 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to full metal alchemist brotherhood. My name is Jack the bus you can call me I should know be today. We are starting part four on Netflix again I know you guys said the parts don't really matter But it's it's kind of like a turning point because it's like kind of like the chapters for me at least the dwarf in the Flash so last episode we we ended with all of them being kind of snowed in and them finding out that the four up north is Not safe anymore general Armstrong is gone. She's been relocated Unfortunately, basically my hero of the show might one of my favorite characters very quickly has been kind of torn out from her position I even sure what's happening with her right now because we haven't gotten an update since she was removed They basically sent out alters to kind of warn everybody in the northern that we're going to the northern fortress that it's not Saved there anymore basically like the government like central has made their reach all the way that far now I don't even know if there's anywhere safe So we're gonna hop right into it the only thing we have to worry about is holding down this fort as for the general Well, I'm sure the tigers in central will make sure she's taken care of Nice to see they posted you in central Mustang. No, it's solely based on merit That's rich coming from you. You know how she loves what? Mustang general. I think she'll gain a lot of respect for no one would he's had to put up with for an extended stay I imagine well sometime we should grab some dinner Your treat. I hope you know I could eat you into bankruptcy He's like you're short on both money and nerve, huh? Maybe I could offer some flowers instead only she saw how what he had to put up with their many fine Fluffs here in central may enter. She's such a straightforward person. I love her better not hurt her now then general arm strong We need to talk about general Raven's recent disappearance. Just what have you done? I won't be able to hide Pardon me your Excellency, but I simply don't understand how you can employ someone as careless and incompetent as general Raven Is that the reason you saw fit to dispose of him? Surely you don't need him. It can't be good to have someone so talkative on your senior staff You have me intrigued general. What did Raven say? Immortality your Excellency's identity She's playing into it pretty hard things without any prompting. I mean kind of true actually Yeah, and after learning all of this you still responded to my summons. Yes I assume you'll be needing someone to fill the fool. Let's go, baby. Play into him She kind of has to interesting. I like the way you play very well the eye You have general Raven's seat, but as I expect you'll understand my men will take over Fort Briggs agreed Of course as you wish she had to my soldiers are extremely strong and well trained sir I guarantee they will serve you well your Excellency. I'm sure they will I appreciate the sacrifice They're literally a sacrifice. He will literally murder them all it's necessary But what was it a land of blood that he needs you have to enter her den It seems like the generals landed herself right in the middle of it. Yeah, and now this place is theirs, too Although our leader might be gone. We still stand as well. It's not like they're empty without her with one will. Yeah, they're a very tight-knit group Let's go, baby a monkey list the dwarf in the flask the dwarf in the spot taken no I'm just kind of yummy. I'm gonna be honest See for yourself. I have to work through every meal or I can't keep up sounds like this is gonna be a dull conversation The shadows dude, I hate it Scars up in the north they have to communicate somehow others are up there as well I see just wait a fine line here. Oh my former classmates Lucy and Ian are stationed up there They like to keep me informed aren't the north and east conducting joint exercises this spring. Yes I think you're right happening. I hope major miles and buccaneer. Don't show us up like they have in the past miles Buccaneer, okay. It's a secret code. Ida and sugar. I'll spoke to her to have it Oscar a monculous You mean you need Lucy again. You need once more just telling him who's it's who the first the monculous is. Yeah Suddenly Bradley is a monculous Let's go Hawkeye at a girl Nope not in the central The more and more they do these really wide shots of central it just I feel like it's like supposed to be a reminding factor of what It's made for what it's used for It's all right look over here the father's back story. Yeah Can't you at least bring yourself to act a little surprised or something? Is this the door from the class? I'm number 23 Not your number number to tell me your real name like the slave I don't have one you mean a person without any rights or freedoms someone trafficked and deeded as a possession Deed it. What's that? It's what a piece of property is transferred to another person people in the um the laboratory had numbers Are you hey get out of here? How could I possibly have been born from someone as stupid as you from you are the Blood right it looks kind of like the thing I guess so he said he was going to use it for an experiment in the place Where Ed and Al's bodies are because you gave me your blood number 23 isn't going to cut it I think I'll give you a name of your own give me a name. Who are you? You'll want a noble sounding one right deal. The of rastus bombastus. That's too long best Oh, yeah, you're not that smart. Hey, you are plenty smart. Well, how about fun? Ho and I how does that sound so von ho and I'm huh? So that's not the father. I don't need to read and write to do my work your slave work So ho and I was asleep. Don't you even want freedom? Are you going to live out the rest of your life as a slave in that case? You're no different from me trapped inside this stuffy flat. Let me teach you What do I call you? And why is the father thinking of that like he's he said it showed him sitting there in a cut to this All things are made from one and in the end all things returned to one one is all indeed and all is one as well All is ultimately of the one so if all is not included in the one then all is nothing you have passed You are now an alchemist. Oh, and I'm why does his voice sound familiar? I'm still only fit to be an assistant. My skill is nothing near your master That's definitely Salim I live as well as I do now because of the knowledge you gave me and I've also earned the master's respect I'll even be able to get married and have a family a family Huh? How inconvenient for you humans unless you form communities and breed Don't call it breeding how pathetic they're not it's a concept that you're able to understand That's where humans find happiness We live for the bonds that we form with friends and family members. That's who we humans are whatever you say, okay Then what is it that makes you happy? I'd hate to be guilty of asking too much But I think I'd be happy if I could just leave this place He's gonna set it free or why would someone who already has so much power and prosperity need such a thing? What's your tongue door in the royal presence if you continue with this insolence? Smash your flask you wouldn't dare to destroy such an important source of knowledge. That's enough chatter immortality Tell me is it possible or is it growing impatient in your old age? lamentable Okay, I'll tell you how you can achieve a Dude, I'm trying to connect the lines with Xerces, but it's hard irrigation canals the kings ordered them to be dug all throughout The country that's the king for you. He even cares about the well-being of us commoners. Yes. He does So he told me he told the king how they needed to basically like make the land a blood again Like where they murder everyone and so that's why Gave him the secret The irrigation canal Was for this was for the Okay, so once one is done it's lit Okay, especially from the information we've learned from the tunnels being dug and where the cities are being massacred Ho and I was a part of that so that's why he knows what's gonna happen Does he take it he doesn't need it he's a Homunculus right or does hoenheim take it because hoenheim can't die Indeed or hoenheim said he's not doesn't have a human's body Yeah, so Salim does basically swoop in and take it. This is the human sacrifices and he's being used as one They tricked the king So that So he told him the wrong place and used them so that's why hoenheim is immortal he's Used a transmutation circle the original transmutation circle from Xerxes Wow She That's his original body being taken away But now I just don't understand why the father looks so much like him Maybe he was split into two parts like one good one bad and that's the future That's what would happen to central but how do multiple people achieve immortality like how Bradley has the table and you get a chair I guess if you're at the center of everything And that I guess said that this is why hoenheim knows exactly what's going to happen or what's happening as they speak It's just a repeat of Xerxes Tony mayonnaise Everyone's dead sub for him literally everyone It's no use all of their souls have been taken from them. Oh, they're master majesty. Oh, are you all right? Tell me wait your body How is it feeling? Oh? Using your blood I created a receptacle for myself. I can walk on my own Oh What's going on here? What's the difference between him and saline? Thank you for your blood and I've given you knowledge And now I've given you a body that will live forever Focus your attention within yourself. He didn't even want immortality You hear them. Don't you the voices of all the people in this country who were offered in exchange for your immortality Well half of their lives were for me actually I appreciate your cooperation It all makes so much sense now She's one that the father once uses a sacrifice to though and I finally get to meet the one who taught my son I'm sure they must have been a handful. Oh, no, they were fine boys Let me get your medicine May I have a look at her? I'm all right. No, you are not all right find us a car quickly hurry right She's been sick for a while Go sick go. This is zoomie. You have seen the truth. Oh, he just wanted a minute with her sacrifice Please be honest with me my insights were taken. I was trying to bring my child back to life. I see I'm sorry No, he has to be helping her he has to be helping her He shoved his hand into you, but my breathing. It's he helped her. How can that be? There's no wound your organs were taken away as a testament to your sin They cannot be brought back that I did rearrange your entrails somewhere to improve the flow of blood. It's a zoomie Give in to your fate just yet. You are the boys Bob, but who who are you? I am a philosopher stone in the form of a man. That's what I am Yeah, I was like man that clears a lot up and then that happened and I'm just like how did he? Rearrange it and there's not even a wound so that clears up so much behind why we got the like why he's immortal I'm so tad confused on whenever it showed how he like had blood come out of his chest and fall onto the ground Unless those were like just the child's sacrifice or those were like just the sacrifices in general from Xerxes I'm not white sure. Oh, there is a post credits Okay, so we'll wait on that like one of the comments that it's just to clear so many things up and it really did It makes a lot more sense now on why the father looks exactly like him It's literally like a part of him split off now My only question once again is the relationship between the father and Salim because isn't the first time I thought the first homunculus was Salim unless he's like two parts like Salim is one part of it and the parts What off from hoenheim is the other part that's the only part that's a little confusing I'm not sure if that's even meant to be cleared up yet But either way I'm really glad we got that cleared up because it's building this world more and more on how we can Understand why everyone is the way they are and why the father looks like hoenheim And what happened at Xerxes and how hoenheim's immortal. It's very nice. So like I said, it's just nice having all of this kind of Celestial stone grand elixir the philosopher stone is known by many names. It's not necessarily a stone the one not necessarily a stone the one that Kimblee has is similar to a crystal you say it has incredible power I would have expected it to be a little bigger than that. I've never seen one That's much bigger than a small pebble Cut to his father The more people involved in the sacrifice of one the larger the stone physically I mean that makes sense because they literally massacred that many people it was split into two two separate people That's how many were involved in the massacre that must be why the transmutation circle is the entire country Because they have so many people that they need to make into basically a living walking philosopher stone That's so interesting man. Just like I said the world building is incredible And with that being said, hope you guys have a wonderful rest of your day. I'll catch you in the next one. Peace!
