Does anyone know why Envy is Hohenheim's sin for human transmutation? I've had a couple ideas, but they don't quite work.

Wait, wasn't Envy Hohenheim's son with Dante, or am I mistaken?

I wasn't asking about Envy's origin, but more why the sin of Envy is specific to Hohenheim.

Like how the other homunculi represent the sin of the alchemist who made them.

Well, he does envy them, doesn't he? He envies Hohenheim for being more powerful than him, having more knowledge. He envies Edward for being the "loved" child. I would say he's envious of the entire Elric family. He wants what they have, or wanted atleast, when he was alive.

That's for Envy tho, not Hohenheim, why would Hohenheim be envious?

Hohenheim's sin isn't envy though. Envy himself personifies the sin. It's the same for other sins. Wrath isn't the sin of Izumi. Wrath personifies the wrath himself; he's vengeful. King Bradley personifies pride and is such so in the form of an homunculus. It's the transmuted human themself who are the personification of the deadly sins. It does have correlation with the perpetrator too, but not for all of them.

The themes in this were nicely crafted. Shame 03 got buried by the remake.

Yep. Agreed. Glad to see someone else who shares the same sentiment.
