Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood – Episode 61 Review

Episode 61, "One Who Devours God"

*****SPOILERS*****

Synopsis: Father’s sacrifices awaken. Father, now in a body resembling Hohenheim when he was much younger, claims that he has absorbed God by using the souls of the people of Amestris. However, Hohenheim explains that he has made a transmutation circle of his own using parts of his Philosopher’s Stone that is connected by the shadow of the eclipse. The array causes the souls of Amestris to leave Father and be guided back to their bodies by the souls from Xerxes. Father blasts energy at the group, but Hohenheim and May block it. Wrath and Scar continue their battle, but when Wrath is blinded by light for a moment, Scar destroys his arms. Ranfan arrives and Wrath has a few last words before he dies. Scar activates the giant reverse array his brother came up with which reverses Father’s deactivation of alchemy. It turns out that Father had made a buffer zone out of Philosopher’s Stones and without it, alchemists can now control more power in their alchemy with no fear of Father deactivating it. Ed, Al, and Izumi attack Father, and are joined by Greed. Father decides to retreat to obtain more Philosopher Stone. Everyone follows, except Edward, who stays to fight Pride. Pride tries to take over Ed’s body, but Kimbley, from within him, won’t allow it. Edward destroys Pride’s container and Pride reverts to a very small baby. Edward leaves to join the others. read more
