If you noticed something about Hohehneim, it's that he still acts like a normal human. He still eats, rests, and usually only uses normal non-stone-enhanced alchemy (you can always tell the difference by the alchemical sparks and whether they are blue or red). The only times Hohenheim ever actually uses his philosopher's stone is for big important things, such as trapping Pride or fighting Father. This is because he is friends/allies with every single soul within his stone, and he refuses to use their energy without a good cause. He is fully capable of just not eating or even walking through the desert without being affected, but he actively chooses NOT to use his stone unless absolutely necessary because doing so would require he draw life energy from the stone and use up the souls of his friends. Like Edward and Alphonse, Hohenheim does not take the souls trapped within the stone for granted, he still treats them as human beings whose lives deserve respect. Also like Alphonse, Hohenheim is letting the souls within him fight back against the one that caused all their pain by using their energy usually only to fight against Father and co. If you listen to Hohenheim's dialogue when he heals Izumi many episodes back, it almost sounds like he's actually talking to himself rather than Izumi. It's theorized that Hohenheim is actually speaking to some of the medical doctors within his stone for advice, then is apologizing to the soul(s) whose life energy is going to be used up in order to heal her (given his relationship with the souls, this was most likely a volunteer).
What I find crazy about Hohenheim's alchemy is that he never needs to move for it. Other characters need to use a philosopher's stone for instant transmutation, but he can do it even without relying on his.
Hohenheim even suffers from presbyopia, which means that he does not want to use this energy to resist the aging process of certain body functions (although he still does not age overall, and there may be some energy calls that he cannot control).
The reason why Roy didn't use his fire in that underground fight with the to-be-Bradleys is because his alchemy is not about the fire itself but more about manipulating the atmosphere. He transmuted the gas to suit his needs (creating a flammable gas "path" towards his target) and create the spark with his ignition gloves (that's why he becomes useless once the gloves are wet, its harder to create a spark that way) That's why it's way harder to use his alchemy to a target that moves very fast
@@ilsrzz135 no, i forgot to add the last sentence LMAO. Its BECAUSE how difficult the atmospheric alchemy's calculation (his precision needs to be an insane level to be able to SAFELY use his alchemy without blowing himself up or blow his allies up), its harder to fight moving target, especially target that moves very fast. And the bradley to be(s) are very VERY fast
@@ilsrzz135 and that's also the reason why he prefer fights while standing (limited body movement). Imagine calculating all those difficult calculations and HAS to be insanely precise while moving around. One mistake, and he WILL blow everyone's up
@@ilsrzz135 i think people needs to remember that fma doesnt treat alchemy as a power, but science. Which means calculations and precisions. Brain power needs to be working 100% to be able to fight using alchemy. Have you ever wonder why it's very hard to get accepted as a state alchemist? That's bc you need to be INTELLIGENT (not Ed's level of intelligence cz he's a certified genius) to able to pass the test. There's no age restrictions to apply for the position because how insanely difficult the tests are
While this is a great head canon. And works perfectly for the stiuatuij. The real reason Roy didn't use fire in that fight is because that fight is literally filler. In the manga, Roy literally gets subdued immediately as the fight begins and gets his gloves sliced. Why does he go down like a chump in the manga against the to be Bradleys? Because Roy is not a good h2h combatant AT ALL. His soultion to ending fights in literally firing fucking nukes. The anime added the filler fight to pad for time
A philosopher stone is basically exchanging a life for something, it doesn't technically bypass equivalent exchange. That's also why it can run out eventually.
My favorite thing about the Fuhrer is that his first name is actually King. Took me forever to notice that. I always assumed it was part of his title but then I thought that they just never said his name. Naw, his title is Fuhrer, his name is King. Just to make sure we all know he's HIM
The real reason Roy didn't use fire in that fight is because that fight is literally filler. In the manga, Roy literally gets subdued immediately by the to-be-Bradleys as the fight begins and gets his gloves sliced before he can even flick his fingers. Why does he go down like a chump in the manga against the to be Bradleys? Because Roy is not a good h2h combatant AT ALL. His soultion to ending fights in literally firing fucking nukes. The anime added the filler fight to pad for time
Which is also why, imo, them dumbing down Sloth like they did and saying Roy would cook him just made me laugh. Dude would just get popped like a flesh balloon to one hit, much less blitzed into paste if Sloth actually exerted himself. All while Sloth could, legit and ironically, tank tank shells. Roy is a one-trick pony - his trick is strong as hell, but the moment someone is fast or bulky enough to answer him, he's the one who's toast.
I like the question of why Truth is seen when people commit the taboo of human transmutation. Truth is like a mirror reminding people who overstep who and what they really are when they play God. To some extent, their punishments are self-inflicted but there's always a point behind them, however harsh they may seem.
It's their punishment, but it's also _the closest thing to what they requested_ When you try to revive the dead by alchemy, what are you actually trying to do? Every alchemist we see collects the materials to make a body and seems to expect the soul to come from outside, but dead souls dissipate and get reincorporated into the flow, they cease to be. The soul you requested could not be found, but all the knowledge to reconstruct it sits on the other side of that gate, as part the collected "all" or "god" that lives there. I think that's part of why Ed and Al both got pulled out when they started to see their mom on the other side of the gate - that's the information they paid for - and also why their tolls were so different - they didn't start with the same knowledge going in, so the amount of prerequisite knowledge they needed to see before "hey wait that's mom there she is" was different too, and the toll is equivalent to the knowledge gained.
I believe it was the creator of FMA that said King Bradley in his prime could not have been defeated by ANYONE else in the series. Each fight would've only lasted seconds if Bradley was in his prime
@@SolidSnake240 Scar would have been killed really fast in a fight against Bradley in his prime. Bradley was way slower than he would have been in his prime, due to old age and cause of his injuries. Most likely Scar would be dead before using the second arm and even if not, there is a chance that prime Bradley could be able to react in time, if used. Izumi is hard to tell, but if you look at it, a lot of the more insane feats she has shown, are mostly based on redirecting the power of the opponent, with using openings, which would be of no use against prime Bradley, since he will have no openings to exploit. Even old Bradley hasn't shown any openings or blindsights aside from Fuu's Body blocking his sight, Scars covered second arm and the reflected sun blinding him. Aside from Father, there is only one battle that Bradley could not win and that would be the stalemate of prime Bradley vs a fully shielded Greed. Greed would not be able to land a single hit, while prime Bradley still got no way of penetrating Greeds shield. Good thing for Bradley is that Greed rarely uses his full Shield.
@@Rafaela_S.I almost mentioned Greed but he got absolutely violated by Bradley. I feel like Bradley would still low diff a fully shielded Greed cuz of the ultimate eye.
@@Rafaela_S. But Izumi also has her alchemy. She is master martial artist and master alchemist. She would probably give a good fight but still lose in the end.
The philosopher stone doesn't bypass the laws of equivalent exchange. It just seemingly does so but in actuality the thing it's trading to materialize things from mid air are human souls.
Mustang tried but could not use his flame alchemy. Firstly, because precision alchemy is difficult when enemies are so quick so there was a risk of hitting his friends too. Secondly, I think his gloves were also cut off once.
The thing that most people miss is that the Philosopher stones are NOT bypassing Equivalent Exchange they're basically like a prepaid credit card of souls just with an INSANE balance on it That's why the stones run out because they spent all the balance on the card.
full Metal Alchemist brotherhood was the first anime I ever watched from beginning to end when I was about 8 or 9. Hot dam Did it get me to grow up real fast in so many ways. Absolutely in my top 3 anime of all time.
homunculus was extracted from the "all" in the alchemical principle of "one is all and all is one". any understanding of what it is follows from there. For all intents and purposes though, homunculus is a person. not a human, per se, but a person.
@10:44 the start of FMA brotherhood is confusing if you never watched the original. Brotherhood skips like an arc (the guy who owned the gold mine) and starts at a different point but close enough
I know this is the English dub, but I literally just found out the Japanese voice actor for Hange-san from Attack on Titan is the same one for Edward Elric 🤯
I know people love Brotherhood over OG, but what they did to the depth of the characters and MEANING/ORIGINS of the Hommonculi. OG > Brotherhood all day xD but so glad to see yall watching either way.
philosopher's stones only appear to bypass equivalent exchange. they don't actually bypass it. the equivalent exchange for philosopher stone alchemy, the cost of it is all the human lives that were sacrificed to make that stone
Wow, the end is very near. I'm so curious what y'all will think about this series overall when it's all said and done. Plus, one of the great things about watching the dub is, the blooper video! I don't think y'all have watched that yet, for some reason, but you will right?
You lose more depending on how much of the truth you see, Edward only saw a portion and so he only lost his leg...Alphonse saw all of the truth and so he lost his whole body. Ed gave up his arm to bring his brother's soul back, which was human transmutation again and so he saw a little more.
I assume you have been told already but you have to watch the bloopers after the show. It's jokes and mistakes made by the voice actors during recording.
Al lost his whole body due to equivalent exchange. To equal trishas body mass equivalent it wasnt just Al it was Al + Ed's leg to = trishas body. That is what they sacrificed. It was a shame it was Al but im sure it could have been either or, if they tried to bring back someone bigger or more people theyd likely have lost more of there body. Ed then sacrificed his arm to bring Al's soul back and bond it to the armour.
This is false. The mass of Trisha's body was paid for by the various chemicals in the human body that they gathered. Al's body and Ed's leg were paid as the toll for the glimpse of ultimate truth behind the portal after the transmutation rebounded since there's no sacrifice that can return a totally dead soul like Trisha's. It was in no way payment for physical mass, which the brothers painstakingly calculated and provided already.
the toll of opening portal of truth is something that you desired when opening it izumi desired her kid so it took away her womb, ed desired his mother his family so it took his only family al
Not entirely. Because human body transmutation cannot succeed at all, all the performer can obtain is knowledge, and the price paid is to buy that knowledge. The price comes from the performer himself and does not involve others. IZUMI longed to get her child back, so "Truth" made her body unable to have children again instead of losing her husband. ED longed for strength and independence, so he lost the leg that allowed him to stand. (And in exchange for AL, he gave his most important right hand) AL longed to feel his mother's warmth again, so he lost his body that could feel warmth. ED's desire is not obvious in the show, but he has obviously always wanted to surpass or deny his father's status in some aspects.

And that's what makes him an awesome character, and makes sense how the population of his people in Xerxes trusted him.
What I find crazy about Hohenheim's alchemy is that he never needs to move for it. Other characters need to use a philosopher's stone for instant transmutation, but he can do it even without relying on his.
Hohenheim even suffers from presbyopia, which means that he does not want to use this energy to resist the aging process of certain body functions (although he still does not age overall, and there may be some energy calls that he cannot control).
15 years later and I am now finding out that he was not speaking to Izumi but the souls in his body. This show just perplexes me every time!
omg I rewatched FMAB and I've never realised that! Thank you wonderful person for bringing deeper meaning to my nth rewatch!
