steel soul

Even if the coldness and irreversibility at the end of the world is revealed to me outside the window, even if the dying old people tell me that they have experienced the eternal tilt of the balance of reality, I still believe that some characters are sent by God to guide us, and some laws It is an absolute truth worth remembering.

People は がの sacrifice なし
に.そ れ は の TRUE だ と 信 じ て い だ... This is what I hope: on a fine April afternoon, under the shade of a tree full of green branches, softly, to all my love The person who read the above sentence, like Alnian at the beginning of each episode, and then when the next gust of wind swept the treetops, no longer complained and no longer envied... There is no doubt that this is the bible of all steel fans, It is the belief of all steel fans. When a heavy alchemy mark is placed between gain and loss, the connotation of these words becomes unbearable. We will not forget Ed's resolute face when he said "You... are our sins". After Al lost his body and Ed lost his hands and feet, they realized the essence of the alchemical equivalent exchange. The taboos they violated were unforgivable, and at this point, they couldn't look back. The sinful human form brought Ed to the gate of truth, allowing him to see the whole world. This is what he paid for the unbearable pain. The price is so huge that everyone must be moved. Because of this, we understand the meaning of Ed's persistence. In order to make up for mistakes, for the body of the younger brother.









One thing I often forget is that Ed and Al are really just two kids, they should be smiling, brothers should be at odds, fight every now and then and make up, and a mom should gently tell them it's the right thing to do It is wrong to do so. In fact, they had it all for many years before Ed was 10 and Al was 9. They had their home on a small hill, a beautiful mother, naivety who sighed because she was shorter than her brother, and bed-wetting. Ashamed of being teased by my brother, there is a small river flowing by Al's side to watch him cry in dissatisfaction when arguing, there is a country road in Asakusa with ankleless sides for Ed to run, laughing loudly when he is happy, and pounce on his mother when he is sad. sobbing. At that time, their feet were still short, their hands were still fat, they were wearing short shorts, their height was only around mother's waist, their eyes were large, and their faces were very expressive. , read the introduction to alchemy with a vague understanding, draw a simple formation, make a doll as a gift for Wendi, make a little toy horse to show to her mother, win her mother's appreciation, lean on her mother and go home, carefree , the whole world is full of green mountains and high blue sky. It was a wonderful time. And all this was gradually lost after the gentle mother fell, and the last smile was condensed in the moment when her mother lay on the bed and hoped that Ed would make a wreath for her. When the setting sun covered the field with a layer of red dreams, dyed the tombstone red, and dragged Eddie's shadow long, standing in front of the monument, Eddie didn't cry. The smile of my dearest mother in the sunset, can't I see it anymore? No, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, so he said to Al: Let mother come back...

So there is the sternness of the master, and the horror of the beast when cultivating on the desert island.

But in the more decisive human body training, they lost more, lost their bodies, and lost their belonging. Ed's howl, Al's kneeling, this heart-wrenching devastation suddenly appeared in the raging fire of the fire they burned down the house later, like a broken dirge, every note is messy in our hearts, We had to finish it with tears, and we enjoyed it with desolation and regret after it was done.

What do they get? The four words "equivalent exchange"? Painful experience? A scene that dare not come back?
Perhaps we can only get the answer in the words Ed inscribed on the silver pocket watch that marked the National Alchemist - "don't forget 3.oct.10".

  • Number 48, Slicer: Older Broher: No, you don't understand. You must destroy us.

    Slicer: Young Brother: He's right. You must destroy us. There is nothing for the defeated but death that is our rule.

    Edward Elric: I'm not killing anyone. That's not what I do.

    Number 48, Slicer: Older Broher: You're too kind with your words. Calling us anyone, not anything. As if we could still be called human in this twisted state. I didn't say kill, I said destroy. Destroy these thing's we've become.

    Edward Elric: To do that, I'd have to admit you weren't human. And for me to do that, I'd have to admit the same of my brother and I can't do that.

    Number 48, Slicer: Older Broher: He's your brother.
