They are done! Did kinda like a cartoon reference sheet lineup

I'm not super keen on the colours but I feel like that's because I struggled with screenshots of the show being so desaturated

Yesssss, I love this analogy! Especially the argument for Greed being Wrath’s foil; this is great!

Fullmetal Alchemist: Wrath

Over the course of my reread, I've spoken a fair deal about my thoughts on Wrath and I never got all my thoughts out on him.

When I began this series, I didn't think I'd become so invested in him. In fact, I had no opinions on Wrath until I started taking an analytical approach to this series.

My basic thesis is Wrath is nihilistic. He does not believe in ideals, beliefs, gods, emotions, or even his own purpose.

Back when he was a regular human, he was simply Presidential Candidate #12. He and the other candidates were trained in all matters related to physical prowess, military knowledge, etc. all to build the perfect leader.

Perhaps at the time, he thought the President would be whoever was deemed the most exemplar of them all. The crown would go to the hardest worker and the best suited for the role.

But when the next phase of the program began, it wasn't skill or knowledge that made him the chosen candidate; it was luck. He just so happened to be the first candidate to survive being injected with a Stone. If he hadn't, his body would have been thrown away like the 11 candidates before him. And if one of them had become Wrath, he would have lived the rest of his life as a mindless soldier serving the Doctor.

The process of becoming Wrath depleted his Stone to the point there is only a single soul within it. I would argue that soul is #12's original soul. Greed doesn't have any of Lin's memories but Wrath has memories from before he became Wrath. And the body and soul are bound by the spirit. When the link is severed, the body dies. We know the soul can be forcibly extracted and stored as a Stone even after the body is destroyed, but there's no evidence suggesting the body can exist in a living state without the soul.

So Wrath's body still working leads me to believe that his soul still exists. Maybe we could argue that some other soul is using #12's body, but they should ultimately reject each other. Barry's body was rotting because of the animal soul placed into it. Why wouldn't #12's body start to fall apart after decades with some other soul.

When Greed's Stone was put into Lin Yao, Lin accepted Greed and the two ultimately became symbiotic due to their shared avarice and insatiable desires.

What if #12 happened to have a similar relation to whatever essence made up Wrath? What if at the moment Wrath was inserted into him, #12 was filled with so much anger and hatred for what he's gone through that he and Wrath ultimately came to an agreement with each other? #12 got to keep his body and Wrath's powers, but Wrath's essence would influence him for the rest of his life.

Somewhere in his life, he concluded that nothing has any meaning and ideals are pointless. Maybe it's just an aspect of Father's wrath. Maybe he came to that conclusion after spending his life following Father's designs. Wrath gained power, fame, and success and it ultimately means nothing to him because he never earned it. It was all given to him as part of Father's plans. And it only went to him because he was lucky enough to become Wrath.

Wrath does not believe in god. He called god a human invention, a fantasy for the weak-minded, and an idol created by those too weak to take responsibility for their own fates. That last one is a bit hypocritical since Wrath has never taken responsibility for his own fate. He lives his life according to to the will and purpose handed to him, much like how a religious zealot might claim their actions are the will of god.

Father's goal is to seal god within himself, thus freeing himself from god's rule and becoming a perfect being. Father ultimately treats god as the cause to all his problems, meaning he treats god the same way Wrath described.

It would not surprise me if Wrath despises Father and has nothing but contempt for him. Wrath's fate is shackled to Father's purposes. He can never escape them, and he exists only to achieve some goal that he likely doesn't care about. He is not afraid of divine retribution for what they're doing. He only fears the retaliation of humans.

And Wrath is a perfect foil for Greed. Wrath has everything and values nothing. greed has nothing but values everything. Greed abandoned the other Homunculi because he found no satisfaction with them and refused to be bound by Father's will. I truly believe that Wrath feels the same way, but he's ultimately too jaded to even consider the idea of rebellion.

Father melted Greed in molten metal to extract his stone. He gave a toast to his loyal children and to the Promised Day. But that entire ritual has a second purpose. It warns the rest of the Homunculi the consequences of rebellion. If Wrath had any thoughts of rebellion and making a life for himself, Greed's death would have erased those thoughts. He would just be disposed of like the pawn he is.

After Greed's punishment, Wrath walked home with a furious look to his face, only for it to dispel when his wife and son greeted him. He understands he can never escape his fate to serve Father's purpose, so he would take comfort in times where he could just be with his human family. In particular, he enjoyed being with his wife whom he got to choose for himself.

He hates his purpose and feels he cannot escape it. Maybe he enjoyed seeing Roy and his allies disrupt Father's plans because it gave him some sense of comfort. Everything in his life had been planned out, so it was exciting to experience problems.

In particular, he took an interest in Roy Mustang. From the moment he saw Roy kill Lust, he realized Roy had the qualities to be an ideal sacrifice. And Wrath spent much effort to shackle Roy in place and keep him from further interfering with Father's plans. But no matter what he did, Roy refused to submit to their plans. Even to the very end, when Riza Hawkeye was bleeding to death, Roy refused to be Father's puppet.

Despite his words, Wrath smiled at seeing Roy's defiance. Maybe he admired Roy for having the determination to take control and responsibility for his fate. It's something Wrath never had.

In the end, the closest he ever came to taking control of his own life was when he chose to fight Scar to the death rather than pursue Hawkeye's team. He reveled in having a fight where no ideals, beliefs, or ego was involved; but when he lost, he remarked that the heavens had forsaken him. So at the last moment, he still never took responsibility for his fate.
