@@irokosalei5133 Immortal usually emphasize on not dying of old or live on forever. It never meant unkillable. I.e immortal phoenix die, but it will be reborn. Its just that unkillable is also technically immortal so they eventually become synonymous.
If Itachi taught us anything it's that if you aren't killing your target with flames then you aren't using enough of them. Unless it's your little brother. Then let him win cause why not.
I think that was the whole point of that scene. All homunculi represent the seven deadly sins. And Sloth was so 'sloth' that he didn't even want to live anymore at that point
@@AllOtakuProductions The same goes in In Nomine *A tabletop Heven vs Hell RPG). Lucifer was holding a contest to determinw who would hold the title of Prince of Sloth. Ralph won the title by doing nothing till only he and one other rival for the title remained. When it was down to him and one other, he decided he couldn't be assed anymore and left. In doing so, he won the title.
Lust is killed by a womanizer Gluttony is consumed Sloth dies fighting hard Envy takes their own life Pride's last words are "Please stop!" Wrath dies peacefully Greed dies selflessly and satisfied
Not only that for Pride, but he also died because he was trying to do the very opposite of what he was prideful of, by overtaking an "inferior human", rather than die a fullblooded homonculus, and still jumbled on about being superior Oh and Sloth died fighting against the two of the hardest working men in the world
Sloth was defeated by Armstrong, whose biggest regret was that he walked away from Ishval and did nothing to protest the war. Wrath was beaten by Scar, who overcame his blind hatred and fought to protect rather than for vengeance. The other sins were more symbolic in the way they died rather than representing a character's symbolic journey.
Greeds death I think was one of the saddest in the show. He truly found peace at the end, he found satisfaction for his sin. It was beautiful and poetic tbh.
It is bitter sweet for sure. Greed got what he wanted, and kinda became whole by being satisfied with what he had... which kinda erased his being because he was greed.
The author really made a point to have all the homunculi's death be ironic. Sloth is the least talked and analyzed, but his death led up to hard physical labor by him, the teamwork of Northern soldiers, and finally Armstrong and master's husband paired with Armstrong's family belief on discipline and hardwork really drives the irony. Also worth mentioning the two men's muscles and strength requires years of hardwork and dedication to build.
Genius, but I guess nobody really noticed because Sloth didn't have much of a character like the others, which is also intentional because.... he's too lazy to have one it's really sad lol
Don't forget, he was covered in tank fuel (which contains ethanol, which robs the body of heat) and shot out of Fort Briggs by Olivier Marie Armstrong, subsequently froze and was left out there for quite a bit of time. In a funny way, it's being inactive that helped in doing him in.
Also, while during the story we see the other homunculi being (relatively) chill all the times they were not fighting, Sloth is the only one that we see always working on something
It's amazing how she manages to makes the screams the agony sound so satisfying. I wish more actresses who play villains could inspire that feeling. The satisfaction of a villains brutal defeat and upcommance is such a complex and important thing.
I love how 30% of the runtime of both series just try to justify why they have to nerf Roy Mustang so that he wouldn't one shot every single fricking villain.
@@lemonboi1609 yeah, in terms of flexibility in combat situations, edward elric is on the top, but in sheer destruction capabilities roy is the goat. There's a reason why the alchemic circle (or whatever they call it I haven't watched the series in a long time) for that technique is kept secret.

There's that weird part where Kimblee joins in to fight with Pride against Alphonse. For some reason the anination budget goes to -$100000 for that one scene
Sloth's death is so sad when you realize he spent his entire existence carving out a giant alchemy circle while sleepwalking and when he finally woke up, it was to die at the hands of hardworking men and women who were supposedly inferior to him.
Honestly envy is actually quite chill throughout the entire run. He plays mean so you don't notice, but he's probably the least hostile homonculus short of greed himself.
You know it took me a while for me to realize this. I know that the homunculus deaths are all supposed to be ironic: Sloth died after a hard fight Envy took his own life after his jealousy of humans was revealed Pride begged for mercy at the hands of the person whose body he was just trying to steal Gluttony was eaten to provide nourishment for Pride Wrath dies a peaceful death after fighting a vengeful man Greed gives up his own life to save others But Lust was the one that I just couldn't quite figure out, until I remembered: Hawkeye was there fighting her before Roy came onto the scene.

Finally someone sees it the same way as me! A womanizer could never kill Lust, a womanizer lives out of lust. Roy represents love: Love makes Lust burn/ Lust burned because of Love. It's so much more meaningful and poetic
Scar starts out as a vengeful man, but by the time he fights Wrath, he has FORGIVEN the people of Amestris. Wrath does find inner peace as he is dying, but he’s killed by a man who embodies forgiveness.
Every Homunculus died opposite of their nature. Lust was killed by a man who would not love her. Gluttony was eaten. Sloth died by pushing too hard. Envy was surrounded by those who pitied him.

@@Skeletons_Riding_Ostrichesis not the desire for a good home a strong loving family also greed? Wanting the world to bend to your desire to be peaceful for those you love.
@@codename1176not really. Greed is excess. To always want more. Better home, bigger family etc. wanting to control the world is a bit greedy I suppose
Greed embodied a part of the Dwarf in the Flask's human desires, the one that desired companionship, something that Hohenheim tried to share with him in the past until the Dwarf chose to throw it all away to reach "perfection". How ironic then that the one fatal flaw of the Dwarf's attempt at Godhood (which is ignoring the true strength of sharing yourself with human connection) is what made him truly lose through Greed's sacrifice.
greed became selfless when he realized that what he wanted (friends, love, power) he already had, and all that he needed to do was to protect it. greed still wanted to hold on to what he had, but he stopped grasping for more and he came to the realization that what he already had wasn't just sufficient, but also that it was worth dying for. he never stopped desiring. instead, his desire became properly ordered and fully healthy.
You're right, but we have differing goals, to read thematically rather than literally. Yes, literally Lust didn't die because she was too horny. She literally died because she got incinerated. But thematically, she was killed by a womanizer protecting the woman he truly cares for. Sloth literally died because his stone got pierced, but thematically, he was killed by two people whose passion and hard work (for the chunky muscles babeyy) allowed them to overpower him. It's just a practice in media literacy, that's all. And I'll be honest. FMAB is kinda weaker with the themes compared to 2003, but they're still there.
All homunculus died ultimately because they took too much damage while they fought. Except for Gluttony who was eaten and Greed who chose to sacrifice himself. What people are alluding to is that they died fighting in a manner that contradicted their nature (except for Lust that got burned to death while fighting "naturally"). I also think it's BS btw. They attribute too much philosophical meaning to things that are probably coincidence other than Pride.
Greed: killed by his own father (twice) Lust: got on mustangs bad side Envy: ALSO got on mustangs bad side Gluttony: killed by his brother Pride: got talk no justud into an infant by Ed and Kimbley Wrath: kicked EVERYONE’S asses and died of old age Sloth: T H E S E H A N D S
Lust: Killed by a chivalrous womanizer. Envy: Killed himself to spite the people he was jealous of. Gluttony: Eaten by Pride. Pride: Shamefully tried to run, and was reduced to a helpless and innocent infant. Wrath: Died peacefully after battle. Sloth: Overexertion from years of digging, being frozen, an extended beating, and never tried beyond brute force, being beaten by the most diligent among humanity. Greed: Selflessly sacrificed himself, aand died contented and happy.
For lust’s death: I loved that she probably could’ve taken mustang out. But it was more that she was testing his resolve. He was fully prepared to die to kill her, and she liked the confidence of a man that didn’t just fall for her looks. She didn’t embody lust as a personality, she embodied it objectively. And mustang couldn’t have given less of a fuck if he tried. She was a threat, he dealt with her. She liked that, and stopped before she killed him. For gluttony’s death: I loved that all he really wanted in excess was for someone to care about him, because neither his siblings, nor father did. But lust was more tolerant with him than most. Probably because he couldn’t feel physical attraction. (And I liked that Pride was cursed with his ravenous hunger after absorbing him) For sloths death: I really just loved that he stuck to his guns. He just wanted to sleep, and be easy at all times. He was forced to work because of his size, strength and speed, but at the end of the day, he didn’t give 2 fucks about anything. “Promised day? Please. WHERE MY NAP AT.” And even dying, in his last moment he thought “thinking about dying is a pain….but living to death is even more of a pain…maybe now I can just fucking rest…” For wrath’s death:…his duality of “I don’t know if I’m the same man I was born as, or if I’m just the most vengeful and angry soul that could suppress the rest…but at least I lived my way as best I could, and I had a wife that loved and stood by me” made the aspect of “I hate you all….but I loved her.” So much more powerful. Perfection. For envy’s death: the fact he envied humans for their lives, and how they could fuck up, but push on, and treat every day as a gift, and not have to live with single-minded purpose, but he always tried to put them down because (on paper) he was the superior being…the coming to terms with it in a sobbing mess of tears broke my heart. And worse, he had to hear mustang’s iconic line: “you’re ugly. I get it. Envy is an UGLY sin…makes sense, this is what you look like…” For pride’s death:…the fact he was SO DAMN ARROGANT, that at his weakest, he threw his pride aside to try and rob a human of their body, ONLY FOR A HUMAN TO INTERFERE AND STOP HIM, because he thought “there’s no way a human soul amounts to mine” (WHEN HUMAN SOULS LITERALLY MADE UP HIS BEING, AND ARE THE ONLY REASON HE’S SPECIAL) chefs kiss. And greed’s death?: what can I say…at the end of the day, any broken man knows, all you want is someone that will love you forever and never leave…wanting friends, or family, that loves you for you, and stays by through thick and thin, no matter what…isn’t that what we’re all looking for in the end? I don’t think that makes you greedy…I think it makes you human.
Greeds Death hit me the most. What makes this Moment so powerful is that he is indeed satisfied and didn’t even needed much more than a few Friends by his side.
Arakawa probably writes the most satisfying paybacks for all her villians. Watching Lust, Envy and Father get punished for all the torment they dished out over the show is absolutely delicious. Also when Olivier Armstrong snuffed General Raven mob style. Don't EVER mess with that woman.
1:12 It's one of my favorite things about this version of FMA that the author created a character that uses the lighter for Mustang to use in this scene
Yeah, she realizes he's lost himself to vengeance. And she's going to have to do what she promised if he fell from the right path. God, I cried in this scene. I'd be dead because I couldn't take out the one I loved.
0:42 Then during the final battle, Greed practically dealt a fatal blow to Father as he stabbed him in the stomach. The stab itself wasn't fatal, but he turn himself into carbon from there while destroying Father from the inside. Great foreshadowing.
I love how lust aims for mustangs eyes, and tells him that she cant wait for his eyes to be full of agony, then mustang goes blind. Fma has one of the best writing teams out there, who know what theyre doing and i love it
Laura Bailey who plays Lust is married to Travis Willingham who plays Mustang. So while they don't record together when recording it does make the Lust and Roy fight funnier
Fun fact - all of the sins died ironically by either being uncharacteristic of their sin (wrath, sloth, greed, pride) or died from something that represents their sin (lust, envy, gluttony)
I like how the villains picked Roy Mustang to be the fifth alchemist to see the truth because of how dangerous they considered him. Pride even admitted to him that "yeah you've been a real problem for us for the past year now."
Greed - died satisfying Gluttony - died getting eaten Lust - died to a womanizer Sloth - died fighting to much Envy - died by envying himself Wrath - died calmly Pride - died pathetically
I know it actually took a long and grueling fight that pushed everybody involved to their absolute limits, but I'm entirely willing to believe Armstrong and Sig showing up, posing, and throwing a punch would be enough to destroy a homunculus. The true power of muscles!
I dont feel that Way. I get that the Homonculi are supposed to have some Humanity in them. But Envy is just Trash because he is jealous of everything. He killed Hughes, a little Kid and a nearly a whole Country for killing this Girl. Something like him doesnt deserve Sympathy and i find it wrong that he gets reborn like the others. I mean how can Sho Tucker be the only one in Hell while all Homonculi get reborn? At least Envy doesnt deserve to be reborn. Everyone else yes.
Yes. That little shit tormented everyone the entire show and made a little girl grow up without her dad. He deserves everything he gets. He's just slightly less evil than Shou Tucker. And that's saying something.
6:43 "How could you maintain your individuality among this *Tempest* of souls?!" Foreshadowing how he would later become a Slime named Rimuru Tempest! Also, for some reason I like how his shadow is talking like an actual living shadow.
My favorite unspoken commentary in FMA is that among a lineup of unthinkable, immortal, otherworldly evils with designs on godhood at the cost of countless lives, the truest monster among them -- who even death can't stop -- is the regular old human alchemist Solf J. Kimbley.
Lust killed by a man who called her ugly Gluttony eaten Sloth basically worked to death Wrath killed by a man who let go of his anger. Pride killed (reshaped) by somebody who had to reshape his own way of thinking after not being able to save a girl despite being proud of his alchemy Envy finishes itself due to self pity Greed gives up everything he has to save everything he ever wanted. I love this story.
I never fully realised the symbolism behind all their deaths when i first watched this anime but holy shit they gave every single one of them a perfectly fitting deck. Damn i miss this anime.
This show has just as much foreshadowing as something like AOT. Lust tells mustang "I can't wait for the day to come where those eyes are wide with despair, it's coming... its coming." How does Mustang end the series? Blind. Retrospective rewatches tell you so much and is just so dm blataint its insane we didnt catch on more than we did. Doctor Marco tells edward and yhe subtitles are importan here in both japanese and english dubs because they are specifically capitalized. He says "well ed, maybe you can find the truth within Truth. Oh no, I've gone and said too much already.. " amd thats the end of the series. Marco in a way, knew the only way was to sacrifice your "power," so to say and he knew someone as smart and perceptive as Ed would figure that out. Eds alchemy door was one of the only "complete," doors we see. Thats because his knowledge has surpassed essentially everyone elses, but isnt it ironic the "smartest," character in the series had the only fully blank door? As smart as he was, he knew nothing about true alchemy. He uaed short curs and adversiona to gain his power. He had no real knowledge because he never needed it due to discarding his normal life to achieve perfection.
Why didn't Wrath turn into dust like the rest of the Homunculi? Is it because he's made from a human body and technically only have one soul, making him the most human of them all?
“Homunculi are immortal beings”
Mustang: let’s play with flames
“If it bleeds, it can be killed.”
Maybe the anime doesn't insist enough but they have a philosopher stone as core so that's their weakness. They aren't invincible, not even in theory.

Greed embodied a part of the Dwarf in the Flask's human desires, the one that desired companionship, something that Hohenheim tried to share with him in the past until the Dwarf chose to throw it all away to reach "perfection".
How ironic then that the one fatal flaw of the Dwarf's attempt at Godhood (which is ignoring the true strength of sharing yourself with human connection) is what made him truly lose through Greed's sacrifice.
greed became selfless when he realized that what he wanted (friends, love, power) he already had, and all that he needed to do was to protect it. greed still wanted to hold on to what he had, but he stopped grasping for more and he came to the realization that what he already had wasn't just sufficient, but also that it was worth dying for.
he never stopped desiring. instead, his desire became properly ordered and fully healthy.
It's funny to me how many people get Sloth's death wrong. His philosophical stone got pierced by the spike, he didn't die of lazyness or whatever.
Well he died Fighting so He actually made an effort, the complete opposite of sloth
and put toughest fight of all homonculus
You're right, but we have differing goals, to read thematically rather than literally.
Yes, literally Lust didn't die because she was too horny. She literally died because she got incinerated. But thematically, she was killed by a womanizer protecting the woman he truly cares for.
Sloth literally died because his stone got pierced, but thematically, he was killed by two people whose passion and hard work (for the chunky muscles babeyy) allowed them to overpower him.
It's just a practice in media literacy, that's all. And I'll be honest. FMAB is kinda weaker with the themes compared to 2003, but they're still there.
All homunculus died ultimately because they took too much damage while they fought. Except for Gluttony who was eaten and Greed who chose to sacrifice himself. What people are alluding to is that they died fighting in a manner that contradicted their nature (except for Lust that got burned to death while fighting "naturally"). I also think it's BS btw. They attribute too much philosophical meaning to things that are probably coincidence other than Pride.
@@oceanusprocellarum6853I agree it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the irony.
Greed: killed by his own father (twice)
Lust: got on mustangs bad side
Envy: ALSO got on mustangs bad side
Gluttony: killed by his brother
Pride: got talk no justud into an infant by Ed and Kimbley
Wrath: kicked EVERYONE’S asses and died of old age
Sloth: T H E S E H A N D S
Lust: Killed by a chivalrous womanizer.
Envy: Killed himself to spite the people he was jealous of.
Gluttony: Eaten by Pride.
Pride: Shamefully tried to run, and was reduced to a helpless and innocent infant.
Wrath: Died peacefully after battle.
Sloth: Overexertion from years of digging, being frozen, an extended beating, and never tried beyond brute force, being beaten by the most diligent among humanity.
Greed: Selflessly sacrificed himself, aand died contented and happy.
Wrath is the scariest of them all.. it took an army to defeat him all while having no regenerative abilities
For lust’s death: I loved that she probably could’ve taken mustang out. But it was more that she was testing his resolve. He was fully prepared to die to kill her, and she liked the confidence of a man that didn’t just fall for her looks. She didn’t embody lust as a personality, she embodied it objectively. And mustang couldn’t have given less of a fuck if he tried. She was a threat, he dealt with her. She liked that, and stopped before she killed him.
For gluttony’s death: I loved that all he really wanted in excess was for someone to care about him, because neither his siblings, nor father did. But lust was more tolerant with him than most. Probably because he couldn’t feel physical attraction. (And I liked that Pride was cursed with his ravenous hunger after absorbing him)
For sloths death: I really just loved that he stuck to his guns. He just wanted to sleep, and be easy at all times. He was forced to work because of his size, strength and speed, but at the end of the day, he didn’t give 2 fucks about anything. “Promised day? Please. WHERE MY NAP AT.” And even dying, in his last moment he thought “thinking about dying is a pain….but living to death is even more of a pain…maybe now I can just fucking rest…”
For wrath’s death:…his duality of “I don’t know if I’m the same man I was born as, or if I’m just the most vengeful and angry soul that could suppress the rest…but at least I lived my way as best I could, and I had a wife that loved and stood by me” made the aspect of “I hate you all….but I loved her.” So much more powerful. Perfection.
For envy’s death: the fact he envied humans for their lives, and how they could fuck up, but push on, and treat every day as a gift, and not have to live with single-minded purpose, but he always tried to put them down because (on paper) he was the superior being…the coming to terms with it in a sobbing mess of tears broke my heart. And worse, he had to hear mustang’s iconic line: “you’re ugly. I get it. Envy is an UGLY sin…makes sense, this is what you look like…”
For pride’s death:…the fact he was SO DAMN ARROGANT, that at his weakest, he threw his pride aside to try and rob a human of their body, ONLY FOR A HUMAN TO INTERFERE AND STOP HIM, because he thought “there’s no way a human soul amounts to mine” (WHEN HUMAN SOULS LITERALLY MADE UP HIS BEING, AND ARE THE ONLY REASON HE’S SPECIAL) chefs kiss.
And greed’s death?: what can I say…at the end of the day, any broken man knows, all you want is someone that will love you forever and never leave…wanting friends, or family, that loves you for you, and stays by through thick and thin, no matter what…isn’t that what we’re all looking for in the end? I don’t think that makes you greedy…I think it makes you human.
This comment underated asf
It’s going to take more than fire to kill homunculi.
Mustang: “More fire. Got it.”
Well, no, I uhh well, okay then.
It took lots of fire!
Greeds Death hit me the most.
What makes this Moment so powerful is that he is indeed satisfied and didn’t even needed much more than a few Friends by his side.
All those years after watching the show, I still cry when Greed dies. Amazing show.
Mustang hit envy with that orchestra 👌
I love how Kimblee just roasts pride
Even if he was a terrible guy, he wasn’t a hypocrite and he wasn’t wrong
A bastard, but a magnificent one
He was a terrible person, but he stuck to his ideals
@@Hedgee_as one of osp's fans said a
'Charismaniac'
"Professionals have standards"
@@Sleepyvoidboi2111 Indeed. He was a good and fun character. I both love and hate him, a good trait of an amazing villian.
The amount of EXTRA that has to go in to killing and immortal is astounding and entertaining
Ironic how most of the Homunculi deaths were pretty sad.
Not to me.
If you mean i felt bad for most of them, no. If you mean most died in a sad and pathetic state, then very much so yes.
The only one I felt bad was gluttony because he’s just a lost child who follows the orders of father when he’s not trying to kill you he’s wholesome
Greed's death was metal. He was selfless at the moment of death.
the lust death feels different when u realize roy and lust va in english married each other
Really? Didn’t knew that
Looks like I can finally get you on your knees, after all
World's most...fiery...divorce?
Okay i'm seeing myself out.
Arakawa probably writes the most satisfying paybacks for all her villians. Watching Lust, Envy and Father get punished for all the torment they dished out over the show is absolutely delicious.
Also when Olivier Armstrong snuffed General Raven mob style. Don't EVER mess with that woman.
Thank you for posting this and reminding me how awesome this anime was!! One of the best!
I'm more amazed at how Kimbley managed to maintain his sense of self inside pride.
He’s just that much of a psycho. Feeding off the agony of the souls trapped inside Pride to keep his identity.
He was already insane, so really sitting in a vortex of screaming souls barely even phased him when he basically enjoyed his job in life.
Still love that the moment Al saw mustang, he popped up a wall. Kid knew was what about to go down.
Whenever a villain is about to go against Roy Mustang, the villain's VA: "Oh well, I better start practising my AAAAAAHHHHH! AAAAAAHHHHHHH! then"
1:12 It's one of my favorite things about this version of FMA that the author created a character that uses the lighter for Mustang to use in this scene
I love the subtle change in 5:29 from fear to sadness that Hawkeye‘s expression changes to.
Yeah, she realizes he's lost himself to vengeance. And she's going to have to do what she promised if he fell from the right path. God, I cried in this scene. I'd be dead because I couldn't take out the one I loved.
0:42 Then during the final battle, Greed practically dealt a fatal blow to Father as he stabbed him in the stomach. The stab itself wasn't fatal, but he turn himself into carbon from there while destroying Father from the inside. Great foreshadowing.
The animators fearing for their personal lives everytime a scene with Roy comes up:
I love armstrong and sig so damn much, the way they take out sloth is perfect
Thanks for this. I get to re-live my past life. One of the greatest moments of my life includes FMAB.
I love how lust aims for mustangs eyes, and tells him that she cant wait for his eyes to be full of agony, then mustang goes blind. Fma has one of the best writing teams out there, who know what theyre doing and i love it
Generally I prefer the original voice actors, but man, Lust English voice actress is just perfect! Absolutely love her.
Laura Bailey who plays Lust is married to Travis Willingham who plays Mustang. So while they don't record together when recording it does make the Lust and Roy fight funnier
@@dylanstalnaker3795 I heard after they recorded lust death scene Travis apologized to Laura
Greed in both series has and always will be my favorite of the 7 deadly sins. Cool as hell and bad ass as well 🔥🤩
"Talk about cheesy" right before he says that whole thing that had to be the most cheesy death immaginable
"Just dont blame me when I give you a stomache ache; you did it to yourself!"
Now THAT is foreshadowing, right there.
Lust's death was by far the most badass and most satisfying anime death ever.
0:40 god that is some brilliant foreshadowing
"If you think that, then you still don't understand edward elric"
Chills every damn time.
I love how Alphonse hears Roy Mustang's voice and immediately makes a wall to protect from the flames
Fun fact - all of the sins died ironically by either being uncharacteristic of their sin (wrath, sloth, greed, pride) or died from something that represents their sin (lust, envy, gluttony)
I grew up watching the original full metal alchemist so it had a special place in my heart, but damn this version is just leagues beyond
Both are good
I like how the villains picked Roy Mustang to be the fifth alchemist to see the truth because of how dangerous they considered him. Pride even admitted to him that "yeah you've been a real problem for us for the past year now."
Greed - died satisfying
Gluttony - died getting eaten
Lust - died to a womanizer
Sloth - died fighting to much
Envy - died by envying himself
Wrath - died calmly
Pride - died pathetically
pride survived
@@youtuber5669 more accurately was reborn
Not a womanizer, a man she couldn't tempt who was protecting the woman he loves.
The way mustang mercilessly and relentlessly killed lust and envy must be the most savage kills in anime history
I know it actually took a long and grueling fight that pushed everybody involved to their absolute limits, but I'm entirely willing to believe Armstrong and Sig showing up, posing, and throwing a punch would be enough to destroy a homunculus. The true power of muscles!
Mustang at the poetry slam giving snaps like "Oh... forgot to take the gloves off"
2:12 Mustang is easily a top 5 anime/manga character of all time. Dude is a G man
9:09 I feel like this scene is exactly like the one in the magical battle between Jogo and Sukuna during the fight.
Lust died on her knees getting backshots from a guy named mustang while saying its coming
I can’t stop laughing🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 and the English VA are married and I heard they laughed at the on your knees part lol
Am I the only one who kinda felt bad watching Envy's death, even if he WAS responsible for Hughes' death?
Part of me feels like he deserved it, but at the same time I kinda felt sorry for him 😢
I hope so
I dont feel that Way. I get that the Homonculi are supposed to have some Humanity in them. But Envy is just Trash because he is jealous of everything. He killed Hughes, a little Kid and a nearly a whole Country for killing this Girl. Something like him doesnt deserve Sympathy and i find it wrong that he gets reborn like the others. I mean how can Sho Tucker be the only one in Hell while all Homonculi get reborn? At least Envy doesnt deserve to be reborn. Everyone else yes.
Yes. That little shit tormented everyone the entire show and made a little girl grow up without her dad. He deserves everything he gets.
He's just slightly less evil than Shou Tucker. And that's saying something.
He deserved it but at the same time…
No you’re not the only one
The animation for Lust’s death is so awesome, a highlight for me in the series.
6:43 "How could you maintain your individuality among this *Tempest* of souls?!" Foreshadowing how he would later become a Slime named Rimuru Tempest!
Also, for some reason I like how his shadow is talking like an actual living shadow.
Lmfao this is cannon now
I deadass feel bad for Gluttony, he aint deserve to go out like that
My favorite unspoken commentary in FMA is that among a lineup of unthinkable, immortal, otherworldly evils with designs on godhood at the cost of countless lives, the truest monster among them -- who even death can't stop -- is the regular old human alchemist Solf J. Kimbley.
Lust killed by a man who called her ugly
Gluttony eaten
Sloth basically worked to death
Wrath killed by a man who let go of his anger.
Pride killed (reshaped) by somebody who had to reshape his own way of thinking after not being able to save a girl despite being proud of his alchemy
Envy finishes itself due to self pity
Greed gives up everything he has to save everything he ever wanted.
I love this story.
Damn, Greedling was my favourite thing in this show. Greed's death got me, but at least nothing happened to Ling...
I never fully realised the symbolism behind all their deaths when i first watched this anime but holy shit they gave every single one of them a perfectly fitting deck. Damn i miss this anime.
Mustang roasting that chick is so satisfying. Even after all these years.
Mustag is like "hey, if it works it works"
going from gluttony begging for his life to RESPECTABLE MUSCLES is such a toneshift and i love it
I mean major Armstrong and teachers husband (forgot his name) its just prime for muscle overload
Bro Roy is fucking insane he killed 2 of the homunculi and in the 2003 version had an insane fight with bradley 💀
Of all of them Wrath is my favorite,his voice,his looks all fight perfectly
This show has just as much foreshadowing as something like AOT. Lust tells mustang "I can't wait for the day to come where those eyes are wide with despair, it's coming... its coming." How does Mustang end the series? Blind. Retrospective rewatches tell you so much and is just so dm blataint its insane we didnt catch on more than we did. Doctor Marco tells edward and yhe subtitles are importan here in both japanese and english dubs because they are specifically capitalized. He says "well ed, maybe you can find the truth within Truth. Oh no, I've gone and said too much already.. " amd thats the end of the series. Marco in a way, knew the only way was to sacrifice your "power," so to say and he knew someone as smart and perceptive as Ed would figure that out. Eds alchemy door was one of the only "complete," doors we see. Thats because his knowledge has surpassed essentially everyone elses, but isnt it ironic the "smartest," character in the series had the only fully blank door? As smart as he was, he knew nothing about true alchemy. He uaed short curs and adversiona to gain his power. He had no real knowledge because he never needed it due to discarding his normal life to achieve perfection.
"All I know is that I know nothing"
- Socrates
*Colonel Mustang* definitely with THE BADASS KILLS! 10/10!
Why didn't Wrath turn into dust like the rest of the Homunculi? Is it because he's made from a human body and technically only have one soul, making him the most human of them all?
yeah pretty much
Yeah, the Stone was inside the body, not creating it like with the others.
I wouldn’t have been able to kill Lust because my thumb would have been bruised AF
First, you have to not pass out after cauterizing yourself.
The way Mustang killed Lust is probably one of the most brutal death in anime
Greed saying telling father “don’t blame me when I give you a stomach ache” is such a fitting choice of words
The muscle man handshake is something every man respects
Roy's destroying of Lust was the most savage of them all.
My favorites are probably Mustang going ham on Envy and Lust.
When Ed turned himself into a philosopher's stone, that was the funniest shit i've ever seen
I love how mustang is the only one who got multiple kills.
scenes where Mustang brutalizes them with flames were always in the top anime scenes for me. Just epic
11:26 Lan Fan be like: Aw, I was just starting to like him
The whole chanting in the back of 3:43 just feels so epic despite the ridiculous scene.
05:33 The most satisfying click
@5:32 the anger and hatred concentrated to this final flick is just heartbreaking
This was one of the best anime ever. Like hands down.
Awesome cut, but I feel the context leading up to Mustang incinerating Envy makes it much more worth it
