woah, getting a little too deep right there.

Wrath is suppose to kick ass. That much I know. but he is still not the fastest. Sloth is the fastest.

Wrath's ocular technique seems like a rip off from Sasuke and or Kakashi.

As far as alchemy specialization, it is probably not that big a deal, since skilled alchemist can do basic stuff like fixing a radio, clock or even a new paint job on the truck without much problem. Whether they need to draw some transmutation circle, thats a different story.

btw, Hohemheim is the one that doesnt use a transmutation circle. Thats because he has a philosopher's stone.

Izumi, Al and Ed, uses a "simplified" transmutation circle, clapping their hands. to form a "Ovular" circle.
