Forma definitiva Manipolazione atmosferica Manipolazione della terra Manipolazione nucleare Creazione di esseri umani Creazione di campi di forza Il Padre è un personaggio immaginario della serie manga e anime Fullmetal Alchemist, scritto e disegnato dalla mangaka Hiromu Arakawa, e più precisamente ne è il principale antagonista. This could possibly hint that Father may be able to possibly be reborn or recreated through Pride. Homunculus used this opportunity and instructed the king to construct a giant transmutation circle out of the kingdom, creating bloodshed at specific nodes of the circle. Date of Creation His control over alchemic energy skyrockets as well, and he becomes able to fire tremendous energy blasts from every direction, to make them last as long as he wants and even to increase their already immense magnitude tenfold, and to absorb human souls without rituals. Truth tells Father that he'll receive his most fitting despair as the Gates open up and hands appear to grab Father.

Father Father's image bears a striking resemblance with the image concept of God as an old man with robes in multiple religions. His immortality, his immense powers and his control over Amestris comforted him in his belief that he was superior to any life form. His largely prideful-seeming nature may be a reference to pride being the "father of all sins", though it's easy to argue that his biggest sin is sloth rather than pride. Non compare nella prima serie animata. Healing Factor: As a Homunculus, Father has an incredibly powerful healing factor, arguably more powerful than the rest of his homunculi "children". After absorbing the Truth, Father undergoes a final transformation. Considering the gate seems to portray a different alchemic symbol (such as Mustang's transmutation circle) between alchemists, it may also be seen to represent Father's status as a being originating from the gate itself. Hohenheim asserts that Father is only capable of destruction and his evolution has reached a dead end. Scar | Deciding on Izumi and Edward as his first targets, Father attempts to draw out their souls into a Philosopher's Stone, but is interrupted when the military joins the fray with the blind Mustang, along with Lt. Riza Hawkeye supporting him, and Major Alex Louis Armstrong spearheading the attack. Enraged that his own son would rebel against him to the end, Father destroys Greed's soul. He was also seen growing to gigantic proportions, but it is possible that this was due to him absorbing the Truth instead of his regular abilities. On the verge of defeat, Father reels in shock at being bested by a mere human. He uses the pipes to spread the Philosopher's Stone beneath the nation of Amestris. However, Father only has flawless control over these abilities thanks to the souls of the 50 million people Amestrians he'd consumed and when Hohenheim counteracts this with his own country-wide transmutation circle, Father is left only with the souls of the initial Xerxeans he'd consumed centuries prior leaving his body unstable. Though they are considered by … Father is the main antagonist of the manga series, Full Metal Alchemist. Father's voice actor in both the Japanese and English version also narrates the 2009 anime. Father, now in his original form, appears before the Gate and asks God why he was not accepted as its vessel, and gets a reply: "It's because you did not believe in yourself." Meet the four fathers that provided color in this story and helped shape the main characters, brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, along the way.. His later self is stated by Hohenheim to be much more stoic, composed, almost lifeless, and almost always looking bored, the reason being that he had supposedly purged himself of the seven vices (this "purging" seems to have been incomplete, since he acts in sinful manners that reflect the seven vices). In his divine form, he is constantly surrounded by a barrier of electricity-like energy that cancels every type of attack, be it normal punches, flame alchemy, rocket barrages, or grenades. Though his entire body slowly morphs to carbon via Greed's power, the avaricious Homunculus explains from inside that he has used his armor ability to transform Father's anatomy to one comprised of the weakest, most fragile form of carbon imaginable and his entire being begins to crumble under its own weight. However, ensuring Greed's death was not in vain, Edward uses this opportunity to punch a hole through Father's chest, through which the remaining Xerxesian Souls of his Philosopher's Stone escape. From there, in his full form, Father tears open the Gate of Truth with his bare hands; absorbing the higher power he calls "God". He is also able to change the atomic structure of matter to the point of turning a stone floor into liquid, among other things. He is able to use alchemy to reshape his own body for any situation. However, Greed counters that he knew Father would drop his guard in order to absorb a Stone and explains that his own plan is to drain god energy instead. As he begins to fall back, Ed and Al rush to his aid, holding him up so that he might keep up the fight and their grateful father redoubles his efforts, straining his Philosopher's Stone. If there’s an anime that showcases the diversity of fathers very well, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a great choice. More importantly, Father can infuse his alchemic energy into the ground by connecting himself to pipes, which he does to provide Amestris with the energy that the local alchemists need to transmute. In the 2009 anime, before Father gets sucked back to the Gate (while in his fourth appearance), he loses both of his arms (the other arm was lost when he destroyed Greed), unlike in the manga where he only loses one arm and one leg, ironically mirroring what happened to Ed at the beginning of the story. He is no less adept in gaining the trust of people he needs, mostly by promises and inspiring declarations, playing on their desires and telling them what they want to hear. FatherThe Philosopher of the EastThe Dwarf in the FlaskThe Good GentlemanBearded Bastard Father remains unseen during the first part of the story. This could possibly signify that a Homunculus can't use alchemy normally. Vote in our polls and see certain Blind Wave videos early!! Hope you guys enjoy this one. But when Father blocks a kick from Edward with his arm instead of energy, Hohenheim realizes that the Homunculus is at his breaking point and can barely keep God contained within his body. 10 WOULD WORK WITH: Dr. Doom What makes Dr. Doom unique among his villainous contemporaries is that he's the leader of his own country, Latveria (PS: Not everybody necessarily recognizes it as its own country). Soon after, Pride arrives with a blinded Colonel Mustang, giving Father his fifth and final human sacrifice. These revelations suggest that deep down, part of what Father wanted to purge was his own unbearable loneliness and jealousy that humans had each other for social, emotional, and physical support whilst he was originally the only Homunculus on Earth. Father's original form, inside the flask. Despite his normally calm, brooding personality, he is shown to be extremely excited when his plans finally come together, showing a wicked, gleefully evil side to his personality, as he was giggling with delight as the nationwide transmutation circle took effect. Just managing to keep God within his form, Father searches desperately for a soul to make into a Philosopher's Stone and sees the nearby Edward sprawled on a pile of broken concrete and desperately moves to take Fullmetal's soul to replenish his stone supply. Since each of the Homunculi he created were partially made of his soul in an attempt to cleanse himself of his sins, a part of him is still alive due to Pride never being fully destroyed. Ed, however, is saved by Al, who uses May's help to sacrifice himself in exchange for the return of Ed's original right arm. The gate could also represent real power or wisdom gained, as Truth stated that Father "stole his power from others", thus Father's gate being blank could also signify that he neither had any real power outside of his stolen souls nor ever learned anything.
