Wtf is going on? Now they're telling me that Holhenheim is really a good person, lol. So he has an immortal body, I wonder how he got that. He went away, why did he? To search for a way to kill his immortal body? Wow this is getting intense. I wonder what are those words he said in the beginning of the episode.

Okay so Raven is dead. One central officer is down although I doubt that it matters since the one in charge is that invincible guy called father anyways. Also, who was that guy that killed the platoon down the tunnel? Was it Pride?

Anyways, now I see how they do it in Briggs. It'll be great if they joined forces with the Eastern army.

Seriously? You guys thought this episode was that great? Nothing happened. One little reveal and that was it. My god I don't know if this series is worth watching anymore for five minutes of awesomeness.

I liked very much the background of Hohenheim. Raven getting sliced was nice too, I detested him at the moment he turned out to be traitor. I hope we're getting some focus on Mustang and the geezer. Even though I don't really like Mustang I don't like this frozen land either.

Hohenheim's backstory was great. I wonder what he is... I mean, he doesn't age! The rest of the episode was just as EPIC. Oliver killing Raven was amazing, and really the best move she could make. Because that was a hell of a dilemma. But that thing in the tunnel... What the heck was that?!

I find this comment so ridiculous. I for one am glad that it's taking a more slow pace and developing the story.

i love the backstory they put with Hohenheim :P

i do wonder why he hit himself in the first scene :\

he wasn't as heartless compared for the first season.

and he actually cried in the photo :(

so he is immortal huh? i wonder if it's the same as the first season



so he realized what "Father" planned all along??

so that's why he warned Pinako to leave this country.

so he actually fixed the swing ;)

so he was about to cry when he sees their faces, and tried to brush it off by looking angry to them.

big mistake though :(

woah what kind of Homunculus was that O___O

ahaha Olivier really wants to gut Raven when he touched her hands XD

so Sloth went underground.

finally Raven dies, that stupid bastard.

there cut your left arm and die by the cement.

screw you for thinking like Olivier's men are pawns.

became a foundation of this base you bastard.

wow Miles really really wants to punch Kimblee :P

Winry is here!!

damn that King Bradley

haha Hawkeye must be piss to see Roy and Vanessa like that XD

so Olivier contacted Roy huh?

funny she didn't care him when they discussed him in the underground last episode XD

gonna be amazing these next episodes!!!!

Even if i didn't know the manga i would think that taking the hostage to the Elric brothers was no clever move. A hostage is worth more if she is not in the vicinity of those you are blackmailing.

Yeah I also don't understand why they always have to bring her out in front of them. I mean they are fully aware that she is a hostage that could be killed at any time when King Bradley wants to. That's also the reason they tricked Raven.
I know Winry had to come to Briggs sooner or later to adjust Ed's automail but she didn't have to be brought in as a hostage.

Anyway I quite liked the flashback with the Elric brothers father, shows a more emotional side too him and reveals why he did leave his family (to gain a human body)

I also liked that part best in this episode, but i doubt he left his family to gain a human body. That was his plan at first yes but in scene where he is in his office i think he realized what is other self is up to (brother maybe) and then leaves to do something against it. That's what i think at least.

I love General Armstrong. Literally love her.

"You're to be a foundation of the State" Well played indeed.

Poor WInry being used as a hostage. The Elric brothers need to get her out of the country ASAP.

I like Hhh, I feel bad for him, too bad Trisha can't last long enough, and now Ed dislike him.. I hope they clear out their misunderstanding. I have a feeling there will be a bloodshed here in that base, to advance the plot.. that would be sad..

Lol this ^. I thought that was Envy too. Man, Ed and Al gotta tell Winry what's up so that she can be alert too.

Well well, seems like Roy's buying all those flowers for Armstrong nee-san. Paying a visit to the North soon?

Does no one honestly understand how much I hate Winry? She's so useless, she fits the stereotypical anime girl who always gets in the way for everything.
Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!

Hohenheim is one of my favourite characters in this series, and the one that I really want a happy ending for. What an unhappy man. Who can also do really cool stuff. It's just tragic that the only family photo he has caught him crying in probably one of the only times in his life
Also that opening scene with him digging into his chest against a blue sky was striking

Olivia was a lot of bark before this episode and now we see some bite. I was impressed. She's stone cold.

Raven had that coming, but drowning in concrete was brutal. Of course Winry is being used against Ed and Al again, nooooo. I guess Kimblee will be the antagonist for the duration of the time that Ed and Al spend in the north?

Also, more mystery to the enigma that is Hohenheim. Looking forwards to learning more about him.

Good to see a bit more of Ed's dad.
That's a nice way to kill someone haha, Mira did a great job.
Kimblee is really smart, decided to bring Winry so he can show the boys that they have the power over them.

Every episode new twists and new interesting things that happen. Mira is so badass, I saw that coming with Raven. But it's good that he's out of the way. Lol when she said "Make the ground really even" :D

Now Kimblee is the main enemy for the the Elric brothers and Mira Armstrong. I didn't expect that Winry would appear. But I'm also sure that it's not a good idea to threaten Ed and Al with Winry as a hostage in front of them.

And of course at the end the thing Mustang and all these information he got even from the old woman with the flowers was perfect. "I think I will buy all of your flowers" :P


PS: Now at the beginning you could finally see which art of person Hohenheim is. Immortal body and then you wish you could get old and die with your family. Omg and the photo where he's crying ;_;

So Winry's in the North now hey.. I'm a bit confused, so why was she exactly sent up to the North? Like I know she was a hostage the whole time, but like does this mean that Bradley knew that Ed and Al told/were going to tell Olivier the truth? Orrrrrrr
