    *Not to argue over the morality of it, but I'm pretty sure that the only way a philosopher's stone could be destroyed is if it all the souls are used up. Otherwise, those souls would be stuck inside that stone forever because it's a perfect material. So at least the last stone is being used to heal rather than destroy.

      Technically Dr. Marco could have destroyed them with the circle on his hand he used to destroy envy's stone but that feels more of a waste than to help those who are suffering (even if it wasn't the souls in the stones choice to be used in that way since of course you're assuming what they want)

    I think a point you guys forgot was that Mustang didn't volunteer to exchange his sight for knowledge. He was robbed of his sight. The stone is made and the deed is done. The power of the stone is being used to restore the robbed sight of the leader who is intent on restoring the nation whose souls were used to make that stone. Imo, it was a best use of an unfortunate situation. The stone will produce a good to the people who were harmed.

      @@claudiu6387 First of all, "Nazi" is an alternative name for the "Nationalsozialismus" or the National Socialist German Worker's Party. Since Mustang isn't part of this group, he literally cannot be a Nazi. Second of all, I think you meant to say that he's a fascist. None of his character development ever states that he supports giving up individual freedom for the good of the state (which, by the way, is the most common definition of fascism). Next, Mustang was a soldier, trained to obey orders without hesitation. He participated in the Genocide because if he didn't, he'd likely be court-martialed, then imprisoned or executed. Lastly, "healing the Ishvalans" makes no sense. You can't use a philosopher's stone to bring back a culture. But healing Mustang's eyes meant that he was able to carry out his duties and restore Ishval. So, in a sense, the stone WAS used to heal the Ishvalans. Therefore, I declare your point null and void.

So it would be against Military Rules for them to be in any sort of openly romantic relationship. Which is why the Author says she never had them openly admit their feelings. At best maybe when Mustang becomes Fuher she would step down and marry him and become the First Lady. Like General Grumman hints at when he says Mustang should marry his Granddaughter and make her the first lady and his Granddaughter is Hawkeye. Although I wouldn't be completely shocked if Hawkeye didn't step down and stayed on as his body guard. Unless Fuher are forced to marry if they are young enough. Which at that point doubt Mustang would accept marrying anyone who isn't Riza. Which might force her hand to retire from the military.

    Nowhere in the story it was said that using the stone is gonna continue the soul's torments. The soul sacrificed when Ed, Envy and Ling left Gluttony's stomach _thanked_ Ed for being sacrificed. The souls are energy and once gone, they're gone. You are destroying the stone when you use it, it's nothing different from destroying it some other way. They were not only using the stone for a good cause, they were allowing the souls to _fight_ the way Alphonse did against Pride. And Mustang didn't do nothing wrong to get his punishment. It's not anti-ethical at all.

    That philosopher's stone is a prison for those souls, there is not purpose on it remaining as a stone that later might be use as who knows what. Mustang is giving those souls a purpose to help their people and rebuild Isvhal.
    The Elrics didn't want to use a stone to fix their mistake, but Mustang didn't lose his sight by one of his, it was robbed from him. On top of that, he took the responsability of fixing a mistake from the all nation against Ishval.
    We saw a similar situation when Al used the stone to fight, those souls were grateful.

That's the beauty of reactions, rediscovering your favorite stories through the eyes of other people, and it's twice the pleasure with such a great crew! For me, FMAB is straight up my favorite story of all time, I even put it above Game Of Thrones, Harry Potter and so on (the only thing that tops it is the LOTR trilogy by Peter Jackson, but that's more for personal reasons than objective ones). Great characters, great stories, great themes, and great lessons ... Everything I aspire my future stories to be! (not sure I will ever reach it, but it's good to aim for the top :D).

I'm happy it was one of the first animes I watched and it remains my favourite story between all mediums, whether it be live movies, series, games, books and so forth, I think it's a masterpiece that checks out on so many things that makes a story great. It'd take an essay to probably break it down why, there's so many big to small things it gets right and continuously.
      I've had my interest in writing my own novels and stories, and FMAB is a big inspiration. Obviously it won't be like it, but there some things I felt FMAB did well that I think is important for a good story. There's one very important thing I feel FMAB made it stand out, and that is that it feels very tightly packed, with things going on all the time, bits of the story unveiled and new mysteries revealed, emotional rollercoasters, conflicts and triumphs coming and going constantly, and each character from side to background playing a role in setting up these scenes to make the world feel rich around the protagonists instead of focusing too much on them.

    Something to be said about using the stone... obviously we can't ask the ishvalans in Marcoh's stone, but the people from xerxes in Hohenheim _did_ agree to be used to save Amestris and fight Father... of course Hohenheim could and did ask, something which isn't possible with non-sentient stones... but if they agreed, it's also _possible,_ at least, that those sacrificed ishvalans would have agreed to help Mustang help their surviving brethren, too... and, the only other possibilities were to leave them trapped in the stone forever (or, rather, until someone with less scruples or knowledge got hold of it and used it for some other purpose), or have Marcoh destroy it (as he did with Envy's)... and we don't know what effect _that_ would have on the trapped souls...

    The end discussion about using the Ishvalan stone is probably similar to the one after WW2. Should the research done unethically just be burned or should it at least be used even if it was obtained in such a horrible manner?

      Exactly. If using up a stone somehow hurt the souls inside it, then it would've been wrong to kill the homunculus. A soul's existence in the Stones is described as a tempest of bitterness and torment (basically they're in hell).
      At WORST, using a Philosopher's stone is putting those trapped souls out of their misery. Outside of that, there's at least a chance those souls can rest in peace, and go to whatever afterlife there is in the FMA universe

Every character has their arc and by the end of it, you are in that weird state that you know you'll miss this show and you don't really want it to end, but at the same time it's so wholesome that you're perfectly content with the end anyway and don't even really want a prequel.

    Oh! A few things:
    -Mustang didn't have the stache in the manga, so it doesn't have to be considered canon in your minds.
    -The family portrait at the end is titled, "Elric Family Portrait" as an homage to the first with Ed, Al, Trisha and Hoenheim
    -In the manga, Paninya and Garfiel actually weren't in the picture, that's a nice anime only addition!
    -Since Mei and Xiao Mei are included in the family photo, it's implied she and Al actually do wind up together
    -The last photo of Ed smiling by the train is meant to directly reflect Hoenheim; given the trench coat and suitcase and their general appearances, only Ed is happy whereas Hoenheim was haunted by his "curse"!

    You can't destroy a philosophers stone without using it up. So basically if you don't use the stone the souls will continue to suffer.

Using the stone to give Mustang his eyesight back is the best thing for Marco to do with it.

What are they supposed to do with the stone? Put it on a shelf and let their souls that have already been made into a stone be in vain? Why not use it to heal. 3. No one is gonna want Mustang as Fuhrer if he's blind. If he wants to be Fuhrer then he needs to be a powerful leader as well as a healthy one.

    I AGREE WITH THE PERSON WITH THE LOUISE HAT. YES. Thank you! The stone's fate should have been decided by Ishvalans, not Dr. Marcoh or Roy or whomever from Amestris. They should have just given the stone back to Ishvalan people and the Ishvalans would decide what to do with it. I don't understand why that wasn't the logical option. There are Ishvalan people who have clearly been maimed and hurt by Amestris and the genocide, so why is Roy any more deserving than Ishvalan people? IMO it is actually offensive for him, someone who carried out genocide, to use a stone made up of relatives and community members of those he killed.

    I personally accept that Mustang used the stone for his eyesight because he didn't make the same mistake the Elric brothers did. They chose to commit the human transmutation, Mustang was forced to. His eyesight, his greatest weapon, was ripped away from him. The Doc created the stone from the souls of the Ishfalen(dunno how to spell it) and felt deeply horrid for it. He personally asked for Mustang to use his mistakes as a gift, to repay the souls he sacrificed by aiding Mustang to rebuild Ishfal.

The beginning of the series actually helps to flesh out the side characters more, and I think goes through the beginning parts really well.
