Pretty sure he had a huge ptsd moment, after losing his home and family. I think the biggest trigger for him was tbe rockbells blue eyes which he saw in the amestrian soilders.
Yeah, Scar woke up with a lot of trauma and shock, and was probably in a somewhat confused state when he saw the Rockbells and just assumed they were the enemy.
Don't underestimate how fast Ling is, he was literally not that far off from Bradley when Bradley is not totally seriously fighting to the death, says the manga artist in an interview.
Its really quick, but when scar freezes it flashes an image of kimblee. In the moment, Scar felt like he was in Kimblee's position as the agressor, while Ed was more like his brother in that moment. It may not have been enough to sway his views, but it made him hesitate.
Exactly this. The problem isn't just that he sees Ed and Winry as himself and his brother, but that he realizes he has now become the very man he blamed for the loss of his family and homeland.
19:17 scar was having PTSD( post-traumatic stress disorder) every single amestrian soldier he had seen kill countless people had blue eyes, he woke up covered in blood with his brothers arm ATTACHED to him then he saw the blue eyes of the rockbells and it triggered him, giving him flashbacks of everything he had seen. After seeing winry he DOES regret what he did to the rockbells.
Stoked how you’re live watching/reacting to two of the most highly praised and critically-acclaimed shounen series at the same time. Keep these coming and hope you had a great weekend 🔥
2:51 That's more of a testament to Ling's abilities and Wrath underestimating him at first. These two are the best swordsmen in the series; Wrath outclasses him in raw power and skill, but Ling is more versatile and a better tactician.
This episode is amazing. Not only does it explain why Scar killed Winry’s parents, it explores the cycle of violence, and begins showing the parallels between Scar and his brother and Ed and Al.
kimbee has one circle in each hand hand when he claps it forms a new transmutation circle that make things blow up and that´s different from seeing the truth, and just wait
About Bradley's eye : he can't use his Ouroboros-eye with his eyepatch on it. It's a great eye that allows him to see his opponents' weaknesses, but it can't see through matter ; he has to see normally with it to use it. He first didn't remove his eyepatch against Ling to not throw away his cover ; but since he underestimated him and got blinded by the flash grenade, he didn't have any other choice to stop him. As his second eye was protected from the light by the patch he could use it after the flash.
9:27 I'm happy you understand. So many people say scar was horrible for killing her but you could tell when he killed her he felt genuine remorse for what had happened to her. He didn't just kill her out of bloodlust he did it so that she would not have to suffer anymore.
One of the fundamentals of alchemy is the transmutation circle. Most alchemists need to draw a circle on the ground, but some of the more combat minded alchemists have either tattoos of transmutation circles on their hands (like Kimblee) or patterns on their gloves (Mustang and Armstrong) to save time. People who have seen the Gate of Truth like Ed and Al and their master don't need either of those, they can just clap their hands together. Not sure if you've found out why that works or not, but if its not then its a slight spoiler so i won't say. It's really not that complicated honestly once you find out haha.
Scar didn't just see his brother protecting him in Ed, he also saw himself as the villain, as the person who killed his own brother. How the tables have turned. In the eyes of these kids, he is the monster. Notice how Scar's memories seem to be removed from reality in some parts. All the marching Amestrian soldiers have the same face. They have the same blond hair and glowing, dead-looking blue eyes. I think this was a great, subtle way to show how PTSD can screw with someone's memories. The mind has a way of shutting down to protect itself, and it can later repair those memories in a way that makes sense, but is removed from reality. When he woke up, he didn't see two doctors. He saw two pairs of the same bright blue eyes, and he attacked. He knew what he was doing, in the sense he did mean to kill them, but he wasn't aware of what that meant. Wasn't aware where he was and whom he was really attacking. The alchemy Ed, Al and their teacher does is special because they don't have ANY transmutation circles drawn on their bodies or clothes, hidden or otherwise. I'm pretty sure Izumi explained that as her body becoming the actual circle when she presses her hands together. All other people we have seen who do alchemy in a similar way have a circle drawn somewhere. Roy has them on his gloves. Major Armstrong has them on his gauntlets. The guy we see in this episode (the guy from the prison in episode 1) has them tattooed inside his palms. I always thought that since they are tattoos and not something he can take off, it was a safety measure to tattoo two halves of the same circle on different palms. That way he can only transmute when he brings them together and completes the matrix.
Each transmutation circle is for a unique alchemic transmutation. An alchemist can do any kind of transmutation they like by drawing different circles. However, it's better to have them drawn on your hands or gloves during combat to save time. This limits what alchemists can do during combat unless they've been through the portal of truth which allows them to just press their hands together and do any transmutation without a circle. This is all I can say right now but there's more to understand about the portal
The regular end credits scene episode list reminder, I will stop posting this if you don't want me to "There are a lot of post-credits scenes actually. These are all the episodes with scenes after the credits: 6, 8, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33, 36, 40, 42, 43, 44, 46, 48, 49. And yeah besides those the endings of episodes 45, 54, 63, and 64 are different. :D" - u/Ev3r_95 via Reddit (FullMetal Alchemist Subreddit)
Huh, didn't think this before but some Alchemists have been shown to paint Alchemic tatoos on their hands while others like Mustang and Armstrong do so on Glove and Gauntlet, when circle is drawn on other object that object is then seen as tool just like shovel or gun while people who paint it to their skin accept they ARE weapons themself.
I’m sure Winry understands that Ed and Al have to face danger being with the military. She comes from a military family. Her parents were killed and they were doctors.
Winry's family isn't in the military at all, but in medicine and automails. Her parents were dragged into the war because the military lacked doctors at the front so they requisitionned almost all the doctors of the eastern sector (remember that the ones in the town where Dr Marcoh took refuge were requisitionned too). And Winry knows that Ed and Al are involved in dangerous stuff only since episodes 15/16 when they hear about Hughes' death. In episode 6 Pinako says to Armstrong that they didn't send a single letter to give news, and in episode 9 when she repairs Ed's automail arm in the hospital, Winry clearly says that she doesn't know why she asks him what happened, as he never bothers to tell her anything. State alchemists that aren't truely part of the military like Mustang, Armstrong or Gran aren't supposed to fight in times of (relatively) peace but focus on their researches, so that's probably what she was thinking they did before realizing the truth recently.
@@lazyshoggy Many Americans were dragged into wars (the draft for example) and were part of the military as such. This is not an argument against them being part of the military because they were forced into it. Ed became a dog of the military in a time of peace and the alchemists participated in domestic troubles all of the time. As far as Winry’s ignorance about Ed and Al being in danger, as early as episode two she expresses her hatred for the military because of the danger it puts people involved with them in, like with her parents. “I hate soldiers like you. Soldiers are the reason my mom and dad left for the war and soldiers are the reason they’re dead. And now you’re... now you’re here to take Ed and Al away too.”
@@MrQabalist When people say : "I come from a military family", you expect that many, if not most of their family members enlisted by themselves in the army and made career in it. You don't expect that just two of them were taken by force to do a job that has nothing to do with regular soldiers. You don't use that expression if your family member did the minimum that was required for everybody, and because it was that or being jailed for desertion. Or else it would mean that everybody come from military families. It makes no sense. (*) In episode 2 Winry is upset because Ed and Al may leave her alone with Pinako. She already lost her parents and now she is going to loose her closest friends too, not because they are going to die on a batllefield but because they will have no time to share with her anymore. It's no fun to have only a grandma to live with when you are 12, even if you love her. In episode 6 too when she looks at Ed sleeping, she finds it funny that he could be used as a human weapon. It's not something you find funny when you know it is currently happening, even more when your parents died because of that ! (*) SPOILERS Armstrong clearly comes from a military family. Although he could have been part of the military with his state alchemist status only, he chose to fully enlist and climb the ladder the regular way. He and his sister among 5 children, their father too (who actually was the highiest rank aviable before he retired - no general at the time of the anime reached this rank yet) made a full career in the military. And as always with the Armstrong, it is a tradition passed down on the family for generations (like, among others, their combat alchemy skills). Nothing to do with Winry's parents.
@@lazyshoggy Sure you can have that expectation that someone from a military family family had a member join voluntarily and it be true, but it need not be so. Also just because someone is a field medic does not mean they are not part of the military. 🤷🏼♂️ There are various divisions and jobs in the military. A military family is defined in the U.S. for example as “Immediate family members related by blood, marriage, or adoption to a current member of the U.S. armed forces, including one who is deceased.” In episode two Winry clearly explains why she is upset with the military. Now they are here trying to get Ed and she does not care to have him put into such danger. She understands him being a dog of the military puts him in danger. She knew that before he joined. She did not find out years afterwards.
Those who see Truth can perform Alchemy without transmutation circles, they don't need the help of outside sources. Professional/State Alchemists that haven't seen truth all have circles tattooed on their bodies or have special equipment to aid in the process. Example: Kimbly (guy who killed Scar's family) has tattoos on his palms, Armstrong has metal gauntlets with circles engraved on the fists, and Mustang has his ignition gloves that have sewn in circles.
22:26 this is a theme that’ll be touched in following episodes. It’s really interesting and you definitely enjoy it. As always I really enjoy your reactions. This episodes, and Ed’s words to Winry always make me tear up. Such a good story.
Alchemy requires a circle, but alchemists who have seen the Truth (gone through the big door in the white void) seem to learn how to do it just using their hands pressed together as the circle. In order to quickly use alchemy those who have not seen the Truth have circles on them somewhere. Roy has his gloves, Kimbly and the Silver Alchemist had theirs tattooed on their palms, Armstrong and Isaak The Freezer put the circles on their glove/bracer. Alchemy seems to be treated as a science, so it would make sense that a really skilled alchemist should be able to learn how to transmute using the handclap method, but I don't think anyone is shown doing that in this show. FWIW I think the homunculi use two terms when talking about the alchemists, there are sacrifices, and sacrifice candidates. Ed is a sacrifice. Roy is a candidate for sacrifice. My guess is candidate means the homunculi suspect an alchemist may be strong enough to have opened the portal, but they don't know for sure if the alchemist has done so.
Father doesn’t give a crap about the dog chimera. He already successfully created more humanoid chimeras, and chimeras are nothing special in comparison to Homunculus
Most of the state alchemists have transmutation circles imprinted on their equipment or hands so they don't have to physically draw a circle everytime. However, a circle is like a formula so they can only do a particular type of alchemy quickly of which the transmutation circles or formulae are. Ed, Al and Izumi have knowledge from the truth to just conveniently makes formula in their body by putting hands together and do any kind of alchemy. For example: 1. Roy can use his flame alchemy with his gloves but not any other. I'm pretty sure an alchemist at his level can do other basic/simple stuff but he has to draw circles/formulae for those manually. 2. Ed can do pretty much anything without manually drawing a circle as long as he knows how to do it i.e. he understands the chemistry/physics/math/biology behind it.
9:40 no there is no way to change them back. Here is how this works in very basic terms: Nina and alexander were broken down then some "pieces" of each of them were combined to create the chimera, any "pieces" not used in the chimera basically disappear, so the chimera is only HALF of each of them. Not an exact in depth summary but a very basic version.
Kimblee didn't see the truth, he just has two transmutation circles on his palms. When he claps his hands the two tattoos form a complete circle just like how Al used to have to draw a circle before getting his memory back. Kimblee just doesn't have to draw it because of the tattoos. Same with Roy, he has his circle stitched into his gloves so he never has to draw a circle. Ed and Izumi on the other hand have seen the truth, which lets them use alchemy even though they don't have any kind of circle. Their knowledge lets them be their own circle by clapping.
I'm going to explain a bit of this out because there are a number of things people understand and know with the scene with Ed getting in-front of Winery and it triggering Scar, but can't fully explain. None of the below gives spoilers, just gives words to what is at the tip of the tongue. Note that there may be some grammar or spelling issue, having a bit of migraine. 1. Ed protecting Winery is like Scar's brother protecting Scar. That's why it overlays Ed and Winery over Scar's brother and Scar. 2. Scar attacking Ed/Winery is like the Crimson Alchemist attacking the brother and Scar. It made Scar hesitate because he glimpsed that he may have became the monster he seeked to destroy. That's why it overlay's Scar over the Crimson Alchemist. It's something that Scar had acknowledged, that he's gone down the path of hatred, but hadn't fully realized, if that makes sense. What Scar does with that realization, or if he'll do anything with it, is yet to be seen, all we know is that he is thrown off by it. A further parallel is that Ed gave up his right arm to save his brother just as Scar's brother gave up his right arm to save his brother. Both Scar and Ed's homes are destroyed, but while Ed has chosen the path to restore what he lost, Scar has resolved to seek revenge against the power that destroyed his people. None of that Scar knows, but its information we know, which is why that scene hit so hard. In some ways they are the same story, more specifically the same myth, but played out in two different circumstances. There are a lot of differences between the two, you can't really blame Scar for what he did, he lost everything. He wasn't really in the right state of mind when he killed Winery's parents and you can see he has regret for what he has done, he was in a state of frenzy. There's a good chance that if Scar would have been sedated, he wouldn't have killed Winery's parents. As shown in a previous episode, his main gripe are with state alchemists and those who were involved in the Ishvalan war of extermination. You get in his way he'll mess you up, but if you stay out of it, he doesn't have business with you. When we first saw Ed and Al in that confrontation, there's no reason to doubt that when Ed made his deal with Scar to spare Al for Ed's life that Scar wouldn't actually follow through on it, because well, Al wasn't a state alchemist, and also because Scar does seem to have a moral code he abides by. Ed, on the other hand, he had Granny, Al, and Winery to stop him from going down such a path. Regardless, I don't think he'd go down the path of Scar, Ed is just a different person and its a way different circumstance, but that's more to say that Scar lost anyone that could have brought him back from the path of revenge. This is also why that scene with Winery hits so hard, Winery is tempted to go down that path and has the gun ready to pull the trigger, but she has Ed to save her and remind her that her hands aren't meant for killing, they are meant for giving life. Winery and Scar aren't wrong in their hatred and want for revenge, but as is the question the show asks, at what cost? What do you have to give up, what is the equivalent exchange? To be blunt, this is the Shonen power of friendship trope, but executed perfectly. Also kind of shows you what happens when your friends and family are all killed and how that can create a cycle of violence. And that ends my Ted Talk.
15:00 that scene Kimble guy his drawings in his palms for transmutation circle, not claping hands like ed, al or their teacher. But A transmutation cicrle must contains some symbols to make alchemy work, for exp: roy's circle has salamander in it becouse salamander associated with fire. But if a person saw the truth, doesnt need symbols but needs a circle. when they clap their hands they make a circle with their arms. and their knowlage becomes the symbols they need. thats the reason. they see the truth and they know much more than other people
Just remember their time line and ours aren't the same. Just like in Fallout. Things just develop different b/c of a butterfly effect. Takes 1 pebble in pond to change things. One right turn instead of a left to change history.
@23:01 Well that is a LONG discussion topic but the thing is (an take this with a grain of salt as its just my opinion) weapons or not people will find ways to kill each other, we have since we were just using our fists. We started using sticks and rocks to be more efficient killers and only continued from there. Weapons (in this case Alchemy) do make it easier to kill people when used in that way but people would kill people regardless removing weapons would not change that outcome. However if your enemy has a weapon (again in this case alchemy) and you don't your going to either copy/steal it or try find a way to counter it. His brother researching alchemy wasn't going to save his people at that point (it was to late). Alchemy just like anything (even more so in that universe as it has a much HUGER range of possibilities and uses) can be used for good or bad.
It's not that the blind spot comes from Bradley's eye. Every human has a blind spot which is located somewhere to the back of the neck so Ling is aiming for that, not cuz he thinks about his eyepatched eye and honestly people who have lost their one eye develop even stronger sense of vision - nose, ears and the other eye as well, not to mention the feeling of the skin and so on. So the one can easily compensate about the lack of his one eye.
On the topic of deadly weapons I would like to say that keep in mind some awful people will always be developing new weapons unless we start having zero awful people. So the non-violent people can't win a gun fight with a knife 90% of of the time. So if you want to be safe from violent people wielding guns you need one too or something even better. So that's the problem if kind non-violent people don't have weapons that even that even the odds in defending against the violent people they will die in the absences of someone who does like a police officer. If you want to survive a gun fight where they don't want you money they want your life you at least need a gun too. So the problem is bad people will continue to make weapons, and good people will continue to be assaulted, so if you are to defend yourself you need a deadly weapon too. Because a half alive violent killer can still pull a trigger to insure you don't survive. A dead one can't.
A lot of people don't get why Bradley keeps the eye patch on even when with other Homunculi. The reason is pretty simple when you think of what he does and why he does it. He doesn't need to, while others like Lust, Gluttony, Envy and even Sloth need to use their special skills to win fights, Bradley doesn't even a little bit, he's just that good as a regular old human male and it's why I always think if he were 30 years younger, Father's plan would've won easily as Bradley would've bodied every single character in the series.
14:20 i can explain this without spoilers To be able to do alchemy without a circle you need the nowledge that truth gives you but you have to pay a price. The crimson alchemist is the one with the circles in his hands, so no he can't do alchemy without them, just like armstrong has to punch something or Roy has to flick his fingers
Non-spoiler comment: That is the voice actor you're thinking of, and there's a bit of symmetry to it too. Scar's actor is the same as Tenya Iida from My Hero Academia. Scar's Brother is the same voice as Hero Killer Stain. I find it funny that both Scar and Iida go on to seek vengeance for their brothers. Kimblee, the Alchemist that attacked Scar and his family, creates the transmutation circle by pressing his palms together. Each hand has half of the circle, (Which creates a six-pointed star when complete) and he seems to be imitating the kind of alchemy Ed, Al, and Teacher can do. (Possibly there are legends about Alchemists that can perform alchemy in that way, and he was influenced by those, but we aren't told for certain.) But if he were to have one of those circles damaged, pressing his palms together wouldn't work anymore, as the circle would be incomplete. There is an important factor in that flashback that we aren't privy to yet, but that will be explained in a few episodes. Scar was definitely in a blind rage in that clinic. His family and brother were gone, and he wakes up to find his brother's arm attached to his body. The object of his hatred, Amestrians, are right there in the room. It's not his brother's arm that does it, as he's still not used to that arm. The most we see him do with it in the flashback is raise it above his body (To see it) and hold his brother's notebook. He kills the Rockbells with his left, as that's his native arm, so he's most familiar with it.
There is medical alchemy, it's just not super well understood. *in theory* it's possible to do something like outright make a new arm for someone as long as you have the right raw materials - it wouldn't be "human transmutation" as the key part of "human transmutation" is that there is no equivalent exchange for a soul (not a spoiler, something ed and al tried to impart on rose in like ep 2). Hell Roy a few episodes ago made a body double of Maria Ross with alchemy (IIRC he did it using some of ed and al's notes). However it is extremely hard to do, unbelievably dangerous and well it could probably kill the person you're doing it on; bio-alchemy is a difficult discipline, if you do it wrong you try to make them grow the arm, if you do it wrong in the other direction it could be rejected by the body. Even making chimeras is fairly difficult because you need to make a creature that's "stable". As evil as Shou Tucker was, he *was* a genius when it came to making stable chimeras, hence the title of "Sewing Life" Alchemist from the state. What was done with Scar was essentially the transplanting of a compatible organ. In the other series they explain a lot more about alchemy in the first 20 eps or so. In order to do something with it, you need to have a clear vision of what you want to do, and all the appropriate alchemical "wording" and "notation" in order to do it - most people use circles because they're considerably safer and less likely to rebound, they're often even built like circuits where if something isn't "right" the transmutation short-circuits and fails rather than rebounds. Some people like Roy have pre-made circles that allow them to take shortcuts because they've got pre-prepared words and notation. Ed, Al and Teacher got *so* much knowledge from seeing The Truth, that they don't even need circles, they can just do it all in their head and use themselves as a circle / alchemical notation. Many state licensed alchemists are literal cutting edge experts in their field of study, whether that be the manipulation of certain metals, chemicals or things like medical alchemy. Kind of like a parallel to an expert on certain types of math, engineering, or medical science (eg "this guy knows everything about cancer.") Hell there's even state prohibitions on things like turning things like lead into gold and people who attempt it are treated like counterfeiters are in the real world.
Kimbly and Roy don't do the same thing as Ed and Al. They don't need transmutation circles anymore, in many ways they are the transmutation circle now hence closing their arms together is to complete the circle. Scar wasn't exactly n his right mind I think... in his flashbacks you see colors all dulled and muddled only the bright blue eyes and blonde hair seem to have color, that's all he could see... blonde hair and blue eyes, traits that belong to his enemies and in his grief and pain (and likely some drugs, they were out then but that doesn't mean they didn't already give him something) those physical traits triggered an uncontrollable rage. Probably best described as an extreme case of PTSD in that moment.
An Ishvalan survivor who witnessed an army of people with blue eyes and blonde hair wiped his people out, compound that with the shock of discovering your brother's arm now being yours, your injuries, and you seeing two people with blonde hair and blue eyes. Scar is a warrior, so if it's fight or flight, it's more than likely his fight instincts kicked in immediately. It's all kinds of wrong put together in the worst chronological sequence.
I don't know if was ever confirmed anywhere by some official source but, I've always theorized that the world setting for FMA is more advanced than our own at that point in time because rather than being a society that was guided by Religious morality like our own they instead progressed through the ideology based around scientific thought. Our world's scientific and technological advancement has been held back by Religious morals, definitely for good reasons I'm sure but, there have been such scientific and technological discoveries that have been lost to time just because they were viewed as unethical. A good example of modern day science vs ethics would be stem cells. In medical applications they've been proven to do almost miraculous things but, the way we get them is a question of morality.
“Why are you laughing?” I would argue that, more than their own unknown racism, power corrupts people. Being in a position of power, where indiviudals have zero consequences for their actions makes them closer with their animal instincts. They become unmoral and pure evil. I think that’s also the reason why is si hard to end war, they just want to be in control, no matter the methods, for them is justified.
You i'll see in this series, there are redemption for some people but some things are beyond that. It all belongs to the path we choose in life and if we keep the cycle of hatred and violence perpetuating with our own choices, it all corresponds to our decisions.
The gun problem can be really easily solved. I live in Germany and guns are really heavily regulated. I mean there are shootings as well but it's a tiny fraction of the number of shootings in the US. Of course at the end of the day there is crime here too and people get guns illegally, but people don't run around here always feeling like they need to protect themselves. Cause they don't have a gun but chances are the other person doesn't have one either. So you don't live in this constant fear of other people that you would feel the need to have a gun to protect yourself. So not having a gun is the best solution. Aside from deliberate shootings there are soooo many cases in the US where situations were misjudged and someone pulled the trigger because nerves or something. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe it was for an understandable reason. But that doesn't bring the other person back. And at the end of the day it couldn't have happened if there had been no guns involved in the first place. I don't know, the concept of everyone I meet on the street possibly having a gun is very scary to me and I couldn't live like that. I understand why people would want to be able to defend themselves in that situation, but if others also didn't have a gun, that fear and need would be gone. So alas... (Totally unrelated to the show but I just felt like saying that after you started talking about it briefly.)
No we still do not have the technology to fuse nerves to prosthetics yet let alone in the early 1900s. That said this is not for earth don't try to add our Tec and geography
Alchemy isn't a weapon it's a utility skill that some people use as a weapon much like fire. Also the argument that if there were no guns humans would be less violent is disproved by all of human history before guns.
The argument wasn't that "if there were no guns humans would be less violent" but that guns allow violent people to be more dangerous. The quantity of violent people doesn't change, but with more effective tools each one of them can do more harm.
@@lazyshoggy A violent individual with a hatchet , Knife or anything else useable as a weapon ;ie a car , is often more vicious in it's use because of the visceral nature that weapons use. Gun often have a distancing effect mentally & emotionally leading to less brutality in the violence .
@@warrenelkins1861 Well it is debatable, and even if I disagree this is not really the place to do it. But it is off-topic anyway. The argument wasn't to compare the amount of brutality in various violences either. She just said that with more effective tools, you have better results. That's all. Alchemy isn't a weapon per se but it is a very effective tool, so you can kill lots of people with it quite easily. Guns are tools made to harm or kill people ; you will kill more people and more easily if you have guns than if you haven't.
"... if it wasnt there to begin with, no one would die from it" this is flawed thinking. if it wasn't there to begin with, in other words, if guns were outlawed, then those who abide by the law, would be without guns, while those who are criminal and dont abide by the law, would either have guns (illegally imported, since its outlawed) or other types of weapons, self-made. therefore, its better to let everyone have guns, so that the law abiding citizens can protect themselves adequately against the criminals. outlawing guns just makes the situation favorable for the criminals against the normal, law abiding citizens! if anyone pushes gun control, know that there is always an ulterior motive and it is usually about control & power.... do not delude yourself into thinking that if there are no guns, that no one will die from guns! people (criminals) are creative, they will create makeshift guns!
Personally I think her point is more about our (self-)destructive nature, humans killing humans, thinking its needed for our survival, when often greed and an urge for control is at the center.
Offensive wars _are_ greedy as fuck, _especially_ when their purpose is to steal someone else's resources by force. If you want their resources _trade_ for them; if they don't want to trade for them (probably because extracting them would cause irreparable damage), _tough luck,_ find a fucking alternative, it's still not an excuse to become a monstrous mass murderer and thief.

Pretty sure he had a huge ptsd moment, after losing his home and family. I think the biggest trigger for him was tbe rockbells blue eyes which he saw in the amestrian soilders.
Yeah, Scar woke up with a lot of trauma and shock, and was probably in a somewhat confused state when he saw the Rockbells and just assumed they were the enemy.
All that and in his PTSD he may have thought the Rockbells were the ones who took his brother's arm and attached it to him.

Don't underestimate how fast Ling is, he was literally not that far off from Bradley when Bradley is not totally seriously fighting to the death, says the manga artist in an interview.
Probably doesn’t wanna kill someone he believes is that worthy to fight, unless he has to
That guy didn't use alchemy without circles, he formed a complete one with the halves he had on his hands.
It's the same way Mustang does it, except he put the circles on his gloves, instead of the skin on his hands.
Note that Bradley isn't the king, he's the fuhrer. "King" is _his name,_ not his title, which can be quite confusing.
Particularly when King Bradley the Fuhrer starts talking about Kings (as in, monarchs).
@@Darkkfated And when Ling tells him he's no king, which he indeed is not... despite him _actually_ being King.
His full title is Emperor President Fuher King Bradly the Magnificent.
Its really quick, but when scar freezes it flashes an image of kimblee. In the moment, Scar felt like he was in Kimblee's position as the agressor, while Ed was more like his brother in that moment. It may not have been enough to sway his views, but it made him hesitate.
Exactly this. The problem isn't just that he sees Ed and Winry as himself and his brother, but that he realizes he has now become the very man he blamed for the loss of his family and homeland.
19:17 scar was having PTSD( post-traumatic stress disorder) every single amestrian soldier he had seen kill countless people had blue eyes, he woke up covered in blood with his brothers arm ATTACHED to him then he saw the blue eyes of the rockbells and it triggered him, giving him flashbacks of everything he had seen.
After seeing winry he DOES regret what he did to the rockbells.
Führer King Bradley can see with his two eyes. He's wearing a patch, as you can clearly see. 😂😂
Stoked how you’re live watching/reacting to two of the most highly praised and critically-acclaimed shounen series at the same time. Keep these coming and hope you had a great weekend 🔥
2:51 That's more of a testament to Ling's abilities and Wrath underestimating him at first. These two are the best swordsmen in the series; Wrath outclasses him in raw power and skill, but Ling is more versatile and a better tactician.
Good point I agery with that
Being 45 years younger probably gives Ling some sort of advantage, as well.
Ed: Gave up his arm for his brother’s soul/live
Scar‘s brother: gave his arm for his brother’s life
it was also specifically to what we know at this point the right arm on both of them
This episode is amazing. Not only does it explain why Scar killed Winry’s parents, it explores the cycle of violence, and begins showing the parallels between Scar and his brother and Ed and Al.
"Damn this show is good." +1
kimbee has one circle in each hand hand when he claps it forms a new transmutation circle that make things blow up and that´s different from seeing the truth, and just wait
Dental records were first used in 1878 - one of the few things that has stuck with me from college so far :)
About Bradley's eye : he can't use his Ouroboros-eye with his eyepatch on it. It's a great eye that allows him to see his opponents' weaknesses, but it can't see through matter ; he has to see normally with it to use it.
He first didn't remove his eyepatch against Ling to not throw away his cover ; but since he underestimated him and got blinded by the flash grenade, he didn't have any other choice to stop him. As his second eye was protected from the light by the patch he could use it after the flash.
19:56 scar realize that he is becoming the bad guy...its all about the cicle of hate that his teacher warned about
9:27 I'm happy you understand. So many people say scar was horrible for killing her but you could tell when he killed her he felt genuine remorse for what had happened to her. He didn't just kill her out of bloodlust he did it so that she would not have to suffer anymore.
One of the fundamentals of alchemy is the transmutation circle. Most alchemists need to draw a circle on the ground, but some of the more combat minded alchemists have either tattoos of transmutation circles on their hands (like Kimblee) or patterns on their gloves (Mustang and Armstrong) to save time. People who have seen the Gate of Truth like Ed and Al and their master don't need either of those, they can just clap their hands together.
Not sure if you've found out why that works or not, but if its not then its a slight spoiler so i won't say. It's really not that complicated honestly once you find out haha.
Scar didn't just see his brother protecting him in Ed, he also saw himself as the villain, as the person who killed his own brother. How the tables have turned. In the eyes of these kids, he is the monster.
Notice how Scar's memories seem to be removed from reality in some parts. All the marching Amestrian soldiers have the same face. They have the same blond hair and glowing, dead-looking blue eyes. I think this was a great, subtle way to show how PTSD can screw with someone's memories. The mind has a way of shutting down to protect itself, and it can later repair those memories in a way that makes sense, but is removed from reality. When he woke up, he didn't see two doctors. He saw two pairs of the same bright blue eyes, and he attacked. He knew what he was doing, in the sense he did mean to kill them, but he wasn't aware of what that meant. Wasn't aware where he was and whom he was really attacking.
The alchemy Ed, Al and their teacher does is special because they don't have ANY transmutation circles drawn on their bodies or clothes, hidden or otherwise. I'm pretty sure Izumi explained that as her body becoming the actual circle when she presses her hands together. All other people we have seen who do alchemy in a similar way have a circle drawn somewhere. Roy has them on his gloves. Major Armstrong has them on his gauntlets. The guy we see in this episode (the guy from the prison in episode 1) has them tattooed inside his palms. I always thought that since they are tattoos and not something he can take off, it was a safety measure to tattoo two halves of the same circle on different palms. That way he can only transmute when he brings them together and completes the matrix.
kimbli the one who attaked scar didn't saw the truth he just put 2 incompatible tatoo one on the other to create an explosion
If you thought this was sad. In the 2003 version, Mustang kills Winry's parents because he was ordered to.
One of my favorite scenes is that last bit in this episode. It's so emotionally packed.
Each transmutation circle is for a unique alchemic transmutation. An alchemist can do any kind of transmutation they like by drawing different circles. However, it's better to have them drawn on your hands or gloves during combat to save time. This limits what alchemists can do during combat unless they've been through the portal of truth which allows them to just press their hands together and do any transmutation without a circle. This is all I can say right now but there's more to understand about the portal
The regular end credits scene episode list reminder, I will stop posting this if you don't want me to
"There are a lot of post-credits scenes actually. These are all the episodes with scenes after the credits: 6, 8, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33, 36, 40, 42, 43, 44, 46, 48, 49.
And yeah besides those the endings of episodes 45, 54, 63, and 64 are different. :D" - u/Ev3r_95

Huh, didn't think this before but some Alchemists have been shown to paint Alchemic tatoos on their hands while others like Mustang and Armstrong do so on Glove and Gauntlet, when circle is drawn on other object that object is then seen as tool just like shovel or gun while people who paint it to their skin accept they ARE weapons themself.
I’m sure Winry understands that Ed and Al have to face danger being with the military. She comes from a military family. Her parents were killed and they were doctors.
Winry's family isn't in the military at all, but in medicine and automails. Her parents were dragged into the war because the military lacked doctors at the front so they requisitionned almost all the doctors of the eastern sector (remember that the ones in the town where Dr Marcoh took refuge were requisitionned too).
And Winry knows that Ed and Al are involved in dangerous stuff only since episodes 15/16 when they hear about Hughes' death. In episode 6 Pinako says to Armstrong that they didn't send a single letter to give news, and in episode 9 when she repairs Ed's automail arm in the hospital, Winry clearly says that she doesn't know why she asks him what happened, as he never bothers to tell her anything.
State alchemists that aren't truely part of the military like Mustang, Armstrong or Gran aren't supposed to fight in times of (relatively) peace but focus on their researches, so that's probably what she was thinking they did before realizing the truth recently.
@@lazyshoggy Many Americans were dragged into wars (the draft for example) and were part of the military as such. This is not an argument against them being part of the military because they were forced into it.
Ed became a dog of the military in a time of peace and the alchemists participated in domestic troubles all of the time.
As far as Winry’s ignorance about Ed and Al being in danger, as early as episode two she expresses her hatred for the military because of the danger it puts people involved with them in, like with her parents. “I hate soldiers like you. Soldiers are the reason my mom and dad left for the war and soldiers are the reason they’re dead. And now you’re... now you’re here to take Ed and Al away too.”
@@MrQabalist When people say : "I come from a military family", you expect that many, if not most of their family members enlisted by themselves in the army and made career in it. You don't expect that just two of them were taken by force to do a job that has nothing to do with regular soldiers. You don't use that expression if your family member did the minimum that was required for everybody, and because it was that or being jailed for desertion. Or else it would mean that everybody come from military families. It makes no sense. (*)
In episode 2 Winry is upset because Ed and Al may leave her alone with Pinako. She already lost her parents and now she is going to loose her closest friends too, not because they are going to die on a batllefield but because they will have no time to share with her anymore. It's no fun to have only a grandma to live with when you are 12, even if you love her.
In episode 6 too when she looks at Ed sleeping, she finds it funny that he could be used as a human weapon. It's not something you find funny when you know it is currently happening, even more when your parents died because of that !
(*) SPOILERS
Armstrong clearly comes from a military family. Although he could have been part of the military with his state alchemist status only, he chose to fully enlist and climb the ladder the regular way. He and his sister among 5 children, their father too (who actually was the highiest rank aviable before he retired - no general at the time of the anime reached this rank yet) made a full career in the military. And as always with the Armstrong, it is a tradition passed down on the family for generations (like, among others, their combat alchemy skills).
Nothing to do with Winry's parents.
@@lazyshoggy Sure you can have that expectation that someone from a military family family had a member join voluntarily and it be true, but it need not be so. Also just because someone is a field medic does not mean they are not part of the military. 🤷🏼♂️ There are various divisions and jobs in the military. A military family is defined in the U.S. for example as “Immediate family members related by blood, marriage, or adoption to a current member of the U.S. armed forces, including one who is deceased.”
In episode two Winry clearly explains why she is upset with the military. Now they are here trying to get Ed and she does not care to have him put into such danger. She understands him being a dog of the military puts him in danger. She knew that before he joined. She did not find out years afterwards.
Я угораю от того, как много внимания вы уделяете чему-то незначительному, но абсолютно легко забываете важные моменты)
Those who see Truth can perform Alchemy without transmutation circles, they don't need the help of outside sources. Professional/State Alchemists that haven't seen truth all have circles tattooed on their bodies or have special equipment to aid in the process. Example: Kimbly (guy who killed Scar's family) has tattoos on his palms, Armstrong has metal gauntlets with circles engraved on the fists, and Mustang has his ignition gloves that have sewn in circles.
22:26 this is a theme that’ll be touched in following episodes. It’s really interesting and you definitely enjoy it.
As always I really enjoy your reactions. This episodes, and Ed’s words to Winry always make me tear up. Such a good story.
Alchemy requires a circle, but alchemists who have seen the Truth (gone through the big door in the white void) seem to learn how to do it just using their hands pressed together as the circle. In order to quickly use alchemy those who have not seen the Truth have circles on them somewhere. Roy has his gloves, Kimbly and the Silver Alchemist had theirs tattooed on their palms, Armstrong and Isaak The Freezer put the circles on their glove/bracer. Alchemy seems to be treated as a science, so it would make sense that a really skilled alchemist should be able to learn how to transmute using the handclap method, but I don't think anyone is shown doing that in this show. FWIW I think the homunculi use two terms when talking about the alchemists, there are sacrifices, and sacrifice candidates. Ed is a sacrifice. Roy is a candidate for sacrifice. My guess is candidate means the homunculi suspect an alchemist may be strong enough to have opened the portal, but they don't know for sure if the alchemist has done so.
Father doesn’t give a crap about the dog chimera. He already successfully created more humanoid chimeras, and chimeras are nothing special in comparison to Homunculus
Such a beautiful series. That scene get me man 😭😭
Most of the state alchemists have transmutation circles imprinted on their equipment or hands so they don't have to physically draw a circle everytime. However, a circle is like a formula so they can only do a particular type of alchemy quickly of which the transmutation circles or formulae are. Ed, Al and Izumi have knowledge from the truth to just conveniently makes formula in their body by putting hands together and do any kind of alchemy. For example: 1. Roy can use his flame alchemy with his gloves but not any other. I'm pretty sure an alchemist at his level can do other basic/simple stuff but he has to draw circles/formulae for those manually. 2. Ed can do pretty much anything without manually drawing a circle as long as he knows how to do it i.e. he understands the chemistry/physics/math/biology behind it.
9:40 no there is no way to change them back.
Here is how this works in very basic terms:
Nina and alexander were broken down then some "pieces" of each of them were combined to create the chimera, any "pieces" not used in the chimera basically disappear, so the chimera is only HALF of each of them.
Not an exact in depth summary but a very basic version.
Kimblee didn't see the truth, he just has two transmutation circles on his palms. When he claps his hands the two tattoos form a complete circle just like how Al used to have to draw a circle before getting his memory back. Kimblee just doesn't have to draw it because of the tattoos.
Same with Roy, he has his circle stitched into his gloves so he never has to draw a circle.
Ed and Izumi on the other hand have seen the truth, which lets them use alchemy even though they don't have any kind of circle. Their knowledge lets them be their own circle by clapping.
I'm going to explain a bit of this out because there are a number of things people understand and know with the scene with Ed getting in-front of Winery and it triggering Scar, but can't fully explain. None of the below gives spoilers, just gives words to what is at the tip of the tongue. Note that there may be some grammar or spelling issue, having a bit of migraine.
1. Ed protecting Winery is like Scar's brother protecting Scar. That's why it overlays Ed and Winery over Scar's brother and Scar.
2. Scar attacking Ed/Winery is like the Crimson Alchemist attacking the brother and Scar. It made Scar hesitate because he glimpsed that he may have became the monster he seeked to destroy. That's why it overlay's Scar over the Crimson Alchemist. It's something that Scar had acknowledged, that he's gone down the path of hatred, but hadn't fully realized, if that makes sense. What Scar does with that realization, or if he'll do anything with it, is yet to be seen, all we know is that he is thrown off by it.
A further parallel is that Ed gave up his right arm to save his brother just as Scar's brother gave up his right arm to save his brother. Both Scar and Ed's homes are destroyed, but while Ed has chosen the path to restore what he lost, Scar has resolved to seek revenge against the power that destroyed his people. None of that Scar knows, but its information we know, which is why that scene hit so hard. In some ways they are the same story, more specifically the same myth, but played out in two different circumstances.
There are a lot of differences between the two, you can't really blame Scar for what he did, he lost everything. He wasn't really in the right state of mind when he killed Winery's parents and you can see he has regret for what he has done, he was in a state of frenzy. There's a good chance that if Scar would have been sedated, he wouldn't have killed Winery's parents. As shown in a previous episode, his main gripe are with state alchemists and those who were involved in the Ishvalan war of extermination. You get in his way he'll mess you up, but if you stay out of it, he doesn't have business with you. When we first saw Ed and Al in that confrontation, there's no reason to doubt that when Ed made his deal with Scar to spare Al for Ed's life that Scar wouldn't actually follow through on it, because well, Al wasn't a state alchemist, and also because Scar does seem to have a moral code he abides by.
Ed, on the other hand, he had Granny, Al, and Winery to stop him from going down such a path. Regardless, I don't think he'd go down the path of Scar, Ed is just a different person and its a way different circumstance, but that's more to say that Scar lost anyone that could have brought him back from the path of revenge. This is also why that scene with Winery hits so hard, Winery is tempted to go down that path and has the gun ready to pull the trigger, but she has Ed to save her and remind her that her hands aren't meant for killing, they are meant for giving life. Winery and Scar aren't wrong in their hatred and want for revenge, but as is the question the show asks, at what cost? What do you have to give up, what is the equivalent exchange?
To be blunt, this is the Shonen power of friendship trope, but executed perfectly. Also kind of shows you what happens when your friends and family are all killed and how that can create a cycle of violence. And that ends my Ted Talk.
15:00 that scene Kimble guy his drawings in his palms for transmutation circle, not claping hands like ed, al or their teacher. But A transmutation cicrle must contains some symbols to make alchemy work, for exp: roy's circle has salamander in it becouse salamander associated with fire. But if a person saw the truth, doesnt need symbols but needs a circle. when they clap their hands they make a circle with their arms. and their knowlage becomes the symbols they need. thats the reason. they see the truth and they know much more than other people
20:07 cat
20:08 poor cat 😂
Scar's bro gave his arm like Ed gave his arm for Alphonse' soul. so much suffering in this episode, damn you FeelsMetal
Just remember their time line and ours aren't the same. Just like in Fallout. Things just develop different b/c of a butterfly effect. Takes 1 pebble in pond to change things. One right turn instead of a left to change history.
16:28 If anyone wants to watch the film, its name is
"John Q"
Kimblee has one half of a transmutation circle tatooed on each hand thats why he claps to transmute they become a full circle when put together
I think it's about time for you to watch Lelouch of resurrection. Lol i just love how philosophical it gets whenever you react to the show
Oh my, you are on fire!!
:3
Have a nice night, rest and spend well the rest of the weekend.
@23:01 Well that is a LONG discussion topic but the thing is (an take this with a grain of salt as its just my opinion) weapons or not people will find ways to kill each other, we have since we were just using our fists. We started using sticks and rocks to be more efficient killers and only continued from there. Weapons (in this case Alchemy) do make it easier to kill people when used in that way but people would kill people regardless removing weapons would not change that outcome. However if your enemy has a weapon (again in this case alchemy) and you don't your going to either copy/steal it or try find a way to counter it. His brother researching alchemy wasn't going to save his people at that point (it was to late). Alchemy just like anything (even more so in that universe as it has a much HUGER range of possibilities and uses) can be used for good or bad.
This Fullmetal Alchemist arc is amazing Keep up the good reaction videos awake production and awesome my hero academia shirt🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's not that the blind spot comes from Bradley's eye. Every human has a blind spot which is located somewhere to the back of the neck so Ling is aiming for that, not cuz he thinks about his eyepatched eye and honestly people who have lost their one eye develop even stronger sense of vision - nose, ears and the other eye as well, not to mention the feeling of the skin and so on. So the one can easily compensate about the lack of his one eye.
On the topic of deadly weapons I would like to say that keep in mind some awful people will always be developing new weapons unless we start having zero awful people. So the non-violent people can't win a gun fight with a knife 90% of of the time. So if you want to be safe from violent people wielding guns you need one too or something even better. So that's the problem if kind non-violent people don't have weapons that even that even the odds in defending against the violent people they will die in the absences of someone who does like a police officer. If you want to survive a gun fight where they don't want you money they want your life you at least need a gun too. So the problem is bad people will continue to make weapons, and good people will continue to be assaulted, so if you are to defend yourself you need a deadly weapon too. Because a half alive violent killer can still pull a trigger to insure you don't survive. A dead one can't.
A lot of people don't get why Bradley keeps the eye patch on even when with other Homunculi.
The reason is pretty simple when you think of what he does and why he does it.
He doesn't need to, while others like Lust, Gluttony, Envy and even Sloth need to use their special skills to win fights, Bradley doesn't even a little bit, he's just that good as a regular old human male and it's why I always think if he were 30 years younger, Father's plan would've won easily as Bradley would've bodied every single character in the series.
14:20 i can explain this without spoilers
To be able to do alchemy without a circle you need the nowledge that truth gives you but you have to pay a price.
The crimson alchemist is the one with the circles in his hands, so no he can't do alchemy without them, just like armstrong has to punch something or Roy has to flick his fingers
Non-spoiler comment:
That is the voice actor you're thinking of, and there's a bit of symmetry to it too. Scar's actor is the same as Tenya Iida from My Hero Academia. Scar's Brother is the same voice as Hero Killer Stain. I find it funny that both Scar and Iida go on to seek vengeance for their brothers.
Kimblee, the Alchemist that attacked Scar and his family, creates the transmutation circle by pressing his palms together. Each hand has half of the circle, (Which creates a six-pointed star when complete) and he seems to be imitating the kind of alchemy Ed, Al, and Teacher can do. (Possibly there are legends about Alchemists that can perform alchemy in that way, and he was influenced by those, but we aren't told for certain.) But if he were to have one of those circles damaged, pressing his palms together wouldn't work anymore, as the circle would be incomplete.
There is an important factor in that flashback that we aren't privy to yet, but that will be explained in a few episodes.
Scar was definitely in a blind rage in that clinic. His family and brother were gone, and he wakes up to find his brother's arm attached to his body. The object of his hatred, Amestrians, are right there in the room. It's not his brother's arm that does it, as he's still not used to that arm. The most we see him do with it in the flashback is raise it above his body (To see it) and hold his brother's notebook. He kills the Rockbells with his left, as that's his native arm, so he's most familiar with it.
There is medical alchemy, it's just not super well understood. *in theory* it's possible to do something like outright make a new arm for someone as long as you have the right raw materials - it wouldn't be "human transmutation" as the key part of "human transmutation" is that there is no equivalent exchange for a soul (not a spoiler, something ed and al tried to impart on rose in like ep 2). Hell Roy a few episodes ago made a body double of Maria Ross with alchemy (IIRC he did it using some of ed and al's notes). However it is extremely hard to do, unbelievably dangerous and well it could probably kill the person you're doing it on; bio-alchemy is a difficult discipline, if you do it wrong you try to make them grow the arm, if you do it wrong in the other direction it could be rejected by the body. Even making chimeras is fairly difficult because you need to make a creature that's "stable". As evil as Shou Tucker was, he *was* a genius when it came to making stable chimeras, hence the title of "Sewing Life" Alchemist from the state. What was done with Scar was essentially the transplanting of a compatible organ.
In the other series they explain a lot more about alchemy in the first 20 eps or so. In order to do something with it, you need to have a clear vision of what you want to do, and all the appropriate alchemical "wording" and "notation" in order to do it - most people use circles because they're considerably safer and less likely to rebound, they're often even built like circuits where if something isn't "right" the transmutation short-circuits and fails rather than rebounds. Some people like Roy have pre-made circles that allow them to take shortcuts because they've got pre-prepared words and notation. Ed, Al and Teacher got *so* much knowledge from seeing The Truth, that they don't even need circles, they can just do it all in their head and use themselves as a circle / alchemical notation.
Many state licensed alchemists are literal cutting edge experts in their field of study, whether that be the manipulation of certain metals, chemicals or things like medical alchemy. Kind of like a parallel to an expert on certain types of math, engineering, or medical science (eg "this guy knows everything about cancer.") Hell there's even state prohibitions on things like turning things like lead into gold and people who attempt it are treated like counterfeiters are in the real world.
Kimbly and Roy don't do the same thing as Ed and Al. They don't need transmutation circles anymore, in many ways they are the transmutation circle now hence closing their arms together is to complete the circle.
Scar wasn't exactly n his right mind I think... in his flashbacks you see colors all dulled and muddled only the bright blue eyes and blonde hair seem to have color, that's all he could see... blonde hair and blue eyes, traits that belong to his enemies and in his grief and pain (and likely some drugs, they were out then but that doesn't mean they didn't already give him something) those physical traits triggered an uncontrollable rage. Probably best described as an extreme case of PTSD in that moment.
Lolol your Bradley voice 9:00 😂
Cant wait for her reaction in episode 26
An Ishvalan survivor who witnessed an army of people with blue eyes and blonde hair wiped his people out, compound that with the shock of discovering your brother's arm now being yours, your injuries, and you seeing two people with blonde hair and blue eyes. Scar is a warrior, so if it's fight or flight, it's more than likely his fight instincts kicked in immediately. It's all kinds of wrong put together in the worst chronological sequence.
I don't know if was ever confirmed anywhere by some official source but, I've always theorized that the world setting for FMA is more advanced than our own at that point in time because rather than being a society that was guided by Religious morality like our own they instead progressed through the ideology based around scientific thought. Our world's scientific and technological advancement has been held back by Religious morals, definitely for good reasons I'm sure but, there have been such scientific and technological discoveries that have been lost to time just because they were viewed as unethical.
A good example of modern day science vs ethics would be stem cells. In medical applications they've been proven to do almost miraculous things but, the way we get them is a question of morality.
“Why are you laughing?” I would argue that, more than their own unknown racism, power corrupts people. Being in a position of power, where indiviudals have zero consequences for their actions makes them closer with their animal instincts. They become unmoral and pure evil. I think that’s also the reason why is si hard to end war, they just want to be in control, no matter the methods, for them is justified.
Scars only saw the eyes of winry's parents and thats remind him the soldier
if you've seen the truth you don't need a transmutation circle, that's the difference
Was that so surprising about the time period FMA takes places? Other than alchemy and advanced auto mail, everything else seems fit to the period.
I have that exact same shirt!!
I was about to sleep but nevermind that I guess
Gotta come back and watch later lol
i love your reactions, give us mooore
Nice surprise for the night.
You i'll see in this series, there are redemption for some people but some things are beyond that. It all belongs to the path we choose in life and if we keep the cycle of hatred and violence perpetuating with our own choices, it all corresponds to our decisions.
The gun problem can be really easily solved. I live in Germany and guns are really heavily regulated.
I mean there are shootings as well but it's a tiny fraction of the number of shootings in the US. Of course at the end of the day there is crime here too and people get guns illegally, but people don't run around here always feeling like they need to protect themselves. Cause they don't have a gun but chances are the other person doesn't have one either. So you don't live in this constant fear of other people that you would feel the need to have a gun to protect yourself.
So not having a gun is the best solution. Aside from deliberate shootings there are soooo many cases in the US where situations were misjudged and someone pulled the trigger because nerves or something. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe it was for an understandable reason. But that doesn't bring the other person back. And at the end of the day it couldn't have happened if there had been no guns involved in the first place.
I don't know, the concept of everyone I meet on the street possibly having a gun is very scary to me and I couldn't live like that. I understand why people would want to be able to defend themselves in that situation, but if others also didn't have a gun, that fear and need would be gone. So alas...
(Totally unrelated to the show but I just felt like saying that after you started talking about it briefly.)
17:40 Is that "Meet Joe Black" ?
No we still do not have the technology to fuse nerves to prosthetics yet let alone in the early 1900s. That said this is not for earth don't try to add our Tec and geography
Please more often brotherhood reaction its much better than hunter thing
Hughes died at the age of 29😭
Scat was not in the right mind he he killed her parents
you're the best
Have you checked out jujutsu Kaisen? It’s fire haha
Let's go 😁
Alchemy isn't a weapon it's a utility skill that some people use as a weapon much like fire. Also the argument that if there were no guns humans would be less violent is disproved by all of human history before guns.
The argument wasn't that "if there were no guns humans would be less violent" but that guns allow violent people to be more dangerous. The quantity of violent people doesn't change, but with more effective tools each one of them can do more harm.
@@lazyshoggy A violent individual with a hatchet , Knife or anything else useable as a weapon ;ie a car , is often more vicious in it's use because of the visceral nature that weapons use. Gun often have a distancing effect mentally & emotionally leading to less brutality in the violence .
@@warrenelkins1861 Well it is debatable, and even if I disagree this is not really the place to do it. But it is off-topic anyway. The argument wasn't to compare the amount of brutality in various violences either.
She just said that with more effective tools, you have better results. That's all. Alchemy isn't a weapon per se but it is a very effective tool, so you can kill lots of people with it quite easily. Guns are tools made to harm or kill people ; you will kill more people and more easily if you have guns than if you haven't.

You should start doubling up, 2 episodes per reaction.
Nah because then she gets less ad revenue. Remember, she makes money off of these.
Two episodes a week is good enough, doubling that would be a lot of work.
Girl, what is up with your Neighbor?
Yesssd
"... if it wasnt there to begin with, no one would die from it"
this is flawed thinking.
if it wasn't there to begin with, in other words, if guns were outlawed, then those who abide by the law, would be without guns, while those who are criminal and dont abide by the law, would either have guns (illegally imported, since its outlawed) or other types of weapons, self-made.
therefore, its better to let everyone have guns, so that the law abiding citizens can protect themselves adequately against the criminals.
outlawing guns just makes the situation favorable for the criminals against the normal, law abiding citizens!
if anyone pushes gun control, know that there is always an ulterior motive and it is usually about control & power.... do not delude yourself into thinking that if there are no guns, that no one will die from guns! people (criminals) are creative, they will create makeshift guns!
Personally I think her point is more about our (self-)destructive nature, humans killing humans, thinking its needed for our survival, when often greed and an urge for control is at the center.
Going to war is not greed. We have limited resources and we fight over it.
Offensive wars _are_ greedy as fuck, _especially_ when their purpose is to steal someone else's resources by force. If you want their resources _trade_ for them; if they don't want to trade for them (probably because extracting them would cause irreparable damage), _tough luck,_ find a fucking alternative, it's still not an excuse to become a monstrous mass murderer and thief.
This anime is number one on my list 😌👌🏾
17:40 Is that "Meet Joe Black" ?
