So ok, really interesting stuff going on.
Three homunculus left:
1. Pride + Gluttony
2. Wrath
3. Whatever the heck that dude that looks like Ed’s father is.

That homunculus looks suspiciously alike that in the interior of the door…

Why the hell doesn't Greed go full-armor maaaannnn???


Remember what Ed said when Greed was in his ~original~ body? He can't do the armor thing and regenarate at the same time. I think this is the reason.

Quite nice episode just lots and lots of battle's the scene where van holenheim got father's skin of was quite fucked with all the eyes... the end was quite nice with Fu coming to the rescue!

man Hohenheim must have suffered alot by combining thosse emotions of 500K souls throughout his life.

i actually thought Homunculus will die just like that.

but of course there's more to it than that :P



man King Bradley pulling some Matrix style on those kills :P

Buccaneer with a injured eye, and destroyed one of his Masterpiece Northern Automail :(

where the hell is Roy at a time like this??

man even with an old body, King Bradley is still as fast as ever :)

love the fight between Greed and King Bradley.

would love if Greed would inflict some good damage on him :)

and wow King Bradley taking this seriously!!

even using combat knife instead of the sword :P

i don't know who to choose since both of them are badass.

Fu to the rescue!!!

i actually thought he was with Lan Fan.

guess she needed some time off huh??

Fu out for revenge for Lan Fan's arm

let's see if King Bradley finally met his match :P

man im loving this moments!!!!!

Let's start:

+ Badass entrace by King
+ Loved the story of the many souls of Xerxes citizens and Hohenheim

- Extremely predictable and bland transformation into a generic creature by father, this eye thing so so overused it's more annoying than Sharingan, I wish it was as creepy as the original's.

- pathetic development for that grey-haired dude
- trying too hard to make a hero out of Buckaneer
- another completely unnecessary fight (the fight itself is unimpressive and this is the third fight in a conflict that is just NOT working, no impact at all). Not to mention the usual talk-no-jutsu.


2/5 again

Fu vs King might be good

You know, I always wonder just who could be so out of step in their rating of an episode. Now we know.

I hope Buccanneer can survive, if only because he seems like the only possible ship with Olivier and I do like to ship...

Other than that, Greed seems like the homunculus who is closest to a human. He actually does seem to respond positively to humans, particularly when they show bravery and persistence--although he calls it foolishness. And he is upset when his underlings are killed--even to the point of the memories resurfacing restoring his old personality.

Awesome episode, like so many of them...

Bradley is one amazing fighter. It's gonna take a couple of guys to take him out. And Father has become something very similar to Pride. Hohenheim couldn't take him out.

It's weird that we haven't seen the Elric's in such a long time.

Just like that, Bradley has taken back the main gate. What a monster, literally and figuratively.

I kind of wish Hohenheim didn't destroy's Father's shell. Now we have a fugly alien :/

Bradley is probably this series' coolest character. That sequence with him breaking though the Briggs soldiers has got to be one of the best action scenes so far. The animation is always so fluid in his fights; it makes the episode.

It's interesting that Greed/Ling have merged closely enough to interchange voices like that

Hohenheim had a good plan :(

Wrath is probably my fave Homonculus and in my eyes the strongest as well, or at least right behind Pride.

Cause unlike everyone else, he still is partly human and has only ONE life and yet he is a real beast that no one can stop. Every other Homonculus have died hundreds times over before they achieved anything.

Come on Briggs, hold the building!

Greed vs Bradley was good but not great. I'm assuming it's more intense in the next episode now that Fu has joined GreedLing.

Overall a good episode, but not quite as good as the last couple.

The first Homunculus and Hohenheim fight is turning into something else.
Also Wrath is too OP at charging into the whole army all by himself. Of course, he is the Wrath!
Now more people are joining into the fight.
Man..these fights are so awesome.
And I hope this could also help with the fact that I'm in love with her though. :D

old man fu about to try and screw bradley up.
so far there's three homunculus left: pride, wrath, and greed. im assuming greed will live as he's sided with the humans, or he'll leave on his own. how the everlasting hell will they kill pride, if no one can leave a scratch on wrath?

Hehe, Greed/Lin's fight with Wrath was so good and intensive. Full joined it as well, but I'm afraid, judging by watching the preview for episode 57, that those gloomy words can be about him... :(

For someone who's rather cold towards his family, Hohenheim having a personal heart-to-heart talk to every single soul in his body and acknowledging their presence along with the memories of their previous lives was really a cool and high effort thing for him to do. He has the power of hundreds of thousands of people supporting him and that's great.

Wrath's so skilled that the efforts of everyone including Greed and Fu had left no mark on him so far. It'll only get harder from there because he's decided to unless his Homunculeye...

i miss the previous intro they had. this one is too slow for all the intensity and action of the show, and the previous one was much more memorable for me. random thought.

idk if this makes sense, but i like how the actual souls from the philosopher's stones are being featured more and are conscious and active. kimblee mentioned hearing the souls scream a few times, al spoke to the souls before he fought kimblee and pride, there are souls trapped in the humanoids. it makes the concept of the stones a lot more sinister because the souls are aware they are trapped, who they being used by and what for

hate father's new form now, why do they love those huge creepy eyes ew

bradley/wrath is so intimidating and strong it's scary. he literally sliced a missile in half wow. i wish his fight scene with greed was longer (this seems to be a recurring pattern, greed's fight scenes are always so short! #justiceforgreed) but greed and ling must have bonded a lot to be able to switch between each other so easily when they were talking to falman

i wonder how things will be wrapped up, there aren't many episodes left......

It seems that by by talking to the souls that make up his philosopher's stone, Hohenheim has been able to increase the power of it. Each soul is able to act independently, but at the same time operate as the stone would. Watching Father devour his own skin was strange, but at least this means things are getting to the final act.

At the radio station, Breda makes the decision to put the blame on Armstrong. Things can definitely get messy 'cause everyone is going to come together once this is all over.

Anyway, Wrath reminds everyone why he's the King, but also one of the strongest homunculus. Just eradicating the front line of the Briggs forces, including their tank and giving Buccaneer some pretty bad wounds.

But just when things looked hopeless, Greed(ling) makes his entrance! It's amusing how Ling took over when Falman spoke with him. It seems Greed doesn't mind any more when Ling pops up. But he's going to be taking over when it comes to this rematch! He did good, but that ultimate eye isn't just for show!

Fuu shows up to assist Greed(ling). Haha, I liked the English dub dialogue between them.

Greed: "Nice moves, old man. But thanks for the help. You really saved my ass."

Fuu: "I wasn't trying to save your ass. I was saving the body of the young lord."

Greed: "Well, it's the same ass." 😂

Lol, the episode ended without noticing it. So good.

Btw, did they really thought Bradley had died from the explosion? They all had seen any of the homunculus tanking a ridiculous amount of damage
