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

In the anime itself you can clearly saw that he is actually a loving,humble and a compassionate person he loves both of their child very very much that he wishes that he could grow old with them and also died with them.

      in Episode 40: Dwarf in the Flask, dub, i very much prefer the translation the production team chose when Van and Dwarf were in the centre of the circle moments from becoming immortal.
      "The true center of the transmuation circle is right here where you're standing."
      "Blood brother of mine, Van Hohenheim."
      "Right now, you and I are at the center of everything!"

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

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

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

    Hohenhiem is my favorite father in any series because he sacrificed so much and was so patient to not just redeem himself.

I can't imagine how many times he went close to going insane doing that.
