Truth Full Metal Alchemist. The Truth is an enigmatic, metaphysical being who appears when a person attempts Human Transmutation. Seeing Human Transmutation as an unfair exchange according to the equivalent exchange laws of Alchemy, Truth will bring the alchemist into the Gate and forceably take their most valued attribute, or something of value that represents their anticipated relationship to the person they are trying to create or resurrect. Truth will accept otherwise impossible exchanges when a Philosopher's Stone is used, as it or part of it will be used for the exchange instead. As a negative version or "conscience" of the alchemist who performed Human Transmutation, Truth is perceived by the finite human mind as punishing them for "Playing God".

As a "God", or "the Universe", Truth embodies the universe, serves as both a deity and Monad for it, and also represents the consciousnesses and consciences of living things. Truth oversees everything in the universe, and regulates all Alchemic exchanges in the world. Aside from humans, all living things possess their own Gate of Truth, through which they can see Truth (or, speculatively, their own cognitive perceptions of the actual Truth that their limited 3- dimensional intelligences make up in a vain attempt to comprehend Truth).

In the series, the Gaea hypothesis is proven by Father, and Father subsequently reveals that heavenly bodies, like planets and stars, also have their own Gates since they are "life forms". Depiction. Truth is depicted as a white, featureless version of whomever passes through the Gate; this is because truth serves as one's own conscience. Truth can be seen being in possession of items that it took from the Alchemist when they opened the Gate.

In Edward's case, Truth appears as a featureless young boy, but later possesses Edward's arm and leg which were paid as an equivalent exchange for seeing Truth, and getting Alphonse's soul back. In Alphonse's case, Truth possesses his entire body, and appears as such.

Due to their relative appearance, when Edward and Alphonse Elric each appeared before the Gate, Truth vaguely resembled a young boy and when Izumi Curtis appeared, Truth's shape reflected that of a young woman. It appeared as a vigorous man to Roy Mustang, and when the Dwarf in the Flask entered the Gate, he appeared as the Dwarf's original form when he lived in the flask. Role. Manga and 2. Anime.

Truth introduces themselves as the being some people call God, the World or the Universe, at first seemingly welcoming and jovial to its guests before calling attention to their hubris and opening the Gate, which has forced them inside earlier and now forces them outside. The Gate is always opened through human transmutation, and Truth takes a toll. Due to Edward Elric opening the gate in an attempt to bring his mother back through human transmutation, Truth takes Edward's left leg and his brother Alphonse. Both had encountered him as they were forced to pay their tolls. Though Truth appears in Edward's dreams, mocking him, Truth's next true appearance is in Chapter 5.

Edward crosses to the true Gate from inside Gluttony's internal imitation. Truth appears amused that Edward has not come to retrieve anything that he lost on that day four years ago. Interestingly, Truth does not seem to appear before Edward as he discovers Alphonse's Gate and the body that sits before it, but - as the body speaks to him even while its soul is in the mortal plane - it is likely that what Edward sees and speaks to is Truth speaking through Alphonse's body, especially since the body is seated in the same manner as Truth whenever it appears. Izumi Curtis attempted to bring back her stillborn child through human transmutation, and Truth took some of her internal organs, presumably including part of her reproductive system, leaving her incapable of ever becoming pregnant again and with chronic haematemesis. It is unconfirmed if Hohenheim ever saw the Gate, but it can be presumed that his alchemy technique that doesn't even require the normal hand gesture of clapping one's hands together is obtainable by paying an even greater toll upon reaching the gate, letting him see even more of the Truth beyond it. Roy Mustang, who was forced to open the gate by Pride (with the aid of Wrath). Regardless of this conscious decision to not perform human transmutation, Truth still had him pay the toll by taking his sight.

It is imperative to note, however, that Truth also took away most of Pride's strength (or souls that make up his Stone), as Pride used himself as the human transmutation circle, and this may have contributed towards the toll that was paid for opening Mustang's Gate. Unlike the Elric brothers, Mustang went through with the choice to use a Stone as a replacement for his toll. In Chapter 1. 02, Father discusses the irony behind the works of the 'Truth', who took Ed's way to 'stand by himself' and his 'only family', Al's body so he 'cannot feel the mother's warmth as he craved', Izumi's 'capacity to nurture the seed of life' and, now, with Mustang 'depriving the man who had a grand vision to save his country of his eyesight, denying him to see what his beloved nation will become'. In Father's perspective, the Truth is cruel and sadistic, whose only ambition is to make people suffer. In Chapter 1. 07, Truth appears once more before Alphonse once his body and soul are finally reunited.

Truth returns Edward's arm in exchange for Alphonse's soul, and questions the younger Elric if his brother will return for him and what he'll sacrifice. In Chapter 1. 08, Truth appears before Father and mocks him for trying to claim the power of God for himself. It then banishes Father to depths of the Gate, where he had presumably come from. Truth also appears before Ed and asks what he'll give up in order to bring back Alphonse. Edward confidently declares the loss of his Alchemic powers as his toll. Truth seems a little startled by this and asks if Ed will be all right without alchemy. Watch Fools Putlocker. Watch The Babadook Online (2017).

When Ed says he will because he still has his friends, Truth gives him a friendly smile, declaring Ed's victory over it, and fades away along with Ed's gate, rendering Ed unable to use Alchemic powers for the rest of his life. Concept & Symbolism According to Father, Truth's sense of toll payment is often based on dramatic irony, oddly unfitting of Equivalent Exchange, which Truth upholds. Edward had to pay the leg he stood on and the only family he recognized as having left. He then paid his right arm to get Alphonse's soul 'back', which Truth recognized as an equivalent exchange, as one could consider Alphonse being Ed's 'right- hand man', if you will. Alphonse's soul was not used as payment, however, as it was affixed to the result of their human transmutation, which means that his body contributed to the toll. This can be interpreted as its own punishment in multiple ways, such as taking away his sense of touch and cutting him off from other peoples' warmth, or thinking along the same lines, making him become their failed creation and thereby an abomination no one wants to associate with.

Izumi lost the ability to conceive at all through permanent scarring of her insides, depriving her even further of her 'motherhood'. The irony in Mustang's case would be that he would not be able to 'see' the future he would make for Amestris if he were to become Führer.

Cassini's 'Inside Out' Movie From Within Saturn's Rings Will Make You Emotional. On September 1. 5th, Cassini’s 2.

Saturnian system will finally—regrettably—come to an end. But even in its final act, the spacecraft has been sending back some of the most detailed images it’s ever taken. In one of its recent dives into the gap between Saturn and its rings, the spacecraft took a sequence of photos that offer an striking and unusual view of Saturn’s main rings—and now it’s a mini- movie. According to NASA, Cassini took 2. August 2. 0th. Due to the vantage point of the wide- angle camera, it’s a bit tough to make out each of the big rings, but the most dedicated among us can see the ghostly C ring and brilliant B ring. An especially astute viewer will also notice the Cassini Division, or the 3,0. Saturn’s A and B rings.

Here’s a detailed walk- through that explores the location of each ring and their individual properties.) And no, you may not name your band “Cassini Division” because that’s what I’m calling my space goth Joy Division cover band. It’s hard to look at the movie—or any of Cassini’s hauntingly beautiful images—and not think of something appropriately morose for its Grand Finale. I personally recommend syncing this video with the “Tears in the Rain” monologue from Blade Runner. Hopefully, these last few weeks of Cassini’s life will be its most memorable—we’ll be sad to see it go.
