Alphonse vs Pride and Kimblee. One of the best fight scenes. It's a pity it was a short fight, but he proved great proficiency in that span. Sure, he had the stone which enhanced his alchemy, but skill is required to use the power of the stone for your advantage, and he did it with quick action and thinking. Alphonse had the advantage of durability due to his armored body, but he can easily be as good as Ed. I can recall the author once said neither is better than the other.

@littlejune131

8y↑84

+NakiNaki Serrano Alphonse is the better brawler, while Edward is the better alchemist, although the differences in either skill are pretty minimal. Also, if I recall correctly, Ed is better at coding information, while Al has the greater affinity for handling social/political/awkward/stressful situations.

What is the real reason why Bradley did not get the regeneration powers of the other Homunculi ? It's because Father did not want Bradley to ascend into Godhood before before he did.

@TheRaackMan

10y↑53

He only had one soul so he could be the most human homunculus, if he had any more the people from xing would detect his chi, and he wouldn't age.

@bigfoxki

10y↑6

He still has the philosophers' stone in his body, same as Hohenheim and Hohenheim does regenerat during the final battle. and Lin too does regenerat if I remember correctly.

@TheRaackMan

10y↑48

大狐 Yeah, but said philosopher's stone only had 1 soul inside of it, which is really all he needed in the first place. Although I can only imagine how unstoppable he'd be if he had even more than one life. Even after being stabbed, losing his ultimate eye, being cut up a bit, and getting shot, scar barely stood a chance.

@magikustotalus

10y↑14

Each homunculus has its own special characteristics. The homunculus of Wrath, which had to incarnate in a normal human body, did not inherit the regenerative abilities of the completely artificial homunculi.

@CassDaMan1138

9y↑24

It's because when they injected Bradley with the Philosopher stone Bradley fought off and killed all the souls in the stone except one. Ling willingly gave into the Greed Philosopher Stone without hesitation, allowing a more "Smooth Transition". Wrath can't regenerate because he only has one soul in him. He grows old because I'm assuming each year the Homunculi age they are using a soul from the stone to stay young. Wrath is basically a "handicapped" homunculus, but that doesn't mean he isn't any less a threat.

@Mitcheeta Pride is no different from any other homunculus, in the fact that souls are expended when enough damage is dealt; so the more regeneration, the more consumed souls. Pride was actually very affected by Henkel's attacks in the forest, as he stated he couldn't take too much more punishment before consuming Gluttony. Again, I think this matchup is all very dependent on several different factors: How much space does Wrath have to maneuver? How well-lit is the location?
