![]() Why should I be punished for that? What's wrong with craving knowledge? What's wrong with seeking perfection?įather's original personality when he was known as the Dwarf in the Flask is more human-like and beautifully charismatic than when compared to his later self. I wanted this world's knowledge for my own. "Father" inherited much knowledge from the Eye, and, when it comes to amount, only those of the Eye and Truth exceed his knowledge. "Father" was created from the essence of the Eye (with some of Hohenheim's blood mixed in), and thus Father's shadowy actual form greatly resembles the Eye. ![]() One of his outward looks bears a striking resemblance to Van Hohenheim. Arrogant and self-righteous, he deems only power over and ownership of the world, "perfect goodness and being", and "divine order" worthy of his attention, and he seeked to become absolutely "superior" to the human race. He was the oldest Homunculus and the progenitor of the Homunculi, creating them directly or indirectly. The Dwarf in the Flask: Homunculus ( フラスコの中の小人 ( ホムンクルス ), Homunkurusu), referred to as " Father" (お父様, Otō-sama) by his "children", the other homunculi, is the main antagonist of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga and 2009 anime series. That would be an accurate summation of my feelings towards you humans. You’ve been warned.When you see an insect lying on the ground, do you stop to consider it a fool? The life of an insect is so beneath you that it would be a waste of your time to even consider judging it. But be careful, the show is definitely a ten on the binge-worthy scale. What is ultimately the best thing about the iconic series? The manga that the show is based off on was written by Hiromu Arakawa. The show is just that good in terms of plotting and pacing. Even the recap episode serves to move the story forward. Another good thing about the series is that there really isn’t any pointless filler episodes. (And if they ever did a spin-off series, they should do it about her.) The Conclusionįull Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood has a great complex story, incredible characters, and a suspenseful plot that will keep you guessing until the end. Winry isn’t just a romantic interest, she’s a fully fledged character in her own right. Another great thing about Winry is the fact that she is the mechanic Edward relies on for his prothetic leg and arm, and she doesn’t hesitate to call him out if he puts himself in dangerous situations that damages her work. There’s a great episode when she comes face to face with her parent’s killer and she has to decide if exacting revenge is worth the price of her soul. While the Elric brothers are the main focus of the series, Winry’s journey is just as complex and incredibly fascinating. Like Alphonse and Edward, Winry was also orphaned after her parents were killed in the Ishvalan War, a major part of the history of the story. Winry is a childhood friend of the Elric’s, and is also an incredibly skilled automail mechanic. Without spoiling too much, the plot does extend all the way to the upper echelon’s of the government in universe.īut for every dark moment in FMA:B, there’s a Winry Rockbell scene. It’s later revealed that they’re part of a major plot to basically take over the world. The Homunculi are fake humans named after the seven deadly sins. In FMA:B, Edward and Alphonse find themselves facing several foes including the Homunculi. With any great story comes a mass conspiracy by government leaders that the heroes must thwart. A Vast Conspiracy and the Incredible Winry Rockbell Edward Elric becomes a State Alchemist, which brings a whole new slew of issues for the brothers. ![]() The brothers begin the series determined to get their normal bodies back. As a result of their “sin,” Edward loses an arm and a leg, and barely manages to save his brother’s soul, transmuting it into a suit of armor. The brothers knew that attempting human transmutation was a major taboo, but tried it anyway to bring their mother back to life. Not everyone can become an alchemist, but those who do the ability have to train rigorously to advance in alchemy. In a way, the alchemists in FMA:B could be likened to wizards and witches in Harry Potter. A Bit of BackgroundĮdward and Alphonse Elric live in a world where people have the ability to become alchemists. All five seasons of this epic anime are available to stream on Netflix. What’s the kicker? The younger brother Alphonse has his soul trapped in a suit of armor after the brother’s botched attempt to bring their mother back to life. The show follows the Elric brothers as they struggle to navigate life after the death of their mother. Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is still regarded as one of the best anime series of all times for multiple reasons.
