And Ed may be just one character but as a result of this exploration of him we get a deeper look at his relationship with his brother which is absolutely wonderful. We see him at his best and at his darkest and we see more of him at a young age and growing up and becoming better.
He goes through moral dilemmas and the struggle between him and the various homunculi feels really personal. His entire worldview basically gets overturned and he frequently has to face the results of his wll-intentioned but short-sighted actions. He gets challenged a little here and there and goes through some development but it’s nothing compared to his 03 counterpart.Įd in 03 is almost always at the centre of the narrative and he’s always being challenged on his viewpoints and struggles to do the right thing. In Brotherhood, Ed is more frequently used for comic relief and seems to be an observer to many of the important plots rather than a participant. Primarily, it would be its characterisation of Edward Elric. I think this blog in general should make it clear that I have an obsession with it and don’t have nearly so much love for Brotherhood but… here’s what I wrote in response: I feel like the final arc of FMA 03 was very rushed and I think it’s a shame as I’d have loved to witness more of Envy. He’s my favourite antagonist in this series. Mostly I wish we’d gotten to see more of him. In particular, I absolutely adore his end scene. He’s both competent, an excellent fighter with an incredibly useful ability, and yet chaotic and unpredictable. He’s more than happy to tag along with their schemes and even takes orders from them – at least until he’s properly enraged.Įnvy is straightforwardly evil but he’s mostly just a giant evil ball of terrible emotions funneled in the worst way possible with a dash of apathy and distancing himself from any underlying humanity the other homunculi cling to. He finds joy in things like destroying loving fathers such as Hughes, in sowing hatred between mother and son like with Wrath and Izumi and in being superior to humans – especially alchemists, and especially alchemists who have performed human transmutations, and especially alchemists who created and then abandoned their homunculi creations…ĭespite everything, Envy seems to get on well with the other homunculi, most of whom were also abandoned by their creators, (though he can’t stand Pride, who is both Dante’s loyal puppet and a pretend father himself.), and acts a bit like an older brother when he’s in a good mood. Time hasn’t cooled his anger, thanks to Dante’s influence, but it’s grown such that it’s basically consumed him.

(Some parallel with the Elric brothers there as Ed also carries some resentment for his father for abandoning them.) Envy is full of hate for all humans as an extension of the hatred he feels for Hohenheim. “It’s unfair, isn’t it? Those boys getting everything back while you, who should be his dearest, are unable to obtain anything.Įnvy’s single other motivation is to destroy Hohenheim – the person who created and abandoned him.

Dante is more than willing to use Envy for her schemes and knows how to take advantage of his emotions. His primary reason for his actions is sheer pleasure with his loyalty to Dante being a secondary reason. Envy, in contrast, is driven more by his emotions. She’s a relatively rational creature who is rarely cruel for the sake of it.
Unlike Lust, who’s also an unrepentant killer, Envy realises that Dante is just manipulating them and so there’s no real point to their actions, whereas Lust at least believes in achieving her goal at the end – she has reasons for her deplorable acts. If he’s bored, maybe he’ll shapeshift into a loved one before killing someone to cause maximum devastation. This guy was bothering him so Envy casually killed him without so much as sparing him a glance. He regularly goes around causing discord and ruining people’s lives even though he’s one of the few characters who is aware of the futility of seeking out the philosopher’s stone because he is really 400 years old.Īnd he doesn’t care. He’s a hateful creature who enjoys tormenting humans and has absolutely no morals. Envy is actually a very straightforward character.
