The Official Fullmetal Alchemist thread

Didn't Dante and Ed's father make the first couple stones? We know they made at least one. That is how they first jumped bodies. I understand starting wars to get more lives to make the stone b/c it takes more then a city's worth to do so, but after all they did to get the military in Leor I would think just taking it people in the first place would be the best thing and just start a cover story that they tyred to make a stone. It helps keep their cover and keeps other from trying to make the stone. The only reason I see to do what they did was to spur more war.( I am thinking about this to much 😛 I should enjoy the show. )

um... to answer the question of why ed's dad is beyond the gate, its because dante sent him there a while back and they are kind of in an alternate universe

Hohenheim alone made the stone....All Dante did was sit there, watch, and look good. That is why it's necessary for Dante to use other people to make the stone.

Just think of it like this. Hohenheim is basically God....The best Alchemist there is, and there will ever be. Dante has second hand knowledge from Hohenheim.

See the thing is Alchemists can have the power to make the stone, but not the knowledge. Or in Dante's case, the knowledge but not the power. Every so often there happens to be an Alchemist with both. Ie: Hohenheim, Marcoh, Scars brother.

Yes, that was a very confusing episode...hopefully they will explain. Those camera angles and the way they kept spinning was annoying and funny at the same time. My friend said they made her dizzy! 😛

To which parts are you referring? I can't remember.

is it comprehensible.....

Lol...I hated that part.
It gave me a headache...I mean,the whatever mansion was pretty & all but spinning around in circles....whoah.

That was too much. I will remember that epi as the Spinning in Circles epi.....or w/e

God, I wish I could remember what yall was talking about.

Is there anything specific you could tell me about the Dizzy beside, like something was done or said, besides saying, "The part where Ed and Dante were talking"?

is it comprehensible.....

Dante was talking to him about the state alchemy exam, i think

It was really a matter of watching closely as the spinning was occuring as the room Spins all of the Twists and Turns of this whole Story are Revealed in that one disscussion between Ed and Dante'.

It can be noted that while the Discussion is going on you really see the vastness of the Ballroom as well as it's beauty showing this can really add a lot to what Dante Says about all of the Power that the Philosopher's Stone posesses, How many years she and Hoenhiem were around, and the High Cost that it took to make the Stone (which is also shown by the scenes of old Central (which is the underground city)

The scene is really meant to show the utter Confusion caused in the Series and all over the Philosopher's stone and Alchemy it is not uncommon for people to be confused by the time they get to this scene in the Series and this part reflects it or adds to it
( Or, if you are like me Curious enough to jump to the end of your Alchemy Text Book and start reading the notes that the Earlier Alchemists had on the Philospher's stone and the Gate)
