![]() The most obvious literary figure you can parallel Father to is Faust- he sold his soul in pursuit of knowledge and superiority. Hohenheim’s little smile when all the Xerxians are finally freed….:’) He was taken down by the humanity he loathed. I think it’s very significant the final blow that took down Father wasn’t anything to do with alchemy, just the strength of a human will- and fist. You know, he literally was part of Ling’s soul for a while.Īnd then Ed punches Father so hard he ACTUALLY IMPLODES. Greed’s last-last words “Goodbye, friends of my soul” as a callback to what he directly flashes back to in the anime- Ling told him way back when he killed Bido (the lizard dude)- “Friends are connected by the soul! They’ll always be a part of you!” He’s completely taken those words to heart. ![]() Living a full life to satisfy your longing requires living for others as well as yourself. In the end it was GIVING his all, for the people he loved and believed in, rather than taking anything by force, that satisfied the longing inside him. “Yeah, I don’t need anything else” GREED. When you think about it, if Greed is Father’s desire for human connection/friends separated from him, basically the part of him that has the capacity to love is rebelling against the hateful part of him and sabotaging him to keep him from hurting anyone else. “Just going through a late puberty, pops!”Įven your last words are amazing, Greed omg. Granted, okay, anyone would know that after being around Lan Fan two seconds. Sure says a lot that even after a short time knowing Lan Fan, Greed knows she can be trusted to swoop in like a badass and save Ling just automatically. “Lan Fan has a philosophers stone” Yeah good thing Lan Fan is the only one of y’all who has her shit together, otherwise Xing would be screwed. ![]() And of course he has to insult Ling and act tough even on the way out. The first and last lie Greed ever told is a completely selfless one, to protect the one thing he couldn’t let go- his friend. This is the boy who won’t sacrifice anything no matter what, even if it means being dragged along, so Greed has no choice but to sucker punch him. HE’S BECOME BFFs WITH THE MONSTER INHABITING HIS BODY. He says it’s for becoming Emporer, but it’s pretty clear it’s because he cares about Greed. I love that Greed yells at that one guy for getting blown away from an explosion as he catches him “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING!!!” Oh god, Greed. WHY IS HE BEATING YOU UP WITH HIS BARE HANDS? BECAUSE YOU MESSED WITH HIS BABY BROTHER, ASSHOLE.įather you can’t just vomit explosions as an answer to all your problems.
