Just when I thought transmuting a spoon into gold was peak alchemy, Fullmetal Alchemist throws us a curveball by diving deep into whether alchemy itself can cross the moral boundary. Its like were back at the Gate of Truth, but this time, the questions are more about ethics than equivalent exchange.
In a lighter vein, can we talk about how Edward would probably try to transmute his homework if it meant more time for adventures? Classic Ed, always looking for shortcuts even in ethics.
This brings us to the meat of it if alchemy can potentially transcend morality, what does this mean for our duo and the world of Amestris? It’s a Pandoras Box that could redefine the limits of whats considered right and wrong in the world of alchemy. Could this lead to a future where alchemys rules are rewritten, blurring the lines between whats possible and whats permissible?
Im theorizing that this could be setting the stage for a clash not just between alchemists but ideologies, with the Elric brothers smack in the middle of it all. Are we witnessing the groundwork for a new form of alchemy, untethered by the moral and ethical dilemmas that have so far constrained it?
Im stoked to see where this goes and am eagerly awaiting the next philosophers stone of wisdom the series throws at us. Heres to hoping it doesnt require any human sacrifices. What do you guys think? Will our heroes find a way to navigate this moral minefield, or will they be forced to confront some uncomfortable truths about the power they wield? Lets hear those theories.
