| Not Hughes! Goddamn it. |
| Damn, what a sad episode ;_; But I seriously thought Hughes would've a better plan than that... well... whatever his plan was O_O He just went there without backup? |
Perruchan said: fukkdisshiz.I'm out.Nooooooooooo why'd they kill my favourite character?! ;____________; |
 |
| The coolest on the anime. |
| rip hughes :( ugh my feels |
| It's weird, It started raining inside my house when I watched the end of the episode. |
| I got into this series after seeing a gif of what I now know to be Mustang crying and saying "It's starting to rain now isn't it." I had to know what that gif was from because the line was beautiful and because I wanted to start an emotional anime. I finally got to see the context it was in. I was just thinking in the previous episode that Hughes was probably my favorite character. This series has been amazing so far. I cried a bit, I'll miss him. Onto the favorite anime characters list you go, Hughes. |
| The one thing FMA has over brotherhood - Hughes' death was much more emotional given that we actually got a chance to know him his time. I teared up, I'll admit. |
 |
| Oh my gosh did that really just happen?...Wha...WHY?!?! T^T HUGHES!! D,x Elisia's crying actually made me cry omg =,( |
| Nooo! Hughes was one of my favorites! And poor Elicia... Can you imagine how much Ed is going to flip when he finds out?? Though that was kind of cool how Hughes's "ghost" waved goodbye to him. So freaking sad! -- 5/5 |
| Very sad episode, but the fact remains his other merits, which is a good script a narrative that creates even more empathy for the characters and the countless details that are in addition to others already received. The plot is always more interesting, soundtrack excellent as always, I'll go to see the next episode. |
 |
| Damn 3v1 bullshit. I can only imagine how much worse this would have been if I actually saw this as it came out and I had to wait a while before the next season. |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
VanishingKira said: "Mama,why? Why are they burying Papa?" "It's starting to rain,huh?" Would've been affected more if I hadn't known Hughes dies because of how infamous his death is in this series. Popularity Is such a double-edged sword. |
 |
| "Mama,why? Why are they burying Papa?" "It's starting to rain,huh?" Would've been affected more if I hadn't known Hughes dies beforehand because of how infamous his death is in this series. He was such a likable character, he'll be missed. |
| Hughes was always so much fun to watch. He will be greatly missed. |
 |
| This is still as painful to watch 10 years later as it was when I first saw it. Why Hughes! Just why!? ;_; |
| Episodes 25! Why someone has to die on those episodes?! And... It's going to rain today ;_; NO just NO |

| I didn't cry but Hughes was still in my top 5 favourite characters in FMA :( Such a great character.. |
  |
| Nooooooo who's going to constantly talk about their daughter now? |
 |
| Shame Hughes died ..., I feel so sorry for his wife and Elicia, especially when he had that touching moment before reading into the war and Douglas. I already thought it was weird the Lieuitenant would have known where Hughes was, even though Hughes catched on to the mole thing, it wasnt enough :/ I wonder if this Sloth person also has a similar skill to Envy. |
 |
| RIP Hughes ;_; Fuck Homunculi. |
| Now that's just good writing T^T I'm scared of what they're gonna pull from here to the end of the series, I don't think my feels are even slightly prepared. |
 |
| Damn......just, Damn! |

myronator said: It would have been nice if they gave him a bit more dignity before killing him off. He had no plan, no backup and didn't tell anyone what he was doing as he tries to face off against a threat that has shown to be incredibly powerful. Disappointing to see a good character die like that. Hopefully it doesn't take too long for the information Hughes had on the homunculi to be given to the other characters so the story can move on. I believe he didn't want anyone else involved or to put anyone else in danger. That's why he fired his secretary and strong-arm kept his mouth shut |
 |
| MUH HEART. MUH SOUL. NOT HUGHES!! :( |
|
| When Hughes was saying to his daughter that he has a lot of work to do, I got scared for his family. Then when he was making the phone call and a picture fell out of his pocket, I was pretty sure they were going to kill his daughter. I was desperately hoping he's only injured :( This death really got me :( And I thought this was going to be another family/friends/nakama anime where everyone survives and lives happily..... I got slapped in the face :( |
| I'd say besides the Nina episode, this is the most iconic. I remember being pretty blindsided about this the first time I saw it. |
 |
| Best episode up until now. They handled his death so much better here, my God. New information about the homunculi is revealed. |
| damn, I liked him, he was a great character... Kobe died in real life and then coming and seeing this... it is just sad :( |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| Damn, they got Hughes :'-( |
| hopping on this to also add WHY HUGHES!!!! he was one of my favourite characters, such a welcome source of comic relief with so much heart and kindness - and the ending of the ep when al, ed and winry were talking about him but they don't evEN KNOW :(((( other than that trauma, really loving this show!! v excited to see what comes next |
Tinky-Winky said: Been watching simultaneously as well and have to say that FMA did this way better. The scenes were more emotional and better executed, I especially in terms of atmosphere and soundtrack. Brotherhood didn't achieve the same emotional depth, also because they added comedy scenes in between. Normally I like them but here they were misplaced.Been watching this simultaneously with Bro'hood (and I regret doing so), and man, this proved to be much more dramatic than the latter. I had a drop of tear roll down my face ;_; Trool4Lyfe said: That's a great aspect of the show for sure. Just gets you invested in the characters so much more because it adds that realistic danger. Kinda reminds me of how GoT treated it's characters...Poor Hughes <3 This is what's so cool about Full Metal Alchemist. It's so down to earth. In a lot of other animes, it is unthinkable to kill off a comic relief who also has a family. Hughes died to make FMA awesome! metamorphius said: I have my suspicions about the Führer and his secretary as well. Wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be involved...So, the plot thickens, as they say, huh? The moment I saw Führer (forgot his real name) give Huges the green light for further investigation, I thought he might end up dying. Still, I was sad it actually happened. Speaking of Fuhrer...I have found him to be kinda suspicious for several episodes now. And after this secretary incident, he seems even more suspicious; I wouldn't be surprised to see him be revealed as a villain/have a skeleton in the closet/sth like that (haven't seen Brotherhood yet, so this is just a guess). As a last remark: why would he meet with Douglas alone if he already knows that she's involved in it and is most likely leading him into a trap. Strange logic. Get some backup, man! |

| This episode was just pain. Man... Hughes' death was sad in Brotherhood but the way he was showcased here before and after death was really depressing. Much more emotional here. |
| Rest in piece to a fantastic character :( Envy really pulled an unfair move with his transformations. I also really like how they handled the ed by removing the visuals |
 |
| damn, this was sadder than the brotherhood version. I thought I was ready cause I knew what was coming...but boy I was wrong. he was an awesome character <3 RIP Hughes San |
 |
| Just rewatched this episode and cried to it again. Hughes was one of the best characters in the show T_T |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| Even if I watched this before in FMAB it still hit very hard watching it a second time. Rest in piece Hughes. |
