| Awesome episode. Shaping up to be an un-believably good end to an already incredibe anime! One of the best eps I've seen for ages. |

| This is a good example of not believing what you hear in the news. Damn this is the power of fire for you, Mustang is awesome with just a snap of his finger he reduces all enemies in ashes! How terrifying?! aninewbie08 said: Looks like somebody went and gave the episode a 1 AGAIN....probably didn't even watch it!! Trolls like this seriously piss me off. Did I read somewhere on here that it was a naruto fan? Is there really nothing that can undo it? Maybe just an Envy fan Mustang vs Envy was a much anticipated fight, no matter how creepy, mean (ugly/true form) Envy is because he sounds like detective Conan I could never hate him even though he killed Hugues which is the first character I like in FMA. Trivia: at the end which one of the two is Envy? |

| That was some great animation and fight direction there. Very good episode onceagain. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| All I have to say is Mustang FTW. |
| Only thing I disliked about the episode. A military woman deciding to follow after her pissed-off flame-happy commander who's fighting a shapechanger. She doesn't even seem to consider the option that she could be reduced to a burnt cinder (kinda like the ones surrounding her, which were immortal and were still killed. And said commander wasn't even serious when he did that. Envy amused me this episode, fail-transforming multiple times, and the screaming when his eyeballs were burnt out, twice! I guess Mai Chan's lack of reasoning can be excused for bringing him back to Central for the flame induced beat-down he's suffering now. Episode seems wholly focused on Mustang, vs the switching back and forth between the other battles that are raging at the same time. We'll get to see more of the Sloth beating next time though. |

| Ohhh man, this was insane. One of the things I really hated about the 2003 anime was nobody really found out exactly who killed Hughes, except for Ed (but then he got stuck in Germany, so it doesn't really matter) raaaaaaage This beatdown was long deserved in coming, especially since Brotherhood Envy is an even eviller character than in the 2003 show. As for the end, I'm going to propose a wild theory that neither of them is Envy. I suspect Riza is fully ready to kill Roy because of how psycho he's going here (I mean, hell, if Ed and Scar of all people are worried about his mental state, that goes double for Riza). Other than that... the propaganda broadcast at the beginning did leave me a little uneasy. The way the citizens are talking makes it sound like the common people really support Bradley. Bradley, the guy who explicitly stated that he was 100% intent on committing genocide against the Ishvalans? Bradley, the guy who started wars with all 3 of Amestris's neighboring countries? This is the kind of leader the common people support? Considering that there is no chance in hell Bradley is dead after the train explosion, I wonder how the citizens will react when he returns... will they then turn on Mustang and the Briggs brigades? At any rate, I wonder who exactly knows that Bradley is a Homunculus? Obviously, we remember back in episode 22 that Ling told Ed, Al, Roy, and Dr. Knox about it. Plus Riza knows since she was his secretary for a time. I bring this up because it sounds like the rest of Mustang's team doesn't know this. Well, then, now that I've got that off my chest... I LOL'ed when a citizen was saying "I hope Selim wasn't killed" or something like that. Don't worry about that, man, Selim is just fine... I want more of the Xing power trio. Mei Chang and Xiao Mei are nice for indulging my inner loli and pet-lover, but where's Ling, Lan Fan, and Fu, dammit?!?! |

There was a conversation at some point that (I think it was between Feury and Maria Ross) confirmed that they at least knew that Selim was a homunculus; It's not that hard to believe that either Hawkeye or Mustang told the rest of the team about the furher at some point offscreen. In fact, it would be pretty ridiculous at this point if they -didn't-. |

| Roy Mustang went berserk. Awesome. \o/ |

| darn the animation is top notch very good battle scenes with envy and mustang |
| I really enjoyed this moment when I read it in the manga and I love it even more seeing it animated. Lol at envy for making himself such an easy target again and again! |
| I love it. I simply LUUURRRVVVVV it. |
 |
| Awesome.Awesome.Awesomeeeee. I am sooo pumped about this anime right now. Envy makes me laugh so much. Him and Selim are my favorites. |
    |
| Oh my goodness.. episode 53 was just plain amazing!!!!! Mustang was just so awesome and the way his face looked when he found out the Envy killed Hughes.. amazing!!!! Mustang is a total beast and is kicking Envy's ass like nothing, all Envy can do is just run... i wonder whats gonna happen now since it ended with a cliffhanger....!!! OMG get a huge ass 10 out of me!! |

This is the kind of leader the common people support? I think because Bradley brings stability to the nation. No matter what kind of ruler you are as long as you bring stability to the country, people will support you. Sure they're at war with 3 countries. But at north, they have Briggs and they are undefeatable in there. At the east they have the old commander , the military squad that being labeled as the strongest attacker of ametris, west side is just a desert (former land of Xerxes)( correct me if i'm wrong about the position i kinda forgot about whois in the east side and who is in the west side),just in the south side they still have a continuous war. But i think the Ametris army is the winning side there, because if not surely they have been invaded now by the south nation. They're the winning nation in all of that wars and because of that the citizen see Bradley as the leader with great leadership. About the ishball, i think Bradley is just talk about commiting genocide in ishball to the military side only. To the people of the country he just told them that they just want to quell the rebelion in there, and in the end he succeed in quelling the rebelion. +1 point to him in the citizen's eye because of that imo. If you wonder why some soldier in the army didn't tell the people about what happen in Ishball. It's easy to silence them and prevent information leak if you are a dictator imo. That's the reason why Bradley is so popular among the citizen imo. |

| my thoughts........... this episode starts of slowly....with mrs bradley being interviewed by a LaME radio channel...and she ends up blaming the central army for watever has happened in central over the past few hours...(masterstroke from roy and gang)......i lol'd at that guy's acting wen he was on the phone...that was so funny...ahahahaha...... from then on , the scene shifts to lab 3 , where all the action begins........all i can say is that roy was freakin kickass in this episode......fucked envy up pretty badly.....and the action sequences were so beautiful to watch, BONES has outdone itself this time around and surely , i could not have asked for more....the episode ended witha great cliffhanger moment....and i really dont think and another point..... The fluidity of movements durin extreme action scenes is somethin i admire so much in this anime . . For example bradley versus greed roy versus lust that short battle between lin and envy greedlin versus wrath pride and kimblee versus al and now this smile.gif smile.gif awesome stuff , it gives more intensity to the scenes and makes them look gorgeous . . . |
| Burn, Envy, burn. Alchemic inferno. |
 |
| Usually, I'd love to read everyone's comments, but this time I just couldn't. Since there're so many spoiler warning, and darn spoiler tabs are so tempting! So I simply skipped some comments, sorry. Roy is a real badass!! He killed Lust, burnt down the immortal army. Now, owning Envy and gains trust among people! Though, I was not very happy to hear him wanting to see Hawkeye's crying face again someday. I fear that his wish will be 'granted' :( . You know what I mean, right? I was a bit disappointed of how easy the immortal army could be defeated. I know Roy IS a hero of Ishval battle, but since Ed and others had hard time sparring with the army, it should have taken Roy more finger snaps. ( like when he burnt Lust to ashes ) I don't feel sorry for Envy, but it sure looked painful. Good to know that Roy did not hesitate to burn Envy who was in Hughes's form! Roy was scary as hell with his angry face and dark shade on ,,, I want more episodes~!! Update :: I just rewatched the episode! And WOW, time could really fly!! |

| Mustang is like a god. So much win with just a snap of his fingers. I wondered if Envy would be Mustang or Hawkeye but the preview spoiled it .. :p FMA:B cliffhangers are always spoiled by previews. Probably some Mustang vs Elric next week ? |
Wetpantsu said: Roy's scary. Envy's one of my favorite villains, and I do feel sorry for him. Man that must've hurt a lot. And dammit, Lieutenant. Bad move is bad. Nephtys said: No really, of all people she should know better why Mustang had her stay in one spot.I think she follow him because of their deep bond, regardless of how danger the situasion is she still follow him. She is really worried about his mental state right now, so she decided to follow him. Okay, Mustang is worried about her safety. But Riza is worried about Mustang too. you know they care for each other and Right now, Mustang's heart is burned with rage. In my opinion, right now Riza is really worried that Mustang can become same person like Scar was, so she decided to follow him and make sure Mustang didn't fall to the same problem. Just think about it, if Ed and Scar is worried enough about Mustang condition right now. Riza is sure has more reason to worried about him. They really have a very deep bond, not just a commander-subordinate relationship. |

cnaw said: And another thing i noticed from the preview , Figures they did it like in Youswell coal mine story. Oh well what's done is done but it should've been in the earlier episode. |
 |
| Youswell isn't really that important . . I mean , the only places youswell is involved is 1. Introduction of yoki 2. Introduction of may but this scene is a different story , its an integral part of the story , and it develops the relationship between 2 comrades . . And i think the place where they're doing it now (ep 54) is perfect . . . Much better than where it is placed in the manga |
| I'm just saying that they did another one where a scene/story was missing then it was placed in the future episodes, which was done well but confusing at first. But I agree, it does fit in the next episode. |

| Great episode, Mustang is just the epitome of cool. P.S. lol @ the butt-hurt troll who selected 1 out of 5 |
 |
| Another awsome and epic episode and finally concentrating on Mustang. I just loved this :D |
 |
There's no way Mustang could've had any other reaction to Envy than what he had. Loving how he's punishing Envy in the most brutal way possible. This man could burn anything, but he goes for the eyes. |
 |
| Slow start, but everything was absolutely necessary. I loved this episode. Even though I long since forgot about Hughes, I do remember how much Mustang 'needed' him (that's most likely from the first show, though), and adored every snap of his fingers. Very straight to the point, and that's how I like it. I wonder who Envy changed into. My guess is that isn't Mustang, and Riza smelled the bunt flesh on Envy. Or she just knew how useless she was in the fight and noticed how he said he needed her. No clue though! Can't wait until the next episode! |

| I LOVE how everything is moving along. I think it's doing a lot better now that it seems to be focusing on just a few things rather than everything. And just when I thought the pace was being slowed down by Envy's aggravating taunting and speeches, Roy burns his tongue xD Awesome. I did feel a slight pang of sympathy for Envy, though, when he was getting repeatedly burned although I suppose he "deserved" it for killing Hughes >.> Also, it was good to see a different side of Roy. He's always so controlled and opaque that it's interesting to see him lose control like he is now. |
