I don't like Gluttony.
Couldn't fit all of this on the top so I will say it here. It's literally just a who would win. More about me. My favorite character is Roy Mustang (obviously). I guess the best villain is Father. Here's an image of that one weird looking Roy plush.
So ima swing by who knows this might be my new wiki and I might change my age long pfp or Seijuro Akashi (from KnB I hope someone knows that anime, never found someone on wiki who does) to my goat Roy mustang
Did anybody pick up that book?
I got one and read the popularity poll ratings on the timeline.
I had to use a magnifying glass because it was too small.
Anyone gonna check it out?
Today, the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist turns 52! Happy birthday, Hiromu Arakawa!
Her name has been spelt "Rosé" on this wiki for awhile now. In Japanese, her name is spelt ロゼ (Roze) which is pronounced "ro-zay" like the wine and not "Rose" like the flower (which is spelt ローズ, "Rozu" in Japanese).
I'm not questioning the pronunciation. The pronunciation, in Japanese, is definitely "ro-zay" like Rosé wine.
But I actually can't find any source for the SPELLING with the accent mark? The only one I can find is VIZ's manga translation. Brotherhood's eyecatcher, 2003's character sheets, all of the guidebooks I can find, ALL of them spell her name as Rose, no accent mark. I haven't found a single Japanese source that spells her name Rosé, and no better English source than VIZ (which is generally avoided due to having inconsistent and blatantly wrong translations, like the infamous Cselkcess).
I am willing to leave this exception as it does make the intended pronunciation more clear, but it reaaaaalllyyyy bothers me that I can't find any better source for the accent mark....If anyone knows of any other sources that spell her name Rosé, preferably a Japanese one, I would be very appreciative

Can someone upload more transcripts to the site from the fma03 and possibly some brotherhood
Look, with all due respect, I hate Shou Tucker too.
But not to the point of wanting to punch him multiple times.
Because face it, no matter how despicable you all paint him as, he is pathetic and weak. He has no superpowers or other special abilities; making him one of the weakest anime villains of all time.
Yet why did Edward go berserk and punch him multiple times?! I get he is angry he experimented on his own family like his mother and daughter. But again, he is weak; he is just scum. After those experiment, he became too pathetic to hurt anyone and lost the ability to do so.
If I were him, I would punch him, but only for 4 or 5 times. Because criminal scum like him deserve to be arrested behind bars and booed and shamed by the public. And I would not dirty my hands on someone so pathetic.
Even if it was for good reasons, dirtying your hands with someone so pathetic is never a good thing. He should have turned him in for arrest for him to be booed by people.
But this is what I am confused at, why was Edward showing uncontrollable anger by ways like punching him multiple times? And why did you all love this moment?
Because I believe Tucker deserves to be locked up behind bars and be booed by the public as they say derogatory words.
And this is the legendary Edward, hero of Fullmetal Alchemist fame. He saved the world from Father and other threats. He should know better that punching Shou Tucker many times would only kill him; an action dishonourable and disgraceful for heroes like him.
Ben Tennyson would stop him and say that he is crossing a line not coming back from if he was there. Even if he had good reasons.
But I would please like to hear a healthy hater of Shou Tucker and fan of the series explain to me why Edward acted this way.
Because I do not understand it completely.
I was looking through the offical art book and found this I'm a soul eater fan and fma fan so I was curious...
I’m having trouble finding it because I wanna watch

You want to know what I mean? Well, look at this for example.
There are other examples too:
Are these sites very reliable and credible? Or not? Because considering the massive hatred they all have for Tucker, it seems very much so.
Now listen here, I am not stupid, because I understand the scope of this tragedy, he experimented on Nina and the pet dog Alexander into a hybrid chimera freak, believing human sacrifices are the pave-way and advancement to science. But if this were to be accepted, millions of innocent lives would be sacrificed.
Also not only did he rob Nina of her humanity, but he also killed her. Because the forbidden arts of human alchemy transmutations that fused her and Alexander also destroyed her memories, effectively killing the poor girl. You all say he “hurt Nina”, but that is NOT the only thing, he killed her. She is gone forever. And I don’t blame Edward for acting angry, but even still, I do not support the idea of him punching him, because I believe he is not worth it.
Pointer: Why do you all give in to your inner sadism and enjoy Edward punching him? Because to me, with how laughably pathetic, dense, and broken Tucker is, I believe it is not worth it.
He may be weak and pathetic, but I can tell that creator Hiromu hated even him because she was also referencing real life evil, criminals, and other corrupt people who would harm children like in what is happening in third-world countries like Africa, Syria, Myanmar, Israel, and Palestine. These kind of evils like child exploitation are not the only ones she references; other forms of real life evil include, in this case, unethical human experimentation as a whole. And I got good examples. Ones done against the Jews by the Nazis, the disturbing experiments of the Japanese Unit 731, and many more that are probably done worldwide in secret to both young children and adults.
I understand this kind of tragedy done to poor Nina because I also know good examples of such experimentations in media.
Servantis’ Rooter Experiments (Ben 10: Omniverse)
Shockwave’s Experiments on Insecticons and the Dinobots’ Modifications (Transformers: Fall of Cybertron)
Black Ghost’s Cyborg Experiments (Cyborg 009)
Kyudai Garaki’s Nomu Experiments and Overhaul’s Expeirments on Eri’s Rewind Quirk (My Hero Academia)
And if you ask, whenever I think of Shou Tucker, I always remember the unethical alchemic chimera experiments done to her alone as a big thing of Shou’s dark personality and heart and a reason why the idea and ideology of “human sacrifices as an advancement of science” as a thing that is wrong for good.
This dark heart of his like how he refused to admit he did something wrong, combined with his limited knowledge of why human sacrifices are not okay are the reasons why he is in hell in the first place.
But I ask, why go for this massive hatred for a B-Grade Villain like Shou Tucker, who despite his unethical, broken, psychopathic personality is very pathetic to be not worth punching? And how did his face become so hated that it was so meme worthy to the point of being used as the face of a wiki for characters intentionally made to be hated.
Look at good ones like Sentinel Prime from the Transformers Animated Universe or Benson from Regular Show. Those ones are made to be annoyingly naggy and overbearing to the point it’s actually funny for people like me. But Tucker? No way, Jose! Those two would not be happy and would show genuine tears and would say “You will never get away with this!” Because why lump an unethical alchemist and scientist like him with goofballs like the latter two?
I know I am over-analyzing and looking in too deep, but after realizing why he is massively hated, I started to take him seriously. Very and extremely seriously.
Because there are good reason why many FMA and Anime fans alike will never live this down, never let go, never forgive, and outright curse Shou Tucker like if he was a real person, even if it is obsessive and delusional. The sweetest character, Nina was gone as she backed the test subject for an alchemic experiment she was tricked into.
I should remind you all that the evils here are not just child exploitation. Also inhumane experimentation, a sin that Tucker became the “poster-child” for. And for good reasons. No one loves to be experimented on without consent.
But I don’t understand this conviction for this hatred. Why hate his evil so much and treat him like an infamous, legendary villain like Frieza and Megatron? He is just a simple scumbag who experimented on lives without consent, a broken one to the point where his common-sense is unable to understand right and wrong.
Why go so far?
Because I made this also as an excuse to understand the deep reasoning and scientific analysis of this meme.
Why would Hiromu hate a creation she made? She made him to be like this in first place! Doesn’t this sound contradictory? Why isn’t she happy to make a character based off of real life evil? (Not just Child Abuse, but it also Child Exploitation and Inhumane Experimentation, the latter I take very seriously.)
Look, I know what he had done. He sacrificed his wife and daughter Nina as experiments for his alchemy. And yes, it is quite terrible, especially for poor Nina.
But though I admittedly hate him like you guys, I also cannot bring myself to imagine punching him in the face, even if he had abused her.
Because he is the most pathetic, useless, and pitiful “villain”, or should I say, antagonist, I have ever seen!
But don’t get me wrong, I am not that naive to believe that he “did not do anything wrong” or that his experiment on Nina is not all that bad. And for the record, I have “touched grass” to understand the context and why real-life mattered.
I know that, because I argued with the FMA Subreddit many times and got hated and mocked. And I don’t blame them.
And here are some reasons why I feel confused by your extreme hatred. But there are questions I ask of you guys to answer:
Question 1: Why do Hate How He Sacrificed Nina? Why was Nina so Dear to You All? And why use the statement “Hate Him Because He is Based Off Of Real Life”? And Why Call Him A “Child Abuser” in this Context?
Call me sick all you like, but the reason I do not pay attention to this thing or “real-life evil” is because newcomers like me only come here for the action of the series.
Great battles, superb action, and menacing supervillains like Envy, Lust, Greed, and Father.
It’s Why Many Like Me Do Not Find Hating Tucker A Cup Of Tea Because He is Just Normal Scummy Low-Life. No superpowers, no intelligence, no design that interests the eyes; he is literal trash, an uninteresting one at that.
And even with comparisons like Harry Potter’s Dolores Umbridge was not good for me, because I found out even Dolores herself proved to be as equally but uniquely threatening as Voldemor as not only was she as power-hungry as her, but also intelligent and cunning. She was a great mastermind villain, who was being racist because she wants a school with no races.
But Tucker, he has none!
Just why complain and say that you will never forgive him for hurting- No, killing Nina?
What made her so precious that Edward angrily punched him in the face while angrily punching him in the face?
And just what makes the idea of using his daughter as a test subject disgusting to you all?
Because sorry, I only come here for the action and fight scenes, not things like this.
And how is it child abuse? I fail to see Tucker as an abusive parent because, look at Precia Testarossa from Nanoha, she constantly whipped Fate over and over and over again and said that she hated her. That is what an abusive parent would be like; child abuse as is harming and hurting young children with weapons like whips.
Meanwhile, Tucker did not do such psychical violence or domestic violence to Nina, and only said like “doing something fun” which is tricking her into becoming a test subject for his chimera alchemy.
And how is that considered “child abuse” and an example of a “abusive parent” when Tucker did not show some kind of violence to Nina like how Precia did with Fate.
Heck, he even treated the Ninalexander hybrid as if it were his daughter Nina herself!
So I am left baffled and confused.
Speaking of which…
Question 2: Why Do You Act Like Edward Who Was Angry? Besides, Tucker Was Too Pathetic to Deserve Punches in The Face.
What did Ed mean exactly when he said Tucker was “no alchemist” when he is one, albeit an unethical and bad one. What was an alchemist according to Ed?
Why do you people love seeing Tucker suffer by being punched in the face? He is too useless; Alphonse even said that he would have died! So why do you love Ed punching this low-life?
He is too pathetic and useless to hurt anyone? Can’t you all let him go? And I coined that from Psychonauts.
And no matter how much you hate him, Tucker is like a Ed in how they first used alchemy, but while that is true, there are other facts that prevent Ed from becoming him.
Which brings me to number 3…
Question 3: His Ineptitude and Inability to Accept Reality
To newcomers, he is no psychopath, he is just a sociopath. Because he has shown to be quite shallow when he never understood why people like his higher ups and Ed were angry at his alchemy.
But, as I said, what made Ed and him different was that while they had no idea how to first use alchemy; Shou was more unethical and willing to sacrifice his former loved ones to escape poverty and earn money. But even then, there is a huge problem in his experiments and how he fails in his job.
I heard that State Alchemists should try to create something to support the country with the funds they had earned. But instead of making medicine or anything else, he thought it was a good idea to make a chimera with his family.
And you all know that the experiment failed horribly and miserably as the result were failed prototypes like Ninalexander and his poor wife.
These useless failures that were a waste of life had frail bodies that would die in short amounts of time, and had full amnesia of who they were. I mean, Nina was really hurting back there.
This shows that Tucker was stupid, inept, and short-sighted; qualities that prevent him from becoming an alchemist. And if this was what got him to hell, then I don’t blame Hiromu for this idea.
And this is one thing I am lost at, why is Tucker so inept and so detached from reality that he fails to understand why his superiors and Edward denied his Ninalexander Chimera and denied him.
There is a reason why he refuses to admit he did something wrong, he wants to prove to the world that he had made scientific progress, but it was a wrong kind of progress and because of his short-sightedness, missed the point of what alchemy should be about, philosophy and wisdom.
So I want to know more about his psychology of his sociopathy from you guys:
(A) Why did he give in to the insanity and become a sociopath and sacrifice his wife and Nina like that so easily? Why did he believe and give in to the idea that sacrifices are necessary for science? Because people like Senku from Dr. Stone would know otherwise.
(B) And why does he refuse to understand or admit why what he did was wrong due to wanting people to accept him? Because I noticed that form of ineptitude as he talks to Ninalexander as if it was still his daughter. And why was he unable to understand reality like knowing why people like Ed was angry at his ideas.
(C) What was his goal by using chimeras? It was too advanced and he had zero intelligence to pull it off as he made failed prototypes? How would those improve the country exactly?
Because anytime I wanted to try asking this like in Reddit, I only got denial by many.
Question 4: If You Want Other Good Examples of Evil Villains Who Are Like Him, I Got Good Ones
And no, I am not talking about Frieza or Cell, those are too advanced, I wanted at least evil scientists who did actions like what he did, but were better in intelligence, and being competent villains.
Dr. Neo Cortex (Crash Bandicoot) - Not only was he a goofy evil scientist who was mostly an imbecile when he fails, but also an effective villain for Crash. I mean, he was experimenting on animals to rule the world like a wombat and a bandicoot, the latter which failed and became an idiot.
Dr. Tenma (Astro Boy 2003) - I found this to be a better villain like Tucker, but knows to to be an effective villain for Astro. Of course, he was so obsessed with his late son Tobio, that he only saw Astro as an imitation, so he sold him to the robot circus. And in the 2003 Anime, he went on to make robots like his Assistant Shadow, to make other robots like Atlas and Pluto to make him the “king of the robots”.
Servantis (Ben 10: Omniverse) - This is a personal favorite, as the human and Cerebrocrustacean hybrid experimented on humans and aliens to create hybrids, amalgamations. He used Kevin as a conduit to live-graft and fuse humans with Alien DNA creating the Amalgam Kids, and members of his supposed kill squad like Agent Swift and Agent Leander to destroy the coming storm, Ben Tennyson and his Omnitrix. And he did by using his position as leader of the Black Ops Squad, The Rooters and Brainstorming Powers to Brainwash People Across the Universe to Believe that Kevin had a home planet that he had a father named, Devin Levin so that he can continue his experiments and plans in secret.
And look, for how terrible Shou Tucker is, I cannot hate him as much as you guys do because he is too useless and pathetic.
You say he is “evil scum”, but Shou Tucker is one of the most pathetic and useless evil I have ever seen!
And what do you mean by “Hate-Sink”? Is he a “Love-to-Hate” Villain? But what is there to love? He is a useless man with nothing to make him interesting and compelling.
Just a stupid and inept shell of a man, not to mention, a total sociopath.
So why go far for this hatred? Why hate things from real life exactly? Why would Hiromu Arakawa hate even her creation Shou Tucker? What exactly did she hate about him during creation? Are there any interviews that explain this?
I mean, I understand why Tucker was sent to the underworld of Hell; it’s his dark heart and ineptitude. Something I learned from Hiroyuki Takei’s Shaman King.
And Edward, you should have made a heroic speech to outcry his alchemy and that is why he is not an alchemist. I mean, you are Edward Elric, the greatest hero of Fullmetal Alchemist! You beat criminals like Kimblee and Scar! You faced saved the world against Father and battled his Homunculi children Greed, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Pride, and Envy, a personal favorite.
And you are despairing over a terrible father but also a useless, pathetic lowlife and shell of a man!? I know he took away and killed your best friend Nina like it was okay in an unethical manner, but is that the limit to your resolve against scumbags like him!?
You are a hero! A superhero!
Even Ben 10 and his Grandpa Max would give him a piece of his mind!
And said Ben 10 would tell you to stop punching his face because it would be crossing a line you would never come back from!
Sorry, but what is the context of this!? I only know flashy battle and action, so how does the “real-life” ideas and “personal” feelings of hatred towards Shou Tucker matter in the dark and mature world of Fullmetal Alchemist!
Edward should have known better! He faced many enemies! He should have given Tucker a piece of his mind, through words, not the fists!
But anyway, please explain to me why this hatred matters and please answer the additional questions I mentioned above.
