Izumi's training huh? Nice idea for a special but execution isn't as good as one can expect from this story. Still not bad.

Hehe now that's how training should be =P
Great the see a more immature version of her too.

Though the love story at the end was the best, laughed throughout xD
"You dropped your bear" like it's a normal everyday occurrence to see people running around with full grown bears on their shoulders :P

The training part was okay, but I ended up laughing at the love story part. That really amused me.

Nothing great, but it was sufficiently amusing. Worth it just for the fated encounter after the credits.

so thats how they met, always wondered about that and no wonder shes so freaking strong and scary, i guess a month in that type of environment would do it

"You dropped your bear" was the funniest part for me. It was like he was talking about a stuffed toy dropped by a young maiden...except the bear was real and dead.

The training wasn't anything special but lmao at the "first love" story after the credits. The way it was presented as a ridiculous shojo was hilarious :D

Anyway, Izumi is badass, 'nuff said.

Also, interesting how the threads for these episodes end up with so fundamentally different names : D

I love it!!!
Not only was Izumi a dope, but quite unfortunate, yet her missfortune actually beneifited her.
I think she was fairly generous in sending Ed and Al to a deserted island.

The silly Izumi and Sig get-together was the highlight however, it was so funny; exchange a grizzily bear and their hads touch.
They've "been lovey-dovey ever since".
Ed and Al's faces.:p

Lol, this episode is really hilarious. As expected from Ed's master XD.

For a second, i thought i saw Bradley when i saw Izumi husband. Somehow he resembles Bradley.


Also i never thought that in his youth he is a slim person.

That was odd (especially the 'after-credits') but entirely amusing.
If Izumi left the mountain after that, how did she and Sig end up a couple?

Now I'm wondering how Sig gained all that muscle?

The training part was indeed sufficiently amusing, with parts where Izumi was about to give up and "revived" suddenly, and all the faces the animals made in response to whatever she was doing... but YES, the best part was the ridiculous shoujo-parody love story at the end. XD That actually made me chuckle, especially, as everyone has said, where Sid said "You dropped your bear" so casually.

Ahaha, at least we now know where Izumi got her idea for Ed and Al's training, and how she met her hubby~

That was awesome. I liked when she pwned the bear.I liked it even better when she pwned Gold Steiner.
I had the same expression as Ed and Al when I saw the love at first sight XD
These specials are great, they give us alittle more of the FMA universe without barging into the main series!

Izumi is a boss. Most badass femal in FMA:Brotherhood for sure. Although Olivier might give her a run for her money.

Now we know why she was manhandling Sloth LoL.

I liked it. It explains how she became he fighter she is, but I still don't get where she learned her Alchemy.
The way in which she met her husband...I didn't see that sort of thing coming.

I thought Izumi survived because she was stealing food from Briggs, they mentioned it when Ed and Al first arrived at Briggs.

yeah, i actually remember them saying someone dug a deep hole in the head quarters and wonder if it was a enemy spy or something.

it was a funny and cool episode, at least we know how Izumi take on a grizzly bear!

plus seeing Izumi at 18 years old is soo lovely!!!!

the Gold Steiner was such a liar!!

the love story part was funny XD

seeing Sig as a young man was awesome XD

it's not everyday you see someone carrying a bear around, so that was funny as hell XD

last episode, i wonder who's the star :)

Best special so far. Now we know why she's a legend in Briggs. And her love story was fantastic "You dropped your bear!"

Her husband reminded me a bit of the Fuhrer with that tache.
