I feel for Al, but Sloth's not a kitten: she's got volition and she doesn't want to be saved. (Wrath and Al parallel each other here with their mother-confusion Wrath and Ed will not parallel but complement each other shortly.)Įd and Al's debate over their responsibility for Sloth. It is not nice to mind-fuck Al! And using him as a literal puppet: please let that be the culmination of the stuff-inside-Al, okay? He's as good as dead." I don't quite follow this, but perhaps more on this will be forthcoming-we have to be seeing more of that Gate.Įpisode 47, "Sealing the Homunculus": In which Wrath kills Lust amid much mother-confusion. Let's see if that's enough for him.ĭante's statement about what she did to Hohenheim: "I broke the union of his soul, his mind, and his body. Wrath and Lust talk about "she" and "her" when referring to their Master. Izumi prepares Ed for either Dante or Dad being behind it all. In contrast, Ed tells Wrath that it's not the body that makes someone human, it's the soul, which Wrath will never have. We're given a year early in the series-1914-is this translated into Christian dating or given in whatever their new system is? It seemed about right in an alt-history kinda way.ĭante, contemptuous, doesn't see as human even people who are by strictest biological definitions (and yet she has a point about the destructiveness of humans see ep. The love letter uses Christian dating, which stopped being used a long time ago. When did he stop wearing his cloak, anyway, and is it thematically significant when he stops or did he just lose it somewhere?) (And I still want to know if Ed has one on his body rather than his cloak. I didn't at first understand Al's statement at the end, "No! Brother? What's happening to me? Is this really the Philosopher's Stone?" Now I think it's more, is this really what happens when you use the Stone, rather than, is this actually the Stone and not something else.ĭante's symbol is the Flamel snake, though she must've adopted it rather than creating it, given that it appears post-Gate on Al and Izumi (I presume). I take it that's what happened to Hohenheim's Stone. So now we learn that the Stone itself (not just a fragment) can be used up and is subject to equivalent exchange. Tucker knows why someone would choose not to use the Stone, because of what it cost, but doesn't let that stop him, or tell Al-and Al still seems to have divorced his knowledge about how the Stone was made from any emotional reaction about being it, let along using it he just wants to restore his brother. I believe I yelled at the TV for Al not to trust Tucker, especially after learning that he knew about the Homunculi running the country. (No first-viewing notes this time, just thoughts reconstructed after, which may make this a bit scattered.)Įpisode 46, "Human Transmutation": In which the Philospoher's Stone is used, and not by the Elrics. Almost done! Spoilers for episodes 46-48 of Fullmetal Alchemist below the cut even hint at spoilers for the last three episodes (or the movie, or the OVAs) and I will kill you with my brain.
