So basically what they dragged out of the "truth" with their Human Transmutation was the body of someone else? Most likely someone who attempted to do the same.

Hmm, I didn't think of it like that, but it's interesting that you mention it. Ed was saying how confident he was that he can get Al's body back after that episode, but I didn't really see how, besides showing that it existed.

I also noticed that the Truth in Ed's vision had a solid right arm and partially solid left leg, so that should mean it's possible to get those back too.

As for dragging someone else's body back the first time... it's a possibility, but other than acknowledging it's a possibility, I don't know what to think of it.

The whole "equivalent exchange" thing will have to be factored in too. We've been told that Ed and Al's bodies have been exchanged for knowledge, or truth. That leaves all the chemicals they used in the beginning. Conventional thoughts are that Ed and Al transmutated the body with those materials, so the above idea would suggest that it was instead exchanged for someone else's body. (subtle, bud distinct difference).

If that was the case though, then

Al's body = knowledge ( "=" meaning equivalent and exchangable)
Black body = raw materials

If each "body" is equivalent, then that means the truth Ed and Al learnt would have been obtainable with raw materials somehow. Because that seems unlikely, I'm not so confident with that line of thought. It's still interesting though.

I notice Hoenheim in this series gives off a kind of Gendo Ikari vibe.


This episode was an interesting twist for me as a watcher of the previous series.

Well I think of it like this. For human transmutation it would require the raw materials to create the body and the "data" of the person you are creating.. So the materials and the "data" of that person are 2 separate things. So they can't complete it without the data of that person. Only by opening the "truth" can that data of a person go through. But by opening the "truth", it automatically engages another trade.

So the "truth" trades it's knowledge of itself for part of the person who opens it. If they want to or not. So it's like a forced trade. ( I say trade because it's shorter then Equivalent Exchange )

Yeah that's the best I can explain it for now =\

Granny says that Hohemheim is a good person. hmm I donnu, as far as his ability to take care of his children... I rate him at fail.

Is there no episode 21 this week? Looked on tokyotosho and there appears to be no raw so thats what i'm assuming.

[Marik]

Indeed, it didn't air this week due to the 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics.

How does one thing relate to the other? You mean the championship took its slot in the programming?

Below: They couldn't think of anything else to take out the air? >_>

Edit to even more below: /facepalm

Yeah, that would make sense...

[Carnage]

Yes that is obviously what he meant.

Live broadcast perhaps?

The ending was certainly intense. Can't wait for next week!

I'm betting Havok won't be useless for long.

[NeoCybercoin]

I would like to know more about the fact that Xing and the other's can "sense" homunculus.

[Marik]

Damn, it ended just when it was getting good. Hopefully Lan Fan isn't too messed up.

[Kraco]

Havok will be healed by the little alchemist who already healed Scar earlier?

[Marik]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, the kid with the panda cub. Scar is there, so she should be as well.

I would like to know more about the fact that Xing and the other's can "sense" homunculus.

It seemed like Ran Fan and whatshisface could tell that Gluttony had many "lives" within him. Perhaps they are sensing something like ki?

If so, they could tell that Gluttony had consumed a number of people, and thus know by that sensation that he or someone like him is nearby.

aaaahhh the Führer President is so god damn cool.

This show really is ridiculously awesome, not to mention hilarious!

[Marik]

aaaahhh the Führer President is so god damn cool.

I hope Ed, Al, Roy & the others, find out that he's Wrath soon and get revenge for Hughes.

Any one happen to know a good site that'll stream this in rather good quality? Torrents, and DDL for video doesn't work on my PS3.
