That was a superb and exciting episode.
King Bradley's fight scene was engrossing,but at the end he was with those three crazy people.
Is he a traitor??

At first I didn't like the evil villain, Greed; and then this episode I felt bad for him, he didn't beg for his life or ask for another chance, he just accepted his death like a man D=

Greed's last words made me rofl XD "Don't blame me if you get a stomachache!"

Not quite a villain, but more of an anti-hero. He did seem to have more care for his subordinates if only because they were "his", and in return the subordinates were willing to sacrifice their lives for him (or for revenge against the army). The longer this goes on, the more it looks like the army may be the villains (with the exception of colonel mustang and his crew). Of course what would you expect from an organization with a fuhrer president as leader...

Looks like King Bradley is a really badass and powerful character. I like it :) And also all of this things about homunculuses. It's going to be more and more interesting in next episodes :)

I knew King Bradley was a bit dodgy (he does look like Stalin after all) but I never expected him to be Wrath himself. And boy can he fight. I haven't seen anyone except the Scar guy who could be on his level.

And the Father person looks suspiciously like the father of the brothers...mmh...

This episode was freakin crazy, just wow, when I saw the Ouroboros tattoo on King Bradley's eyeball, then Ed and Al's father(?), then the homunculus.. Great stuff.

Edit: So Greed is gone now, that's a pity, I liked his character. He was said to lived for 200 years, and he was created by the "Father" who should be Ed/Al's parent, but.. that means he was alive 200 years ago and created the homunculus? Hmm how can that be?

I don't think this anime creates shocking moments well... I'm assuming I was supposed to be suprised that King Bradley was a Homunculus? Well, I wasn't... I never saw it coming but the delivery of the scene just didn't run smoothly. I'm still waiting for the anime to pick up.

Also, I was recommended this anime because I was told that Ed was a genius (I love genius protagonists). The only kinda smart thing he's said so far was about the body being made up of carbon but he ended it with 'and the rest is alchemy', which just didn't sit right.

So far my theory of 'The father being Ed and Al's dad' is becoming quite probable, I'm quite happy.

Greed went out in a such a badass way. Loved his shit talk with Envy - still wearing the same clothes? Lmao, MTE.

I just got spoiled about that in this episode though. Some of you guys are clueless dolts.

Lots of information reveal, which I like. The fight was great. Bradley looks like the strongest homunculus; I'd be scared of him.

So,elric's father is behind everything and he is leader of the 7 deadly sins?
That would make him Pride,the most serious of the seven deadly sins, and the source of the others.

Great episode. It seems like the homunculus are derived from their father's very soul. If they are all a part of him, would that leave him with no vice? Doesn't look like it. Now that he has gained greed back, he will be taking a pivotal twist in the story for sure.

Well damn, King Bradley is an absolute tank.

I totally called it that he was behind it! (Well partially anyways). Looks like Ed and al's dad created the 7(?) Homunculus. I did not expect Bradley to be one of them (Wrath) though it makes sense based on his badass skillset.

Excited to see where it goes from here!

Episode that follows for better or worse, the actions seen during FMA about the arc of Greed, but that in the contexts and times narrative is quite different, however, in qunto seems, is for there to be a disconnect with the story seen in the FMA, given what the promo shows. Not bad designs, good animations. Armstrong remains a real cool.

Okay that's going to be way different as the original FMA anime I saw so many years ago. But it's awesome, I hope they keep this level. This Hohenheim looks a little bit to white (no racist LOL) as the normal one right?

Can't wait to see how the plot will go on and what will happen in the next episodes.

Ohh, I feel so bad for Al, mostly because he is very sensitive. But now, as he got his memory back, he will hopefully be eable to make alchemy without having to draw a circle first :)
THAT PRESIDENT IS SO BAD!! WHY DIDN'T I SEE THA COMING, WHY?! Oh, and is he Roy's father or did I get that part wrong?
I felt so bad for the bad persons deaths
I have a bad feeling about what's going to happen to the brother's teacher, I hope his husband will be ok and that nobody from the army tries to do anything to them
Now, I have three theories:
1) The old man at the end is Ed and Al's dad, and he is going to have them sacrificed (something her mother didn't know).
2) It's their dad, but he left them in order to keep all of them safe, that's why her wife talked so good about him, because...
·) The guy at the end is the brother's dad's dad, which wants to sacrifice them, but his son doesn't let them. Or supports him. I have no idea :/

Hahaha, I hope after I finish this show I come back to read my forum posts and see what pieces I got right and which ones I didn't :P

Wow so finally we got to see all of them! But if they are based on the 7 deadly sins, who is the 7th figure? Is if their "father"? And so how this guy looks like Elric brother's father? O___O may just be the beard though but still... Which makes me wonder if the Elric Brothers are homunculus or something... O____o

And the" father" drinking Greed's blood, meaning now his soul is back inside his body?

And as expected, the Fuhrer president is involved!

Ngl, it was pretty predictable to find out that King Bradley was the villain, but what a plot-twist at the ending.. Despite him being the head of the army, he's but a pawn to the true mastermind, the father of Edward and Al... damnnnnnnnn. So all those 'homuculus' got 'ultimate powers', welp, gl Edward and Al LOL.

Armstrong's face being smashed against the wall reminded of Hellsing Ultimate, that was a bit bloodier tho :D
Whelp, there goes Martel, one of FMA 2003's favourite characters and it seems Greed has also already been defeated.
Bradley has also already been confirmed one of of the homunculi.

There goes Greed and the show diverting from 2003, hopefully they can change the pace now as it's been really fast considering how much we've missed on backstories that were told in 2003.

Hohenheim (Edward and Alphonse's dad) is the "father" of the homunculi.

Wow this episode was an info dump.

Bradley is brutal. He was killing Chimera left and right no problem by himself. Looks like he is a homunculus as well.

And it looks like father is actually Ed and Alphose's father. I had a feeling he was the true big bad.
