Isn’t the instructions to learn flame alchemy the Tattoo that is on Riza’s back?

@@sonnydelight33 yes. Which her father put there.

how tf did he get it wrong like 2mins into the video, it has to be on purpose for ppl to comment

​@@uuh4yj43he hasn't seen the series in awhile so that's probably why

@@uuh4yj43 I’m assuming he’s used ChatGPT and just never bothers checking the script or learning to see if it was wrong or right

Such as the Anderson's alchemy being passed down through the generations (strikes a double double 💪 pose)!

Correct. Alchemy is just rearranging atoms and molecules basically. You have to know exactly what elements you are changing into what other element and how that works, and that is incredibly complicated, which is why each alchemist typically specializes in onr or two types because becoming an alchemist is basically a magical chemistry masters degree.

@@EskChan19Exactly! I love the power system it’s why everyone in the verse dosen’t do alchemy. It’s incredibly difficult & even though state alchemist are to stay in shape > All state alchemist would be considered “nerdy” due to them actually needing to know the ins and outs of their alchemy

You don't born to speak English...you have to learn Example: instead of don't you should've said "aren't" Lesson complete. You're welcome 😊

@gaiatrix839 you could tell me that without being this passive aggressive, English is my third language

I always thought that it used souls (life) as energy. It's well established that the value of a human life is immeasurable. So I thought that since human life is the ultimate sacrifice, it allows you to do nearly anything (except bring back the dead). You are giving back much more than what you're transmuting. I could very well be wrong so do tell me how it actually works

@@lyger8742 yes, you are right. The "wellspring of energy" is the human lives you've put into it. You converting their lives into the fuel source of your alchemy. It doesn't violate conservation of mass because you are using human lives to make up the difference.

As I've understood it, the Philosopher's Stone runs a little fast and loose with the "equivalent" portion of the exchange. As was said, the value of a human soul is immeasurable in terms of alchemy, but because Truth considers sentimental and metaphorical "value" in addition to material worth, what that really means is that the value of a human soul in a transmutation equation is whatever the WORLD thinks it's worth. That's why Human Transmutation is impossible even with a Philosopher's Stone; the fact you'd go to such lengths to bring back a life intrinsically makes that life worth MORE than whatever you'd trade for it. So even an Amestris-sized Philosopher Stone wouldn't be an equivalent exchange for the one life someone would willingly trade it for. But that works in the other direction, too. Most people would say a human soul is worth more than any mundane material, and since a soul cannot be divided, that would create an unbalanced equation in your favor. So rather than creating a Rebound towards Truth, you simply get whatever you asked for without actually trading the soul, meaning your Alchemy "costs" nothing. Which doesn't VIOLATE the law of Equivalent Exchange; it just loopholes past it by using Truth's own bias for human souls against it. But that's why Philosopher Stones are so dangerous; even the smallest stone contains more than 1 human soul, and therefore any Alchemy done with them is beyond the realm of human limitation. And so long as you don't try to perform transmutation at a greater level than the number of souls in your stone, your stone will never disappear or lose alchemical potency.

Phillipus Bombastus Theophrastus Von Hohenheim. Paracelsus was more like a nickname or author name.

Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim is the full name of Parcelsus. You might remember that as the original name the Dwarf in the Flask wanted to give Hohenheim before the later claimed that was too much.

@@notconnorslays1 yoh don’t follow the laws of equal exchange

Indeed

Ironically it should’ve been almost as long as Attack on Titan.

He is only 5'5, pretty puny for a dude :D.

It is, the creator just has limited knowledge when it comes to anime outside of Naruto/Boruto. He often gets this half or completely wrong when it comes to talking about anything not Naruto/Boruto. He's done this with a lot of his new videos regarding Bleach TYBW arc as well

It is even a mayor Plotpoint and very well explained in the Series. If you know how, you make a Circle and that Circle does pretty much whatever you want. If Mustang switches to other Gloves whit different Markings, he could easily use Metal, Earth, Wather, or Medicine. And someone who saw the Truth is obviously able to perform every Alchemy from scratch if they undersrand the Formular.

@@higherrsyeah and also with death not he said that light used the shinigami eyes to kill L 💀

Yeah, i always have Mustang as #1 when i not counting P stone cracked characters. Its pretty much shown time and again that he annihilates anything he really aims at. He is attack potency incarnate in FMAB. There's a reason his alchemy style was such a closely guarded secret.

​@@LectricVonThunder Ed is literally the only alchemist in history to alchemically revive a human being, what are you all smoking. Short of Father and Hohenheim Ed is the strongest alchemist at the end of the series, and arguably gains a greater understanding of what powers alchemy than anyone.

There's a character breakdown essay about Ed and Kimblee but it can be put in Roy and Edward's situation too. I think Ed is definitely better in close-quarter combat than Roy but in terms of alchemical destruction power, Roy obviously wins the title. But at base, both can do what each other were doing. If Ed wants to, he can do fire alchemy, and it goes both ways as Roy also use conventional clap to the ground to create walls in the last episodes just like how Ed usually does. Edward always (or most of the time) choose to disarm his enemy, just like how he slashed Roy's transmutation circle on his gloves during the comical fight, and even when he's toe to toe with a mass-murderer-war-criminal like Kimblee, he still chose to disarm him by making him drop the red stone from his grip and slashing the tattoo on his hand. Edward's naivety eventually comes back at him when Kimblee unveil the other red stone he has and deliver a blow to the tower that ended up impaling him with a steel beam. Were it was Mustang who fought against Kimblee, he would've incinerate him to ashes right there. Edward will not abandon his morals and personal belief to defeat an enemy, while Roy would do his best to assure that the threatening enemy will not come up their asses later. What sets them apart is that Edward is not a murderer while Roy is.

@@tinamoul in terms of alchemic knowledge, no one excells more than Ed, but in terms of practicality, Mustang is a better alchemist than ed, due to how destructive his alchemy is and how powerful it is, if Mustang and Prime Ed were to fight, Mustang would destroy ed and that's undeniable

​@@sinbad4696By prime ed you mean when he was fighting father before losing his alchemy,if that's the case then l'm baffled by the fact that we are comparing a 16/17 year old teenager with an adult who is over 30 years old.Just think if ed didn't lose his alchemy how stronger he would have gotten through experience, also considering how much of a genius he was at his age he could've possibly created a more destructive form of alchemy than flame alchemy which would be terrifying 💀 (of course he wouldn't use that for bad purpose.)

I agree with this! His options feel almost infinite. Begin able to use blood. Also being really intelligent he would probably beat bas gran.

@@JoelK615 i LOVED him. When i first watched it i thought he was gonna get locked up and come back later like so many ppl in other animes but nope 😒

Hes a filler character, the first episode of the anime is filler

This dude doesnt even watch fmab. He just read a random article in internet and make a content with it.

@@flashvash7543 I agree! He had so much potential. Sadly he was only filler. A lot of cool things could have been done with him! The first episode sets up his character really well.

Haha I see what you did there

@@sad_platypus pun almost intended

Yes he is the best character in the anime by far. But I think lust and envy would have to disagree about him being the hottest.

No it's the same in both versions, this video is incorrect. He's also incorrect on Izumi's powers, she doesn't manipulate ions. All she did was make Greed's armor brittle like Ed and then kick him

@@megabladechronicles962 a lot in this video is incorrect, i don't think I've ever seen a video about fma with so much misinformation

he has a bootleg sharingan a mustache and swords for days

Hes actually probably closer to taskmaster, expert at all weapons but excels with swords, and like said above almost has a bootleg sharingan

@@ihlm3339greatest explanation ever😂

​@@ihlm3339💀I about to explain but this is much better than my explanation

The thing is that this ranked alchemists. And while King Bradley is insanely powerful, I don't think we ever see him use alchemy, he's a fighter and a king, not an alchemist.

They absolutely were willing to kill. Idk what you're talking about. They didn't WANT to. But they were willing to. And tried several times. Like they absolutely 1000 percent tried and were willing to kill skar

@@ImTheMan0fSteel I don't recall them being willing to kill anyone, including Scar.

Damn today was a good day didn’t have to use my Ak

I felt the same way 💀

She's also not an Alchemist as she doesn't use Alchemy...

@@lo4tr By your logic neither is Scar and he's on this list

@@jbwon2775 I'm assuming that Scar made the list because 'technically' he does use full-on Alchemy in his fight with Wrath... though I'd hesitate to say that actually makes him an Alchemist. I find it funny that he doesn't necessarily include Father and Hoenheim as Alcehmists just because they aren't human (despite both of them openly being Alchemists) yet includes Scar with no problem.

@@lo4tr Again no he doesn't, his alchemy is based off of his brother's research on purification arts (Stated in Volume 15) when he discovered that Amestris alchemy didn't draw power from the earth but from the massive philophers stone (aka father) underneath Amestris. Hence why Father was able to seal everyone's alchemy except Scar and Mei because they use the true form of alchemy that generates power from the earth (purification arts) So no Scar does not perform the "alchemy" you think of, he's still using purification arts easily identifiable through the tattoos on his arms.

@@lo4tr Maybe do some more research before you go around trying to discredit someone else's knowledge kid.

You can’t take it away (without a philosopher stone) that’s how she got her chalk free abilities

@@orichard99 in theory she could get them back the same way roy gets his vision back

​@@PatrickTillman7roy never got his vision back wtf

@@jatinx2x marcoh offers to use the stone to restore Roy's vision the condition that has to undo the current ishvalan policy. It's towards the end of volume 18 in the Manga

@@PatrickTillman7 roy decided to use it for good of people instead of curing his eye I know what you're tryna say He did try to use it for havoc tho, but not for himself

Also Mustang should be above Ed. This guy really needs to watch the show again

​@@AlooParantha_311ehhhh I disagree on that. Ed is far far far more versatile than mustang and we never really see Roy have to fight hand to hand. Ed should hypothetically dominate up close. And eds arguably smarter on his feet too. Roy fucks himself order with rain and water several times lol.

@@ImTheMan0fSteel if Mustang goes all out, he beats Ed, high difficulty

@@AlooParantha_311 mid way through the series I'd agree with you. But Ed only gets better as the series progresses.

​@@AlooParantha_311nope end series ed would kill mustang period

Hes still using alchemy and is strong af with it

@@2406west it's been said multiple times alchemy is a science.. and scar is using his brother's science.. not his.. just because someone is driving a car doesn't make him an engineer... That's what scar is, a user, and not the Alchemist

@@NeilTheMoron thats a false comparison tho hes driving the car so he is a driver. Just like hes using alchemy. Youre taking things to literally and being kinda petty lol. Just because and architect draws the blueprints doesnt void the person who builds it from being a construction worker

@@NeilTheMoron its about people who use alchemy and are powerful with it. Scar uses alchemy and us powerful with it. It isnt about who is the most knowledgeable or well studied. Its about combat

@@2406west But the whole point of Alchemy is knowledge.. hence people who have seen the truth can access it without creating a circle ... hence alot of study is required before you can actually create anything with alchemy.. hence Ed and Al were called geniuses.. They studied.. That's alchemy.. You can call it petty but that's what the mangaka wrote... And a construction worker has skills and has trained in his craft.. But you won't expect him to do what an architect does.. neither will you expect an architect to work as a construction worker... But you won't call a construction worker an architect because he used the plans of the architect to build a house. Scar doesn't understand the alchemy he uses, he needed Dr Marco to decipher it and then took the final product and pasted it on his skin so he can use it whenever on his right arm. Same story with his left even though he didn't consent for the arm transplant.. He's just the user, Not the Alchemist who created it

Also, he's a better fighter than Ed even before he became a suit of armor and passed the entrance exam the same time as his brother.

Absolutely. He basically went rampage solo against a whole city, turning it basically into an ice cube and it needed multiple alchemists to even just slow him down, including Ed, Al, Armstrong and Mustang (if i remember correctly) and finally he was only defeated by Wrath. Even considering he had a stone, thats just insane.

What do you rate it

Yes Ed losing his alchemy killed me I wish he would get it back but I doubt God literally took his gate of truth for his brother body if they bring it back it would be some b.s that wouldn’t make sense so I don’t see it happening sadly 😢

absolutely disagree! Ed by the end of the show does surpass her. And Scar, Kimbly and Mustang are 100% stronger than her! Scar should have been no. 6!

Yea og had a deeper story line but bother hood was better animated fights were great story was good too really can’t complain about either
