If you think about it, Ed and Al are the last humans other than their dad to have Xerxien blood. That’s why they have gold hair and eyes instead of the blue eyes most amestriens have.
Yeah they basically the last alive Xerxienses in a world.So in a way they have much more rights even than Scar to desire revenge at those who wants to create a philosopher stone.....
Fun fact, the first character all the viewers see when they start the show is the character who was at the source of everything, Van Hohenheim. He was the very first character shown in the first intro, but it was his younger self. So for first time viewers, it just looks like a more mature Ed with his limbs restored and with his ponytail not in a braid.
Best reveal of all time no doubt. Found out so much. How Xerxes was completely wiped out in a day (they kept mentioning it over and over and since they mentioned it I was wondering), finding out that essentially Hohenheim is the father of Eastern Xingese Alkahestry and Father is the creator of Western Amestrian alchemy, how Father and Hohenheim look alike and have immortality, that they both have so many souls inside them. Ahh just too damn good.
I love watching your reactions to this show but your enthusiasm for this episode was something else!! Keep it up 👍 And the fact that you went into the episode asking for the exact same things that the episode delivered shows just how amazingly in-tune you are with the show!
The looks on your faces are gold!! Finally, we can talk about this major plot point. Hohenheim was forced into his immortality and had to watch all the people he knew die before him. If it was me, I would go insane! I'd say the Xerxes event happened a few hundreds years ago. Both Ed and Ling visited the ruins on separated occasions too. Lastly, I hate to be that guy, but you missed the end credit scene. But it's not that important anyways: Ed unknowingly makes ironic remarks about the philosopher's stones.
Falman talks about that a few episodes ago (episode 35 if I remember well). Amestris was founded around 1550 with the Rivier incident. I don't know how many time it took for father to think about his plan before setting it into motion, but I doubt Xerxes fell before 1500. That makes roughly four centuries for Hohenheim.
Another thing you gotta know is.... The Golden man/being that taught the alchemy to country Xing or the Eastern alchemy they call it was taught by none other than Van Hohenheim
"Fun" fact about the Father before the grave and the family portrait episode: This is one reason Hoenheim was so direct with Ed about how he ran away from the human transmutation. After what happened in Xerxes, all Hoenheim wanted to do was run far away from Xerxes, and put everything that happened out of his mind. And he did that until he started researching what exactly was done to him in an effort to undo it so he could age and die with his wife. And when he did that, he realized what Father had actually done, and that he was doing it again with Amestris. Had he bothered to understand what happened earlier, he could've prevented multiple genocides, and he wouldn't have had to abandon his family to try the much more difficult task of preventing it now. So when he saw Ed was doing the same thing he did, it was important to him that Ed didn't make his same mistake any more than he already had.
It shows what happened to gluttony in a post credit scene that you probably skipped or missed in an earlier episode. If you havent seen it by now you should go watch it so you're not in the dark about it later on.
Ok first hear me out, I heard this is related to some kind of video game or something, I don’t really know. So, do I need to know about the game first or should I go and watch blindly
I think the lore of alchemy was better explained with the original fullmetal series. Brotherhood was probably made with the assumption that the viewers already saw the original series.

FYI: young Hohenheim was voiced by the original Al in FMA 2003 all grown up
They switched Voice Actors? Kinda sad. In German Dub when we finaly got a dub for Brotherhood they got basicly all of the original 2003 cast.
yeah, that's the problem with casting actual children going through puberty.
I love Mustang and Hawkeye’s relationship, just so much mutual respect and they’re both super good at what they do
Same, I ship them

Theme of the show:
“Yo that was the best episode”
The first shot of the first opening was already lining up this bombshell episode. Everyone always assumes its Ed they're showing.......
Best reveal of all time no doubt. Found out so much.

was always curious if Father had less souls due to creating the homunculus..
AoT 3x20 too. I rank both episodes as the best reveal ever
@@Luismayer77
Yeah the basement reveal is up there for sure.
The Episode That Day gotta be the best reveal ever.

it was 400 years ago right before the creation of Amestris
Falman talks about that a few episodes ago (episode 35 if I remember well). Amestris was founded around 1550 with the Rivier incident. I don't know how many time it took for father to think about his plan before setting it into motion, but I doubt Xerxes fell before 1500. That makes roughly four centuries for Hohenheim.
Hohenheim left his family because he figured out Father's plan and is trying o stop him
You need to rewatch the family portrait scene to understand the reason why Hoenheim left
There was an after credits of Ed talking about thr size of a Philosopher's Stone
Another thing you gotta know is.... The Golden man/being that taught the alchemy to country Xing or the Eastern alchemy they call it was taught by none other than Van Hohenheim
Best lore drop episode fr
Now you both get why people love Hohenheim so much.
FMA answers your questions soon after you ask them, and in a way you never saw coming.
It's one of the reasons I love this show.

RIP Xerxes
This is like 3x20/21 in AOT. Connects everything
there is a post credit scene in this EPISODE!
Yes, they will react to it on next ep 😆 gomen ne! 😅
Man just toasted Xerxes overnight
Rewatch ep 27, 36, and this one.
It’s not a spolier to say that we already know from what Envy said to Marcoh that Father’s goal isn’t to create a philosopher stone.
Hohenheim's reason for leaving is on ep 36...
My fav episode of the show
İ don't watch your Alchemist reactions just wanted to check on Shayne to see if he is ok from the previous reaction :D
Loved to see him smile :)))
We know Hohenheim is immortal because if anyone else took a full force punch to the head from Sig Curtis, you would just be deceased immediately.
It shows what happened to gluttony in a post credit scene that you probably skipped or missed in an earlier episode. If you havent seen it by now you should go watch it so you're not in the dark about it later on.
Bois I'm just waiting for the last 10 episodes, watch the views go up, I'll be on it quick
Nice reaction👍✨✨
Did you guys miss the after credits?
Yes, this ep is amazing
Is the next episode out? There's a 41st in the playlist but doesn't seem like it's up.
If you guys can fit Arcane into your schedule, I highly recommend watching it 👌
I m hearing that a lot. Is that really good? I mean is it worth my time ?
@@layaksingh1238 Yeah it's really very good. The first two episodes might be considered slow but after that it gets intense.
@@layaksingh1238 yep really good, the dhow doesn't puck up exponentially until ep 3, but after that it's all just amazing.
Ok first hear me out, I heard this is related to some kind of video game or something, I don’t really know. So, do I need to know about the game first or should I go and watch blindly
@@layaksingh1238 you don't need to know anything at all. Enjoy the show

Damn no reaction to the ED :/
