![DID YOU SEE THAT?? [ Trailer Reaction ] Avatar The Last Airbender](/img/1.gif)
Hey everyone! We will be having a podcast discussing the entirety of the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood series THIS FRIDAY 3/1 at 2pm! Please join us and be ready to call in via our Discord if you have any questions you would like to ask us!
Hey there's more fullmetal alchemist content. Three ovas and koma
Love yall
who do you love?
Bloopers!
just to let you know, its implied that "father/the dwarf in the flask" originated as PART of the truth, meaning he was always an aspect of GOD. his goal was to separate himself from the truth, and become superior to the truth. he didn't want to be subservient to the truth he wanted freedom
Me:
Knows the scene is coming
Prepares self as not to cry
Fails miserably anyway
Lmao
I've watched that scene many times, alone and in different reactions and I cry every time... It's an amazing ending.
I don't even try anymore lol I watched it like 6 or 7 times (maybe more, just that scene) and I cried every time :'v
Same as everyone else here. I've watched that scene EASILY 20 times and read it in the manga as many times, but every time the song kicks in at the end I'm just a sniveling mess.
@@Shinobi_912 I watched it like 4 times in the last week alone (been on a little FMAB nostalgia trip) and I couldn't stop myself even once from sobbing like a little child, this scene does things to my cold & dead heart that nothing else can even hope to accomplish lol
Well anime made me cry only 2 times and i watched like 100 of them but each time i see this scene its a gamble to make it 3 times.
It's not the alchemy. It's being boastful or arrogant. Using the power of God isn't the problem. Playing God is.
The dwarf tried to become God, rejecting his human origin. Ed on the other hand, accepted his humanity. He accepted that he is a weak, simple human.
exactly. the ultimate ubris. dwarf had nothing except all the knowledge in the world. he became arrogant telling himself he's better than others while being in a flask. it's a cruel joke tho. to know how miserable you are lead to grow resentful as him. yet he needed others help to been outside the flask.
This is too critical of the dwarf in the flask imo, I think everyone can relate to wanting to be like god.
@@0123-y5i Exactly. There is nothing wrong with seeking knowledge and aiming further beyond. The problem of the Dwarf was the MEANS he used to achieve his goals.
I’VE REJECTED MY HUMANITY, HOHENHEIM!!
Meh. Thats a bullshit. Just some entity called 'God' don't want to someone break its rules. Dwarf is the only one who tried to break free from the chains of God, but he lost and got his punishment.
Me: I'm totally not about to cry right now.
FMAB: Yatto mitsuketa
Me: (immediately starts crying)
Same...
@@000applegood3 now im just searching about fmab..it just..idk..i cant moveon..argh
My body immediately shivering after hearing that
The part was perfect
The singer's voice with the melody was so emotional. I get goosebump every time I listen to it
People. The answer is people. Learning everything is fine, power is fine, all of it is fine as long as you don't put it above people.
Well said
That and also humility. Ed admitted he was just a human even though he was an accomplished alchemist. it’s something we need nowadays where everyone thinks they’re better than everyone else because they have the knowledge of the internet. It’s knowledge that they haven’t even worked for and it’s makes them arrogant. We need stories like this in this age of knowledge.
religion or national pride also, just don't put them over people.
@@Hession0Drasha there is ALOT of symbolism in FMAB in all honesty the scenes with 'god' are ALOT better in japanese :P FMAB draws alot from Philosophy, especially the distinct difference between the realm of Existence or everything we can touch feel and see taste and hear. and the realm of Ideals what most people would consider 'god' there is nothing in this last realm nothing we can hold, smell, see or hear or feel. it is filled with everything and nothing at the same time it is filled with ideals, knowledge, everything that we can't 'grasp' which is why the room is portrayed white and empty. there is a reason 'Truth' is blind and has no eyes. the show is a metaphor for finding your place in life supported by Philosophy. I highly recommend watching a vid on RUclips named ''What is truth, Philosophy in full metal alchemist''
This is gold right here
God: "you've got it! That's the right answer!“
Suraj: "this was a game show?! “
I can't 😂
I let out a giggle and I'm on a college library 🤦🏻♀️

Greed's sacrifice + Al's last transmutation + Greed's last words + Ed's understanding of truth = The perfect recipe for tears.
+Armstrong's words of gratitude +Hohenheim's last words.
@@Shadi_Wajed The cream top in the cake. :^)
You mean Ed's last transmutation?
@@CommanderNeutralGray I was mixing with episde 62 and the current one.
+ Ed’s reference back to Nina = hardest cry of your life
Fun fact: The Gate of Truth shows you your knowledge and the things you have learned.
Father gate is blank. For all his power and age, he truly learned nothing.
He always had the all the knowledge to begin with there was nothing to learn.
There was still Alkehestry. When he first discovered it, he was curious, but ultimately didn't care about it and used only Alchemy to achieve his goals. And in the end when faced with truth, he didn't know what he should have done when Alchemy failed.
Is that a fact or a mere theory
@@highdefinition450 if you look at each of the sacrifice’s individual gates that we get to see, Ed’s is a depiction of the Tree Of Life. Al’s is a depiction of an Alchemy diagram. While Mustangs’s is a depiction of the Seal of Solomon, which is also what we see tattooed on Hawkeye’s back, not exact, but extremely similar. While Mustang’s gate isn’t exactly empty, it’s not near as flourished as either boy’s, showing his stubbornness in learning anything other than flame alchemy. Ed’s was the most embellished, from top to bottom. Father’s was completely blank.
7:05 “Shut up you rotten father!”
Translation: I don’t want to lose you too Dad
*loses him literally the next day anyways*
I was planning not to cry...then I read this...
Sacrifice is something Ed doesn't want to do anymore. Notice how in the end Ed and Al are trying to come up with a new theory of alchemy that surpasses equivalent exchange. And how when they found out what philosopher's stones were made out of, they intended to never use them.
Ed doesn't want to sacrifice Hohenheim to bring back Al. It's supposed to be the last perfect buildup to Ed giving away his alchemy, effectively rejecting the idea of equivalent exchange. Hohenheim dies regardless, but on his own terms, and of natural causes, right by his wife's side. If Ed had used him to bring Al back there's a chance his soul would not have joined Trisha's in the end.
Ed's attitude is so refreshing and awesome
I just finished the show I wish he said goodbye to his dad u know
lol... of course Navi figures out the trade.. most people would think he would sacrifice himself.
I don't know why, when he said I be back in a few
maybe she read the manga
"Ill be back, this is my last transmutation" I mean he basically spells it out lol.
@@nullakjg767 but it can mean his last transmutation = he died so he couldn't transmute again..
@@zealousrider6612 "Ill be right back." How could he have died if he planned on coming back? Its not even like he meant as a corpse because when you sacrifice yourself it goes straight to truth.
"Hello Trisha."
"I'm home."
;_;
The Dwarf already had everything already inside him, from his human blood. God/Truth tells him, "I am Truth and I am you." Hohenheim embraced his inner souls, Dwarf ignored them. Perfection is accepting your humanity and realizing that being "just" a human is the same as being God/Truth. Dwarf could have learned, maybe even evolved without stealing human lives to do it.
Just being alive should be enough.
he wanted to be god. but god is everything. that's like saying part of everything want to become everything.
Every time I watch this episode I note how happy Truth sounds as Ed gives his answer. You get the feeling that Truth has faced hundreds of people who never seem to get the memo, but when Ed does, Truth is so thrilled to finally meet someone who just gets it. I always crack a smile when I hear “You’ve done it! That’s the right answer!”. You can literally hear the tone oozing “FINALLY someone understands what I’ve been saying!”
I also love the idea that Truth is willing to keep giving them a chance, all the way till there isn't any more chances to give. When they get it "wrong", he takes a toll from them in penance, since they were, in general, either arrogant or greedy. Trying to take from him what he gives, without understanding. But in the inverse, he is, seemingly, willing to give just about anything to someone whom understands what he wants from them, and are willing to be humble and satisfied.
Me: "I am not going to cry this time! I am not going to cry this time! I am not going to cry this time! I am not going to cry this time!"
Hohenheim: "Hello Trisha. I'm home."
Me: "ohhhhhhhhhhhh here it comes ;{ "
Nanobite4 even before he said that, knowing the scene was coming, I was already in tears
See
bruh its the song that gets, its a plunger for the tear ducts
You guys should already know the dwarf had human origins. They used Hohenheim's blood to create it, back when he was still a slave in Xerxes.
Some of them still don't know how to pronounce Amestris, Xerxes and Xing, they *should* know a lot of stuff by now that they don't but I guess that's the consequence of only watching one or two episodes a week while also watching tons of other shows.
@@fabrice119 they also have month time gaps between sittings
@@danameisblackstar Because they put money over enjoyment of the shows.
@@fabrice119 well 2 of them have accents, and Navi's is pretty prevalent and she just can't get some of the words correct sometimes, so I can certainly forgive that.
Well, heh...they ARE the Normies. ;)
Alchemy isn't necessarily a sin, but subscribing to the sole belief that knowledge (or religion) is power is. Ed triumphed because he recognized that one can never become a perfect being without embracing his failings, treated his power/powerlessness with humility, accepted the help of the people around him, and stayed true to his humanity - things that Father failed to do.
Truth is really the embodiment of one's conscience and a reflection of one's personality. Just as these characters have behaved towards others, Truth is snarky and sarcastic towards Ed, kind and empathetic towards Al (on that note, a lot of people - myself included on my first viewing - overlook that it was Truth in possession of Al's body that has been speaking to him, and not Al's body itself) and arrogant and demeaning towards Father.
I'm glad you all loved FMAB's story as much as the rest of us here did. I know of a few who feel that it is "overrated" because it plays it safe and doesn't have the most complex of characters or scenarios, but beneath its simplicity it asks pertinent questions about how we should carry ourselves through life and handles it with aplomb. It truly is such a well-meaning series. Speaking of well-meaning, I'm not currently a Patreon but I hope you guys check out Mob Psycho 100 at some point! Season 2 is currently airing and it's up there with this!
This is as close to perfect as an anime episode gets. So much good!
Seeing the Dwarf's story wrapped up so fittingly, him being dragged kicking and screaming into a blank portal that shows he's never learned anything. Ed and Al being brought back into their normal bodies!
And Hoenheim, oh man. This story is his as much as it is Ed and Al's and seeing him go hurts so much every time. Though, like Pinaco said, at least he went out smiling.
13:25 Marketa's reaction is the closest to my own, along with Chris' mindset. "Gawddamnit, Hohenheim! I'm so sorry I hated you so much at first! And why does it look like I'm watching it underwater?" 😭
The Truth is based on old Hermetic teachings as well as Jewish, Christian, and probably some other teachings mixed in. The concept of everyone coming from the same being like a Source Code. The Truth was both All (individual Humans, The World, The Universe) and One (The collective consciousness of humanity/God/The Godhead). The truth in FMAB is that humanity is separated from itself and viewing its own self individually. Each person has their own subjective Truth, but one person's truth is not any more true/any less true than another person's truth. The price they had to pay for seeing this truth was steep, but the reality of the matter was that it was their own fault because they were doing it to themselves. It is a really interesting and mind boggling concept.
It's an awesome concept that's a shame isn't used more in made up universes, it's far more interesting than actual Godly entities that seem to be their own individual self.
Truth is also heavily based on Plato’s philosophy
Father is symbolic to the human strive for perfection and how we're willing to abandon our humanity in order to reach it. I see him as a criticism of our technological advancements and the humanity that our society has lost due to them.
"He's giving up his alchemy?"
WELL YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE FRICKIN HEAD, HUH?
Who am I kidding. Crying the nth time. Truly my favorite anime/manga ever 😭❤
So you are a mathematician
To me, it is already 100th
"this was a game show?" lmao
I can't with Suraj
5:50 He was created using blood from Hohenheim, before the dwarf in the flask gave him that name, while he was still a slave. That's what they meant by human origins.
Damn, I already cry and the video hasn´t even really started. Such a great episode!!
Poor Mustang, he literally missed the whole fight :D
This made me think of the episode, where the elric brother start training with Izumi and she dumps them at the Island.
Where they realize that the world is one - as in they consume the food and the whole ecosystem etc. So the truth thing is just the conscience of everything.
9:23 Truth actually sounds happy with Edward, and not all smug and passive aggressive with its tone.
I'd say Truth was proud of Ed in that moment
"There is no ending, as it is just a beginning to another story"
A story we will never see
@@mohamedelhediissa289 And that's life. We'll never get to see everyone's stories or even the stories of those who we once knew and even loved.
Life is about living out your story and accepting that you can't know everything. Edward accepts this himself when he gives up his Alchemy which is a reversal from the obsession he had when his mother died.
He came full circle and it's what made Hiromu Arakawa's writing so beautiful.
@@SefniAsheforr damn
That's deep
How am I STILL CRYING???!! I’ve watched this show a dozen times!!!!!
“What’s wrong with seeking knowledge? What’s wrong with seeking perfection?.”
Truth didn’t say anything.
Because there’s nothing wrong with it.. It’ HOW you gain it. Father since the flashback until the present time just kept on using others instead of doing/learning by himself.
That’s why his door is blank.. After all these years he didn’t learn anything and was still the same as when he was still in the flask.
So with Greed's death we have every sin die ironically.
Lust is killed ruthlessly through sheer will power, Gluttony gets eaten, Sloth dies overworking himself, Envy kills himself envious of humans, Pride was humbled, Wrath died content in peace and Greed dies selflessly for his friends.
Lust was also killed by a man that had no lust for her. Ironic deaths indeed. Purposefully poetic =)
You got Lust wrong dude.
She died at the hands of a man who had a reputation as a womanizer, protecting the only woman he ever truly loved.
Man, I love the trip that Hoenheim puts people on through this show, from "Man, what a shitty awful father and I can't wait to see him get beaten up for it" to "This man was the best dad and the true hero of this show and I'm sad that he's dead."
At the end, the old lady said "who the hell dies with such a beautiful smile on their face?" In the Japanese version and I think in that situation, the Japanese version was more impactful.
I’d honestly say fma brotherhoods is one of the most satisfying anime I’ve ever seen. Truly does feel like every character had their own little arc, even the less important ones.
Look at Fathers portal of truth and Edwards portal of truth
Greed's death always got me because he's my fav of the 7 deadly sins 😭
I've yet to see or hear of someone who noticed the Portal of Truth differences between the Homunculus in the flask and Edward Elric. I didn't notice it my first time watching the series, but did spot it the second time lol. At 5:30 you can see the Homunculus in the flask and his Portal of Truth. Then you notice that his is completely blank, meaning that in the end he learned nothing about the truth he was searching for. Meanwhile, Ed's portal (at 8:38) is filled with pieces of information that he has gathered and learned over his journey.
That's an excellent observation
Greed: "I've had enough"😢
Greed in the end won over his father, not just by saving everyone, but also by achieving the friends that was his father true want.
And there it is, the conclusion to the best anime of all time. Glad y'all enjoyed the ride. See you for the final epilogue episode.
Hmm
One Piece hasn’t ended yet you silly little goose.
People can have opinions so why tf are u mentioning different anime
unkown 123 exactly and the kid above you thinks that one piece is the best anime of all time. Why can’t he say that
@@TheBigBeanIsMean he can say that but I wouldn't mention different anime like ever on reaction channels, do you really think people will have a friendly convo about their favourite anime it never goes well so it's better to not start at all, I hope you see my point
I want to see the ending where everyone sacrifices a finger and Alphonse becomes one of those big thumb people from Spy Kids.
Glad that someone guessed that he would give up his alchemy, and not anything else.
Hohenheim's death always gets to me
Such a good message too. Chill out on the pursuit of knowledge and progression and perfection, and stop sacrificing each other. Help each other out and focus on each other instead.
エンディングの入り完璧だよなぁ
There’s something about the end scene, when I hear the lyrics play over it - “I’ve finally found a new tomorrow”...it just makes me tear up. It’s so perfect and sad.
Hohenheim and Greed's deaths always get the tears a-flowin
The God in FMBA is how Christians understand their God. He allows evil and allows good. There are consequences to every action. He does not force you to take part in what you don’t want to do and doesn’t stop you from taking part in what you shouldn’t do. Every humans has one thing in common no matter how long or short their life is; suffering. For limited creatures as ourselves are born into suffering for we aren’t complete but there is fulfillment in this world that we can achieve by striving to become perfect that can rectify our suffering. This comes down to the biggest question posed in the Bible. Satan and Jesus answered this question differently but Both are valid stances. “Should God have created a universe filled with suffering and fulfillment and is this universe and its creator good?” I find these answers have a contrast similar to Ed’s and Father’s answers; Ed’s answer compared to, “this universe and its creator is good,” and Father’s answer compared to the opposite.
And as a Christian my view on our universe is like this. I am sided with Ed’s answers it’s just really hard to strive to become more perfect. And one thing to clarify, sin is more of a suggestion of what to not do than a forbidden action. If you want to strive to be more Christ like you shouldn’t do these stuff rather than because you believe in Christ you are forbidden to do these stuff. I see a lot of people think this way and I don’t understand why but please tell me. I would always like to learn more.
That's a really good explanation, but I don't think the truth can be simplified down to an interpretation God The Father. There are some very significant differences. Most notably the fact that the truth is not benevolent or forgiving. It is simply fair.
I love how ecstatic the truth is about Ed figuring it out. There's something so optimistic about that
"This was a gameshow?" LOL
“Nah I don’t think he has human origins” after Homunculus being made from Hohenheim’s blood has been used as a plot point like 10 times.
There was an absurd comment that I loved on Ed sacrificing his gate on some video.
"He beat god, by being human"
i havent seen this show in like 5 years and i still cried
For all that big talk, all the Homunculus really wanted was to get out of his flask, yet all he kept doing was putting himself in another; constantly using the powers of others. In the end, his door of truth, which would normally have a ton of information on it is completely blank; symbolizing that he had truly learned nothing. Ed, on the other hand, had an over-reliance on alchemy and using it relentlessly in an attempt to fix his problems. He eventually realized that alchemy doesn’t hold all the answers; and that the solutions he needs are really all around him.
I love the detail that the dwarf in the flask has no engraving/markings on his portal of truth.
this is literally the scene I cry at everytime
Thanks for the FMAB reaction. One more to go ☝️
You guys got the message!!! You can use alchemy for good and to love each other, or you can use it for selfish reasons, for being full of pride and thinking you deserve everything, and that takes you to to use humans as resources and not as if they had the same value as you. So you can either use alchemy for your own sake or for the sake of others
I still shed a tear every time i see that last hoenhiem(?) Scene. One of my favorite lines from a movie called "Train to busan" says something like "when shes older, she'll understand why you worked so hard. Dads get all the shit, with no praise. But its all about sacrifice, right?"
13:20 always makes me cry no matter how many times i watch😭
Haven't seen this show in almost a decade and got me tearin' up before it's even on screen 🥺
I've watched this show 8 times now, and Hoenheim's death has never failed to make me cry no matter how hard I try and fight it
13:13 Marketa is the heart of The Normies. :)
22:35 From what she said, it is totally wrong. Greed had been that way since the early of the series. If you remembered in episode 14, Greed said that he wants everything. Money, women, henchmen. They are all possession. Killing them means stealing from me. And I won't let anyone take what's mine. From those statement, it proves that Greed cares so much about his underlings despite they are chimera.And the way all the chimeras respected and died for him.
Idk but after watching this many times it's always greeds last words that get me
when sid - rain start playing.. my eyes start crying 😭
I find it sad how almost no one realises how human Father actually is.
Father isn't just some guy wanting to be God because he feels like it. He says it's to become a perfect being, but there's more.
He wants what every human wants: Freedom
You see no matter where you are, there are always laws constricting you down: society, nature, god, physics, time....
Those are things that we have no control over, but they have control over us. This is what Father wanted, he wanted true freedom, to not be bound by anyone or anything, to avoid consequence, to do whatever he desires. And his plan makes sense, if you strike down/become that which sets all laws, then you are the one that is free.
Now I'm not saying I justify his actions, just that this desire that he had is something all of us have, deep inside.
And he dies poetically just like the other humunculi: he gains the power to avoid all laws, but loses freedom itself.
He's more human than anyone gives him credit for...(my real name is eren but my favorite anime is fma)
I fucking died at the "This was a game show the whole time?" comment.
I tell you something and it always gets me... when a heart breaking scene ends in FMAB it causes you to feel emotionally but not yet at the crying point. At this point you’re able to hold back the tears but then suddenly the theme song plays such as Rain by Sid... then the tears starts to rolling down your face. guaranteed you will be shedding some tears
Ed giving up his alchemy is somewhat similar to a human rejecting the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Abrahamic religions. Instead of craving knowledge and power to become more like God/Truth (like Father/the Devil does), Ed rejects it and accepts being a humble human.
pionkos words
hohenheim smile and his last words to trisha
ending song
IT BRINGS SO MUCH TEARS
Their pain is my pleasure.....what I meant was...it was another great FMA:B Ep63 reaction...
U dont need to hold on tears when watch this,just cry.
Hohenheim's death always makes me tear up. Its one of the only scenes in FMAB that gets me every time
Demm watch this many time and still cry at the end T. T
i noticed that ‘greed’ was the thing that finished ‘the father’ off... this shows not to be too greedy
That end scene always makes me cry ffs! I have watched that scene atleast 150 times...
I love the joy in Truth's voice at finally being beaten and a human understanding the real truth.
I like how Navi seriously questions getting a happy ending (since at the start of all this she said she saw the original if i remember right)
I know that feeling xD
When the song hits, it hits the feels
Marketa´s disapproval when Mrs. Bradley got Selim just crack me up. RIP Hohenheim and Greed :-(
i love the fact that the truth voice is also part ed's voice. Such a cool detail
I don't know if you guys noticed this little detail... but look at the Dwarf's door of truth compared to Ed's door or Al's door. It's completely blank without any added details - evidence that even after all this time he really had not learned anything. Ed and Al accumulated so much knowledge and meaningful experiences over the years and so Ed was able to pay the toll for Al's soul using something that had so much value at the time it was sacrificed. The Dwarf, on the other hand, would never have been able to do such a thing in the first place and in the end was consumed and destroyed by his own inability to learn. Blew my mind the first time I noticed this and read about it. I LOVE this show!
His "human origins" was being born from Hohenheim's blood. His master took some for "an experiment" and in the episode Dwarf in the Flask, we get to see the flashback that covers how Father looks like Hohenheim, how both are immortal, and the fall of Xerxes.
In the end that song kicks the tears outta my eyeballs 😭😭
“This is a game show ?” Lmao
When you think about it life is just one big game show. We're all contestants and the universe is the show host.
I really hope you react to the bloopers 😊😊😊😊
That last scene always fucking gets me ahhhh 😭
I actually really like the "what if everyone sacrifices a little bit." Thing
I have seen this episode like 10 times and I am still trying to hold back the tears
"This is a game show?" I HAD TO PAUSE THE VIDEO OMG
I'm Japanese
I'm grad to enjoying and loving Japanese animation !!
We respect to challenge watching overseas anime(with don't know language
Thank you!,
There are some things I don't love about how this show ends, but that scene with Hoenheim is definitely not one of them. Very strong feels.
I love how twilight zone universe 2003 is.
You guys NEED to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure next.
Can’t watch this episode without crying... i’ve seen it and the show in its entirety literally over 10 times but it gets me every single time. True even in a reaction lol.
Great show knew what it was doing from start to finish just amazing
I watched it like 50 times but the edning with Hohenheim... it gets me every single time
It's really nice to get emotional with you guys. S2
The blood was used to bring the dwarf into the physical world in a physical form which in a way was a piece of Truth itself with a will of its own.
