| I actually miss the old opening/ending to be honest (they were pretty catchy). Anyways, great episode. Saw through Ed's acting very easily... xD |
 |
| One of the better subplots of this series has been the Winry/Scar dynamic and this episode really played that well. Actually, I'd say Winry may be my favorite FMA character as she isn't content to just sit back and let the brothers do every thing and, despite the fact that she can't really do much against the forces against them, at least she tries to be helpful and doesn't just sit and whine like a lot of characters in her situation probably would. |

| Awesome new OP and ED my favs until now! Really great episode overall the ending was quite interesting with father placing those pawns on each point... Hopefully Al will make it... |
 |
| i knew Ed would put an act since he did not once shout at Scar. despite the sins Scar made, he can definitely be understandable and trusted. if only he said to winry that he was overcome by hatred and mental breakness. Zampano and Jero can be trusted after all :D so this is actually a different coal mind huh?? Yoki you sly :P of course you know the coal mines ^^ yeah im glad Winry said she's tired of Ed and Al deciding for everything. finally she herself making a stand. yeah the blizzard is awfully a good thing :P Scar must have realized what he's master said huh?? poor May chang needing to return to his people :( and wow it seems Briggs has been taken over huh? damn kimblee!!!! there is some good use of not feeling anything afterall huh?? i think the reason why Al's body appeared is because his old body is deteriorating by the second(it's much worse than when Ed saw) "father" measuring the sacrifices huh? Ed and Al, Hohenheim, Izumi and probably Scar or Roy?? love the new OP/ED especially the ED :) hope we see more Roy action as well as Armstrong and Izumi!!! |
| With those dolls Father reminded me a bit of |
 |
| This new opening lacks smt. Last one was better. Now,Scar is our new ally. What a relief !! I think they shouldn't trust the kimeras so quickly. Al and his body scene was quite a strange one. New ending.. Liked it. |
| Winry is a great character. With the little power she has, she tries to positively impact the outcome of this struggle. Those 2 guys changed sides rather quickly! |

| I like this op better |
| i really like riza's tattoos |

But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| fuck that Kimblee is one clever bastard... and that "father" is planning something again... I really want to know whats his relationship with Hohenheim and why the fuck they look exactly the same,. |
 |
| I really like Miles, so I hope nothing bad happens to him. |
| Meh episode, unbearable first half. I didn't like the second half too, other than the part with Al and his body, and also the "Father". I guess the pawns are those who've seen the "Truth" of the world. |

| The change of the OP and ED is really refreshing. The previous ones really sucked, two minutes of just Winry, torture at its finest. There was a secret plan all along, even non-manga readers saw it coming. During the scene where Al was showing the chimeras his body, Ed's face was priceless! It read 'I've seen this scene too many times". Also, I've finally cracked the code about Miles' voice actor! It's Zoro out of One Piece! It's been killing me because I couldn't recognise it but during the gruffy voice scenes, Zoro's image just popped into my head. I'm really glad I'm going to be seeing more of Izumi, hopefully a lot more! |

| Next episode's gonna be interesting. |
| I'm a bit confused over a potential plot hole. At the beginning of this episode the 2 mutants talk as if they are stuck in their deformed bodies but then moments later they changed back to their human forms. What are they complaining about? Why do they speak as if they can't go back to normal? Just don't transform haha Would be greatly appreciated if someone could explain. |

Ssjbryando said: One part about the story telling really really bothers me for a short while now. That is between Scar and Winry. If ONLY Scar told winry that the reason he killed her parents, was because he was scared as hell. his country and family just got wiped like 10 minutes ago, by those (americans? Forgot the name) and he wakes up looking at his arm thinking his brother made it, than realizes that his brother is not here, and that the brother cut his arm off and gave it to him. The only thing he than sees is more of those americans (w/e lol) and gets scared, which is perfectly understandable, seeing as they just destroyed his family and the whole damn town. So he stabbed them. Done. Tbh, I don't even think hes at the wrong here. Ok I would be sorry as well about killing her parents, but they put the blame 100% on Scar which kinda annoys me : There goes meh rantz : P Nice ep though. I don't give a damn how scared he was. If it were my parents I would still despise his guts. Really not digging this cliche forgiveness theme, sometimes you just need some unidealistic, gritty realism... |
| I liked the old opening more |
 |
| Nice, a new OP and ED and both are good! Good episode, I should have known that Winry wasn't actually kidnapped and it was a new plan. I hope Al can reach them before they reach Briggs. Olivier going to central can't be good. |
| The new OP/ED are pretty cool, Pride all over it. Their plan was pretty good, no one would think Winry is with Scar for her own will. |
 |
| Episode that in large part, wasting time on the explanations given in flashbacks, but fortunately, the narrative takes the great and in the end there is an unexpected event, promo final really interesting. The new opening and ending, are not bad. |
 |
| Hmm the episode was most of the time the explaining of the plan with Scar, Winry, the Elric brothers, Miles and the Chimeras. It's that they build a group, but it got really bad with the relocation of Mira. Now they ran into the enemies from central. The worst would be if they get the manuscript. At this point it would be over. Hopefully Al can reach Winrys group to let them know whats going on in Briggs. PS: the new OP and ED are good :) |

| I agree with Miles in this one, i couldn't care less for those 2 chimeras lol |
 |
| Really liked this episode! |
| Winry is something else to be willing to go with her parent's murderer. Al's soul is finally rejecting the suit. He is in trouble. And it looks like the circle needs one more pawn. I wonder who that will be. If Izumi Curtis is a subject then he must be pulling from people who have seen the gate. Nobody else in the known series has seen the gate besides the 4 characters who are already sacrifices. So one more is needed. |
 |
| Op is okay. And Winry is so cool in this ep. She's able to realize what matter most in the situation she was in. I think she somehow trusted in Scar character when he answered "no matter what I say, it'll only be an excuse, the fact is I killed Rockbells..." . She thinks scar will contribute something better cuz it's the life her parent saved. She trusted her instincts, planned to go with Scar, even treated his wound. Of course Kimblee got tricked. Dang she is clever, beautiful and nice. Remind me of someone who's gonna post here soon..doki doki ♥ But man, I hope the kind-hearted Al would be okay though. His soul is rejecting the suit in the bilzzard strom. Nice persons are gettting picked on all the time in both irl and anime. |
  "Self respect is the greatest gift we can give to our self" |
| so ed, al, and the teacher are all indeed planning to be sacrificed to something, but to what? |
| I liked the previous OP, but this one is not bad - in fact it's very good. I guess I need to get used to it. To be honest, more and more I watch it, more and more I enjoy it. New ending, on the other hand, I see as a better one compared to the one from before. About this episode, Winry allied with Scar, chimera guys allied with Elric brothers... cool! I like that kind of unexpected moments, where many different people from many different factions join their forces to achieve common goal. |
| Scar had become an ally thanks to Winry showing her determination to endure through the fact that she's unable to kill her parents' killer to end the chain of hatred. It just shows that was done cannot be forgiven but the world remains in motion regardless of that. The chimeras also joined the party after they were convinced by Alphonse's inspiring speech about going back to their old bodies so they can face their loved ones again. Yoki's really useful when it comes to mine-related things. Even if they had flawlessly executed their escape plan, it turns out that Kimblee was one step ahead of them by calling in a lot of soldiers from Central HQ to go to Briggs and summoning Armstrong to leave her post. Their situation only got more difficult when Alphonse had discovered that his soul is finally starting to get pulled back by his body into the realm of the Gate of Truth. |
 |
| I don't really like the new opening but new ending is really good |
 |
| The OP and ED are great. That's all I want to say for today! |
| another new intro????? as soon as i start getting into the intro, they change it! keeping me on my toes i see what an odd team-up haha but i hope al gets to winry and the rest of them in time!!! and of course now is the time he starts having a rejection reaction, what great timing and a new outro too, nice i'm getting the feeling that soon ed and al will be separated and then some major stuff will go down |
| The new OP song is mixed. The chorus/second half of the opening was awesome, the buildup to that chorus was meh. But the visuals for the OP were outstanding, best among the 4 so far by a massive degree when it comes to animation. The ED is also nice to listen to by SCANDAL, better than the previous one but definitely not better than the first two which were great for me. When it comes to the actual episode, man I love this Brotherhood version of Winry. Despite not being able to forgive Scar for what he has done to her parents, still has the resolve to try and help everyone out, especially Ed and Al by playing the sacrifice to help a lot of them escape to the tunnels so that Scar can hide in peace and decipher the notes regarding alchemy and alkahestry that were written in ancient Ishvalan. Winry's mental strength and determination were great and she didn't cry either, gotta keep that promise to Ed about only crying in happiness and celebration. |
| my favorite opening finally look at Winry trying to be useful lmao, hopefully we'll see more of Scar's development |
