Ed is one of the only main characters in media that I truly love. I usually love the supporting characters a lot more than the main character, cause the MC (especially male MCs) tend to be the same hero archetype. But Ed isn’t. He’s not the strongest fighter. He even says it, admitting his brother is a better fighter than him. His alchemy isn’t the most powerful. That honour most likely belongs to Roy Mustang (and yes, I know Hohenheim and Father are more powerful, but I’m talking about humans who aren’t fuelled by philosopher stones. Just their own knowledge) and Ed knows that he has a lot to learn. He has a healthy survival instinct (if we ignore that one time in episode 5, but he needed to learn it somehow), and doesn’t seek out conflict just for the sake of fighting. His strength is his wisdom, and his compassion. Ed shows compassion even to his most despised rivals. He hates Envy, but he shows him compassion. He hates Scar, but he wouldn’t kill him, and would even team up with him at times. He despises his father, but when Hohenheim offers to sacrifice his life Ed is disgusted. Ed is smart, dedicated, and compassionate, and that’s what makes him an amazing protagonist, and a very unusual one in the landscape of shonen anime and manga.
The most astonishing and great thing is that he projects his inner self hatred and blame onto his father. Just when Hohenheim wants to sacrifice himself for Al Ed forgives him and through that himself. In that moment he realizes how he can save his brother: By giving up his rigid view of the world and himself (his own portal of truth) which involves accepting his human flaws. That is great writing and in an Anime/Manga no less.
As a massive FMA fan, I love this video. Ed’s sense of morality was always an aspect I found was this series strongest element. Arakawa always professed that FMA is a story about emotion and intent. This in relation to Alchemy which is described at a science. For while knowledge is great, it’s intent can often be nefarious/ selfish. Ed represents the cost of that ability. And thus is the foundation of his morality. Because Ed logically could have used the stone and gotten his and Al’s body back. But he saw that as the easy way. And not the right, no the moral way. And it is his willingness to stick by his creed while learning is what makes me love him. And solidified why FMA is my favorite anime of all time.
This had incredible precision and every aspect was perfect. Definately deserves more views and likes^^ you did Ed Elric justice for his amazing character with an amazing analysis
Started watching more of your videos, amazing analysis, i think Greed would be interesting considering he's my favorite character ... but i don't want to sound greedy when i as for it
@@llIlIlllII Tbf, he also discovered the country-wide transmutation circle that Father was setting up and was also the founder of Alkahestry, which Scar's brother also studied.
Correct me if I m wrong the gun hawkeye gives Edward is not the same gun winry threatens scar with, Edward gets the gun afterward when he and ling are going to go fight gluttony
That was an incredible analysis! I’m subscribing! And I probably gotta rewatch FMAB again because it seems like I’ve forgotten so much of the plot already.
“Brotherhood is, in my eyes, the best anime-“ Me: **SMASHES LIKE BUTTON INTO A BILLION PIECES** Edit: “Edward Elric is, simply put, a great protagonist for a great show” Me: **dies because Edward Elric is my favorite character**
I really should learn from you about pacing of analysis and how to include a lot of content within shorter videos. Im currently making a video about shou tucker which I meant to be like 15 minutes but its already at the length of an hour and I havent even finished...
Freakin lecture Freaking lecture You put the logics and passions of a character and explanation about why he’s the best throughout the entire show into a less than 10 minutes video This is the kind of poetry RUclips was made for and no one can change my mind
I also notice that Ed never defeated anyone besides Father (With the help of almost every cast) and Pride (Weakened due to the human Transmutation he has done and Kimblee's interference). This is what I love the MC was not the one who defeated every single enemy like in most Anime. Many characters contributed or the ones defeating the antagonist. Wrath alone was insane, it took Scar, Buccaneer, Greed/Ling and Fu just to defeat him. Mustang was really the OP by defeating Lust and Envy (Somewhat). Sloth was taken out by the Armstrongs, Military Personal, and the Curtis's. Al and others defeated Kimblee. Gluttony was weakened by Lan Fan before Pride Eat him.
Just a quick note: it’s not the automail itself causing Ed pain, it’s the stumps of his limbs the automail attaches to that hurt. Amputees also experience this phenomenon. BTW, super awesome video. Will you ever look closer at 2003 FMA which I think also does a great job with character pieces.
This was a really great analysis for a great protagonist of a great show. I finished FMA not too long ago & everything about this video was brilliant. The analysis, clips, & your insight almost made me tear up because of how beautiful the moral was stated. Cheers man! 🙌🏼🔥👏🏼
I've watched tons of Anime, but FMA was the only one that made me interested in reading its manga. I didn't even watch any of the two versions of the anime, I just really read the manga because I was really interested in it. I really liked Ed and one of my main reasons for continuing to read was to know what happens between him and Winry. As I read the last pages of between them, I was overcome with pure bliss.
This *motions to video*! This is the reason why Edward Elric is one of my top favorite anime characters. Fullmetal Alchemist (all three versions: manga, 2003 and Brotherhood) is one of my top animes, and I have many favorite characters within the FMA universe. Funny how that is? Another of my top anime characters would be Yusuke Urameshi.
5:04 damn.... this is another reason why I love this story.. moral restraint when you have ABSOLUTLEY all the right in the world to say "yeah I do have the right to throw a strop.". Something that we can all take away from FMA.
Good video but I had a problem with the speed. I don't know if it comes from me or not but the videos in background are faster than normal and your lines are quite hard to understand for someone whose english isn't the native language. If you did it on purpose may I suggest you to slow it down back ? You'll be more understable and some dramatic scene won't be kinda ruined by a "Benny Hill" effect ...
tbh edward loosing his alchemy stills hurts me And to be more honest ive always wondered was so bad to use the philosopher stones? they are people people who cant live anymore people traped people wanting to die using them doesnt make them free?
They aren't trapped, its literally using the entire worth of a human life for your own goals. Those people were killed to make the stone, it would be wrong to use something you gained through the murder of another person to satisfy your own desire.
Same, what really gets me is what is Edward gonna do with his life now? He's basically spent forever building this one skill and now he has no career to fall back on, then again, he is 15 so he has time to get a skill (also that "saved the entire country" thing should get him a pentate for L I F E) but yeah
I’m sad this was one of the first anime’s I’ve watched... I’m also incredibly guilty of showing this to someone who’s never watched anime before! FMA is impossible to beat!
4:10 That is not the gun Ed had. He never lost his gun, as he had it with him inside Gluttony and would later return it to Hawkeye. I believe that is the pistol of a military police guy who was trying to shoot Scar but could not and was blown away or something so his gun fell to the ground. I was always surprised that Winry knew how to shoot a gun.
As much as i love FMA:B it pains me that ed just threw away hoheinheims offer to bring back al, all he ends up doing is dying later near his wifes grave without impacting ed or als lives, after the final fight hoheimheim does nothing to add or subtract from the plot and i feel as from eds stubborn hatred towards his father he chooses to give up something much more valuable to him than hoheinheim in trade for al. Who to state again dies 5 minutes later in the show anyway without impacting anything and leaving Ed, at the time the most capable alchemist in the show without a way to do alchemy only getting back his human arm and still loosing his father.
Lol absolutely not bro. Hohenheim impacted the story so much with father relationship with him, he saved ed and al and explained the Plan to them di defeat dwarf. He Is Also the Only one that understands fathers Will. and it would be co-traded if he sacrificed his father's life, instead much better to have concluded the philosophy of the protagonist of "alchemy does not make you superior, I will always be a" vile human being. "With the exciting scene of hohenheim at the end
Edward was not the most capable alchemist, and as i explained the fact that he loses his alchemy was right for the defeat of the "truth" and for the ending, that is the difference between Edward, the one who understood that he is being an alchemist, or not, however, remains a human being .. and father, the exact opposite. it's a fantastic and satisfying ending
I don't really think Ed saved Mustang from "losing a part of himself" because if you remember he already lost that when he murdered a bunch of people in the war
No he most certainly saved a big part of him. Mustang was never a perfect guy at all. He had killed hundreds but it was as a military man it wasn't out of revenge or anger but simply out of a misdirected duity that he learned wasn't right. His wrong doing was what made him want to become better and actually become the leader so he could avoid such a tragic thing to happen again. The fight against Envy is different however. Yes he most certainly needs to fight Envy but he doesn't fight Envy he tortures him, plays with him and goes beserk on someone who doesn't stand a chance against him. When he killed Lust he did it quickly in order to save his friends. He only fought to protect himself and the others..in the fight aganst Envy on the other hand he tells people to let him have him. He isn't fighting to protect but only to satisfy his own lust for revenge.
Someone please please please tell me an anime that will be as good as this one was. I just finished it and I've started other shows but haven't liked them as much as i did this
RealSmallWeen I don't think it's as great as Fullmetall Alchemist Brotherhood, but I personally found it pretty entertaining. Have you heard of Puella Magi Madoka Magica? I don't want to spoil anything, but it's kind of a desconstruction of the "magical girl" genre. It gets great (by my standards, I don't really like any magical girl anime except this one) by episode 3.
Ok so the one thing I never understood about FMA is Ed giving up alchemy. So he gave up his gate, but alchemy is a science that he learned, so doesn't that mean he should still be able to transmute with a circle
The door of truth is what enables anyone to do alchemy. Knowing it exists negates the need for a circle, but circles ultimately only exist to make a gateway to that door. Without the door in the first place, the circle loses its ability to start an alchemic reaction.
I love your content, but you got to read your stuff slower, dude. You're way too fast and sometimes the listener loses track of where you are trying to process your evidence presented.
Well, it's because in the first anime, his desire To not kill is put into question multiple times like with number 48 in labytory 5 and had severe consequence... So he had To change his ways.
Absolutely not, ed in the First anime had a "dark" personality but in Brotherhood he grown up more, both physically and psychologically, his conception of alchemy has totally changed and he became much less selfish.
"The best story I've ever witnessed unfold" Dude I love FMAB, but you need to read more books. It ain't that good. Go read Brave New World, relatively short length and an incredible story.
It aint that good? Fmab has One of the best stories ever told. Maybe the best in anime/manga world. Ofc there are books that reaches that level or maybe surpass It a Little. But FMAB remains masterpiece
@@BruhBruh-ej4cd I got at least 10 anime/manga higher than FMAB, just from those mediums. And I haven't seen that much anime or read that much manga I'm not saying FMAB is bad, it's great. But I've just been tired of the FMAB supremacy attitude for a while
@@Amaling bro i said that fmab Is One of the best manga/anime out there, and i read alot of manga or Watch anime. This Is quite objective. Fmab Is not a supremacy. But It Is an objective masterpiece for his story, thematics and characters. Now let me hear your anime or manga that in your opinion Is Better than fma
@@BruhBruh-ej4cd it is not an "objective" masterpiece, nothing is. I will say I don't like the original comment I posted on this vid either, and the RUclipsr was just putting out their opinion and not saying it's "objectively" a masterpiece like you're doing. Anyways, I prefer A Silent Voice, Clannad, Deca-Dence, Evangelion, Devilman Crybaby, Jojo's, Your Lie in April, Berserk and One Punch Man over FMAB among others. I'm not telling you to agree with me at this either, as I'm not saying these are "objectively" a masterpiece or better than FMAB or whatever. There's so much that goes into an anime/manga it's dismissive to ignore other fantastic series. It might "objectively" be the best for you, but that's not the case for others, as the medium is inherently a subjective combination of different artforms I don't think that FMAB is a masterpiece because I think the comedy is godawful and that father is a bad main villain. It also didn't personally appeal to me that much if it makes sense, and I need that for a series to be a masterpiece in my eyes

Edward Elric would actually be a good teacher for alchemy and other things.
Ramen Boodles yeah but he can’t use alchemy
He would be like Waver Velvet from Fate. An incredible teacher who can’t actually use the stuff he teaches.

Also, he mentions several times in the series that he can't beat Al, that is relatable to practically all the older siblings out there
Truth truly acknowledges Edward as an alchemist. Not sure he has said it to anyone else....
This really made me appreciate his character a lot more than I used to. Thanks for the enlightening video!
You could write an insane amount about berserk. This is a great analysis. I'm very excited for more.
Oh believe me, Berserk is coming ;3
Also in the series Edward and Scar's brother are the true geniuses. In terms of knowledge I don't think anyone comes close to them.
