I really think in his own way Hohenhime was actually a good father, he decided to leave not because he didn't love his family but because he did and wanted to save them from Father's plan. Being immortal couldn't allow him to forsee Trisha's death and how his boys would react to it and he isn't to blame for their actions as both knew human transmutation was forbidden. I love his character so much as it's not black and white, people dislike him because we mostly see him through Ed's lense of hatred and lack of understanding for his father's actions.

[@sosmooth13]

Idk how people could hate him still after they watched the whole thing. Maybe it’s all about mental maturity at that point.

[@Prodigi50]

[@faust9741]

@@Prodigi50 i have father issues similar to hohenheim but what makes it different is that Hohenheim is a responsible father. Especially, the last scene where hohenheim wanted to sacrifice himself for Alphonse and also countless scenes that shows how Hohenheim wanted to sacrifice himself for the sake of his children's happiness. In the anime itself you can clearly saw that he is actually a loving,humble and a compassionate person he loves both of their child very very much that he wishes that he could grow old with them and also died with them.

In many ways Hohenheim was the true protagonist of fullmetal alchemist since everything in the story starts and ends with him.

[@kronfischer]

in Episode 40: Dwarf in the Flask, dub, i very much prefer the translation the production team chose when Van and Dwarf were in the centre of the circle moments from becoming immortal. "The true center of the transmuation circle is right here where you're standing." "Blood brother of mine, Van Hohenheim." "Right now, you and I are at the center of everything!" It really highlights that these two were indeed the focal point of this story, which is why the dub really made me appreciate the story even more than I used to

Nice summary. I would add that Hohenheim's body was also rapidly decaying by the time he reached Trisha's grave. As he was technically bound to the dwarf by blood, and had his own philosopher's stone drained in the final battle it was inevitable that he couldn't live longer with his sons. Its a nice parallel to Edward's sacrifice enabling him to pull Alphonse out of the gate - 2 living beings emerging from the gate vs 2 beings who must return to the gate. The former slave who was forced to be "born" as an immortal being, finally had the freedom to choose his moment of death...

This was a part of my argument as to why this was one of the best anime of all time. A lot of good anime heavily rely on the protagonist. In this one, (while they’re still the focus of the story a bit) other side characters are just as capable, if not more important than the protagonists. The way they cheered for Edward at the end of the whole story is how most anime rely on the mc the ENTIRE damn show lol. Idk why but that puts me off.

Prequels!! That would be great. This show did a great job with world building and back story which usually makes up an overall good story. So I don’t see why that wouldn’t be bad.

In exchange of bring their mother back. one brother lose his body and the other lose his leg. After realizing that his brother body was gone he decided to do another human trans to bond his brother soul into the a body of metal which cause him to go back to the truth n which the truth took his arm (note to bond a soul into a metal body without a stone an exchange must be made. Hence why the circle was made in the lab where they use the prisoners for the stone )

[@Jam77229]

Losing his arm wasn't a rebound. None of it was a rebound. His arm was the price he paid for Al's soul. Al's body and his leg were the price for trying to transmute their mother.

[@SmEiF-]

@@Jam77229 it makes more sense that losing als body was the rebound. Ed gets to pick his arm and leg but al has to trade his body?? I've always thought the body was the rebound loss, eds leg was the trade for the mom. Then the arm for al. Otherwise its a massive plot hole as why al has a body only worth 1 ed leg. Doesn't seem fair for a anime hell bent on explaining why equivalent exchange is so important. Trading a leg for a full body is like trading a toenail for gold. There is nothing equal about it. Also the leg for a soul plus body aka mom. explains why it didn't work. Like planned. It wasnt equal so they got a equal trade a half ass monster mom. Then the trade for the arm for the soul of al doesnt make any fkn sense eithsr. Not gonna lie I fkn love both fma will watch em both again 100 times before I die.

@@invaderjoshua6280 The problem with what you're suggesting is that the 7 Homunculi mean something completely different in both series. In 2003, they are just reborn people who came back twisted while in Brotherhood, they are the expelled facets of Father's original personality given humanoid form. It would make no sense for Father's Sloth to naturally look like Trisha or have her soul and there's no way (or reason) for Father to put his Sloth inside Trisha's body since she dies naturally and becomes the catalyst of the Elric's foray in human transmutation (and if he wanted a human-homunculi merger like Wrath, he wouldn't use someone as random as Trisha). 2003 Sloth is more interesting than Brotherhood Sloth, but she only works in the 2003 anime.

What a spectacular story, an ancient power, a diabolical plan centuries in the making, and a love that changed the fate of a nation. Epic!

[@nickl9317]

This stuff was among the best in FMA, along with the discovery of what a philosopher’s stone really is. The 2003 anime also had a very interesting direction with Hohenhein and Dante that I wish was more front and center at the end, there was a lot of substance and thematic stuff to do there

[@rainbows98]

yeah im crying no its not the rain man i just love fullmetal alchemist

[@rainbows98]

:') this was a good video!!

[@mrbooplayz5936]

The reason in why FMA is a masterpiece still one of the best anime created never get tired watching it again

[@duoandaone3223]

just for the people who want to watch the anime of fullmetal alchemist, the anime itself is called fullmetal alchemist brotherhood (FMAB) Fullmetal alchemist is an anime too, but its not the proper adaptation.

[@rayazkhan9498]

This was a well written & edited video. Thanks for making it!

[@faelock12]

Episode 63 of brotherhood is where I believe the series ended I’ve seen episode 64 but in all honestly prefer to see the series end in the send off for hohenheim at the end of episode 63 when the music kicks in

[@mohammednabil5254]

No why whats wrong with the beautifull ending they gave the characters. I loved it this is the goat anime

[@faelock12]

@@mohammednabil5254 Oh I know that The ending they gave is awesome I’m saying that the way they ended episode 63 by giving hohenheim a send off with Rain is perfect and is where my head canon says the series ended

[@matheusgoularte5008]

@@faelock12 I believe 63 is kinda the end, the 64 feel like an epilogue

That was amazing great job on telling that. Keep doing this it was really nice to listen to that on one of my favorite anime’s

I've watched Brotherhood 7 times and each time I cry harder when he dies. He lived a tragic life, so when Pinako finds him the waterworks just won't stop 😅

Lol may has absolutely no idea she won big being one to actually marry the son of the sage they highly regard.

Hohenheim's smile with Rain playing right as it comes to screen utterly destroyed my feels when I watched the anime years back. Oof, fucking top tier.

[@yineo]

I had no idea that Brotherhood and Trigun had so many common elements.

[@ReceptiveRaptor]

I love how the music you used is the same as those "the life of x" Harry potter videos from that channel I can't remember the name of. Nice touch.

I wish you could've gotten the rights to play SID's rain towards the end of Hoenheim's life, that would've been epic. Also I forgot how blue Al was in Brotherhood

Just completed the FMAB today3 April 2023. It's a masterpiece. Van was indeed a great character

Von is Jesus, the man that walked on water, the man creating miracles.

[@tjjordan4207]

I prefer the manga/2009 anime version of Hohenheim over the 2003 version. This one had a legit reason for leaving his family over the 2003 version, who just turned out to be a dead-beat dad. This one has more depth and a more satisfying backstory, plus the conclusion to his story was great.

[@NoNameNoWhere]

His body began to rot, and if I remember correctly, he wanted to find a way to fix it without sacrificing someone else. It's funny that in the 03 anime, he's inside someone else's body. I like that his body is his own in Brotherhood.
