Rewatching this in hysterics because of Montana's somehow musical 'nnanananannannoo' when mustang almost gets stabbed at 5:49 🤣🤣

Andrés Guzmán

They probably forgot, but I remembered this precisely when they wrongly said this could happen with some other soul.

I agree with Montana, I would rather be a soul in a suit of armour than lose my vison

When Mustang lost his sight, he *did* gain something from Truth (however unwilling): like Ed, Izumi, and Alphonse, he can perform alchemy without a circle. It's not about Truth realizing Mustang didn't open the portal of his own volition. See, Truth doesn't exactly care about the morality of a situation when those who come to his presence arrive there. It's content to let the chips fall as they may, which kind of makes it a "god-like" creature in this universe.

The definition of die mad, bruh

Azurai

King Bradley is literally just a man too angry to die.

"The thought of never seeing your face again? I'd rather die." First time I've cried watching one of these.

Jordan Torres

Notice that AL and ED say similar things to ALs body when they're getting taken away

Ryne C. Snyder

Seconding this all the way. I honestly think they've both enjoy the show immensely, and I think Montana in particular would really love it.

Letts React

Yea, I think Mustang would have a hard time watching too 😭😭😭 I’ll see myself out

Tmatts

That would have been metal AF but so hard to watch

R. Lewis

There's a fun fan theory that suggests the Truth went easy on Mustang because he was unwilling. Considering how everyone else actually has parts of their body ripped away, he did get off a lot easier than the others. The Truth COULD have just taken his whole eyes.

YES, fruits basket has been redone recently too and definitely had a lot of mental health and interpersonal relationship (and therefore, of course, trauma) themes

fr0st

Yeah, just funny that they either forgot that or maybe thought it wasn't relevant anymore. xD

VXP

They watch many of shows during the week so they likely forgot but they do tend to talk a lot during the show and miss details as a result. I don't think they disregard it, just missed it or forgot.

David L

continuing to throw in Fruits Basket (2019) in the mix because that show is great and more people should know about it. Plus a nice change of pace for the anime side of things.

fr0st

I wonder if y'all forgot or disregarded when Ed came across Al's body and tried to bring it back and the body said I can't go with you, you're not my soul. Do you think the body will just go with any body at this point when it seems to clearly have an attachment to the "correct" soul and admires Al's selflessness.

And then I thought he would heal it instantly, with the philosophers stone!

Carl

please!!! consider watching cowboy bebop

Haorii

I know your next anime are kinda set with Death Note and MHA (can‘t wait for it) but please consider watching Hunter x Hunter. Maybe you the first two episodes for a test run

Tmatts

That's actually an interesting idea, although Al's weak body probably wouldn't be a good choice here

Ryan Tinkham

Whenever Ed sees the truth its wearing his arm and leg so does that mean Alphonse body is just the truth wearing it

“WELL THERE GOES MY PLANS FOR THE WEEKEND”

imcalledgpk

Let's go! More eyerolls from cliffhangers!

Jaé-De Milton

Aghhh we are in the 60s LETTs GO!

matthew james Stromberg

if al didnt go back father would have been like :l well crap i guess thats it then

Calvin

So how are you guys enjoying the endings we've been getting from the last few episodes? 😈

NICK FROST

Awww the discussion of what y’all would rather give up lol

Sydney

you talking about death note for the non-patrons got me crazy excited before i realized lol.

Letts React

I thought that the plan was to find 5 candidates, and then out of the five choose 1 to inhabit, so I thought maybe that pointed to Al being the best choice because of how “charged with the truth” his body would be from living there? Haha but not all theories can be correct!

NICK FROST

PLEASE WATCH THE BLOOPERS WHEN YOU’RE DONE!!!

Robin Jansson

Souls can not be in other vessels for too long.

I find it so interesting that he's convinced Al's body is part of Father's plan when the plan is something that has been worked on for literal centuries.
