People are always asking me why a think certain people make a good couple. So here's some hints and info I've seen in the show for Greed/Marta. The next pairing will be Scar/Lust.

Greed/Marta: This pairing seems to be more based on Marta's feelings towards Greed, though based on episode 34, it may be neutral. Not to mention it's more or less the Royai of the "villain" world, with Greed being the commanding officer and Marta being the tough female subordinate. Now for some more hints (in my opinion).

Episode 30- When Greed is shown on the couch, Marta is behind him. Look at her face- looks sorta jealous, don't she?

Episode 33- Marta is the only one of the subordinates who actually refers to Greed by name, instead of Boss or Sir. Also, Greed really seems sorry when he accidently injures her while she's inside Al.

Episode 34- Greed's apparent first thought was Marta's safety before he goes to confront Dante. Seeing as he thought she was still in the old woman body, it's doubtful he thought he would loose, but he still want her to stay safe. He also refers to her as "Doll" at one point, possibly signifying a deeper relationship than simply superior/subordinate.

The major hint is the similarity to Royai- a somewhat laidback flirtatious superior and the loyal, strong subordinate.

The first small hint is based more on a person's own views, to me she looked jealous for some reason or another.

Episode 33 Hints- For the first one, I know that Law and Dorochette refer to him by name as does that one dude who got killed before Kimblee blew the wall. However, when they say it, they're/he's in danger. When Marta says it, she sounds somewhat worshipful and posibly something deeper. The second, Greed maybe more humane than the other Homunculi, but he seems to have little concern for when he hurts others. Despite this, he really appears apologetic when he says, "Sorry, about that Marta. I forgot you were keeping house".


34 Hints- It was proven that Greed didn't know that Dante had skipped souls from his last words before the array that drained his energy began to effect him. So...why not let Marta come with him if he thought Dante was still an old lady? Well, he knew she was an expert at alchemy, and if she didn't simply do what happened in the episode, that the alchemy would have almost no effect on him. He could however, effect Marta and possibly injure her. In other words, he was watching out for her.

Some people would argue that the "Doll" comment can also be used to support Greed/Izumi. However, it's the way their delivered. The Izumi-"Doll" is more of a mockery of her fighting- ("I already told you I don't bruise easily. Don't you listen, Doll?") Whereas when he says it Marta, he seems more serious- "Greed...what're you gonna do?" "Can't really get into it, Doll. The talking's done"

I got that same vibe from them. It just sucks we didn't get just a few more episodes with them together.

Yeah....but we can make assumptions as to what they're doing in our world....I mean we see Alter!Bido, Law, and Dorochette....but not Alter!Greed and Marta....

Makes alot of sense, I get what you're saying... too bad their relationship wasn't very close at all in the manga series

Which is why I prefer the anime- my fav "bad guy" couples have more proof in the anime.
