Alchemists as a whole, we really are horrible creatures, aren't we? There's a side of me that's desperately trying to crack the theories of Human Transmutation right now. I think I understand what drove those boys when they tried to... bring back their mother.
That's the big question. But Hughes... I'd say he deserves an answer. Once I'm transferred to Central... I'm gonna start shaking things up until I find one.
There's no difference between the two. I will become the Fuhrer of this country AND I will take vengeance for Hughes. I'll do these things because I have to do them. I'm going after the senior staff. Are you with me, Lieutenant?
Apparently this guy lives deep in the mountains because he can find the highest quality ore way out here, are you absolutely sure were going in the right direction? Cause these engineers could have tricked us.
Uh? How else should I describe it? This is the birth of a new life! Alchemists have worked for centuries and we're still not able to do that! A person creating another person!
You two are on your own. This is your introductory training... If you do well, we'll move on to the main training phase... During this first stage, the use of alchemy is totally forbidden. "One is all... and all is one..." You have one month figure out what that means. You'd better find the answer in the allotted time... If not, you're headed back to Risembool. Bye.
Hey, Brother, have you figured out what Teacher meant by "One is All and All is One"? I've been thinking about it this whole time, but I still only have a few vague ideas.
Mm. I sure did, and boy, did they taste nasty. But then, that got me thinking. If I hadn't eaten them, I might've died. Then I would've been eaten by them. I'd go into the earth and become grass, then the rabbits would eat that.
Yeah, but... not just that, either. Long time ago, this whole island was probably at the bottom of the sea. And tens of thousands of years from now, it could be the peak of a mountain for all we know.
Everything we see, everyone we meet, is caught up in a great unseen flow. But it's bigger than that. It's the entire world, the entire universe even. And compared to something as big as that, Al, you and I are tiny, not even the size of ants. Only one small part within a much greater flow. Nothing more than a fraction of the whole. But by putting all those "ones" together, you get one great "All", just like Teacher said. The flow of this universe follows laws of such magnitude that you and I can't even imagine them.
Oh yeah, we only exchanged parts of our bodies for what we saw. But Al paid the toll with his entire physical being. He must’ve seen more of the Truth than either of us did.
This year marks my sixtieth birthday. It's frustrating how your body stops moving the way you want it to... So I'd like to finish this job quickly as possible and return home...
I understand why you'd think you have an advantage over a man like me since I possess neither your impenetrable Ultimate Shield, nor an Ultimate Spear that can pierce any substance... But I'll tell you a secret. Do you know how I managed to distinguish myself amongst the storms of bullets on the battlefield time after time... to rise to my current position?
I may not have the protection of your Ultimate Shield, but I clearly see your weakness with my Ultimate Eye. Now then, Greed. How many times do I have to kill you before you stay dead?
