Ed's expression when they pretended he is a child and carried him off as a hostage killed me :')

Great episode. Highlight of the episode? Winry in the bathtub. I'd love to be a rubber ducky in there :D :D :D It made my day.

Ling face to face with Greed was great. "Friends are bound by heart/soul" B)
Poor lizard guy put his life on the line just to see Greed and how he gets repaid was just sad.

"...and very short." hahaha!! That joke was played well here. I think Ed looks better with longer hair. His face during hostage scene was priceless too xD; His car was ... well, not my taste I'd just say :P

Greed vs Wrath should be good. "That Day" arrives. Good buildup of anticipation on my end.

Ed's taste in cars is amazing xD

The Lin vs Greed argument was awesome, definitely the highlight of the episode.

I'm glad Al and Hohenheim got along so well and so quickly.

Greed vs Wrath? Hmm. Probably going to be Wrath considering Pride is also there and on his side.

Winry was very pretty in this episode, and he noticed that Rose feels something for Ed...

Finally they discover the true intentions behind the wars, to create puppets and not only philosopher's stones. Beautiful clash between Greed and King.

Nice Ed is back in action!! I knew it would happen. When the guy said little....he got knocked out xD
A tuned car? Pimp my ride Brotherhood style haha...that was amazing.

Winry in the bath scene reminds me a lot of Lucy from Fairy Tail. So definitely nice fan service *.*

Finally Al has also some time with his father and heard all the things of the past from Hohenheim.

Cool to see Rin again. Hmm Greed vs. Wrath or more like Rin vs. Wrath?
The day arrives was a perfect ending for this.

YESSSSS!!! I hope Greed returns Ling his body! I mean, he was nice after all. I still think King Bradley and his son will kill him :(
I also think his wife will:
1) Find out about them being Homonculus and be scared
2) Be killed by Greed

Loved Ed being a badass...also liked his temporary outfit change and the way he just gave no shits whatsoever.

However, the ending bits of the episode with Greed and Ling were easily the best for me. I love both of them to bits, and the scene with Bido was executed wonderfully...I actually felt bad for Greed when he'd realized what he'd done since he got bits of "previous greed's" memories back.

I definitely liked the territory they're delving into with regards to things like the soul, memories and rebirth...do you become an entirely different person when your slate is wiped clean, or is there really more to a person than their memories?

The stupid Winry fanservice will always be stupid. A shame that even a great work like Fullmetal Alchemist couldn't escape gross fanservice.

Anyways, the Ling x Greed interactions are always a pleasure to watch. Also, Ed was gorgeous in this episode.

Well then, Edward suddenly became more badass, clearing out those military goons with ease.
Also ... lmfao at the guy with the hand pistols taking Edward as a "hostage". :D

Would be cool if Ling can get his body back with all the powers that Greed has so basically Greed switching places with Ling in his own body.

What an awkward first reunion between Van and Alfons. Althlugh it quickly turned heart warmong when Al offered to help woth the building. Such a lovely scene.

It's nice to see Rose again, back on her own two feet and moving forward from the past. I didn't really think we would see her again but I am glad we did.

I very much appreciate how the manga and Brotherhood characterize Rose.

I was really put off that she was some type of crush for Ed and someone that Winry had to compete with in the 2003 anime.

Hohenheim was really lucky because he ended up talking to Alphonse first because he's the type of person who's never able to hate a guy as opposed to his hard-headed brother.

Ed escaping the authorities with his newfound allies was rather amusing but definitely illegal~

It's only a matter of time until Ling gets his body back from Greed because the Homunculus' memories started to resurface after he mercilessly killed the only person left in his precious gang of friends.

Ahhhh, this was an episode.

First off, Alphonse and Hohenheim are getting along and it was heartwarming when the latter thanked the former for trusting him. Was able to get a smile out of me. So Hohenheim tells Alphonse about his past and the Hounculus' origins.

It hurts seeing loved ones die before you do... yeah that's true as hell.

Oh yeah, guess who's back? Back again. Edward's back. Tell a friend! So he, Darius and Heinkel have been at a clinic. Soldiers from Central are trying to find them. Don't worry, Ed, they might not have liked your car design, but I thought it was neat! Now he has to make a move and find where Al is.

This episode ends nicely with Bido and Greed. Greed ends up killing him, but he regains his memories as a result. I loved Ling's rant at Greed. Then he has a nervous breakdown and eventually goes after King Bradley.

Wonderful episode!

what an awkward father-son reunion LMAO but touching scenes, especially with winry and rose

ED YES MY BOY IS BACK IN ACTION LOVE THAT FOR HIM

i love all the weird little team ups that happen in this show, ed with the chimeras, scar with marcoh, may and yoki

so greed has been guarding the humanoids all this time! and ling is still inside awake! i wonder who is really in control, ling, old greed or new greed? but it looks like some of old greed's memories are returning so he is fighting back omg this is getting good

Definitely noticed a change in quality in this episode. The interaction between Al and Hohenheim felt rushed and unsatisfying.

Also, the sudden Winry fanservice was jarring and unnecessary. Quite disappointed that the show felt the need to inject it when it hasn't so far. Pretty bad even a show so highly regarded doesn't manage to avoid putting in random fanservice.

Loved the Ling and Greed part where Ling was scolding Greed for killing his friend (although he did not have clear memory of him before stabbing him).

The whole "Old and New Greed" seems stupid, in fact, that friend from the first Greed looks like a plot device since if he had never appeared, then Greed wouldn't have that rushed betrayal. This is not from this episode but now I dislike how they ruined Scar. Besides that, it was a good episode.

All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

hohenheim tell every information about him. al discuss evey intel he gathered with his father. edward is alive and safe escaped from north milatary officers and thinking where might his brother al went? ling questioned greed you need women,status and everything.then why did you kill your own friend.

Greed remember past memories of past greed and raided further home.

Al doesn't see his dad for 10 years and all we get is "we'll talk later", wish it could've been more dramatic tbh. Ed's action scenes cringe asf as always

Greed's in denial of his self identity, pretty cool. I don't get how Ling's still subconsciously there when King Bradley on the other hand is completely unaware of his identity

NOW we finally get to see Ling/Greed. Feels weird to not see them again until now

Edward's soft comeback was low-key kind of badass not gonna lie. Not from taking out all those soldiers, but rather just having his arms and mouth full of food, with a bad hair day, just not giving a single flying f*ck. Also I had to rub my eyes a little after seeing his custom car design. Was I still watching the same anime??

One of the best episodes is coming up next, or the one after that, when Edward and his two chimera buddies meets back up with the gang.

It was interesting to see the difference in how Edward and Alphonse react to seeing their father
In any case, I guess Alphonse has always been less confrontational and a little more forgiving
