idk if you read comments on patreon vids this old but I joined for these specific reactions, you two are adorable and and I love watching you enjoy shit together

NICK FROST

lol right?

Living for the moment where Montana, upon finding out Havoc is paralyzed, immediately suggests that since he can't use his legs they may as well sacrifice them to God to see what they can get for them. As if they're tricking Family Dollar into refunding a keychain they broke.

Karmac

I feel like you're missing the whole equivalent exchange thing. If you want to make a human bone for example you don't need another human bone you need the elements that make up bone, so calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulphur, iron, zinc, manganese ect. That's why blowing up the water worked. H2O separated into pure hydrogen and oxygen is super explosive. Basically, alchemy is like cooking and you don't make a cake with a cake, you use flour eggs ect.. That's what Ed and Al where using. They figured out the composition of a human body of their mother's size and tried to transmute her. My interpretation of the problem with bring back a life is what is the equivalent makeup of a soul? More than that, what is the make up of a specific soul? I think Ed was thinking like a chemist, as in our mom made us so our blood is genetically tied to her so that's equal to a soul which, yeah genetical that makes sense but there is a ton wrong with that spiritually.

Havoc can't get automail because the nerves in his lower back had been severed. Automail uses the electrical signals from the nerves to move

Also yes, the "I've got your soul brother" is definitely an amazing joke xD

fr0st

No shade, just since you asked after the plan was mentioned "what is the plan here" so it sounded like you missed the details

fr0st

I think pausing more may be useful when there are discussions happening because I suspect you guys missed the plan Ed outlined which was that since the homunculi have been intervening actively to keep Ed alive since he's "an important sacrifice", if Ed's life is being threatened by Scar attacking him, it will lure out at least one of the homonculi to save him. To do that, they need to keep scar engaged, safe from bullets, but also not allow him to kill Ed or Al.

Ever Beltran

This, although. It was Ed's Automail not Al's haha

I'd like to clarify that Ed did not give up his arm in exchange for Al's soul, he gave up his arm in exchange for creating a bond between Al's soul and the suit of armor. But this was possible because Al's soul still existed, it was just trapped inside the portal of truth. This is very different from when someone tries to bring a person back from the dead because (as the boys discovered in the previous episode), once a person dies, their soul either ceases to exist or goes to some unknown place where it is absolutely impossible to recover it from. So, if you want to resurrect someone, you'd have to create a new copy of that person's soul, and THAT is impossible.

I am pretty sure you need functioning nerves for automail. At least Ed's nerves are connected to his automail.

Eric Smith

Why bread, specifically? This is some communion shenanigans lol

imcalledgpk

You know what Kenny, don't listen to what anybody says. Chess is fucking cool, and so are you.

Vex Valor

Some people have pointed out how Jean Havoc's spine was severed making automail not work, but also remember that even if he got automail, it would take like 3 years for him to recover and be used to it. Ed recovered from his in a year and a half and people were amazed by that recovery time. They don't have that kind of time to wait for Jean.

DTLA

you talked over this in the episode, so I thought I'd inform you. Havok cannot be helped with automail because his nerves were completely severed in his spine. If you remember, when Eds automail is connected to him they have to connect the nerves as well. This is not possible with the kind of injury Havok sustained.
