Wow, so Scar's brother was a motherfucking genius. He had a HUGE impact on the counterattack.

And I'm surprised Kimblee did that final move of his. He's gonna die too if Selim loses his homunculi powers.

Well technically he's already dead, since his body and all was consumed. His soul's all that's left of him you know~

He did die, because Pride did lose his homunculus powers. All that's left is the original Selim's soul, which Pride had been using as a physical container.

Great episode, but the voice of young father doesn´t feel right at all. Also, people getting their life force, that whole scene felt cheesy to me. That aside, the continuation fight between Scar and Bradley... Amazing!

well all is ok but I dont understand one thiing..
what did these souls from the Philosopher's Stone? why they were all restored to life?
I saw only one big tornado and I thought only "WTF what's going on :O"


Hohenheim's nation-wide transmutation circle activated by the solar eclipse, duh.


sounds a bit strange...


Its explained better in the manga. Basically a soul and its body are naturally attracted to each other, like how Barry's mindless body wondered back to his soul, and it takes a tremondous force to seperate the two. Even once there seperated it takes nearly as much effort to keep them seperate, which is why Al kept being drawn back to his body. Since the souls in Father were struggling to free themselves, all Hohenheim had to do was use one giant transmutation to free the souls, and becuase of instinct they automatically traveled back to their bodies.


This is one explanation that is sorely lacking in the anime. It can bepretty confusing since Hoenheim didn't explain anything about his reverse-circle. Other than it's a large circle that uses a really big shadow, and is supposed to counter Father's. How does one expect a anime watcher to understand?!

I'm a bit disappointed by this episode, like others have said most things weren't explained as well as in the manga. It's not surprising really, since that has been the case through most of this adaption.

Can someone explain to me what is going on? I am getting very confused about this reverse circle. What exactly is that? And, what were they talking about the earths crust blocking energy? Did Father dumb down alchemy in Artemis? Ugh this really wasnt explained well, or bad translation I dont know.. :(

Oh wow. If God Homunculus can create suns in his palm, then maybe the Sun was created by another God. Also, that'll nicely explain how alchemy truly works, and all the concepts of the world where Al's body resides at. This world of theirs, Earth (not sure if that's what's called in canon), could be one in many that have existed. Multiple ends & rebirths, all caused by many iterations of Ultimate Beings, like God.

Whoo amazing episode. Although im really confused..Its kinda random. Hohenheims friends come (Which is shown in like half an episode before) fma actually doesn't do a lot, it feels random tbh his friends suddenly stopping him even though they might have explained it a little, or I just havn't payed attention.

I loved the kimblee scene. Man when he took of his hat at the end and walked away, thats priceless lol. I love scenes like that. <:

Just watched the Scar/Bradley fight scene again.

Man, this really puts into perspective how far superior a fighter Bradley is to everyone else in the series.

Remember, Scar is easily one of the 2 or 3 best fighters in the series, and by a good margin. For instance, look at episode 5 where it took an exceptional combat alchemist like Armstrong everything he had to not get -killed- by Scar.

Now you have Scar at full health, with a literal ace up his sleeve in the reconstruction tattoo, up against a half dead Bradley without his Ultimate Eye, and it still took everything he had PLUS a major stroke of luck (Bradley getting blinded from the light from the sun) for Scar to BARELY escape with his life and win.

Indeed. Bradley was hands down my favorite character in this series. I was sad to see him go, but it was inevitable. The plot dictates that the villains must die. At least he went out like a champ.

Why is it that the two homonculi that talked all this shit and were so bad ass turned out to have true forms that were just a piece of shit? Envy was an ugly pint-sized lizard and Pride was a thumb-sized infant!! WTH???
Kimblee, your final scene was pimptastic!!

King Bradley , thank you , sir ! That's how you do a villain's death ! King Bradley made the show ! Great character..

Kimblee's appereance was just random and made no sense for me. They should have destroyed Pride in some other way.

About Father.. i really don't care what happens anymore. If he kills somebody important and Mustang remains blind , then i'll be happy.

I agree, Bradley's death was amazing. One of the best ways i've ever seen a villain go.

However, I disagree with your thoughts on Kimblee's appearance. They made a semi-big deal of Pride consuming Kimblee. Kimblee seemed like such a major character, there's no way he'd just go like that. The bitterness in the tempest of souls are like a melody to him, it was well done.

Great episode.

...what the fuck is this faggotry???


So I'm not the only one who thought this is going in EVA style. Well, not what I expected... OK, I really expected for the people to get revived, after all Brotherhood is much softened version of FMA so there is no much drama in there. Once again, Kimbley shows up as more antihero than just villain. His appearance was just in time and it was badass.

I'm glad they had one of the most memorable characters, Bradley, go down like a champ. I've never been a fan of how Pride went down, though and that didn't change here. It felt awkward.

Damn so much epicness! I almost cried from happiness when all the souls returned to their body and than the baby started to cry! We now know what Hohenheim was doing crossing all those distances was quite epic that transmutation circle! And just the battle afterwards with him was just to epic, than with bradley his finally death sadly Lan Fan didn't got her revenge but at least he's death! The battle between Ed and Pride was also quite something was interesting that Kimblee interfered in everything and eventually ed won, pride's original shape was quite funny... Let's see what these last 3 episodes will give us!

yes all of the souls went back :D

Homunculus won't be able to control "God" himself :P

nice one Hohenheim!!!

Winry and others are bacl!!!!!

May Chang sure knows alot a trick or two ^^

man Scar vs King Bradley was one of the most epic battles ever!!!!

though King Bradley was basically handicap all throughout.

he's freaking strong for sure.

Scar get's stab :O

man King Bradley jst won't give up.

Lan Fan!!

guess she wasn't able to avenge her grandfather's death,

King Bradley didn't even say anything about his wife or Selim :\

a nullifying transmutation circle!!!!

guess Scar's brother knew everything right from the beginning

wow Homunculus just devouring everyone just like that.

Izumi and Sig!!!!

Riza must be sad now that she knows Roy is blind :\

but i have to wonder how will Riza and Roy cooperate :)

guess Greed wanted to kill King Bradley himself huh?

and wow Kimblee is still alive!!!!

i was actually hoping to see Kimblee vs Scar just like the first season!!!!

man i thought Ed really killed Selim!!

Selim really wanted someone to be loved just like Envy huh??

wahh Selim turned into a fetus ;)

only 3 episodes left.

let's see how this ending compares to the first season!!!

I love how they brought Kimblee back here, it was brilliant. Absolutely amazing since he is such a well designed and well portrayed character.
Haha, not to mention how awesome he is saying that 'the tempest of souls was like a lullaby'. It was just perfectly done. I was seriously smiling all the way though saying 'Omg Kimblee, you're so freaking awesome!'.
Definitely one of my favourite scenes! (:

Terrible end for Wrath, way to ruin a character. (seriously what asspull weakened them?)

I thought that generic black thing was a terrible villain, and I still do, but at least he paved the way for an interesting one (god mode father)- still not an excuse to have something this bad.



Aaaaaaaaaaand it's gone, a sudden asspull followed by ANOTHER fucking one ruins everything in just 1 minute... what the hell is this.


Wow, great ending with Kimblee and Pride, well done. Not really a fan of how Ed just made himself a stone and crap though.

Don't forget that Greed is still with us, although he seems to be working out an arrangement with his host and he was always the most sympathetic towards humans.

Gotta say this, as a pure fighter King Bradley had no peer. He was one scary, effective, yet extremely consistent villain.

Scar and the Ishvallans do their bit together with Hohenheim ans save Amestris, but beating Father still remains.

And the surprise moment of the episode was Kimbley making a last appearance to thwart Pride. That was unexpected.
