[Premium Access] Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Episode 61 He Who Would Swallow God - Group Reaction

To be fair, it's a gray area worth discussing. It's very fun to discuss without any moral judgments.

Rue Surnameunimportant

The baby pride thing definitely presents a really interesting philosophical argument, and it was really neat seeing you guys debate this

Zane

I have daddy issues of my own lol so it took me a minute to come around on him. In the end I think he was very honroable. - Chris

The Normies

lol. never thought about it like that.

River

I think the Selim fetus is not like Envy. That selim is actually a human child (shell) that was occupied as Pride.

Prodigal Sun

Millions of people just died and came back. I'm pretty sure they could do it. I would.

micheal king

How wonderfully poetic that Wrath be defeated by Scar, the angriest motherfucker alive

Aarush Azizi

R.I.P Ed Blaylock he passed a few years ago. Voice actor for Wrath.

Antiquity

Hohenheims plan gives me chills every fucking time. It always looks like the father and homunculus are 5 steps ahead when in reality they were two steps behind! I love it so much, he accepted the souls within him and worked together with them to stop fathers evil plan!

Liam D

I loved kimblee's exit from the series. So badass.

Jackie Green

You're saying that he's going to grow up and be shitty just the same this time? Even though in this go around he won't be growing up with that "tempest of souls" he mentioned and Father's pride? That's... a pretty huge assumption. Maybe because you're underestimating what effect that had idk, but to choose to kill him as a baby because you're choosing to make that assumption is interesting to say the least.

DougRaw

You know, for a homonculus that only had one life and no regen, it feels like it was way harder to put Wrath down

Alex

Hohenheim's counter circle kicked all kinds of ass.

Alex

the ending of 63... :)

Except Salim (a.k.a. Pride) wasn't birthed from Ms. Bradley. He was revealed to be adopted from Bradley's "side" of the family.

Evan Rhys Westerfield-Andrews

I always saw it as Ed freeing Salim from pride. Salim is the baby Wrath and Ms. Bradley had, while Pride is the sin that Father removed from himself and put into a philosopher stone. For whatever reason, Father and the homunculi decided to put Pride into Salim, like Greed was put into Ling.

RIP Ed Blaylock, Fuhrer Bradley's dub actor passed in 2017, I loved his work as Bradley, his voice was perfect for the role in my opinion, such an amazing character, and the voice acting in these last few episodes were phenomenal. His voice has always been so unique and recognizable to me.

Ohrick

I like how Chris who had the worst opinion of Mr. Ho for leaving his family seemed won over or at least more accepting of his reasons for being gone now that he knows it was for a plan to counter Father’s. At least his opinion have gone from scumbag to alright.

Jjop017

It's funny how Pride's defeat was literally "Pride goeth before the fall." Also, anyone else mention how the Homunculi all died in a way related to their sins?

AJ Evers

Hohenheim was already a few steps ahead of Father all this time!! Now we know why he was gone from home all those years. Wrath died at peace with a smile on his face. Pride faced his downfall when attempting to give up his pride to escape into a lower lifeform. Good ole Kimblee!

Lalisa Truong

It's my birthday. You should post the rest of the episodes today.

Antarius Holley

And so, Wrath dies a peaceful death

Brian Poston

Your basically asking if you would kill baby hitler I love that conversation

Luis Benavides

I wish the meme where you push the blue button was relevant again so I could put "double drop"

Senbu Johns

I actually have that FMA necklace, picket watch and philosopher's stone ring

The 4 koma is a must-watch. And next week...both 62 and 63 are amazing, but 62 probable wins. "That" scene...

olof

Ed basically reduced Selim to the little boy who actually had feelings for his mother everything else he destroyed also I love how absolutely no one ever questions Bradley being able to stab Scar with a blade in his teeth that's just how badass he is that everyone is like yup checks out he would be able to do that

Daniel Gonzalez

Next episode hypest. You what scene I’m talkin’ about.

Wait, there are bloopers? I must watch.

y'all should watch the bloopers when y'all are done

Cameron

Except many serial killers have show the same issues in their brain even at a young age. I feel like sometimes mental issues negate the nature vs nurture their have been killers with perfectly normal lives. But their have also been stories of people getting out of bad situations to become ceos ect

PKKite

LOL the theme of the Elric Brothers: We value all life: human, animal, homunculi. Chris and Marketa: Kill it! Kill it now! C’mon Kill it!!!

Philip Kay

Hypest episode of the show!

Doofus

The best way to watch this kind of anime is with real world morality and empathy, so no I don't believe any of you could kill a baby at the spot, even if said baby had 50/50 chance of being evil, you'll never know. If so... I'm kinda worry.

I'm with Navi on this completely. At best, I would give nature 5% of the equation. Nurture is anywhere from 95% to 99% of what makes a person.

GoldArthur

Wait, did they say they were doing a triple drop? I cannot find them saying that anywhere.

King Dee

So it took a train explosion, the Briggs army, a TANK, Captain Buccaneer, old man Fu, Greedling, Mustang, Scar, and in a way God to defeat Bradley. If that doesn’t sum up how amazing Bradley is then I don’t know what will.

Gabtab0000

When FMAB begets a Nature v Nurture debate. lol

Lavota Carter

I would assume you all have already finished the show, but anyway, Homunculi are made up of multiple souls, with the dominate soul being the most Prideful, Gluttonous, Greedy, etc. With Pride, I believe Ed destroyed all of the souls, including the most Prideful (the shadow creature), and left 1 soul remaining.

Alex Johnson

After last episode please watch dub bloopers, it is so good :)

Can Arabacıoğlu

Y’all planning to do the bloopers and 4koma?

Toua77

yeah that was dope, "you began to believe there was no God in this world at all!" ☀ got heeeeeeeeem

Man if Bradley was in his prime no one would be able to stop him, even Scar needed divine intervention.

Jose

FIRST!!! YESSSSSSS!! BRING ON TRIPLE FINALE DROP!! yeah Bradley was so bad ass its crazy. Scar & Mr Ho are tied for my faves. and RIP Smooth Criminal Kimblee 😎. also, shouts to Navi for noticing the Riza being Mustangs eyes 👏, hahaha and for Marketa "Man's gotta have a code"
