The Film Theorists you should do how much money did phineas and ferb has spent during their summer.
OMG THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!
Yes .. YES PLZ
Those two mustve spent more monwy than exist in our world
With Phineas and Ferb there is enough theory fodder to create whole channel and sustain it for years.
Guy Nino I THOUGHT OF THE SAME THING BUT THE QUESTION"how rich is phineas and ferb?".
Is no one going to mention the fact that king bradly is not immortal. It was a major thing that bradly could age and couldn’t regenerate and that flaw is the only reason that he was killed.
That wasn't a limitation of the stone, but a limitation of his human body. The same was likely going to be true of Greed.
Ik this is late but nobody mentioned that each homunculus got a different amount of souls so his calculation of Lust's amount of soul is wrong Lmao
@@Ivhn We actually don't have any confirmation on the number each received and he does mention in the video that he's assuming an equal number based on his own rationale.
@@Merennulli "That means each homunculus contains exactly 1/14th of souls that Father started with."
His assumption was that it was divided by 14 for the 7 sins and 7 virtues. He made no assumptions that each 7 sin got the same amount and there is a confirmation with King Bradly, didn't he mention how many souls he had to fight to keep ownership of the body?
Also he doesn't count the fact how many times Lust has died beforehand.
@@Sesshomaru474 8:39 "so we can assume-" he directly states that it's an assumption that the vices and virtues are equal and thus each of the 14 divisions are equal. Bradley didn't give a specific number. In Episode 26, Bradley calls them "countless" in the dub and "many" in the sub translations. Quite frankly, there's nothing to go off of one way or another to contradict or support his assumption. We know Father is stronger than Hoenheim since Hoenheim allegedly isn't good at fighting and has deposited an unknown number of philosopher stone souls to make his own circle, we know he had humans sacrificed for other experiments and could have added to his own stone over the years. We know he's been powering alchemy for all of Amestris. We know he created his own body the first time and like Hoenheim, his body hadn't aged before creating the Homunculi. We also don't see him suddenly become greedy when re-absorbing the first Greed. We don't know how many times he or Lust died prior to the series or what the running cost is. There are simply too many unknowns. But the assumptions Matpat made are plainly stated. We know it can't be accurate because of the unknowns, but he worked with what he had to make something he thought would be entertaining.
We. All. Know. This. That's the baseline assumption for this, or any other analysis of fiction, that the one speaking can only be as accurate as his assumptions and what the series gives us. And like most fiction, FMA plays fast and loose with the numbers. While it gives an exact number of souls in Hoenheim, every division is an unknown number, every power use is different enough not to give a baseline, and we have no idea how many other incidents they have been through or what their work costs them. A few examples: Sloth dies far more easily but has far more mass and has just spent a long time manually digging a tunnel. Pride is the "most powerful". Pride and Gluttony consume people, potentially adding to their power source. Gluttony was a failed experiment to create an eye of truth that has opened on a few occasions and connects to a void world of blood and ruins. Envy gets his powers back after being defeated through what should be far smaller stones, and survives without a stone because he's different in a vague way. There's no comparing energy use in-universe, so all he can work with is his assumption.
You forgot to take into consideration how much energy Lust uses to regenerate her Giorgio Armani low cut designer dress.

Fjord and Jester
I saw a comment saying that travis would go out of the room because he couldn’t bear hearing his wife scream when she voiced lust in agony
Actually, Lust died many times before that episode, so that complicates the calculations.
@@risulomusic maybe she died many times before the series
No one care
roy brown stop acting like a normie
Risulo Risulo
She still has to heal those stabs, so souls wasted.
And that new number can mean quite a lot and can show that souls contains much more power/energy than Mat’s current calculations.
she was most likely killed and stabbed a lot more than what was shown on screen as well
Maybe I'm an idiot, but Lust's fight with Mustang wasn't the only time she took damage. If we're assuming souls are used up when they're used to heal, she would have less than the 38,000 at the beginning of the fight. Technically, depending on if she took damage off screen, she could have a LOT less. So, There is still hope for you, Immortal Theorist.
And as well the homunculi have been around for centuries, so surely a lot of souls were used up in that time too
Perhaps it's not that the souls themselves are used up, but that their energy is consumed. He might better have said some odd number "souls' worth of energy". I make this distinction because there is the possibility that she's restoring her energy (but not the souls. Or maybe the souls?) through some unknown means. It's been a long time since I've watched the show, but this is my explanation as to why Matpat can make his calculation from one scene. Just one more thing to consider.
@@Yashael341 But You should take into account that a philosopher stone stores the souls as energy, thus, the amount souls and energy are equivalent (because they are the same thing). So, the more energy Lust consumes the more souls she’s using up. We also know that she has to consume those souls to stay alive for that long and to transmute, so the amount of souls Roy would have consumed would’ve been far less than what Mat had calculated, regardless.
Yeah, like just earlier for example he ripped the stone out of her, destroying 1 whole body as well
We can argue equivalency of souls and energy (actually this argument convinced me to rewatch the series, I'm just not to that point yet), but the point still stands that in the intervening years, the homunculi may have "replenished" their energy somehow. I don't think it was ever stated that they only had what was contained in their stones at conception. If so, I'm sure they would've used that all up just living as long as they did.
MatPat had to make at least some assumptions here in order to have anything to calculate at all.
Minor problem with MatPat’s Math: Lust actually regenerates 11 times, two before the great roast
three, actually, if you count the time mayes hughes daggers her face.

"the great roast"
That made my day, thank you.
I think the value of a soul would probably be closer to 490 terajoules, to account for that and any other off screen regeneration
Can we appreciate how Roy could kill 4,256 people with ONE BLAST!?
Isn't that what he was doing on war anyway many times?
Aren't those people already dead? Y'know,with the whole "soul sacrifice" thing?

Well souls not people
I love how Mattpat uses soul eater souls for this
Same
I miss soul eater, I hope it comes back eventually
@@Sparrow_Bloodhunter amen
@@chrisdenke2914 so I looked it up, the average 13 episode anime costs 2 million dollars to produce. soul eater was a 50 episode series meaning it likely costed 10 million to make. now if they choose to remake it like they did with fullmetal alchemist brotherhood they'd likely have to double it's runtime to fit all the content that is missing from the manga, therefore it would likely cost 20 million dollars to produce a 100 episode remake of soul eater. if you happen to know any millionair weebs maybe try asking them to remake it, unfortunately I only know poor people.

Just wanted to add that while Father (aka Homunculus) TRIED to purge himself of the Seven Deadly Sins (heavy emphasis on TRIED), he still retained a trace amount of them: He desires for becoming a perfect being (Lust); devours souls with no self-control (Gluttony); seeks power at all costs (Greed); prefers to let others do his bidding for him while being incredibly incompetent and doing little to nothing to further his own goals over hundreds of years (Sloth); feels anger towards any opposition, principally Hohenheim (Wrath); has a desire for a family like humans (Envy); views humans as "ants" (Pride). However, given the general vagueness of these behaviors, as well as his dispassionate demeanor compared to both prior to the creation of and after the death of the homunculi, seems to imply that he did get himself purged of his sins.
"Of course this wasn't what the creator intended, but damn it, we're exploring it anyway" 10/10

Thats just wrong, the only thing we can do is teach them the right way, not joking about it. Yeah i know you probably made this comment as a joke but for me this kind of thing is a problem to our community.
But hey its just a theory, A FILM THEORY
I'm fully aware of that fact now- a year later- from when this comment was made. I originally made it as a joke. And I agree it is a problem in the anime community.
ok but like this is incredibly inaccurate, the hummonculi constantly feed off of the stone to stay alive and every time lust has used her powers, every second she's existed and every time she's died has slowly been draining her stone, so we can't know for sure how much a soul is really worth
plus, roy burned her before she fully regenerated every single blast
3:57 Maybe then you'll finish Doctor Who part 3!
didn't you forget to calculate the energy loss over the years before the series began and the energy spent on all of her regenerations during the show?
Alex Odom The only thing that changes is that his calculations only result in the MINIMUM amount of energy, which still isn’t a bad baseline to calculate
Plus if it’s adding mass would her stabby fingers use up souls?
That would barely add up to anything
If that was true, it would actually increase the power of souls, by lowering the amount used up to do the same task, meaning there would be more power per soul in that case.
She did die a couple times before mustang killed her

Although the calculations seem legit here, there are some reasons that the whole theory could be wrong. for instance, Roy could likely not have been the first person to ever have injured lust enough to make her regenerate which means the estimate energy of a human soul could be wrong.
Another instance, all the homunculus were at least 60+ which meant a certain amount of energy had to be used for their survival.
But otherwise this is a great video!
I imagine that since a person can live ~100 years off of just one soul. The conversion would be the same during periods of time where regeneration / powers aren't being used.

You are assuming Lust's first death was Mustang's first explosion. Since she's lived for hundreds of years, it's possible she's died before. You are also forgetting that Father has created more than 7 homunculi, as he re-creates them every time one of them dies.
I actually punched my computer when I saw your image, that's strangely reallistic
Tomas Roque i was thinking about that. And she use the stone to activate her claws too. The estimative of the video stand for a minimum energy.
Tomas Roque also the fact that we actually witnessed Hughes get a headshot on Lust with a knife. Though it wasn't a confirmed "kill", she looked pretty dead to me before she revived.
A headshot with a knife is, at least with MatPats calculations, way easier to repair than half a body. Not saying anything against that she probably has died more than seven times, just that the amount of damage done to the body is important for the calculation based on mass, not the death itself. Even damage done by aging could be more expensive to repair over the span of multiple years than a simple knife to the head.
I'm not sure that the stone's have a fixed amount of energy either. I always assumed that they got overloaded by having to repeatedly regenerate in a short time, because there is a scene where gluttony uses up all his regeneration but survives, and later in the show has regeneration again. You could say father just gave him more souls, but that would also be assuming.
This is a really good theory, don't get me wrong, and I will insta-click on anything FMA from this channel, but I'm pretty sure Lust uses up her souls way more often then just her fight with Mustang. Hughes stabs her in the head with a throwing knife, Hawkeye shoots her 24 ish times, not to mention that she is 250 years old. That still doesn't account for anytime she used her stone in the past. To be fair though, it would be basically impossible to factor all that in, and just to reiterate, I really liked this theory a LOT. Keep up the good work!
Yeah agreed. There's no way she never had to regenerate before this, she's definitely used some power over the centuries.
i would guess that she already used around 2/5th of her stone before last fight.
Yeah, that's exactly what I was going to say.
Not to mention it's implied some got WAY more souls than others! It's implied Sloth got hardly any, and he dies after much less damage than any other, where as Pride, Gluttony, and Envy all got a lot more souls transmuted into them in the name of his "experiments".
i was just about to say that, good call out man.
Mat is forgetting the fact that lust also had to use some of the souls to repair damage before the fight and the amount of souls she needs to live that long
Nice job. After 10 years, you have been the ONLY one to make me use highschool chemistry. Yay, glad I learned stoichiometry just so I could follow along with this video. XD
You're not taking in consideration her past "deaths"
How could he do that??
I didn't see this but I commented the same thing
He's calculated the energy needed to regenerate her whole body, even so, he forgot the time Mustang ripped the stone out of her chest and she regenerated around it, so instead of dividing by 9 it should have been 10
@@andy54668 by taking into account her age (between 200 and 400 years) , the "recycle rate" of our body (how long it takes for your body to fully "shed" (dead cells etc.) which is about 5 years if i remember correctly, meaning that every atom in your body gets replaced within five years except for those in teeth and some neurons etc.) so you can find how many times she had to "regenerate" her body to live past a normal human life expectancy , even if it was atom by atom rather than the full regenerative thing when she gets burned .

Hi MatPat. You probably won't see this but I just want to say thank you for making these videos. I've been watching them for about a year now and no matter how upset I am, your intro music and your upbeat tone always make me feel better. So..just thank you.
i feel the same way! how are you doing 4 years later?
7:00, well, considering most of the people he's talking about are, ya know, DEAD.
I highly doubt he's exactly maintaining a stable relationship. Dunbar's number (which is actually averaged by most to be around 150) is about stable *relationships*. So not just their name, but who they are, what they do, and how they relate to and interact with everyone else you also maintain a stable relationship with.
He's just learning their names, a single giant shopping list. That has to do entirely with long-term memory and his ability to recall such memories.
Dicerson Almost. The souls are still living inside Von Hoenhime. He has conversations with them. Just before he brags to Father about how he learned the names of each and every one of them, he lists off about 7 names and then details what they did in life. A flourish, a son wanting to take over the family business, etc...
However, the you are right in saying he isn't maintaining a "relationship" with them. It would be more like a king who knows the name of all of his subjects. He would know who they are and what they do, but could move on to learn about someone else. He isn't inviting them to dinner or anything, its just intell gathering from disembodied conciousnesses.
Accurate or not. I couldn't imagine memorizing over 100,000 names. Heck I can barley remember the names of everyone at my work place.
Dicerson 536,000 is a number never even counted to by a human, it's not possible to remember that many NAMES
Dicerson as Matt said, there's a limit to what a human mind can do.
but for every name he must remember he has a extra soul of power
This is a decent theory, I was with you, until you totally skipped over the other times Lust was killed before Mustang killed her all those times
Vainquisher Exactly... I stopped watching from there onwards. Plus Father is still making Philosophers Stones, so it's hard to get the actual number of souls
Yup, I thought of this also. Not a bad idea to try to calculate but not very accurate in execution.
I was thinking this too :/
Vainquisher thank you
All so you have to take in count that before Mustang showed it Riza was shooting Lust over and over again until she ran out of ammo.
10:59 is it me or did Mat just rap a small bit
Kinda
So the soul they were missing was just incredible amounts of energy that would allow the transmutation to come together correctly. I still feel the their mother would have very bad memory loss in the end though.

You say it's impossible to maintain a stable relationship with that many people, and it is. However, he didn't have to maintain a stable relationship, he just said he learned their names.
as a no life minecraft player its pretty hard to remember every player name ( i know about 50,000 player names that are 16 characters long containing letters and numbers and theoretically i met 150,000 players indirectly or directly ) but i would still say its possible as long as you spent a minimum of 5 hours for each person
Actually he probably learned there name convinced the should to help him and than moved on to the next one there is no memorization involved.
He's has like 400 years to talk to them.
TheStrangeFishlikeEntity he said he made relationships whith them if you watched the anime ,they are the ones who help him to beat father
AJ GAMING he is an adult not a kid though
If I made a philosopher's stone I might be able to live long enough to see half life 3.
u wont
Axel paxel or KH3
they confirmed it is dead, rip
Maybe you'd long long enough to make a better joke
half life 3 is dead. Dota 2 is far more important and superior
Matpat:
How much is a soul worth?
Red skull:
Best I can do is 1 soul stone
If only you realized that not only did lust use alchemical energy constantly to change her weapon fingers, and also has died several times even on screen, not to mention how many times she must have died off screen.
1:57 be careful MatPat you don't want any weeb hate for calling a manga a comic
well lets not BE hateful, we're just the ones trying to avoid it.
It's been awhile, plus he's been doing more dc and marvel then anime. So I won't be salty. 😜
SuperKamiGuru If only he said Manwha
isnt it though
SuperKamiGuru oh no the *"HORROR!"*
Matpat: Serious Spoilers ahead
Me: Well good thing Ive watched the whole show...twice
lol 4 times
only twice? those are rookie numbers
true true
0 times😸😝
9 times nd manga 4 times
So what is the real reason why Ed is short, in the show we are introduced to multiple possibilities, he doesn’t like milk, his body is connected to Al’s and his auto mail is stunting his growth, but we never get a definitive answer, so I’m curious what other people think.
no reason, some people are short. probably genetics. and ya automail plays and important role. also I've heard working out very early as a teen will reduce your growth not sure about the scientific accuracy. fighting in army probably is the reason.
"Today it is my goal, to calculate the strength of a human soul"
Its so genius it even rhymes!!!!!
Him: original comics
Me: ITS CALLED MANGA!!!!!
THANK YOUU been waiting for someone to say this.
i just call them Japanese comics
I call tgem right left weeb dictionaries
Typical Profile okay not gonna lie i laughed
MANGA ARE COMICS. Manga just is the Japanese term for comic
One problem with your calculation is it assumes that Lust's "battery" was at 100% when she encountered Mustang even though we already know she has been using it, obviously to live, and also to use her powers as a homunculus. You also neglect the obvious signs of losses when regenerating, like all the light and arcing we see as homunculus regenerate, and assume that the stone is completely efficient when being used.
.........well shit
That and all the time she was alive.
So, since cells in our body replace themselves entirely every 4 days to 1 year ( 8 year for fat, which she didnt obviously have that much ;) ), we can assume that she replaced herself every 6 months. That makes up about 500 COMPLETE regenerations throughout her lifespan. So it didnt took 9 bodies for the souls to be burnt, but 509!
And that asssumes that untill she met Mustang noone has ever injured her before, or each of these regenerations would have to be accounted for too.
But one can assume that they didn't use souls to stay alive by "regenerating" dead cells spending soul energy but just by physiological processes like eating, breathing, etc. So they would only need to spend one soul per average lifespan of their respective available ones. That would account for 3 to 5 souls throughout her 250 years lifetime
that intro was so well written the best written intro youve done man
Dunbar's Number is based on having a stable relationship with every single person
You can learn every word in the dictionary easier than you can learn the words and definitions
Not to mention those are just words not complex organisms with feelings
He learned there names not their likes and dislikes
But he did kind of learn about each person, hence why he talks about the kid who wanted to be an academic, the builder and his son and their relationship, the guy who was fired from the restaurant for feeding a poor man who couldn't pay. Hoenheim learned about each person trapped within him and it was more than just their names
@@RMills646 I don't think logic applies to a 500 year old immortal man lol
What about envy?
Kevin Pereira exactly what I was thinking envy is so dense because of his actually size condensed into the size of a 15 year old boy and you can't get an accurate reading of how much power a human soul has when you can't understand the power alchemy has or its affects it's all theoretical
Kevin Pereira and it pisses me off
Hmm well can't envy absorb the souls and mass of different living beings? His true form is that of a slug, but if he kept absorbing other bodies, he should have more mass and energy than the other homunculus. He did that during the end of the series, where he went around and absorbed the white homunculus to recharge his stone. I believe he also tried to do this to Ed and Ling, when they were eaten by gluttony.
Lust has already been alive for 200 years before her death. How many souls were lost in that large amount of time? Surely her death was not the only time she was forced to use her philosopher stone?
Once you have calculated these numbers, are they consistent with the damage the other homonculi took? It seems like Sloth and Gluttony were killed far easier.
I am also not convinced that Father was generous enough to give each of his children 1/14th of his souls. Despite having purged himself, he still has many of these sinful traits inside him, especially pride. If father had removed all the sinful souls, then he would have been unable to regenerate Gluttony in a way that he was still gluttonus.
A better way to calculate this would have been to have measured the amount of energy it took to kill Hoenheim. We know for certain how many souls he was given and we know that he only used souls when it was absolutely necessary. We even know exactly how many souls he took out to make his giant transmutation circle because he addresses them by name.
Tanner Tolman Asuuming that she lived for 400 years, and assuming she didn't eat,
For the lifespan assuming the fma world is in the 1900 because of the lights then 400 years ago would be 1500. Then the average lifespan would be about 60 years. She has lived 6.66 souls
You lose about 5 pounds a week water fasting so add a few more pounds because of no water and to 8 pounds.
1 year = 52 weeks
400x52=20800 weeks
20800x8= 166400 pounds
Since E=mc2 that equals 24920064x10 to the 20th power of joules
That's 2492006400000000 terajoules of energy
That number divided by 654 is 3,810,407,339,449 souls. So she should of died a long time ago if she didn't eat cause she only has about 38,000 souls. But that's assuming that she didn't eat.
And I'm an eight grader who is drinking Gatorade at 1 am on a weekend so most of this is probably wrong because I didn't check.
How many souls would she have burned if she did eat?
Whitney Tolman 6.66 souls
Also, didnt lust died from hydrogen explosion before Mustang started roasting her?
That and Mustang ripped the stone out of her forcing her to regenerate her entire body.
I don't recall if it was covered in brotherhood or not, but I seem to recall that alchemy was inferred to be the catalyst for disasters in our dimension in the original anime's finale. I could be wrong because I haven't seen it in years. Love the video!
FMA was my first anime. My older brother kept bugging me to watch it and finally I said okay when he ask me to watch the first episode of brotherhood with him. After that I watched through all of FMA and then FMA:Brotherhood. I’ve loved anime since then
I think there's a better point of reference. Lust has been alive for several hundred years and has had to regenerate many times. She wouldn't be close a full 1/14th of the souls, and we have no way of knowing how used up her stone is. I think a better reference would be when Ed gets impaled and uses his own soul to heal himself. He states that it'll take a few years off his life, so maybe 1/20th of a soul, and from the area of the would you could estimate he probably has to regenerate around 250 grams of flesh to stop himself from bleeding out. Using your calculation as a base, 250 grams = 2 786 141 tera joules/280 = 9 950 tera joules = 1/20th of a soul. 1 soul = 199 010 tera joules of energy. This is about 300 times more than your estimate, which given the fact that those last few minutes likely made up a fraction of her souls makes some sense. It's a much more self-contained example; maybe very wrong, but another interpretation. Still, loved the episode, as always.
Film Theory... My favorite anime. With the Theorist Alchemist FullMetal MatPat.
Lazy Ninja matweeb or Anipat
Lazy Ninja why not fullmetal pat instead
funny thing is, i just finished the series a few minutes ago
READY STEADY CAN'T HOLD ME BACK
READY STEADY GIVE ME GOOD LUCK
READY STEADY NEVER LOOK BACK
LET'S GET STARTED READY STEADY GO
He's a full metal theorist indeed . secretly working with alchemy and metal as we speak .. All in the name of theories and replacing fleshy meat limbs
Me: sees thumbnail.
My soul with a price tag over its neck:definautelly millions.
If father purged himself of all his sins then how come he is still evil
Technically, father is not really that evil. We see in the end that he just desired supreme knowledge
albert has left the server
I’d argue he just got ride of everyone else’s evil, which they rudely foisted upon him the day he devoured all their souls like tic tacs.
He still had plenty of his own. After all - he ate all those souls like so many chocolate bars all on his own.
One soul... shows a soul eater soul...
I was expecting a soul eater joke... 😞
Smile all the while best anime ever!😍
i want a soul eater video...just not sure what it could be about hmm why madness give such a boost? i should read more of soul eater Not to see about sid dearth and how he came back as a zombie.
midnightghost_2
OMG YESSS
Not much...trust me, like £2.54?
Katgamer 66 wow that much, mines worth like 6p
The Film Theorists _ Hmm
Katgamer 66
More like $3.17
They give me 2 in gamestop
Mine is more like £-6,45
The only problem with your math at 5:00 is that there is no way to account for the energy Lust expended *before* appearing on the show.
I LOVE how he uses the souls from Soul Eater lol, another one of my favs, so its an all in one
3:58 As a person who is 600+ episodes in One Piece... I recommend a Philosopher Stone MatPat... It will be of use to you... One Piece will never end.
oda said the wants to finish the manga as soon as possible in the near future in an interview a couple of days ago
He also said that Dressrosa was only about 60-70% of the story complete. I recon he'll finish about chapter 1100 or so.
Speaking of things that never end, what sorcery do you use to get so many likes on your comments everywhere you go, ninja? That's the real mystery
One Piece is my favorite anime/manga.. I hope it never ends even though that's impossible
I am just mind blown that One Piece actually does have an ending. I have watched it for years and just thinking about the fact that one day it will end is crazy.
Hey Matpat I just watched Dumbo and was wondering how big would his ears have to be to actually fly or if its possible at all. Cause you know "I've seen about everything when I see an elephant fly".
I would be interested in that!
A rough answer to your question is 15m (49ft) wingspan for a small 300kg (660 lbs) elephant, but the actual answer would include how fast Dumbo can take off and fly, so it would be between 0m (0ft) and 25m (82ft)
CRIMAFUYT You're not MatPat. Only MatPat does science here. Come back when you're MatPat.
5:00 well not exactly because she used it previously to live for a few hundred years and that’s not even mentioning how much it could of been used when they where still in father
I just want to thank you Matpat. With your first FMA Theory you've made me curious so i started to watch Full Metall Alchemist. I never thought it would become one of my favourite tv show but it did. And now i can enjoy it, appreciate it and watch it til' the end of my life. All thanks to you.🤟🤗
Ps. Omg Roy Mustang is the coolest! I could watch the scene were hes burning Lust a thousand times!
Capturing and consigning 500k souls to eternal damnation?
Damn, the Fullmetal Alchemist universe is darker than anything IRL xD
SinerAthin These prostitute spam bots are even darker than that
SinerAthin and more darker than that is warhammer 40k
That suffering lasted for only a limited time though, unlike the eternal damnation of the souls.
I mean, ask yourself this
Would you rather die 60 times over in various gruesome ways?
Or die once, but have your soul consigned to suffer eternally in a never ending agony past the universe's end?
SinerAthin
And then there's Negan
SinerAthin I
I would assume that memorizing the names of half a million people people becomes _slightly_ easier when their souls are *literally* laid bare to you, every day, decade after decade.
As much as I love FMA, that's the one point that annoyed me. He should have gone insane from the sheer amount of voices speaking to him. Same with Father (Father was one of the shadows from beyond the gate, given form by H's blood)...so Father's definition of sanity is a bit off. (His ending - "I just wanted to have all the world's knowledge! What did I do wrong?" made me think of a mad scientist trying something ethical and then justifying it.)
Watch FMA again, they're both clearly insane.
Dont Misunderstand me when I say that's basically what happened.
Not only that, the human brain can hold a lot of information, about 2.5 petabytes (or a million gigabytes), and considering he merely mentioned memorising every name of these people within him, thus they speak/connect with him everyday, I'd say it's possible
Also, he's not maintaining RELATIONSHIPS, he's just memorized the names, so Dunbar's number doesn't really apply.
I watched this at the time I was rewatching the series for the 4th time and this changed my view on the show HEAVILY.
Bro the intro was fire, I already know i am gonna watch it like 3billion times
