And that’s all the Homunculi Dead: Lust died at the hands of a man with a reputation as a womanizer but was actually saving the woman he loved but can never physically be with Gluttony was eaten Envy committed suicide out of humiliation after realizing his deep jealousy of humans Sloth died overexerting himself Wrath died with a sense of peace Pride was destroyed after attempting to escape into the body of the very thing he looked down upon, throwing away his pride Greed sacrificed himself for the one thing he’s always wanted the most, friends
Kazi Aranya Technically he is. Pride was the shadowy being using the artificial Selim Bradley body as a vessel. That’s shadow is gone and all that’s left is the vessel reborn
And the one who wanted to eat god, absorve it, and hold it inside him, was eaten and absorved by himself (what remember us the "im all, im one, im god and im you")
@@tuesdaythegamist I'm not so sure about that. I think Guts would probably try to kill him cuz he's not taking any more chances with any thing else that has a red stone.
DarkestBlackone I can see guts thinking greed is an apostle Decapitating him and coming back to life and greed putting on his full armor until actual demon pop-up and they both have to fight and then they have that beer PS a philosopher stone look like jewel while Griffith necklace look like a monstrous abomination of a fetus that need to be curb stomp to death
“That’s the right answer” basically means that Ed finally found “the truth” it’s so beautiful that at the beginning of the series Ed thinks he can fix a lot with Alchemy and worked hard to gain knowledge, and in the first chapter he even said alchemists are comparable to gods but in the end he states that he is just a human, alchemy doesn’t change that fact, and the most important thing in life is “not alchemy”, it’s your humanity and connections, we saw that through Ed sacrificing his alchemy for his brother, obtaining the truth Such a brilliant message delivered by the greatest force in the show, God/Truth
God was so proud of Edward that he smiled wider than he ever had. One of the first times his own creation willingly threw away the gift of knowledge, of alchemy, for his own human connections. To go back to the roots of what makes Ed a human, and God had witnessed it with his own unseen eyes. Hell, he might even be crying with pride if he had the visible ability to do so. Pride for someone younger than you failing over and over, getting back up every time, then confronting you and becoming exactly who you hoped they would be.
Hohenheim is legitimately one of my favorite characters of all time. Seeing him go is always a tear jerker- this story was as much his as it was Ed and Al’s. It’s been a real journey, Imon and Abi! So glad you’ve enjoyed it this much. Only one more to go!
15:02 The truth DID recognize that Roy didnt open the portal willingly. Thats why instead of taking his eyes like it did to everyone who opened the portal, it only took his ability to see. A price, but not a full one.
It was not always body parts. In Ed’s case the ability to put one foot in front of the other was his thing (you see that more in FMA2006) and Roy’s case he was a person with vision (as he told Hughes) so he lost his vision. Poetic more the anatomical.
@@leodouskyron5671 That was just Father's interpretation. Remember that Father didn't even recognize Truth when he finally met the being, instead thinking his own gate was Truth.
Truth is based around a more middle eastern and eastern concept of god. In those cultures, god is a more neutral being. It offers punishment and rewards based on actions performed. Mustang went through the portal, he opened the doors, forced or otherwise, he got his eyesight taken. Which can be easily brought back with alchemy if you know how human anatomy works, they just convert one of the less used tissues into retina. If he opened it of his own accord, his entire eyes would've been gone. Since selim forced it, selim's container was also slowly being destroyed. The concept of god in eastern and middle eastern culture is not as black and white as it is in the west. So think of the Truth in FMAB as something like that. A mostly neutral being, kind of a trickster and just rewards and punishes based on actions performed. That is all there is to it
It seems to have been inspired by greek philosophy as well. Truth is the one universally recognized aspect of god in Philosophy, as wisdom should lead you to the truth. Most of the great philosophers believe in attaining truth as the ultimate good, but they also focus on being virtuous in this pursuit. The dwarf in the flask is a perfect example of the wrong way to go about seeking wisdom and truth.
I love Ed exchanging his portal of truth: 1) because this is subtly foreshadowed because the door of truth appears behind whoever visits the area, symbolising that it is theirs 2) the reason there is a 'back door' for Ed to use is because Al is there in body and soul, complete with his own door of truth 3) what is the intrinsic "value" of things being traded in equivalent exchange? it turns out that the true value in something is the value we attribute to it ourselves; Ed idolized alchemy as being the answer to all his problems, so it was one of the things most important to him, and to Truth it was worth the value of a whole life, because that's how much Ed valued it before his realization 4) this is technically something Ed could have done all along from the beginning of their journey, but he was convinced that alchemy was the answer and so kept trying to find way to get their bodies back without sacrificing something, but only through the journey and learning the true value of human life could he understand that the power he valued so much meant nothing by comparison
Well i wouldnt say he could do this human transmutation at any point but essentially the only thing he needed to do was to change his perspective. That and the fact that performing human transmutation on oneself isnt something he thought to do from the beginning.
Truth punished ed and al for entering the domain of "GOD" by trying to bring their mom back. At the end when ed said that "He has always been a lowly human" which means they can't play and enter the domain of god. Which father failed by trying to obtain god. That was probably the whole conversation and parallels between ed, father and truth.
Abi's "catch me" made me laugh so hard. As always you put every feeling out there and I can't be more thankful for it. Hohenheim died with a smile on his face and for what he went through it was a happy ending. You guys are awesome!
this episode doesn't exactly make you feel fulfilled or triumphant, it's alright that you feel kinda melancholy or unsatisfied, but it will stick in your mind, and that's a good thing.
Ow ye. I like a bit the blind alchemist one. And absolutely love other 3. The funny one about little things, the REALLY funny one about Izumi Curtis(i bet you that the writer of the show thought of her as herself) and the really funny and sobbering one bout Mustang. Good they are.
“Really, we’re playing that one.” Well the truth, if even believed, would likely destroy the nation. The nation was built on idealistic image of its leader, not the man that he was. ‘Tis best to keep the image to protect the people.
Yep. I love how Arakawa included realistic but often ignored stuff like the battle of public opinion or the way the coup d'état could socially destabilize the country. The lie was probably for the best, Mustang or Armstrong could not gather any evidence of the homonculi since they disappear into dust when they die. If they had said the truth people could have not believed them and rebel, or there would have been a huge crisis of confidence of the people to their elite (just imagine feeling being born in a country made with the only aim to sacrifice you and all your fellows).
I love how god is just chilling there, waiting for humans to get off their high horse and stop thinking that they are all-powerful. This is why the last scene between god, or the truth, and Edward is so amazing. The truth honestly sounds fucking happy that someone finally got it.
Imagine watching it all the time and once in god knows how long someone finally gets it. I will admit that its actually my favorite scene of the whole show.
In a way it is a happy ending for Hohenheim. Instead of outlasting his family and having to experience heartbreak again, his life ends on probably the happiest he'd ever been since he met Trisha. Edward finally acknowledged him as a father, and didn't want to sacrifice him to bring back Al because he did actually care about him. And in the end he can get to be with Trisha in the world beyond, which is one of the key reasons why he wanted to end his immortality. He's just a little wistful that he couldn't get to see his sons grow into young men with families of their own.
Si lo piensan el humunculos (father) nació de la sangre de Hohenheim cuando era esclavo y lo único que busco es ser libre de todo, incluso de la verdad; siguiendo el deseo de el esclavo 23.
Father sought freedom and knowledge, but in the end he is forever trapped and knows nothing more than he did when he was in the flask. I really love the line where Truth tells him that his punishment is for the boastful and those who would seek to supplant God; pretty much turning his own words he said to Ed, Mustang, and Izumi against him. Edit: They covered up Bradley's death because if it was known he was part of Father's plot, there would be an uprising to overthrow the military and Amestris would fall apart and likely be invaded by it's neighbors.
I've seen Truth/God in FMA Brotherhood in a kind of balancer/humbler role. Normal achamay can use exchange from physical materials, but acts like human transmutation both attempting to play 'god' and no material can equal a human sole (except another soul or a person's gate of truth). Remember how Truth punishement's had an ironic twist to those whom preformed the acts. Al lost his body, Rory lost his sight when he wanted to be the Fruther, Izumi lost the ability to have childern, etc). Father attempted to become god from false view of superiority while subconciously rejecting his true wishes (Remember how he said whatever Greed desire he wanted it first and his true want was simply human friendship/connections? That applies to all of them in both what they most wanted in existance and hated about humanity) I think he realized it for a second when Truth threw back his words on the price of arrogance-but still refused to admit it while calling to Truth to give him the right choice. In contrast, Ed realized that no much how power he had he was still simply a human connected to them around him and gave up his Gate-that which repesented everything that made him 'superior' to people like Whitny. And so Truth allowed him to take back its equal value, Al's body or humanity
I think the being in the dimension of truth is the embodiment of everyone's personal quest for the meaning in life, because of the way in how Edward won was just by, well, setting out to live life like everyone else, no alchemy, schemes or cheats just life as it should be with all of its bad things and all of its good things.
Someone said that all the sins died in ways opposite to their creation. Only remember Lust and Greed at this moment. But those two really stuck with me.
Lust: Dies to a man who has a reputation for being a lady killer in order to protect the one woman in his life that he held romantic affection for but could not touch. Gluttony: Is callously devoured by one of his brethren for no real reason other than the fact that they considered him a hindrance. Envy: Their jealousy of humans is exposed by one of the most empathetic members of the cast who has good reason to be jealous of others, yet refuses to sacrifice anybody in order to regain what they have lost. Sloth: Fought by the most bombastic characters of the cast, all of which made the choice to continue striving forward and refusing to wallow in stagnation. Wrath: Dies at the hands of a man once consumed and blinded with rage, but has now made his peace with his past and his desire for revenge. Pride: His attempt to escape to another body is prevented by a man that tells no lies about what he is, and never pretends to be anything more than that. Greed: Sacrifices himself, giving up everything he has including his very soul, in order to save the one thing he had always desired - true friends.
Besides the bloopers another FMA thing you guys could do a reaction to would be the FMA Koma theater. There funny sketches of major scenes in the series and in one episode Roy Mustang raps that is all.
God, this gets me every time. One is all, and all is one. Father saw "God" as an object to be acquired. This "truth is separate from the self" philosophy led him to divide himself further, seeking to reflect his own image of God. In doing so, he actually destroyed his "truth" because, as we get it right from the source: "I am one, I am all, and I am you." Father sought to "comprehend"/contain God, and neglected to comprehend himself. He wanted to be the One to encompass All. His pathetic nature is revealed in the simple fact that it never occurred to him that "truth" was within him already. Instead of becoming one whole being, he cut away at himself until he was nothing at all. Ed, on the other hand, never accepting an objective, impossible truth, found *his* truth. And, in understanding himself, and the connections he shared, and his place in the world, he understood the whole world. One is all, and all is one. Become one, and you become all. Understand yourself, understand the world. God, I love this show.
I don't think you are meant to like or dislike Truth. It's just one of those neutral characters that just is, like God. It embodies a more passive and observant role of events, albeit plays a more active role in this story. I was fascinated by the character and neither liked or disliked it.
I agree. I see it like the whole self of each people : the parts we like and the ones we dislike, the conscious and the inconscious ones, etc ... and the link we have between our self and the whole universe around. Somehow Truth is at the same time our self, our place within the universe and our meaning of life. And if Truth tells you that you have won, that only mean that you are at peace with you and the world (which I find far more interesting than to win anything, imo).
Fun fact: in the manga, before Ed bursts a hole in Father to release God from him, because of Greed's alteration of his body, Father had lost the same arm and leg as Ed. Not sure why they didn't translate that to the anime, since that's such a cool little detail. And as cool as the fight against Father's dumb bad plan is, the way Ed overcomes The Truth is so good, because how else do you defeat something that impossible? Just one more to go. Time to see everyone's fate and the great ending that everybody alive gets.
@@Darshe0 Well he did overcome it in the sense that one of the lines they didn't include in the reaction was The Truth literally saying "Well done, you beat me!"
What's crazy to me is My Hero Academia, Haikyu, and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are all ending or have ended now for y'all. Sure Haikyu comes back in a few months and MHA for future seasons, but man, that's a lot of videos done. Congrats? Ha, I don't know. But yeah, FMA is in my top five of manga's. I love, love, love the story.
Y'all definitely have to watch the bloopers for this it's very funny too. But this episode really hit home for me since I lost my dad years ago and I lost my mom last year so I know how Ed and Al feel but I'm glad y'all watched this awesome anime series. Please check out the bloopers y'all. Awesome reaction gorgeous ladies. ❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏾
the one who wanted to eat god, absorve it, and hold it inside him, was eaten and absorved by himself (what remember us the "im all, im one, im god and im you"), i watched this show like 15 times since i was Young and i always cry in this episode, its not a happy ending tho, if we think in everything that happens with the whole world
This show has made me grow so much, and it kinda make part of my religion, it really made me start studying and finally belive that we actually have a "personal" god and it is part of us and its our truth
The big question is what the portal actually is... it’s never really explained... but it’s more than just alchemy. It might actually be a great sacrifice for Ed to have traded it away... the portal of truth held al’s soul, and gave punishment to the dwarf in the flask. Truth is also known as god/the universe, so by getting rid of his connection might mean that he’s thrown away any afterlife he may have had. We’ve not seen it, but it is possible that the portal might give positive rewards as well as negative punishments. So by lowering himself to a lowly human he cast aside his connection to the all and the one. His soul may be damned to oblivion.
Damn Right The Fuhrer King Bradley dies a hero!! lol here is one of many breakdowns of the symbolism in the deaths of the Homunculi the-artifice.com/fullmetal-alchemist-brotherhood-homunculi/
God in this show seems to have been inspired by Greek philosophy. Truth is the one universally recognized aspect of god in Philosophy, as wisdom should lead you to the truth. Most of the great philosophers believe in attaining truth as the ultimate good, but they also focus on being virtuous in this pursuit. The 4 Cardinal Virtues; Courage, Temperance, Wisdom and Justice were made by Socrates. The dwarf in the flask is a perfect example of the wrong way to go about seeking wisdom and truth.
Truth is the kind of god that is fair to all and wile he has that smidge if wish to see humans do better, he will not stay his hand when punishment should be dealt. In DnD terms, he is true neutral.
The God The One The world, there is a very good fans explanation which is base of the idea "The God made everyone in god's image", so there is the whole name calling speech also the fact that "The god" keep changing into different shape. When Ed and Al in the truth room, the god is in a teen human form while father is in it, "the god" turns into the ball shape like father, so in fact the truth the god is everything and you thats what i think is one of the better explanation .
And that’s all the Homunculi Dead:
Lust died at the hands of a man with a reputation as a womanizer but was actually saving the woman he loved but can never physically be with
Gluttony was eaten
Envy committed suicide out of humiliation after realizing his deep jealousy of humans
Sloth died overexerting himself
Wrath died with a sense of peace
Pride was destroyed after attempting to escape into the body of the very thing he looked down upon, throwing away his pride
Greed sacrificed himself for the one thing he’s always wanted the most, friends
Pride isn't dead.
Kazi Aranya Technically he is. Pride was the shadowy being using the artificial Selim Bradley body as a vessel. That’s shadow is gone and all that’s left is the vessel reborn
Hmm, yes I guess if you put it that way. But later on, they discuss how they are keeping an eye on new Selim because he still has Pride inside of him.
Wow, superb writing 👌
And the one who wanted to eat god, absorve it, and hold it inside him, was eaten and absorved by himself (what remember us the "im all, im one, im god and im you")
Greed: one of the best anti heroes in anime history
That Guy I can see Greed having a beer with Guts
@@tuesdaythegamist I'm not so sure about that. I think Guts would probably try to kill him cuz he's not taking any more chances with any thing else that has a red stone.
DarkestBlackone I can see guts thinking greed is an apostle Decapitating him and coming back to life and greed putting on his full armor until actual demon pop-up and they both have to fight and then they have that beer
PS a philosopher stone look like jewel while Griffith necklace look like a monstrous abomination of a fetus that need to be curb stomp to death
And one hell of a good boy dammit
I'd say that title belongs to zuko, but ppl dont consider Avatar to be anime
“That’s the right answer” basically means that Ed finally found “the truth” it’s so beautiful that at the beginning of the series Ed thinks he can fix a lot with Alchemy and worked hard to gain knowledge, and in the first chapter he even said alchemists are comparable to gods but in the end he states that he is just a human, alchemy doesn’t change that fact, and the most important thing in life is “not alchemy”, it’s your humanity and connections, we saw that through Ed sacrificing his alchemy for his brother, obtaining the truth

10:59 “Shut up you rotten father!”
Translation: I don’t want to lose you too Dad
BLOOPERS after this, they are very good and funny , like the comment so they can see this
Episode 64 after this
I mean after the series is done ofc
Yep, the bloopers are a must lol
They have too!!!! They'll love every part
I’ve rewatched this show like 5 times now and never seen the bloopers. Where can I watch them???
Hoenheim in front of the grave is one of the most consistent tear jerkers I know

Aaaaah so close to the end! To the _bloopers!_
Truth is based around a more middle eastern and eastern concept of god. In those cultures, god is a more neutral being. It offers punishment and rewards based on actions performed.

What? No lmao. Middle eastern culture is mainly influenced by islam, which is similar to christianity.
"Believe it or not, now I actually want to keep on living"
I am a grown man and yet that line always does me in.
Me and the boys watching this scene out of nostalgia when we'll be in our 80s, still crying
I love Ed exchanging his portal of truth:
1) because this is subtly foreshadowed because the door of truth appears behind whoever visits the area, symbolising that it is theirs
2) the reason there is a 'back door' for Ed to use is because Al is there in body and soul, complete with his own door of truth
3) what is the intrinsic "value" of things being traded in equivalent exchange? it turns out that the true value in something is the value we attribute to it ourselves; Ed idolized alchemy as being the answer to all his problems, so it was one of the things most important to him, and to Truth it was worth the value of a whole life, because that's how much Ed valued it before his realization

The final page of the Manga, shows an extra page of Hohenheim meeting Trisha in the afterlife, watching over their two sons with pride. 🙂😭
Truth punished ed and al for entering the domain of "GOD" by trying to bring their mom back. At the end when ed said that "He has always been a lowly human" which means they can't play and enter the domain of god. Which father failed by trying to obtain god.

I always say I'm not gonna cry this time.
I fail miserably every time.
father's door is completely blank. he never learned beyond his days in the flask
this episode doesn't exactly make you feel fulfilled or triumphant, it's alright that you feel kinda melancholy or unsatisfied, but it will stick in your mind, and that's a good thing.
My god I love this anime, it's been a year since I finished it
Please consider watching the OVAs for FMAB (they're essentially miniature episodes of FMAB) as well as the Bloopers and the 4-koma theatre for FMAB.
Ow ye. I like a bit the blind alchemist one. And absolutely love other 3. The funny one about little things, the REALLY funny one about Izumi Curtis(i bet you that the writer of the show thought of her as herself) and the really funny and sobbering one bout Mustang. Good they are.
19:47 man that was the only lie from Greed..and that was to save ling 😭😭..I f##king love Greed character
"Oh this is a happy ending, and they can be with their dad too." You sweet summer children
Omg next is the last episode! The episode that made me cry with the last montage AAAA
you mean this episode didn't?

Someone said that all the sins died in ways opposite to their creation. Only remember Lust and Greed at this moment. But those two really stuck with me.
Lust: Dies to a man who has a reputation for being a lady killer in order to protect the one woman in his life that he held romantic affection for but could not touch.
Gluttony: Is callously devoured by one of his brethren for no real reason other than the fact that they considered him a hindrance.
Envy: Their jealousy of humans is exposed by one of the most empathetic members of the cast who has good reason to be jealous of others, yet refuses to sacrifice anybody in order to regain what they have lost.
Sloth: Fought by the most bombastic characters of the cast, all of which made the choice to continue striving forward and refusing to wallow in stagnation.
Wrath: Dies at the hands of a man once consumed and blinded with rage, but has now made his peace with his past and his desire for revenge.
Pride: His attempt to escape to another body is prevented by a man that tells no lies about what he is, and never pretends to be anything more than that.
Greed: Sacrifices himself, giving up everything he has including his very soul, in order to save the one thing he had always desired - true friends.

Can't wait for the finale next week. Probably the best conclusion to an anime I've ever seen.

One is all, and all is one.

Father sought to "comprehend"/contain God, and neglected to comprehend himself. He wanted to be the One to encompass All. His pathetic nature is revealed in the simple fact that it never occurred to him that "truth" was within him already. Instead of becoming one whole being, he cut away at himself until he was nothing at all.
Ed, on the other hand, never accepting an objective, impossible truth, found *his* truth. And, in understanding himself, and the connections he shared, and his place in the world, he understood the whole world.
One is all, and all is one. Become one, and you become all. Understand yourself, understand the world.
God, I love this show.
I hope you watched end credits for the last episode
up
Greed = Father
Father wanted friends
Notice the parallel of the dwarf to Lucifer
All that flax y’all gave Hohenheim lol. Gave the best parenting answer and had a proper send off followed by the theme song
LAST EPISODE IS EPISODE 64
I don't think you are meant to like or dislike Truth. It's just one of those neutral characters that just is, like God. It embodies a more passive and observant role of events, albeit plays a more active role in this story. I was fascinated by the character and neither liked or disliked it.
I agree. I see it like the whole self of each people : the parts we like and the ones we dislike, the conscious and the inconscious ones, etc ... and the link we have between our self and the whole universe around. Somehow Truth is at the same time our self, our place within the universe and our meaning of life. And if Truth tells you that you have won, that only mean that you are at peace with you and the world (which I find far more interesting than to win anything, imo).
Gotta got up the FMA:B bloopers after the last episode!
So basically the moral of the story is that its alright to indulge in the 7 sins just as long as you don't put it above humans
Fun fact: in the manga, before Ed bursts a hole in Father to release God from him, because of Greed's alteration of his body, Father had lost the same arm and leg as Ed. Not sure why they didn't translate that to the anime, since that's such a cool little detail.
And as cool as the fight against Father's dumb bad plan is, the way Ed overcomes The Truth is so good, because how else do you defeat something that impossible?
Just one more to go. Time to see everyone's fate and the great ending that everybody alive gets.
He didn’t “overcome” the truth, he found it
@@Darshe0 Well he did overcome it in the sense that one of the lines they didn't include in the reaction was The Truth literally saying "Well done, you beat me!"
You guys should read the manga page where Hohenheim meets Trisha in heaven. It's a small comedic panel but still touching
Mustangs eyes were always looking forward he couldn't see what's in front of him
Are there any Patreons here that knows they reacted to the bloopers or not?
What's crazy to me is My Hero Academia, Haikyu, and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are all ending or have ended now for y'all. Sure Haikyu comes back in a few months and MHA for future seasons, but man, that's a lot of videos done. Congrats? Ha, I don't know.
But yeah, FMA is in my top five of manga's. I love, love, love the story.
Y'all definitely have to watch the bloopers for this it's very funny too. But this episode really hit home for me since I lost my dad years ago and I lost my mom last year so I know how Ed and Al feel but I'm glad y'all watched this awesome anime series. Please check out the bloopers y'all. Awesome reaction gorgeous ladies. ❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏾
the one who wanted to eat god, absorve it, and hold it inside him, was eaten and absorved by himself (what remember us the "im all, im one, im god and im you"), i watched this show like 15 times since i was Young and i always cry in this episode, its not a happy ending tho, if we think in everything that happens with the whole world
This show has made me grow so much, and it kinda make part of my religion, it really made me start studying and finally belive that we actually have a "personal" god and it is part of us and its our truth
Hope you guys know there is 1 more episode with after credits. Just making sure because you kept calling this the ending.
The big question is what the portal actually is... it’s never really explained... but it’s more than just alchemy. It might actually be a great sacrifice for Ed to have traded it away... the portal of truth held al’s soul, and gave punishment to the dwarf in the flask. Truth is also known as god/the universe, so by getting rid of his connection might mean that he’s thrown away any afterlife he may have had. We’ve not seen it, but it is possible that the portal might give positive rewards as well as negative punishments. So by lowering himself to a lowly human he cast aside his connection to the all and the one. His soul may be damned to oblivion.
Its still one episode left isn’t it?
Arnold Schwarzenegger was her Father. The movie was called "Commando"
Damn Right The Fuhrer King Bradley dies a hero!! lol
here is one of many breakdowns of the symbolism in the deaths of the Homunculi

you did not watch the after credits???
Who's the boss/Tony Danza.
What's wrong with Imon on this reaction, she seems pissed or mad
God in this show seems to have been inspired by Greek philosophy. Truth is the one universally recognized aspect of god in Philosophy, as wisdom should lead you to the truth. Most of the great philosophers believe in attaining truth as the ultimate good, but they also focus on being virtuous in this pursuit. The 4 Cardinal Virtues; Courage, Temperance, Wisdom and Justice were made by Socrates. The dwarf in the flask is a perfect example of the wrong way to go about seeking wisdom and truth.
4 Koma Theater and Bloopers !!
🤣🤣🤣 I’m weak asffff
YALL NEED TO WATCH AFTER CREDITS
Truth is the kind of god that is fair to all and wile he has that smidge if wish to see humans do better, he will not stay his hand when punishment should be dealt. In DnD terms, he is true neutral.
how you gonna talk over greed saying thank you and goodbye
Please tell me someone has made a Bobby meme for this girls lol
Who's the boss, tony danza
Dont forget bloopers
Please watch the 03 version.
"IT IS SO UNFAIR TO BE BLIND"
Blind people:......................
Be honest.. This is the best show of all time.
The God The One The world, there is a very good fans explanation which is base of the idea "The God made everyone in god's image", so there is the whole name calling speech also the fact that "The god" keep changing into different shape. When Ed and Al in the truth room, the god is in a teen human form while father is in it, "the god" turns into the ball shape like father, so in fact the truth the god is everything and you thats what i think is one of the better explanation .
Yall not releasing the last episode either tf
What are you talking about?? These videos are once a week
Truth is awesome. The true God as depicted in the old testament. Doesn't give a shit. What ever happens happens.
Still have one ep to go 1 x 64
hhmm could someone have eaten greed at that point?
Good afternoon
Inyuyasha please
Girls if you not watch prison school pleaseeeee watch this anime is so funny😂🙏
Why you guys don't watch Naruto, Bleach or Death Note????
They have a naruto poster so I assume they've seen it already. Besides that it's too long for it to be on their schedule anyway, same for Bleach
They are begging to pop out.....
WHO’S THE BOSS
Hi. I really like your reactions. Please make a reaction to Youjo Senki (Saga of Tanya the Evil), Violet Evergarden or Kaguya-sama Love is War.
The answer is, humble yourself before God.
React SAO Season 1,2 anda 3
WATCH EPISODE 64 PLEASE!!!!!!! HAPPY ENDING
After full metal alchemist ends could you begin re:zero please
They already have 2 replacements for shows that they recently finished.
1 is Vinland Saga but they haven't mentioned the 2nd show yet
RHS_mkz I wouldn’t mind Vinland saga :) they would probably love to see thorfin and his rivalry
Their dad died a day later. They could have used his stone and ed coulda kept his super powers. Mans a deadbeat
I cant believe you guys aren't watching this in Japanese.
I can't believe you'd want them too.
You want the feels, you get it watching in Japanese.
like seriously you people didn't watch seven deadly sins yet ????
