But now we're wondering how he can drive a car without crushing it Once again, Envy is rather like another homunculus: Wrath. Envy is a vicious bully, and he loves to torment others in all kinds of ways. This even includes psychological warfare, such as when he assumed Gracia Hughes' form pictured to assassinate Maes Hughes. Envy was also pretty rough when he and Lust met Ed in Lab 5, and Envy had fun killing off the armored brothers there, despite Ed's protests. In his final battle, Envy swore that he would "repay" Roy, Ed, and the others for his defeat up north, and we can't even imagine the kind of torture he had in mind.
The homunculi in Fullmetal Alchemist have all kinds of real-world tie-ins, and allusions to classic art and literature, such as Dante's The Divine Comedy. This includes the seven deadly sins, such as Envy and covetousness. In this case, in Dante's poem, the envious had their eyes sewn shut in punishment, so they could lo longer look upon other people and things to covet. Meanwhile, Envy the homunculus suffered repeated attacks to the eyeballs while fighting Roy Mustang.
While Envy is a capable fighter and he has the inherent regeneration of all homunculi, he tends to get pretty sloppy. Envy has arrogant pride to rival, well, Pride's, but he can't back it up as well. More than once, Envy loses a fight that he might have won if he took his opponents more seriously and recognized their potential. For example, he was helpless when fighting May and Edward up north, and he fell for May's alkahestry circles under the snow. What is interesting about the seven homunculus siblings is that while they are all distinct entities, they are ultimately one and the same, the same failing of the human spirit.
Envy, therefore, shares some traits with the others, such as Greed. This is only natural, since the only reason a person will envy another's possessions or status is because they greedily want it all for themselves. Similarly, we could say that Greed the homunculus envied Alphonse's immortal armor body. What episode in full metal alchemist brotherhood does ed die? What episode does lust die fullmetal alchemist?

Especially that you have took your time to Analyse the deaths and the 7 sins. Awesome job fully.
Thank you for putting your time towards this and sharing. I always thought that since Father through away all the other Sins, he was left with the last which most represented himself.
To be unwilling to live up to being your very best self. You missed out on the fact that in every fight Wrath wins, he is attacked first his opponents acting upon their own wrath , the wounds he takes and the eventual loss of his life come from times when he indulges his own wrath.
I find it interesting to look further at Sloth and his writing. Perhaps its ironic that his character is written just as lazily as his namesake….
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was the second anime I saw, and it is the second best after Death Note. I love Greed because both he and Ling Yao are so cool , and his sacrifice definitely adds to his awesomeness. I cannot think of the Seven Deadly Sins or Homunculi anymore without thinking about this anime. You explained each sin and character very well. Thank you for such an interesting and informative article. As a man who so vehemently hated what religion did to people, he died by what seemed as an act of God.
Do not rely on this figure you call God. And, it juts so happens that the reason light reflected from his sword and blinded him temporarily is because of the eclipse: a common event linked to religion. So the man who hates the symbolism behind God was, literally, blinded by wrath and killed at the hands of a higher being. It had war, politics, heroism, magic alchemy , humanity etc.

Envy The next Homunculus to die in the series is Envy. Thus, the death of Envy. Sloth Sloth is casually defined as laziness, but there is a deeper meaning too. So, how does Sloth die? Wrath Wrath is defined as intense anger; most especially, anger for the wrong reasons.
The death of Wrath, however, is interestingly ironic, much like the death of Lust. Thus, the battle is between an ex-murderer, and the personification of the sin of wrath. Greed The last Homunculus to die is Greed. Because all he ever wanted was friends. The last Homunculus dies as a friend to the heroes…because they are his friends too.
