QUICK TAKES

Le donne di Fullmetal Alchemist, ma in generale le donne marchio Arakawa sono donne fiere e forti!

Fateci caso anche nelle altre opere, sono sempre donne che non devono dipendere da un maschio! penso che il background della campagna di sapporo (luogo d'origine dell'autrice) è ben impresso!

you really think greed is tough until bradley shows up and just dismantles his whole squad without breaking a sweat

king bradley going home to his wife after murdering martel inside alphonse was the most chilling thing ever

akkorokamui_angel

I can not believe the fuhrer is actually a homunculus and he is so fast it is terrifying to watch him kill everyone

jugrad_juggernaut_482

my stomach turned when martel got stabbed inside the armor and al had to just sit there with her blood everywhere

When Bradley ripped open his eye and those swords started flying, I genuinely gasped – I didn't see him being Wrath coming at all. He's just been the chill Führer this whole time, and then suddenly he's this terrifying, inhumanly fast monster; it totally changes how I view all his previous appearances.

Watching Al struggle while Martel was being killed inside his armor was the hardest thing to sit through, but then seeing him regain his memories through that trauma was such a heavy moment. I was not expecting Father to show up so soon and seeing him just casually reabsorb Greed after everything that happened at the Devil’s Nest was chilling

vile_tyrant_juju

I still cannot believe King Bradley is actually a homunculus and seeing him move that fast against Greed was absolutely terrifying

Martel dying inside the armor like that was so messed up and you could tell Alphonse was completely broken by it

Roy Mustang precisely targeting Envy and then giving him that giant afro was a hilarious break from all the intensity and seeing him use his flames that way was great

giorno_giovanna_197

Watching Bradley kill Martel while she was still inside the armor was actually horrific and you can tell how much it messed Alphonse up to feel that happen right against his soul

The speed Bradley used to take down Greed was unbelievable and it really puts into perspective how dangerous the military leadership actually is when they stop pretending to be human

asuka_langley_181

The way Bradley just chopped up everyone was crazy and the eye under his patch looked so menacing

That eyepatch reveal really changed everything because the Fuhrer was the last person expected to be a villain

tanuki_trickster_41

That cow dancing during the credits was a good way to end things after seeing Greed get melted down

toshiro_tempest_105

I really felt bad for Martel because getting stabbed inside the armor while Al just watched was so messed up

I did not think Greed would go out that fast and seeing him get melted down into that wine glass was the most brutal thing I have seen in this show so far

shion_secretary

Greed getting melted down by his own father is a cold way to go and I really liked his personality

It was so hard to watch Al struggle when Martel got stabbed, but seeing his memories of the gate finally come back makes the whole tragedy feel even more messed up for him

gen_gunpowder_159

Seeing Roy use his fire just to mess with Envy was such a change from how dark the rest of the episode got with Martel dying

EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off the Dublith encounters where Ed and Al crossed paths with Greed and his chimera allies, this episode escalates that conflict to a brutal climax while exposing critical truths about the power structures hiding in plain sight. It marks a turning point roughly one-quarter into the series, shifting the tone from episodic discovery toward a larger, more interconnected conspiracy. The fallout here directly sets the stage for 'Envoy From the East,' which introduces new players and launches the next phase of the brothers' journey.
