This week's FMA episode has as its main focus Hohenheim. The episode is basically an aglomeration of flashbacks that reveal important parts of the plot and Hohenheim's thoughts shared with us through his dream.
I have to admit, I actually found the episode very interesting, because by interpreting it, we can partially understand Hohenheim's demons, his doubts, and what he's been feeling as he helplessly watched the Hommonculi's plan develop through the years.
The episode's ultimate purpose, in other words, its meaning, was Hohenheim rediscovering his resolve to continue walking towards his objective and him finally realising Humanity's preserverance and struggle is not in vain, through his remembering of all the good times he spent with the people of Resenbool and Trisha.
Fullmetal Achemist 26 ends with him waking up to his newfound resolve as he thanks for everything.
My thoughts: the episode was really symbolic, and very very deep in its meaning and important to the development of Hohenheim's character and I believe it marked a very important step in the story. It somehow felt like I was rewatching all of the hardships the characters went through, and the life lessons contained in every one of their adventures, but I really felt like I understood a bit more of Hohenheim in the end. Summing it up, it was one of my most favorite episodes ever.
