| omg, it was so touching. Ed and Al have to be my two favorite brothers, Wow, what a twist. I knew his mom wouldn't have abandoned them like that, I'm glad it turned out she was blind. |
 |
| Touching episode indeed. It's good that Al had enough faith, and didn't need proofs for his existence. |
  |
| for a while,i thought ed would get revenge for nina on scar. it doesnt seem like that will happen though. |
     |
| Scar is a flat out badass |
| That was sooo retarded. Ed would rather hold that question in and let Al torment himself thinking he was holding something back like "Hey Al, you're not real."? And those children's story... That woman ridiculous for not letting her kids know she was blind. She din think that wud be important information in a crisis? And it's not like they were living in peaceful times. Also if if you know you blind, wudn't you call out for them immediately instead of going somewhere they cudnt hear you to start calling? And I havta assume they cudnt hear her and They assumed she was calling AFTER they found out she was blind cuz if he had always known she was calling, he wudnt of said she abandoned them. Anyway. |
 |
| Another great episode! Good that the brothers are re-united again, but wtf was that ending with that secretary goo arm? |
 |
| yay the brothers were back :D the blind mother could have at least told the children of her sickness so that they can take care of her. i also didn't like how the children screamed in front of her since that's what you do if desperately need someone right?? ahh Scar get's away, and yeah Scar is right that Al is HUMAN :P so Al is definitely NOT a fake one. Barry the chopper dies!!!!! finally that bastard had it in coming. next episode going another trip?? interesting :P |
| a nice episode to stop for the day =P |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| Ohhh, so that woman was Envy transformed. No wonder the Homunculus species could bypass the alchemists at the time =.=' |
| Finally Barry is dead. He was really annoying. |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |
| Man, Edawrd Elric sure was being pretentious in this episode. All of that drama just because he want's to know if Al hates him or not? This has been a great series so far (and I'm sure it will continue), and I loved Brotherhood. Though, this pretentious crap was also in brotherhood (That's Shounen for ya). Luckily, Hiromu Arikawa adds a LOT of great philosophies, as well as moral, and social issues that you can ponder over. In the end, that's all that this arc was meant for, It was for thinking. I just wish it wasn't so pretentious, but at least it's not meaningless. Personally, I liked the story about the young Ishbalan's mother. Very touching. Than again, all stories about caring mothers touch my heart. :P Keep pursuing your dreams! ~ Wynn |

| i am really glad it turned out that there mother was blind i couldn't live with it that she abandon them like that i was like serves you right to dy after you walk in that room but now i feel stupid for even thinking that for a moment and feel sorry for her. i am really happy seeing the progress between Scar and Ed it seems they get more friendly lately and helping each other out and Winry has its own use in the show some say she is useless but she isn't in my eyes. |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| al isnt being a goober anymore yay |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Al and Scar working together was cool but yeah she should have told her kids she was blind, that seems silly. I know she didn't want to worry them but they could have helped her out. |
 |
| An action packed bout. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Hey brothers, that's the guy who killed Nina you know? Why Ed was so furious? Oh you don't care anymore, he's your friend now? Oh... well... okay?... I guess... ---___--- |
| Tears that cannot be seen. I guess I've cried plenty of times in my life then. |
 |
| Scar telling Al about his unseen tears was too much haha. That was beautiful |

I guess... ---___--- Yeah, I didn't get it either. I guess you could say he was putting her out of her misery and Ed gets it now? Glad Al got it together (body and mind) and they're all back on track! |
 |
| That was so sad =,( She didn't abandon them, she just couldn't see them...*sniff* T^T |
myfoxhat said: Scar telling Al about his unseen tears was too much haha. That was beautiful It really was T^T *sniff* |
| I should have known that it would only take one episode to resolve that problem with AL lol. They just built it up so much, I thought it would be a bigger deal. But that's okay, because this episode was great and I'm happy with how they did it. -- 5/5 |
| Dynamic and interesting episode in the narrative, even if it looks apparently linked from the main plot. Apparently it also seems that the assumptions of Al are false, who knows, however, a final word has not been given. The action during the whole episode was quite good. |
 |
| The blind Mom part was so freaking sad. Especially her scream when the side of the building blew up while she was just looking for her kids T_T. Great ep, I guess Scar is gonna end up an anti-hero, which is cool. |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| It was obvious that she didn't really abandoned them. Good to see Ed and Al's little conflict is done. |
 |
| I couldn't help but laugh when the only person that it showed get hit by the knives was Rick and it was like directly in his heart. It looked so god damn silly. Also now Al confidently believes he is a real person even though he was so overly dramatic about how he could be a fake before? Just because Ed felt guilty and thought Al blamed him/came to help him? It's not out of character for Ed to do that so I don't think it makes all that much sense to just suddenly believe him after he does that so completely when compared to his mindset earlier. Scar is actually the best character in this show he's really grown on me, very solid antagonist. |
| Haha I love Barry's signature move of coming down from high in the air while shouting his battle cry. |
 |
| Sad to hear about their mother basically being blind, at least the older son now finally knows that their mother did care. Starting to like Scar more, he's also starting to see there's a difference between the military and Ed / AL. Winry being all happy when Edward and AL were fondly remembering their memories :) |
 |
| I'm really glad the brothers' feud is resolved. It was getting entirely too morose to be enjoyable. I like Al and Ed best when they have each others' backs...not when they are at each others' throats! |

| The more and more I navigate life, I realize almost everything boils down to misunderstandings or miscommunication or lack of. Even with people that you trust well, it's vital to disclose feelings fully and often to understand you are growing with people with the same goals. |
 |
| Pretty slow episode, the first one I disliked. At least we got to know a thing about that mysterious woman, guessing she is Leera. |
| The episode of misunderstandings. The one with the mom doesn't seem all that believable to me though. No one knew she was going blind? Kind of strange seeing Alphonse and Scar hangin' out for periods of time not gonna front, lol |
| Solid episode but didn't really care too much about the side story with the kids. gfsdfgsdgsdfgs said: Also now Al confidently believes he is a real person even though he was so overly dramatic about how he could be a fake before?

It's not out of character for Ed to do that so I don't think it makes all that much sense to just suddenly believe him after he does that so completely when compared to his mindset earlier. Felt a bit strange that he was so dramatic earlier and two sentences from Ed (while being shot at) smooth everything over again. Way better handled in Brotherhood.

Even with people that you trust well, it's vital to disclose feelings fully and often to understand you are growing with people with the same goals. I can whole-heartedly agree with this. Communication or a lack thereof is at the center of any human interaction ranging from global down to personal matters. And it can easily be manipulated to further self-interest. That's what public relations, lobbying, politics etc. is all about. To understand this is as important as math or chemistry and should be taught in school IMO. But obviously that's never going to happen, so educate yourselves! |
| Ishbalans just can't catch a break... |
   |
| Scar was honestly a GOAT this episode. I'm somehow liking him more and more. But I'm glad al and ed are back together |
 |
iamKetranLang said: a nice episode to stop for the day =P Yep. Totally agree. |

But obviously that's never going to happen, so educate yourselves! The pacing felt so rushed in this episode. Al goes from brooding over the truth of his existence to completely fine and back to being friendly with Ed after a few words from him. The other brother is introduced as hating his mom over a misunderstanding which is promptly resolved in the same episode. |
| Things have nicely patched up now. Ed and Al seem like normal kids sometimes haha |
