Hohenheim gave birth to destruction, but also gave birth to salvation, more like the existence of the mother god; and the truth is like the father god, silently on the sidelines, giving painful punishments when they touch their own realm, not directly pointing out but relying on themselves to understand. Originally, I wanted to say that Hohenheim is more like a god, but I think this is also a god in our imagination. It will give hope to human beings and help the disadvantaged human beings. How does a real god view human beings? Perhaps it is like looking down at the ants like an artificial human, or it may be the same treatment without emotional waves. At first, human beings were afraid of God, but after the development of civilization, the saying that God loves the world was derived, but no one knows how. God never interfered.
In the end, facing the equivalent exchange proposed by the truth, Edward chose to give up alchemy and return to the insignificance and ordinaryness of human beings. This may be the essence of the world. Humans are bodies, the world is a larger body, and the world may also be bigger. Each level of the body is insignificant relative to it (jumping to the idea of governing the country of Mustang, each level protects those who are one level lower than yourself).
The original wish of the villain in the bottle is to walk out of the bottle and see the world, but after seeing the world, it is no longer satisfied, it wants to become the world. It's hard to say that this is just a wish that it will have. Isn't the immortality that the new country longs for and the king of the Ke country expects the same way? At the end, each of the brothers went to learn about the world, and I immediately recalled the original vision of the villain in the bottle. The difference is probably that the villain in the bottle understands the world but has no respect for the world. It sees that what the world wants is to get all this, while Edward sees the world but can resolutely give up the power he once had. Alchemy emphasizes equal exchange. , but the villain in the bottle has been exchanging other people's sacrifices for his own gains. It wants to devour the world, but it is swallowed by the world in the end.
"One is all, all is one" throughout. The truth says that I am you, because everyone is a part of the world, one is all, all is one, everyone is a Buddha, and a Buddha is everyone.
When the villain in the bottle really gets the truth, the truth doesn't seem to resist much, maybe it doesn't matter to the truth? Because all power will definitely return to the world, all conflicts are just the inner cycle of the world, the cycle may be chaotic for a while, but the destination remains the same.
At the end, all the conflicts of emotions and ideas broke out. Best anime ending I've seen so far!
