1) What happened to Gluttony and Lyra?

2) Why is it that the evil commander is still alive + robotic part after the forging of the philosopher stone. I thought he was dead among all the other people.

3) Is Dante a good person or a bad one? She is the teacher of Izumi but then I saw she was the leader of the creatures from hell.

4) I didn't really understand why Edward's father couldn't come back to the alchemist's world where Edward still could.

5) Why does Envy hate Edward's father so much?

6) What's the meaning of the green dragon in the last chapter?

7) Why didn't Edward get his hand and leg back at the end?

8) Which one is true? Getting a thing requires something (Edward), or the getting something doesn't require anything (father).

9) Why did Scar kill Nina-dog?

10) So it is true that when one dies, he can never be revived, unless his soul is still there and unless you use the stone. This is how Alphonse revived Edward. So why could Edward revive his brother again? This means Alphonse was never dead???

11) Those hellish creatures, are they just the people from the other world?
I don't understand why Edward keeps saying they don't have souls, if they don't have souls, then what do they have? They certainly have bodies and even memories from people from the alchemist's world.

12) I don't understand a thing from the triangle: Wrath - Edward - Izumi

Tell me where I'm wrong:
Izumi had a dead baby, tried to revive it and received an ugly baby? Is that ugly baby = wrath? Izumi gave her intestins and received wrath. Then she gave wrath back to the other world and then Edward tried to revive his mother and the ugly baby who has legs and arms stole Edwards leg and arm.
I don't understand what happened to the ugly baby. That ugly baby had arms and legs, how could it then steal another leg and another arm from Edward?

13) At the end of the series, Edward's father says something about, when you perform alchemist's things, you have to use energy from the other world in return, what does that mean?

14) Is there anything in the manga that says where the skeleton of Gluttony and Envy is and how did they come to this world?

15) What's with this baby being the portal and all? I even didn't remember when that baby was born...

16) Why was Lust suddenly pinned to the wall by the evil leader, and how??? She didn't have her skeleton.

17) Why did the evil general know that there was a skull in that case? And who hid it? He couldn't possibly put it there himself because he wouldn't be able to move. And if he knew that skull was in there, why did he give it to that kid? Absurd.
BTW, who is that skull from? The general? This can't be because it's the evil general who killed the good one. The evil general already existed when the good general was still alive. So who summoned the evil general and who is this skull from? Ok, I'm really, really confused now.

18) Did you find the ending sad? I did. By the way this is the best anime I've ever seen. So, do the brothers get back after all in the manga?

the other (non-alchemic) world.

1) Did the fact that gluttony all beserk when he was encountered in the movie imply that Dante was dead, and Gluttony was there in the cave all that time?
2) Why was the lady insane again? She's really bugging me now that I forget most of the movie.

And I didn't understand:

1) the dragon = envy. Why suddenly?
2) what was Alphonse doing to Gluttony and Wrath?
3) Why did the portal open at the moment when dad died?
4) The beginning of the movie is just not understandable, what's that orb?
5) Those robots coming out of the ground, were they manned or unmanned? If they were manned, how come one of them was unmanned => Alphonse.
6) Being able to use alchemy in that world. How is this possible?
7) Izumi, is she dead already?
8) So you say: to cross to the other world, both portals have to be open. Who opened the portal then when the father and Edward crossed over? Because only Edward and father can open the portal in the other world. There couldn't be anyone in the other world opening the door for father to cross over...
And in the anime, Edward suddenly came back to the alchemist's world, without even opening a portal.

1> Envy transformed into the dragon near the end of anime series (episode 50 or 51) when he crossed over the gate. As to how he did it, I have no idea...
2> Alphonse used them as the sacrifice to open the gate.
3> Because Hohenheim used himself as the sacrifice to open the gate, along with Alphonse using Wrath and Gluttony.
4> An explosive device created by that crazy physicist.
5> Plot hole? I think they're supposed to be manned.
6> No idea.
7> Yep, she's dead.
8> No idea. Maybe more plot holes?

Envy's power is shapeshifting- that's how he transformed into the dragon. I have no idea why, but in general, the Leviathan (the actual name for what Envy transformed into) is the mythical creature that represents the deadly sin of Envy. So that's the link; why it was used is a mystery to me. I think as pretty much the head of the Homunculi (bar Dante obviously) he deserved a better death than the one he got... i mean Pride's death was really drawn out, and he wasn't even known as a villain until ep 40

I blame it on the fact they killed most of the main characters too early... Dante and Lust for example should definately have been in the movie. (Yes, I know Lust from the "real world" was in the movie sat next to Scar at the end of the movie, but as far as i'm concerned, that's not Lust

Who is Pride? I can't find him in my FMA book. Is Pride = Dante? I have all characters in that book: gluttony, lust, envy, wrath, greed, sloth but can't find pride. Normally it should include all 7 sins...

Didn't know Leviathan was representing envy, thanks for that info.

Another question: in the anime they never mentioned you had to sacrifice someone to open the gate, or I didn't remember it. Lyra just touched the baby's head and the door opened. I think the baby represents death and birth meaning reincarnation. Also the portal seems like a door to the afterlife or something, Izumi says it's hell, but it could also be heaven.

In theory to open the gate we saw Alphonse, Izumi's baby and that other baby being sacrificed. I don't remember if rose's baby was really sacrificed, the end went too fast for me.

was the Fuhrer that always hung out with Sloth.
7 deadly sins: Pride, Lust, Envy, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, Wrath

Those two bastard brother got to live together and left Winry alone in the Alchemy world.

belonged in the alchemic world.

Yeah, Summmonmaster is right- Pride is the Fuhrer... he has an Ouroborus on his right eye (that he always keeps a patch over). Dante, on the other hand is Pride's creator.

Right.... with the whole baby and the Gate: first remember that Lyra= Dante. Lyra died shortly before Greed when Dante stole her body. The gate can be summoned either by sacrificing a human or homunculus using the right transmutation circle (eg. see Wrath and Gluttony's death) , by attempting human transmutation, or by using an infant with the correct transmutation circle. The reason it works with an baby is because their mind, body and soul are still connected. If you watch any time the baby is used to summon the gate, the circle appears on it's chest. I agree with your theory about the baby representing life and death. Dante confirms this too I think in her confrontation with Ed "....It's doing all a baby can do to survive- breathing, crying for help... but what does it get in return? Was the baby born only so that it could die?"

Rose's baby wasn't sacrificed- it is in the film, but I am unsure whether or not it died then in the end... it's really bugging me so i think i may go and watch that scene again now...

Yeah, who wouldn't want to live in an alchemic world... The other world, our world looks so boring.
To accentuate that, they even "bleached" the colours. Seeing that engineering world with fire engines and stuff, I just can't get into that although I'm becoming an engineer next year. There is some affinity in spirit between me and Full Metal Alchemist though.

Hughes #2, for lack of a better term, was quite a bit different from his original, at least after the initial encounter with him. Rose's counterpart played a surprisingly significant role, and it was cool seeing Pride (although his original was truly a son of a bitch), Scar, Lust, and a few others whose names escape me.

While I agree that Ed and Al's reunion was a bit lacking, I thought it was pretty appropriate. Neither one of them were particular crybabies, but the scene where the suit of armor with part of Al's soul attached to it started speaking was pretty touching.

In the end, I'm glad Al went through the gate and ended up with Ed, even though it sorta comes off as a little too-close-for-brotherly-love. "I want to be by your side from now on, Brother." Or something to that extent.

there was a little too much brotherly love going on

they lacked a lot of crying when they reunited but I think it is because earlier before Ed went through the gate, Al's soul was still transferred in the suit of armor and it talked to Ed and that kinda umm... mean they "met"??? haha

Gluttony was changed by Dante/Lyra. He kept asking for Lust, and she put pressure on his Oroborus--which was on his tongue. So, he became a mindless little bugger.

Edward didn't get his arm and leg back because HUMAN TRANSMUTATION IS WRONG! :) Anyway, that's why--no transmutation.

Wrath is the homunculus created when Izumi tried to bring back her baby. Because he was so deformed, she returned him back to the gate. So, when Edward did his transmutation of his mother, Wrath was there waiting for the arm and leg.

Alphonse didn't die because Edward was able to save his soul and keep it in his world by the blood mark using Ed's blood. His body went into the gate.

The reason Homunculi don't have souls is because you can't transmute them. The human body is made up of different compounds, which they are checking off a list at the beginning of the transmutation of their mom.

I can't remember why Hohenheim couldn't return to the alchemic world. I think it had to do with his body wasting away. As for why Envy hated him....Well, he IS Edward's brother, you know. That's right, Envy is the homunculus that resulted when Hohenheim tried to bring THAT child back. And guess who was there to help? Dante!

If you remember, Winry accused Ed and Al of never crying--never shedding a tear. Plus, they are boys, you know. They don't cry--although I think Ed was crying when Al's soul had to leave. It sounded like it to me.
