He lost his brother to alchemy so he had to give his alchemy to get his brother back, a poetical equal exchange

[@LuisSierra42]

Yeah, but also Ed's arc is the opposite of Father. Father wanted all knowledge just like Ed did at the beginning of the story but at the end that was Father's downfall and letting go of it was Ed's salvation

[@tonberrygaming3267]

can izumi do the same and get her organs back? how come mustang do the same to heal his eyes (before marcoh came)?

[@sonnatine]

@@tonberrygaming3267 the only one able to do such an exchange was ed since his and al's portals were connected... everyone else only has one portal therefore there's only one way in and out

[@wadiyarabhijeet]

I think the ignorance of getting back deceased mother back through alchemy cost both boys alot . In the end Al learned to trust his brother with life (somewhere within him he felt as if his human body existence was a lie , or they couldn't bring his body back ) and for Ed he learns that alchemy was not able to fix all life disasters/situations the one important reason he started learning alchemy . In the end both boys realise this truth and did take appropriate choice to get Al's body back.

[@refurbishedtechpriest9076]

Never really thought of it that way before, but that's rather spot-on.

[@darthcarnage12]

Lust dies satisfied. Gluttony gets eaten. Envy commits suicide at the reveal that he's jealous. Sloth dies after giving his all in a long, hard fight. Wrath dies at peace. Pride lives on in a way, but with his own pride cast aside and being dependent on others. Greed sacrifices himself for others, feeling he has everything he could ever want.

not all of them are amazing. all of them are good but the middle is nowhere near as good at the last 10ish.

[@dudu-fo7hz]

Also, cant ignore that, good message aside, Ed and Al are dumb as fuck😂 They know what losing this war means. And yet they still refuse to use the philosopher stone. People already died to make it, and there is no way to bring them back, and more can come if the bad guys win. And yet they refuse the biggest advantage they have. Even worst when you think that in a way the souls are still there and suffering, so you let them go to waste instead of using it to avoid more people to suffer that fate. I love the anime with all my heart, easily one of my favorites, but cant help but see this in a logical way.😂

[@MysteriMustacheToast]

Seeing Truth happily concede to Ed as they admit to their defeat is one of my favorite moments of the show. It made it feel like they’d been secretly rooting for him the whole time. The last scene with Truth and father can be summed up pretty well with this quote by A. Giloni: "Without factual truth you cannot have moral clarity. Without moral clarity you will never have factual truth.” Notice how Truth didn’t respond when father asked “what’s wrong with craving knowledge?”. And that’s because there *isn’t* anything wrong with wanting to pursue truth and perfection. It’s a natural desire most living things have. However it’s the way you pursue your truth that determines your character and what you actually learn/obtain in the end. Father tried to take the shortcut because of his hubris and was humbled by the truth; dragged back into the portal just as ignorant as he was the first day he came to existence. Ironically he achieves his wish at the price of the one thing he valued the most. The dwarf’s story also reminds me of Icarus and his wings of wax.

[@Kashi_Mochibean]

Oh wow. That's amazing. Somehow this never fully registered to me until reading your comment. Thank you. The dwarf said "I think I could be happy if I could just leave this flask". And the portal of truth is the fount of all knowledge, and where he was dragged back to at the end. So he actually achieved what he was after at the cost of what really mattered. Dang. Of course the dwarf acted wrongly to get out of the flask to begin with, so it wouldn't necessarily be right for me to say things would be fine if he were just satisfied by that. But it does make me wonder if maybe there was possibly a more moral method that could be used for such a creature to find freedom.

[@notanotaku1101]

That joy is so uplifting. You can genuinely believe this is God, or the setting equivalent, truly overjoyed that one of the little idiots that made it here FINALLY learned the lesson.

[@MysteriMustacheToast]

@@Kashi_Mochibean thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed reading it :) In response to your thoughts, I think the path he should have taken was exactly as Truth suggested. Instead of casting out all of the deadly sins and simply trying to avoid them, he should’ve learned to do what all humans do; set aside his hubris and humble himself enough to be willing to put himself through all of the major and minor inconveniences that naturally come with having each of the 7 deadly sins. The right thing to do would have been trying to further himself through that instead of obsessing over this grand delusion of surpassing what he perceives to be God, through deceit and acts of violence. He was basically a textbook narcissist. Indulged his id like a selfish ass while showing zilch signs of even remotely having a functioning superego. It’s just a little sad though because even if it was the cause of all his mistakes, his original dream was blameless and pretty understandable. Born from a Hohenheim when he was still a slave, naturally what he wanted the most was freedom. It’s unfortunate that he became incredibly misguided and came to believe that omniscience/omnipotence would somehow give it to him.

[@benjamintherogue2421]

"your truth" There is no personal truth. There is only The Truth.

[@MysteriMustacheToast]

@@benjamintherogue2421 yes, in the show as a character, there is only one ‘Truth’. But in real life not really and that’s very visually well represented in fmab as well. Why do you think ‘Truth’ always takes on the shape of the silhouette of whoever is facing it? Truth is different for everyone and that’s pretty cut and dry lol not even a takeaway lesson of the show just real life logic. The existence of objective truths is still very much debated in the field of philosophy today.

[@julietaespinoza767]

We need a compilation of Ange's "Fullmetal Alchemist" AND a compilation of all the theories he got wrong 🤣🤣🤣

[@Kashi_Mochibean]

Yes. That would be great. Though to be fair to him, it should include a counter of all his "half points" like here where Hohenheim nearly did sacrifice himself for Al's body.

[@Misterasianweeman]

i love the detail that the fathers door of truth is blank because he never learnt anything and always took from or sacrificed others. in contrast you can see things etched onto ed and al's doors of truth

[@loftypenalty91]

Yeah Ed's door was different each time he saw the truth because he was constantly learning new things throughout the series but Father's door didn't change because despite all the people he sacrificed he didn't learn anything.

[@doubleasworkshop1692]

If you would like a more in depth explanation on the Alex and Hohenheim conversation. It started with Hohenheim relating with Father, how none of them got to fulfill their dreams. Then as to counteract that notion, Alex comes in exclaiming how grateful he is that Hohenheim decided to start a family with Trisha and had two sons. Because if it wasn't for Ed and Al a huge bunch of these events would have gone unnoticed. Ed and Al were the primary catalyst for the entire main cast looking into the corrupt system they were in. That is when Hohenheim realized that even if he had to make the hard choice and leave his family(for obvious good reasons), Trisha helped him fulfill his dreams. His family is great, his family is thriving, his family is doing wonderful things, he had sons that would go on to great things with or without Alchemy. Hohenheim in the end, achieved his dreams thanks to Trisha. Unlike Father. This entire story is so well written

[@zibus8456]

No shame, Ange! You followed to show to the clear conclusion it wanted you to. I think most of us had the same thought at some point. The show is just written well enough to not give you what you expect (Ho's sacrifice) or what you dread (Ed's sacrifice) but something better (Ed's solution).

[@Metal-Spark]

I absolutely love Hoenheim's character, I always shed a tear or two at his final speech. The idea that he spent so long being unwillingly immortal, searching for death, living a hollow, meaningless life - and it was Trisha and his sons that gave his life any sense of purpose, that made it a life worth living. It's such a simple but beautiful message that really hits home because of just how long Hoenheim has lived for. I think that's a huge running theme in this show, life is about the bonds we make with each other. You can hoard money, power, knowledge, live unnaturally long, but it's all empty without other people.

[@izukukageyama7552]

Ange: "I'm an embarrassment" Carlie: "...yeah" 😆

[@lewstherintelamon244]

As always, one of the greatest joys of watching someone experience FMA for the first time is seeing how their feelings towards Hohenheim change over time. What many people don't know however, is that this isn't where his story ends. In the manga there's a scene of him reuniting with Trisha in the afterlife. It's a shame that it was never adapted to the anime, but I understand that with only one episode left they wanted to focus on tying up loose ends more than anything else.

[@Bdavis2475]

Wow I need to go read that

[@issacgs17]

I really like your reaction. I've watched a lot of these reactions and no one ever gets how selfish Hoeinheim's request is. Asking a child to sacrifice their parent (which completely goes against the child's wishes of not making other people pay for their mistakes) just to feel better about his choice to not be in their life (which was totally necessary not faulting him for that) is incredibly selfish. He realizes that while he is talking to him and backs down. Fantastic writing and a truly amazing and tragic character from start to finish. Thanks for the reaction.

He's probably the best written anime character I've ever seen. He's just so *human* , so real, just a bit more loud about his greed than we are, but almost everyone can relate to greed. At least I could, so his death was soul crushing

[@TheMajinHermit]

Fun fact about what you said in regards to father never learning anything. The writing on the door in the portal or truth represents everything a person has learned, Fathers door is blank because he never learned anything.

I really like the visual tie back to when Ed first opened the portal. When he was young and arrogant, he smirked, placed his hands on the portal and pleaded with Truth to show him again. But here they show the same shot of him placing his hands on the portal with a much more enlightened state of mind as he gives it up.

The series may follow the brothers.... but Hohemheim was the actual hero of the story ... tragic past, self-sacrificed his time with his wife and sons to save hem and stop the homunculus, set up the counter offensive over time, and protected them during the final fight.... He was Amazing

[@loka7783]

I feel it is important to mention that Greed sacrificed himself to save Ling and BEFORE he saw everyone's reaction. That is the definition of selflessness. He was rewarded afterward by getting to see he had friends (that he wasn't paying or in his gang) before he died.

[@refurbishedtechpriest9076]

[@ChrisMorray]

This is how you do an ending: The threat was dealt with halfway through the episode already. The show can end here and be fine. But that wasn't the plan: The writer wanted to tell a complete story. So we got all this already, and then we get a full episode tying up loose ends and giving glimpses at the future for the main cast. That's how you end an anime: You take your victory lap.

[@okami7dreco786]

"What did I do wrong?! What should I have done?!" "You simply must have seen it with your own eyes" As many others in the comments are pointing out, all the Sins died in ways counter to their name. On other reactions to this episode I've seen people point out that Truth's comment above may suggest that if Father had seen the world as his children did in their various ends, seen it with his own eyes, he may have grown as a person.

[@mjbull5156]

In episode 40, Hohenheim and Homunculus have a conversation where Homunculus disparages Hohenheim's desire to have a family, not understanding human need to have connections to other people. His flawed thinking had been foreshadowed from even we were told what he was.

Oh! By any chance, are you guys going to watch the FMA OVAs? Iirc, there are four of them. There’s one on a side story with Ed and Al, one about Roy and Hughes, one all about Izumi (I bet Angie is going to love that one 😂), and one on Riza and Winry.

[@0Defensor0]

Now that the story is complete, I think you should watch all of the openings again, to see all the foreshadowing/spoilers they did, that you didn't understand back then!

[@brycet93]

Ed’s Door: Sephirothic Tree of Life, representing how he had studied how to transmute human life and souls, via both transmuting his mother and brother. Al’s Door: stylized take on George Ripley’s text called “The Marrow or Alchemy”, which conveys that Al was more focused on the transmuting of the body for their mother when they performed the transmutation. It’s why his whole body was taken, a body for a body, versus Edward losing a limb for each time he transmuted a soul, first into the body Al made and then into the armor. Mustang’s Door: a design of the flame alchemy that was tattooed on Hawkeye’s back. Father’s Door: blank, because to our knowledge, he had never opened the portal or door of truth, never sought to learn anything of alchemy, just blindly trying to get power and control. He never really was after knowledge, he was after energy and power to use for himself. Like a small endless black void/hole.

[@brycet93]

This has been such a journey. I’ve loved every second of it. Thank you again for how much effort and passion you put into these reactions and that you appreciate the original work, respect the work, and really convey the feelings and passions that all of us fans have had for years.

It's actually funny how Ange is now so consistently wrong that his predictions are a spoiler. Whatever he predicts absolutely won't happen. I don't know if you both remember this, but in the first maybe 15 episodes, you guys were so good with predictions that people in the comments (I thought this too) that you'd maybe watched the show before. You were making predictions that were accurate 20+ episodes before they actually paid off. Your predictions were more like prophecies, really surprised me on some of them. What the hell happened to Ange :D

Damn man, this one hurts 💀

[@EastCoastGamerX]

About the dwarf in the flask. I notice one thing. He stayed in the shadows, stayed alone and to himself, yet wanted to gain the knowledge that only living a life as a human would gain him. He wanted all the results of the experience while just sitting in his throne. Also even though he separated his sins He was still greedy, he was still wrathful, still prideful, he just didn't understand anything did he.

Ed had some type of interaction, conversation, conflict and even gave philosophical monologues and analysis regarding pretty much 6/7 of the sins. I can't help but think it is actually a bit intentionally contrived by the author that Lust is the first to go way long before any of the others so that she has the least interaction with the main protagonist. It actually comes off as an unnatural or incomplete plot point that the writer was trying to specifically avoid that.

If you guys ever see this comment I suggest you guys give 2003 full metal alchemist a chance, story is a bit different and I think you’ll appreciate it

[@DoctorWortspieler]

"What was I supposed to do?!" When you look back through the series, you realize how asinine the Homunculus is for asking this question, for he had been provided the many times throughout the series. Back in Xerxes, Hohenheim said that humans live through the bonds we make with each other, and in their more recent altercations, Hohenheim called Homunculus out on his human-like qualities, and how flawed it was to look down on humans. And finally, Truth here straight up told Homunculus that he was nothing more than a cunning thief who refused to acknowledge his human origins. Considering how Father's defeat was accomplished because of the bonds the "lowly" humans formed with each other, Truth's last line to him is the perfect reply to such a question: "You must have seen the answer with your own eyes." Homunculus may have claimed to have desired knowledge, but he disregarded it if it clashed with his own biases... which is also a very human thing to do.

[@blueshell4859]

I'm convinced the opening song they use for the ending of this episode is Hohenheim's theme. If you look up the lyrics it's actually a very sad song about someone who has lost a loved one, and is constantly asking "How long will this rain last?"

[@darthroden]

What made the Dwarf/Father's fate so terrible was the fact he will never understand, or bring himself to understand, where he went wrong. He will live in that despair for all eternity. Edward, by contrast, did what the Dwarf could never have done. He was willing to sacrifice his ability to use alchemy because he realized the truth: that in the end all he was is a simple human being....but that wasn't bad at all. And Hoenheim after helping to setting right what his "brother" did with the help of his boys was finally able to rest in peace with his wife, something he truly deserved.

[@pcbandeira-m]

I think is sad how the english dub doesn't match with the feeling from japanese dub. When Greed is saying goodbye, he says something more like "friends of my soul", which is way more significant since Ed said before that "friends are bond by their souls".

[@haryesidur]

Hey, I loved the watch through so far but let me just add some detail on this episode: Earlier Father specifically pointed out that the Homonculus crew are his sins given form, and expressly that Greed is his own greed. The thing that then goes on to fulfil Greed was friendship, something Father was expressly missing and unable to obtain. It makes us wonder how the others acted and how that reflects on Father, this lets us learn about Father, our ultimate villain, without him having to even be on screen. Then finally, when the nameless homonculus that was Father was getting sucked into the Truth, he asked what he did wrong, because that knowledge was one of the things he lacked. Feeding the ironic deaths of the sins, the being seeking all knowledge completely ignored and didn't learn about morals and dies ignorant of what he did wrong.

[@Kashi_Mochibean]

Here's a sort of hidden fun fact for those who haven't yet made the connection; So, Truth takes a shape like whoever he is interacting with. When Ed first goes there Truth has child like proportions, but when we see Izumi go through, Truth looks more like an adult. This becomes much more blatant with dwarf in the flask seeing truth as just a ball with a mouth. This is where it gets interesting. Father talks about the earth as being a life form before using the eclipse to open his super portal to claim god, right? So if when truth stands at someone's door it takes their form but all white, then what looks like the earth, a globe, but all white? That's right, the moon itself is basically implied to be the earths "truth being". And I think that's awesome. And I think the idea that, if you think about it, the writer used a piece of nature that no one would ever question being in the story as a sort of foreshadowing, is pure genius.

[@thefunniestvalentine4789]

The Lust death is more ironic because she’s killed by lustless love. Hughes and Mustang are best friends but share love for each other, and Hawkeye and Mustang love each other but aren’t allowed to be together because of the military’s rules so they only love each other and never act on it. Hughes took one of Lust’s lives in central right before his death and if he didn’t then Mustang would be dead, and if Hawkeye didn’t fire every single bullet she had into Lust, Mustang would be dead.

[@nickfidler6908]

The show posits the question many times: What could equal a human soul? The answer is potential. The potential for a human to be more than a human. A price that, when paid, comes with the realization that a human can already be anything.

[@rich9320]

Now we see the fates of the homunculi. Lust with the unstoppable spear to pierce any mans heart killed by a man with fiery passion. Gluttony with the ability to eat anything to satiate his hunger eaten by kin. Sloth with thee speed to complete his tasks died trying to complete a task. Envy who could turn into anyone they wont be envious of others killed themselves in shame. Wrath given the eye to see even when blinded with rage killed by a man once consumed by rage when blinded by the sun. Greed who had the unbreakable shield to protect his friends died sacrificing himself to protect his friends from his father. Pride given his fathers form reduced to a mortal insignificant form. The poetry the lessons in this series is always top tier.

Really, the irony of Father's demise is he strove for absolute freedom. He wanted to achieve it by binding god to his being and be above the laws of the world. Now he's doomed to be imprisoned in his own portal of truth for all eternity. Also you didn't go over the decision of the characters to not rat Bradley out as a conspirator and instead paint him as a hero who died for his nation.

i always feel some pity for the dwarf in the flask "father" he took the wrong path sure, but he was born into a life a slavery, life in a container, and so he wanted more than that. more than seeing the sky from his cage he wanted to fly, but that desire became pride in what he had become, yet he still felt empty, thus envy, became greed, gluttony, lust, and sloth and when all else failed he became wrath. his trying to remove those feelings is where he failed to be human, and by extension where he failed to understand "truth" or all. because perfect is a flawed concept, and to a certain degree i feel anyone who destroys themselves for perfection deserves some pity. because dont we all wish to be perfect at some point. the actions we take in that pursuit can, and in his case are, abominable, but wanting to be perfect we can all understand.

This episode is an emotional powerhouse. Carlie had me tearing up right along with her.

There are 2 finales in FMA, first one tears with love and second one tears with joy

So the symbols on everyones doors reperesent all the knowledge they have learned and if you look Fathers door is completly blank, in all that time he truly learned nothing.

4:56 in the eng sub he says ''tamashi no tomoyo'' as in: farewell my friends of the soul..

At some point whether in your free time or for a reaction series you should watch the original FMA it is also well written and apart from the first handful if epusides it is a completely different anime with some familar and new character ( like 2 homonculus you dont see in brotherhood) while it is soooo much different it is a masterpece in itself.
