lol a fighting chance? As long as that shield was up they were all screwed. All they needed was an opening to do any damage but if it wasn't for Greed being Greed and Father running low on energy even the MC would be dead. :)

@@christopherrogers532 well if father ran low on energy because he had to keep using his shield then yes the army did have a fighting chance

In all honesty, Father doesn't stand a chance at all. The God inside him is capable of slowly but surely tearing the portal to exit Father's possession. The army is more than capable of tiring him down to the point of him needing Philosopher's Stone at all cost. Lmao if Greed or any other philosopher's stone holder isn't here he doesn't stand a chance at all since he'll have no means to balance his energy

@@christopherrogers532they forced Father to go on the defensive so the main cast could focus on offense. Without their support, Father could’ve gone on the offensive and overwhelmed everyone. And making him focus on defense was perfect considering it was more of a battle against time for him. Any second they bought, brought Father closer to death.

it dependence strongly on timing and place for the army to possess a fighting chance, like the mercs in Allucard. They have a potential to kill even hellsing to some degree, BUT this is hardly possible, if the person in question doesnt cooperates with their lack of understanding modern warfare ability. Father could have made the whole fight meaningless by simply running away, after getting the possession of god and in this fast manoeuvrer suck up every human in his close area. A modern army would simply drop some nukes on him and call it a day and a modern army in this world would need to organize and attack with the clear goal to kill him with A LOT of plans, if he reaches a front and even better the ability to limit his movement. But it is likely, that this nation and the surrounding nations are unable to organize such a defence in a short time.

Because sometimes a hero does what he does so they don't have to

@@pdrstudios7168 And that's also why "Friendship Power" trope is hated by all

@@pumpkingamebox But that's a contradictory view. This fight shows the power of friendship. The 1v1 is power of determination

@@pdrstudios7168 Edward didn't have determination? This power of determination increases actual physical capabilities only in a fantasy setting. And people are tired of this trope and how unrealistic it is.

@@pumpkingamebox okay again now from contradictory to as Father And Truth had said: They Know Each Other. Just using this as an example rq. Father and Truth represent the yin yang aspect. Father's Determination and desire to become God he became just that until his own desire betrayed him because in the end he was trying to become that which was all without the need of doing it an actual proper right way. Edward legit went through hell just so he could actually do what needs to be done to get his arm leg and brothers body back. His determination came from seeing Alphonse disappear as well as his rage and his power. So like you just legitimately backed up what I explained without realizing it. That's like you handing someone a book that you wrote about the same topic y'all studied and it's legitimately the same book basically different way of saying it

And then a day later me watched that actual episode! good times!

Man, stumbling upon the manga so many years ago online was amazing. Waiting weeks, months for the next chapter and seeing the amazing way it finished, definitely Core Memories

この総力戦感本当に好き

None of those humans besides kimbly actually adore fighting, Try another adjective.

Yeah adore doesn't work here. This is better. No matter the odds humans fight for what they believe in.

It's not that they adore fighting. They were up against a practical god who pretty much solo'd all of Amestris save for Hohenheim, without whom they would never have a prayer against Father to begin with.

But if that were true, all wars would never end or if they did, they would end I'm complete genocide

Briggs soldiers are something else 😉

“If he breathes he’s target practice!”

When the 'original' came out the manga was halfway finished, we only had half of the story. Brotherhood is the anime what followed the complete manga.

I didn’t watch it for ages because I knew it glossed over the part with Hughes but it is great

@@kbrelax1353Not even the half of the manga was released back then.

山岳兵は基本精強、況してや過酷な雪山の国境地帯を守護するブリッグズなんて精鋭中の精鋭部隊だろうね

This, cowboy bebop, Gurren Lagann and the og trigun might be THE. Best anime ever made. Sword of a stranger, black lagoon vampire hunter D get honorable mentions, oh and iron blooded orphans too.

It was great to see average soldiers amd everyone come together to bring down the false god. Humans fighting for their own future

After seeing the Truth, Roy can use the same circle-less transmutation Ed can, and he claps for it since he channels through the Truth and no longer the gloves

It could be because the blood on the gloves is interrupting the circle

His gloves are for fire alchemy, whereas the clap is for anything it touches.

@labbit3574 He clapped his hands, snapped his fingers, clapped his hands again to THEN form something.

@@airsoul366 he clapped because he attempted to use clapping to use alchemy like Fullmetal, but it didn’t feel natural to him so he switched back to how he originally does it. There, here’s your answer.

well, he isn't human.

That's kinda the point. He's just a raging beast who would have owned the entirety of Amestris had Hohenheim not reversed the nationwide transmutation circle.

Ironic that the one who did the grandest of schemes, thought the least of all

I mean, Truth literally calls him out on not having learned shit too. XD

He is called homunculus

Yeah that is demon obtain little power of god but still powered. Yes, that's how the devil gets only a little power given by God as a trick. but still strong for an unbalanced opponent on behalf of humans because of work the same gives great resistance that is difficult for the father of the false god.

@@ainiyusoff4552 He's not a demon. Rather, he's a portion of God that became sentient
