So I finished the FMA manga.
WAs really good, as I was told.
Wrath in particular is horrendously badass.
Although I just gotta ask, next to Wrath, Greed is my favorite Homunculus... Why is he kind of stupid? 😐 Most of the difficulty he has when he fights is due to him not just having his shield covering his whole body, yet he almost always just makes claws and tries to only block small sections of his body.
Maybe I really should reread the manga; I just might.

Fanservice is always an answer.....I don't know. From what I've seen, I'd say Pride was my favorite homunculus.

Yeah, I often wondered why he didn't just armor up before going into fights. Maybe it uses up his philosopher's stones energy to do so, so it shortens his lifespan?
Originally posted by King KandyWell he has precog but he still manages to be as badass he is when he is a 60 year old man, and ages like one.
Wrath is one of the most badass characters ever in manga. Especially since he kicks so much ass when compared to the other homunculus he has basically no powers.Yeah, I often wondered why he didn't just armor up before going into fights.

Well it was kinda hand-waved near the end, when Lingreed finally does armor up it was only after Greed gave Ling's body his full power... Which is still kind of laem.
I finally took out some time to re-read the chapters that I have skipped over and I have some very minor questions about how everything was wrapped up. Maybe some of these were answered already but I want to ask them anyway.
1. Did Father actually absord God? or should I say did he absorb all of it?
2. Will Pride still have his powers or what? Plus how did Ed survive partially turning himself into a Pstone?
3. When Truth allowed Ed to apparently take everything, why didn't he get his leg back? I know he didn't really care but I'm still a tad stumped.
1. Well, he definitely thought that he did. IDK what exactly happened there.
2. We don't know if pride will have powers when he grows up, however his philospher stone is mostly drained so I imagine not, unless it is recharged somehow. Ed, I don't think was exchanging himself for a stone but rather for Al's original body (The human transmutation circle is used for things besides just philosopher stones).
3. Because that wasn't what the circle was designed to transmute? IDK.
The leg was in payment from his mother actually, Al's whole body and his leg. Later on he gives his arm to recover Al's soul.
I think Greed didn't armor up because he was slow? I always though there was a reason but now that you mention in I just don't recall what it was.
Manga Homunculus are much weaker than Anime Homunculus methinks, a decent state Alchemist can succesfully kill them by sheer power and the only decent think homunculus have are endurance.
Except Wrath who is uber. Also, Kimblee rocks.

2. Really? I say quite the opposite. Gluttony in this version virtually has a black hole for a mouth. Sloth instead of being soopah water chick is a giant hulk who can shove a tank, take bullets and even artillery shells, and move faster than the eye can follow. Envy... Kind of sucks in this, yeah. Greed is roughly similar. King Bradley is awesome incarnate, Lust is nothing all that special although she is pretty fast. Pride is more powerful than the anime Homunculi combined in my honest opinion. Also, since Father is technically a Homuncuus... Yeah.

I'm going to leave the Greed think alone but as for the manga/anime homunculi comparrison, they're pretty much the same with the manga version having an edge with some. IMO anime Sloth was better than manga Sloth and King Bradley fit the title of Pride more. Seriously, for someone who's supposed to symbolize vanity,Pride had the most humble form in the manga.
All agreed that anime Wrath sucked?
