![3 Year Old Naruto asks the 3rd Hokage Why He Doesn't Have Mom and Dad - Naruto’s Childhood [60FPS]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0sMJQch_ocU/mqdefault.jpg)
Greed just wanted some friends and when he finally got some he sacrificed himself to save them... what a bro
Jared Everett yea, and it took one of those friends to open his eyes to the fact that that's what he always wanted
Damn, why can't he be my friend?
Bro:')
Furthermore, I've had this head canon idea that the underlaying purpose Greed's Ultimate Shield serves isn't so much to protect himself, but to protect his "possessions", what he cares about (shielding his possessions from damage (harm) with his physical being); he was just a little too selfish to realize it could be used that way. :P
Without hesitation, Ling immediately offered his philosopher stone to save his friend, completely Sidelining any thought of winning back home becoming emperor of Xing. Thats a true friend.
and thats a true king
One of my favorite details of the entire show. Whenever a character sees the truth note the door behind them. It always has alchemical emblems on it representing their knowledge and expertise. Father's however is blank. Everything he had he took from others. He had no knowledge of his own and so his door is empty. It's such a tiny detail that most viewers would never even notice but Arakawa added it in as just a little extra note to really show the type of person Father was.
Also another tiny detail. The way Ed delivers Pride lying on his coat to Mrs. Bradley. It's reminiscent of the way a folded flag is delivered to the widow/family of a fallen soldier. A fitting similarity given the circumstances with both her son and her husband.
Shouldn't there be something small for his knowledge he shared with the king, the Nation wide circle?
@smith22041 That wasn't his own knowledge either. He was created from truth itself by the alchemist who owned Hohenheim. So all his default knowledge came from Truth. None of it was learned or created by him.
Father is a character full of ironies. He desired a family, but because he was too busy looking down on humanity rather than acknowledging his envy for what they have, he didn't even know how to _be_ a father and treated his children as expendable. He wanted ultimate knowledge but always stole everything rather than striving for that knowledge on his own. He never comprehended what makes humans tick on an emotional/spiritual level because of his inability to learn from the creatures he derided for their "inferiority."
This is an underappreciated point. Just look at how aghast he is when he asks Greed, "How could you betray your own father".
Greed the "I don't always lie, but when I do I die and traumatise my best friend" Avaricious
pretty much, yes
The line "This is the fullmetal alchemist's last transmutation" always gets me. I feel so emotional about it.
Hohenheim's death is the one scene that _always_ makes me cry, no matter how many times I watch it. :'(
best anime dad
I'm tearing up
And then the fecking music starts
And I just lose it.
It hits when sid - rain starts to play
always.
i am crying right now
Yes, in the end, Greed dies because he realizes that his friends are all he ever needed to be satisfied. He doesn’t need power or riches. Greed really isn’t so greedy when he dies. After weakening the body of the ultimate antagonist, his Philosopher’s Stone dies out, and he fades away into the sky. Greed’s death is so wonderfully symbolic because Greed himself solves the problem of greed. In order to defeat greed, we needn’t look far and wide. The answer to getting rid of greed is to look at what we have and be thankful
What’s interesting to note about Greed’s death is that he isn’t defeated. He sacrifices himself. Out of any of the Homunculi, it’s easy to admit that Greed’s death is the most meaningful, and even touching. always remember to sit down be humble
Niyah Interestingly, the virtue of Charity overcomes the vice of Greed. No man hath greater love (charity) than to lay down his life for his friends.
couldn't have said it better myself
Ed giving up alchemy wasnt a small price to pay Alchemy was his whole life but he gladly gave it up for whats truly important
Even though Trisha couldnt keep her promise Hohenheim kept his promise he came back and smiled
Original Translation of Pinako finding Hohenheim in the Graveyard: “You Idiot .....Ive never seen a dead person so Happy “
RIP Greed, my favorite Fmab character and probably one of my all time favorite anime character!
FemaleExitIsNotOnFire and AmazingLadydoor my fave too. My bro. My boi
Don't know if you caught this but when the Truth was congratulated Ed you could hear Ed's on voice with Truth.
Cartoonking1 Yup!! And that's only in the dub! Strange cause it's such a brilliant detail, I find it mind blowing
"I am all and I am One, this also means that I am you."
Hologram Not really. In the Japanese version Truth’s voice is always clearly overlayed with Edward’s, whenever he is inside the gate. It is clearest when Truth yells “Take whatever you want!”. And when it is Father standing there, Truth’s voice is overlayed by his. I am saying this as a person who watched both the dub and the sub countless times :D
Gamze Coban This is true but in the Japanese that's how it was the whole time, in the Dub it only really happens in this instant. :)
That ending song was actually Hohenheim's story . He had been waiting for a millenium , suffering that sorrow. His sorrow was the rain that had been following him everywhere .
That song is really touching.
Ed sacrificing his alchemy to bring Al back was a unique solution for them only. Because they performed human transmutation together, their souls were intertwined. This allowed Ed to go through Al's gate back to reality. Anyone else would get their bodies back in return for their alchemy, but they would be stuck in that white void. Another manga detail.
Personally I’m glad that detail got removed. I’m sure you could also spin that into some philosophical message to but to me personally this not even being an option for anyone else (not even someone with the same problems and lessons to learn as Ed) really kinda weakens the message for me.
I don't think so anyway. If he's truly talking to God or Truth or whatever, I have no doubt he and Ed would be LET out if nothing else. Arguably, it wouldn't be a fair trade otherwise, on top of that "God" apparently likes it when people or creatures that use alchemy get really enlightened as to what it can and cannot do and it's 'place' in the world.
I think I cried the most this episode because of Ed’s Dad and greeds death. Literally ripped my heart out and stomped it.
I think what really stuck out with Father’s talk with Truth is Father’s portal. Ed’s portal is full of detail about things he’s learned on his journey. But in the pan shot of Father’s portal there’s nothing on it, nothing at all. This signifies that, despite Father’s thirst for knowledge- for “perfection”- and everything he’s done up to this confrontation, he really hadn’t changed at all.
Actually Ed's portal of truth is an image of Robert Fludd's Sephirothic Tree and is the same the first and last time he goes through it. Each person's door show the core aspect of their personality (hence why mustang's showed the formula for flame alchemy). Father's empty door showed that he had no inner personality left indicating that with out his flaws (the homuncli who he removed and then died) there is no personality. An identity is made of both the good and the bad and without one there is nothing left of the other.
@@prosesabre This is a good idea (probably true) that I've never seen anywhere else, though admittedly I never read the manga or hung out at places that are discussing the manga instead of the anime.
"shut up you rotten father" I never thought I see Ed, who comes off as a man at the end of this tale, turn into a child so purely in that one moment because he felt like he had a caring dad for once.
This is one of the things I like most about the show. Not many people realize that despite it starting off with Al and Ed, the story is about Hohenheim. He because my favorite character when I first watched the series and the more I watched and analyzed, as well as reading the manga, I realized its all about him. Ed and Al are great but he is next level. All he had to go through, going through life with the burden of all the death of the Xerxes people, and having to get to know and talk to half of them. Seeing his loved ones die as he never aged and even having to leave his family, the only thing that made him happy in order to get a start and make the reserve transmutation circle to stop Father. R.I.P. Hohenheim, you sir are the best.
well the first person we see in the first intro is Hohenheim, and the first ten seconds basically sums up his entire backstory
It's the Journey and the story of Hohenheim
The ending always gets me so much. My lips are shaking, my eyes full of tears and then 13:34 i cannot hold on anymore.
The first Greed was melted down by Father for his most valuable part.
Lust was killed by Mustang in a cold, passionless fury, defending his ever-hinted love interest.
Gluttony was devoured by Pride without remorse or regret.
Sloth was put down after a long, strenuous, drag-out fight.
Envy committed suicide after somebody took sympathized and took pity on him.
Wrath died at peace, succumbing to his wounds with the cycle of revenge being broken.
Pride's sins caught up with him when his desperation led to hypocrisy, leading to his death (There's more to that, but don't want to spoil it yet).
And the second Greed sacrificed himself after realizing he already had what he wanted.
Ah, figured someone dropped the list already. :/ Damn Tales of Beseria sucking me into it's story.
Von hohenheim~ the man who spent decades living after having his entire country sacrificed, believing himself to have been struck with a curse, was given a second chance at saving the lives of another nation and his family from suffering the same fate as xerxes.
You've done more then enough to deserve a peaceful rest, and to be with trisha once again.
Not decades. Centuries.
13:35 . . . and that's how "dick" dies, a really sad death but an excellent end for a great character
kleiver carrasco Man poor Richard. Hope he's happy with his wife now, he deserves it.
You can understand by her voice at the end she don't want to FMAB to end who can blame her FMAB is a the greatest anime ever
I really thought Greed was going to make it.
reed dies because he realizes that his friends are all he ever needed to be satisfied. He doesn’t need power or riches. Greed really isn’t so greedy when he dies. Greed’s death is so wonderfully symbolic because Greed himself solves the problem of greed. In order to defeat greed, we needn’t look far and wide. The answer to getting rid of greed is to look at what we have and be thankful.
Ahhh noo, I don't want your fma reactions to end! Hohenheim's death, oh my GOD it breaks my fucking heart, he died next to the love of his life, he loved his family so much. Ed crying gets me every time. This is such a good show. AND THE ENDING SONG NOOO I'M CRYING SO BAD.
Vickismol With Trisha at the very end reaching out to him!! D;
aaaaahhhh my heart cant take it
Vickismol He had such a tragic life but at the end, he was at peace and he died with a smile on his face
Yess, he ended up making peace with his sons and that thought KILLS ME he just wanted everyone to be safe
Vickismol ...He even wanted to live a bit more...
All I ever wanted was freedom from the flask :(
No one understood me
freedom from the flask... Freedom from consequences... That's some serious mission creep, wouldn't you think?
Unfortunately you never truly learned anything, as evidenced by your gate of truth with nothing written on it. Yet the humans you persecuted learned much from their trials. I did pity you, although, especially the 7 different parts of yourself you purged.
I love that Truth had hints of Vic Mignogna’s voice at the end!
Also implying that if Ed had given the correct answer at age 11, he could have avoided all this grief.
But the Truth gave him a second chance. The brothers had to learn to depend on themselves & other people for the lesson to stick.
Al's laugh/chuckle is just adorable
man i love this anime so much, it truly is one of the best ive ever seen and your reaction videos reminded me why i love this show so much thank you
So alas we reach the penultimate; Greed died content, Hohenheim dies returning to his family and Father, he wanted to be God and so he gets his wish, he is with God, but forever trapped in flask again. There’s so much we can get into, Father’s door being blank, the Truth sounding a little like Ed at the end, the foreshadowing in the 4th opening, Ed fulfilling his promise and despite everything, all the shit they went through, the Elrics finally get their happy ending. The ride is almost over, just one last stop
I remember your first fmab reaction and wondering how youd react to the end
I would like this comment but you have 64 of them
I think that one of the greatest things about the writing in FMA is that in their final moments, you both understand and pity the villains. They might have done horrible things, but in the end, you understand what flaws lead them to that state and you pity them that this is the fate that they meet. FMA is not only one of the greatest anime ever made. It's one of the greatest stories ever told
"Can i get my leg?"
"Don't push it"
This has been an incredible journey for you, I am glad to join you for it, I really do think you should watch the final episode today, ending it on the final day of the year
She said she binged them a while ago, so she's already watched it (and recorded the reaction, obviously).
Eternal wanderer who seeks death finally found it, but as cruel fate, moment his final breath neared he wanted to live a bit longer :(
This anime is a masterpiece as it teaches life's lessons involving hard work and humility. That scene with the truth and the gate shows what happens when people accept or reject the truth. Edward accepted the truth and no lives a happy and peaceful life, while father rejected the truth and he is condemn to a life of misery and suffering for eternity.
Yass Been waiting for this one Happy New Year Everyone
Whew, I've seen this episode so many times but I still can't help but tear up when Ed and Alphonse walk through the gate together with their full bodies. Fun watching with you, these uploads were great!
Before watching reaction: Oh no Laurelei is going to cry so much this episode...
After watching reaction: Hmm actually not as much crying this episode as I thought there would have been. 1 Episode to go.
The way the VA for Greed says "You don't even need me anymore" is gut wrenching. It really sells this feeling that Greed thought he was replaceable to Ling, that he just needed any philosopher stone rather than Ling needing him. And even if he didn't think that, it makes it so much like he wants to convince himself of it.
We're arriving at the end of this journey...
Hohenheim actually kinda looks like uncle Iroh in that last shot
It has been an amazing ride to watch the series all over again with you. I still remember how it started and can't believe this happy place is coming to an end.
Thanks for reacting to this series. Thanks for loving this characters. For caring for them.
I totally going to cry after seeing your reaction to the last episode.
I love that Ed repeats part of what Father said to Greed, "Return to nothing!" Then you immediately have Truth do the same thing by calling him boastful. It's like all the slaps in the face and I love it.
A happy ending given such tragedy and loss... even in the darkest of times, light can shine through.
I keep coming back to this reaction. This and all of your reactions...your emotion and reactions are so pure. Please keep doing this
What a great reaction!
It took you some time to cotton on to Ed's sacrfice. It was ond of the only things I realised were going to happen super fast, so I found your confusion quite interesting.
Hapy ending, indeed.
What gets me slways in this ep is May. She crushed on Al, but only started to because she imgined him tall and strong. Here is Al back in his body, but frail and surprisingly small, really. And May feels nothing but relief! Somwhere along the line a stupid little crush became something far deeper.
I always tear up when I watch this episode
No matter how many times I already watched... Hohenheim's death always got me into tears ;u;
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Really loved your reactions to this series. It's like watching someone go through the same emotions and appreciation for the show that I had when I first watched it.
Greed: first to die, last one standing
This episode: "You think you are sad? Nah, not yet."
I loved your comment as Truth was dissolving, "The truth within the truth," a callback to Marco's words, and I never thought about it being applied in this instance, yet it fits brilliantly. Ed faces the literal Truth, and realizes that the best way to bring back Al is to give up his Alchemy. The truth within the truth is Ed's realization that he is nothing more than a simple human, and all he needs is his friends to live his life, and opens the way to Al and back to reality.
In case you didn't know, there is one more episode, so this isn't the final ending. lol
She said "pentultimate" in the beginning. She knows
yep the last last episode REALLY hits the feels.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT!! BRING ON EPISODE SIXTY FOURRR!! AND HAPPY NEW YEARS LAURELEI LEE!!
Masterpiece of a show.
CONGRATUFREAKINGLATIONS. You made it all the way here. :D :D :D Oh man . . . seeing you react with such satisfaction and joy to Al’s reunion with Ed made me so happy. When I watched this show for the first time, seeing that happen made every part of the emotional hell I endured worth it.
FMA:B has the greatest character developments ever 💕💕 every one of them was given the time to grow and shine in the series. They are so different from the first time you saw them to their last moments. Such a great series 👏👏
Absolute hell of a climax this series has!
HYPE HYPE HYPE
and a happy new year
One cannot watch Hoenhiem's final monents without shedding tears, manly or not
Hohenheims death scene is one of the only scenes in anime to ever bring me close to the brink of crying
Truth’s face when Ed offers his gate, and again when Ed finally understands what Truth wanted everyone to understand
One more episode! I’ve enjoyed your reactions very much, in fact it’s the series that brought me to your channel in the first place. Can I request that after the last episode, you watch the bloopers?
9:30 FMAB is based for the most part on philosophy. its main themes are mostly a reflection of the idea of 2 worlds, the world of forms which reigns over all our 5 senses and the information we receive from them. within the world of forms exists everything we can see, hear, touch, smell, and taste. (what we'd call reality) the second world is the world of ideals. this world is completely empty (and in this case portrayed white to show its emptyness) within this world exists everything that is, was, or has been. everything that is, but doesn't have a form. your thoughts. your emotions, your ideals are all here. it is everything and nothing at the same time. for when there is no form, there is also limitless possibility for there to be 'something' all is one, one is all. (i hope i still make sense its kinda hard to explain properly) with this in mind this scene makes alot more sense. the white person he faces is 'truth' it is everything and nothing at the same time. it is god, the world, it is one, it is all, and it is you. it is quite litteraly your reflection in the mirror on life. now to explain the scene. Ed and Al first face themselves or 'truth/god' when they're kids, in their attempt to reanimate their mother they deny her death and as a result come face to face with truth who as a payment for them trying to step into his domain takes their body's away (their form) in return they're given a fraction of the knowledge that resides within the worlds of ideals equal to their payment. but is also because of this knowledge that they're led astray. (one can ponder all the questions of life but if he then decides it is meaningless or he has therefore already seen it because he thinks he knows 'truth'' he is blind to actual change, this is the answer the Homunculus got 'you haven't grown at all, you're still clinging to the idea of godhood and knowledge instead of accepting what you have and making the best of it) when Edward does his last transmutation he faces truth again. this time he recognizes his mistake. he says: i have your payment right here, This is my Door of Truth is it not? that means it is up to me on what i do with it, am i wrong? this is the same as saying: these are my interests, thoughts, ideals, hopes and dreams. (The truth that is ME) that means it is up to me on how to use them right? he recognizes and accepts his place in the world next to his friends, paying truth by changing what he values in life. he no longer tries to become equal or above 'truth/god'' and instead recognizes that to try to do so is futile, ' nothing has changed, i am only a tiny pitifull human, always been, i couldn't even safe a young girl that turned into a chimera'' truth notes that when you give up your portal of truth you'll never be able to perform alchemy again. (alchemy being a mirror to philosophy) he's saying by giving up what you perceive to be reality you'll never be able to have the same mindset again. are you sure you want to move on from what you call 'truth''? to which Ed hears the voices of his friends and accepts his place in this world. which is the right answer to this philosophical ponder because no matter how much you think, nothing will change on just that. you're still a tiny itsy human. so to move on one has to change their ideals and mindset, not the world. and that is the only answer that can bring peace of mind. and be considered 'correct'' not because it is 'correct'' or 'reality' but because it is the only way to move onwards in life. sorry for the row of text. if you've made it this far i hope you've learned something. FMAB is such a more complex show then on you could imagine.there is an endless amount of symbolism. from them losing their limbs on which they stand as a way of showing their wavering conviction to the way eyes are portrayed through the show to show 'truth' but also show that it is only a personal truth. not a universal one, its endless..
There is still one more episode and be prepared to cry some happy tears.
Edward gave away his alchemy to save his brother, and saw the truth that for all of his power all he ever was was just a simple human being. That was what made him different from the Dwarf/Father. Father was unable to see that and strive to be much more and have more power. Unlike Ed and Al who both learned and grew in the knowledge of the lesson they learned from tampering with nature, Father failed to learn anything. He paid the ultimate price -- namely damnation in despair -- for his arrogance. Ed humbled himself and accepted that he was just a flawed human being with friends to help him. That was what saved him and Al in the end.
THERE'S STILL THE LAST EPISODE, EPISODE 64! THE EPILOGUE!
the Truth is actually one of my favorite characters, because they come off as arrogant and cynical, but in the end they're just testing Ed and the others
Please take a fine rest before heading to the finale. It's a relief to see you persist this far, and since the series is coming to an end, you don't have to push yourself too hard like you used to.
I hope this is not included as spoiling, but it's just so wasteful to enjoy the ending with all the worries and pressure you've been under. (hug
Theres a ninja chopping onions in my room.
I drop my tear again. great scene
I like how all the sins "died":
Gluttony got eaten
Lust got burned by a womanizer
Envy commited suicide because of him being ashamed of his own envy
Wrath died peacefully
Sloth died while being hard at work
Pride got beaten because he abandoned his pride and then got spared by his enemy
Greed sacrificed himself for someone else
Womanizer?
Mustang was a womanizer(He used to visit Madame Christmas' girls) But he was genuinely devoted only to Riza, whom he killed Lust to protect.
Mustang cultivated the image of a womanizer to disguise his covert operations. Notice that the code names he uses for his men on the field are all female. He also uses the girls at Madame Christmas's place as informants and Madame Christmas herself is his foster mother. So a man who looks like a womanizer but is truly devoted to only one woman defeated Lust. Better yet, he was protecting the woman he loved at the same time!
You have to watch the credits if the final episode!! You mustttt!!! Whether it's in a separate video, you have to watch it!
Pretty sure this has been said before, but Father's desire and Hohenheim's desires were pretty much the same, but on a very different scale. All this time I was very against Father being a negative image of Hohenheim, but now it fits all too well.
Just remember there's a blooper reel to watch once the show is finished.
Did you get to watch the end credits of this episode? I love how it sums up Hohenheim's long coaster of a life and feels so much like an emotionally-charged curtain call.
Bradley died with a smile too!
you looked like you just went through a war.
I pretty much did. That was an emotional battleground.
Somethings I noticed, The Truth doesn't call them sins but 7 desires, Father's gateway has nothing on it.
AND I WELCOME YOU TO THE "VOID".. NOTHING AFTER THIS ANIME, YOU WILL FIND THE PERFECT ANIME TO FILL YOUR VOID
code geass come close tho
Joe Cavalier Jojo
#LaureleiLee, you are so amazing. I have just subscribed to your channel, so this is my first time commenting on your anime content.
All the homunculi died ironic deaths based on their sin.
-Lust was killed by a womanizer
-Gluttony was eaten by Pride
-Sloth overtaxed his body
-Envy was humiliated
-Wrath died peacefully
-Pride was humbled by Kimblee
-Greed freely gave of himself for the benefit of others
don't forget that there's an episode 64!!
Greed lied because if he did not Ling would have damged himeself holding on to Greed.
God, the feels also come rushing at me when watching this last episode and it never gets old.
I really felt Father's terror when he met the truth.
I always lose it when the music starts at hohenheim's death
So, let's recap:
Lust=Incinerated
Gluttony=Eaten
Envy=Committed suicide
Sloth=Worn out
Wrath=One last battle
Pride=Humbled
Greed=Sacrificed himself
Father=Trapped in his own personal Hell
I've seen tons of anime through out my life but this one was hands down one of if not thee best anime I've ever seen. I truly enjoyed your reactions and you're an awesome person just as a whole. I know you have next years line up already set but an anime that was truly great too that you might like was D gray man you should check it out if you haven't.
Although Hohenheim and Bradley died, their bodies didn't disappear. Please remember that the other Homunculus's bodies didn't remain. These facts mean that Hohenheim and Bradley were humans.
I enjoyed your reaction. I'm looking forward to watching the last episode! (I'm a student in Japan. If my English isn't perfect, I'm sorry. )
You should react to Monster, it's 10 episodes longer than Brotherhood. Or if you haven't seen Avatar: The Last Airbender watch that.
ATLA is in her immediate plans already, if I recall correctly! :D
That’s why i like greed so much.
Wow. Great reaction. This anime is amazing. Isn't it?
Бля пиздец какое же гениальное аниме. По сути, в начале он с братом поставил себя выше бога, попытавшись с помощью алхимии воскресить свою мать. Потом в начале сериала считал, что сможет снова легко вернуть тела философским камнем, то-есть опять нарушение равноценного обмена. А в конце вырос духовно и физически и пришел к тому, что это сила мнимая, и поставив себя на место, само осознав себя в качестве простого человека он решил свои проблемы. На этом взрослении основан весь сериал. Герой учится на ошибках
When Ed tells off Hohenheim and call him father, it's the first time Ed cries on screen in the series
fionafoxXscourge4eva he gets angry, he screams but they never show him shed a tear
I’m so sad FMA brotherhood is almost over.
Completing the ironic deaths of Homunculi, Greed of course died a selfless hero in the end.
Lust died to a man who wanted to protect the woman he was devoted to
Gluttony was eaten by Pride
Envy was jealous of humans and killed himself out of shame
Sloth overworked himself
Wrath died peacefully
Pride was defeated by Kimblee exposing and shaming him as well as Ed, who was a humbleish person rip him out of his shell
Greed died having everything he had wanted
Father died knowing nothing
SO MUCH IRONY!
Don't forget to also watch the blooper reel, it's hilarious!
Man why the fuck am I crying I seen this episode a bunch of times lol
