Interestingly, more than one person noted Hoenheim's age as something whereas that didn't make my top 10, instead I had "Roy starts a civil war" and no one else seems to have had that.
I had been expecting Hohenheim to come back (and be evil, as I suppose everyone else expected *G*), but hells if I expected what they did. I was also blown by the Dante thing, which started out so small; she's the woman who taught Izumi. She's killed mysteriously. *blink* Wait, if Greed was locked away for 100+ years, and Dante made Greed, then... waaaait... Anyway, the waiting for that was a great part. I considered most of my best spoilers to be the ones that made me go "WHOA!", which is why things that aren't all THAT important (in the great scheme of things) are on my list. Also I guess I actually didn't think of that Roy thing...
What I was suprrised about was Ed's initial death.
Oh my GOD yes. Like you say - it wasn't that we didn't know, even when he was killed, that he'd come back somehow... It was just the unexpectedness and the VIOLENCE of it. It's such a harsh death. There's no way that can't take you offguard.
I also didn't include the fact that the philosopher's stone is people on my list, because although it was a surprise, I don't rank it enough for my top 10.
I kind of debated on it myself, but I think it's such an unexpected thing - you don't anticipate that it would truly be that HORRIBLE for them to get what they want, even though you know it will be hard - that I ended up putting it there even though it wasn't as much of an "OMG" as a lot of other stuff.
