Would the first anime Sloth be really powerful in the Brotherhood universe?
Let's assume that instead of "The Fastest Honunculus"Sloth, Father made "Liquid" Sloth instead.
How would she be combated in this universe? Now, this Sloth is still just like in the original anime; the only difference is that she is powered by a Philosopher's Stone instead of Red stones.
Sloth is made out of water. This means that she can't be hurt by bullets which we saw in the first anime. Let's see the other homunculi.
Lust: We saw Lust attack Sloth in the first anime. Lust was able to pierce and slash Sloth but because Sloth is made out of water, Lust couldn't literally damage Sloth. During this point, Sloth vomited all her red stones out meaning she had 1 life left, her own, and Lust couldn't kill her.
Gluttony: Well, he could swallow her up, I suppose. But he's the weakest homunculus, and everybody can kick his butt. So no problems for Sloth.
Envy: Well, he could squish her. But she's made out of water. So like with Lust, Envy can't damage Sloth.
Greed: Same thing. He can Ultimate Shield claw her, but no damage to Sloth.
Wrath: Same as Lust. Wrath can slice and slash Sloth all he wants, but she's made out of water.
Pride: Can his shadows eat, or should I say, drink Sloth? His shadows can't really hurt Sloth.
It seems that none of the homunculi can effectively damage Sloth. At best, they can disturb her form, and being made out of water, she can just reform herself and that won't use up any energy of her Philosopher's stone. Only Gluttony has a chance to defeat Sloth.
I suppose this is because Sloth is entirely made out of a different state of matter. The rest of the homunculi are Solid, while Sloth is Liquid. You can't hurt a liquid.
Now for the alchemists, we know how Edward originally defeated Sloth. He turned her into ethanol and she evaporated into the air. But would this possible in the Brotherhood universe? If Ed accomplishes this, wouldn't Sloth's Philosopher Stone just heal and make a new liquid body? After all, like with Lust, Sloth's philosopher stone would be her core.
Alphonse would face the same problems as Edward since they are pretty equal in alchemy. Although, Alphonse should technically know more than Edward since he saw more of Truth, but that never went up to anything in Brotherhood, so I suppose, this point is moot.
Roy Mustang can burn Sloth with his flames. But Hawkeye, in the first anime, said that Sloth is made out of water so Roy's flame alchemy is useless against her. So, Mustang is out.
Scar, May Cheng, Izumi, Armstrong would face similar problems like Edward and Alphonse.
Dr. Marcoh might be able to destroy Sloth's Philosopher's Stone. He's good.
Overall, it seems Sloth would be extremely difficult to damage in the Brotherhood Universe. It seems that on the homunculus side, that only Gluttony can beat Sloth, but since Gluttony fails a lot, Sloth would win first.
On the good guy side, Dr. Marcoh can oneshot her like with Envy.
Yep. It seems only Dr. Marcoh has the best and possibly only attack that can defeat Liquid Sloth.
Wow!!! First Anime Sloth would be a beast in the Brotherhood Universe.
