Not nearly as bad as being beaten senseless by a 15 year old child prodigy.

Who keeps their hair/toe nail clippings in a locket? O_O;;; Do they want to be cloned or something?

What did Ed/Al do to the homunculi after they failed it? o_o leave it there?

The one they made in the basement? That wasn't a humunculous, that was just a failed attempt at creating life. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what the did with the "thing". I'm guessing that Roy probably killed it, or maybe Al?

Actually it was a homunuclus...it was Sloth. The "thing" disappers after Ed binds Al's soul to the armor...we later find out what happens to it and how it becomes Sloth.

Hmmm, I disagree. A humunculous isn't the failed attempt (that thing in the basement), it's the actual being that comes from beyond the gate. It wouldn't make sense that THAT mishmash of bones and skin suddenly disappears and becomes complete a couple years down the line, and in an entirely different place as well. I think that it was killed, or died on its own because it was obviously having trouble breathing. If you still want to debate this, Kinbari-chan, please tell me the episode number(s) that you were talking about, so I can look it up.

Mustang killed Pride without using a circle. He simply used the skull to weaken him and then finished him off. I don't recall ever seeing a Homunculus killed without the artifact from their 'old' body used against them.


They showed Dante nurturing Lust into her final form... when Dante first found her she was simply a mish-mash of organs and whatnot.

That must have been bugged out for Al and Ed to find their mom like that...o_O;;;

Al: Um...brother, I think we made Mom wrong.
Ed: What? But my calculations were perfect!
Al: She's inside out!
Ed:...oops. ^^

What episode is it that Dante was "nurturing" Lust?

I've seen the original Japanese version. We learn from Izumi-sensei that a homunuculus results from the failed attempt of human transmutation. Oh and it wasn't Lust that Dante was "nuturing" it was Sloth. It's episode 47. We first see her as the "thing" with her organs and bones sticking out and such. Dante finds her and gives her red crystals to eat and she then starts to look her better appearance (Ed and Al's mom). It is then that the Fuhrer helps her get into the military.

Errrr... Sloth, not Lust. Get the names mixed up for some reason.

Ok, i just watched it and can confirm it. So, the red stones built the completed bodies of the humunculous we all know and love? Wow, I guess those red stones are a lot more important then we previously thought...

Sorry, forgot something, what if the new humunculous wasn't mad a mouth?

I thought envy didn't know if he was a man or a woman?

does anybody know?

what's wrong with me

lol

Gluttony and Greed were my favorite of the Homunculi

Gluttony is my fav too, he has big dreams which he makes realities (like eating a suit of armor)

yes Suits of armor are very tasty especally ones with blood seals

Envy is my favorite.

how does Gluttony die? and who failed in transmutation with him? and could somebody tell me what episode Ed and Al find out that Envy was there fathers first born?

hello!...um... i konw that the anime is diff. from the manga cuz i read the manga and i read some spoillers from a site about the episodes and apperantly one of them...um....i think..i dunno i kinda forgot but one of them is like...the "world" or somthin..in the manga theres a person and he calls himself the"world" and "god" and ne way hes the one who takes eds arm and leg and in the spoiler they said that ed saw a scar on one of the homuncilis arms and its the same scar ed got once...i might be mixing somthin up here but its somthing like that..right?

We are INVINCEABLE *EVIL LAUGH*aww. who am I kidding show me somin from my life before this and I die.

Isn't it also true that if the orborous tatoo on them gets erased they die?
(Just asking)

Kaiyoko - Not sure that if it gets erased, they die, but if it is impaled or something they become immobile. (Review Ep 44 to see further spoilers)





Was it ever explained about who Greed and Pride were before they became Homunculus.
Curious.

If the Homunculus are touched on their seal they are weaker. Thats why when Lust was being punished by Wreath and Sloth for being disobediant they put a staff on her seal. Oh, and I forgot but does Wrath kill Lust?? I kinda forgot. I know its either Wrath or Sloth right?

UMmmmmmmmmmm.... This is a stupid question, but can the Homuncali get drunk?

Well, they're humans without souls, so I imagine they may be able to...but then again, I don't think they feel much pain, from being able to regenerate so much and be unaffected.



Okay. And I realized something pretty random about the Homunculus....they all wear shiny black...and Envy is wearing shorts, it only looks like a skirt from the front because there's a panel in the front. I've read controversy about him wearing a miniskirt. Just thought I might state that.

EDIT: Had to close the quote tag...;;

~Gurrido-chan~: I don't beleive that a humonculus can get drunk. They have rapid regeration so their bodies would just deal with the alcohol as it enters the body in high amounts. Eventually, you would just piss it all out. And if you keep drinking and drinking, you would build up an imunity to something that wouldn't affect you

@Lust and Envy: Yes, Wrath is the dirty bastard that kills Lusto.

all homunculi dont age except for pride/wrath (depends on manga/anime) does age =P

i don't age

Score for you, Envy! Well, I guess.....never aging does have ups and downs...

Envy doesn't technically age, but he could transform his appearence as if he did age

Dante's a stupid bitch....kinda hot but still a bitch

You think Lyra is hot? >__< I don't find her attractive at all, and she is an annoying character, so that gives me no reason to like her.

Wait a sec... Wrath kills Lust?

Yes, Warth kills Lust.

lol, if people must be instructed again:
If you are spoiler sensitive and do not wish to know these kinds of things, stay away from Character Discussion and the Japanese/Subs sections, unless you do not mind spoilers.

Yes, I hate Wrath for killing Lusto -__-;


<Up to this post, merging "Questions On Homunculi" thread with 4 pages of preceding posts (many of them unrelated OT or Spam posts) to "ashamed To Be Asking This" since questions asked were many "pop" questions (many not related to the thread title) and none of them really developed into any significant discussions. Checked the posts continuity, and confirmed that the the posts continuity will survive after the merge. 02/19/07 ~Tombow>

<"ashamed To Be Asking This" thread was originally started by this poster (who has been inactive since Sep. 15, 2005) and I merged "Spandex?, What's that black stuff?" with the preceding three pages of posts to this thread, to consolidate all minor FMA anime question threads. 02/19/07 ~Tombow>

Okay, first stupid question, and I am very ashamed at having to ask this as an FMA fan, but what is the exact inscription on the inside of Ed's pocketwatch? Or perhaps, just the ep. number where I can find it? I'm paranoid cause I want to get a watch for an Ed cosplay, but with so many bootlegs out there... I've heard the inscription on the boots is wrong date-wise, so if someone could tell me exactly what it's supposed to be, I'd be eternally grateful. I just don't want to get ripped off by a fake. Thanks!

I think the inscription says: Remember, Oct 11, 1910. or something like that. Dont be ashamed, i couldt remember the inscription either

Thanks for your reply, but I need the exact inscription, cause I know the real date is either the 10th or the 11th, and the boots say one while the real one says another. Thanks for replying though. I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't know.

The exact inscription says "Don't forget 3.oct.10" - episode 17

lol so its actualy Oct 3rd, 1910 - i didn't remember either, had to check

I feel so dumb for asking this but i really need to know...

[spoiler]the skull that the Fuhrer has, is it a part of his former body?[/spoiler]

hey saffy!!! it's me ^^

[spoiler]
it was part of the body he originally "came from", his real him[/spoiler]

I have a question that's not really a stupid question, but I've got no where else to put it since I'm not a member and don't feel like joining just to post a topic.

Here's my question: In episodes 41 and 42 when the Philosopher's Stone is on the brink of being created, why did Dante call off the invasion of Lior? From what she said to Ed, it seemed like the only reason she did it was to spread the "Get to close to the Philosopher's Stone and you die" rumor around, but what would be the point of that if the Philosopher's stone is about to be created? And then why order Sloth and Wrath to attack the fleeing civilians of Lior? Dante's motives during those episodes were very confusing to me, so I'm hoping someone here can explain it.

Does anyone know the year of the Ishbal Rebellion? Or when the show takes place?

I'm judging from context...Early twentieth century. But remember, this is an alternate world, so I could be wrong. The rebellion lasted 7 years, if I'm not mistaken, and at the end the Fuhrer deployed the State Alchemists into Ishbal. Considering Winry's parents died during the rebellion, and the brothers were around 6-7 years old at the time, I'm gonna say the Ishbal Rebellion took place just a few years before the 1900s (in Amestris).

@yannathedemonalchemist - ya it said that it was in 1910 and isn't it a coincidinc that King Edward was on the thrown
in England that year????? ya what was the date in ed's watch for anyway????

<Edited the post to prepare the thread for merging. 02/19/07 ~Tombow>

Well, I just don't know. When I saw the episode I just figured he was wearing another pair of shorts so he wouldn't be flashing his privates. I mean just sitting there in his boxers in front of Winry would be pretty intimate and he doesn't seem embarrased at all.

<Edited the post to prepare the thread for merging. 02/19/07 ~Tombow>

clearly a shadow *leaves*
