Lust is killed by a womanizer Gluttony is consumed Sloth dies fighting hard Envy takes their own life Pride's last words are "Please stop!" Wrath dies peacefully Greed dies selflessly and satisfied
Not only that for Pride, but he also died because he was trying to do the very opposite of what he was prideful of, by overtaking an "inferior human", rather than die a fullblooded homonculus, and still jumbled on about being superior Oh and Sloth died fighting against the two of the hardest working men in the world
Greeds death I think was one of the saddest in the show. He truly found peace at the end, he found satisfaction for his sin. It was beautiful and poetic tbh.
It is bitter sweet for sure. Greed got what he wanted, and kinda became whole by being satisfied with what he had... which kinda erased his being because he was greed.
@@irokosalei5133 Immortal usually emphasize on not dying of old or live on forever. It never meant unkillable. I.e immortal phoenix die, but it will be reborn. Its just that unkillable is also technically immortal so they eventually become synonymous.
If Itachi taught us anything it's that if you aren't killing your target with flames then you aren't using enough of them. Unless it's your little brother. Then let him win cause why not.
Sloth was defeated by Armstrong, whose biggest regret was that he walked away from Ishval and did nothing to protest the war. Wrath was beaten by Scar, who overcame his blind hatred and fought to protect rather than for vengeance. The other sins were more symbolic in the way they died rather than representing a character's symbolic journey.
I think that was the whole point of that scene. All homunculi represent the seven deadly sins. And Sloth was so 'sloth' that he didn't even want to live anymore at that point
@@AllOtakuProductions The same goes in In Nomine *A tabletop Heven vs Hell RPG). Lucifer was holding a contest to determinw who would hold the title of Prince of Sloth. Ralph won the title by doing nothing till only he and one other rival for the title remained. When it was down to him and one other, he decided he couldn't be assed anymore and left. In doing so, he won the title.
The author really made a point to have all the homunculi's death be ironic. Sloth is the least talked and analyzed, but his death led up to hard physical labor by him, the teamwork of Northern soldiers, and finally Armstrong and master's husband paired with Armstrong's family belief on discipline and hardwork really drives the irony. Also worth mentioning the two men's muscles and strength requires years of hardwork and dedication to build.
Genius, but I guess nobody really noticed because Sloth didn't have much of a character like the others, which is also intentional because.... he's too lazy to have one it's really sad lol
Don't forget, he was covered in tank fuel (which contains ethanol, which robs the body of heat) and shot out of Fort Briggs by Olivier Marie Armstrong, subsequently froze and was left out there for quite a bit of time. In a funny way, it's being inactive that helped in doing him in.
Also, while during the story we see the other homunculi being (relatively) chill all the times they were not fighting, Sloth is the only one that we see always working on something
It's amazing how she manages to makes the screams the agony sound so satisfying. I wish more actresses who play villains could inspire that feeling. The satisfaction of a villains brutal defeat and upcommance is such a complex and important thing.
I think literally the only thing in the show that doesn't hold up well is Envy's giant CGI form. Even then it's not like CG has gotten much better in anime since then.
There's that weird part where Kimblee joins in to fight with Pride against Alphonse. For some reason the anination budget goes to -$100000 for that one scene

@@lemonboi1609 yeah, in terms of flexibility in combat situations, edward elric is on the top, but in sheer destruction capabilities roy is the goat. There's a reason why the alchemic circle (or whatever they call it I haven't watched the series in a long time) for that technique is kept secret.
Sloth's death is so sad when you realize he spent his entire existence carving out a giant alchemy circle while sleepwalking and when he finally woke up, it was to die at the hands of hardworking men and women who were supposedly inferior to him.
You know it took me a while for me to realize this. I know that the homunculus deaths are all supposed to be ironic: Sloth died after a hard fight Envy took his own life after his jealousy of humans was revealed Pride begged for mercy at the hands of the person whose body he was just trying to steal Gluttony was eaten to provide nourishment for Pride Wrath dies a peaceful death after fighting a vengeful man Greed gives up his own life to save others But Lust was the one that I just couldn't quite figure out, until I remembered: Hawkeye was there fighting her before Roy came onto the scene. Lust died at the hands of a man protecting the woman he loved.
Finally someone sees it the same way as me! A womanizer could never kill Lust, a womanizer lives out of lust. Roy represents love: Love makes Lust burn/ Lust burned because of Love. It's so much more meaningful and poetic
Scar starts out as a vengeful man, but by the time he fights Wrath, he has FORGIVEN the people of Amestris. Wrath does find inner peace as he is dying, but he’s killed by a man who embodies forgiveness.
Every Homunculus died opposite of their nature. Lust was killed by a man who would not love her. Gluttony was eaten. Sloth died by pushing too hard. Envy was surrounded by those who pitied him. Pride became that which he thought himself better. Wrath died peacefully. Greed gave himself up to save others. Gods this show was awesome.

Honestly envy is actually quite chill throughout the entire run. He plays mean so you don't notice, but he's probably the least hostile homonculus short of greed himself.

But his return at Pride's death roasting him for be unprideful, and having more respect for Ed felt really satisfying. Almost like he would have been a better pride than who we got.

Greed's death hit so deep. For a being that only knew want, then at the finality of its life realizing it's contentment, not from material possessions or wealth, but from seeing those that cared for him, and sadness in understanding there, over the cliff he was plummeting, that he did care for them too.
What i find interesting is how greed in some way was the most human and the most redeemable , yet all the other sins seemed to be beyond redemption entirely. Greed at it's core wanted some form of salvation in its existence.
@@Skeletons_Riding_Ostrichesis not the desire for a good home a strong loving family also greed? Wanting the world to bend to your desire to be peaceful for those you love.
@@codename1176not really. Greed is excess. To always want more. Better home, bigger family etc. wanting to control the world is a bit greedy I suppose
Greed embodied a part of the Dwarf in the Flask's human desires, the one that desired companionship, something that Hohenheim tried to share with him in the past until the Dwarf chose to throw it all away to reach "perfection". How ironic then that the one fatal flaw of the Dwarf's attempt at Godhood (which is ignoring the true strength of sharing yourself with human connection) is what made him truly lose through Greed's sacrifice.
greed became selfless when he realized that what he wanted (friends, love, power) he already had, and all that he needed to do was to protect it. greed still wanted to hold on to what he had, but he stopped grasping for more and he came to the realization that what he already had wasn't just sufficient, but also that it was worth dying for. he never stopped desiring. instead, his desire became properly ordered and fully healthy.
Greeds Death hit me the most. What makes this Moment so powerful is that he is indeed satisfied and didn’t even needed much more than a few Friends by his side.
You're right, but we have differing goals, to read thematically rather than literally. Yes, literally Lust didn't die because she was too horny. She literally died because she got incinerated. But thematically, she was killed by a womanizer protecting the woman he truly cares for. Sloth literally died because his stone got pierced, but thematically, he was killed by two people whose passion and hard work (for the chunky muscles babeyy) allowed them to overpower him. It's just a practice in media literacy, that's all. And I'll be honest. FMAB is kinda weaker with the themes compared to 2003, but they're still there.
All homunculus died ultimately because they took too much damage while they fought. Except for Gluttony who was eaten and Greed who chose to sacrifice himself. What people are alluding to is that they died fighting in a manner that contradicted their nature (except for Lust that got burned to death while fighting "naturally"). I also think it's BS btw. They attribute too much philosophical meaning to things that are probably coincidence other than Pride.
For lust’s death: I loved that she probably could’ve taken mustang out. But it was more that she was testing his resolve. He was fully prepared to die to kill her, and she liked the confidence of a man that didn’t just fall for her looks. She didn’t embody lust as a personality, she embodied it objectively. And mustang couldn’t have given less of a fuck if he tried. She was a threat, he dealt with her. She liked that, and stopped before she killed him. For gluttony’s death: I loved that all he really wanted in excess was for someone to care about him, because neither his siblings, nor father did. But lust was more tolerant with him than most. Probably because he couldn’t feel physical attraction. (And I liked that Pride was cursed with his ravenous hunger after absorbing him) For sloths death: I really just loved that he stuck to his guns. He just wanted to sleep, and be easy at all times. He was forced to work because of his size, strength and speed, but at the end of the day, he didn’t give 2 fucks about anything. “Promised day? Please. WHERE MY NAP AT.” And even dying, in his last moment he thought “thinking about dying is a pain….but living to death is even more of a pain…maybe now I can just fucking rest…” For wrath’s death:…his duality of “I don’t know if I’m the same man I was born as, or if I’m just the most vengeful and angry soul that could suppress the rest…but at least I lived my way as best I could, and I had a wife that loved and stood by me” made the aspect of “I hate you all….but I loved her.” So much more powerful. Perfection. For envy’s death: the fact he envied humans for their lives, and how they could fuck up, but push on, and treat every day as a gift, and not have to live with single-minded purpose, but he always tried to put them down because (on paper) he was the superior being…the coming to terms with it in a sobbing mess of tears broke my heart. And worse, he had to hear mustang’s iconic line: “you’re ugly. I get it. Envy is an UGLY sin…makes sense, this is what you look like…” For pride’s death:…the fact he was SO DAMN ARROGANT, that at his weakest, he threw his pride aside to try and rob a human of their body, ONLY FOR A HUMAN TO INTERFERE AND STOP HIM, because he thought “there’s no way a human soul amounts to mine” (WHEN HUMAN SOULS LITERALLY MADE UP HIS BEING, AND ARE THE ONLY REASON HE’S SPECIAL) chefs kiss. And greed’s death?: what can I say…at the end of the day, any broken man knows, all you want is someone that will love you forever and never leave…wanting friends, or family, that loves you for you, and stays by through thick and thin, no matter what…isn’t that what we’re all looking for in the end? I don’t think that makes you greedy…I think it makes you human.
Greed: killed by his own father (twice) Lust: got on mustangs bad side Envy: ALSO got on mustangs bad side Gluttony: killed by his brother Pride: got talk no justud into an infant by Ed and Kimbley Wrath: kicked EVERYONE’S asses and died of old age Sloth: T H E S E H A N D S
Lust: Killed by a chivalrous womanizer. Envy: Killed himself to spite the people he was jealous of. Gluttony: Eaten by Pride. Pride: Shamefully tried to run, and was reduced to a helpless and innocent infant. Wrath: Died peacefully after battle. Sloth: Overexertion from years of digging, being frozen, an extended beating, and never tried beyond brute force, being beaten by the most diligent among humanity. Greed: Selflessly sacrificed himself, aand died contented and happy.
Arakawa probably writes the most satisfying paybacks for all her villians. Watching Lust, Envy and Father get punished for all the torment they dished out over the show is absolutely delicious. Also when Olivier Armstrong snuffed General Raven mob style. Don't EVER mess with that woman.
1:12 It's one of my favorite things about this version of FMA that the author created a character that uses the lighter for Mustang to use in this scene
Yeah, she realizes he's lost himself to vengeance. And she's going to have to do what she promised if he fell from the right path. God, I cried in this scene. I'd be dead because I couldn't take out the one I loved.
I love how lust aims for mustangs eyes, and tells him that she cant wait for his eyes to be full of agony, then mustang goes blind. Fma has one of the best writing teams out there, who know what theyre doing and i love it
0:42 Then during the final battle, Greed practically dealt a fatal blow to Father as he stabbed him in the stomach. The stab itself wasn't fatal, but he turn himself into carbon from there while destroying Father from the inside. Great foreshadowing.
I like how the villains picked Roy Mustang to be the fifth alchemist to see the truth because of how dangerous they considered him. Pride even admitted to him that "yeah you've been a real problem for us for the past year now."
I know it actually took a long and grueling fight that pushed everybody involved to their absolute limits, but I'm entirely willing to believe Armstrong and Sig showing up, posing, and throwing a punch would be enough to destroy a homunculus. The true power of muscles!
Laura Bailey who plays Lust is married to Travis Willingham who plays Mustang. So while they don't record together when recording it does make the Lust and Roy fight funnier
My favorite unspoken commentary in FMA is that among a lineup of unthinkable, immortal, otherworldly evils with designs on godhood at the cost of countless lives, the truest monster among them -- who even death can't stop -- is the regular old human alchemist Solf J. Kimbley.
Fun fact - all of the sins died ironically by either being uncharacteristic of their sin (wrath, sloth, greed, pride) or died from something that represents their sin (lust, envy, gluttony)
I dont feel that Way. I get that the Homonculi are supposed to have some Humanity in them. But Envy is just Trash because he is jealous of everything. He killed Hughes, a little Kid and a nearly a whole Country for killing this Girl. Something like him doesnt deserve Sympathy and i find it wrong that he gets reborn like the others. I mean how can Sho Tucker be the only one in Hell while all Homonculi get reborn? At least Envy doesnt deserve to be reborn. Everyone else yes.
Yes. That little shit tormented everyone the entire show and made a little girl grow up without her dad. He deserves everything he gets. He's just slightly less evil than Shou Tucker. And that's saying something.
Greed - died satisfying Gluttony - died getting eaten Lust - died to a womanizer Sloth - died fighting to much Envy - died by envying himself Wrath - died calmly Pride - died pathetically
Lust killed by a man who called her ugly Gluttony eaten Sloth basically worked to death Wrath killed by a man who let go of his anger. Pride killed (reshaped) by somebody who had to reshape his own way of thinking after not being able to save a girl despite being proud of his alchemy Envy finishes itself due to self pity Greed gives up everything he has to save everything he ever wanted. I love this story.
I never fully realised the symbolism behind all their deaths when i first watched this anime but holy shit they gave every single one of them a perfectly fitting deck. Damn i miss this anime.
I don't know if it's the most one sided but it's my favorite one sided fight in all of Anime: Mustang vs Envy. I guess technically it isn't a fight per se but it was an absolute beat down.
It was definitely one of the most powerful "fights" Mustang slowly slipping away and being consumed by his revenge as he unleashes a barrage of war crime worthy attacks one after the other, having envy try to be the chatter box they usually are only to be continuously cut off with the excrutiating pain of being burnt alive, trying to run away and hide as he is pursued by a force that wants to see nothing but them suffer for an eternity as punishment for their crimes
Why didn't Wrath turn into dust like the rest of the Homunculi? Is it because he's made from a human body and technically only have one soul, making him the most human of them all?
6:43 "How could you maintain your individuality among this *Tempest* of souls?!" Foreshadowing how he would later become a Slime named Rimuru Tempest! Also, for some reason I like how his shadow is talking like an actual living shadow.
Lust is killed by a womanizer
Gluttony is consumed
Sloth dies fighting hard

More like he thought he wanted everything much like his sin which is greed but after all this time he had everything he wanted which is friends.
One of the best character arcs
I do pity greed
i cried at greeds death
It is bitter sweet for sure. Greed got what he wanted, and kinda became whole by being satisfied with what he had... which kinda erased his being because he was greed.
Greed saying “they gave me everything I could want” really hits. When you realize greedy people are never satisfied, they want more and more.
Thank you…and goodbye my friends
It's a matter of higher goods.
Every homunculi died in relation to their sin, not just greed.
"they"
even though father essentially took "greed" out of his system, he ended up being way more greedier than greed at the end
"What is dying like? Such a pain to think about it, but such a pain, living too"
For some reason that last line struck a chord with me. I had a lot of sympathy for him, oddly. At least in death he can rest
My guy was happy to die
Bro had a midlife crisis
@@Bizcuits26endlife crisis you mean.

How ironic then that the one fatal flaw of the Dwarf's attempt at Godhood (which is ignoring the true strength of sharing yourself with human connection) is what made him truly lose through Greed's sacrifice.
greed became selfless when he realized that what he wanted (friends, love, power) he already had, and all that he needed to do was to protect it. greed still wanted to hold on to what he had, but he stopped grasping for more and he came to the realization that what he already had wasn't just sufficient, but also that it was worth dying for.
he never stopped desiring. instead, his desire became properly ordered and fully healthy.
Greeds Death hit me the most.
What makes this Moment so powerful is that he is indeed satisfied and didn’t even needed much more than a few Friends by his side.
It's funny to me how many people get Sloth's death wrong. His philosophical stone got pierced by the spike, he didn't die of lazyness or whatever.
Well he died Fighting so He actually made an effort, the complete opposite of sloth
and put toughest fight of all homonculus
You're right, but we have differing goals, to read thematically rather than literally.
Yes, literally Lust didn't die because she was too horny. She literally died because she got incinerated. But thematically, she was killed by a womanizer protecting the woman he truly cares for.
Sloth literally died because his stone got pierced, but thematically, he was killed by two people whose passion and hard work (for the chunky muscles babeyy) allowed them to overpower him.
It's just a practice in media literacy, that's all. And I'll be honest. FMAB is kinda weaker with the themes compared to 2003, but they're still there.
All homunculus died ultimately because they took too much damage while they fought. Except for Gluttony who was eaten and Greed who chose to sacrifice himself. What people are alluding to is that they died fighting in a manner that contradicted their nature (except for Lust that got burned to death while fighting "naturally"). I also think it's BS btw. They attribute too much philosophical meaning to things that are probably coincidence other than Pride.
@@oceanusprocellarum6853I agree it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the irony.
For lust’s death: I loved that she probably could’ve taken mustang out. But it was more that she was testing his resolve. He was fully prepared to die to kill her, and she liked the confidence of a man that didn’t just fall for her looks. She didn’t embody lust as a personality, she embodied it objectively. And mustang couldn’t have given less of a fuck if he tried. She was a threat, he dealt with her. She liked that, and stopped before she killed him.
For gluttony’s death: I loved that all he really wanted in excess was for someone to care about him, because neither his siblings, nor father did. But lust was more tolerant with him than most. Probably because he couldn’t feel physical attraction. (And I liked that Pride was cursed with his ravenous hunger after absorbing him)
For sloths death: I really just loved that he stuck to his guns. He just wanted to sleep, and be easy at all times. He was forced to work because of his size, strength and speed, but at the end of the day, he didn’t give 2 fucks about anything. “Promised day? Please. WHERE MY NAP AT.” And even dying, in his last moment he thought “thinking about dying is a pain….but living to death is even more of a pain…maybe now I can just fucking rest…”
For wrath’s death:…his duality of “I don’t know if I’m the same man I was born as, or if I’m just the most vengeful and angry soul that could suppress the rest…but at least I lived my way as best I could, and I had a wife that loved and stood by me” made the aspect of “I hate you all….but I loved her.” So much more powerful. Perfection.
For envy’s death: the fact he envied humans for their lives, and how they could fuck up, but push on, and treat every day as a gift, and not have to live with single-minded purpose, but he always tried to put them down because (on paper) he was the superior being…the coming to terms with it in a sobbing mess of tears broke my heart. And worse, he had to hear mustang’s iconic line: “you’re ugly. I get it. Envy is an UGLY sin…makes sense, this is what you look like…”
For pride’s death:…the fact he was SO DAMN ARROGANT, that at his weakest, he threw his pride aside to try and rob a human of their body, ONLY FOR A HUMAN TO INTERFERE AND STOP HIM, because he thought “there’s no way a human soul amounts to mine” (WHEN HUMAN SOULS LITERALLY MADE UP HIS BEING, AND ARE THE ONLY REASON HE’S SPECIAL) chefs kiss.
And greed’s death?: what can I say…at the end of the day, any broken man knows, all you want is someone that will love you forever and never leave…wanting friends, or family, that loves you for you, and stays by through thick and thin, no matter what…isn’t that what we’re all looking for in the end? I don’t think that makes you greedy…I think it makes you human.
This comment underated asf
The amount of EXTRA that has to go in to killing and immortal is astounding and entertaining
Greed: killed by his own father (twice)
Lust: got on mustangs bad side
Envy: ALSO got on mustangs bad side
Gluttony: killed by his brother
Pride: got talk no justud into an infant by Ed and Kimbley
Wrath: kicked EVERYONE’S asses and died of old age
Sloth: T H E S E H A N D S
Lust: Killed by a chivalrous womanizer.
Envy: Killed himself to spite the people he was jealous of.
Gluttony: Eaten by Pride.
Pride: Shamefully tried to run, and was reduced to a helpless and innocent infant.
Wrath: Died peacefully after battle.
Sloth: Overexertion from years of digging, being frozen, an extended beating, and never tried beyond brute force, being beaten by the most diligent among humanity.
Greed: Selflessly sacrificed himself, aand died contented and happy.
All those years after watching the show, I still cry when Greed dies. Amazing show.
Arakawa probably writes the most satisfying paybacks for all her villians. Watching Lust, Envy and Father get punished for all the torment they dished out over the show is absolutely delicious.
Also when Olivier Armstrong snuffed General Raven mob style. Don't EVER mess with that woman.
I'm more amazed at how Kimbley managed to maintain his sense of self inside pride.
He’s just that much of a psycho. Feeding off the agony of the souls trapped inside Pride to keep his identity.
He was already insane, so really sitting in a vortex of screaming souls barely even phased him when he basically enjoyed his job in life.
Thank you for posting this and reminding me how awesome this anime was!! One of the best!
the lust death feels different when u realize roy and lust va in english married each other
Really? Didn’t knew that
Looks like I can finally get you on your knees, after all
World's most...fiery...divorce?
Okay i'm seeing myself out.
1:12 It's one of my favorite things about this version of FMA that the author created a character that uses the lighter for Mustang to use in this scene
Ironic how most of the Homunculi deaths were pretty sad.
Not to me.
If you mean i felt bad for most of them, no. If you mean most died in a sad and pathetic state, then very much so yes.
The only one I felt bad was gluttony because he’s just a lost child who follows the orders of father when he’s not trying to kill you he’s wholesome
Greed's death was metal. He was selfless at the moment of death.
@@RakOfLamb He just wants to eat
I love the subtle change in 5:29 from fear to sadness that Hawkeye‘s expression changes to.
Yeah, she realizes he's lost himself to vengeance. And she's going to have to do what she promised if he fell from the right path. God, I cried in this scene. I'd be dead because I couldn't take out the one I loved.
It’s going to take more than fire to kill homunculi.
Mustang: “More fire. Got it.”
Well, no, I uhh well, okay then.
It took lots of fire!
Mustang hit envy with that orchestra 👌
I love how Alphonse hears Roy Mustang's voice and immediately makes a wall to protect from the flames
Whenever a villain is about to go against Roy Mustang, the villain's VA: "Oh well, I better start practising my AAAAAAHHHHH! AAAAAAHHHHHHH! then"
The animators fearing for their personal lives everytime a scene with Roy comes up:
I love how lust aims for mustangs eyes, and tells him that she cant wait for his eyes to be full of agony, then mustang goes blind. Fma has one of the best writing teams out there, who know what theyre doing and i love it
The way mustang mercilessly and relentlessly killed lust and envy must be the most savage kills in anime history
0:42 Then during the final battle, Greed practically dealt a fatal blow to Father as he stabbed him in the stomach. The stab itself wasn't fatal, but he turn himself into carbon from there while destroying Father from the inside. Great foreshadowing.
I love how Kimblee just roasts pride
Even if he was a terrible guy, he wasn’t a hypocrite and he wasn’t wrong
A bastard, but a magnificent one
He was a terrible person, but he stuck to his ideals
@@Hedgee_as one of osp's fans said a
'Charismaniac'
"Professionals have standards"
@@Sleepyvoidboi2111 Indeed. He was a good and fun character. I both love and hate him, a good trait of an amazing villian.
Still love that the moment Al saw mustang, he popped up a wall. Kid knew was what about to go down.
I like how the villains picked Roy Mustang to be the fifth alchemist to see the truth because of how dangerous they considered him. Pride even admitted to him that "yeah you've been a real problem for us for the past year now."
"If you think that, then you still don't understand edward elric"
Chills every damn time.
I know it actually took a long and grueling fight that pushed everybody involved to their absolute limits, but I'm entirely willing to believe Armstrong and Sig showing up, posing, and throwing a punch would be enough to destroy a homunculus. The true power of muscles!
0:40 god that is some brilliant foreshadowing
"Just dont blame me when I give you a stomache ache; you did it to yourself!"
Now THAT is foreshadowing, right there.
Lust's death was by far the most badass and most satisfying anime death ever.
Thanks for this. I get to re-live my past life. One of the greatest moments of my life includes FMAB.
I love armstrong and sig so damn much, the way they take out sloth is perfect
"Talk about cheesy" right before he says that whole thing that had to be the most cheesy death immaginable
I grew up watching the original full metal alchemist so it had a special place in my heart, but damn this version is just leagues beyond
Both are good
Greed in both series has and always will be my favorite of the 7 deadly sins. Cool as hell and bad ass as well 🔥🤩
Generally I prefer the original voice actors, but man, Lust English voice actress is just perfect! Absolutely love her.
Laura Bailey who plays Lust is married to Travis Willingham who plays Mustang. So while they don't record together when recording it does make the Lust and Roy fight funnier
@@dylanstalnaker3795 I heard after they recorded lust death scene Travis apologized to Laura
The animation for Lust’s death is so awesome, a highlight for me in the series.
Lust died on her knees getting backshots from a guy named mustang while saying its coming
I can’t stop laughing🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 and the English VA are married and I heard they laughed at the on your knees part lol
My favorite unspoken commentary in FMA is that among a lineup of unthinkable, immortal, otherworldly evils with designs on godhood at the cost of countless lives, the truest monster among them -- who even death can't stop -- is the regular old human alchemist Solf J. Kimbley.
Fun fact - all of the sins died ironically by either being uncharacteristic of their sin (wrath, sloth, greed, pride) or died from something that represents their sin (lust, envy, gluttony)
The muscle man handshake is something every man respects
Am I the only one who kinda felt bad watching Envy's death, even if he WAS responsible for Hughes' death?
Part of me feels like he deserved it, but at the same time I kinda felt sorry for him 😢
I hope so
I dont feel that Way. I get that the Homonculi are supposed to have some Humanity in them. But Envy is just Trash because he is jealous of everything. He killed Hughes, a little Kid and a nearly a whole Country for killing this Girl. Something like him doesnt deserve Sympathy and i find it wrong that he gets reborn like the others. I mean how can Sho Tucker be the only one in Hell while all Homonculi get reborn? At least Envy doesnt deserve to be reborn. Everyone else yes.
Yes. That little shit tormented everyone the entire show and made a little girl grow up without her dad. He deserves everything he gets.
He's just slightly less evil than Shou Tucker. And that's saying something.
He deserved it but at the same time…
No you’re not the only one
going from gluttony begging for his life to RESPECTABLE MUSCLES is such a toneshift and i love it
I mean major Armstrong and teachers husband (forgot his name) its just prime for muscle overload
The way Mustang killed Lust is probably one of the most brutal death in anime
I love how mustang is the only one who got multiple kills.
Greed - died satisfying
Gluttony - died getting eaten
Lust - died to a womanizer
Sloth - died fighting to much
Envy - died by envying himself
Wrath - died calmly
Pride - died pathetically
pride survived
@@youtuber5669 more accurately was reborn
Not a womanizer, a man she couldn't tempt who was protecting the woman he loves.
Greed died like a boss. He will always be my favorite out of all the Homunculus.
Lust killed by a man who called her ugly
Gluttony eaten
Sloth basically worked to death
Wrath killed by a man who let go of his anger.
Pride killed (reshaped) by somebody who had to reshape his own way of thinking after not being able to save a girl despite being proud of his alchemy
Envy finishes itself due to self pity
Greed gives up everything he has to save everything he ever wanted.
I love this story.
I never fully realised the symbolism behind all their deaths when i first watched this anime but holy shit they gave every single one of them a perfectly fitting deck. Damn i miss this anime.
Greed really lived up to his name and had the most deaths
Greed saying telling father “don’t blame me when I give you a stomach ache” is such a fitting choice of words
I wouldn’t have been able to kill Lust because my thumb would have been bruised AF
First, you have to not pass out after cauterizing yourself.
Wow, I felt Roy's anger in his grunting when he was burning Envy to death!
2:12 Mustang is easily a top 5 anime/manga character of all time. Dude is a G man
Mustag is like "hey, if it works it works"
I love how the Sloth is literally Overworked
Love how every homunculus had some kind of dramatic death, except for Sloth, who was literally just flexed on.🤣
I deadass feel bad for Gluttony, he aint deserve to go out like that
When Ed turned himself into a philosopher's stone, that was the funniest shit i've ever seen
I don't know if it's the most one sided but it's my favorite one sided fight in all of Anime: Mustang vs Envy.
I guess technically it isn't a fight per se but it was an absolute beat down.
The VO work that scene was so good, it got the show an award.
It was definitely one of the most powerful "fights" Mustang slowly slipping away and being consumed by his revenge as he unleashes a barrage of war crime worthy attacks one after the other, having envy try to be the chatter box they usually are only to be continuously cut off with the excrutiating pain of being burnt alive, trying to run away and hide as he is pursued by a force that wants to see nothing but them suffer for an eternity as punishment for their crimes
*Colonel Mustang* definitely with THE BADASS KILLS! 10/10!
Rewatching this reminds me that Roy Mustang is a badass among badasses.
Mustang roasting that chick is so satisfying. Even after all these years.
Why didn't Wrath turn into dust like the rest of the Homunculi? Is it because he's made from a human body and technically only have one soul, making him the most human of them all?
yeah pretty much
Yeah, the Stone was inside the body, not creating it like with the others.
Greed's death is somehow the best, when he realizes he had/earned something important after all.
This was one of the best anime ever. Like hands down.
Knowing that lust and mustang are married in real life and hearing that makes the interaction all that much funnier
9:09 I feel like this scene is exactly like the one in the magical battle between Jogo and Sukuna during the fight.
Awesome cut, but I feel the context leading up to Mustang incinerating Envy makes it much more worth it
My favorites are probably Mustang going ham on Envy and Lust.
scenes where Mustang brutalizes them with flames were always in the top anime scenes for me. Just epic
6:43 "How could you maintain your individuality among this *Tempest* of souls?!" Foreshadowing how he would later become a Slime named Rimuru Tempest!
Also, for some reason I like how his shadow is talking like an actual living shadow.
Lmfao this is cannon now
Roy's destroying of Lust was the most savage of them all.
