I went viral when I attended my ex-girlfriend's wedding

strictly speaking.

The anime "Fullmetal Alchemist" takes a unique path.

Although there is a setting background of alchemy for blessing.

But there is no general routine for killing monsters and upgrading.

It talks about.

It is more of a spiritual test.

By enhancing personal psychological quality.

Only those who write about inner strength can go further.

And those who are blinded by desire for gain.

Often it can only be fun for a while.

Its content expresses neither passion nor passion in the broad sense.

Nor is it unity in the narrow sense.

It's not just hard work.

It is a discussion and study of complex human nature under alchemy.

There is no long-winded nonsense in Fullmetal Alchemist.

The plot is very compact.

Never procrastinate.

Basically all the branch screens that appear later.

They all serve the main plot line.

Nothing added.

No changes.

And as comic fans dig deeper and deeper.

They were unknowingly attracted by the plot and couldn't stop.

Level of obsession.

It can be said that it is much stronger than any other work released before "Dream Weaver".

in the following story.

The two Edward brothers initially thought that a treasure called the 'Philosopher's Stone' could help them recover.

After all, it is in the legend.

The Philosopher's Stone is a treasure that can complete alchemy without relying on the alchemical formula of 'equivalent exchange'.

But as their understanding of alchemy gradually deepened.

Only then did I discover that the Philosopher's Stone does have such an effect.

But the price paid behind it is unacceptable.

War, hatred and life.

These three are its foundation.

It does not refer to the principle of ‘equivalent exchange’.

It just means that I don’t have to pay anything.

But there is nothing missing from what it needs.

Only then did the two brothers gradually understand.

It turns out that the cruelty of this world is based on the cornerstone of 'equivalent exchange'.

Regardless of individual life trajectory.

Or the future of the fate of towns and countries.

Even the destruction of the universe.

All are swirling around this theory.

From one to the whole.

All into one.

Gains and losses.

Either sacrifice or salvation.

All on this unbreakable foundation.

It constitutes the opposition and unity of the general movement of a circle.

The two brothers in the anime do not have any specific protagonist aura.

Some battles with enemies.

What can be won is what can be won.

You can't win.

No matter what, you can't win.

It wouldn't be said that there was a sudden explosion of remaining blood.

Then a bug comes up and life changes or something.

The combat power system is very pragmatic.

As for the creation of villain characters, they are also relatively realistic.

Many characters do what they want to do based on their own needs or alignment.

I don't care about other people's opinions at all.

Not to mention that he will not change his mind easily because of some big reason.

From beginning to end.

They all stood their ground.

One road to the end.

The plot contains no exaggeration or glamour.

The chapter on synthetic beasts

This is probably the story that shocked and frightened comic fans the most in the early stages.

This plot is too sad.

It’s also despairing everywhere.

Shutuck.

A national alchemist with the name of ‘The Alchemist of Destiny’.

And he was the first person in the world to successfully perform biological refining.

But after learning the story behind his honor.

Everyone couldn't help but feel numb about it.

It's more like taking a cold bath in winter.

I felt a biting coldness all over my body.

Shutak once had a happy family.

a family of three.

During this period, I also got a cute little white dog named Alexander.

Over the years.

He has been trying to make a talking synthetic beast.

At the same time, he is also relying on his own efforts to realize his wishes.

Believe that one day in the future.

Will become the coveted national alchemist.

However, this belief did not persist.

After hearing that the Edward brothers, who were only twelve years old, had obtained the national alchemist qualifications and were hailed as genius alchemists.

Shutak's heart began to twist.

He began to fear his failure.

Eager to prove that he is not inferior.

If he wants to do it.

He can do it.

Shutak no longer wants to be invisible to others like a waste.

He wants to prove himself.

So Shutak thought of the forbidden technique that was not allowed by the world.

It is also the biggest taboo used by the two brothers at the beginning of the story.

After having an idea.

He took action.

Eventually.

It also worked.

Be the first person to perform biological refining.

He was given the title of National Alchemist that he had dreamed of.

But what the outside world doesn’t know is.

The synthetic beast he made from his first creature was actually his wife who claimed to the outside world that she had returned to her hometown many years ago.

The synthetic beast that Shulita made with his wife can only say one sentence constantly.

"I really want to die. I really want to die."

Finally this synthetic beast.

That is, Shutak's wife.

He went on a hunger strike and died soon after.

"This bastard is so fucking inhuman."

"Using my wife to refine a synthetic beast, damn, it's too poisonous, it's just crazy."

"This is crazy, absolutely crazy."

"For a title, I even sacrificed my wife. It's so disgusting."

"This guy is completely obsessed."

"Shutak really deserves to die."

"This kind of person is really terrible. He is different from what he looks like. He is a completely cold-blooded animal."

Comic fans were already furious when they saw this.

However, there are operations waiting for them that will further refresh their outlook on life.

After successfully obtaining the qualification of a national alchemist.

Shutak actually didn't say it was so moisturizing.

Because it's been a long time in the back.

No matter how hard he studied.

Nor can I achieve any other great achievements.

The triennial national alchemist assessment is coming soon.

If you fail this assessment.

Then the alchemist qualifications obtained by sacrificing his wife will also be cancelled.

Everything he has done will be meaningless then.

Shutak couldn't accept this result at all.

And just then.

The Edward brothers sought to recover the bodies they had lost due to their misuse of alchemy.

I came to Shutak's home and asked him about the issue of biological refining.

Shutak saw Edward, who had become the state alchemist at the age of twelve.

The feeling of unwillingness and frustration in my heart became more and more intense.

At the same time, facing the ensuing assessment, I could no longer hold back the impatience and uneasiness in my heart.

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at his six-year-old daughter——Nina.

When Brother Edward came to visit again the next day.

Tucker's home.

Nina’s laughter and laughter were no longer visible.

The little white dog named Alexander also completely disappeared.

Subsequently.

They found Shutak in the dark research room.

him at this time.

He was caressing a dog next to him with great tenderness, whose coat color was very similar to Alexander's.

After learning the truth about Shutake's transformation into a synthetic beast.

Edward was very angry.

I wish I could tear him into pieces.

Use this to vent your grief.

Countless comic fans were also trembling with anger.

As the saying goes.

Tiger poison does not eat its seeds.

This Shutak is worse than a beast like them.

First, he refined his wife.

The daughter and the dog were integrated again.

demon!

The other party is a complete devil!

"Don't say that the protagonist wants to kill him, I have even thought about it."

"This guy is so inhuman. If he doesn't die, I won't feel at ease."

"Can Nina ever recover?"

"Don't think about it, there's no chance. If he could recover, his wife wouldn't go on a hunger strike and die."

"I think it's possible, but Tucker can't do it. If he were the little flask man, he might be able to make a sacrifice."

"The price is too great. Half a million people died just because he and Hohenheim gained immortality. Who can bear it?"

"I'm so stupid. We have such a good family, but we're all in trouble. Just for the sake of a title, it's useless."

"That's what we think, but in this country in the anime, we might think differently."

"No matter how different I am, I can't mess with my own wife and daughter. I'm so fucking pissed off. It's the first time I've watched an anime and got so excited."

The barrage went crazy.

It's all words to vent.

But at this time, Shutak in the picture still didn't have any regrets.

He was thinking.

It’s when facing new assessments.

There is no longer any fear of losing one’s identity as a national alchemist.

No need to be denied by the world anymore.

Because he has already become a new synthetic beast.

A synthetic beast that was made after his wife disappeared a few years ago.

In his hands.

At this time, he was still clutching the national alchemist medal he had received in exchange for his wife and daughter.

Shutak completely lost himself in desire.

In fame, fortune and family affection.

He chose fame and fortune without hesitation.

He used his daughter and dog Alexander to create a synthetic beast that could understand human speech.

In this way, he can maintain his identity as an alchemist in his country.

However, his ending was just as comic fans expected.

It's extremely desolate.

After the Dongchuang Incident.

He was arrested by the military.

Later he was killed.

The synthetic beast made by Nina and Alexander was also rescued by Ska with compassion.

Damn people are dead.

People who didn’t deserve to die died.

Such an ending.

People don't know what to say at all.

The two Edward brothers sat on the steps grieving.

Comic fans are also silent.

This part of the story.

It really exposes the dirty nature of human nature.

No room left at all.

And what about the plot after this.

There are also various kinds of depression.

Mustang pays homage to an old friend.

Gulid was stunned.

President Russ dies

Edward exhumed 'Mother's body.

Farewell at Hohenheim's grave

Many warm and sad scenes are intertwined.

Natural and real.

Nothing artificial.

In fact.

This is not a relaxing anime.

Eighty percent of the story structure is darker than reality.

But it also moved the audience even more.

in this work.

Every character is more than just good and evil.

They all have their own frustrations.

Everyone has their own past.

They all have their own persistence.

These beliefs come together in different situations and positions.

It gives this anime its unique charm.
