For crying out loud...
Why is she telling us to cool our heads here for a while?
Leaving us alone in a place like this won't be any trouble for us anymore.
Being forbidden to use alchemy—
it's like when we were training here that one time, huh?
Do you think that maybe Sensei doesn't feel like we've made any progress at all?
That couldn't be it.
Just a minute! Al! Ed!
Don't get so upset. You'll fall in.
Okay...
Why are you doing this?
That is a good question.
Yeah.
Don't just "yeah" me!
I don't understand the reason why you're leaving the two of them
on an uninhabited island all of a sudden!
It's a good question.
Yeah.
Jeez! What in the world are you thinking?!
This is good to do every now and then.
It's nice to stop and think things over once in a while.
It's something those two need to do right now.
Man cannot obtain anything without first sacrificing something.
In order to obtain anything, something of equal value is required.
That is alchemy's Law of Equivalent Exchange.
At the time, we believed that to be the true way of the world.
Far away, far away, our dreams will never fade
tooku tooku omoi hatenaku
If only the two of us could go back to
futari ga mujaki ni waratteta
the days when we laughed so innocently
ano koro ni modoreru nara
the days when we laughed so innocently
ano koro ni modoreru nara
Just like glassware
konagona ni kudaketa
that has been smashed to pieces,
glass-zaiku no you na
we're putting together the fragments of our memories
omoide no kakera o atsumeteru
It's the important things that you notice
daiji na mono wa itsudatte
It's the important things that you notice
daiji na mono wa itsudatte
once you've lost them
nakushite kara kizuku yo
Oh, please, oh, please, stop time for me,
douka douka jikan o tomete
and engrave the way you look right now into my heart
kimi no omokage o kono mune ni kizandekure
And if, and if, I were ever allowed to,
moshimo moshimo yurusareru nara
I would be willing to sacrifice everything
subete o gisei ni shitemo ii
just to see that smiling face one more time
ano egao o mou ichido
One Is All, All Is One
Al...
Should we run away?
We can't! After all, I can't swim!
Come to think of it, neither can I.
That's right. We're not the same as we used to be.
Not us.
This is fun, huh, Brother?
Sure is. It's been a long time since we've been out sightseeing like this.
Sightseeing?
That's rich!
Here, take this.
A knife?
This is an uninhabited island, after all.
No electricity, no wells, no houses to shelter you from the rain,
and no wild animals... at least, probably not.
For one month, you two are to survive by yourselves on this island.
Oh, and during that time, the use of alchemy is prohibited.
What is this?!
I'll come to pick you up in one month.
J-Just a sec!
One is all, all is one.
If you don't find the answer in one month,
I'm sending you back to Resembool.
See ya!
One is all, all is one.
We understand it now, but at the time...
Yeah. We didn't have a clue what she was saying—not at the time.
One is all, all is one.
Good grief, that auntie has given us homework that doesn't make sense.
One is all, all is one. What could it mean?
Is it a riddle? I don't get it at all.
But unless we give her an answer in a month, we won't get any real training.
Aw, jeez! How is this supposed to be alchemy training?!
That auntie tricked us!
Let's go to sleep.
How about we get up early tomorrow and find some food?
Mm-hmm.
Al? You going to the bathroom?
What is it, Brother? You can use the bathroom by yourself...
You idiot! Open your eyes!
Get out!
You've gotta be kidding! If we run, then our training will be—
Brother!
Damn!
Al!
Damn...
Al!
Run!
Okay!
Now what? Don't get lost on me, Al...
I don't taste good!
Brother, it's me!
Al! Thank goodness! I thought I'd lost you!
It's a fox.
Ah, there's two of them.
How'd it go?
We've got dinner!
Make sure to dry off, or else you'll rust.
Right.
Who was that man?! I'm scared! I'm scared to death!
And she said there were no wild animals here!
There's something even worse than wild animals here!
What should we do?
What can we do?
It's another month before they're coming for us.
For the time being, we can't fight on empty stomachs.
You did it!
We've got food!
We can catch it with the right kind of trap!
So...
How do we eat it?
We stick it!
We stick it?
You'll have to do it.
No! Brother, you do it! I've never killed an animal before.
Neither have I!
That's not fair! You always force me to do the things you don't want to!
I what?!
Hold it!
You're not getting away from us!
Brother!
Are you okay? You're hurt pretty bad!
That damned fox!
Where'd he go? That bastard!
Brother!
It has children.
I wonder if she's their mother.
Mm-hmm.
Let's give up on meat and go for fish...
I wonder if you can eat fox...
Take it easy.
Got one!
Fire!
Food!
We humbly partake!
All right!
Brother...
What's the matter?
Yow!
Just come with me.
Ow-ow-ow!
What is this?
Don't give me "what is this?"
Don't dig right in just because you're hungry!
It wasn't me.
But...
Your handprint is right here.
Take a close look.
This is a right hand.
Sure enough, someone's here.
Here? You don't mean...
It's possible that Sensei brought them here for the same reason.
Brother, where are you going?
Let's go check around. We'll find something to eat while we're at it, too.
There's no way we're giving up! Twenty-eight more days!
Say...
What did we come here for, again?
Beats me...
What would happen if we died here?
No way...
Winry and Grandma would grieve for us.
There's still a lot of things I want to do.
All of this... What does it have to do with alchemy?!
I've had enough! I want to go home!
Where is he?
This guy...
I found some food for Brother.
Brother!
Come look!
Brother? I wonder what's the matter...
You called, Al?
Brother!
Then who was that just now?
Why, you!
A cicada?
I get it...
It's dead...
Death...
When you die,
this is what happens...
Let go of Al...
Let go of Al!
We talked about what would happen if we died here, remember?
Mm-hmm. Everyone would grieve.
Um, that's the subjective part.
Looking at it objectively,
if I died, the world would keep on going as if nothing had happened.
Your existence is a tiny one.
Don't call me small!
Ee-yow!
Well, if I, with my small existence, were to die, my body would still remain.
Water, carbon, ammonia, lime,
phosphorous, saltpeter, salt, sulfur, magnesium, fluorine, manganese, and aluminum, right?
Right.
That and a handful of other elemental compounds are all that I am, right?
My body, I mean.
After all, I'm fated to be broken down by bacteria
and become nourishment for plants.
But then those plants will raise grazing animals...
And the grazing animals will feed carnivorous animals...
Without even being aware of it, we naturally go on circulating.
I'm sorry about this.
There's a giant flow that we can't see with our eyes.
Whether you call it the universe, or the world, I don't know,
but, Al, you and I are one little part within the larger flow.
One within all.
However, all of the ones have to come together for the all to exist.
The world follows the flow of greater laws that we can't even imagine.
We learn that flow, break it down, and reconstruct it.
And that's alchemy.
Thirty days!
We've got breakfast!
It is the appointed day.
One is all, all is one. Let's hear your answer.
"All" is the world!
"One" is me!
Very well.
We'll move on to real training.
All right!
I guess that guy isn't here after all.
That's okay, isn't it? We more or less got what Sensei was trying to tell us.
Mm-hmm.
Back then,
we arrived at the answer.
But still, that alone wasn't enough.
The truth is, back then,
we should have realized that transmuting Mom was a mistake.
It could be that everything we're about to do is, as well.
I'm sure Sensei would agree.
Have you remembered?
Yes.
Do you realize it?
Um, Sensei, what you're trying to tell us is...
It's true that we did try to transmute our mom.
The way we are now is the outcome of that.
However, that is precisely why we want to get everything back.
You intend to get back through error that which you lost through error?
Maybe it is wrong of us...
But...
if that's the case,
what are we supposed to do?
We're going to move forward.
We are...
still alive, after all.
And that's enough?
Yes!
In that case...
Is someone there?
What are you talking about?
Hasn't someone been living on this island since long ago?
You think it could be that masked man from before?
That couldn't be. The reason being, that was me.
Wh-What do you mean?!
Just in case, I had him keep watch, since I couldn't let you die on me.
S-So then...!
Apparently, that doesn't seem to be the case here.
On the day you left,
kimi ga tabidatsu hi wa
I said good-bye and waved, like always
itsumo to onaji 'jaa ne' to te o futta
Almost as if I would see you again
maru de ashita mo mata
in this town tomorrow
kono machi de au mitai ni
To believe in love
ai o shinjiru no wa
To believe in love
ai o shinjiru no wa
is to not give up on yourself
jibun ni mo makenai koto
And until the day my dream comes true,
yume ga kanau hi made
I will be here with a smile as I look up at the stars,
egao no mama hoshi o mite inori sasage
offering up a prayer
koko ni iru kara
I want to be the sky for you,
watashi wa kimi ni totte no sora de itai
I want to be the sky for you,
watashi wa kimi ni totte no sora de itai
I want to be the sky for you,
watashi wa kimi ni totte no sora de itai
I want to be the sky for you,
watashi wa kimi ni totte no sora de itai
bundling you up, sorrows and all,
kanashimi made mo tsutsumikonde
so that you know, whenever you look up, that you are not alone,
itsudemo miageru toki wa hitori ja nai to
so that you know, whenever you look up, that you are not alone,
itsudemo miageru toki wa hitori ja nai to
even when you're far away,

and that you have a place to come home to
kaeru basho de aru you ni
and that you have a place to come home to

The Untainted Child
Episode 29: "The Untainted Child"
Brother, I saw it—
the old scar on his shoulder.
