So for a lil Context with Scar revealing more Tattoos. His People, Ishvalians believe ONLY God should be allow to Create.
Alchemy is to Destroy an Object, and than Reconstruct it into something new. Aka Destruction and Creation
Scar's Alchemy ONLY had the Destruction portion, his Brothers arm. Which in his mind was ok because he did not use Alchemy to create.
That's a simplified version 😅
Welcome to the Mother of all Cliffhangers, we have cookies XD
The weight of scars new tattoo failed to reach you. The original arm only destroyed, that's all it could do, that's why it was scars whole fighting style. The new arm allows him to create and activate proper circles the way all other alchemists do but still unique to his style.
Damn, I haven't watched the episode yet, but I'm disappointed that I read this.
It is not new but rather Scar just wasn't using it.
Another fascinating thing about this too is that because of his beliefs, only God is capable of creating, which is why Scar was so against alchemy.
Sadly not an uncommon thing for reactors to miss. I feel like it's practically 50/50 whether a reactor will notice.
@captainkatsura26 well he might have had for a few months canonically, but this is the first the first time he is seen with it thus it is new.
Ahh yes. Episode 60. The episode where the audience is reminded that we really had NO CLUE WHAT SO EVER what Father's plan actually was. xD
To be fair it was for shadowed in part with the whole gluttony eating fullmetal etc. they were discussing fathers attempts to open the eye in various ways. Gluttony just being a failed attempt at that.
@@DocktavionNot only that, inside his belly they had a talk about the xerxes circle, where Ed literally said, that the meaning of the symbols seems to be: "I will strike god down to earth and become the perfect being.", but he had no clue that it is in fact literal, what father had planned.
Arakawa-sensei is a master of foreshadowing. She gave us everything, but never connected the dots until this very moment. This is the ultimate gut-punch. GOT's expression mirrored mine when chapter was released. In one moment, all glimmer of hope that kept us rooting for our heroes was crushed into dust and blown away, leaving us empty. Everything we knew for certain flipped upside-down before we could even process it enough to reaction. By the end of that chapter, I had forgotten to breathe.
🤯
We did not see Yoki die on screen. Clearly he will be the one to beat Father.
This is true ^^^ Yoki being the one to defeat Father is a canon event
fr fr
is yoki the mr satan of this series?.....
@@pandapo7542 he is now lol
Yoki is actually Truth in disguise
I think the end of this episode is the quietest I've ever seen Luke in any reaction, ever. 😂
Good show, huh?
😂
Scar's brother had tattoos on both arms. One was for destruction and the other for reconstruction. When he transplanted his own arm onto Scar, he gave him the arm which had the ability to destruct -- only one half of what alchemy/alkahestry does. Scar hates alchemy due to the State Alchemists, so he was reluctant to tattoo the other arm with the ability to reconstruct using his brother's notes that they found in the North. This is the first time you ever see Scar be able to create anything using alchemy (technically alkahestry in this case, but same same), but it is wholly necessary.
You've already seen Roy using his fire since you're done with FMAB so, you already know that he doesn't need his alchemy circles anymore. Opening the Portal allows him to use himself as a circle like all the other sacrifices.
Thank you for explaining!! ❤️
this might be the best sequence in all of anime period, its so biblical, lovecraftian, massive in scale, 60 episodes building up to it, warned since the very first episode. It still captures the characters we've been following, not as heroes that have everything under control but little insignificant ants being swallowed by god itself without even understanding why.
And the use of the best ost ever lapis philosophorum while everyone is "dying" gives anyone insane chills
Well, Luke, remember every time you talked about cliffhangers?
THIS is what we were waiting for. The cliffhanger of cliffhangers. The absolutely unpredictable 😨
Now I will say nothing more and let episode 61 speak for itself.
It was... Fun 😂
18:34 "Anything that you might happen to desire, I can assure you that I desired it first." -Father.
Now think back on what all the homunculi truly wanted. And also remember it for later.
True and sad
I think the most depressing thing about Father is that he spent all those lives doing nothing. He had those lives and a body to walk in, he could have lived his ideal life among others like Hoenheim did. But instead he holed himself up underground, the farthest away from genuine human interaction, all for a plan to gain more meaningless, soulless, lives. What’s the point of immortality if you’re never gonna use it to do what you truly want? Instead of acknowledging and pursuing his true desires, he placed himself the farthest he could from what he wanted by removing his ability to want at all. To the very end, the Dwarf in the Flask was the most pitiable being who truly didn’t learn anything-not of others, not of life despite the countless lives he had inside him, and not even himself.
Its a really subtle thing, but I've always loved how Father's voice changes throughout this episode, at the start he maintains the commanding, condescending prescence he has since we met him, but at the end, just before his transformation to his massive form, his tone jumps up and for a minute he sounds reminiscent of his old self as the Dwarf in the Flask, its a moment he drops the facade and just lets himself enjoy the culmination of all hes strived for, an easily missed detail that he hasnt really changed at all since those long gone days
Absolutely!!! By the end it almost doesn't even sound like him anymore 🤯
12:00 No, he'd only used deconstruction part of alchemy / alkehestry before (or better said, he stopped alchemical process with that), now he can also reconstruct, aka create, not just destroy (which goes against his original conviction).
🤯
I've never seen you so stunned and defeated before 😅. Not that I blame you of course... I can't wait to see how you feel after you finally know the ending. We're here for you Luke. It's one crazy rollercoaster of emotions for sure.
👀👀
You didn't quite understood. Scar inherited of his brother's arm that is the "deconstruction" part. He was only able to destroy, to deconstruct during all the show. But reading his borther's final researches he understood and accepted the two part of alchemy "deconstruction" and "reconstruction". he also knew what was at stake about the upcoming events and had the tatooes of reconstruction alchemy on his other arm to be prepared. He was only fury, vengeance and destruction, but he learn that he needed to rebuild. That is why Wrath was so shocked.
I appreciate people explaining this a bit more deeply ❤️
Bradley thought that if he immobilized scar's right arm with the tattoos, he'd be able to kill scar as scares left arm is just a normal arm. But to Bradley's surprise scar used alchemy with his left arm too. That's why Bradley got shocked.
That ending scene was pure insanity; it was essentially the equivalent of Eren activating the Rumbling
or being turned into Tang like Evangelion
💯💯💯
But of course this is the end, everybody dies and the next 4 chapters are all about Our Father and his path to conquer the rest of the world and establishing himself as the Supreme Truth.
"I guess you could say I've finally arrived."
Bradley was groomed from birth to become a warrior and fuhrur. He even was turned into a homunculus without his choice or consent and then he had no choice but to follow the path prepared for him. So after 60ish years of never being able to do anything for himself, to now have the opportunity to do something purely and only for himself, must be an incredibly euphoric and liberating feeling.
And if the end of the last episode was kicking while you're down, the end of this episode is a steam roller.
absolutely wild, he he ended the video like he just news of someones passing. thats such a good reaction to being speechless, i cant wait for the next episode
This episode always breaks peoples brains. When they finally understand the scope of Fafher's plan, they can't handle it. Ed actually mentionedt this ending while in Gluttony's stomach but everyone misses it.
15:50 Uhh, Mustang can definitely do any alchemy at that point without a circle. He can now use his own body as the matrix. He might have not realized it at this point, though.
Which begs the question, how massively OP would the brothers be if they knew Flame Alchemy from the start?
The issue is that he’s blind. His power is far too destructive to use without sight. One wrong move and he kills not only himself but everyone in the room.
@@PopeDuwang he also still need a source for the fire like his Glove that create static Spark, all mustang does is create a funnel of Air the fire Follows and uses it as fuel.
Basicly he an Air Bender that controls fire with Wind.
@@CommanderM117 Yep. As long as he has a Spark and the sight/judgment to determine the power of the Flame, he’s good now.
Aww I’m so sorry Luke. I feel bad for cracking up at your stunned silence. I was the same the first time. But trust, is all I can say. If there’s one thing you can trust about this show is that it never ceases to surprise you.
I also laughed at how stunned he was lol
I was saying "Yes, everybody just died"
I laughed so hard honestly XD just the absolute silence and stunned look was too much. Do I feel bad for laughing so hard...yes...am I still laughing a little even after it's done...definitely.
The music played during Father opening the gateway was so beautiful and haunting! I definitely have to find and listen to that song. Found it its called Lapis Philosophorum in case anyone is interested!
Jeez I swear I can relate! It’s been years since I first watched FMAB but combining all the movies, series, etc I’ve watched, that scene is still the best for me. Lapis Philosophorum’s even pinned through me. Musically speaking, even if you can’t understand, the melody in it literally sums up the dark side of equivalent exchange. That explains why beautiful and haunting makes sense. Equivalent exchange is beautiful, but can get dark as that.
That expression. That look of shock upon watching this episode for the first time is a genuine one of curiosity and horror that leaves you in awe and speechless as you try to comprehend what you just watched. That is the look that I figured you would make upon watching this episode. As voices cried out in pain and agony until there is no other voice left in that country to be heard and there is nothing but silence and despair. You now understand where so many were at when we all first saw it for ourselves.
Yeah... I was right this was easily the worst cliffhanger in the series, everyone is "dead" (trapped is a philosophers stone) and Father claimed God, this is the ultimate failure of the good guys and a horrible spot to end an episode.. keep watching it gets better.
And thus Luke reached the "Bad End"... Time to start over from the beginning and try some other choices to avoid this outcome, maybe make sure Yoki doesn't crash his car so he can get to the battle in time to stop God from being eaten.
They couldn't stop the madness of one being... like in our world in the end...
4 episodes left though so what will happen? I know what will happen and I was totally lost from this episode too and the end is philosophically interesting
12:32 Ed certainly wants to try Winry's apple pie... if you know what I mean
yes, her two round apple pies yummy
I can't wait for you to see the end of this.
I'm also very excited about Re:Zero, because not only is it my 2nd favorite anime, but the reactions people have on it are priceless.
The Amazing thing about this series is that the anime and manga Ended at the same time so only the author and those close to him / and the anime knew how it was gonna end so everyone was in limbo of how it was gonna end
The 2003 version ended 7 years before the manga 💪💪
Those last few minutes bro was completely immersed 😂😂😂
The right arm of Scar only made him capable of destroying but now with the left he can perform reconstruction/creation.
I can believe we are so near the end and everything seems so hopeless.
Scar's tattoos are the results of his brothers research combining alchemy and alkahestry
The arm he's been using, the one he received from his brother, is only able to deconstruct/destroy
Thanks to decoding his brother's notes he was able to obtain the tattoos for reconstruction that he used in this episode
That episode ending... I realize that just like a lot of jrpgs, the protagonists are gonna have to fight God/a God-like being lol. You're close to the end! Hearing your thoughts on the characters is making me more excited to see how you'd react to what the finale has in store for them.
After this, you can say you've watched one of the best anime there is (there are other great anime out there and I wonder which you'd watch next).
Just imagine how was for all of us that watched the anime when we were little kids...
*Day 155* of recommending the *Beyblade openings* .
There are the Japanese ones and the English ones. The English version has one opening for a generation, and that for the 1st and 2nd generation. The 3rd gen has one op for one season. But the Japanese version has multiple ops for a season in any gen. You should definitely check both versions out. I made playlists on my channel, so you don't need to search, cause in those compilations are a few off and not in the correct order. Thanks for checking out!
Title: This the end
Me: Err.. no, there's 4 episodes left
Mustang's glove are destroyed but, having seen the truth, mustang can use alchemy without a circle. I can't remember if he does so we'll just have to see together :D
I hope you react to the bloopers after you finish the show. Not only does it contain some truly iconic lines, but it's a hilarious send-off for FMB:B
And this moment, right here, is why I list FMA:B as one of my major inspirations for the plot of my D&D campaign.
Ahhh... Luke!! Yes, it is an insane episode.
I was shocked the first time I watched this episode.
Some interesting things...
Scar has tattoed both arms with the results of his brother investigation.
At this point Mustang can perform alchemy without a matrix.
Now what?? Well...🤷♀️
Luke: *silent and thinking hard at the end of the episode*
Me: Yes... yes
Hey Luke been subbed to you since you started your anime reactions but never commented before now. I'm glad you love FMAB so much! I have a question to ask, are you also going to react to FMA 2003 series? The tone feels much different than this one though.
What is this timing?? There was an annular eclipse just 2 days ago! It looked just like the one in this episode!
OMG Did we get all consumed by alchemy and didn't notice yet? 😱
Bad guys win, Good guys lose, EVERYONE dies. What a great ending for an episode, eh?
Been waiting for you to get to this cliffhanger ever since you mentioned hating them.
I always wonder what the surrounding nations must've thought and felt when they saw a planet-sized eldritch god emerge from that little upstart country nobody likes and ostensibly devour the moon. Like, on a scale of 1 to 10 how awkward was the next diplomatic meeting with Drachma?
I have been loving your journey with this. Thank you so much for your time, energy and effort (and oh boy am I looking forward to you seeing the last three episodes!)
I am going to give one recommendation- if you think FMA has great sympathetic villain writing, I suggest you do at least the first major arc of Naruto. I realize that the show is massive and you probably don't want to commit to a full reaction without some serious thought and consideration, but the opening 4 episodes and then the 14 episodes of the arc are doable if you want to check them out. I don't think I've ever gone from 'he's a psychopath' to pretty much cheering for an antagonist before or since. And villain backstory for the show as a whole is pretty top notch. And you're going to need something to fill your time now that FMAB is ending (or already ended, depending how far ahead you are on Patreon)
Can you imagine just how brutal it is if the Philoshoper stone existed in our world? How many sacrifices will it takes? Perhaps, there will be no more left in this world. Fmab really represents the real world, because human in general, they will never learn their mistakes from history. They just keep doing the same things over and over.
Below here is the lyrics of OST you listen in 22:24 timestamp.
Stone of the philosophers, red stone, stone, how many human sacrifices are required to cross the bridge of happiness ? You must understand that there is much misery, a calamity behind happiness. When they are an impediment to the land over time, you know that they were dead in the infinite.
You must understand that there is much misery, a calamity behind happiness. When they are an impediment to the land over time, you know that they were dead in the infinite. Look, look at the death, if you want to return. You'll learn by your blood to protect the forest with your arms and to fool. Oh, stone of the philosophers, red stone... does it affect the reality?
I've noticed in FMAB reactions that commenters will like to use a certain line from "Infinity War" at the start of the Promised Day arc to herald how epic the coming episodes will be. But personally, I think it more fitting to wait to utter that phrase until this moment, when the villain has beaten the heroes, accomplished his longtime goal, and caused death on an incomprehensible scale:
We're in endgame now.
Dont give up hope, its not over yet!! Youll see soon!
Also Say hello to Scar's new tattoo and his ability to reconstruct now! This is a LOT considering how he started long ago, only using his right to deconstruct, kill and also be against the reconstruction side alchemists use.
Looking forward to the next episodes, we're almost there!
Wild ending, but I can't wait for the next episode since it has my favourite opener of fma!
Also open-mouthed awe is the appropriate reaction to that ending sequence.
*Day 85* of requesting a reaction to the following openings:
*Chivalry of a Failed Knight* op
*Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress* op
*Kiznaiver* op
You could make a multiple op reaction for this. Thank you!
Imagine being in one of the other countries and seeing a giant shadow monster rise up out of your neighbor and swallow the moon god or whatever. I'd be flipping my lid.
First time I watched this was with my bros and were not normally very loud but when we saw this episode we got as loud as football fans anytime something happens.
Am I the only one who can't take the intense scenes and lines seriously anymore because the bloopers come to mind? 😂
Until he stopped the video to say that he will be mostly silence, I had forgotten that that was a reaction video 😅😅😅 and was just watching 😂 That's why I love this anime (and anime in general) no matter how many times I watching it always feels like the first time ❣️
Great reaction. This episode's ending hits hard, especially with the music
15:00 lmao yes, Ed's acceptance of his height is the best revelation 😂
Scar, with his tattoo from his brother's arm, could only comprehend and deconstruct. The new tattoo gives him the ability to also construct, which is the third and final phase of alchemy. He's accepted both hands of alchemy.
This is in fact the darkest episode in FMAB in my opinion
I recommend you to binge the last episodes.
Not to worry. This is where the series gets REALLY good.
I saw u misupload the EP 61😂
Now imagine watching that weekly!
So you will start the Re:Zero?

This episode is one of the best ways to show the magnitude and scale of what was really happening. Got to hand it to all involved for such a great scene, including the English VAs. Just a fantastic job all around.
"I finally arrived."
D... Did Bradley say he just came?
"Everything you've ever desired, I wanted it first."
Well... Technically? Not everything. There's one thing Greed wants that Father never did.
I spit out my proverbial coffee and laughed at your reaction at the end… I know what you’re thinking but just hang in there! It’s not done!😂(i know you’ve finished it already )
Others have already stated that Scars new tattoos don't allow him to do alchemy per se, but the reconstruction part of alchemy, while his right hand only did the reconstruction. For alchemy you first have to deconstruct something into it's components before you can then use those components to build something new (like Lego).
But what they failed to explain was WHY this goes against scars beliefs, it's because Scar believes that creation specifically, is reserved for god and god alone since he is literally "the creator". So by using alchemy to create new things he believes alchemists are trespassing on the domain of god, an act of hubris where humans overextend themselves.
This ties in to some of the overall themes and the gnostic symbolism of the show, which I'll say some more about when everything is over and done with.
A lot of reactor don’t notice how Scar finally creates something against Bradley instead of just destroying. This was a monumental moment for him.
I dunno why but I find the story for FMAB/the manga poorly written towards the end. It feels way too anime compared to the rest of the story. Imo the original FMA has the superior ending, it at least makes sense within the framework of the rest of the story. Probably a hot take, but I am making it.
So here we are. The final stretch. The show actually told us way earlier, in Gluttony's belly, what Father's plan was. "I will strike God to Earth and become a perfect being". He wanted to absorb God, absorb Truth, and to do that, he needed people who had all met him, and he needed the raw power of an entire country's worth of philosopher's stone, and the working of an advanced transmutation circle designed for such a task. His plan come to fruition in full.
One thing I love about this show is how well thought out EVERY ELEMENT is. We're told there's a larger world outside Amestris. Drachma, Aerugo, Creta, Ishvalla, Xing. And there are people from all over Amestris, and major players from Xing in the story, but we've never actually left Amestris, we haven't seen much of where Ling, Lan Fan, Fu, and May are from outside of momentary flashbacks. It all happens in Amestris. EVERYONE we come to know and love is in Amestris..and we just watched Father kill every last man woman and child in the country. There are stories with higher stakes, technically. Most sci-fi has interplanetary threats at a minimum, if not galactic or universal. There are global apocalypses all over fiction. You're currently watching Dr. Stone, and all civilization is at risk of being wiped out if the wrong person dies or fails to complete their mission. But this is different. We don't KNOW most of those people, but here? Where, as you've noticed, even the unnamed, minor background characters can play a major role in how things play out, where what would normally just be "the background soldiers" can become "the guys who saved the Armstrong siblings from Sloth's attacks", where the whole point of the story is the importance of every human life, so many of whom we've been given names and faces and reasons to personally care about? HE killed the Hughes family. He killed the Armstrong family. He killed Lan Fan. he killed the Briggs soldiers, he killed Denny Brosh and Maria Ross, he killed Rose and the old storekeep with the radio the boys fixed in episode 3. He killed the automail engineer Dominic, his son, daughter in law, and grandchild. He killed Pinako and Winry. He has acquired the power of God and made himself "The perfect being".
The stakes literally could not be higher.
The best thing about this anime is that you cannot predict what is going to happen, and the truth is there are not many that have this characteristic that makes it so good, and also making sense of everything that happens, it really is the best anime to start with For someone who has never seen this type of series. I hope it's understood since I don't speak English that fluently and I use Google Translate, I think I must be one of the few Spanish-speaking subscribers you have. Greetings from Argentina.
I have been WAITING for you to get here. This ending, right here, this is the ultimate cliff hanger. The bad guy won (in this episode), he killed everyone and ate God! Are you not entertained?! Are you not CRUSHED ?!
Imagine having to wait a week to find out Wtf any of that meant. It was so cruel.
Scar used only his left arm, which was a combination of alkhestry and destruction alchemy. He refused to use creation alchemy as it clashes with his religion (he was a monk for a God named Ishvala), however he chose to use his brothers gift to help bring about salvation and had the other half of the circles he already had completed with help from the research notes he decoded for Mei and Marcoh.
Mustang can definitely transmute with just a clappy clap clap now. That's the "gift" of seeing the truth. He is definitely nerfed though, and you'll see what they do about it.
You only have two more episodes of plot my friend. The final episode is allll epilogue. So I hope you're ready for these next two episodes and be proud you didn't cry like a baby like I did when I saw this for the first time!
Also, once more, #IsaacWasRight and if Ed had just let him freeze Father, none of this would be happening
Trust me. The next episode is going to be AMAZING! In case you hadn't figured it out, Father wanted to become a "perfect being". That's all he ever wanted. That's why he built the circle and why he pulled God down to earth and swallowed him
That face of despair of yours. Priceless. I always thought this climax is what evangelion tried to achieve, but well done 😂😂.
Never mind the "scar's tatooes" misunderstanding, as disappointing as it was 😅, your speechlessness was worth it😂😂
There are not a lot of stories where the evil plan is actually completed. The only other one I can think of is revenge of the sith and that was part of a larger story. This show is constantly praised for it's masterful writing but this is the most artistic and masterful stroke in the entire series. The bravery it takes to say "father is not just going to bear them but is going to achieve everything he wanted to conquer god" is insane to me.
13:54 as I mentioned last episode, if Al joined back with his original body he would still be in the portal. Meaning he wouldn't have even been there in the first place and Father wouldn't have his 5 sacrifices.
16:12 wrong. He can use his alchemy since he d performed human transmutation. He no longer needs his gloves or a transmutation circle. Jus like Ed, Al, and Izumi. He just can't aim it.
Y'know whats kinda crazy? Hiromu Arakawa managed to get to this apex, a crest of power, a level of onmipotence and omniscience through very few key factors.
1. The concept that an individual like a lifeform is a system that accumulates information to that systems threshold, ie the truth that one individual being can hold.
2. That the soul of an lifeform is energy that can power alchemy, which can be collected and distilled into a physical form of raw energy.
3. Human Transmutation tampers with the threshold of information a singular human holds, which results in opening of that individuals gate of amassed information which is their gate of truth.
With just these few concpets, Hiromu Arakawa gave the vilian the the information for him to amass enough energy to literarly rip open the gates of truth (the threshold of information of a celestial objects) the Earth, and dragging God within himself. I adore worldbuilding and coming up with concepts, and I'm always floored at what the author manages with very little and that's all thanks to how well definied her magic system is and never over conceptualizing with such a well tinkered magic system. I know of tons of other stories that would go ham with a hard magic system like FMA's alchemy, but She kept it streamlined and that takes a ton of dicipline as an author.
Now I'd love for you to watch few vids on FMA after you finish watching the brotherhood that explains and delves deeper into the alchemy side of things. There's this wonderful yotuber who's known to be the goto expert in real world alchemy, Max Derrat. He's known for content that sines a light on topics of mythology, theology and alchemny within mass media like video games, tv shows, films and anime/manga. I have a feeling that you might really enjoy reacting to what author gets right with the hard alchemny concepts that many would brush off as fluff but actually holds ton of historical significance.
Love your reactions and can't wait for you to finally reach to the climax and resolution of Full Metal Alchemist. This series is one of those stories that I built a habit of following as each chapter of the manga was serialized month after month and year after year.
Every single time I see the end with Father scene I imagine random Xingese people looking west and going "What the actual fuck". It's so funny to me. They have no context for what's happening, they just see this GIANT one eyed man thing emerging from the ground, screaming at the moon.
It is important to remember xerxes ruins and gluttony stomach.
I will drag god to earth
And swallow god.
God, world, truth, one or all.
And i am also you.
This was dwarf in the flask plan for 500 years.
Yeah now you know Father's plan in full. The "Gate of Truth" and the entity behind it that Edward, Alphonse, along with everyone whose performed human transmutation has been talking to is in effect god. So Father's first goal when he created the alchemy circle in the past was to make a body where he could act autonomously and in doing so created Hohenheim as a sacrifice for his plan. Then having a body of his own he began the long process of creating Amestris for the purpose to accessing the planets "Gate of Truth" in order to reach and consume god for the knowledge of the universe. His goal is to become "The Perfect Being" and what other being can be considered more perfect then A/The God?
2 nameless men
Fighting to the death
This is battle/war.
Race
Circumstances of birth
Sex
Social status.
In battle its all meaningless.
The right man to fight wrath.
The man once consumed by his wrath.
"Was that actually gd?"
Remember how The Truth who dwells at The Gate always introduces themself:
"I am the called by many names; I am the world, I am the universe, I am god, I am truth, I am all, I am one, and I am you."
If you like villains who are just as likable as the heroes I really recommend Hunter X Hunter it’s my fave anime of all time! (FMAB 2nd fave)
Construction and Deconstruction. 2 sides of Alchemy as a whole. Alchemist typically deconstruct the envoroment and then reconstruct it to attack, but Scar stops after the first step, his alchestry tattoos only desconstruct, so he destroys whatever he grabs. That combined with year of training as a monk and going for the kill gave him the edge over the alchemists he was hunting. But he never made structures, Al said as much when they were fighting, and Scar himself said Creation was the Domain of God, not to be imitated by man. He threw away all his beliefs because he relized what was at stake here, and knew his usual bag of tricks wouldnt cut it in a face off with some of the strongest Honunculi.
I've seen every single reaction of this episode on youtube. you are by far my favorite reactor to this episode. you were just in awe of whats happening
DO NOT SKIP EP64 CREDITS!
best anime in the entire history
Man, being called amazing and beautiful for the 60th time now, doesn't get old ;)
When Bradley says, "I guess you could say I've finally arrived," it's about as good a translation as they could manage for, "it feels good, man."
19:19 Of course Greed's worried about Ed. Ed's probably his most valuable minion.
So, here's a fun think to think about. As was seen by Ed meeting a truth with child like proportions and Izumi meeting a truth with more adult proportions and as will be even better shown, truth appears in a shape like the person whose doorway it stands at. In this episode Father talks about the earth as a life form with its own portal which he is opening with the eclipse. What looks like the shape of the earth but all white? That right, the moon. The moon is essentially implied to be the earth's equivalent truth being.
That makes it almost like a piece of ever present foreshadowing, but one no one would ever question because of course the moon is there, and I think that's pretty genius.
Once upon a time there was a homunculus that was a big jerk. He was such a jerk that everybody died.
The End
Gotta love your still-open-mounth expresion for like 5min straight
we're almost there baby! yeah!
You don't even need to say anything, sometimes your expression says more than any words 😉
Also... Winry stayed at home, but you be the judge if it helped her😬
Idk how anyone ever manages to not immediately start the next episode. Such a great finale
Yup, everyone is dead. This is the end. The last 4 episodes are just screen savers in the form of recaps.
Also, Al returning in his human body wasn't an option. He either returns into the armor, or he stays with the truth. The latter option would have prevented this from happening though.
You think that ruined the scene? Now imagine if he said, "I guess you could say I've finally Come."
