Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - 1x14 Those Who Lurk Underground - Group Reaction

[@abnercaballero3538]

To clarify, it's not the the sword can cut trough Greed's shield, in fact he never does that. If you look closely he is cutting his skin faster than he could cover it.

[@Orangeveil]

Yeah, Wrath only mentioned that he DIDN'T have the Ultimate Spear, which is Lust's power.

[@Raidanzoup]

Yeah, and I guess when they asked why he didn't cover up his entire body, one way to look at it is that he was constantly being sliced up in different spots so he had to drop his shields to regenerate his body.

[@brendonclark4705]

Raidanzoup yea ed said he cant regen his shield and heal at the same time.

[@borjankosarac3645]

Precisely - Wrath/Bradley is using ordinary swords, nothing special about them, but his insane speed means that Greed isn't healing fast enough to even USE his Ultimate Shield to its full potential; if he could, he wouldn't necessarily WIN but it would be a less one-sided match-up at least. And to think, Wrath isn't even in his PRIME anymore due to growing older; I can scarce imagine what a MONSTER he must have been as a younger man on the battlefield...

[@gummybearchewy5444]

Borjan Kosarac I remember hearing somewhere that the author of the manga was once asked how powerful Bradley in his prime would be. To which she replied something like. No one that goes up against him in this show would have stood a chance of winning.

[@rinkusan978]

Navi's smirk at the early parts are just too good. But then I made the realisation that Navi's reactions would now be most interesting to me because you can see her start to realize the differences between both series. Loved seeing her confused.

[@aba2185]

The Transition was great.

[@flyflip87]

Antiquity please do more of that! 😁

[@magortom]

I agree

[@_syzygy_]

it was hilarious lmao

[@philipkay8372]

Ahaha I laughed pretty hard when I saw it

[@harshmelo187]

Nice touch with the commercial transitions

[@blackcat19]

The real Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood starts here.

[@z.z.1638]

Aye!!!

[@vincentlira1956]

@Devil you obviously know what he's talking about, quit trying to look like a smartass

[@SnowyWolborg]

Slicing Greed up a dozen times _is_ killing him. Bradley just meant how many times does it take before he stops coming back to life. Or healing, rather. And Greed can't put up his Ultimate Shield and heal at the same time. Bradley is just attacking way too fast for him to keep up with.

[@limelightraver5690]

I started cracking up when I saw your homage to the Fullmetal alchemist commercial transitions

[@lalalalisa41]

Ed said in the previous episode that Greed can't harden and heal at the same time. Lots of plot twists! Also, nice transitions btw! I was not expecting it :)

[@Lupinemancer87]

Although it is subtle, all seven Homunculi actually appear in this episode, (even Pride, but you just don't know who he is yet) which is the first and only time they are all seen in one episode.

[@Warriorcats64]

But Pride is right there, stabbing Greed over and over again. We know exactly who he is!

[@digitalcarnage7436]

That's only in the original Bradley is wraith in brotherhood

[@acetrainer44]

It was at this time, when Navi realized things were changing up, and we can get really excited for they have no idea what's in store for them...

[@josebueno6323]

*sigh* Poor little selim. So blissfully unaware.

[@flyflip87]

Jose Bueno talk about a summer child 🤧 the homunculi are such manipulators

[@enharmonics]

Sweet, innocent, naive Selim. I'll mourn the day should he ever discover all the horror behind the scenes....Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I'm sure he'd just be devastated....

[@totally5694]

love how we all just Know lmao

[@youcefazizou6356]

greed couldn't turn into his final form, because he can't harden and regenerate at the same time.

[@leerose8628]

Oh shit I’ve never put two and two together.

[@youcefazizou6356]

who the fuck ever said that it wasn't obvious, i was just pointing out what the normies forgot.

[@houseofaction]

he would have survived if he had gone full armor in an instant

[@kace10531]

Also turning on his armor is a bit slow to activate... And even gets delayed even more by healing... So yeah... He can't turn full armor if he has a cut...

[@PACKERMAN2077]

"Fullmetal Alchemist... *BUTTERHOOD"* 😋

[@legionkahn]

It will be fun to see Navi react now since from this point on the first anime and Brotherhood totally divert from each other. She is going to be just as blind as the rest now because the stories are completely different. Even the major plot points are different and whole lot of new main characters are about to be introduced.

[@kool2btrue]

For the record, Brotherhood is the REAL story. The other FMA got ahead of the anime so the producers made up most of the story. If I remember correctly from this point on, Brotherhood and FMA are very very different

[@t.c.thompson2359]

Who else is watching Navi react to the differences of his and the old anime? Like the Fuhrer not being Pride, Sloth not being a copy of you-know-who, Dante not being a thing at all

[@joshuagross3151]

Although the original character model for Dante (when she's first introduced as an old woman) is actually given a brief appearance, near the end of the series. Some people might say it's a coincidence, but I doubt it.

[@mordirit8727]

Navi everything regarding the homunculus is entirely different in the old show. They caught up to the manga way too soon and just went ahead with an entirely original plot of their own, so other than a few characters that have a similar backstory and names and designs, it's like 03 and FMAB are two entirely separate shows.

[@monotropa_uniflora]

Mordirit I wouldn't tell her, it makes the whole thing better if she doesn't have any issues with her perception of what's going to happen. If she believes it and makes the others believe it too, wont their reactions to the plot twists be a lot better? I think when reacting to something, believing that you KNOW whats comming is a lot better than knowing nothing. That way you dont question the story so much and don't pick up on hints that point in different directions so easily. So basicaly shes working really hard to make everyone (and herself) be more shocked about upcoming reveals.

[@austinclark8649]

Can't wait for episode 19...

[@BadAssMacmillan]

Damn, I forgot how many revelations we had in this episode! God i miss this show. I wish i can erase my memories so I can watch it for the first time again lol

[@DarthKay093]

So this was the day Edward, Alphonse & Izumi was marked as Human sacrifices. Still love Bradly as a character thou

[@dannybob42]

Kajsa Svensson technically this is the day Al and Izumi are officially marked, Envy and Lust marked Ed as a Sacrifice back at the Fifth Laboratory

[@borjankosarac3645]

Agreed - as a person I would despise Bradley, but as a CHARACTER he's f**king phenomenal and easily in my Top 10 for FMA (if not Top 5, though I'm unsure of that). And as a villain? No contest, there.

[@tekbox7909]

@@dannybob42 He was probably already marked at his entrence exam. after all he showed that he didnt need a transmutation circle

[@nb6806]

I loved the Normy commercial transitions. Please include them in future reactions!

[@thadwill1506]

Perfect reaction guys. Navi is now completely blind as well. I love Wednesdays!

[@youcefazizou6356]

shit, that's the first time Marketta predicted something right!! i'm unironically impressed.

[@monotropa_uniflora]

That moment when FMA-only watchers realize this is brotherhood 😂 11:37

[@dannybob42]

Eye spy with my ultimate eye, something beginning with W Her name is Izumi In the manga, Bradley is in the south for Ed’s assessment day. W is for Whoa, Bradley has skill W for well, Armstrong didn’t take long to win everyone over ;) W for WTF, he’s one of them~ Bradley just hit god tier. Homunculi is plural, singular is Homunculus. W for Wasted, Martel’s death is brutal. The 03 anime extends Martel’s living time by having her buddy with the Elrics and prolonging the eye reveal W for Win, those FMA style cuts was a win The blood pours and Al remembers, but his knowledge isn’t anything to help them. W for Wily, Bradley knows, but he’s got them in his hand W for Woe, since Ed and Al didn’t know about Hughes W for Wrath, the Fuhrious, also a Sloth cameo. In 03 he is Pride, but Pride has another face. And W for Wild, for Father looks oddly familiar and literally drinks Greed after melting him down. Not what you expected huh Navi? It’s not way too quick, you don’t know what’s coming anymore. His ultimate eye sees weak points, and minor precognition, his speed is part of his physiology. The ageing is a new factor. Yes, a lot of people miss that the sacrifices are picked because they saw the portal, it is worth remembering it. There’d be no fusion, the blood seal actually binds the soul between the blood and the armour’s iron. Yeah don’t even consider the 03 series anymore, it is different from here, there is no Dante. The Homunculi are kinda siblings, Father said that they were a part of his soul A final W for Watch! Watch morrrrrre! We’re entering Part 2 now; new opening, new characters and thus a new shuffle to choreograph

[@amukhb8608]

I wish if these were 2 episodes weekly really like your reaction

[@sofiacaramelo4890]

Lol the thumbnail os great, i especially love navi's face xD She has that "i was waiting for this moment" look

[@houseofaction]

Bradley's left eye is the ultimate eye it grants him great wisdom and focus similar to how odin gained a great site when he sacrificed one eye

[@sushilsinha6681]

The last speech of Greed ALWAYS gives me the chills.

[@vegetaouji333]

THAT TRANSITION WAS EVERYTHING. I knew you would fulfill me. 💙💙💙 Please continue. Also everything being said about Navi is 100% accurate and it highlarious to watch. 😂👍🏾

[@jamaalellison3076]

I'm loving their reaction to FULL METAL ALCHEMISTS

[@WhatKindOfNameNow]

Navi, you officially have no idea what's going on anymore. lol You're correct that it's a completely different plan and story from this point out.

[@mirandarichard122]

Bradley's voice is so chilling

[@LadyVenomWay]

Love the tees Marketa and Navi you guys always look great. nice reaction guys!

[@Gu3ssWhatsN3XT]

LMFAO I wasn't expecting that transition you guys threw in there! XD That was funny yet fitting. I love watching a good fma transition thrown into a vid

[@nicolaskaito4769]

For those who watched the first anime.Everything going to be new as from the next episode..

[@ttlpwn34]

Bradley has normal swords. It looks like he cut through Greed's shield but he cuts ahead of it, higher up the arm.

[@sylendraws1249]

No one ever expected that Fuhrer King Bradley was secretly an Uchiha all along!! DUN DUN DUUUUUN!!

[@jackskxllxngtxn]

Omg those cuts for the show to pause….. magnificent

[@QueenoftheNorth]

I'm really glad the dub mentioned Wrath's warning about executing Ed and Al, which is missed out in the sub. Great reaction guys!

[@Raidanzoup]

The part where Bradley "read" the kids wasn't anything particularly special. He called Ed an honest kid because his face/reaction to the leading question could be read like a book. I always understood the blood splashing on Al's seal as an "intense trauma (someone helplessly, needlessly, dying inside of you, a bodyless child)" triggering his lost memories (that he lost due to trauma in the first place?). Lots of good reactions in this episode, guys! The ride is wild and not ending any time soon.

[@konstantinekalandia1138]

first FMA cought up with the manga really soon and then took a different direction, when FMAB follows the manga to the end

[@TheBoldenb]

About the fuck time! Nah j/k this was uploaded in a timely manner I'm just impatient🙄

[@kyril98741]

TheBoldenb damn 1 month ago..

[@slipipipi7971]

Wrath is fast af boiiiii

[@OpeningYugioh]

Here we go!!! This is where the series picks up!!!

[@KiraAotsuki]

Dammit that cutaway got me xD

[@PotterLore]

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS! I spit my water on that "Normies react to fullmetal alchemist". You guys are just the best

[@WaketheFallen131]

Yo that transition was legit one of the most creative things and I am HERE for it lol

[@BigBirdBigDaddy]

This episode on is where this series starts to differ from the original FMA and follow the original manga.

[@petavanlieshout9171]

Navi, the original fma wasn't the true story. They made up a lot of it because the manga was nowhere near being complete XD Brotherhood is how everything is meant to go! :)

[@darryljack6612]

lol Navi amug smile during the reveal in this episode lol

[@biancavillegas5771]

Dang I know I've said this but Marketa really is asking the right questions. Real good questions

[@ASageCalledQ]

The transition was pure gold.

[@yatharthgerangal2666]

LOL those pauses though, you have my respect for eternity because of that.

[@AccidentalInsomniac427]

3:55 watching Navi's reaction to everyone else's surprise? Priceless.

[@swapnasaritnayak2569]

Fma brotherhood is nothing like fma. The story diverges into something else gradually. And personally this is waaaaaaaay better than the FMA. I think it's high Time to stop comparing these two and enjoy the current one and get your mind blown.

[@R.J.Godzilla81]

Loved how Greed went out, like a BOSS!

[@darkflame728]

Bradley is their leader, and as such he has to sign off on any new state alchemist coming aboard. Remember when Ed got his certification letter and his title? And considering human transmutation is illegal (for good reason), Bradley is in the perfect position to find people who've seen The Truth.

[@Jeremy-jm3fe]

Navi, everything from here on in is following the manga source material. FMA 2003 is not canon.

[@kyril98741]

Navi already leading them to believe that there are only one father. Nice... It will be pleasure to see their surprise face in the future.

[@doubleasworkshop1692]

kharil hasan i have noticed that some of them read comments. Best not to spoil them buddy

[@MsKennykins]

kharil hasan she doesn't know there's two. In the original it was him and... lyra? I can't remember her name

[@dannybob42]

MsKennykins technically Dante, but she stole Lyra’s body

[@georgev3433]

Yes from this point on they diverge from FMA.

[@Mana_Thief]

Can't be the only one to feel this way so I'm just gonna go out there and say it: I'm glad Navi is blind from now on throughout the series for... reasons. =P

[@goldenthyme13]

Ling is next! Story divergence! ARE YOU READY NAVI? Because your reactions to Wrath were great.

[@carlotta4th]

"Holy shit" moments. 1. 3:39 Reveal of Wrath 2. 6:39 Martel attacks (or "Navi gets to wtf with the rest, now") closely followed by a 6:48 blood seal and 7:30 "it was HIM?!" 3. 10:22 Father 4. 12:10 "holy shit this guy has a family?"

[@Akiraspin]

The eye reveal is definitely the highlight of this episode for me. *heartbeat noises* *SHHHHIIIING* WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!!

[@Luunanori]

"Holy shit this dude has a family ?" *inhales*

[@shootermanplus1812]

Please make more of those commercial break screens! Perfect! Oh and Marketa, you're a champ

[@werfgh1]

can we have 2 episodes per week? that would be great, and I am pretty sure it will drive a bigger audience

[@Iam74YL0R]

One of the key differences in the two versions of the show is the homunculi. In the original FMA the homunculi were created when an alchemist tried to do human transmutation. Wrath in that version was actually the child of Ed and Al's teacher Izumi and had Ed's arm and leg. Another homunculus, Sloth, takes the form of Ed and Al's mother and was created by their attempt to bring her back. Obviously in FMA: Brotherhood and the original manga this is far different as in this episode it is revealed Wrath is Bradley and you saw a glimpse of Sloth who was clearly not a women. (Bradley is revealed very late on in the original FMA anime to be the homunculus Pride.)

[@H3X3M]

I can't wait for Navi to realize why this is FMABrotherhood...

[@douglas2938]

Watching Navi is the closest I'll ever get to see how I first reacted to it. We think we're OK until Bradley says his name and then we're in the dark again.

[@DogmaBeoulve]

AHAHAHAHAHAAH! Oh shit, the break/transition in the middle, that was great!

[@Xanshi]

I wished Navi would stop comparing Brotherhood from the original FMA. This series is how the manga was told. This is how the author envisioned the story.

[@ricefieldjim258]

I believe the 2003 run's story was under supervision of the author at all times as well. studios in japan usually respect author of the original work and consider their opinions first if the show ran out of materials, unless the author couldn't careless.

[@shizuwolf]

The 2003 series handle some of its characters better. Like the snake girl in this episode. In the 03 series, they gave you time to get to know her and how she effected past events before she’s killed.

[@SemiJuggaloNumber2]

hazel chu Actually, series creator, Hiromu Arakawa personally insisted that the show writers took a story detour. At the time the 2003 anime was airing, she still had a LOOONNNGG WAY to go before she was anywhere near finished with the manga.

[@kayrayouvmir5766]

Andre Ferreras if you wanna get the story Arakawa wanted to tell, you have to read the manga, cause Brotherhood is far from a perfect adaptation

[@malikbeat]

I just wish she would stop because it derails conversations. She has to make some type of reference to the fact that she watched the 2003 version every episode they review.

[@thedarkangelthe2]

Loved that transition card lol

[@sumvivus6199]

3:54 the way the black hair girl turning around to see everyone's reactions is so cute

[@z.z.1638]

After this episode FMAB will go towards a complete different direction thn the 2003 anime!

[@jbriggs06]

As Ed discovered he can't heal and harden at the same time...

[@DannyTanimoto]

Somebody already said this kind of, but Greed was focusing on healing instead of regenerating his shield.

[@AlessaParker]

XD That was the best reaction to Bradley's eye yet

[@Hardcorefencer96]

I hope they know that Brotherhood presents the real story that was developed in the source material (the Fullmetal Alchemist manga), while the Fullmetal Alchemist anime that Navi saw before only is true to the source material up to the first episodes. The anime that Navi saw had to come up with an original story when the anime episodes caught up to the manga chapter releases and subsequently didn't have the source material to produce the actual story the creator of the manga wanted to portray. Brotherhood did not have this problem because it was released years after the manga was fully published and finished.

[@BeWetLikeWater]

From this day forward things will just get better 😈

[@TheThegreatshinigami]

1:22 King Bradley and Major Armstrong look like they're about to drop the hottest mix tape of the year.

[@LMMotoss]

Love the new mid episode transition lawlz

[@JosephCartoons]

4:08 Wrath: "How many times am I going to have to kill you before you stay dead?" Alphonse: "I don't know, it's too dark to see in here" Thought that cut was funny

[@laytonpro8655]

This is the moment fullmetal alchemist (original series) and brotherhood change paths

[@Jjop017]

The anime doesn’t explain it as well, but the manga Bradley/Wrath was cutting Greed before he could finish covering his body in armor. In order for Greed to regenerate the damage he couldn’t use his armor. Like Ed said last episode Greed cannot heal and use his ultimate shield at the same time he has to choose one. Whenever Greed heals himself he can’t use his armor.

[@jbriggs06]

The Anime does explain it well. They just didn't remember from the last episode. Ed clearly stated he can't regenerate and harden at the same time.

[@TheRedFoxization]

"What the fuck was that !?" I've been waiting for this reaction

[@flyflip87]

So there's the ultimate spear=Lust ultimate sheild=Greed, ultimate eye=Wrath, shapeshifter=Envy, eater=Gluttony

[@coleton7048]

My boy Ling coming up next episode!

[@monotropa_uniflora]

I love how one of them has seen FMA and still thinks that's canon so she gives everyone the wrong leads.😂

[@camrosie]

I'M CRYING AT YOUR INTERLUDES

[@govind.m86]

It's great how Wrath is just so OP that everyone starts reading too much into his ability although the Ultimate Eye is probably the weakest ability of the bunch.

[@nateisler3]

This is refreshing seeing that none of you can predict where this is going from here lol. Bradley was Pride in the original FMA

[@ramen2032]

That intermission was great lol

[@vixevinweria8400]

The look Navi gave like she knows who father is because of FMA. LOL

[@ObaREX]

This is probably my favorite episode.

[@kebele14]

Finally everything is gonna change for things

[@ricefieldjim258]

New opening next week ayy

[@Step43099]

My least favorite opening out of the 5 honestly

[@abbas_hashem]

[@paulromero2937]

my favorite honestly

[@everbeltran8417]

*+Step B. SW223000* My least favorite is OP 3, but OP is a close second

[@ninjaboy4831]

Damn. It was just a Hologram...MY FAVORITE OP of FMA!

[@daphinence319]

8:30 u dont need an eye to read that, first he mentioned whether they traded information but they had no reaction and said no, then he mentioned their bodies and their whole faces lit up and they went silent, its very subtle though so yeah
