@@GodBear97 it's an interesting topic. i don't think it would be possible for him to get emotionally more mature without the hardware that allows that and he is clearly portrayed as much more childish than ed despite their original age difference being not that significant. ed is a moody teenage but al is still a kid with no any other explanation really

[@firefun85]

fun fact, the author of fullmetal Alchemist grew up on a dairy farm. hence the "you got to drink your milk" scenes.

[@kaybadberg534]

Isn’t her name also Hiromu? I distinctly remember her drawing herself as a cow in the author’s page of the manga Edit: Yep. Just looked at my copy of the manga. She drew herself as a cow in glasses and panties and wrote fighting panties at the top.

[@borjankosarac3645]

Her legal name is *actually* Hiromi Arakawa; she uses a traditionally-male given name to attract the young male audience. So… Japan’s equivalent to JK Rowling. Except you know, hopefully-*probably* not a complete garbage human being especially given her deeper story themes.

[@critica77y77]

@borjankosarac3645 That’s not a fair comparison. JK Rowling is a talentless hack writer who makes her characters act in nonsensical ways to forcibly make the plot work, and the worldbuilding is legitimately awful.

You’re comment about your sisters takes heart to admit. I appreciate you letting us in. Your gonna love this show as it progresses

[@flatcat6676]

Hughes foreshadows a lot in this episode - both the future plot and some of the backstory. If you're interested in Hughes as a character, this episode is a good one to pin in your memory to reference as the series progresses. As far as Al being "easily" swayed by Berry, you have to remember that at this point he's been trapped in the armor - which is complete sensory deprivation except for sight and sound - for four years at this point. Not only that, he and Ed have lived a very active life during that time, and he was having trouble remembering kids who he used to play with when he and Ed went back home in the prior episodes. Consider how much we clearly remember about our lives when we were ten years old. Consider how it must be to find yourself with an artificial body yet having memories of being a live, flesh and blood human boy. Consider that Ed is shown throughout the series to be impulsive and a bit selfish, so it's not out of bounds for Al to wonder if maybe Ed created himself a loyal little brother as a companion and ally in his quest to restore his body. Trauma can turn our minds into nightmare playgrounds, and I always thought Al was the strongest character in this series just for the fact that he didn't fall into to sheer madness.

[@ripleyjlawman.3162]

I can’t really determine, what would be a more distressing truth to find out or rather lie to be gaslighted into believing if I were in Al’s position, because both scenarios that come to mind are pretty bleak. For example the idea of merely being an artificially constructed conscious bound to a suit of armour and given memories of events that never happened so that I would assist my creator/so-called sibling in achieving whatever task I was created for without question, that idea is distressing on multiple levels, whether it be the truth or a horrid lie, if it were the truth that would mean everyone I thought loved me was in on this deception, and leaves open the possibility of being destroyed and replaced, with this new artificial life being unaware of the horrifying truth, and potentially subject to the same horrible fate if the truth were to be revealed to them, on the other hand if that were a lie as it was in Al’s case, I don’t think an apology and a brief fight with everyone who loved me would undo the burning of the bridges between us like it did when Al did it. The alternate scenario is based around the idea of not actually being my soul bonded to a suit of armour by an older sibling but instead unbeknownst to the pair of us, I would be an artificial construct, unintentionally created and operating as a stand-in for my original self, with my sibling’s memories being the basis for my recreated personality and voice, presumably the recreation though unintentional was meticulous given that neither of us noticed a difference until fairly recently. Now assuming we’re operating in a version of the scenario where it turns out to be the truth, if we had our little falling out, fight and reconciliation and came out of it believing the idea to be nothing more than a cruel lie to throw us off our game and turn us into easy prey, only to discover that Barry stand-in was unintentionally right about my status as a recreation of myself, it’s distressing and disturbing imagining the results of said revelation, assuming that the original soul became part of the universe/world/God/Truth and was irretrievable would my sibling fall to despair? Or in the case that it were a lie, but I was operating under the assumption that it was the truth then the idea of not in a sense being me would be unbearable, even if we proved said idea was nothing more than a fabrication, that sort of thought tends to linger and lead to far worse thoughts.

[@camronk1356]

I lost 3 brothers and 3 sisters before any of them turned 36. I'm the baby brother of my biological family. I haven't come to grips over them. Bless you and your sister. Your fans love you very much ❤

[@Sirxeko]

Just as a brief correction. The slicer brothers werent treated as animals jusy as the armor suit. They were treated as animals their entire lives. Kinda goes with the whole mass murderer thing. Thats why they were so shocked by Ed treating them with any level of humanity.

Hughes has a point. Even me, when people ask me if something's up, or how I'm doing, my go-to response is "haha yeah, i'm good, just a little tired" I don't think I'll ever not fall back on that response as a defense mechanism.

I may have said this before, but the non-spoiler promise I can make you is that any question you’re left with about this show will be answered. It’s a great quality in a show. The first TV series didn’t manage that but the author of the manga had it planned out much better. And there will be more sibling relationship stuff in this, so saddle up for that.

Good manga moments not featured in show: When Winry arrives, Ed is downright *mummified* in bandages. She's horrified, and he explains that his actual injuries weren't *this* bad until... (cuts to flashback of Armtsrong tearfully giving him a hug)

[@darthroden]

18:02 "Hughes is a little dark sometimes." Yeah, there's a reason for that. He's a war veteran who has seen and done some shit, so he can shift from being the guy who gets all cute about his daughter's birthday and loves his wife, the compassionate man who looks out for the brothers.....to a guy who would put a bullet between your eyes in a moment if any of those things were threatened and lose no sleep over it.

[@davek7702]

My brother too passed away 21 years ago. Sorry for your loss.

[@Matuse]

You can watch some videos from the Dadvocate - she goes into these topics about men and the expression of feelings a lot. She's dead-on basically all the time. Ironically, Dadvocate mostly makes her videos for women, but her audience is composed primarily of men who just love the fact that somewhere out there is a woman who really understands.

[@BleydTorvall]

I'm so glad they didn't drag out the drama between the brothers for more than just an episode. Despite Al's youth, I always felt like it was such a forced plot point to make Al even consider the possibility that Barry was telling the truth. It would be so irritating if they'd instead tried to drag it out for maybe half a season like so many other anime series would have...

[@blueor]

If I remembered correctly, they dragged Al's doubt in the 2008 version. Because show runners had so little manga materials to work with, so they prolonged every plot point they could find. Even Tucker was alive, and grew donkey ears (I'm not kidding)...that's why I can never take the 2008 FMA seriously.

[@LordBaktor]

Yeah, it's my least favorite plot point but it resolves quickly and the resolution brings with it a wise message so I'm willing to forgive that the instigation feels ham fisted.

I always thought that Barry the Chopper wasn't smart, but being the same kind of person and a prisoner, he's had all this time to think and wonder on his existence. That is why he can weaponize all those doubts, and his insanity becomes his rock that gives his existence meaning. Al isn't insane but he also has the long night to dwell.

[@KaylaHigbeeVO]

Sending you lots of love for your sister, I hope this show can provide you some catharsis. ♥Ed and Al's sibling relationship is so beautifully written.

[@wildbronco038]

Re: how easy Al was to manipulate. Remember, he was very young when his mother died and not much older (a few years) when Ed and he attempted the Human Transmutation. At the time of the "current events," he would only be 14. So you're talking about a 14 year old (which as somebody already mentioned is already very impressionable under normal circumstances). Add in the fact that he's lived a very traumatized life from a young age and the fact that he hasn't really gotten to experience a normal childhood or adolescent years. Plus the fact that he's so pure hearted and naive. You have the perfectr recipe for a "easy mark."

[@kennethmorgan8795]

Well... Amestrians are commonly Blonde and blue eyed for a reason. Armstrong is very much a good example of non-toxic masculinity. He is very 'manly' but he's not afraid to show emotions and he encourages everyone to examine/face their own. Hughes is 100% dad goals... well 90% of the time. Oh shit, this episode is always a little rough... have a cyber-hug. Scar is, at his worst, interesting. It's easy to see things at least partially from his side but because of his extremism it's easy to think "he's going a little far". Honestly, and in some ways you brought it up yourself but not quite, he's got soo many similarities to Magneto. And evil or not Magneto is an amazing character. So without spoiling things I'll say this about Kimblee/state alchemists: They're a part of the military... kinda like Green Beret as compared to the Army (not the best analogy but). They are not a *separate* organization or group, they answer directly to the government and Bradley. That's why Ross and Brosch were kind of afraid of reprimanding Ed, he is a higher rank than they are so it was (at best) insubordination. Luckily Ed has his mature moments and doesn't really think of himself as part of the military... like he knows he is but the number of shits he gives couldn't be lower.

[@MrCOLBSTAH]

I'm pretty sure that the anger and violence thing is not necessarily something that's like actually happening. It's more of a ultimate expression of their internal State.. really kind of hard to explain but all emotions in anime are turned up to 11.

19:30 Yes, it's an anime-ism, violence is not treated as serious when it's done by a girl in Shonen Anime. But it is somewhat justified when it comes to Al, he can't feel pain, all Windy striking him has is shock value.

[@lothsper]

[@DoomyRei]

I believe Winry's role in the story is to ground everything. In a show full of nigh superhuman alchemist a "normal" character is important. If nothing the very least, a "normal" character establishes a baseline of what is normal. Yes, she's a talented automail mechanic with probably a bright future in front of her. However, as far as the plot goes, she's a normie. But it's more than that. Winry is the foundation, the very bedrock, of the Elric brothers. You'd think the brothers support each other like the walls of a house and you'd be right. But, Winry is the one who keeps the house on stable earth. She's like a tether that keeps the kites from flying off. A homing beacon in case they get lost. A solid rock in the sea. Without Winry, it would be very easy for the Elric brothers to lose themselves in their quest. Maybe they wouldn't fall to the dark side (they've already made that mistake) but their singular obsession to their quest can have consequences just as bad. For example, they could have just wandered the world endlessly and aimlessly, FMA. For example, they could have simply given in to despair at any point, given the futility of their quest, FMA. Winry's also one of the few characters whose relationship with the Elrics isn't founded on some working relationship (as amiable as many of those are) but on simple friendship. No conditions, no extenuating circumstances. Simple Friendship.

[@silbury2325]

The reason Japanese people "speak fast" is because spoken Japanese has "low information density". It's a linguistics concept that measures how much information is conveyed per "sound" or "phoneme". It's been observed that languages with low information density are spoken "faster" to compensate. Averaging the majority of languages out, regardless of information density, all people convey roughly the same amount of information per minute. It's not uncommon for English speakers to interpret Japanese speaking or singing as "rap" even when it isn't, precisely because of this phenomenon.

[@captainz9]

Not to worry, not particularly a spoiler but obviously the story of what happened with Ishval gets developed far more as time goes on, and you certainly will understand Scar's anger. The war also relates to what happened to Winry's parents (they were doctors during the war).(

[@Bondrewd_The_Based]

Im not sure how far you are into this show, so consider spoilers with this comment until at least after the halfway point in the series: I like the use of the term "Fuhrer" in the show. By itself it just means "leader," so it should be fine, but with our own historical context to it with Hitler, it gives us a sense of unease with Amestris before we find out the truth about the country, its government, and its historical atrocities in service to the grand conspiracy behind everything. It makes us automatically suspicious of Bradley, especially when we hear about the extermination in Ishval.

[@LifeStoneLive]

A couple of points of clarification: 1. There are no police, really, just the military. The military uniforms are blue, but they are not police. :) 2. Many state alchemists (as well as scads of normal soldiers) were sent to Ishval during the Extermination. Mustang, Armstrong, and Kimblee were just a few. 3. State alchemists automatically hold the rank of Major. Ed (officially Major Elric) actually outranks Sergeant Brosh and Lieutenant Ross, which is why they apologized in advance before slapping him. :)

[@SnowyWolborg]

They don't show up frequently or have any real role in the series, but there are military police, they are the ones who are in the black uniforms. But, considering that this entire country is a military state, there is effectively no real difference, to be honest.

Because genocide is being used as a rhetorical weapon against a state that can't be defeated militarily by the weaker aggresor. But it can be defamed.

Yeah, it's absolutely insane to see violent protests on college campuses in America calling for the extermination of the Jews... And yet while they stand with an openly genocidal terrorist group that killed over a thousand innocent people, they have the unmitigated GALL to call Israel's retaliation a "genocide..." Absolutely insane that we have somehow allowed colleges to indoctrinate an entire generation of Nazis right here in America...

May your sister's memory be a blessing.

Angela really watched episode 10 right after that… I know you had no way of knowing what’s in store for 10, but putting yourself through this must have been rough. Can’t wait to see the reaction.

[@Sheriff6170]

Also, what a waste to reapply makeup 😂

[@toddmaliepaard9777]

I absolutely love this show, but it is going to be brutal on Angela throughout. The story is absolutely worth it though.

It was a terrible day for rain

[@codybarnes1531]

Oh no, so that happened.

[@t.c.thompson2359]

​@@funnylilgalreactsYou still get to look forward to Ed and AL finding out. Lucky...

[@El-Toro-Nica]

My heart goes out to you Angela! It’s been 25 years since my wife lost her brother, and the anniversary of his death still brings pain to her. Thank you for all you do on your channel, but I hope you find time for yourself today!

Girl yes i love hughs. Him in civilian clothing! I think youre lucky not to have watched other anime, cause when people meet hughs theyre soooo suspicious of him and think he's got nefarious motives because of how sweet he is. So it makes alot of people distrust/dislike him. And then they watch episode 10 and feel so bad

[@t.c.thompson2359]

I don't remember being suspicious of Hughes in the 2003 anime. The art in that is better in some ways nd I like the yellow transmutations over the blue of Brotherhood, wasn't that fond of the ending of the original series though. You build up alot more affection for Maes in the old anime too, I watched the Shamballa movie only because his counterpart was in it.

Poor Morgan never lived that down lmao😅

Armstrong is very non-toxic masculinity. He’s strong and massively built, but he’s compassionate, openly affectionate, and not afraid to show his feelings. There’s a reason why the series gives a WWII vibe. The series was intentionally set in a Eurocentric fantasy world, and a lot of the characters’ surnames are based on military vehicles.😊

[@DaDunge]

More ww1, in fact I seem to recall the year their mother died was given as 1914 on the tombstone.

[@lyrebirb83]

​@@DaDungea lot of people forget that more people died of disease and pandemics, from non combat causes, than died from murder or combat related infection like trench foot. As brutal as the war was, or was only about half as bad as the diseases that ravaged the world's right then.

[@AlexanderForsman]

Toxic masculinity is not a real thing XD It was just invented as a term for prison inmates.
