Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 64 : Journey's End
Dr. Knox arrives at the hospital and asks to see Colonel Mustang, accompanied by a mysterious stranger. In his hospital room, Mustang is lectured by his subordinates on what to answer when asked about the new plans he has to rebuild the nation of Ishval, and a surprised Knox asks him how he intends to move forward without being able to see. Mustang replies that even with his handicap, he can't just sit around; since Ishval is where it all began for them, he plans to repay the Ishvalans by returning their holy land. Knox calls his mysterious companion and reveals that it was Marcoh who accompanied him. Marcoh reveals that he still has the Philosopher's Stone with him and states that if Mustang is going to help the Ishvalans, it is only right that he use the stone forged from the lives of their compatriots to help him achieve that goal. Brushing aside how Fullmetal might scold him, Mustang agrees to the exchange, but notes that Havoc must be cured before he does.
At the Armstrong mansion, Olivier and Miles watch over the recovering Scar, explaining that they originally saved him so that Briggs could learn alkahestry, but since Mustang asked Miles to lead the Ishval reconstruction project, the situation has changed, and Miles expresses his wish to bring Scar into the project with him. Declaring that he will not allow Ishvalan culture to die out, he asks Scar to help rebuild the Ishvalan religion. Scar complies and Armstrong, satisfied with this development, asks Scar for his real name. However, ex-assassin Ishvalan notes that as a person who has died twice, he no longer has a name and will accept whatever she sees fit to call him.
On the way to Resembool, Edward and Alphonse take a break due to Al's atrophied muscles, but when Al tells Ed to continue without him, he refuses, stating that since they left home together, they will arrive together. Wondering to themselves how Ling and May are doing, they recall the previous day when Ling informed May that the Yao clan would be the new rulers of Xing, but that he would use his power as emperor to protect the Chang clan and everyone else as a clan. well. With that, the Xingu warriors left for their homeland together after saying goodbye to the Elrics and Ling pointed out that they were quickly returning so they could bury Fu.
The boys arrive at the Rockbell house and when Winry hears them say hello to Den, she goes outside to meet them. When she sees the boys together and whole again after so many years, she bursts into tears, hugging them both warmly and welcoming them back.
Two years pass in peace and Edward notices that he is a little lacking in alchemy as he repairs the roof by hand. Alphonse joins him to inform him that Winry has baked an apple pie. After Edward complains about how tired he is of making courtesy calls all over the country, Al mentions that they still have so much work to do.
Mrs. Bradley welcomes new Führer Grumman to the manager's headquarters, who notes that his job is made much easier by Mustang's work in the east and Armstrong's work in the north, but that he is not ready to hand over his chair. not yet to any of them. Their conversation is interrupted by young Selim, who still bears his Homunculus sign on his forehead. Noticing his compassion for the injured bird, Grumman notes that Selim is growing into a kind-hearted boy, and Mrs. Bradley replies that despite everyone's objections to her desire to raise the little homunculus, he is growing very well. Grumman reminds her that she will have to intervene if Selim begins to exhibit strange behavior, but Mrs. Bradley assures the Führer that she needn't worry. As he leaves, Führer Grumman wonders if Homunculi and humans can really learn to live together, noting that the possibilities are exciting.
Alphonse arrives in Central City and visits Gracia and Elicia Hughes separately, telling them stories of his brother and informing them that the two plan to split up to personally thank everyone who helped them along the way. Gracia attributes this to the idea of Equivalent Exchange, but Alphonse mentions that he and his brother proposed a new way of thinking in which one not only repays ten in exchange for receiving ten, but instead takes the ten for himself and repays it by adding one from himself to give another eleven.
Al leaves the Hughes and goes to meet his escorts Jers and Zampano in town and suggests that they travel to Xing as he intends to study alcahestry intensively under Maya's tutelage. Jerso and Zampano plan to accompany him as his bodyguards, hoping that the alkahestia will help them restore their own bodies. They ask if Edward is going east as well, but Al replies that Edward will go west to find out what alchemical lessons that part of the world has so they can one day bring all the world's alchemy together to help. as many people as possible. But he also admits that they really go to see the world.
At Resembool, Winry sees Edward off at the train station, scolding him to take better care of his automail leg while she's gone. The train arrives and Edward prepares to board, but before he does, he turns to Winry and proposes an Equivalent Exchange between them, in which he gives her half of his life and takes half of hers in return. Annoyed by this clumsy alchemy-based proposal, Winry comments that she's willing to give him much more than half. Edward laughs at her and her ability to bring down the Equivalent Exchange so easily and hugs her goodbye.
As Edward leaves on the train, he thinks that although the lessons are worthless if they don't teach pain, because gaining something always involves sacrifice, people who are able to endure that pain gain a strong, All-Metal Heart.
A pan of pictures taped to the wall of the Rockbell-Elric house depicts the fates of most of the characters - Van Hohenheim's grave was erected next to Trishi; Scar and Miles work diligently to rebuild Ishval; Black Hayate mated and produced a litter of pups; Ling became the Xing Emperor; Yoki, Darius and Heinkel entered the circus together; Mustang regains his sight and grows a mustache and plays a major role in the reconstruction of the eastern region with Riza, now with short hair, still at his side; Rebecca Catalina appears to have taken over the Madame Christmas bar, along with Breda and a fully rehabilitated Havoc; Falman returned to duty in the northern region. And the last picture shows a new photo of Elric's family: after their travels, Alphonse returned to Amestris with May and Xiao-Mei, and Edward married Winry, who had a little boy and a girl, and is still connected to Paninya and Garfiel.
