Tensai-Kun said: The tattoo on Riza's back is the secret of Roy's flame alchemy. She asked him to burn it so that no one could ever learn to do it again and use it to kill the way Roy was forced to. If you (or someone else) are interested, you can see the amount of research that went into the tattoo.So, Riza's father's results from expirements r the tatoos on Riza's back? *just guessing here = kinda looks like Scar's hand* |

| I read the manga and I thought the episode served its purposes and was decent in itself. Just saying... |

| I don't understand people if they drop this anime because of one episode. I mean there are dozens of manga adaptations out there who are really shitty. Until now this anime was very well done and I don't think that there are many manga adaptations who can beat FMA Brotherhood. just my opinion |
 |
| Wow...I kind of liked the episode...it was interesting...but I'd like to see more Edward action. :P I'm slowly making my way through the manga chapters now... |

| I really thought this episode would be annoying seeing all the Ishbal flashbacks we've had until now, but it was a great and much more interesting one than the previous Ishbal eps. Reading what other posters wrote, I'm also glad most of the cheese and drama has been cut off from this episode. |

Seriously, you people were complaining that there wasn't -enough- character development before. |
 |
| They actually did the Roy/Riza flashback. Right now I couldn't be happier~ Sent with Mal Updater |
   |
| Finally caught up, well being neither a follower of the previous FMA or the Manga, I enjoyed this episode. I want more Al and Armstrong! |
 |
| You know I saw this episode again after some time to "cool off" and it really isn't that bad judged on its own merits. It still pales in comparison to the manga, but given how they were limited to one episode, they did okay . I still think they should have excised the jokes in favor of some additional character development, though. |
| |
| Yeah, things are missing, but I don't see it as such a major problem since it's not giving problems to the ones that are only watching the anime... Also, there are some really strong scenes in Ishval's flashback. Maybe too many to put it in the anime.... That war has always given me chills. The social critique Arakawa gives is so intense and mature. I just love til death... Btw, loved the commercial break eyecatches *-* sexy Risa omg!! <333 This episode really shows how deep and human FMA characters are. Also: AlxMei is soooo cuteeeee!! *__*~ |

| They could have just split this part of the story into 2 episodes. |
| Couldn't they have stretched this volume out over two episodes? Stuffing it all into one episode and cutting scenes = fail. Decent episode. I smiled at Ed's reaction to Riza's saying that Winry must be really important to him and frowned when Al talked badly about Ed. (It was a joke but boo, Ed is shorter than Al for a reason. D: And I like Ed more. D: ) |
| Damn !! They cut the greatest flashback of the whole series so far, Ishval's execution. Many great scenes and dialogue cut like how Hawkeye said that she like guns because she wouln't fell kill someone, Kimblee killing Scar's brother or Grand killing another officer. I'm utterly dissapointed for this episode, it doesn't have the epic feeling like the manga |
 |
| 4 out of 5 |
 |
| This ep was intense! I don't get all the hate. I think they adapted the story of Ishbal very well by keeping the vital essence of the flashback. |
     |
| I found this to be a really good episode, even though certain parts were cut out, the episode served it's purpose, what's better than hearing Kimblee's words of wisdom??? xD |
| "Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that" |
| so ishval war flashbacks, including mustang's master whose daughter has his research tattooed on her back, plus scar meets marcoh, not good for the doctor |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| I'm so glad i haven't red manga. so the "changes" don't piss me off, simp;y cause i don't know what was changed ^^ Marcoh (O.o) |
| Too f*cking condensed. One of my favorite, albeit depressing volumes was scrunched up badly. They better bring some of these forgotten things up during later episodes. DKJ |
 |
| An enjoyable episode, but I'm glad the flashbacks are over (at least for now). |
| I'm starting to think Fuhrer President as Hitler and the country as Germany during Hitler's reign. The Ishbalans are the Jews and Hitler/Bradley was trying to exterminate them. Just add in sci-fi stuffs like philosophers's stone and you get FMA:B, lol. Anyways what the fuck was that inscription on the back of Hawkeye? Whoa was that the product Mustang's master was talking about? If so, does that mean Mustang will attain ultimate power if he gets his hand on that inscription? Whoa I can't wait. Oh and who is this Kimbley guy? I've seen him countless of times throughtout the series but noone really gives information about him. He's like a guy shrouded by the mystery cloud. |
| 5 out of 5: Loved it! (your vote) |
 |
| I think it was a good episode, but I haven't read the manga |
 |
| Hm, I wonder why they (for the English dub on adult swim) cut out the part in the end when Envy goes to Marcoh's cell to check on him. It's not that graphic, adult swim has shown more blood than that. |
People are strange, when you're a stranger |
| there were some good parts but also it felt slow and then fast decent episode |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I think this episode could have done so much more. It's good to know, in a way, that the manga is much more detailed. I've got to read it at some point. |

| [insert awesome signature here] |
| woah,manga readers flaming.LMAO |
 |
| Hawkeye is actually hot if she’s dressed in the right way :D I dislike the way Al descripted himself, because he’s cooler than his brother in no way. Ed! And Ed seems to love Winry too, that's what I really like about Brotherhood (mm) |
  |
| LOL @ Al making fun of Ed at the end. |
 |
| even without reading the manga i can sort of see that some things were missing there, was still good though. looking forward to the rest of the series :) |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
Dusk252 said: He was talking about Flame Alchemy. It's incredibly powerful, powerful enough to kill a Homonculus just via pure fire.Wow at the backstory... That was really sad, and also a bit disturbing. I hope Roy reaches his goal - I never thought he was that selfless. That Kimbley guy... his vision of things is kinda twisted but he did say some things on spot. And now what's left to know is what was that "most powerful alchemy" Riza's dad researched in the past... |
 |
| A nice bit of background story telling about the ishbal war and other specific things, quite a nice episode! |
 |
| it was nice how we saw mustang during the war (= ending was funny as well ^^ |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| it's nice to see how Roy learned his fire techniques as well as how he met Riza and her father. definitely a heart breaking moment for Riza when her father dies. so Riza is only a experiment?? that's why she has a tattoo at her back??? the war was pretty brutal :\ and wow Roy and Hughes was able to meet during the war huh?? must be traumatizing for Hawkeye since her shots can definitely kill people in just one shots. yeah they already have the eyes of a murderer. im interested on what Riza's tatoo at her back?? was she really a experiment?? damn that kimbley bastard. so he was the first soldier to receive the Philosopher's stone?? and wow King Bradley brutal as ever :P not giving the Ishbal a chance, then again those leaders are assholes for trying to sell them for them. so that's how Riza loyalty to Roy came from. wahh May Chang taken a liking to Al :P now we're now half of the series, i wonder what other events are gonna be reveal?? :) |
| and yeah after reading here that alot of things got cut like how Roy was considered a hero at that time, Gran wasn't a useless character like in the first season and so on. shame it was cut and all :\ i do agree they should have put 2 or more episode to explain the backstory. since i want to know more about the impact of the war and how it influence them. |
