**[00:01] ---**
The sun is a he. It represents masculinity.
**[00:05] ---**
The moon is a she. It represents femininity.
**[00:08] ---**
When the sun and the moon intersect,
**[00:11] ---**
it means both genders in one.
**[00:13] ---**
In other words, it represents a perfect being.
**[00:17] ---**
I wonder if by perfect being,
it means immortality.
**[00:20] ---**
Hmm, or something even more incredible?
**[00:24] ---**
Even more incredible?
**[00:25] ---**
Like, say, God, or something.
**[00:33] ---**
Yes, come to me!
**[00:36] ---**
I will continue to be bound by you no longer!
**[00:40] ---**
I shall drag you down to the earth,
and make you a part of me!
**[01:40] ---**
Is everyone all right? What happened?
**[01:43] ---**
Well done, my sacrifices.
**[01:52] ---**
You actually did it!
**[01:54] ---**
Yeah. I have acquired... God.
**[01:58] ---**
God?! How can that be?
**[02:01] ---**
It's possible, given a large
enough amount of energy.
**[02:06] ---**
Energy... a Philosopher's Stone?!
**[02:10] ---**
It can't be...
**[02:11] ---**
You mean, everyone was turned
into a Philosopher's Stone?!
**[02:14] ---**
Just how many people were sacrificed...?
**[02:18] ---**
The population of this country is about 50 million.
**[02:30] ---**
You bastard!
**[02:34] ---**
Damn!
**[02:35] ---**
Your alchemy is bound.
**[02:38] ---**
Farewell, gentlemen.
**[02:41] ---**
What are you doing?
**[02:43] ---**
Now that I have obtained God,
**[02:46] ---**
it is even possible for me to create
suns in the palm of my hand.
**[02:56] ---**
Shall I turn it loose in here?
**[03:04] ---**
From the moment that you
obtained God, or whatever,
**[03:07] ---**
we had already started turning the tables on you.
**[03:16] ---**
Over many long years,
I calculated, and calculated,
**[03:21] ---**
arranging the Philosopher's Stones--
the friends inside me--
**[03:26] ---**
in preparation for this day.
**[03:35] ---**
The time has come.
**[03:37] ---**
He has done that which must not be done.
**[03:42] ---**
There are no longer bodies for us to return to.
**[03:45] ---**
However, the people of Amestris
do have bodies to go back to.
**[03:50] ---**
Yes. Let's return their souls back to their bodies.
**[03:56] ---**
It is what Hohenheim asked of us.
**[04:00] ---**
You just drove in Philosopher's Stones?
But they are merely points.
**[04:05] ---**
Without a circle, they will not activate.
**[04:08] ---**
That is a fundamental of alchemy.
**[04:10] ---**
But we *do* have a circle.
Something with such enormous power,
**[04:15] ---**
it would activate on its own, even if
something were to happen to me!
**[04:24] ---**
The shadow of the moon,
cast upon the earth by the eclipse!
**[04:28] ---**
We're going on ahead, Hohenheim.
**[04:38] ---**
You would block me,
no matter what, Hohenheim?!
**[04:42] ---**
That is the reason I came here,
Dwarf in the Flask, Homunculus!
**[06:04] ---**
*The days going by are getting in the way*
**[06:11] ---**
*of the new morning I'd found at last*
**[06:15] ---**
*It wasn't "next" that I was headed toward,*
**[06:15] ---**
Winry, are you all right?
**[06:18] ---**
What was that just now?
**[06:20] ---**
*but "bygone" that I was always chasing after*
**[06:21] ---**
Did we all lose consciousness?
**[06:25] ---**
Ms. Pinako, you, too?
**[06:25] ---**
*My incessant, merciless memories*
**[06:26] ---**
So it would seem.
**[06:28] ---**
But that was...
**[06:30] ---**
*don't seem likely to forgive me*
**[06:31] ---**
How would you even describe it? It was like...
**[06:35] ---**
It felt like we were inside a vortex of anguish.
**[06:36] ---**
*It may not be long before my turmoil spills out*
**[06:40] ---**
*down cheeks wearied by my fumbling about*
**[06:43] ---**
Did it work?
**[06:44] ---**
The souls of the people of Amestris
**[06:45] ---**
*Will the rain ever stop?*
**[06:47] ---**
have each returned to their own bodies.
**[06:50] ---**
And with just the souls of the
Xerxesians that he already had,
**[06:50] ---**
*I've been cold for such a long time*
**[06:54] ---**
I doubt he can keep what
he calls God suppressed.
**[06:55] ---**
*Why does the rain choose me?*
**[07:01] ---**
*Can I wrap myself up in it?*
**[07:03] ---**
I can always create another Philosopher's Stone.
**[07:05] ---**
*The rain is unrelenting,*
**[07:06] ---**
Using a hundred million, or even a billion!
**[07:09] ---**
There is no shortage of
the energy that humans are!
**[07:10] ---**
*and it's still coming down today,*
**[07:15] ---**
*but tenderly, under an extended umbrella,*
**[07:21] ---**
*we share our warmth as we huddle close*
**[07:29] ---**
May!
**[07:30] ---**
Reading the flow of power in the ground,
**[07:32] ---**
and making use of it, is an
alkahestrist's stock in trade.
**[07:35] ---**
What's more, the greater
the power the other side has,
**[07:38] ---**
the greater the power that I can use becomes.
**[07:42] ---**
Mister, dead ahead!
**[07:51] ---**
Damn. I don't have what it
takes to cancel out his energy!
**[07:57] ---**
Please hang in there, mister.
My defensive array is crumbling!
**[08:05] ---**
It's no use!
**[08:08] ---**
Dad, hang in there!
**[08:10] ---**
Come on, you bastard! Stay focused!
**[08:15] ---**
What can I say? I'm just a foolish old man,
**[08:20] ---**
but now I want to show off what I've got!
**[08:25] ---**
If this doesn't end soon,
**[08:26] ---**
the Philosopher's Stone inside Dad will run out!
**[08:30] ---**
Aren't you done yet, Scar?!
**[08:33] ---**
Ishvalan!
**[08:35] ---**
I thought that alchemy--
the construction of matter--
**[08:38] ---**
was blasphemy against Ishvala,
the creator of all things!
**[08:49] ---**
Have you abandoned your god?
**[08:55] ---**
Is that all that your god...
**[09:01] ---**
...is to you people?
**[09:05] ---**
Nay!
**[09:08] ---**
During the Ishvalan Civil War...
**[09:14] ---**
...when you were steeped in despair...
**[09:21] ---**
...you must have thought,
somewhere in your heart,
**[09:25] ---**
that there was no god, anywhere in this world!
**[10:05] ---**
I never believed in fate, or God...
**[10:08] ---**
...but I suppose it can be said of this
**[10:10] ---**
that Providence has taken no favor with me.
**[10:21] ---**
The heavens have sent me
a rather dashing visitor.
**[10:27] ---**
Here to avenge your grandfather? Very well.
**[10:32] ---**
Any last words?
**[10:34] ---**
None.
**[10:36] ---**
Such a sad life, King Bradley.
Was there no one that you loved?
**[10:43] ---**
Your friends? Your wife?
**[10:47] ---**
My wife?
**[10:48] ---**
Are you saying you have nothing to say to her?!
**[10:51] ---**
When she finds out that you are a Homunculus...
**[10:54] ---**
Do not befoul yourself with such trivial words
**[10:56] ---**
as "sad" and "love," young lady.
**[11:00] ---**
Do not mock me. She is the woman that I chose.
**[11:06] ---**
There is no need for any last words between us.
**[11:10] ---**
That is what it is to be the wife of a king.
**[11:18] ---**
While engaging yourself in pointless questions,
**[11:20] ---**
you've missed your chance
at vengeance, young lady.
**[11:31] ---**
My life was lived on the rails
that were laid down for me,
**[11:36] ---**
but thanks to you humans,
it was, to some degree,
**[11:42] ---**
a good life, one worth living.
**[11:59] ---**
I'm sensing life.
**[12:02] ---**
It's a Philosopher's Stone.
**[12:05] ---**
This?
**[12:09] ---**
Are you all right?
**[12:12] ---**
Take me over there.
**[12:15] ---**
The transmutation circle is broken.
**[12:19] ---**
No matter! Over there is where the center is.
**[12:23] ---**
All right.
**[12:31] ---**
*Brother...*
**[12:33] ---**
*To tell you the truth,
the hatred inside me is not gone.*
**[12:37] ---**
*And yet, I am about to help Amestris,
the object of my hatred.*
**[12:44] ---**
*Brother, you spoke of positive streams,
and negative streams,*
**[12:48] ---**
*but as I paradoxically carry both of them...*
**[12:55] ---**
*...I wonder which way I will flow.*
**[13:13] ---**
Here it comes!
**[13:28] ---**
Take that! The seat that you so
arrogantly recline on is rubble!
**[13:35] ---**
You've been so self-indulgent, you bastard.
**[13:39] ---**
I'm gonna kick your ass,
right along with that damn truth!
**[13:50] ---**
Was that alkahestry just now?
**[13:53] ---**
No, it's what my brother came up with.
**[13:58] ---**
My brother researched alchemy.
**[14:01] ---**
As he expanded beyond it,
he began to research alkahestry, too.
**[14:07] ---**
Alkahestry is an art that uses
the flow of chi through the earth.
**[14:12] ---**
The alchemy of this country uses tectonic energy.
**[14:17] ---**
However, my brother realized something.
**[14:20] ---**
Alchemists weren't able to use it to full measure.
**[14:26] ---**
There was an inhibiting component
**[14:28] ---**
between the alchemist and the tectonic energy.
**[14:31] ---**
I felt it when I entered this country.
**[14:34] ---**
A sensation, like people were
crawling around under the ground.
**[14:38] ---**
Yes. That was probably the Philosopher's Stone
**[14:42] ---**
that stretches out underground
throughout the land.
**[14:46] ---**
Take that! And that!
**[14:55] ---**
Mister,
**[14:56] ---**
you created a transmutation circle
that returned everyone's souls?
**[14:59] ---**
Yeah. And it worked.
**[15:03] ---**
The reverse transmutation circle,
which Scar activated,
**[15:06] ---**
is there to correct the alchemy of this country.
**[15:10] ---**
After all of Scar's brother's long research,
**[15:13] ---**
he was skeptical about this country's alchemy,
**[15:16] ---**
and went on to discover the existence
**[15:18] ---**
of the nationwide transmutation circle.
**[15:21] ---**
And so, using it as a base,
he superscribed it in alkahestry,
**[15:25] ---**
and developed a reverse transmutation circle
**[15:28] ---**
that would render the
Philosopher's Stone ineffective.
**[15:31] ---**
Now, we can use the tectonic energy
**[15:33] ---**
inhibited by the Philosopher's
Stone to its full extent.
**[15:47] ---**
Keep pouring it on! Make him
use his Philosopher's Stone!
**[15:52] ---**
At some point, he will run out of energy!
**[15:54] ---**
At some point like when?!
**[15:56] ---**
I don't know! I don't know,
but you have to keep it up!
**[15:59] ---**
Take this!
**[16:12] ---**
That takes me back. If it isn't
the tub I took a bath in earlier!
**[16:16] ---**
You have one, too, Daddy, sir.
**[16:20] ---**
Move it, Greed!
**[16:36] ---**
Don't move!
**[16:38] ---**
Take it nice and easy.
**[16:43] ---**
Lieutenant Hawkeye?
**[16:45] ---**
Major...
**[16:51] ---**
W-What the...?
**[16:59] ---**
That rat. He went to go
make a Philosopher's Stone.
**[17:08] ---**
--After him!
--Right!
**[17:10] ---**
And we'll get you to a safe place while we're at it.
**[17:13] ---**
Sorry. I didn't expect to be so
useless at such a critical time.
**[17:17] ---**
Brother!
**[17:19] ---**
Al! Go on ahead!
**[17:22] ---**
He appears to want something with me.
**[17:29] ---**
Al, let's go!
**[17:31] ---**
Don't you let yourself get beaten, Ed!
**[17:33] ---**
Right!
**[17:40] ---**
Dear!
**[17:42] ---**
Izumi!
**[17:45] ---**
This is no time to relax. Look after the colonel.
**[17:48] ---**
Right.
**[17:50] ---**
Colonel!
**[17:52] ---**
There's someone up there that
we have to eliminate, so we're off.
**[17:57] ---**
Are you injured, Colonel?
**[17:59] ---**
My eyes have had it.
**[18:02] ---**
Lieutenant, what is the status of your injuries?
**[18:06] ---**
You're doing it again! Please,
worry about yourself. Your eyes...
**[18:11] ---**
Can you still fight?
**[18:18] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[18:27] ---**
--Young Lord!
--It's Greed.
**[18:30] ---**
Sheesh, you tagged along all the way here?
**[18:35] ---**
Wrath...
**[18:38] ---**
Oh... He's dead.
**[18:44] ---**
He looks so content. Pisses me off.
**[18:49] ---**
Greed, it's pathetic that you
would throw away your honor...
**[18:53] ---**
...as a Homunculus.
**[18:54] ---**
Why are you guys so obedient
to that father of yours?
**[18:59] ---**
What a senseless question to ask.
**[19:02] ---**
It's only natural that we would
obey our own father, isn't it?
**[19:05] ---**
Ha! You're the one who's senseless.
**[19:09] ---**
Only natural, you say?
You're just a mind-numbed punk
**[19:12] ---**
who doesn't try to think for himself!
**[19:17] ---**
I don't get it. Why are you his willing lapdog?
**[19:23] ---**
You've been worn as ragged as
you are, and you don't even care.
**[19:31] ---**
So what? Please don't go applying
**[19:36] ---**
your human sensibilities onto us Homunculi!
**[19:47] ---**
This container won't last much longer.
**[19:50] ---**
However, since you, like my father,
are of Hohenheim's blood,
**[19:55] ---**
we are virtually brothers.
**[19:58] ---**
Edward Elric, give your container--
your body-- to me!
**[20:04] ---**
W-What?!
**[20:10] ---**
You cannot have it.
**[20:12] ---**
Indeed, you cannot have it, Homunculus Pride.
**[20:16] ---**
Kimblee! It can't be!
**[20:19] ---**
There's no way you could
maintain your individuality
**[20:22] ---**
among this tempest of souls!
**[20:24] ---**
Tempest? Please, don't make me laugh.
**[20:28] ---**
These voices of bitterness are like a lullaby to me.
**[20:34] ---**
Why are you interfering, Kimblee?!
**[20:37] ---**
Yes, well, if you had kept your honor
as a Homunculus as you fought,
**[20:42] ---**
I would have done nothing.
**[20:45] ---**
You speak of your pride,
or honor, as a Homunculus,
**[20:49] ---**
but the moment any danger befalls you,
**[20:52] ---**
you try to escape into the container of a human,
**[20:55] ---**
the lower life form that
you look down your nose at.
**[20:58] ---**
Quite unsightly of you.
**[21:10] ---**
*He's going to kill me!*
**[21:12] ---**
You do not understand Edward Elric.
**[21:23] ---**
Selim!!
**[21:26] ---**
Impossible... He's turned himself
into a Philosopher's Stone,
**[21:29] ---**
and now *he's* forcing his way inside *me*?!
**[21:34] ---**
I've caught you, Selim!
**[21:36] ---**
Stop...
**[21:40] ---**
Stop!
**[21:42] ---**
Please stop!!
**[22:05] ---**
So that's your real body, huh?
**[22:09] ---**
Once this is all over, I'll have to
go apologize to Mrs. Bradley.
**[22:15] ---**
You wait right there, Selim, you fool.
**[22:23] ---**
Mama... Mama...
**[22:40] ---**
*Ever since that day,*
**[22:44] ---**
*I had made up my mind not to cry*
**[22:48] ---**
*Though the pain kept coming,*
**[22:54] ---**
*there was something I couldn't forgive*
**[23:00] ---**
*There's no going back after all these days*
**[23:05] ---**
*There's still nothing I can do*
**[23:09] ---**
*I'm losing yet another fragment*
**[23:15] ---**
*of my memories of you*
**[23:21] ---**
*I want to be stronger than I am today*
**[23:26] ---**
*so that my voice may someday reach you*
**[23:32] ---**
*I'll keep walking, and when the wind lets up,*
**[23:37] ---**
*I'll gaze up into the sky, searching for you*
**[23:42] ---**
*The light will shine after the day breaks*
**[23:50] ---**
*and there will be a rainbow*
**[23:58] ---**
*The strong arm roars; the flame thunders forth.*
**[24:01] ---**
*Staking their existence,
the people give their full measure!*
**[24:06] ---**
*Yes! The final battle is now here!*
**[24:11] ---**
*Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
Fullmetal Alchemist,*
**[24:15] ---**
*Episode 62: "A Fierce Counterattack."*
**[24:20] ---**
*In order to obtain anything,*
**[24:22] ---**
*something of equal value is required.*
