So continuing my lists of my favourite villains from different anime, here, I'm counting down my favourites from Fullmetal Alchemist. I would say, in my opinion, Fullmetal Alchemist doesn't have the most iconic villains ever compared to other anime series like Naruto or Dragon Ball. Still though, that's not to say these characters are bad, they're not, they're just not as famous as many other anime villains out there. Still, though, these villains ARE really good. And so, let's begin and I hope you all enjoy.
10. Sloth: Starting off at number 10 is the Homunculus Sloth. This huge, muscular and kinda lazy Homunculus was put to work by Father to build a tunnel throughout Amestris so he could fulfil his plan. And he was a big problem for Ed and Al when they first met him because he attacked Fort Briggs and they had to team up with Oliver Armstrong and her men in order to stop him. He's also, despite his size and laziness, the fastest Homunculous and the fight with him vs. Alex, Oliver, Izumi and Sig was really awesome.
9. Original Greed: Now, when I say "original" Greed, I'm talking about the Greed that Ed and Al first meet before Ling gets the second version of Greed put inside him. The original was great, this sorta desiring for long-life monster who was trying to get Al to tell him how to transmute a soul was great. They also did a great job of making him do bad things, but, despite that, he never became unlikeable because of how cool he was and how much of a threat he sorta came off as. Especially given his fight with Ed with him causing Ed to lose a lot of blood.
8. Cornello: At number 8 is one of the earlier villains that Ed and Al fought, that being Conello. This huge, power-hungry man was planning to trick his "followers" to do his bidding and use them to make an army. But when Ed and Al arrived, they managed to stop him and, while this did sorta create a riot at Lior, they still managed to help the townspeople and get everything sorted out with everyone helping to rebuild it. And Cornello himself was pretty good considering he was using a Philosopher's Stone as a ring to make whatever he wanted to fight or trick his followers. And I like the fight between him and Ed inside the church when Ed was able to use alchemy to make that God statue punch him really hard. That was awesome.
7. Pride: Continuing with the Homunculi on the list is Pride/Selim. Also known as the first Homunculus, this young looking Homunculus has been around for centuries pretending to be a sweet young boy, when, in actuality, the whole thing has been an act with his intentions being that he was using the people he was with for Father's benefits. And he's great in action scene with using pieces of what look like Father's evolved self as shadow like beings so he's able to attack or do anything like that. He's really cool too and he does a great job with deceiving people and making all seem real.
6. Gluttony:
Next on the list is the big, fat and kinda stupid Homunculus, Gluttony. One of the first Homunculus we see in the series, all he can ever think of is either fulfilling his Father's wishes, and also eating as many people as he can. And as the show progresses, he gets more of a role to do. When Mustang kills Lust, he decided to try to kill him for revenge, he led Al to see Father, he helped Pride find Ed and the others in the forest and then, at the end, he was finally killed by Pride when he absorbed him and took his powers.
5. Kimblee:
So sorta moving away from the Homunculus is Zolf J. Kimblee. Also known as the Crimson Alchemist. This insane, blood thirsty man was in the Ishvalan Civil War using a Philosopher's Stone to demolish anything and he delighted in killing and causing people misery. But after killing a bunch of his own men with it, he was thrown in jail and was there for a while. After a long while, he was released and began to take part in the Homunculi and became part of the search for Scar so he could kill him because he didn't want an Ishvalan to live. He also took part in the mission to guard Ed and Al, but he was really just keeping an eye on them and making sure they didn't get in the way. He used a lot of men from another country to kill them to create a transmutation circle for Father along with attempting to kill Ed. When he thought he did, he left and began to team-up with Pride to capture Al. And, I've gotta say, his "death" scene with Heinkel attacked him was so satisfying. Even if he did help Ed kill Pride, it was still great to see him die.
4. Envy: At number 4 is the shape-shifting Homunculus, Envy. This guy has almost never been a joke. He murdered Hughes, one of the most likeable characters on the show, kidnapped Marcoh with Lust, was the one who began the Ishvalan Civil War and has the ability to take on whosever appearance he wants and can also turn into a humongous monster at will. And at the end when he goes into his true form when fighting Mustang, I honestly don't know how to feel about it. I guess maybe you're supposed to feel sorry for him, but, I don't know. It's kinda hard to tell.
3. Lust:
Next up is probably the most evil Homunculus of them all, Lust. Lust was the very first Homunculus we saw in the series with always looking down on humans and seeing them as violent and fools. She's also, in my opinion, the most violent villain in Fullmetal Alchemist, which is really saying something. But I feel she really is with using he finger blades to kill people like slicing them up or stabbing them anywhere. And, as said by a lot of people, her death is one of, if not mabe, the most satisfying moments in the whole series. Watch.
2. Wrath: Coming in close to number 1 is probably my favourite Homunculus in the show, that being Wrath, also known as Fuhrur King Bradley. This 60 year old man started off as acting like he was a nice, loyal and kind-hearted leader, but, as the show progressed, it was revealed that his real name is Wrath and he was actually a Homunculus. When he was discovered, he becomes scary in a way. And he's a terrific fighter with being really fast and agile for his age. Also, when he was born, he knew nothing about his parents, but he was transformed into a Homunculus when Father placed a Philosopher's Stone inside him. And with that, he's really enjoyable and he's really intimidating.
And my number 1 favourite Fullmetal Alchemist villain is... Father: And finally at number 1 is the main villain of the whole series, Father. Also known as the Dwarf In The Flask. Like I said with Envy, this guy has never been a joke. Sure, there was a quick funny scene when Ed and Al first met him, but, aside from that, this guy means serious business with being the one who created the Homunculi with the plan of becoming the perfect being by absorbing God. And even before doing that, or if he even did in the first place, he was still incredibly powerful with being able to use alchemy without even moving. And even with that, he's super intimidating too. Whenever he intends to kill someone, he does everything he can like when he was fighting Hohenheim. And whenever he tries make Philosopher's Stones out of people, it's the same thing. He's, overall, a super cool villain my personal favourite villain from Fullmetal Alchemist. And so, everyone, those are my top 10 favourite villain from Fullmetal Alchemist.
