    Kimbely is interested by people's convictions. He likes to test them, and he has a major respect for people that are true to their ideals. Because of that, he gave the opposite option for Al, played the advocatus diavolii, he wanted to see Al's reaction, and if his convictions are just merely a coating that is based on air. For that, he has to see Al's reaction to the contra point to his goal. Being an idealist means nothing if you are not willing to sacrifice anything. When Al said "We can do both", it means he has the dream of archiving his goals while not going back to his convictions. The probe here, in my opinion, was to see if he was willing to sacrifice his goals for his convictions. That is, in my opinion, meant with "you might not archive either". Someone has to face the idea and needs an answer when it is the option between goals and conviction, and for Kimbely, only these that chose convictions are worthy.

      doubt.. butt just my opinion and dont take this personal as i disagree heavily with you on this simple idea of "respect"
      kimbely simple CANT UNDERSTAND it.. because his brain is not devolveoped "right"
      he "lacks" or rather has extremely inadequat levels of empathy.. empathy is KEY in human evolution... its why we humans without having to experience can still understand and relate to others via understanding emotions and etc...
      kimbley simply cant understand something they themselves do no feel...
      him trying to understand is not "respect"
      as a former anti theist and i know tons of atheists when thru an anti theist phase where in that time we really learnt to understand what the bible said.. YET we mocked and talked to theists like they were stupid.. despite the fact we gave "respect" to consider ever point down to every last detail of what they believed and wanted to explain to use..
      consider this.. kimbley talking to roy and riza in the flash back of the war..
      MOST PEOPLE join the militar for BENEFITS and IMPROVEMENT it brings to their lives and oppertunity and character building.. vast majority DO NOT JOIN TO GO TO WAR OR BE SENT OFF.. kimbley absoltuely did not understand or grasp this.. and simple resorted to a BAD ARGUMENT of "well u joined knowing u could go so stop crying"
      its as stupid as if u got in car and then an accident and kimbley tells u to stop crying cause u "signed" up for it..
      consenting to drive is NOT consent to an accident.. its consent to a RISK of an accident..
      same with most soldiers today.. consenting to join the military isnt really consent to be sent off.. its consent to the RISK to be sent off.. as vast majority literally "refuse" mentailly to go butt again its the law and they kinda have "no choice"
      intelligence is "SUBJECT" in vast majority of peoples minds..
      science seems to have a different understanding of intelligence.
      IQ has been disprove by science as a means of intelligence.. most people still actually go by iq and iq tests and compare and look at iqs.. even insult using commets like "u got low iq"
      people ignore EQ which is way larger and broader then iq and eq actually has far better and provible measures that can be gauged..
      nilishts like to think of themselves as smart and smarter then most.. they even often confuse Friedrich Nietcxh as a nililhist . ... often always point to him as and example in their arugments..
      reality is nietzche HATED NILISHITS.. he was an ATHIEST.. i find athiests to generally be the more "intelligent" people in a vast array of subjects and issues WHILE compeletly capible of empathy and understanding emotions and relating to people..
      id rather sit in a room full of anti theists who i find cancer then a room with a few nilishists.. id blow my own damn brains out on god xD
      Scientific Nilism their views and understanding of knowledge scientific knowlege are distincly negative
      they are BAD FOR SCIENCE... they are NOT INTELLIGENT.. they are cancer...
      talking to a nilist i find even worse then talking to a thiest whos an extremist..
      and sadly vast majority of thiests actually attribute nilism TOO ATHIESTS.. i know there are tons of athiest probably in this chat too that know what im mean...
      u can be an athiest and a nilist.. they are NOT the same... most athiests are NOT nilists cause most in studies and survey are usually pro science and believe and accept EVOLUTION
      as humans are highy SOCIAL MAMMALS DEPENDENT ON EACH OTHER FOR SURVIVAL.. emotional connections and empath are CRUCIAL FOR HUMAN SURVIVAL..
      kimbley is simple a person who spews forth bad arguments that most people dont catch as bad arguments.. we all tell and push narratives springled "truths" or "facts" to make the lie and dishonest info sound reasonible..
      most skeptics would shut down kimbley over and over... and upload videos of it on the athiest and skeptic side of youtube. xD
      kimbley is a well written character.. butt he has NO respect for reality... nor human nature... if he was "intelligent" he would understand he lacks the very crucial thing that is the solel reason he was born.. again empathy and emotional connections in mammals that are highly dependent on these things.. so he should realize something is WRONG with him.. not us.. our brains are working properly his isnt.. and he talks down to ed an al and everyone lese like "we are the problem" he points to examples of bad things that happen.. thats anecdotal evidence.. yet ignores how if all humans were like him.. there would be nothing of value created in terms of well being for humanity ..
      id rather live in extreme relitard world then a nilist one... espeically if they where pscyo or socio paths...
      the point of kimbleys comment of "you might not achieve that either" ends converstation
      is simply like with thiests of the exteme nature "u might still go to hell" ends converstation
      it seem they always go right back to the start of the converstation with NO PROGRESS MADE..
      the entire convo was POINTLESS.. actions speak louder then words.. everything that was said was immediately discarded for his nilistic views...
      there was NO RESPECT.. 😂
      also being an idealist and not scarificing isnt bad.. we live in a world where HUMANS WORK TOGETEHR so people AND PICK UP AND HELP OTHERS in areas where they lack at.. so imagine all the idealogies and inventors and etc who had said ideas butt SOMEBODY ELSE CAME ALONG AND SET THAT SHIP SAILING... again ed and al and the rest grasp this.. humans grow by HELPING EACH OTHER. . where u suck at someone might thrive at.. so together we grow cause u thrive where they suck at..
      u have people who are great at putting things down on paper butt ass putting it into practice. yet people who cant put a letter on paper butt pop off putting things into pratice...
      then u have people who can do both some who cant do either and all the other mix mash of degrees of it...
      conclusion.. kimbley is a STUPID person overall... with bad arguments that only make sense if u dont see how they are flawed..
      its not about what u believe by WHY U BELIEVE IT... he has mental disorders to go with his bad reasons/arguments
      in short there are people who are psychopaths and etc.. who find kimbley as a person who gives them themselves a bad reputation...
      respect is like love..
      an abusive husband LOVES HIS WIFE.. it just his idea of LOVE is not LOVE in the way the rest of us understand it...
      parents who beat their kid OUT OF LOVE because they BELIEVE ITS GOOD FOR THEM...respect and love and etc are SUBJECTIVE to each person.. so i agree kimbley RESPECTS them.. yet in the majority social usage of respect. . he doesnt..

      @@InanisNihil A counter point for what you said is quite a spoiler, because of which I didn't put it in my top comment, but you will see it after a safety gap (for everyone who hasn't finished the show, stop here):
      I might agree with you weren't it for the last time we see Kimbley in the show, when he appears in Pride's mind and prevents him from fighting back against Edward. Kimbley only started to act when he saw the ideology of Pride crack at the idea of death of himself, and that he rather betrayed his ideal of homunculus superiority by taking over the body of a human instead of staying true to his ideals and die as the form he considers himself superior. Edward on the other side stays true to his beliefs, doesn't compromise even at the most dangerous situations.
      I agree that Kimbley is a sociopath, and he doesn't differentiate right from wrong. That said, he is also not power hungry. He has a lust for death, but at the same time, he showed time and time again admiration to people he perceived to stick to their ideals.
      Respect does not equal love. It can equal love, but you can respect your enemy for something they have done that you consider of value, either because they were intelligent, wise, or even showed heart in a situation that you value. You cannot love without respect, but you can have respect without love. And while I don't think Kimbley is capable of love, he is capable of respect, if the one thing he values, ideological consistency and strength, is displayed.

      so all u did was now actually include a spoiler for no reason cause it doesnt change a thing i said about kimbley.. xb
      also understand what i said bit better..
      i know its lots of typing so it happens..
      but at no point did i say respect = loves..
      i made a COMPARISON..
      as in respect just like LOVE and even honor and etc.. is highly RELATIVE TO EACH INDIVIDUAL and RESPECT means different things to people.. example i do not find it respectful for example even if u geniunely believe it and actually believe it true to teach as TRUTH that say noahs flood or jews being in eygpt is true... because its NOT TRUE period.. and what it actually DOES despite the point of the story is simply to teach "trust in god" and etc.. what it does is DEVALUES REALITY OF EYGPTATIONS AND THEIR CULTURE OF ACTUALLY BUILDING IT THEMSELVES and it leads to believer dishonestly believing "gods ppl built it all"
      so there is "RESPECT" in believer in that yet its also highly disprectful to eypthian and believers cause they are believing a lie.. so the people teachign htat in a way dont have respect for their own students intelligence..
      im sorry butt u might if ur a believer see respect there.. i see nothing butt disrepect as one is true one is false.. if it didnt happen then its a lie and its dishonest and in what universe does anyone find it respectful to be lied too..? nobody.. unless they believe it true thus respect it cause they BELIEVE IT TRUE...
      again love is a COMPARISON.. u can compare apples to organges u know.. thats literally how u tell the difference between any and everything.. by COMPARING...
      love is highly subjective and u literally can simply google "what is love" nearly everyone has different interperatations of it.. though for generalization purposes we simply attribute the MOST COMMON notions of love to "what love is"
      same with "rights/freedom" its MADE UP and only works if enough people believe it and up hold it... while at the same time people with different understanding freeddom/rights might take away or give more of those things for GOOD OR WORSE...
      thats the purpose of amendments.. so we can improve upon it with better understanding of things over time...
      same with HONOR.. even "loyality"
      loyality often is the major reason why abuse s victims DONT LEAVE their abuser.. often abuser is the only one thats THERE FOR THEM though in a twisted way.. and abuser knows this and takes advantage of this loyality..
      everything is COMPLEX. nothing is ever that simple.. reality isnt black and white.. consider the word "friend"
      in german culture it takes YEARS before a german calls another person a friend..
      in america . people become "friends" in weeks even days at times.. u can see the issue with a culture where FRIENDS are made so "easy" and "fast" why theres this common drama of fake friends and distrust.. cause the VALUE for these words are so damn dimished and over used.. its like the dollar menu.. its cheap.. lmao
      reality is.. these small things are massive .. small things are everyday and they add up and with all the other small things..
      i dont throw words like friend.. truth.. honor.. trust.. etc around casually.. obviously dont delete ur comment to undo that spolier YOU GAVE.. just edit it out.. im totally aware of it and i still dont agree.. butt edit it out so castsenpai wont see it...
      fyi.. im not saying ur wrong or right with how u think of "respect" im just saying kimbley reminds me of religious arugments where they "pretend" to get what ursaying yet the next words our their mouths or actions literally show they clearly dont understand... i find that disrespectful.. thats what im saying.

    The one thing I feel the anime misses out with Kimbely compared to the manga is that it conveys he actually respects Ed and Al more then you realize better, like when he was talking Winry's parents a few episodes ago and how he was being entirely genuine, like Ed and Al he respects people who walk the harder path in life ie the Rockbells. He isn't really being pointlessly Nihilistic or belittling them he seriously wants to know why they go so far. Of course because of his clear unhinged nature it hard to tell he's being serious so I don't blame you for not catching that I seen the show numerous times so it easier to see for me.

    Kimbly is an interesting character, I dont think he's being demeaning to al at all. He actually respects the brothers a lot and tries to understand them. Kimbly is prone to being human in that he does have his personal biases and beliefs. He is a blood-lusted individual who has a twisted phyche, and although he enjoyed it he went through war. He views the brothers as naieve becasue he, as well as many others in the series, but is interested in the path Ed and Al on. He said in a previous episode that the reason he is on the "bad" side is because he is interested to see how things will play out between man and homonculus, and chooses the side where he can act most freely, almost a chaotic neutral, which sheds some light into his want to understand both sides (like his convo with pride last epsiode, and convo with Al this episode) becasue at the end of the day he is a scientist with a curious mind. This just turned into an analysis in Kimberly lol

    I disagree with how you think Kimblee is. He isn't writing Al off or even being entirely nihilistic. He treats Al as a free thinker and asked after his motives and perceptions, and listened to them thoroughly. Rather than a nihilistic response, I think he told Al that not getting their bodies back and not saving everyone was an option as a reminder. Because everything Al had said up to that point was "why does it have to be one or the other, why cant it be both", so Kimblee simply had to point out that Al wasn't taking into consideration that "neither" is also on the board.

    In regards to what Kimbley is saying I don't think they are being Nihilistic about Al's ideals, and neither are they being Fatalistic towards it.
    I think its more close with Hegel's thesis antithesis synthesis where in when a new idea is born, so does natural opposition to that idea and that opposition births another opposition, so on and so forth.
    The reason I think that is because Kimbley does not make it a point to say that their struggle is meaningless but just presents a counter point following the same logic that Al presents and I feel he has deep respect towards the brothers which is why it piques his curiosity. At least that is my take on it

    Usually I’m not a fan of fight centric episodes, but just as you were saying in the begining of the video, the pairings of these specific fights are almost poetic.
    Al with all his humanity and compassion, fighting the most heartless cold blooded killers in the series and winning because not only because of his wit, but also because of the people he can rely on. Him refusing to fall for Kimblee’s bullshit and reafirming that he will always have hope and look for a way to make the world a better place. Also Al fighting without holding back, being creative and outsmarting Kimblee and Pride is awsome.
    Alex and Olivier holding back Sloth, Alex holding his ground no matter what shows how much he has grown since Ishval. And Olivier gaining the trust of the Central soldiers solely on the fact that she is a leader wortg fighting alongside.

    Olivier often talks about the importance of being strong, but when she unironically calls her sparklingly muscular brother weak, I think it's clear that what she means is the fortitude to think for yourself and independently act according to your principles, like at 19:50. It's simple, yes, but it truly can require immense strength to see that through, and her role as leader is to cultivate that strength in others, to make them independent from her. Very much in contrast to, say, Wrath's style of leadership, where obedience (even from the shallow minded or clearly incompetent) is paramount, and without him, they're lost.

    I don't think Kimbly was being nihilistic when he was debating with Alphonse. I think he was just making a valid counterpoint that by holding to their ideals they are taking a risk. He actually respects them for staying true to their principles because at his core he values personal principles above All Else, but part of that is not ignoring any of the factors that go into those decisions. He's not trying to diminish alphonse's viewpoint he's just saying that if Alphonse is going to try to do what he says he also has to accept the risk that he could end up losing everything. By not prioritizing getting his body back he could still fail to save everybody and have failed his original goal as well. Part of it was to distract Alphonse but I do believe that Kimbly was legitimately arguing in good faith with him and wanted him to accept the risks that were attached to his idealistic decision. It was a battle of ideology just as much as alchemy but I don't think Kimbly was on the side of nihilism I think in this instant he was just arguing pragmatism against idealism, and it's kind of an assumption but I think he was happy with Al's decision

      This might be a valid take if at any point Alphonse acted naïvely, but he wasn’t. At no point did Al pretend like failure wasn’t possible. Alphonse was being idealistic sure, but did not at all imply failure wasn’t an option. No matter how I look at it, Kimblee was just being pessimistic and nothing he said actually changed anything or mattered. Those words could not even pass as ideals.

      @@CastSenpai not really he hasn't been following the elric Brothers story like the viewers have. So in front of him is a young boy who is risking failing his ultimate goal in order to try to accomplish everything. So Kimbly is putting those ideals to the test. Especially since Alphonse is revealing a potential crack in his own idealism by using the philosopher stone even though he rejected using it to restore his own body. Kimbly likes it when people stand by their convictions so whenever Al appeared to potentially backtrack Kimbly had to pressure him and Alphonse past the test. There's a line from the manga that I don't think made it in the show where Kimbly is talking about winry's parents. Despite the fact that he was going to kill them if scar hadn't he says he respects them because they continued trying to save people until the very end. Doctors are supposed to heal people soldiers are supposed to kill people, some of the nuance didn't translate into the anime as well as it should but at his core Kimbly respects principle above All Else, hey an ironically respects people who stand by their ideals.

    Actually both country have their own medical branch of alchemy/alkahestry - but alkahestry are more suitable as it is more specialized in healing.

    After Pride ate Gluttony he mentioned his new sense of smell and nagging hunger. So he did at least inherit some things. Though considering Father made Gluttony especially for the False Gate, I don't think Pride would be able to inherit that particular ability within his very different body.

In the beginning area when Ed had gone to the ruins of xerxes he and Fu both mention fables about a man with golden hair and eyes coming from the desert and the one that went to xing is clearly hohenheim and that's why their alchemy isn't corrupted unlike amestris's alchemy which was created by father

    15:40 if they have a Stone they don’t need any Alkahestry knowledge to heal wounds. They healed Kimblee with a Stone when he arrived at Northern Command with a major stab wound, and Ed healed his own mortal injury by using his own soul as a Stone on a micro level. You need some level of knowledge of human anatomy to be able to make the repairs *correctly*, but the Stone will provide the necessary energy/material

    Kimblee is not being nihilistic . It's just he didn't know about Alphonse and Edward as much as you do. Because you are watching journey of brothers for long time and watching the strength they potray in holding their ideals . Also all we see kimblee doing is antagonistic things manipulating destroying so you are biased and not really giving full thought to what he is saying. From kimblee's perspective Al is just a kid who is being too idealstic and taking lot of risk. Especially given his interaction with Ed last time that's what he saw Ed almost got brutalized by Kimblee simply because he is being stupidly idealistic and not really evaluating assessing the risk . Forget about the fact that Ed was wounded brutally in that encounters. Kimblee just blow up the whole mineshaft there are briggs soldiers in that area there's miles there are Chimeras what would happen if one of them died there wouldn't ed be responsible for that? Ed was simply being naively idealistic put everything and everyone at risk. Because he's a protagonist and we like his motives and actions doesn't mean there's other side to it. I absolutely adore the strength and grit Ed showed there but also I'm absolutely aware of the fact that he's the one put everything and everyone at risk. By being too naively idealistic they are putting everything and everyone they want to protect at risk. That's what kimblee is pointing out he's simply asking are fully aware of the choices you are making are you aware of stakes fully. It's one thing about being idealistic and holding true to them. Its another thing what choices you are making and what are consequences of those choice. Since brotherhood is shounen it glossed over the fact Ed put every soldiers life there in risk. I understand he's really ready to embrace his ideas and put his life on the risk but what right does he have to put everyone at risk simply because his ideals are telling a choice is wrong. Kimblee is just being realistic there not nihilistic. Again even if al and Ed are fully aware of choices and risk doesn't change the fact they are not really taking responsibility for all the consequences their actions might have. Since brotherhood is shounen it conveniently glosses over this negative aspect of their ideals. 2003 fma actually explores this aspect really well
