Hello, my name is Paul. Most
of you though know me as Maes-Hughes on the Forums (account name). I love FMA
to the death, and have watched all episodes 6 times so far. I decided to create a Mistake Thread and one
of the replies was a member stating that there was a list of them “here”. He
provided the link so I started reading the mistakes. Some of these mistakes
could easily be answered, or corrected.
I have just put my opinions
for the answers and what the answers “should” be. So please if ANY of these are
wrong and you can verify it please private message me. I would also like to thank Reika for
providing this list of Unanswered Questions.
I have answered them as best I could.
I might have sipped up on a few answered since I kinda rushed to get
this done by Friday.
ALL the black text is
original from Reika’s document.
ALL the red text is my
answers + opinions to the unanswered/mistakes.
For my answers I used
English Episodes 1-26 and Japanese episodes with subtitles for 27-51.
I apologize if they are any
spelling errors on my part, since I rushed myself and don’t really have the
time to reread everything again.
There where quite a few
spelling mistakes that I tried to correct. It annoyed the hell out of me while
I was trying to type.
Basically I believe FMA (the
anime) is a GREAT show, it has drama, character, love, and brotherly love. But
enough for that I could spend HOURS telling you how good FMA was. Now Read the
Unanswered/Mistake Pages.
Hello!! Here Reika ready to report you some... "Unanswered Questions"
(since someone
may feel bad if I call them Mistakes or PlotHoles).
Before that, I wanted to say that at first I wasn't going
to report any of this. I knew there
were many... unanswered questions in the anime of Full
Metal Alchemist, but then
BONES announced [SPOILER]they
were going to show what happened to Roy and Riza's
relationship during the two years before the movie takes
place in said movie. Then someone
that saw the movie posted that it was false, that there's no
explanation nor Royai moment
nor anything. [/SPOILER] Then I got pissed off, 'cause I said "Just
what we needed, they
did false advertising" (something that can be sued),
and opened this thread, just to know
how much of you hated what they did to FMA. Also, after
that, I said "I'm going to look for
the main "Unanswered Questions" they left and
post them".
And then, some... guy, insulted me, repeatedly, only
because I had another opinion besides
his, and finally he pissed me off greatly.
So instead of stating the main "U.Q.", I'm going
to state every and single one that I could
find, just to tease him, so I hope you don't mind.
Special thanks to Dai, who supported me and helped me
organizing all these ideas I took
note of and finding more "UQ"; Saffiremoon, who
also supported me and told me not to kill
myself trying to find them all as soon as possible XD; and
my other friends that aren't in this
forum and already know what I'm going to post (as my
Producer and Cinema-Critique
friends).
Since I tried to state them as unanswered questions they
are open to discuss for those who
may want to give a possible answer or can apport something
we may have left behind.
Also, after the “Unanswered questions” I added my personal opinion
(so no flames about
that) as how would I call them.
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS:
(1st part of the anime, before it got separated from the
manga)
Episode 1:
1)Why animals and plant are being transmutated freely when
they are living forms of
life? ( ADAPTATION)
They can be transmutated freely because of the philosopher’s
stone.
Episode 2:
1)Why did Cornero's arm start being transmutated into some
metal things and
cables? NOTE: In the manga it happens because the
Philosopher's Stone is
overloaded and when he starts to transmutate a weapon, said
weapon starts being
mixed with his arm and that's why there are so many cables
and metal things. But in
the anime? (ADAPTATION)
In the anime the stone recoils a result of using it too many
times, the reason why there where metal parts, and weapons was due to the fact
that he tried to make a gun when it was recoiling.
2) Why is Envy, being a homunculus, able to do some kind
of... "trick" (for calling it
something, since I can't prove whether it's Alchemy or
not), powerful enough to
make some dead birds start flying and chirping, even if it
is for a few seconds? What
is it the "trick" he uses if it's not Alchemy?
(ADAPTATION + LOOSE END)
That is a mistake, unless BONES can explain it.
Episode 3:
1) Why, when Al falls to the river, after being poured with
water all over him and
having the transmutation circle rather fresh, he is still
alive and Ed doesn't show any
kind of worry at all? (ADAPTATION + MISTAKE + CONTRADICTION
(later on,
episode 44))
The water could only be a foot deep
and when Alphonse falls into it the water disperses around him so that nearly
no water is inside the armor.
Episode 4:
1) Why is Majihal able to transmutate people's soul to the
marionettes without giving
nothing in Exchange? ß I’m
not sure, because it’s not explained enough if Ed had to
give anything in exchange for transferring Al’s soul into
an object or it was because
he had to enter the door to look for it. Neither in the
manga nor in the anime.
Majihal doesn’t need to give anything in exchange simply
because he doesn’t need to get the soul from beyond the gate.
Episode 5:
1)Why can Ed make the water boil without clapping when
Gracia is about to give
birth? Does it mean he can clap with his nose and still be
able to make a
transmutation? How is it he transmutates something without
being aware of it?
(MISTAKE)
Either Ed completed the transmutation when he touched the
water dish which could be metal completing the circuit, or he completed the
array before he touched the bowl.
Episode 9:
1) Why doesn't General Hakuro suddenly have the hole that
Bard made on his ear in
Episode 5? (MISTAKE)
Could the wound possibly heal itself? Like when you get your
ears pierced and after a while if you don’t put earrings or anything in the
hole will seal up.
2)Note about Hakuro: Where's the nice general we saw in
Episode 5, who was
worried about the life of the people on the train? He’s
suddenly a complete jerk.
(PERSONALITY CHANGE IN ORDER TO MAKE SOME PLOT THEY HAD IN
MIND WORK OUT + NEED TO RESORT TO 2NDARY CHARACTERS TO
SAVE TIME CREATING NEW ONES)
One’s personality can change over
time, it is not like someone stays the same their whole life.
Episode 10:
1)Why is Al able to transmutate the apple, which is peeled,
into a non-peeled apple?
(MISTAKE)
That I believe is a mistake unless there is a scientific
explanation that can prove it right, something like the apple already had the
properties of the peel so Al was able to “grow” a new “skin” or something like
that.
Episode 11:
1) Russel: "If you are poured with this red water,
fainting won't be the only thing
you will do". Then why when Fletcher fells to the red
water and is quite soaked with
it he doesn't faint, but the only thing that happens to him
is a momentary paralysis?
(MISTAKE)
When “The Other Brothers Elric Part 2” begins it shows
Fletcher fainted.
2) There’s a huge inexhaustible fountain of red water,
which is said in episode 22 to
be created by human’s lives. Is there any kind of machine
that is continuously killing
people in order to make this liquid be that much?
(NONSENSE)
Machine: No, Person: Yes.
Episode 18:
1)Why is Lust able to make explode some part of the
library, as well as some other
things, when her only ability is to cut through anything?
NOTE: Even having the
candles she shouldn't be able to create explosions.
(MISTAKE)
Lust breaks part of the shelves
which causes it to collapse which in turn makes a type of explosion, and Scar
also creates explosions.
Episode 19:
1)Why does Scar's arm have the ability to recopilate and
erase letters from papers
AND decript them when even took days for Ed and Al (who are
alchemists) to
decript it, and when his tattoo is just a part of the
transmutation circle of the
Philosopher’s Stone and a red stone? (EXCUSE TO MAKE THE
PLOT THEY
HAD IN MIND FASTER, LEAVING A HOLE BEHIND)
No one said scars arm could only destroy things, atleast no
one that knows a little about alchemy. Scar already knew that people where sacrificed
for his arm, and then he probably deconstructed the notes and read them?
Possible Mistake.
Episode 42: Lust "your arm is only able to destroy
things" (CONTRADICTION)
Lust is not an Alchemist. So her
words mean nothing.
Episode 22:
1)Envy "No one created us! We were born!". Aren't
the anime homunculus the ones
that exist after a failed human transmutation made by an
alchemist, making it an
alchemist's creation? (MISTAKE + CONTRADICTION LATER ON)
Homunculi are born as a human being, then they die at birth
or are dead before they are full developed, Alchemist’s then attempt human
transmutation which then result in the dead body (human) to be “transmutated”
into a homunculus if the transmutation failed.
So Envy was correct. They were born.
2)After seeing the last episodes we know that Dante is an
alchemist and knows how
to create the Philosopher's Stone since she saw how the Hohenheim
created the
previous one. Then why can't she (even if they are referring
to Hohenheim right now)
create the stone? Why must be another one, when even Scar,
not being an alchemist
since he couldn’t go far away from the second step of
alchemy, could do it? (LOOSE
END)
Do you pick up on everything your teacher says? Hohenheim
could also be more skilled than Dante, and know more about the actual
transmutation than Dante. Dante also didn’t go out much, and Hohenheim was an
accomplished Alchemist.
3) After Ed touches the incomplete Philosopher's Stone
(which amount and more is
needed to create the Philosopher's Stone) he enters in
reaction with it, and further
more, he is very farther more decontrolled than when he
touches the real
Philosopher's Stone later on. Does this mean that no
alchemist is able to touch the
stone because it would get uncontrolled? Then, what about
Al? Isn't he an alchemist?
Why doesn't he get decontrolled? Why can't anyone use
alchemy in front of him
because it would happen anything but Dante, Tucker and Al?
(LOOSE END)
When Ed comes into contact with the Red Water + Incomplete
Stone, there is a tremendous reaction because not only is he standing in it
directly + couldn’t move but it was a huge amount of RW + IS.
Ed + Al don’t come into contact for more than a second when
they collide. If Edward continued to
touch Al the reaction would probably be more uncontrolled.
Alchemist’s can touch the philosopher’s stone but first they
have to know how to use it or else they might trigger a reaction that is
unknown to them.
4) Since Ed is touching the red water, and he is completely
uncontrolled, why does
he stop when Maria Ross embraces him? Wouldn't it be
supposed to take him away
from the fluid in order to stop him because he, by himself,
isn't the one controlling it,
but the fluid him? (NONSENSE, resort to add dramatic to the
scene)
Ed probably stops reacting to the water simply because he
closed his eyes and feel unconscious.
Episode 26:
1) Hakuro reappears and he still has the part of the ear he
shouldn't have, and I
wonder, where's the nice guy we saw in episode 5, who was
worried about the
passengers, instead of this new Hakuro that seems to be a
Jerk that only wants
power?
Already Answered Above.
---(Anime's Second Half, when it got separated from the
manga; more each episode)---
(The interesting part starts here)
Episode 28:
1)Al goes to the sea fishing, he is just partially
submerged in the water, still, he
stands up and has all his inside armor full of water, why?
(MISTAKE)
It is possible to go fishing without getting the blood seal
wet.
2)Since he had the inside armor full of water with fishes,
his transmutation circle,
which is carved with blood (which can be removed with water
or a simple scratch),
must have been in complete contact with said water. Also,
when you put a fish on a
shallow container (more if there are more than one) it
starts jumping, which in this
case would increment the risk of touching and scratching
Al's armor's transmutation
circle. Also, fishes use to scratch their surroundings with
their mouth. If we take
instance that Al's inside armor was full of water, that
would mean that not only the
transmutation circle was in contact with water, but that
the fishes it's very probably
that started scratching said circle. Then... Why Ed doesn't
say anything but "Dry
yourself or you'll oxidate"? Why doesn't Al say
anything either? Why isn't the
transmutation circle removed? (MISTAKE + CONTRADICTION
LATER ON)
NOTE: In the manga, Al’s never been in the water as an
armor.
Al’s armor isn’t full of water, fishes don’t ALWAYS have to
jump/bite their surrounds, Also the circle probably has to be in water for a
few seconds if not minutes for it to be destroyed. Ed + Winry were mainly
worried when al got “blown” into the water because his whole body and circle
was in direct contact with water + Al couldn’t swim.
3) Ed's left leg is made of steel, which means it's heavier
than his other leg. That
would cause to leave a deeper footstep, specially in a soft
surface like the sand.
Then, why are his footsteps of the same deepness? Same
happens with Al, why are
his footsteps the same deepness as Ed's? (MISTAKE)
1. Ground Level
2. You can control how hard you put your foot down.
4) Wrath is able to use alchemy because he has Ed's arm and
leg, but shouldn't he
have his own power homunculus? Shouldn't his arm and leg be
just a plus he got?
(LOOSE END)
Homunculus’s can’t use alchemy so Wrath doesn’t gain a
“power” simply because he is part human and part homunculus. Theory.
5) Wrath has about 10 years when he appears, but in the
first place he was
transmutated as a baby, so since the homunculus don’t age
by themselves but Pride,
did he keep growing thanks to Ed's arm and leg? (LOOSE END)
Wrath aged on the inside the gate
or on the other side (
Episode 29:
1) Al "When I came back, I was already in this body,
and the thing that was
supposed to be our mother was no longer there" à What? Episode 3: When Al
comes back we see how he has Ed in his arms and sees the
thing they transmutated
while he says “What happened to mom?” Ed “It wasn’t human”
and then Al sees the
thing they transmutated, so it was still there after Al
woke up in that body.
(MISTAKE + CONTRADICTION)
“The thing that was suppose to be out mother was no longer
there” Al could be referring to that the
thing that was suppose to be their mother wasn’t there but instead something
else was there. A monster dare I say.
2) We are shown a trail coming from where the child was
transmutated. This
suggests that that the child was buried OR that he went out
the door in that exact
place about 10 years ago. The first case would be
impossible since she gave it to the
door. In the second case, the trace shouldn't be so
proportional since when he got
out, he already had Ed's leg and arm, who should have been
much more bigger than
even his current body. Also, how did that trace manage to
keep intact after all those
years? Doesn't the rain and/or other erosion factors affect
that ground? (MISTAKE)
Wrath could have come from the door the day Ed + Al came on
the island a second time or he could have come a few days or so before that, So
while crawling out into a new world Wrath made that trail.
Episode 30:
1) Since when is a military watch as long as to wrap a body
with it and as hard as to
keep someone from moving? (STUPID THING)
Can Armstrong not use alchemy? Armstrong used alchemy to
extend the watch, and tie up Ed.
Episode 1: Cornello himself was strong enough to tear it
off from his belt.
2) Izumi presents again the idea of the homunculus being
created by a human
transmutation failure, but then again... wasn't wrath born
by going out the gate?
Didn’t Envy say in episode 22 that the homunculus weren’t
created but born?
(CONTRADICTION)
Wrath was born, (Izumi gave birth to him) Wrath became a
homunculus after Izumi tried bringing him back. But Wrath did age inside the
gate.
3) Izumi gave the child to the door, but what did she
obtain in exchange? Even if
there’s no equivalent exchange, as it is suggested at the
end of the series, there’s still
the law that you obtain something by sacrificing another
thing. (MISTAKE)
It’s quite simple, Izumi gave
wrath to the door. In order to give something do you have to receive something?
Izumi’s goal by giving wrath to the door was simply to get rid of him, not to
obtain anything.
Episode 31:
1)The anime affirms that Wrath was born BY HIMSELF. Then
why does Izumi say
she created him? (CONTRADICTION)
Izumi created wrath, Wrath aged on inside the gate. Izumi did
create him and wrath did help his evolution but wrath says he was born by himself simply because he doesn’t
want to accept the fact that Izumi is his mother.
2)Envy, after saying in Episode 22 that they weren't
created but born, suddenly says:
"Understand it. We were created by this Stone".
Not only he contradicts himself but
with this statement he contradicts what the anime says
about the homunculus being
born (since it was what they first declared). Also,
according to Izumi in episode 30,
weren't they human transmutation failures? We can't know
about other homunculus
case, but it's for sure Sloth wasn't created by the red
stone. (CONTRADICTION +
MISTAKE)
Envy is most likely talking about the powers they received
and the stones also helped them live. Other questions are previously answered.
3) Since Wrath was created using Izumi's child's abortion's
body, when we are shown
him inside the door, shouldn't he have that body? And since
they say that
homunculus adopt a form and power when they eat the red
stone, which he hadn't
eaten yet, then shouldn't he still have the aspect of that
transmutated baby?
(MISTAKE)
Wrath has the body of the child on the other side of the
gate. He shouldn’t have the aspect of the transmutated baby because the baby
was a new born and Wrath has aged since then.
4)Wrath says he had to wait very much time, even after
having Ed's leg and arm,
until the door suddenly opened. Then, shouldn't he be about
5 years old or so?
(assuming he's able to keep growing thanks to Ed's limbs,
and while according to
what they showed us, that inside the door he didn't even
have his previous
transmuted-human form, and because of that, assuming he
couldn't grow inside
that door) Also, Why didn’t he get out when Ed opened the
door to transmutate his
mother and take Al’s soul? Why did he go and take an arm
and a leg? And why did
he need them inside that door? (MISTAKE)
Wrath had to wait simply because he was not done “adapting”
to his new parts, and still couldn’t figure a way out. Wrath wasn’t fully
developed when Ed opened the door, and he was probably just like all those
other “children” inside the gate. He didn’t go out simply because he couldn’t.
3) Why did the door open? Why was Wrath the only one able
to come out?
(FAVOURITISM TOWARDS WRATH + EXCUSE SO HE WOULD HAVE ED’S
LEG AND ARM + LOOSE END)
Wrath knew of the other side of the
gate, so his goal was to get out of that world and get his “whole” body.
Episode 33:
1) How is Dante able to control her own transfer from body
to body while her soul is out
of her body and going into the other? (MISTAKE +
CONTRADICTION + LOOSE
END)
Can you not perform a transmutation on yourself?
3) According to Greed in episode 33: “I want the immortality!
And that’s possible with
you. I’ll have the secret of the soul”. But, according to
Wrath, homunculus don’t have
soul. ?(NONSENSE)
Greed has a “soul” all living things have “souls” but
homunculus souls are different then ours.
Episode 34:
1) Envy says he was himself the one that sealed Greed for
100 years. Greed says 130
years (?). Lust says that it was Hohenheim or Dante the one
that sealed him and for
140 years. (CONTRADICTION)
Envy + Dante could both have sealed them, remember homonculi
cant use alchemy so Dante or Hohenheim had to help Envy make the seal. Envy probably lured Greed into the Seal.
2) Why is Ed on Dante’s home? Wasn’t he supposed to be with
Archer when they tell
him he’s looking for him and he supposedly goes to him?
(RUSHING THINGS)
Ed + Izumi + Husband escaped from the military
3) When Greed is placed in the center of the transmutation
circle, it activates. How
does the transmutation circle activate? NOTE: Dante doesn’t
clap nor anything.
(MISTAKE)
By stepping into the middle, but Dante could have activated
it since it didn’t show what she was doing right before it was activated.
4) What power does Dante have that she is able to disappear
in 10 exact seconds in a
big place?? (RUSHING THINGS + BONES’ SUPER-REALISM)
Disappear? She could have run up the stairs and into a room.
5) When did Greed say “The homunculus have the same human
structure as humans”?
(MISTAKE) NOTE: He told him that in the manga.
Homunculus’s are only lacking in “soul” not body.
6) Greed says: “We are weak in front of the bones of the
ones that tried to resurrect us.
That’s the homunculus’ weakness spot”. About 1 minute
before that, Dante said
“Those are your bones” while he starts weakening because of
his bones. Also, Lust,
Pride and Sloth are killed with the power of their own
bones, and not the ones that
come from the one that tried to resurrect them. (MISTAKE +
CONTRADICTION)
NOTE: It’s checked that he says that in Japanese too and
it’s not a translation mistake.
Homunculi are weakened in the presence of their own bones. They could also be weakened from the bones of
the ones that tried to resurrect them. (Must be dead though)
7) Ed didn’t see how Greed’s head was cut-off and yet he
says “I thought you couldn’t
die even if your head was cut-off!!!ӈ Why?
Ed knows Greed is a Homunculus, no homunculus should die if
you cut their heads off.
8) According to the anime, there’s no alchemy in that world
that can make change of
form a human body (Episode 46). Then what are the chimeras?
What did tucker do to
Nina and the other chimeras??
Wrong, according to the anime there IS alchemy in the world
that can change the form of a human body.
Episode 35:
1) Why is Lust, being a homunculus, able to give power to
the incomplete
Philosopher’s Stone? How did she do it? What power did she
use? (LOOSE END +
ADAPTATION)
Lust didn’t give power to the incomplete stone, after
watching it again I didn’t see anything like that.
2) How is Envy able to spread a sickness? (LOOSE END +
ADAPTATION)
Maybe it is an unknown sickness that Dante discovered, or
Dante “cooked” up the disease by using alchemy.
Episode 36:
1) According to what Martel said in episode 39, Ishbal’s
war took place 14 years ago
(and finished): Martel: “I’ve been in that laboratory for
14 years” Al “Right after
what happened in Ishbal?”.
Rick is not more than 10 years old. It’s impossible for him
to have witnessed and
remember what happened in the war, since according to
Marco, the war lasted 7
years, he should be 3 years old at the most, but still, he
remembers as if he had 5
years or more. (MISTAKE)
“Right after
what happened in Ishbal?”
Right after the war stopped probably or after they were sentenced to
death.
You can not assume Rick’s age. For a tragedy like that I
think people should remember it. Mother dies, half of Ishbal destroyed.
2) Sloth says that she wants Lust and Gluttony to go after
Ed and Al so they won’t see
what happened in Ishbal. But Seconds later why does she say
they can kill them to
finish things faster? Don’t they want Ed and Al to create
the Philosopher’s Stone?
(CONTRADICTION)
The Homunculus are now concerned with Scar and his attempts
to make the stone, they don’t want Ed + Al to stop Scar.
Episode 39:
1) According to Martel in Episode 33: “ We were soldiers in
the past. Just when we
were about to die, we were sent to the investigation sector
where we were used for
experiments”. Then why does she say now that they where
sent there when they
were captured (and we see them alive and without a single
scratch on them) as
criminals and used them for experiments? Anyways, why would
they do that? Didn’t
they have the jail right next to them? (NONSENSE +
CONTRADICTION)
To answer your questions as to why they used them as
experiments was because their fighting skills surpassed any of the prisoners.
2) What purpose does Martel have when she gets inside of
Al? Ed: “I can’t
understand” Martel: “just wait”àI’m still waiting. (NEVER EXPLAINT, A
SIMPLE RESORT TO ADD A MISTERIOUS EFFECT AND A NATURAL
DARK SHADOW OVER HER FACE TO PUT IT MORE BEAUTIFULL).
Martel was telling how to just wait, meaning to listen to
their plan.
3) Lust says: “Pride said we kill anyone that discovers
Ishbal’s secret. Who would have
thought that we would find Ed in Lior again?” à Weren’t they supposed to be
following them so they didn’t get near the truth of Ishbal?*Wasn’t
Sloth the one that
said to kill them to finish things faster in episode 36?
How does affect Ed’s
presence in Lior to Ishbal’s truth? It would have been
understandable if they didn’t
get surprised at his presence in there and were actually
stalking him, but since it
wasn’t like that, ??? (NONSENSE + CONTRADICTION)
They weren’t supposed to be following Ed they were following
Scar. If Ed found out the truth of
Ishbal then he would have probably stopped Scar so that Lior didn’t become
another Ishbal.
4) Why is the transmutation circle for the Philosopher’s
Stone of Lior different from
the one on the 5th laboratory and Marco’s notes (according
to episode 15) and from
the one that has Scar on his arm when the method used to create
it is the same?
(Sacrificing lots of humans lives, even if in the other
cases they had red water or
incomplete Philosopher’s Stone, it was exactly the same,
since they were the result
of human’s lives) (CONTRADICTION)
The Lior transmutation circle is
probably “different” because they are only focusing on humans, and not red
water or the incomplete stone. Also who
said the 5th laboratory was the correct transmutation circle. Ed
also says after the 5th lab incident that he saw the P.S.
transmutation circle, (he showed Hughes a picture of the Lior transmutation
circle)
Episode 40:
1) When Al fights Kimbley, he draws a small transmutation
circle. But suddenly it gets
bigger than kimbley’s space, surrounding him. (A CRAP AND
RESORT JUST TO
MAKE IT LOOK MORE BEAUTIFULL)
Did Ed not do the same thing in the 5th Lab? When he
created the transmutation circle on the ceiling? But here it might be different
since Al isn’t Ed, so Al could have used alchemy to make the circle bigger,
hint: the first “shinny” was for the circle to become bigger and then the
circle “shinned” again and trapped Kimbly
2) Hakuro reappears; he still doesn’t have the hole on his
ear and this time, again,
seems to be a nice person instead of the jerk from ep 26.
(MISTAKE +
NONSENSE)
Healing, Alchemy. Probably, and Hakuro wants power. He can
change his attitude accordingly.
3) The transmutation circle used by Scar’s brother to
revive his girlfriend is more
similar to the one Scar uses to create the Philosopher’s
Stone in episode 42. What
does the Philosopher’s Stone have to do with the human
transmutation? NOTE:
Scar’s brother did never create the Philosopher’s Stone,
and he didn’t even started
learning about it befor that. (MISTAKE)
Ther transmutation circle only looks like the one for the
P.S. scar’s brother didn’t know a lot about alchemy then, and he always was
studying the “Great Art” which could have a different transmutation circle for
human transmutation
4) Episode 38, Martel: “The Ishbalians were all defeated
without resisting and any kind
of armed raising” (ß Is
that a word? XD “Levantamiento Armado” in Spanish).
Then why are they saying, and showing, that they answered
to the attack (armed)?
(CONTRADICTION)
Martel was most likely talking about the time the special
forces attacked, when Martel + the group attacked Ishbal there was no resistance
and Martel was sent to the 5th Lab after the special forces were
done (before the actual “war”)
5) Why does the incomplete Philosopher’s Stone only react
when Scar’s brother notices
it, instead of reacting just by being near the
transmutation circle he has on his body?
(STUPID THING)
Why do I react to a fly until I see it? Scar’s brother IS the
stone so he would have to notice it for anything to happen.
6) Why does Scar’s brother die when he doesn’t have any
kind of bleeding scratch on
his body? His lost arm isn’t bleeding either, why? NOTE: He
isn’t a living red stone
anymore. (MISTAKE + STUPID THING)
Scar’s brother dies because he gave his arm to Scar (which
took A LOT of blood) and they could have been internal bleeding.
7) Why does Scar’s brother lose his tattoo on the whole
body while the arm where it’s
supposed to be remains exactly the same (unchanged), and
his body doesn’t have the
tattoo either? And also, why in later episodes, when Scar
transmutes his arm into
Al, the tattoo changes and spreads all along Al’s armor? It
would be understandable
if the tattoo from Scar’s arm was changed, meaning it was
all sent into it.
(MISTAKE)
Without the Arm his “transmutation circle” isn’t full so it
disappears, or Scar’s brother had the lives of people inside his whole body so
he had to transfer everything to that arm.
8) Since when someone can take lives from something dead?
Ed “He was taking the
lifes of the dead people of Ishbal in order to create the
Philosopher’s Stone inside of
him” àAccording to episode
41, doesn’t the Philosopher’s Stone need living human
lifes? (CONTRADICTION + ADAPTATION)
Im pretty sure Ed is referring to the “dying” people of
Ishbal those seconds away from death. So basically they either die, or go
towards the stone.
9) Why when Martel is killed by the Fuhrer inside of Al’s
armor, her blood doesn’t get
mixed with Al’s transmutation circle, as it happens in the
manga, and makes Al see
all that happened inside the door? (EXCUSE IN ORDER TO
DON’T MAKE
HAVE THE OPORTUNITY TO MAKE TRANSMUTATIONS LIKE EDà
FAVOURITISM TOWARDS ED)
Martel was below the Blood seal, it
is still possible that no blood reached the seal. If the manga and the anime
where the same then that would be kind of boring.
Episode 41:
1) Why, having Wrath Ed’s human arm and leg, is he able to
manipulate not his own
body, which is not human but homunculus’, but Ed’s human
arm too? (MISTAKE +
ADAPTATION) NOTE: According to the anime there’s no alchemy
that can
manipulate a human arm (Episode 46).
Wrath can manipulate his body with anything. According to the
anime Alchemy exists like that. Izumi “I know, I never taught you foolish
alchemy like that.”
2) Wrath “I shouldn’t worry since I don’t have an original
body. My body was part of
the ingredients for the transmutation” 1) How does he know
that?
Envy told him all about his past and how a Homunculus is
born.
2) Then shouldn’t he have that body when he is inside the
door?
Why are we shown the same body all the creatures have
inside that door? Does that
mean that what’s inside the door are people/baby’s who’s
transmutation failed and its
creators sent them there?
The body was part of the ingredients for the transmutation.
And no it doesn’t mean that all those “kids” inside the door where failed human
transmutations. It could be possible though, but they could be like the imps in
hell or something, like Izumi said “It was more like Hell”
3) How did he replace his bodies parts with Ed’s? (Personal
comment:
superglue XDDDD) NOTE: No homunculus, as homunculus
himself, can do alchemy.
Did he use the same magic as Dante opening the door? Or the
same as Envy making the
birds fly and chirp?
Wrath took Ed’s arm and leg and they became part of him. The
Door did that most likely.
4) Since the only homunculus that can grow is Pride, and
assuming
Wrath can grow because of Ed’s arm and leg, why is he
bigger than a simple
orphan when he stole
Ed’s arm and leg? (LOOSE ENDS + MISTAKES)
Wrath grew either on the “other side” of the gate, or inside
the gate itself.
2) Why after blowing up Kimbley’s all internal organs
(including the heart) is he able to
not only move and breath but talk too?
NOTE: If an internal explosion in made, not only his
internal organs would be
blown up, but the ribs would blow up too, causing its fragments
to thrust into his lungs
and other internal organs. àIt would be an instant death for sure. Since the attack was
made from behind, his spinal cord would have been blown up
too, but still he keeps
moving. (BONES’ SUPER REALISM)
Scar is able to destroy “anything”
he desires, so if he wanted to destroy the kidney he would just deconstructed
it and never reconstruct it. Also if
you say its Bones’ super realism then what about the Alchemy (being able to use
it with circles) and what about ALL the other anime shows that have super
realism.
Episode 42:
1) If Scar’s arm is a part of the transmutation circle of
the Philosopher’s Stone, and a
red stone, and as Ed explained on episode 40 he uses
alchemy, but he only
unconsciously understands how things work and doesn’t reach
the 3th step, which is
“Reconstruction”, and stops at the 2nd: “breakdown”, Why
does Lust say that his
arm is able to only destroy things? àMeaning that even if he could, he wouldn’t be
able to create anything. (CONTRADICTION)
Is Lust an accomplished Alchemist Like Ed?. Lust has only
seen scar destroy things.
2) Since Ed is the only one that knows how the soul and
Al’s armor are tied together,
no other alchemist can fix him nor make any transmutation
in him. So why does Scar
transform him into a Philosopher’s Stone? (MISTAKE)
Is it that hard? Ed can repair him basically no one else can,
doesn’t mean that no one can change Al’s steel or anything else.
3) After Lust says that Scar’s arm can only destroy, and Ed
says he stops on the 2nd
step (he can’t realize how to create things), and after
Tucker saying in episode 21
that no normal alchemist could create the Philosopher’s
Stone..., why is Scar, not
even having any knowledge of alchemy (all he does is
understand how things are
made unconsciously), is he able to not transmute something
but... create the
Philosopher’s Stone? (MISTAKE + CONTRADICTION + RESORT TO
CREATE
THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE AND RUSH THE ENDING AND GIVE A
ROLE WITH “SENSE” TO SCAR)
Simple really, if ones caries the burdens of all those who
died then the stone will be created.
Scar made the Circle either by Chance, or by realizing what he could
do. Scar did see the transmutation
circle in the 5th Lab.
4) Why is Ed able to make a transmutation without clapping
but making contact with
one palm and his fist? (MISTAKE + ADAPTATION)
As long as a full “array” is made, as long as he completes
the circuit somehow it should work.
5) How is Scar able to understand his arm’s tattoo and
nature (remember he can’t
understand alchemy as much as to create anything and that’s
why he unconsciously
reaches the 2nd step of a transmutation but can’t go on) as
much as to transfer it
into Al’s armor? (MISTAKE + RESORT TO CREATE THE P.S.
INSIDE OF
Scar learned of his arms true nature from the Ishbalian
exile.
6) When Scar transmutes his arm into Al, where the hell
does it go? The only change
we see, are his tattoos that now are all over Al’s armor.
But where’s the arm~?
(MISTAKE)
The arm you should say is “equivalent” exchange. Basically
Scar is transferring the stone into Al’s body.
7) Why isn’t Lust weakened near her original’s hair as
Greed was with his bones, when
in episode 40 she even fainted? (MISTAKE)
Probably just because she felt she accepted her past and
remembered her past.
8) How did Scar take a human body up to a building without
both arms? (MISTAKE)
That is a mistake unless someone helped him bring it up. Or
he slowly but surely brought it up by kicking or pushing it.
9) Why isn’t Scar bleeding to death without his two arms
(Note that the Cava Vein
goes through the left arm, and it’s the most important
vein, which if it’s cut you
would bleed to death in a few seconds (the same as the
Ahorta artery in the right
leg)) and three bullets on his upper body, when even in
episode 40, according to
Scar’s brother, if he didn’t give his arm Scar would have
died by the lack of his right
arm? (BONES’ SUPER-REALISM)
If Scar seals the wound tight then he can survive.
10) When the transmutation is made Lior disappears. In
episode 49 they explain that the
city they show us, and the first from which the other
Philosopher’s Stone came, was
put underground by alchemy. Also, the Philosopher’s Stone
only requires human
lives. If we take all this in consideration, why do the
buildings of Lior disappear (and
not destroy by the power of the transmutation since there
aren’t any kind of
evidences but a plain straight sand land) without track?
(MISTAKE +
CONTRADICTION= STUPID THING)
Who said the transmutation circle could only kill people? Couldn’t it be used to destroy everything in
its radius?
11) Why is Scar able to activate the transmutation circle
without being able to
understand alchemy properly and even without having his arm
(and so: the red stone)
with him? (MISTAKE + RESORT IN ORDER TO SCAR COULD CREATE
THE
PHILOSOPHER’S STONE AND RUSH THE ENDING)
Who said he activated it and not the actual P.S. stone (Al)
12) Scar dies right after the transmutation circle is
activated. Even Al having Scar’s
tattoo inside of him... shouldn’t be an alchemist there
that would control the whole
transmutation process, as well as direct it into Al?
(NONSENSE + ADAPTATION)
Al is probably the one that activated it without knowing,
since he was the stone, and who said the transmutation had to be controlled and
direct it into Al.
Episode 43:
1) Ed awfully tired: “Why the hell are you running so
fast?” Al “Well, somehow, my
body feels lighter now” à???? That means that Al was able to feel after all before
he
had the Philosopher’s Stone. But yet again, how many times
did they say that he
couldn’t feel? à Episode
6: “I’m sure about something. I want to be able to touch
you again, brother. Isn’t it strange? We are together, but
yet again I can’t remember
how it was the feeling of touching you”
Episode 33: “I can’t feel anything, but I don’t like how
this feels”
Episode 38: “It’s fine with me , but you brother...” à Meaning he doesn’t get tired.
(CONTRADICTION + ADAPTATION + MISTAKE)
Body feels lighter could be a general statement, Al still has
feelings.
2) Ed “I must have reacted to the Philosopher’s Stone
subconsciously”. When he came
in (indirect) contact with the incomplete Philosopher’s
Stone in episode 22, the
reaction he generated was far more greater than now that he
touched the real
complete Philosopher’s Stone. Isn’t that too strange?
(NONSENSE)
Like I stated above Ed came into direct contact with the red
water + the incomplete stones, and Ed couldn’t get out of the way. Ed only touched the Complete Stone for less
than a second.
3) Since every single alchemist that tries to touch the
Philosopher’s Stone there is a
reaction, does that mean that no one could have the
Philosopher’s Stone? / What
happens with Al? Isn’t he an Alchemist? Why didn’t happen
any kind of reaction
because of it? (LOOSE END)
You have to have the knowledge of how to use the stone.
4) Archer loses his left-side of his body: The Cava vein is
ripped off as well as part of
the jugularà 10
second before you bleed to death.
His stomach , intestines and lungs, are also ripped off
(assuming that there’s the
casualty that he doesn’t get his heart ripped off) àIt’s not possible to live without the
stomach, in fact, surgery of the stomach is very risky
because of that.
Why is he still alive and keeps living in a bed with just
some bandages? (BONES’
SUPER-REALISM, but hey, he had to be alive to take off
NOTE:
(he even didn’t get seriously hurt when Pride stuck his
sword through him since
that area is an “empty” area, where there aren’t any vital
spots), and Scar was about
to die by just losing his right arm when we are shown how
he got his brother’s arm.
And also, Scar’s brother was about to die by losing just
one non-bleeding arm.

Note: Its anime, not everything has to make sense, like DBZ
getting a hole in the stomach
5) According to Episode 44, Hohenheim left home when Ed was
6. That means that he
knew Winry, and that Winry’s parents should be older than
15-16 yeras old. Then
why did Hohenheim ask Winry whether she is Sara (her
mother)? (RESORT TO
SHOW US HE DIDN’T CHANGE IN THIS WHOLE TIME AND THAT HIS
VERY OLD + MISTAKE)
Hohenheim’s sense of time was probably lost in his years of
traveling, and he probably didn’t even realize Winry was so much older.
6) Armstrong: “They can’t be very far away”
Alphonse go through the water” Armstrong “It must be
because of that blood sign”
à The first time they ever mention that he can’t submerge
into the water. And I
wonder, what happened then in episodes 28 and 3??? (CLEAR
EXCUSE FOR THE
HUMOROUS MOMENT COMING IN NEXT EPISODE SO NOONE WOULD
GET CONFUSED AND SHOW SOME EFFECTS THE PHILOSOPHER’S
STONE HAD ON
General Statement to make sure the audience knows about Al’s
Seal. And the other questions are answered above.
Episode 44:
1) After Sloth says that Lust opposed to the order Dante
gave, Lust answers her with
this “Sloth, don’t you want to become human?”. After that,
Sloth answers her “Of
course I want to. But I was born with another purpose on my
mind. That’s my only
target.” à What
is she talking about? (IT’S NEVER EXPLAINT=LOOSE END)
Since Ed and Al created her, it’s impossible for it to be
Dante’s immortality desire.
And, weren’t homunculi human transmutation failures’
creations?
Sloth either wants to kill her creators, or help Dante
complete her goal first. Without Dante none of them would have a chance to
become human.
2) Winry: “He can’t fell to the water!!” Ed “Al!!! Al!!!
Al!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Al “Brother!
I can swim!! I can swim!!” à Since when can’t he fall to the water? What did he do
in episodes 28 and 3? Why suddenly such a fuss about it?
Why didn’t anyone say
anything about him being poured with water on episodes 28
and 3? (MISTAKE +
ADAPTATION + CONTRADICTION + EXCUSE TO SHOW US SOME
EFFECT THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE HAD ON HIM)
Already Answered Above.
3) Hohenheim “If you give a homunculus his source of life,
which is the red stone, they
obtain power and a human formӈ Then why did Wrath have a human form before
eating it? Inside the door he couldn’t have eaten those red
stones, so, what kind of
power did he have to attach Ed’s limbs into his body?
(MISTAKE +
CONTRADICTION)
Wrath developed his Human form inside or on the other side.
NOTE: He couldn’t have been because of Ed’s limbs, since we
are shown how they
are bigger than his other parts. It only could allow him
grow up. Anyways, since
Ed’s arm and leg are human, they should have grown up too,
but it keeps untouched
as his homunculus body keeps growing.
My Theroy: Wrath was inside the gate until he got Ed’s Arm +
Leg, then he went into the “other side” of the gate and was aging in “the
other” Wrath’s Body.
4)
episode 22 that homunculus weren’t created but born? Didn’t
Wrath say the same in
episode 31, that he wasn’t created but born?
(CONTRADICTION)
Humans are born, then they die, and homunculi are created
from the failed transmutation. So they
are both.
5) Al “Why can’t the homunculus use Alchemy?” Hohenheim
“Because they come from
the other side of the door”. àWe are shown that on the other side of the door is
We are just a body and a psique” (episode 31), it’s impossible
they come from the
other side of the door, or are they just bodies and psiques
from the other side? But
then again... don’t they have the exact shape of the ones
they were being
transmuted to and their memories, that are from Amestris’
world? Even if instead
of coming from the other side of the door they came from
inside the door, which are
the rules of said door that they can’t use Alchemy? à (CONTRADICTION +
LOOSE END + MISTAKE)
They are the bodies from the other side.
Some answer I would have given to the last question:
Because being from inside the door they don’t have the same
door humans have inside
of them in order to open it and use the lives of people
from the other side of the door as
power for alchemy.
Possible
6) If you need the Philosopher’s Stone to transfer a soul
to another body..., why when
Ed travels to the other world is he able to be in someone
else body without trouble?
NOTE: Hohenheim, episode 49 “Your soul and mind must have
been attached to
the body of this Edward”. [spoiler] Since in the Film Hughes is alive in
means that their souls are different, even if they are
counterparts, which means that
they are like 2 different poeple. [/spoiler] (MISTAKE + CONTRADICTION)
You need the P.S to transfer from
body to body in Amsteris. But once you die you go to the other side, and live a
life there. Probably.
Episode 45:
1) Dante “If I hadn’t have so many husbands, the secret of
my slow aging would have
been discovered” àWhat
does she do to them? Does she eat them? Does she f***
them? Does she drink them and so she ages slowly because of
that? Why was she on
an old woman’s body if she has a secret to the slow aging?
Why is she the only one
that ages? What happens with Hohenheim? Wasn’t he the one
that tought her
everything? (NOTE: Dante minute 0 second 50: “400 years
ago, when we first met,
and I still didn’t know a thing”) Is Hohenheims slow aging
technique the same? If
it’s so, why doesn’t he get old? (LOOSE END + NONSENSE)
Hohenheims slow aging technique is only because he didn’t
transfer to as many bodies as Dante.
Dante just simply kills her husbands.
2) Why is the transmutation circle of the Philosopher’s
Stone again the same as
Marco’s and Scar’s? (MISTAKE)
Can they not be the same?
3) Lust, after saying that she wouldn’t follow any order
Dante gave her because she
wanted to be human, meaning that she knew what Dante was
after, she suddenly
asks her “Do you mean that the reason why you made us look
for the Philosopher’s
Stone is-?” (CONTRADICTION IN ORDER TO EXPLAIN AND MAKE
CLEAR
DANTE’S PURPOSE TO THE PUBLIC)
A Statement to make sure the audience knows Dante’s true
purpose.
4) Dante “I needed the Philosopher’s Stone after Hohenheim
left meӈ Does that
mean that he still has it? That he didn’t leave any piece
to her as he said before he
was sent to the door? If he had it and not Dante... how did
she manage to change her
body from Dante’s to Lyla’s? (NONSENSE)
Dante a few P.S left over probably, in storage you could
say. Can Dante not hold more than one
stone? She can. Remember 400 years is a
LONG time, some stones could have been collected.
5) Tucker calls Al to Winry’s place. How did he manage to
know that Ed and Al are in
Ressembol, in winry’s house? How did he get the phone
number? If Pride was the
one telling him that... wouldn’t that mean that the
homunculus knew where were
they? Since Greed died, who was the one that informed him?
(NEVER EXPLAINT
+ EXCUSE FOR AL TO GO TO TUCKER’S AND SHOW US AND ED+AL
HOW THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE WORKS, AS WELL AS SOME
EVOLUTION ON TUCKER’S PERSONALITY)
Tucker is making an assumption; he doesn’t know that Al is
there. Phone Book= Number.
6) Ed made allusion to Hughes’ death and says “If it was
for revenge, then all Scar
said would be uselessӈ What
is he talking about? What did Scar say about
revenge? Wasn’t he the first in line to take revenge?
Didn’t he create the
Philosopher’s Stone for revenge? (NONSENSE)
Scar had a whole big speech about revenge but I forgot where
it was :P
7) *Hohenheim “Our bodies are eroded a little each time the
transfere happens”, since
Dante hasn’t noticed this after a while, and all the
perfume story’s been mentioned
after she changed her body into Lyla’s, that would mean
that her body shouldn’t be
that rotten, but starting to be rotten. If we take all this
in consideration, when we are
shown hohenheim’s body, it shouldn’t have been so rotten.
Shouldn’t he have start
rotting the same time as Lyla? Farther more, since she
started rotting when she
changed into Lyla, and Hohenheim is suggested to have had
that same unaging body
for more than 100 years..., shouldn’t his body not be
rotten yet? (NONSENSE)
After transferring to sooo many body’s soon Lyra’s body will
have atleast some rot from time to time.
This method is not eternal life since every time they change bodys they
begin to “shorten” their life. Hohenheim didn’t switch to as many bodys as
Dante did.
8) How can both Hohenheim and Dante live in a human rotten
body, where no
circulation is active? How can they have children? (BONES’
SUPER-REALISM)
Why would they not be able to have children? And who said
they had no circulation?
9) Why when we are shown Hohenheim with Ed’s mother he
seems younger if he keeps
unchanged? (MISTAKE)
Maybe the hair, or something like that.
10) Dante “The door is the power of the Alchemy” à According to hohenheim in
episode 50, isn’t the lives of the other world’s people the
power of Alchemy?
(CONTRADICTION)
Dante doesn’t know nearly as much as Hohenheim, and The door
is the power of Alchemy.
11) The door is different from the one shown in episode 29,
minute 14:49, in the last one
it doesn’t have a single thing on top of it, but in episode
45 it suddenly has a baby on
top of the suddenly appeared human bodies. Why? Does it
evolves like a
digimon? à The
more you open it, the more it evolves XDDD (STUPID
THING QUE FLIPAS XD)
Every persons door is different.
12) Dante invokes the door. Since when an invocation is
part of the alchemy or can be
done? If we accept that there’s no law of equivalent
exchange (as it is said by Izumi,
Dante and Hohenheim), there’s still the law that in order
to obtain something, you
need to sacrifice another thing. What does she sacrifice?
(ADAPTATION +
MISTAKE + LOOSE END + EXCUSE TO KEEP THE PLOT GOING ON)
Dante never obtatined something, Dante simply opened the childs
door. Who said she needed to sacrifice
anything?
13) If we ignore the fact that she can make an invocation
and not give anything in
exchange..., why, and specially, how can she actually
control what happens through
the door and the “thingies” that live inside the door?
(SAME AS ABOVE)
Dante doesn’t control the door, once you see the door you
have to make an equivalent exchange or just accept your fate and go through.
14) Dante: “Don’t worry Wrath. You won’t go to the other
side of the door” à Didn’t
he come from inside the door? Does this mean that he comes
from
(MISTAKE)
Nope it didn’t really specify where
he came from, but logically he came from the other side.
Episode 46:
1) Tucker “They (the homunculus) entered and stepped out (from
the 5th laboratory)
whenever they wanted, and that person too...” Al “that
person?” Tucker “The one
that creates and controls the homunculus” à According to Envy and Wrath weren’t
they born and noone created them? (CONTRADICTION AGAIN)
Like I said before they were born, and they were created by
failed human transmutations.
2) Ed knows Dante “is dead”, he saw her and thought it was
Greed’s fault. Why isn’t
he surprised the latest about her being the one controlling
the homunculus? When
did he realize that Lyla was now Dante?
That is all a matter of how Ed felt at the given time. Only Ed himself can explain that, maybe he
was surprised or maybe he wasn’t.
3) Hakuro appears, again, with his ear intact, and I
wonder... Where’s the jerk we saw
in episode 26? He seems pretty the same as the good person
of episode 5.
(CONTRADICTION + MISTAKE)
Personalities can change, and Ears do heal, not to mention
they probably can use alchemy to help the healing process.
4) Envy “The one that played with us (Hohenheim)” àHow so? How did he play? He
only disappeared in order Dante wouldn’t create a new
Philosopher’s Stone.
(LOOSE END)
He played with them by creating them. And by running away.
5) Tucker tries to transmute his daughter using the same
transmutation circle for the
Philosopher’s Stone. What does the transmutation circle for
the Philosopher’s Stone
have to do with the human transmutation and/or memories
implantation?
(MISTAKE)
Tucker used the Stone to try and bring the doll to life. So
he would need the circle. Transmutation
circles are not meant for one thing only.
6) Tucker “This is the method to activate it (The P.S.). Ed
must had realized that at
that time (in the 5th Laboratory” à Activate it? Wasn’t he trying to create the
Philosopher’s Stone? (MISTAKE)
Tucker wanted to activate the Stone in the old lab.
-------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------Special
allusion to TheVileOne who said that in Amestris the Christian religion
doesn’t exist---------
Where does it say that the
Christian Religion doesn’t exist?
Minute 07:30 à Izumi:
“The year in which this letter is based is in Jesuchrist birth”
--------------------------------------------------End of
allusion--------------------------------------
Episode 47:
1) When Lust “kills” Wrath, we can see him running away
from the door. àWhy?
Wouldn’t that mean that he actually died? Why is he the
only one that
experienced that? (EXCUSE SO THEY COULD ADD DRAMA AROUND
THAT CHARACTER AND TO ED SINCE HE STARTS TO SEEK FOR ED’S
MOTHER TOO FROM NOW ON + MISTAKE + FAVOURITISM
TOWARDS WRATH)
Nowhere in episode 47 did Lust “kill” Wrath.
2) Ed transmutates a hand for his broken automail. à Since when can he make a
transmutation without clapping with both hands, but
clapping one of the palm
with the broken and empty automail wrist? What happened in
episode 15 when
he couldn’t fight Scar because he broke that arm and was
about to die by his
hands because of that? Does this mean he can even clap his
hand with the... foot,
and still use alchemy? Also, if he is able to do this,
wouldn’t he be able to fix his
brother at that time and not have to travel with him all
the way? (MISTAKE +
ADAPTATION + EXCUSE IN ORDER TO RUSH THE ENDING àIf he had
had to go to winry and have it fixed it would suppose, at
least, another episode)
Since when did Ed not have to clap his hands? Clapping hands
is a lot faster than any other method so that is probably why Ed is clapping
his hands instead of using, hand-palm, or hand-fist. Hand with foot, I doubt it
since it doesn’t complete the array of the 2 arms.
3) Al leaves a note in episode 46 where he explains he is
with Tucker. Ed read it, so
he knows he is with Tucker. Then, why is he so surprised
when he sees Tucker
beside Al? à Ed
“Tucker! So you were the one that called my brother!”
(MISTAKE + NONSENSE)
Seeing it is more shocking then reading it. It could be an imposter.
4) Sloth grasps Ed with her Aqua form. Why, being Sloth in
contact with Ed, who
has a part of the body of the person she was going to be
transformed into, isn’t
she the least weakened? à In episode 51, when Pride is fighting Roy, his son
goes to him and he touches him, making him unable to move
(almost. He can
move his hands). Then... why is she able to be as if
anything and have great
strength? (MISTAKE)
Pride knows that his son brought the skull since it was what
he showed his son earlier. Sloth didn’t
see the body part or knew that Ed had it.
Even when Pride puts his skull in his safe he was weakened when I saw
him.
5) How does the transmutation circle beneath Sloth
activate? (MISTAKE)
Sloth stepped on it. Or ed activated it from a distance, or
Al activated it from a distance.
6) Sloth, having the original’s bones inside of her,
transforms into water. Where are
the bones? (MISTAKE)
Absorbed by her body, she can transform everything in her
into water. Otherwise her organs would
fall out.
7) After the previous point, not only she is supposed to
have the bones inside of
her, because after all, that’s why she can’t move freely,
but still, why is she able
to move and try to delete the transmutation circle Lust
herself carved on the
ground to seal her? (MISTAKE)
Homunculi are just weakened by the circle and bones they
don’t lose all motion.
8) Ed throws Lust’s necklace to her and she touches and
dodges it à How can she
do that? Didn’t she just touch it? (MISTAKE)
Lust accepts her past, and remembers Scar’s brother.
9) Minute 10:09: Sloth, who still has her original’s bones
inside of her, so, by logic,
she can’t move, appears suddenly in another place fighting
Lust. And I wonder:
where’s the transmutation circle Lust so cautiously carved
on the floor and that
wouldn’t be erased so easily? (MISTAKE + EXCUSE IN ORDER TO
MAKE
SLOTH FITH WITH ED LATER ON AND ADD DRAMA BY MAKING HER
BE INSIDE OF
Homuncului can move while in the circle, they are just
weakened. Lust never said sloth couldn’t
destroy the circle. Its just hard to erase it.
10) When Wrath Kills Lust, he activates the transmutation
circle by clapping à
Since when does he need to clap in order to make a
transmutation? It’s the
second time we see him doing that, but what about all the
other times?
(MISTAKE)
What about the other times, Wrath never activated a
transmutation circle before?
11) Suddenly, Ed and Al’s mother bones appear again. Minute
08:15. (MISTAKE)
How is that a mistake?
12) Why doesn’t Sloth die after she vomited her red stones
(which I wonder where
does she kept them when she transforms herself into water)
and Ed pierces her
with his automail? àNOTE:
Greed died that way. (MISTAKE + EXCUSE IN
ORDER TO GIVE THE DRAMATIC MOMENT THEY HAVE WHEN HE
MAKES HER EVAPORATE SLOWLY IN FRONT OF HIM (and wrath))
Greed died from multiple stab wounds, Sloth also can turn
into water making it less harmful.
13) After that, Al throws the bones outside the building,
and Wrath goes and mixes
them inside of him. When Sloth “rains” (after Ed makes her
explode
transmutating his automail) is touching continuously Wrath,
who has her bones
inside of him, but still why can she keep moving?
Then he transmutes himself and mixes his body (NOTE: Ed’s
human leg is
being transmuted again) with the lower part of her body and
suddenly she
isn’t able to move. Why? (MISTAKE + EXCUSE FOR THE DRAMATIC
MOMENT THEY CHOSE FOR HER DEATH)
Because she was scattered everywhere. Sloth isn’t able to move because she Wrath
has transmuted himself into here.
Episode 48:
1) Why doesn’t Wrath regenerate the burns he gets while
Sloth evaporates? NOTE:
He’s not touching any kind of part of his original’s body
(ehem, although he
himself is part of his original’s body), and he hasn’t
vomited any stone yet.
(MISTAKE)
Wrath doesn’t need to regenerate the burns. It is never stated that it automatically
happens.
2) Izumi suddenly appears. How does she know where they
are? (MISTAKE +
RESORT IN ORDER TO KEEP THE PLOT GOING ON AND RUSH THE
ENDING)
How did the Homunculi find Ed + Al? Izumi can use the phone.
3) *According to Maria Ross, the Fuhrer ordered they killed
the brothers. But don’t
they want the Philosopher’s Stone, which is Al? (NONSENSE)
Well what do you expect the Fuhrer to say, Bring them in they
aren’t traiters and they even after running away they should be given a
chance. The Fuhrer had to act his part.
Odds are no body in the military can kill them.
4) I wonder which material is Archer made of he can gesture
and open the mouth
and smile as if it was natural but can’t talk properly
while having even his natural
tongue and teeth. NOTE: I would bet his body is made of
steel or some metal
since even the sound effect added to his voice is made that
way. (BONES’
SUPER-REALISM)
Automail is super-realism then. And what is anime without super-realism?
Nothing special that’s what.
5) We see how after Ed saying “I hate the Colonel to death”
in episode 44 he is
chatting with him, with no allusion to why he hide Hughes’
death from him.
doesn’t even react when he mentions it and they even smile
at each other. And I
wonder, where’s that hate to death he had towards him?
(NONSENSE + IF
THEY HAD SHOWN THAT, IT WOULD MEAN MORE PLOT AND
ANIMATION TO DO)
Hating to death is sarcasm Ed doesn’t really hate the Colonel
much at all.
6) Also, if the attack is lethal for her, it means that her
body isn’t composed by a
human bodies’ properties itself. For example: The bones are
impossible for them
to transform into water. (MISTAKE)
This is FMA world. Homunculi all
have different powers that are not human. So you don’t need to explain
anything.
Episode 49:
1) We are shown a city that was used to create the Philosopher’s
Stone. But...
didn’t the Hohenheim use ill people plus some incomplete
Philosopher’s Stones
we were shown in episode 45 (what a coincidence 400 years
ago already existed
that kind of recipients), as well as the transmutation
circle Ed was going to use
in the 5th laboratory in episode 22? How can it be that
suddenly he didn’t use that
method but Scar’s same method and sacrifice a whole city?
(MISTAKE +
CONTRADICTION + BONES’ SUPER-REALISM)
Hohenheim had to transmute the I.P.S’s too. The town was all plagued by disease
eventually every1 would get it and be used to make the stone.
2) Dante: “Wonderful... No wonder why Ed and Al fell for
her (Rose)” à So, ok,
we were shown some scenes where Ed protected Rose and Rose
came out of her
trauma thanks to Ed, etc., that could suggest us that he
fell for her. But Al?
When did that happen? When did he act like with Psiren
towards whom he did
show something special for? Wasn’t he the one saying in
episode 25 that “At
least, I would like to fell in love, brother...” when they
say they wouldn’t go to
Dublith? That’s surely enough after he met Rose (Episode 1)
(FAVOURITISM
+ NONSENSE + A FUTILE ATTEMPT AT DOING SOME ORIGINAL
ROMANCE BY THEIR OWN)
In episode 1+2 Al is shown trying to protect Rose, and was
saying maybe there is another way (talking about god + Cain)
3) Why is Wrath still with his burns? Why didn’t he
regenerate already?
(MISTAKE)
Already Answered
4) Minute 09:29: Wrath tries to transmute something. Why is
he trying, and
actually doing it if he wasn’t stopped, without clapping
when he had to do it in
episode 47? àIs
it because there was a transmutation circle then? But yet again,
Edward does it clapping, whether there’s a transmutation
circle or not.
(MISTAKE)
Maybe wrath is in too much pain, remorse, stuff like that, so
he cant use alchemy correctly and efficiently.
5) According to Envy “I don’t want to be human, I’m happy
just by seeing humans
suffer” àDoes
he really need Dante to do so? What does Dante’s purpose of
immortality have to do with that? Can’t he do that by
himself? If Hohenheim was
the one that created him, assuming that he was the one that
gave him power too,
now that he isn’t there, and since it seems Envy isn’t
familiarized with human’s
feelings (Wrath: “Give my mama back!” Envy “Stop talking as
if you were
human!”), why would he still follow Dante? (NONSENSE)
Because Dante was the only one that understood them and gave
them a “home”.
6) Why are Ross and the other’s revealing against Archer?
(LOOSE END)
I don’t understand this question, but Ross is trying to rebel
against the military.
7) Dante, for being in a rotten body that shouldn’t be
moving, is really fast
considering the speed at Ed sent the lance to her while
they start fighting. She is
able to not only clap rather calmly but raise her arm too
before it touched her.
How did she do it when according to the perspective they
can’t be much far
away than 3-4 meters from each other? (BONES’
SUPER-REALISM)
Why wouldn’t Dante be able to move fast for being in that
body? Also maybe your perspective is off, of they could simply have moved, FMA
doesn’t show EVERY spilt second.
8) According to Dante in episode 45, she started changing
herself into other’s
bodies 400 years ago. In this episode she affirms that
she’s changed herself 10
times, leaving 40 years for each body. Wouldn’t her super
secret technique for
slow aging help her be in a body more than 40 years and
this way save the
Philosopher’s Stone for more time and give her more time to
create another one?
Or was she actually saying that her slow aging was the
changing bodies process?
Where the 10 bodies she changed into all married? Even so,
are 10 husbands
really as much as to say “many, many, many, many,
many...”(Episode 45)? If it’s
this last one the case... how can she say that she ages
slowly by switching bodies,
when all she does is not stop by any means the aging, but
restrain her death?
(TWO OPTIONS: 1- DANTE’S IDIOT. 2-NONSENSE OF THE SCRIPT
WRITERS)
She has a super secret technique for slow aging? Did she marry all the times she got a new
body?
9) The 12 point of episode 42.
Already Answered
10) Gluttony attacks Ed by biting and chewing his right
arm. Having the mouth he
has, why none what he’s touching is being devoured?
(MISTAKE + THEY
COULDN’T DO IT BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN THEY WOULD
HAVE TO ANIMATE MORE IN ORDER TO MAKE ED RESTORE HIS
ARM AGAIN)
Gluttony can control his acid, just like a snake.
11) When Ed is sent to
apartment. Why is Hohenheim so familiarized with this other
Edward when,
according to my calculations, he’s not been more than 3
days in that world?
NOTE: The time warp of that world is not too different from
Amestris’s world
since when Ed goes back to Amestris only a few minutes, or
seconds, passed.
3 Days is PLENTY of enough time to get to know people. Also
Episode 50:
1) Ed travel’s to the other world. Hohenheim says “your
soul and mind must have
been attracted to the body of this Edward” àDidn’t they need a Philosopher’s
Stone piece in order to transfer one soul to another body?
Shouldn’t he have
traveled just in mind? (MISTAKE OR LOOSE END à The door might have
had something to do with it, but it’s never explained)
You need the P.S to transfer from body to body in
Amestris. But now you can think of
2)
are two souls and two minds inside of it à How can the body be able to contain
both of them? (LOOSE END à Since the door might have something to
do with it but it’s never explained)
Ed took over the
3) Being still
wonder’s who is the one controlling his body à 1.- Why is Amestris’ Ed the
only one that can control it? (LOOSE END)
Because Ed took over the new vessel, Just like Al took
control of the armor.
2.- After seeing all the episode the only thing he says is
“Who is it? Who are you?”, and I wonder: Where is he
when he even is about to die? Since Ed’s about to die,
isn’t he
scared nor wondering what to do nor anything? Since Ed
didn’t answer him after asking him who he was, why isn’t
him
the least scared nor bother’s Amestris’ Ed?
(SUPER EXCUSE IN ORDER TO ED REALIZE THAT THAT BODY ISN’T
HIS)
Hohenheim wanted to make sure of who was in
4) We can see how Pride put his own bones into a safe. And
I wonder, how can he
do that without being weakened and/or being forced to be
still? Even if it is
because the bone is warped with a cloth, wouldn’t be the
same for Sloth (who’s
bone was inside a box), Lust (who’s hair was inside a
necklace), and Pride
himself in the end of the anime when he can barely move
with only touching his
son, and not actually touching the item itself? (MISTAKE +
CONTRADICTION)
I saw Pride being weakened when putting his Skull into his
safe. Note: His Face Expression.
5) How is Archer able to be alive after a grenade explodes
right in front of him, no
farther away than a foot? Why does he just have a few
scratches on his right side,
which was protected by his left mechanical side, while said
mechanical side keeps
unscratched nor anything? (MISTAKE + BONES’ SUPER-REALISM)
Archer has the ability to move, or shield himself with his
“automail”
6) Hohenheim asks Edward if he’s seen the big explossion
the machines of that
world create “You’ve seen it too, right?” àHow does Edward know about such
an explosion? Are they
his counterpart’s memories too? (LOOSE END)
Right before Ed was transferred into London Ed he was shown
the “new world” and the future. This is due to the door, Hohenheim went through
it also and saw the Nuclear bomb explode.
Ed also learned a lot about alchemy when trying to bring Al back. Ed called it “The Truth”
7) Hohenheim “Dante separated my mind, soul and body inside
the door. I think
I’ve been wandering here for a big while” à According to my calculations he’s
been 2 days in that world. Even if the time goes by
differently in both worlds,
then why when Ed comes back from
seconds/minutes? It’s impossible for hohenheim to have been
in that world for
more than 3 days. Besides, he says “Dante separated my
mind, soul and body
inside the door. But finally I was able to make it through
the door” à meaning
he was some time inside the door too, shortening the time
he’s been in
(MISTAKE + THIS WAY THEY COULD MAKE HOHENHEIM EXPLAIN
SOME PLOT QUESTIONS IN THE FUTURE AND RUSH THE ENDING)
Yes but Hohenheim could have only been in the door for a few
minutes or seconds. Not suggesting days.
8) Hohenheim, having been in
one that wondered about what was in the other side of the
door (episode 45), so
he can’t have been in
familiarized with
body, soul and mind, it should be difficult he could make
as if he was the other
Ed’s some relative. (MISTAKE + EXCUSE IN ORDER TO HE CAN
APPEAR
THERE TO EXPLAIN ED AND US SOME PLOT POINTS AND HOW HE
CAN GO BACK)
Hohenheim only acted as he knew fit, Hohenheim never gave the
“London Ed’s” life story so there is nothing to suggest that Hohenheim knows a
great deal about this ed.
9) Being Dante the first one to wonder about what’s in the
other side of the door,
and actually control the door, and since Hohenheim wasn’t
more than 2 days in
that world... how is it that he knows so much about the
door and the other world
as to affirm that the human lives from that world are the
source of the power they
use for Alchemy in Amestris? (MISTAKE + EXCUSE SO THEY CAN
EXPLAIN SOME PLOT POINTS)
Hohenheim answers this question himself, I don’t remember the
exact words but he was studying it, before he died
10) Why does Hohenheim have even friends on the Military
after being in that world
for just 2 or 3 days? (MISTAKE + EXCUSE SO HE CAN GET AWAY
FROM
WHERE THE ZEPPELIN FALLS)
The “London’s Hohenheim” had friends in the military,
Hohenheim is just fitting as best he can, Its like trying to take over for
someone at work and they believe you are the person you are taking over for, so
you act as if you are them.
11) NOTE: I haven’t seen the film, but I read the summary
and I don’t need to watch
the film to know that it’s true.
Hohenheim “I can’t go back. My body has already crossed the
doorӈ [Spoiler]
Then why is Ed able to travel to Amestris in the film
after his body crossed that
door?”[/Spoiler]
(MISTAKE)
12) Hohenheim “Instead of developing the Alchemy on this
world, there was another
technology developedӈ Meaning
the Alchemy could have been developed, but
it wasn’t. Then why does he say this after a while? à “I can’t use Alchemy
because my body crossed the door. You can still find the
little door everybody
has inside of their body” à 1.- Does that mean that Ed can use Alchemy? Then
why doesn’t he use it when he claps?
Hohenheim is basically saying Alchemy doesn’t exist like it
does in Amestris. Or that technology replaced alchemy, so alchemy doesn’t exist
yet, so they can’t use it.
2.-The fact that the Alchemy wasn’t developed,
doesn’t mean that it can’t be used. (MISTAKES +
CONTRADICTIONS)
Yes, it does, there could be different laws of the world in
13) Why, after a huge Zeppelin fell from the sky on Ed with
an explossion
included, he only has scratches on his head? (BONES’ SUPER-REALISM)
NOTE: And I keep wondering: where’s the other Ed?
No one said the explosion happened directly on Ed, it could
have been far enough away where it send boards flying and one hit Ed hurting
him.
14) Why is still Wrath unregenerate? (MISTAKE)
Answered Above
15) How can Dante control what happens in the door? (LOOSE
END + EXCUSE)
She doesn’t control what happens. When the Door appears something has to be
taken.
16) According to Dante “The Philosopher’s Stone has been
activated. If some
transmutation is made near it, do you know what could
happen?” and she
invokes the door, meaning that the invocation of the door
isn’t an Alchemical
transmutations after all. à What is it, that it even doesn’t need any kind of
sacrifice (equivalent or not) and can be done freely with
just a baby and a simple
circle we don’t know what it is and that allows you to
fully control it? (LOOSE
END OR MISTAKE (if it actually is an alchemical reaction)
It is the basis of all alchemy, the door, and she also didn’t
activate it near the stone. She was far enough away. The door doesn’t need a sacrifice to be
opened.
17) Since when are the homunculus able to do triple mortals
backwards as if they
were grasshoppers, when according to Greed in episode 34
homunculus have the
same human structure as humans? (Envy does the triple
mortal jump) (HUGE
STUPID THING XD)
They could have the same structure as humans and still be
able to jump like that, the stones could have also given them great skills.
Since when is Ed able to kick Al into the water in “Mother”, or since when can
he do all those very hard moves while fighthing/sparring.
18) When Envy changes his face into the Colonel’s (who is
now Brigadier General
(although in my subtitles they decided that
Taisa=Junshou)), why does suddenly
appear the hate to death he had but he didn’t have after a
few episode before
this? Ed: “That’s the easiest face to hit” (CONTRADICTION)
“That’s the easiest
face to hit” that he is talking about Mustang.
And Ed would easily hit Mustang for all the “stuff” he put Ed + Al
through. The humiliation and the short jokes.
19) Episode 14, Lust: “That shape again? You seem young” à They suggest by that
that she knows his original form and that his rather old
(yet again, wasn’t Lust a
“new” homunculus as to know Envy’s true identity?) Envy:
“It’s not that I had
any other option. I forgot which one was mine” à Episode 50: He suddenly
remembers his real face and not only that, but he is the
human transmutation of
Hohenheim and Dante’s child, who’s face is rather young.
(CONTRADICTION
+ MISTAKE)
Envy could have easily told/showed Lust his true identity any
time if he says I Forgot which one was mine.
Who said Envy couldn’t remember his “real” face.
20) Instead of Dante and Hohenheim trying to transmute
their child, why didn’t
they use the Philosopher’s Stone to transmute him properly?
(NONSENSE,
CONSECUENCE OF CHANGING WHERE DID ENVY COME FROM.
THAT, OR DANTE AND HOHENHEIM ARE IDIOTS)
Using the P.S would take up one “body change” and they
probably didn’t have it at the time.
Episode 51: (My favorite XD)
1) Dante suddenly says, after Ed dies, as if nothing
“That’s the reality (referring he’s
dead). Or maybe his sacrifice wasn’t enough.” à Enough for what? What the
hell is she talking about? Ed didn’t sacrifice himself,
Envy killed him by
transforming his arm into a piercing object. (NONSENSE)
Dante wishes to get rid of Ed, or maybe his sacrifice wasn’t
enough was just a way of saying should we kill someone else?
2) Why is Riza arrested with handcuffs when she was only
going to be sent for
interrogation and she only went to the Fuhrer’s house to
warn him the Brigadier
General’s purpose? (Police 1: The Fuhrer told us to take
her to the HQ to
interview her”) à (NONSENSE)
The Fuhrer already knows of the rebellion of Mustang, and Riza
is a witness/ally of Mustang.
3) When the Fuhrer touches his son, he isn’t touching the
bones, but he still can’t
move, when he was able to hide them by himself. Why?
(MISTAKE)
The Fuhrer can move he is just weakened a little.
4)
know he can feel since he’s a Philosopher’s Stone, when
they even got themselves
to show us how he can swim and submerge into the water and
how lighter feels
now his armor. (EXCUSE TO ADD DRAMATISM TO THE SCENE)
Is there something wrong with that?
5) When Al transmutes his brother, there are 4
transmutation circles that never
appeared before that have nothing to do with the ones of
the Philosopher’s Stone
nor the human transmutation circles. (NONSENSED STUPID
CREATION)
You might have not known about them but Ed either read about
the circle or created it himself, or saw it in the gate.
6) Riza reappears without her handcuffs. How did she get to
take them off?
(CHORRADA XD)
Riza could have had them get the cuffs off.
7) Minute 06:18. The transmutation circle
but it lucks of two lines inside the rhombus in the middle
of it (it should be a
triangle). Why is it still working? (MISTAKE)
Because all Mustang needs the circle is make an explosion and
the symbols that are missing might allow Mustang to control the explosions
power, range.
8) Minute 09:26: The transmutation circle in
complete than before. It lucks of the triangle of the
middle of the rhomb and it
doesn’t even have neither the flame on top of it nor the
salamander at the
bottom. (MISTAKE)
Blood could have been rubbed off or was erased due to the previous
explosion.
You are not shown a very detailed version of this, and it
could have been smudge.
9) When Al tries to transmute his brother, the
transmutation’s power reaches
Envy. Shouldn’t Envy be transmuted into a human instead of
being sent to the
door? And if the homunculus don’t have a soul, why is he
there? Since when is a
psique physical? (NONSENSE)
Al goes to the door, to retrieve Ed from the door. Envy was also sent to the door, but envy
wasn’t the stone and could only go through the door.
10) When Al says his brother isn’t dead, he says “his body
must still be inside of the
door too”. According to this, and to Al, who is the prove
that it happens this
way, when someone dies he automatically is sent into the
door. Then why is Ed
in front of the door while he disappears instead of being
inside of it? Al also goes
into it while the transmutation is completed. (MISTAKE)
Because Al resurrected Ed so Ed should appear outside of the
gate.
12) Why is Envy powerful enough to destroy all those
thingies from inside the door
we don’t ever get to know what they are by only
transforming into another shape?
Why does he transform himself into Ed? Why does he
transform himself into himself
after that? And most important of all: Why the hell does he
transform into a huge
green dragon, that it’s suspiciously very similar to the
one from Dragon Ball?
(NONSENSE + A BARE EXCUSE TO ADD SOME “COOL” EFFECT ONTO
THE END + BONES’ SUPER-REALISM (a living huge green dragon
on our
because of that. These are the proofs: 1.- Episode 2: Lust
is in front of Cornelo while
he is having a nightmare where we are shown the ouroboros
tattoo on the ground,
and suddenly, it takes shape and transforms into the
serpent it is. Red and blue, a lot
slimer than what Envy transforms into.
2.- Envy doesn’t have a snake tongue.
3.- It has horns on his head and some weird things that
snakes don’t have as well as some thingies going through
all his back untill the tail.
4.- The end of his tail is not a slim end but a “fish-like”
kind
of shape.
5.- I saw a merchandising today (08/14/05) where he was a
red dragon, with even wings:
Image:
http://www.animaxis.com/images/products/135093_6.jpg
Others could destroy the “children” inside the gate buy why
bother? Transforms into Ed to say I’m coming for you Hohenheim of Light. And for the dragon part, the Ouroboros is
EITHER a serpent or a dragon, if you read alchemy books you would know that.
12) What kind of Philosopher’s Stone is Al that he needs to
use himself all, as human
soul + mind and as Philosopher’s Stone, in order to make a
well done human
transmutation while his brother is able to do it by just
giving himself in exchange?
(NONSENSE + FAVOURITISM TOWARDS ED)
Al IS the P.S. in order to bring Ed back he needs to use the
P.S. and HE IS the P.S.
13) Why does Ed use a part of the transmutation circle for
the Philosopher’s Stone
Scar had on his arm to do a human transmutation? NOTE: Even
if Al was the
Philospher’s Stone he is not longer that, and Ed is not
trying to create the P.S
but trying to bring Al back, with his entire body.
(MISTAKE)
More than one use for a
14) Ed’s the one that makes the transmutation in order to
make Al come back, giving
himself as sacrifice (since there’s no equivalent
exchange). Then why is Al the
one that has to give his memories as equivalent exchange?
Hohenheim says “You
two traveled . You met many people. You saw many things.
You suffered, you
worked hard. All what you experienced... was your
equivalent exchange” à
Isn’t Al the only one that loses his memories? Since when
does need the
transmuted thing/human have to give anything in exchange
for being
transmuted? It’s understandable that Al had the appearance
of the child he was
when they transmuted their mother since it was kept inside
of the door, where
the body it’s not supposed to age, but what about that
sacrifice he had to give?
(MISTAKE + CONTRADICTION)
Al didn’t give his memories as equivalent exchange.
15) Where are kept all Al’s memories? NOTE: In the manga
they explain that Al’s
body must be somewhere, and he has his soul still linked to
it, and so his
memories can be kept there. But in the anime? (ADAPTATION)
Inside Al thas where, Al’s Soul.
16) Why didn’t Ed, instead of fighting to go to
back to his world? (NONSENSE + RESORT THAT ADDS DRAMA AND
AN
OPEN ENDING)
Ed wants to save Al, Envy wants to kill Hohenheim.
17) Why does Wrath need automail??? Isn’t he a homunculus?
Where’s his
regeneration power as we see that he finally regenerated
his left half burnt at the
end? à NOTE: He should be
able to create an arm and a leg for himself.
Wrath lost his limbs in the door.
18) When Ed wakes up in
new complete body, which he gave in exchange after he
started the transmutation
of Al, his body should have been separated from his soul
and mind inside the
door (as exchange). Even if we ignore this fact, and
imagine that it doesn’t
happen that way and he keeps himself all together, lets
imagine that he, for some
reason, while trying to go to
understandable that he appeared without the arm and the
leg, but how did he get
the automail arm and leg, and connect them to his body? Did
even Al give it in
exchange for Ed’s transmutation? (so was it inside the door
in the first place so
Ed could take it when he gave himself as sacrifice?). But
most important of all,
since Ed’s arm’s automail got broken in episode 47 and he
managed to somehow
transmute some kind of hand... if we look carefully the
hand is not the same as
the one Winry makes him: 1.- Ed’s transmutation has his
fingers all in one piece
while Winry’s have all their articulations.
2.-Ed’s transmutation doesn’t have the big screw and the
two
ones on each side of this that Winry’s has.
So after we realize this... and look at the hand he has

there. Also, when Ed went

conscience, he fought to go back too. And when Ed died, he
kept in front of the

CONCLUSSIONS THAT CAME FROM AFTERTHOUGHTS:
1.- There’s a 7 year gap (posted originally by Uber
Panda):
“The Time line is completely out of wack, or at least its
theres a gap between years. Lets
See:
1510: The First Philosopher's Stone is created....this
serves no relevence right now.
The continental year is 1910, February: At this point Ed
and Al are 11 and 10 years old, and
the series begins.
In the first episode, that is four years later: 1914. Now
the series ends at 1921. What happen
to those missing seven years?!?! “The Phantom Thief” and the episodes after that are directly
after episode 1.
OK then, the +7 years to 1910 would make 1917 and then
another 4 would make 1921, but
then Ed and Al yould be 21 and 20! too confusing
The movie would take place in 1923, this also serves no
relevence for now. But sorry for
once i couldn't answer a question and that just brought up
more! Any thoughts?
How can the movie take place in two years after the series
ended (1916), and then the series
ends in 1921! Unless the last part of episode 51 happens 5
years after the movie, which
would mean that Ed and Al would never meet each other
again!”
2.- All
the homunculus are from near Amestris:
Isn’t it too much of a coincidence, that there’s been just
7 human transmutation attempts in
all the world (since they are named as the 7 sins, meaning
there are no more), and that all of
them were done near Amestris? This way Dante was able to
find them rather easily. Alchemy may not exist anywhere else, people could just be
unaware of it.
3.- They didn’t explain who were all the homunculus:
We were shown where did Lust, Envy, Wrath and Sloth come
from. Strangely enough, all of
them had a dramatic role in the anime and a direct relation
with the main characters. But
they didn’t bothered neither even hintting where did
Gluttony, Pride (who is the only one
that can age by himself) and Greed come from. They only
said who created them (aside from Gluttony), not who they were nor why where
they following Dante. Explaining ALL the Homunculi would have been pointless since
the others had more important parts.
Personal opinion: I think that since Pride is they only
homunculus, that without having any human part in his body, is able to age, at
least, they should have explain it a little bit more or told as something more
besides that he’s married, has a son and is the Fuhrer. Also, Gluttony is the
least deepened in personality of the group, maybe because he has a
superdeformed shape they couldn’t give an answer to if they
tried to show who his original was.
About Envy, I must say that he transformed into some dragon
that suspiciously was very
similar to the one from Dragon Ball. Perhaps, if you
reuinite all the 7 sins and put them
together, you invoke Shenry (Shenron + Envy) and can open
the door! XDDDDDDDD Just
Joking XD.
4.- Their best resort were the secondary characters:
When they needed the plot to keep going, they kept turning
to secondary characters as:
Roze (she gives birth to the child Dante needs to open the
door + adds romance), Russel and
Fletcher (they give information about the red water and
tell Ed where the homunculus’ lair
is), Lyla (they use her as the new container for Dante)...
Personal opinion: By doing this, they saved in animation,
plot deepening, they tied loose
ends rather easily without big explanations, and rushed the
ending. That also explains how
much of a deep character can they make by seeing just how
many “unanswered questions”
are around the character they most deepness gave: Wrath. I
think that the other characters
were totally unneeded. The fact that they appeared in some
part of the story, doesn’t mean
they have to appear at the end and have a big role on the
series. The fact that they have a big
story or personality developement behind their back only
proves the deepness and well done
the characters were created (Yay for Arakawa!!XD)
5.- Plot changing after the anime separated from the manga
and a feeling of rushing appears:
After episode 28, the anime starts adopting another kind of
feeling. The all powerfull door is
never really explaint, since they don’t explain what are
the creatures inside of it. Also, they
substract importance to it by making Dante be able to not
only invoke it but control it too,
as well as what it’s inside. The story centers in the
distruction of the homunculus and the
creation of the Philosopher’s Stone, as well as Dante,
being her the most powerfull of all the
series, instead of making Ed and Al restore their bodies,
as it started. They added this at the
end, and as a result they were separated one from each
other.
Also, more drama, that personally I think it wasn’t needed,
was added to the story. In fact,
the drama was added by homunculus and bad guys, making them
feel as good people (apart
from Dante), instead of keeping adding it like in the first
half: with secondary characters
that have some story on their back, and that make us really
be into it (Nina, Elysia,...).
Also, they started adding too much information per episode,
rushing the storyline and
confusing people, as well as making them leave a big
“unanswered questions” behind it. This
way, the feeling of it is like they tried to end something
that needed its time to be developed.
NOTE: After reading the manga, oneself can realize how they
tried to end something that
was just the beginning. Personal Opinion: May be because
they didn’t want it to be too long
and the poeple got tired of it? Who knows. I don’t think
they did all this “none-explanation”
and “unanswered questions” to keep the public thinking
since when they wanted to explain
anything, they were sure they made it clear. (For example:
“The homunculus are born, no
created” à even
if they say right after that that they are created)
CONCLUSION:
(PERSONAL OPINION ABOUT THE ANIME ITSELF)
In conclusion, what's for me this anime?: I think that
after it separated from the manga, it
became a poor written script, with some good ideas that
could have been better developed.
They tried to add too much drama without considering some
important facts and made it
seem rushed because of that and the continuous trying to
surprise us (as well as trying to
explain us all) in just 25 episodes, making it look as if
they took it out under their sleeve in
one moment as they were making the animation.
Also, after reading the manga, it gives me the feeling that
they tried to end something that
was just the beginning, and that they couldn't make a
really deep plot in this other half,
forgetting the storyline and the “feeling” of the first
half, leaving a lot of loose ends and
unanswered questions , and having the need to put secondary
characters instead of original
ones with their own story (For example: Russel and Fletcher
(who appeared suddenly at the
end, clear excuse to lead Ed to the homunculus lair saving
animation, time, plot etc)).
My personal opinion is that they could have made a stop of
a year in the series, and then
continue with the anime with the manga as support. Or at
least consult Arakawa more often,
although I have an official omake where she said "You
are the ones releasing this, not me".
So this is why I said, say and will say unless someone can
give a real-reasoned-answer to all
the unanswered questions from above (or at least to the 80%
of them) that what BONES did
to FMA was crappy, pitiful and shameful, and there’s no way
that it can be a praise to the
manga.
It’s ok if they want to change some things, after all, it
would be like having more FMA for
us. But at least, they should do it right.
Some of you will be wondering “If you think this is sooo
crappy and it’s obvious you didn’t
like it, why did you see the anime?”. It’s simple, because
the anime was the first thing I saw,
and the story itself and the characters are great (Thanks
Arakawa!!!).
It might be surprising for some of you, but I’m not a manga
freak, I’m more an anime freak,
I like better the anime than the manga since it has
animation, voices, OST, color… all what I
love. But when I saw this anime, (of course, the first time
I didn’t realize half of it, but I was
very confused about the ending) my friend here Dai told me
“read the manga”. At first I was
somewhat in denial, since I don’t really find anything much
exciting on them, but finally I
started reading it and became addicted. It had the same
structure the first half of the anime,
more humour, more romance, the plot is deeper, and it’s
longer. After that I saw the
episodes again, and I became aware of all what they did
(not ALL, of course XDD).
(THANK YOU DAI FOR MAKING ME READ THE MANGA!!!!!! :HUGS
YOU: LOVE
YOUUUUUU~). This is the first anime I’ve only seen 2 times
(now going for the 3th since
some friend started watching it) –besides some specific
episodes- and read the manga 5
times.
So if you haven’t read the manga, my advise would be: First
see the anime, so you can at
least enjoy it. Then read the manga and don’t pay too much
attention to the second half of
the anime.
Reika.
