Really looking forward to hearing your discussion on this one. IDK if you'll remember or not, but if you watch the first OP again, the first ten or fifteen seconds actually show young Hohenheim in his Xerxes clothes, with the big transmutation circle behind him. EDIT: Haha, wow you do remember! Impressive.

My fav trope, the episode where we find the fathers backstory this and “this day” are peak

Unholy

Just clocked out of work, such timing <3

Fun Fact: Hohenheim was named after the alchemist Paracelsus (civil name: Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim).

I've been waiting for this episode since the day you started trash talking Hohenheim, lol. The discussion for this episode is gonna be great without a doubt. Can't wait.

sand_fl

yeah, still one of my favourite episodes of the show and probably In my top 20 from episodes of all time. i really love hohenheim and i feel awful for him, like... imagine so glad you ended up skipping the ova also, i knew from the start that you would end up feeling guilty about what you called him in the beginning 😂😂 don't get me wrong, still not ideal that the boys ended up growing up without a father, but at least he has a good excuse also, i just realised the voices from the fullmetal alchemist cards in the middle change in the dub (even though they're both in english) because in the sub version the voice in the slave 23 cards is werid as hell

Winston Chau

Finally we got this episode reaction🥰🥰

sand_fl

lol, same, i'm sad because i have to go to bed if i don't want to fuck up my sleeping schedule, i stayed a bit later than usual because i knew they were posting this. i guess i'll watch the discussion tomorrow morning while having breakfast

There’s also an extremely neat detail that you can appreciate after this episode : most amestrians have blue eyes like it was showed during scar flashback however Hohenheim, Edward and Alphonse all have blond hair and golden colored eyed, wich are the most recognizable physical traits among the inhabitants of Xerxes (since the three of them are the last direct descendants of this population)

Guillaume

I’ve been so much waiting for you to reach this episode and have a glimpse of the Hohenheim’s true nature !!

Winston Chau

The true protagonist in Fullmetal Alchemist Botherhool is Hohenheim!🤣🤣🤣

Nikodem

Most Amestrians have dark eyes. Check if you don't believe me. The blue eyes in Scar's flashback were just a depiction, probably made to contrast with red eyes of Ishvalans.

Camzeee

Did you guys skip the post credits scene? Waited all the way through and then the reaction cut lol

Friend

i only recently found out that amestris comes from the name of the queen of persia, and xerxes from the name of her husband, who was the king, not for nothing xerxes the nation shown in this episode represents persia, which is precisely where alchemy was born

Pkiu

Oh I believe you I didn’t took the time to double check and just took the anime adaptation of the war at face value lol, anyway that doesn’t change the neat details about the eyes of Hohenheim, Ed and Al !

Nikodem

Yeah, their eyes and hair combination is really unique, I never noticed that! I wonder how similar to Hohenheim would older Ed be, seeing how the younger version of his dad looked so much like him.

Ten

I gotta sleep but looking forward to watching the reaction later :D

Sosa

Imma wait for the edited before I sleep😭

Norrin Radd

The true MVP of this series is actually Trisha Elric. That’s emphasized in episode 27. She is the guiding force behind her entire family’s actions.

Norrin Radd

I prayed to god that he prove to me that angels are real, and then you guys posted a video. 🙏

You see in this episode that when Pride said he was the first homunculus, he meant the first of the seven. The father of the sins is the original homunculus, created by an alchemist using Hohenheim's blood.

Agnieszka Majczak

Luckily, I went to sleep yesterday, instead of waiting for edited one 💁🏻‍♀️

Orr Malus

I always thought that The Dwarf in the Flask was a metaphor for the Serpent in the garden of Eden. Hohenheim's Master caught something in a jar which possessed great knowledge that the Ishvalens (religious fanatics) saw as forbidden. It tempted the Xerxians with this knowledge in order to trick them. The Homunculi seem to be only standard superpowered villains as they serve no real purpose to the overall plot that a regular human couldn't fill. The first FMA series had a much better explanation for what the Homunculi are but dropped the ball character-wise.

Link

Also, another thing the show expects you to understand by now is that the sins are created with philospher stones extracted from the Father. In other words, the Father purged himself from his seven sins/desires and turn them into individual homunculi. Recall that when he killed the first Greed he drank Greed's stone after burning him alive, and then to create the second Greed he took a stone out of his forehead. When he created Wrath, he asked Bradley "are you ready to become my Wrath?" Now with this episode you saw he can do those things becaus he has a huge philosopher stone inside him.

MaxVSTheGames

Yeah, I really really liked the explanation for Homonculi in the original anime. Too bad most of it is really sub-par compared to Brotherhood.

Robert H.

With "ill post it when it's done" I already thought to myself: Okay, see you in 24 hours. 😂 But their posted schedule was also very tight.

Nikodem

Yeah, you get used to it after a while haha. I understand them though, editing can get really annoying and they do everything on their own. My only issue is that I really wish they would give us more updates.

Raziel_BBT

when they say a few minutes, I already imagine Frieza's 5 minutes to destroy the world

Eren Yeager

So we are getting fmab x2, the expanse, mob 100 and bcs today oh yeah ! I think I have higher chance to find the one piece

Malik

im itching

Robert H.

Quick off-topic question, since I had stopped watching One Piece at some point: My theory at the time was that the One Piece is on the backside of Reverse Mountain. Is there any confirmation on that now? Or are they still randomly searching the Grand Line after 1000 episodes? :D

LelouchFam

you couldn't be more wrong, FMABs homonculi are amazing, they make up for the homunculi that fma didnt focus much on. Like lust is amazing and has tons of focus in fma but has none in fmab... While greed is subpar in fma but one of the best characters in the show in fmab. Pride, envy and wrath are all much better written in fmab then they are in fma as well. Fmas homunculi shine in the places fmab didnt make an effort to develop like Lusty. to say the homunculi in fmab are standard super powered villains is absolutely brain dead, when you have characters like greed, wrath, pride, and envy lol. Unless your someone who doesn't really delve into character writing, i don't get your take lol. Dante is definitely better than father tho, but she isnt a homunculi lol.

Orr Malus

Completely missed my point. I wasn't talking about characterization at all. The fact that they're "homunculi" is a non-integral part of the story because you can have the exact same plot and characters while writing them as human. The writers of FMA made the existence of the homunculi as the plot itself not knowing about the existence of The Dwarf in the Flask. In Brotherhood they're just standard villains meant to stop/stall the heroes from getting what they want. In FMA they're the consequences of the heroes getting what they want.

Nikodem

Hahaha, well it kind of seems like you should've been searching then.
