Fullmetal Alchemist 24 continues the battle for Central City rather than opening a separate final adventure. Hohenheim's confrontation with the homunculi's father is part of the volume's advertised focus. Read the preceding offensive before this book, since the meeting depends on the conflict already under way. The buying case is to follow that confrontation in sequence, not to skip to a decisive-looking cover number and expect the earlier preparations to explain themselves.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Hohenheim's confrontation gives the larger struggle a particular opponent facing the figure at its center. VIZ pairs that encounter with Bradley's return, so the situation can change on more than one front at once. That is the reason to resist selling the volume as a single settled duel. An apparent opportunity against one enemy does not secure the wider battle while another can reenter it. The synopsis supports the pressures, not the result. Read as part of the extended conflict, the book asks how much any local advantage means when the surrounding balance is still unstable.
