Not sure where I first heard this, but if you're ever chased by a giant stone in a square hallway, go to one of the corners. Just like Ed did, but yeah. That should be the first thing you do. Unless you're huge and bulking, the stone rolls right by. :P

Ok, I liked this one a lot. Winry's bad was enough for the whole episode to be fun, and the suits of armor were enough for the episode to be interesting.

great episode :D

poor Sheska gonna right another 9,000 cases T____T

Edward soo lucky he's small XD

and yeah Winry have forgotten to put one screw on it :P

and wow so im thinking they'd use the philosopher's stone to create an armor like human like Al is.

im guessing the stone can defy the law of alchemy by God.

this is getting intense :)

damn Winry gone get them killed once how can she forget a screw is when she is a specialist at that kind of stuff but okay forgetting things is human sigh.

funny how ed kept pushing stones down and setting of traps right after each other but i think he will never get mad he is small again XD.

how could this guardian call it good reaction skills for a huge body anyone could avoid a attack like that if you scream so loud first >.> (isn't a surprise attack supposed to be silent and surprising)

wow scar and the homunculus knew about the laboratory already and there more people like Alfonso does this mean they where the sacrifices and the number stand for how many people went before them damn that is allot if that is the case.

it was quiet surprising to find out there where more people like Alfonso but by seeing this second guard it was pretty obvious.

maybe Ed and Alfonso there father has something to do with the souls in armor since it cant be done by just anyone and he is same blood as Ed and he also researched the same thing and we still found not much out about there father except that he is/was a great alchemist then again this military guy who was the boss around there but was kilt could also be responsible which seems more likely the case here.

so Envy is also a homunculus and can take the form of ed perfectly that could be dangerous if she could take others there form and powers to.

Love the balance of drama and comedy in this version, I was roaring on the Fullmetal Indiana Jones charade. In contrast, the scene at the start was really tense, especially with the creaking of the fan as the silence breaker.

Being small is what saved him lol
I KNEW it was going to be a giant round rock. When I heard that rumbling I was like "I bet it's a rock. A big round rock." because that's such a cliché booby trap.

LOL Winry xD

So how do you defeat a soul attached to a suit of armor? I'd say get close enough to wipe off the blood seal somehow, but I dunno. Hmm...

Well, I remember when they showed Al's seal inside the armor written in Ed's blood a few episodes back. They said Al was luck that Scar didn't hit him a few inches over and damage that seal because it was what tethered Al's soul to the armor. So really, all they have to do is damage that spot so bad the seal is broken I guess. Or damage their armor to the point that their helpless, like how bad Al's armor got damaged.

Great stuff though! I wasn't expected them to be like Al. I thought they were going to be like Lust, Gluttony and Envy. Craziness. Plus, Scar is on his way, right? Could be quite the predicament. -- 4/5

Wasn't a fan of the comic relief booby traps montage nor the new villains. No build up to them, just crazy armor transmutations who wanna fight. I could be proven wrong in the next episode but they feel very monster of the week and just there to give us some shounen action because there hasn't been enough recently. Not that any of this is that widely bad though the show for the last 10 or so episodes has been impeccable.

So it would seem that the soul armour binding has been done already, or maybe it was after Edward's attempt, doubt it though.

Also really smart of them to circle the building on the map when it's already numbered, easy time for Scar to find him.

It seemed like Scar's arm has a special ability. Maybe to decode texts? Or maybe he can decypher anything that has to do with the philosopher's stone since his arm seems to be linked to it. I wonder...

Ed calling himself small twice was hilarious. Good episode!

Ross is one of my favorite characters currently, I love how she acts like kind of like a big sister towards Ed and Al lol.

Also the booby traps scene was great.

ooohhh a cliffhanger, fun! i already know what happens but i don't remember everything clearly. this is a pretty good episode. the fact that lab 5 was run by grohn is really interesting. to be fair, that dude was up to no good so it's not too surprising.
