In the end, I guess there was equivalent exchange after all. She may have lost her fertility, but she still got to have two sons who she loved with all her heart.
I love how Izumi talks to Ed and Al. How she tells them that there's no need for them to act strong, when they're around her. Just like a mother would.
They wanted their mom back and got Izumi - who is like a mother for them. She wanted her stillborn baby to be alive and got the Elric brothers - who she loves like her own sons
The world always balanced itself, endless circle of energy. We don't always get what we want, but good things may happened to us without realizing it. I love this show so much.
Its not fair to say but shes probably the reason they wanted to try human transmutation even more. She trained them and showed them love that reminded them of their dead mother.
This is much better than the 2003 version. She's more tender here. She just hugs them and is like, "Don't act like you're fine. It's okay to cry in my arms right now." and that's a true mother.
Agreed. Typically, I like the way 2003 handles emotional elements, but Izumi's relationship with the brothers is... very odd in this episode (ep. 27). The way she immediately starts to beat them up while they don't even try to resist comes off less like instruction and more like abuse. Turning around and hugging them directly after doesn't make it feel any less awkward and unsettling. Izumi Curtis is incredibly tough and no-nonsense. What they did was wrong, and as their instructor, she needs to take action, regardless of the fact that she made the same mistake. Expelling them from her tutelage makes sense in such a scenario. Punching and kicking the snot out of them and then hugging them while Ed still has bruises all over his face does not.
this scene gets me every time, between Izumi hugging them, telling them they don't have to pretend to be strong, that they can be upset, and that that's okay (which is very important for people to hear imo) along with Ed and Al, asking for forgiveness, and apologizing profusely, finally letting themselves be vulnerable, especially Ed in this scene since he very much so feels guilty for everything that's happened to them, but he often tries to act strong and tough. Hell, ever since they did the human transmutation he blamed himself, in the english dub he screams "What have I done?!" instead of "we" when he realizes that Al is gone and what they brought back wasn't their mother. so seeing him be vulnerable with Izumi and ask her for forgiveness is just relieving to see for him while also just so sad to see these two feel so terrible for just wanting their mama back.
0:38-0:41 This transition was cinematic genius. It really ties how both master and discipline both fell prey to the desire or human transmutation and how they feel each other's pain on a supremely deep level. FMAB was too tier
Damnit! I thought I got off this damn train when I accidentally boarded with Nina and Alexander. I never even brought a permission slip for this feels trip! 😭😭😭
I tear up every single time - there’s an underlying message here Acting tough doesn’t make you mature or manly It’s knowing when you’ve reached rock bottom. It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to feel bad. It’s ok, to be mad. It’s ok It’s ok
I think it's safe to say that when you lose someone, you always end up with someone that takes on that role in your life. I remember when my grandma passed and it seemed like this lady, who had been very genuine, took on that role. Even though she can't quite replace my grandma, she also provided a comfort that reminded me of a grandma.
I remember that Ed once said he wont ever cry before he get Al's body back, because he can't cry as an armor. So I believe in this scene he still hold his tears😭 also he said 'sumimasen', which is as far as I know (with my crappy Japanese knowledge) is like the politest way to say I'm sorry.. I know that he usually polite in front of her, but I think it's because he really mourns for them😭😭😭
In front of Izumi, they have no need to act strong and try to be an adult. Here they are kids and they do what kids that've made a terrible mistakes do: cry and say sorry. This scene gets me every time...
Every time I see Izumi interact with the Elrics I keep thinking of a line from a surly old hunter: "Family don't end with blood." Yeah, she couldn't have any kids herself. But she still managed to have two boys.
It's poetic how a woman who was looking forward to being a mother in turn was the next closest mother figure to two boys who lost their mother. She knew them well enough to see through them trying to cover up their mistakes so she wouldn't blame herself for not giving the exact details of why it was taboo to attempt to revive the dead, instead of being harsh she let them grieve. And what do they do? They end up asking her to forgive them, still feeling guilty for abusing her trust as a mentor to do something that ended up hurting them. The tragedy they share has given them a bond no one could be able to relate, the regret yet understanding how much more fragile life can be, and to be aware to not abuse their power as alchemists. Turning their pain into lessons they will carry for the rest of their lives.
When I first saw Izumi years ago I could see the pain she had suffered and how strong she was given the memory and the trauma she carried with her. Even though she couldn't have children, I could always feel that motherly love and warmth she had for Edward and Al. And I absolutely LOVED her character. She was always one of my favorite characters hands down.
Original Version: Tells them what happened about losing her child and Hugs them. Brotherhood Version: Whoops their assess for transmuting their deceased mother and Hugs them. Both Versions are harsh yet very heart warming.😢
i wouldn't call fma the original because it doesn't follow the actual original storyline by the author, i would just call it the tv version- but yes, that's right lakslkjdw
What makes this even sadder to me that I never see anything about, is that Al can't feel a thing of this, outside of emotionally. Izumi pulls them both in for hugs, but Al doesn't have a body with feeling, he's just a soul tied to a suit of cold unfeeling metal armour.
Ed and Al were the children Izumi and Sig never got to have, whilst Izumi and Sig were their parents when Ed and Al lost theirs. Both pairs basically filled some kind of ‘parents-children’ void for each other
And this is why Izumi is a mom to them and curtis is father to them in his own way. Our children love us and trust us so much they hold it in and in your arms as there parents is where they should always feel safe and protected. Where they understand it's ok for me to break down and cry with you because they know you'll have there back.
I feel more emotional when I watch Brotherhood. Another reason I love the series. This moment here really gets me every time and I wouldn't want it any other way.
It hits so fucking hard because Izumi has kicked the shit out of both Ed and Al over shit that is trivial compared to what they did with Human Transmutation, but with the thing that is absolutely taboo, and something that is horrid, she understands that theres no need to berate, since Ed, Al and Izumi herself do just that for every day they live after performing it, so she just hugs them.
it rare to see ED show his true emotio to other people...al maybe know ed is person who always act tough all the times in order to make his brother feel easy...for make ED show his emotiom mean izumi really got true pure mother vibes that ed wanted to feel for long ago...
No matter how old I get or how far I am to my mom and step mom I dont have to act strong and I can show the same emotions that ed and al show to izumi and no matter how many time I watch this I tear up and I am 26 years old but both my dad and mom and step mom got that macho crap out of me and I share my frustrations and weaknesses with them and that what a parent does so thank God for fathers and mother as well as step moms
My ex and i went through two miscarriages and both times we blamed ourselves. I had to remain strong like izumis man.. But we still ended our relationship. I still cant cry about anything but this moment was really close to making it.
Gets me every time... The pain they all went through, and the horror at seeing their attempts fail... And yet, what they lost and tried to get back?? They have those things with each other. A family
I’ll be honest, this is what convinced me that Truth was objectively evil, perhaps moreso than Father. Izumi wasn’t trying to replace her child, she wasn’t trying to take someone else’s, hell she wasn’t even trying to turn back time to prevent her loss in the first place - y’know, something that was actually either malicious or damaging to fundamental structures of existence. She was a grieving mother trying to save her child from arguably the closest thing the natural world has to an evil aspect (if it’s voluntary that’s an entirely different matter, I’m referring here specifically to the entirely natural version as depicted here) and in exchange Truth tore out her capacity to have *any* children *ever again*. That inexcusable abomination delights in inflicting suffering on those desperate enough to beg it for help, and somehow the story treats it as the holder of the moral and ethical high ground. At least Father’s motivation was the pursuit of knowledge, only tainted by its inherent lack of capacity to impose personal limitations or appreciate the value of life due to *not being alive itself*. To all appearances Truth exists to sit with a metaphysical bucket of popcorn and giggle when the laws of physics result in a sapient being experiencing suffering, then apply a direct kick whenever they attempt to redress the imbalance that caused it.
we must find strength to get over our tragedy and grief,if it consumes us we'll end up harming ourselves the universe asks nothing from us but to live the lives it granted us with we may feel loss in time but we mustn't let it define what we are, we must endure for now cause we can feel better someday
I just realized that Al paid the ultimate price with his whole body but thanks to Ed, Al got his body back and can still do alchemy without a circle so he got the best deal out of everyone
Family isn’t just by blood, but by the bond that’s created. The Elrics couldn’t get their mother back, Izumi didn’t get her kid back, but they found each other. The equivalent exchange worked.
Did she not realize that she could have always tried again for another kid naturally? She had that option, the brothers couldn't just re-obtain a mother, but Izumi could have certainly conceived again. Shortsightedness cost her a womb.

@@trackboy17 that's some real facts, receiving a mother's warmth just makes you crave it even more.
Yeah, Sig best dad
This is one of the many wonders of being an adopted family. Its not blood that makes the family, its the sense of love and belonging.
This is much better than the 2003 version. She's more tender here. She just hugs them and is like, "Don't act like you're fine. It's okay to cry in my arms right now." and that's a true mother.

It’s a real scene in Brotherhood actually
Somewhere someon say that in manga

She can see right through their strong facade. No matter how tough they try to act, they are still only children who need love and compassion.

the thing that gets me is you know how much pain they are going through and her embrace allows them to let some out
I tear up every single time - there’s an underlying message here
Acting tough doesn’t make you mature or manly
It’s knowing when you’ve reached rock bottom.
It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to feel bad. It’s ok, to be mad.
It’s ok
It’s ok

I remember when my grandma passed and it seemed like this lady, who had been very genuine, took on that role. Even though she can't quite replace my grandma, she also provided a comfort that reminded me of a grandma.
Yeah, I guess my grandma's sister was somewhat for me until she died, 5 years later (though by then I had went from age 11 to almost 17)
I really need to rewatch this show, its so good.

I’ll be honest, this is what convinced me that Truth was objectively evil, perhaps moreso than Father.
Izumi wasn’t trying to replace her child, she wasn’t trying to take someone else’s, hell she wasn’t even trying to turn back time to prevent her loss in the first place - y’know, something that was actually either malicious or damaging to fundamental structures of existence.
She was a grieving mother trying to save her child from arguably the closest thing the natural world has to an evil aspect (if it’s voluntary that’s an entirely different matter, I’m referring here specifically to the entirely natural version as depicted here) and in exchange Truth tore out her capacity to have *any* children *ever again*.
That inexcusable abomination delights in inflicting suffering on those desperate enough to beg it for help, and somehow the story treats it as the holder of the moral and ethical high ground.
At least Father’s motivation was the pursuit of knowledge, only tainted by its inherent lack of capacity to impose personal limitations or appreciate the value of life due to *not being alive itself*. To all appearances Truth exists to sit with a metaphysical bucket of popcorn and giggle when the laws of physics result in a sapient being experiencing suffering, then apply a direct kick whenever they attempt to redress the imbalance that caused it.

This scene is what FMA 2003 should be.
She tried to bring her child back. But it didn’t work. It ended up causing her a serious Taboo.
Family isn’t just by blood, but by the bond that’s created. The Elrics couldn’t get their mother back, Izumi didn’t get her kid back, but they found each other. The equivalent exchange worked.
I swear Ed made Izumi and Cid godparents for his children
I watched this scene after watching Hues funeral scene and god damn it the dam broke
