“I love how cold and focused your eyes are. Mustang was able to set aside his personal desires to achieve his goals, the very antithesis of what lust is, which is why he overcame Lust the homunculus relatively unscathed whereas Havoc did not. This might be me stretching but I could see this shot of the cigarette being symbolic of this fact, especially since this sort of twisted poetic justice is common in Brotherhood. In other words, he likely won’t be able to have sex ever again.
The fact that he lets his own desires cloud his judgement means that he is guilty of lust.ĭuring their initial fight with Lust, both Havoc and Mustang are pierced with the ultimate spear, however Havoc’s injuries are much more severe: the nerve endings at the bottom of his spine are completely severed and he’s paralysed from the waist down. It’s not a big deal and it’s mostly played out as a gag, but at the same time it gives us an idea of where Havoc’s priorities lie: namely with getting laid rather than helping Mustang fix Amestris. When Mustang tells him to pack his bags and move to central he’s resistant to the idea because it would mean he would have to break up with his girlfriend. Havoc on the other hand absolutely does let his love life get in the way of his work. So Mustang has to ask the question “what’s more important, my personal future or the future of my country?” Mustang is a man on a mission to become the next Fuhrer and undo the damage done by Bradley, so naturally, he puts his country before himself. This is the sort of setting in which office romance is a big no no and would likely result in dismissal 9 times out of 10. So, why don’t they get together at the end of the story? The simple answer here is that they’re coworkers, and not just that but they work for the military. I don’t think it would be an outlandish claim to say that Mustang and Hawkeye care for each other beyond just superior and subordinate, or even just friends. Keep bloodlust in mind because that’s going to be important later.īack to Mustang. This is why the word bloodlust refers to the uncontrollable urge to do pain onto others. That means that eating, drinking, listening to music, watching anime, or smoking can all be considered lustful desires if that’s all you think about. Rather, lust in the traditional sense refers to any pleasures of the body that when overindulged leads to you losing sight of what’s really important (usually God if we’re still talking Christianity). Although commonly associated with sex, lust doesn’t just refer solely to sex. I don’t think the metaphor here will go over anyone’s head so now we can move onto the juicer stuff.Īctually, no, before we go any farther I want to set something straight. Within Christianity it’s often said that the the lustful will be ‘smothered in fire and brimstone’ in hell for all eternity. Let’s deal with the most obvious detail first, namely the method of Lust’s death: burning.

I could probably talk about each of them at length in their own post which is why I'm talking about one that I think is a bit underappreciated and subtle in its approach.Įpisode 19 is amongst my favourite episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood partially because we get to see Mustang go full badass but also because the fight itself is dense with deeper meaning. We have Major Armstrong and Sloth, Scar and Wrath, Edward and Pride.
