Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

secondly his recovered arm should be so badly weak it probably snap if he used it to punch the father. Also stfu he was able to pull that metal out of his other arm (his recovered arm shouldn't possess the strength to do that). I'm not certain if he recovered his leg, but if he did then running and walking should also be beyond him atm.

True, that was pretty weird seeing as Al didn't want to use his body as it was too weak. By that Ed shouldn't have any strength in his arm as it would be too weak as well.

Even so, I am not sure if Ed getting his arm back (even though it was weakened) would stop him from going berserk. He'd probably let his arm go through the bolt, and still kick his ass.

Considering it was just an arm and a leg that he lost it could have very will just frozen in time as it was when he lost it. Al's body was an entire body so it could get some nutrition to it. Unlike just an arm or a leg.

Shounen action doesn't require complete sense, just enjoy it

What i figure is that al's body is a foreign entity there so its wasting away. But ed's arm and leg were being used by an entity from that side so its not wasting away like al's body did. But anime rarely make the most sense in the world so who knows.

If it had frozen in time its be at the length of a small child, not fully grown out arm and if you llok close at his fingers on one of the close ups it almost looks like he was claws.
Besides they where talking about how Ed and Al could have fussed during the inital transmutation so they might try and tie that together with his toned out arm. Oh and Ed didnt really pull out the metal beam from his arm, it some how freed it self from the block of cement and then he just simply yanked it out.

And as to what havok was saying, He was completly pis that Al sacrificied himself for Ed so duh he went crazy and when ppl go crazy they do crazy things. Oh and So what they only beat them down when they where half dead/by surprice its street combat and war, a Kill is a Kill and those that live are the winners. Every single Homunculus where killed by surpeice attacks or taken advantage of thier weaken state. now that I think about it, the only 2 that got straigh beat down where Sloth and Envy(2nd time he got beat down)

And yeah they probably did it to buff up the excitement but Damn ppl get back in there, Armstrong and Mustang both got up again, get back in there! :-P

lust didnt get suprise attacked really she just got fucking incinerated

Most of the character development has been wasted in the last 10 episodes IMO.

The story expanded significantly for a series of episodes (roughly for 30+ episodes) during which I literally lost the character count. Most of the important (?) characters are still carried to the final episodes (some of them dead) but they are only shouting and wasting dialogs. They are following the manga version, I understand that but could be better.

May the mangaka were forced to conclude the story idk.

Now most of those episodes I enjoyed look like filler episodes. May be that was the plan 

[Havoc10K]

Envy killed himself, he was only beat downed by Mustang, but he did the finishing blow to himself cuz he couldn't handle the truth, or he did and he didn't want to continue his pathethic existance.

Lust was killed outright in combat by mustang

Sloth was killed by "the housewife and her hubby"

Gluttony was eaten by Pride

Pride was killed by Ed, his host was saved tough

Wrath was killed by Scar, didn't vanish tough, prolly cuz he used up his stones in combat and was meant to age.

Greed is stil lalive and kickin ass, at least he was, Father tried to eat him but failed.

so there you go, the full list.

Father is weakened because he absorbed the soul of the GOD entity and is losing because they make him use up souls to make him lose control of GOD entity, his phisical and mentasl state are weakening, and since everyone is injured and ED was closest to him he aproached him to make him a stone, Al gave up his soul to make his arm reappear.

the sole purpose of fighting a powerful enemy is to weaken them to a beatable level, it's basic combat, even during war, armies try their best to weaken the enemy to crush them, if you have a problem with anyone whipping a weakened enemy ass blame those that actually made the basics of combat, a lvl 1 character stands no chance against a lvl 70 character, thats logical, so in order to win you should weaken the enemy to a state where you can do something to it (lower defense, poison, lower attack, put some curse etc)

l don't know how you intend to defeat something in close combat when you can't even get close to it, if you didn't plan on weakening the opponent. suicide ftl.

I remember Greed being taken in by Father, then destroyed by Father within himself.

[Havoc10K]

thats been a long time ago, which ep did you watch last time ?

[pariah62038]

I do mean the new Greed, I haven't watched much of the newer series, but I know that it follows the manga very closely, please correct me if it was different in Brotherhood.

[Havoc10K]

no it follows up closely,

greed is back, father made a new greed that again turned against them heheh ;]

there

[agbaba]

you are correct about what happens to greed. I'm guessing ur upto episode 30. Things change later as you'll see (as havoc has explained - that should be spoilered)

just watched ep 63 i guess that was the end. more or less. With the next episode serving as a epilogue.

(click to show/hide)

i the ending was a touch unrealistic. Homunculus did seem more or less undefeatable so i guess it was unavoidable.
I still don't fully understand how glass in the dwarf homunculus was created. I think it would have been interesting to have more on his past perhaps reading the manga will reveal something.
Also, the revival of Al felt a bit duex ex machina.
I can't really say i was that happy with the way the show ended .

[pariah62038]

Here's the page of the manga I'm referring to.

hehe my bad. I didn't realise you were referring to manga. But what you showed does happen in the latest episode.

[pariah62038]

So in that case, was I correct? I knew about Devil's Nest Greed, I've read the manga to the end.

[Havoc10K]

l just DLed this ep but will wait till evening to watch it, along with a few other thingsl have left cuz Mayoi Neko overrun is ending in this week l'll watch it along with it, sadly l don't want it to end just yet but good things end eventualy, l'm looking forward to FMA:B ending to see how it did end ;]

[Nikran]

wtf did Ed say to King bradley's wife to make her happily accept the fucking freaky midget baby? You'd have thought she would be horrified by this super dwarf baby thing that can fucking speak =/

I would have told Ed that he can keep the bloody thing, lol.

[agbaba]

on the topic of bradley's wife.

(click to show/hide)

Bradley mentions that he chose her, did he love her?? (doesn't appear to be the case). I wonder if we'll find out more about bradley's wife in the final ep. Yep but i was suprised to by the fact that she accepted midget version of pride.

[Havoc10K]

he chose her, because he wanted to show hes not entirely controled by Father, that he has his own will, the fact that he was helping Father was also his choice, he wanted this.
