Blah, so Al is diminishing. Does that mean he's not perfect philosopher stone? Or there is no perfect philosopher stone at all =\? Al seems not to know what the price is, for him being turned into the stone, and it will barely do any good if he(and I'm sure he will) learns about it. Too good Tucker didn't succeed on bounding Nina's soul, it would be too cruel even for anime such as FMA

love how Lust turns and betrays Wrath and the others.

how can you even trust Dante-san at all??

she doesn't seem care about humans despite being one herself.

so they really must have love each other Hohenheim.

yeah that Nina was probably soulless as well.

and wow Al diminishing T__T

you should have listened to your brother in the first place you idiot!!!

so the General is actually a Homunculus himself and not Envy herself??

that stupid Wrath deserves a blade in the head.

i agree with Lust, i mean Al is pretty much immortal so why even go back in your original form in the first place??

damn lots of plot twist and awesome turn of events!!!!

now we see the battle between Ed and Sloth :P

5 episodes left!!!

There are so many plot twists, things are heating up fast.
lust has been having awesome character development- best villian of the show without a doubt. I wish wrath could just die already. Al shouldn`t have trusted tucker, doesn`t he know what an awful person tucker is?

good thing Lust turned to the good side but something tells me that's not all behind it since lust never seemed like a trust worthy character you never know her intentions.

the philosopher stone is diminishing to that is not such a big surprise Hohenheim was mentioning that the last time Dante switched bodies it should have been the last stone so out of that we could have known the stone would disappear after using it for a great amount.

damn how much does tucker have to do before Al realizes he is a bad person then again this shows his childish side cause of what happened to Nina he wanna help out to get her back forgetting all other things he did in the past.

Little doll Nina.

I felt bad for Lust, I really did like her character, she wasn't really as bad as the rest, she just wanted to be human to die like anyone else. Awww.

Wrath deserved the stabbing and for someone who dislikes babies crying so much he sure does it a lot himself.

It's weird to think how this series is almost over. I can't wait to see how everything concludes. They have barely touched on Al being the Philosopher's stone. I was expecting much more to happen from that than what has happened so far. The anime finale will probably be something relating to that and leave us hanging.

"Master Sargent Fuery, during your last physical examination we discovered athletes foot. And we now believe that it is effecting your brain. Sorry about this Sargent, guess we just can't mobilize you" xD

Archer O_O

Well, apparently Dante made both Greed AND Pride.
And Hoennhiem made Envy?!?!
So now it's just Gluttony who we know nothing about where he came from.

Wrath is definitely not gone for good yet. If he were, then Ed getting the baby's remains would have been pointless, so Wrath will definitely come back...

I feel bad for Lust...She's such a great character, I hope she does get to become human.

Lmao about Fuery's medical diagnosis! That was hilarious!

I'm amazed Lust switched sides like that. She has shown a soft side before, but then snuffed it out. Still, I'm glad she's turning out to not be super evil, just genuinely wants to be human at any cost. I've always kind of liked her.

What I didn't even consider was the fact that Al has actually become a philosopher stone, so when his power runs out, he'll probably shatter and die just like any other philosopher stone... No wonder Ed didn't want him to use alchemy.

Again, the narrative presents a number of twists and turns that make watching the episode enjoyable to follow.
In converted believed that Tucker could in his attempt, but I was wrong, there are still many things yet to be revealed, the curiosity is killing me! Not bad as the events took place during the narration, And has drawn out all the aces in his possession, good.

Al in general has always been naive, and he's like 14, so yeah not surprising he trusted Tucker. I like how Lust is helping Ed, but that comment she made about her weakness makes it sound like she might turn on Ed after he helps her. Not sure how this is gonna end, hopefully better than people have said haha.

Was it really a plot twist though, it's been hinted for a long time that she's not as evil as she tends to show.
She's been making it very clear she just wants to be human and for quite some while would rather help the brothers than kill them, Lust even cared for and helped Scar in his final hour.


Awesome episode though, AL losing his "body" whenever he uses the stone, Tucker is completely stuck in his own world, thinking Nina is back and talking, yet another transformation failed.

I found it really cute when Mustang put Fuery's glasses on Hawkeye!

I feel like Lust has always been the "most human" out of all the Homunculi. She is a terrible person, but deep down she just wants to be human. I love her character.

On the other hand, Wrath is an asswipe and I hope he dies soon.

Wrath brat deserved beating

Believe archer will find a use in military according to Fuhrer words that archer will protect central

Tucker fooling Alphonse wasn't surprised

Its disappointing how Al, Ed would use the stone - especially Al, for whole serier he did not accepted sacrificing live for some purposes but when he got a grip on a stone that many soldiers died for, he is ready to use it!

Not as good as the previous episodes. Tucker using Al was to be expected, Dante wanting to get rid of Roy and co. as well. The only real surprises were Lust siding with Ed and Envy being Hohenheim's creation.

You could also call it calculating. She realized that Dante will never allow them to become human. So maybe she thinks that the odds of reaching her goal are greater by helping Ed.

It's weird how their morals seem to have shifted. When they discovered how the stones were made, the vowed to search for another option to restore their bodies. And now Al is ready to use it no matter the cost it took to make it. Let's see where it all ends...

It makes me sad to hear that apparently Lust isn't as developed or interesting in Brotherhood, because she's honestly one of my favorite characters in this show (Laura Bailey's voice acting contributes very heavily to that). Which is funny cause when she first appeared, I thought she was just another generic "sexy villaness" and she didn't do much other than sit around while speaking vaguely about cryptic villain things.

wait hoheinheim actually got killed? i don't remember from the last time i watched. god, he really is hardly relevant here compared to mangahood.. he might've had his soul transferred into rose's baby but i have no idea.
i gotta say i find lust here super interesting. it's fascinating to see her cooperating with ed because she's so determined to become human. really interesting. also can we get rid of tucker now? seriously. and get rid of archer too, he should've stayed dead.

Lust is a great character. Alphonse is sooooo naive it's painful to watch. i don't get why they keep saying You-know-who like she's going to be summoned in front of them if they say her name. Envy is named after his envy of the MCs. crazy.
