RIP King Bradley, a man so badass and so tough that even when massively wounded it still took literal divine intervention to take him down.
SSJ5Gogetenks
Literally RIP, the voice actor passed away :(
The English VA?
Akira No Legs Fudo
Yes
That's a shame. I never knew he passed.
Akira No Legs Fudo
Yeah, he used to voice Sebas in the first season of Overlord, but they replaced him in the second one, so I wanted to know why. That's how I found out :(
Hiromu Arakawa, author of fma said that if wrath is at his prime age, nobody on edward side could even do anything to stop the father's plan
Zyuu Fuwada I would argue that Ling (especially if working perfectly with Greed) could.
Early in the series, Ling successfully fights Bradley off.
With one arm.
While carrying an injured woman on this shoulders.
which makes no sense. had greed entered full body armor there would be no way for any aged wrath to harm him
But that's the whole reason Bradley never gave greed the chance to use his ultimate shield and the reason he took advantage of Greed's one weakness, he can't heal and use his shield at the same time. That's why when he is given the chance Bradley always mops the floor with Greed.
@@teamcybr8375 He fights on the defensive for less than ten seconds against a Bradley who is very obviously not giving it his all. It's still a testament to Ling's immense skill that he was even able to do that much, but I honestly doubt that 15 year old Ling is a better combatant than Bradley even WITH Greed. The latter's been training since birth AND is enhanced with the Ultimate Eye.
And as per literal word of god, Prime Bradley would be unstoppable lol. Arakawa has said that the good side would have just straight up lost since no one would have been able to beat him.
considering that Ed literally has the power of God and anime on his side, that’s saying a lot.
That reaction to Wrath literally grabbing the sword with his mouth and stabbing Scar did not dissapoint, haha
it's shocking because he grabs it instantly like wrath's arms being ripped off didn't even phase him at all.
I love how much symbolism there is in this show. Every character has something going on with them. Hell, the homunculi alone are chalked full of irony:
-Lust was killed on her knees by the fiery passion of a man protecting his love. Also, Roy has a reputation for being a lady killer.
-Gluttony was eaten. He was consumed by one who was hungry for power; another form of gluttony.
-Envy kills himself because he realized he was jealous of humans.
-Sloth died from over-exertion. He chose to die when living required too much effort. Also, one of the people responsible for his death was Alex, a man who did nothing when he knew his government was in the wrong (Ishval). Alex refused to repeat that mistake and took action; ending his own sloth.
-Wrath died at peace with his life. And he was killed by Scar, a man who overcame his own anger.
-Pride, while not technically dead, is defeated when he lowers his standards to become something he believes to be below him. Furthermore, Ed had long since abandoned his own pride after being humbled many times in his life.
I love it. It's up there with Avatar for great shows.
I knew most of these but I never made the connection with Armstrong. Damn it that's good.
And the original Greed was killed by being boiled down in a smelting pot like gold and then drank down in one greedy gulp.
Pride not dying is also symbiotic of pride being humanities greatest sin--and the one sin that will never die
Boiled down for his most valuable component, too.
and father's death is also fairly symbolic, although in his case, it's very clearly lampshaded. truth is a big fan of ironic punishment.
See it’s villains like Kimblee I sincerely appreciate, ones who stay true to their convictions no matter what the circumstances.
whatever he is, a hypocrite is not one of them.
I think Selim's baby body is inspired by the real world medieval theory that humans had tiny humanlike dwarfs inside them called Homunculi, which was an explanation of how pregnancy worked. The three main goals of our worlds old alchemy were to transmute gold, discover immortality, and create homunculi.
basically, fuck bitches, get money?
Interesting bc in amestris, their laws is to not transmute gold, not to make people, and to listen to the government.
@@venrakdrake omg I cant fucking breath
In a sense, Edward became a philosopher's stone before. When he was mortally wounded from falling on that pipe, he used his own spirit like a "one-soul philosopher's stone" to patch his injuries, even though it shortened lifespan in the process. It looks like he did the same thing again, this time to spare Pride. I think he spared him so Mrs. Bradley wouldn't have to lose both a husband AND a son.
Jude Miller Yep
Wrath died at peace with a smile on his face.
Pride faced his downfall when attempting to give up his pride to escape into a lower lifeform.
Lol good ole Kimblee! He certainly didn't let that hypocrisy slide. Kimblee, a human, calling a homunculus a disgrace gets me every time!! I also really love the fact that Kimblee understood Ed so well that he knew Ed wasn't going to kill Pride.
Also, Hohenheim's plan was so ingenius! He was already a few steps ahead of Father all this time!! Now, we also know why he was gone from home all those years.
Lalisa T Kimblee may have been a villain but he was a badass!
Gluttony died from being eaton
And Sloth died while fighting with all his strength.
And Envy committed suicide after being looked down on in his true form.
And *spoiler* Greed died because he sacrificed himself.
And I guess Lust was killed by a man. That sort of fits.
Lalisa T I just love how it all lines up. The timing and the way they died just makes sense it's like the irony of their death naturally happened rather than the writers set it up that way.
Envy committed suicide when ed revealed to him that he was actually envious of humans
remember in episode 26 where Ed described the image of the Lion eating a sun as striking down god? I love how when Hoenhein announces his attack his face is drawn like a lion and father was holding a sun. it's an amazing call back and conveys the weight and importance of Hoenhein's.counterattack. this series is amazing. Also yes, it is a visual representation
Jesus I didn't even notice that. It's insane how well conceived this show is, that even while I praise every second of it there are STILL things that surprise and amaze me.
I love Hohenheim in this episode. It's amazing how he comes full circle from the first time we saw him as something of an enemy to being the hidden hero who sacrificed so much the entire time.
Pun intended?
@@Pokemonleafmon lol
Kimblee waving his hat at Edward will always be one of my favorite moments in this show.
Just thought I'd put some perspective on how INSANELY tough and badass Bradley is.
Consider this: Scar is, I would say, one of the top 3 or 4 combatants in the series, along with maybe Izumi, Mustang, and of course Bradley. And the distance between him and some of the others is not even close. He destroyed the Elrics twice (literally in the first case), repeatedly made short work of Gluttony, and Armstrong was doing all he could to just not get killed by him. He was also quick enough to make Hawkeye miss him at close range, and even before he got his destruction arm he was taking down armed soldiers barehanded. In short, Scar clearly outclasses most of the rest of the cast.
Also, Scar starts out the fight uninjured and we can assume at full strength. He also has his new reconstruction arm, which Bradley clearly did not know about.
Bradley, on the other hand, has multiple serious wounds at the start of the fight with Scar. He had a sword run through his gut, a bullet through his shoulder, and his Ultimate Eye taken out.
So you have a one eyed, half dead Bradley against a full health Scar who's kicked everyone else's asses so far and has a literal ace hidden up his sleeve, and only through a stroke of *luck* does Scar kill Bradley.
And even with said stroke of luck , Scar almost died anyway.
I would say Ling is a better combatant than Mustang. Mustang is just overall stronger because of his strong alchemy. As a fighter, Ling may even be better than Scar. Unlike Scar who had alot of trouble dealing with Bradley who's heavily injured, Ling managed to hold off Bradley while carrying Lan Fan and forced Bradley to use Gluttony to help.
I was speaking as an overall threat in Battle. Mustang took down two homunculi almost singlehandedly. Also, Ling held off Bradley with entirely defensive maneuvers for less than a minute by going into his blind spot before blindsiding him with Gluttony to end the battle ASAP. Scar doesn't have that luxury.
Ling held off Bradley with entirely defensive maneuvers while holding a wounded woman on his back. Unlike Ling, Bradley could move freely. Bradley had all the advantage, yet Bradley couldn't counter it beside using a second party.
If Ling was fighting Bradley in this final battle, Ling would've taken full advantage of Bradley's injuries and his permanent blindspot. Ling is a smart fighter afterall and he may even be faster than Bradley. Bradley is known for his insane speed, yet Ling managed to get from point A to Fu to point B in that small timeframe of Wrath trying to finish off Fu.
Both Wrath and Ling were nerfed throughout the series. I would even consider Ling to be superior than Bradley if Greed gave Ling access to his power.
Top tier fighters are Ling and Bradley.
Beneath them are Scar and Izumi.
Those are your top 4 fighters
Luck my ass.
"SURELY YOU BEGAN TO THINK THERE WAS NO GOD IN THIS WORLD AT ALL!"
*Immediately gets blinded by the sun.*
That there's divine intervention.
5:40 King Bradley : *"INCREASE BADASS LEVELS TO MAXIMUM"*
*"THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM"*
*"GO BEYOND PLUS ULTRA"*
+YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!! all of the above and even your name fits haha
KING BRADLEY IS THE FUCKING BADASSS
Poetic that Scar conquered Wrath!
Some good writing there.
Boom Ol ... still finished him. Meaning he overcame him... notice how I didnt use a word like "decimated".
Boom Ol Somebody missed literally all of the symbolism.
scar got his ass wooped even with every advantage. then got stupidly lucky
@@timothyacowin9761 still overcame him. wrath a disrespectful atheist being undone by an act of god is poetic
@@davidajayi6516 I know the symbolism but scar didn't overcome wrath. He was entirely outclassed by wrath
That exit from Kimblee though 10:46
Kimblee is so badass character. He knew everyone's weakness. He had the ability to read everyone's mind and manipulate their thoughts. He didn't spare even mighty pride, just waited for the right time.
something to take note of about the scene where Bradley was blinded by the sun. In alchemy and many different cultures/religions, the eclipse is considered a symbol of god/gods/the highest power. Ironic that right at the moment Bradley proclaimed there was no real god that the very symbol of god intervened and caused his death.
Mustang doesn't need a transmutation circle anymore, he has seen the truth.
As I am sure they will soon realise.
yea but without one he cant create fire by snapping his fingers.
Yeah but he doesn't need to now as he just use clap Alchemy .
snapping fingers is a lot more convienent
Veloce
Actually his snapping is to create sparks using the ignition cloth his glove is made of. So regardless the snapping has nothing to do with the process of his actual alchemy, just an ignition to the transmuted gasses.
Rest in Peace, Ed Baylock. :(
the Scar vs Wrath fight is so amazing, and the ending always leaves me liking Wrath.
Lol in full length i love how shane completely forgot the end of the last episode and was reliving father absorbing god and just shocked and looking around and wondering why everyone else wasnt shocked at all. Sad that got cut out but i imagine it is getting harder and harder to edit these episodes.
lol thanks for sharing this
Zach Kelley
There were nicer ways you could have phrased that...
5:43 I love Eric's reactin, that was literally me when I first saw this scene. Like Bradley is so badass even when the odds are against him he just surprises you with his mouth
RIP King Bradley, the most badass Homunculus. You will be missed.
3 episodes left and you will have completed the best anime ever (imo)
Eric's reaction to the Wrath vs Scar fight is one of my favorite things on this channel.
The forms of the Hommunculi are often fitting.
Envy, jealousy is small (petty) and an ugly thing.
Gluttony was beastial.
Sloth, a titan, hard to budge.
And Pride? Pride is simply childish.
Basically Ed singled out Pride/Selim using his philosopher stone form and destroyed everything but that one soul, leaving him with only his own soul, which is the child.
"Can he still snap?"
*infinity war flashback*
Infinity war is the new Vietnam.
More like Infinity War PTSD
If you recall when Pride was alone with Al in Hohenheim's trap, he explained how he had on at least one occasion been surprised at his foster mother's willingness to protect him with her own life, so the flashbacks to his adopted family aren't out of the blue. Pride had probably started to develop affection for them, or at least his mother if not Wrath too. We also have to assume the Fuhrer's wife would have noticed at some point that her adopted son didn't seem to be growing up, so Selim had probably only been adopted relatively recently at the beginning of the series. I guess he was just added assurance because Father knew the promised day was getting close. Before that, Pride's only real job was probably keeping Sloth's tunnels protected.
I love those counter plan is not an ass pull. He left his family 12 years ago because he had to slowly calculate and set as counterplan in motion and he even mentions that he has a last resort in his back pocket before the promise Day
We;re almost there!! XD We've come a long way!
My favorite moment when all of you were relieved when the baby started crying.
5:46 is also the best moment.
I keep replaying the part where Eric is fangirling out during Wrath's last fight.
"WTF DUDE" rofl congrats you've now seen just what Bradly could do xD appropriate response
Scar vs Bradley is my all time favorite fight. It.has everything action, blood, phylosofy, high steaks, character growth, its like poetry. And come on the usually cool calm and collected Bradley going bat shit crazy and how complex his final goodbye is, it's almost like he was happy to be proven wrong. Its everything I get my life everytime I watch that, it'll never be topped.
Was so nice of Scar to draw an illustration for Lan Fan even while he's injured lol.
I love when Edward said you foolish boy.
Because over the course of the show people had called him that.
But this part cemented his transition as a man.
10:30 I’m with Shane. That line sounded so dirty
Rip King Bradley and Rip Ed Blaylocke
RIP Bradley/Wrath, RIP Ed Blaylock sir. Amazing voice acting. Fucking badass character.
Kimbley hates hypocrites even in death, what a character. Mad respect for him, even if he’s far from my favorite antagonist.
I also love that Ed points out to Pride that his Father is just using him “he’s wearing you ragged and he doesn’t even care” and I think about Hohenheim stepping in front of Ed earlier to shield him from Father’s attack. There’s the difference between their fathers.
This reaction series is ending in two/three weeks daaaamn!
Kimblee man. Badass to the end.
I’ve been waiting so long to see your reactions to the scene of Wrath stabbing Scar with a blade clenched in his teeth... it was worth the wait!
I stand by my word that that is the best opening sequence of the show
Doing a second watch-through of the reactions (though not nearly my second time watching the series): that silence that turns into the intro after the souls return is still the most powerful moment of a show full of extremely powerful moments.
The next two episodes are gonna be amazing. I can't wait.
and 64 isn't? lol
About Pride's death, what Ed does is similar to that technique he used to heal himself when he was impaled by the pipe in the fight against Kimblee (ep 41 i think); he turns himself a sort of energy form, like a philosopher's stone, and invades Pride to destroy his stone
would have been cool if instead of just destroying pride, he actually removed the other souls. and temporarily housed them in his body
houseofaction pretty sure doing that would have killed him. those souls are insane and less than friendly.
Three steps away from the finale of one of the greatest stories ever told
Guys, it’s almost over. And as amazing as all this has been, it gets even BETTER. I love the ending of this show. It is amazing.
I love Wrath's death, back in episode 30, Wrath practically challenges God to strike him down, and in this episode, the glint from the eclipse, a combination of the sun and moon which in Alchemy is a symbol of God is what finally defeats him.
it's almost over, man it's been good
Oh my fcking God. I literally got goosebumps everywhere in my body when Hoehenheim shouted Moon Shadow. Is this show even made from human being?
Same here. Still I can't help but think Hohenheim was lucky the weather was good that day ^^
The VA for Scar is so good
God, I always love to watch other people's reaction to the last few episodes of this anime. Can't believe we're three episodes away.
I love how you were all silent when the baby got it's soul back and then sighed with relief when it cried.
Ive been waiting for you to get to this episode since you started the series, and I've got to say Eric's "WHAT THE FUCK DUDE?!" did not disappoint! I've rewound that multiple times just to hear it over and over again! Lmao
So...we have to deal with the Godfather, now.
Upload everything! Can't wait another few weeks for all this epicness 😂
Consider this: during the Ishval extermination, the iIshvalvans said that God would strike him down for his sins. During the last battle with Scar, the eclipse broke, forming the alchemical sign for good, allowing scar to kill him. So, that's some big foreshadowing right there!
Hohenheim is the real MVP
That stare after that 'foot snap' at 21:39 lol
Kimblee and wrath.... Rest in peace you badasses
it's a wild ride until the closing shot from now on boys, enjoy!
1:07 Ling has some moves!
Wrath and scar scene was amazing
I love that beginning, its so powerful. There's no music because there's no life, then Hohenheim does his badassery and the music comes back.
"He's turned himself into a philosopher's stone and his forcing his way inside me?!"
sounds like the plot of a hentai manga i read.
Remember when Edward used his own soul to heal his wound when he was stabbed accidentally with a metal, that's the same logic there. He made his own soul to a philosopher stone to get Selim.
Im watching the serie twice. One by my own, and then again with you guys.
i forgot how much of a masterstroke it was using the shadow of the moon as the circle
Next episode is INSANE! Cant wait!
Those in-credit scenes are so badass!
*20:34* “That’s what’s gonna happen to _you.”_ 😁😂😂😂 Gonna miss you Shane 💗
We finally reach the last 4 episodes and this is just going to be epic.
WAAAH?! I started FMAB ten days ago thinking you guy had finished?!?!?! But now I've finished before you??!?! WTF..... I'm sat here in tears and I have to wait another three weeks for you to react, finish and feel what I'm feeling?!
The next episodes are even better. Great reaction
Such a great follow up to the last episode
Jealousy is ugly, and pride is childish. Lol.
Kimbleys appearance at the end turned him from a great antagonist to probably the best psychopath ever. That was amazing!
New King Bradley/Wrath action figure 2.0! Now with "Sword Bite Stabbing" action! Get Yours Today!
I'd kill for a S.H Figuarts or Figma Bradley.
Technically speaking, every individual person is a philospher's stone, just powered by a single soul instead of many.
I cant believe there are only 3 episodes left. It wont feel the same without having Full Metal Alchemist to watch every Sunday. I wonder what they will react to next.
Wrath is so op they need the moon and sun to help scar kill him...
You people are taking eons to finish this , i was behind you and now it's been 4 months i have completed fullmetal 😂😂😂
I always forget Edward knows how to use his soul as a philosopher's stone and this episode is the badass reminder.
I think that pride in the end comes from who you are, and liking it or not everyone is a lot of their parents, it's part of a identity
Haha these reactions are great!
"If you think that (Edward would kill you), you still don't understand Edward Elric " *cut to Edward crushing his fucking brain and skull* yea okay then
I think her presence is the pride of his one and only will, because King Bradley is the only companion he has chosen to love and choose.
Well, when she praised her ass, she fell in love with her slap, which was inevitable even with her strongest eyes. .. ..
The President's wife may be the strongest in a sense.
all those pipes in father's lair are pumping his xerxian souls around amestris and by sending a command through them, father can block alchemy, because alchemy draws energy from tectonic motion, father can block that energy from ever reaching the alchemists.
however, the reason he has been unable to stop scar, mei and ling from using their alkahestry abilities is because they draw energy from the living flow of energy that exists in all living beings and in the surface, in order to block that, father would have to wrap an alkahestry practitioner in his philosopher's stone. scar in particular is special here, because his tattoos are a mix of alchemy and alkahestry and theoretically make him the only person able to perform a clap transmutation without having seen the truth.
so, by using the counter-circle, the ishvalans took away father's ability to negate alchemy by cleansing the souls between them and the tectonic plates. and yes, what every alkahestry practitioner senses when they walk into amestris is father's putrid, stinking energy flowing under the ground.
do you guys remember when he fought Kimbley in Baschool, he was impaled by a large metal beam, he channelled his own soul as a "philosopher's stone made of one human soul" to save his life.
Wrath, a badass until the end. That reaction to him grabbing the sword with his mouth was awesome. Also, REACT TO PRISON SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!
“I’m uncomfortable” lol
Symbolism. Jealousy is ugly, and arrogance is childish.
I usually just get annoyed when babies cry but after the last episode that baby beginning to cry again was the most beautiful sound on earth XD
The Sun God Leto coming in with a clutch save against Wrath
Michael Phelps vs. Wrath was one of my favorite scenes
Remember when Ed tried to seal his horrible wound by picturing his soul as a one-man philosopher's stone? That's the technique his used to force into Pride, or at least something similar.
thanos killed them all XD
Holy shit, Wrath has been disarmed.
Father swallowed god.
I bet Mustang didn't see that coming.
So we've come to the end only a few more episode I'm excited brotherhood has one of the best endings to a series ever
