Well, it was mentioned by Father and/or Pride: said that it's the truth's way of reminding people who get too close to god where their place actually is. Of course Ed refuses it, because Mustang did not willingly partake in human transmutation. It's so good because it's only mentioned by a character that might not be right at all, and dismissed by the protagonist just as fast. It shows that there are things higher than the characters, but it doesn't stop them from trying to find their own truth. It's what the anime's about, anyway.

Perhaps I'm also reading too deep into this, but it also speaks on another level when Riza, if albeit briefly, becomes his eyes for the final battle. Riza's always been characterized as a bit of his lifeline, and she was willing to become anything he needed, but also wouldn't let him lose himself (like with Envy/Lust).

I love how, in the larger scheme of things, Mustang is the protagonist.

@@claudiu6387 The manga expressed that more clearly than the anime and its heartbreaking. Plus, Riza's father literally burdened her with the secrets of flame alchemy on her back, instead of destroying his notes. She couldn't bear someone else creating more flame alchemists. I liken it to learning to build an atom bomb!

I think there's also a parallel to be drawn between him and Bradley. Wraths strength is his ultimate eye, his ability to see weaknesses- the 'fault' in people. While Mustang, as you said, sees the 'good' in everyone despite their faults. That's what makes a leader and why his arc in taking over from Bradley holds significance to me.

What I find interesting is that she was right, it did happen.

It's hard to listen to Riza's suicide confession. Hits deep every time. Though, I do prefer the manga translation where she says her "body will leave this world." Because it has a double meaning to it in that she wants to erase the flame alchemy on her back that "brings insanity to men." In addition to claiming countless lives in Ishval, it plunged her father into madness. And now, it was on the verge of doing the same to Roy. Heavy stuff. Without the colonel, she has no reason to live. Both due to their personal connection, and because his vision to ascend to Fuhrer is their mutual path to atonement and a better future. Without one, that path fails. And there's no reason to continue. This scene heavily enforces that. Without Roy, there would be no vision. And without Riza, there would be no conscience. She keeps him on the straight and narrow in his path to power. If she wasn't there to keep her promise as his conscience and executioner, he'd have murdered Envy. Then, as Scar said, the world would be run by a man controlled by hate. In some ways, I think such a world would be even worse than a world ruled by an apathetic Father. Really, this is a beautiful and layered scene on many levels.

Im gonna rewatch the serie, who's with me.

Theories say that Roy Mustang was the perfect vessel for Father's sin of wrath. Given Roy's nature to protect the ones he loves, the built up rage inside of him, the wrathful eyes he gives to who have gone too far and we see the true glimpse of his fire alchemy against lust and envy, I can see that theory. King Bradley was barely scratching the surface of being wrath. Bradley was a test subject for scientists ever since he was a baby. He doesn't have his own name, and true purpose. King Bradley was just alias given to him once he barely survive the transformation with only one soul in the philosopher stone.

Given what we know about psychology, I can definitely say that Bradley would be a more wrathful individual. He was raised in a situation with zero affection, and it was cut throat.

FMA:B is and will always be in my top five anime. Literally one of the best anime, and best shows in history

Amazing video. While it is never explicitly shown in the manga, it is suggested that he gets his eyesight back in the same way as the anime. At the end of the manga, Dr. Marcoh offers Mustang a philosopher's stone to heal his eyesight under the condition that he helps the Ishvalan people once he becomes fuhrer, and Mustang accepts.

Probably my favorite series - not anime series, just series. I wish I could pick every favorite character or favorite scene but every time I watch it so many start to overwelm me.

He may have lost physical use of those eyes, but Roy did NOT lose those eyes. They still sit in his sockets, as blind as justice.

While I like Roy in Brotherhood, I'm disappointed in the fact that barely anyone even talks about his 2003 counterpart. Which is a shame because I think he's equally if not more complex than Mangahood Roy. Mustang form FMA03 is just such a fascinating character to me and really helps highlight one of the biggest differences between Mangahood and 03: in the first the main characters are heroes, people to look up to - in spite of their past mistakes, they are shown in an unambiguously positive light (it’s even more prevalent in BH than in the manga itself though), whereas in the latter... they’re not. In 03 our main characters aren’t what you’d describe as “heroes”, they’re flawed, messed up people forced to make tough, messed up choices - you’re not supposed to emulate them, but rather learn from their mistakes. In 03 Roy clearly suffers from both PTSD and depression, as well as implied alcoholism. He hates himself and believes that “the end justifies the means” - so long as he eventually becomes the Fuhrer, he’ll be able to atone for his sins, which is why he has no problem using others for his own gain, why he doesn’t try to avenge Hughes or why doesn’t really work against even after being ordered to basically kill the Elrics. There’s a problem with Roy’s viewpoint however and that is: the system is already corrupt beyond salvation - even if Roy were to become the Fuhrer, he can’t change the rules if he’s forced to obey by them at the same time. People say that in 03 Mustang eventually chooses revenge over his goal, the opposite of what happens in mangahood, but it’s simply not true - by the end of 03 Roy is finally forced to face the truth - that end DOESN’T justify the means, that he can’t let Bradley’s actions go unpunished, that in order to create a better future for Amestris, he has to destroy the system, even if that costs him his dream. And that’s another important thing - if Roy were to keep quiet and wait, he’d have to admit to himself that his goal of becoming the Fuhrer is a selfish one. That he’s doing it for himself and not the country. He’s forced to choose between doing what’s right and getting what he wants, or rather, BELIEVES he wants. Because if you think about it, 03 Roy doesn’t actually desire to rule, to make the decisions for a whole country - what he wants is redemption, to justify his next breath, as he tells Hughes. And that’s another big theme: characters getting what they need, but not necessarily what they want - Roy cannot bring Winry’s parents back or undo the Ishbal Massacre, but by killing Bradley he’s finally able to atone for being blind for so long, for following unreasonable orders. This is his redemption. In 03 Roy & Ed act as foils to one another. They both start out as blind idealists (there was no Order 3066 in 03, so Roy fooling himself into believing that it was a just war is far easier), slowly become disillusioned with the world and especially the military, but still use it to further their own goals with little regard for the outside world (Ed’s often overlooked greatest sin - sloth), only to eventually admit that there are more important things than one’s dreams (ep 48). At the beginning Roy sees Ed as nothing more than a potential tool, but once he realizes the similarities he starts to act as a semi father figure to him. The problem, of course, being that Roy is a broken man himself and more of a cautionary tale of what Ed can become (there’s a reason Ed drinks himself to sleep in CoS after a fight with Heidrich) - Roy tries to simultaneously protect Ed’s innocence (Liore, Hughes) and prepare him for the grim reality (Nina, Tucker’s research) because, while he doesn’t want Ed to become him, he has no idea how to go about it - should he destroy Ed’s naive idealism or try to protect him? In the end, Mustang’s actions only serve to distance the two characters, until the very end - and isn’t it just so poetic that the first time they come to an understanding is also their farewell?

I really appreciate this comment, because I totally agree with it. Roy is my favorite character in both series, and people really don't talk about his role in 2003 enough. He's trying to be a good person in that series to, and his character and arc are so complex and interesting

Roy Mustang is my favourite anime character EVER. Since I first saw him in Fullmetal alchemist all those years ago..I was so amazed. This is a amazing and glorious character. Absolutely fantastic

"On that day, all female officers will be required to wear *TINY MINISKIRT* !!"

Here's something I love about Fullmetal Alchemist: I'm looking through the comments and I haven't seen anybody repeating information. In many other pieces of media or character analyses, there are like one or two prices of trivia that everybody points out. Here, everyone has something different to say and I think that really speaks to the depth of Fullmetal Alchemist

I consider Roy Mustang one of my very perfect anime characters list along with Kakashi, Itachi and Spike Spiegel Great character writing-brilliant mentality-strength-skills-especially sacrifice ❤️

FMAB is probably my fav anime series but i'm disappointed with how much they left out about the Ishvalen war. They were really good at keeping most other stuff so im not sure why they cut so much out for that part

6:03: Roy actually did get his eyesight back in the manga, because Tim Marcoh offered him the means to heal it if Mustang returned the Ishvalans to their homes and allowed the good doctor to move there as a healer; an offer in which the Colonel accepted.

this series is one my favourites

Roy mustang is my favorite fictional character so thank you for creating this great analysis. Your insights and narration are wonderful and a pleasure to listen too.

Holly Molly I was just watching FMAB afew afew moments ago

Sometimes one just wants to watch a series because of one character, with me it's Roy

I JUST finished this show RIGHT NOW!

I am someone who felt... Weird when Roy was given his sight back. It felt cheap, almost like the sacrifice meant less. But Sage put it so eloquently, that I can't help but shift my opinion. The initial impact of the sacrifice of his eyes isn't lessened, but the consequences of that decision are. Nevertheless, Roy should be able to see his accomplishments. Because they aren't just his, they're his teams. Some may say that it's selfish, or morally wrong to have used the stone crafted using the souls of the Ishval. No doubt. But it's also an imperfect bow that wraps around the oblong gift. Roy Mustang isn't one man. He is one imperfect piece, that matches the rest of the picture that is his team.

I also think it goes back to the logic that Al was told when he was convinced to use one. That they're already gone, but can be used by someone who respects them, and puts their sacrifice to use, and does some good. In addition, Mustang didn't willingly see the Gate. Had he done so of his own volition, that would be different.

Scar also snapped Roy out of his irrationality, because like him he also killed blindly and was cursed by it. Scar broke the cycle of hatred and didn't want Roy to go down the same path he did. Roy Mustang somehow reminds me of Hashirama Senju from Naruto in the way that he cares for others as a leader whereas Wrath or Fuhrer Bradley is more like Madara Uchiha in how he only focuses on himself and his own goals and ambitions, never once considering other people or other nations.
