![]() ![]() In the manga and 2009 anime, the Homunculi are the eight primary villainous forces of the series. The first seven Homunculi created by Father. The seven key Homunculi created in the series are referred to as the " Sins". The Homunculi's eyes do appear to glow red sometimes, however whether this a trait they share or just used for dramatic effect is unknown. The first Greed, Envy, and Pride's eyes are shades of purple, Lust and Lingreed are red-violet, Wrath is blue-green, and Sloth and Gluttony have small, blank, white eyes. In the manga, Arakawa mostly depicted the Homunculi's eyes as purple, but in the 2009 anime the homunculi have different eye colors. They are named after the seven deadly sins: Pride, Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Wrath, Sloth, and Envy. The Homunculi created by Father (with the sole exception of Pride) carry the mark of the Ouroboros upon their bodies and are identified as such by said mark. In the most relevant sense of the word, "Homunculus" refers to the eight individuals who make up the primary antagonistic force of the Fullmetal Alchemist series. However, off the official record, not only one but several of these creatures have been created in arcane, sinister secrecy. Even so, alchemists have been forbidden by the Amestrian government to attempt or research the transmutation of humans and State Alchemists have such a restriction as part of their creed. Though a common concept, well known and understood by alchemists in Amestris, the idea of the Homunculus is regarded as no more than a farce or faraway fantasy as no individual or group of alchemists has come anywhere close to successfully creating such a being in officially recorded history. In the series the official definition of a Homunculus is “Any human that was created or re-created by any Alchemy, Alkahestry, Grand Arcanum, and any other form of Alchemy.” ![]() The correct Latin pronunciation of "Homunculus" is "ho-MOON-cool-ooss" (every "U" is pronounced the same way) the plural "Homunculi" is pronounced "ho-MUN-cool-ee". For the manga and 2009 anime storyline antagonist who went by this name, see Father.Ī Homunculus ( 人造人間 ( ホムンクルス ), Homunkurusu, Latin for "Little Human", Japanese for "Artificial Human") refers to the medieval legendary concept of an artificially created human, presumably brought into existence by certain means of alchemy. And that's the basic message of the original series.This article is about the artificial humans named after the Seven Deadly Sins or created by the military. This pulls a lot of different elements from the original series, and while it will never have the emotional through line granted by the extra time for development in the original series, the film's ending does have its intended effect of establish Edward as a good person who won't stoop to the lowest of the low in order to gain what he wants. When he enters the Gate once more, he sees Alphonse's frail body. Then he offers it to Ed (rather than Ling Yao) to restore he and Al's bodies. When Mustang kills Lust, he pulls her Philosopher's Stone out of her chest rather than destroying it. Then General Hakuro activates a machine in Lab 5 and releases an army of white, soulless alchemy beasts. When Edward discovers that human sacrifice is necessary for a Philosopher's stone, Tucker reappears to argue that he an Ed are the same, but he is killed by Lust (rather than by Scar as he is in the original series). Taking cues from different places in the manga, the film has Shou Tucker leading the final events of Lab 5. The live-action film comes to close in an original fashion. Warning! Major Spoilers For The Fullmetal Alchemist Film! The film's great looking CG helps emphasized how disfigured the new chimera is, and thus hits that much harder when it's not an animated or drawing of a person becoming a monster. In the film, this happens in exactly the same fashion and is just as much of a bummer as it is in the original series. This one can talk, and when Edward introduces himself to it, it says "Play with me Edward!" Suddenly, Edward realizes that Tucker had transmuted his daughter and pet dog into a chimera, and has even done the same to his wife in the past. Later, he shows Edward a new chimera he's created. He's famous in the military for experimenting with talking chimeras and is stressed that his latest evaluation is coming up and he doesn't have anything to present. In the anime and manga series, there's a state alchemist named Shou Tucker who has a young daughter named Nina and a dog named Alexander. ![]() Of course, the live-action film also adapts the series' darkest moment.
