"The Blue Eyed Prince"

First off, the doppelganger.... WTF?!?! Thats some creepy sh*t if I ever saw it. Allen looks to be making a full recovery after Millerna's surgery and is making his best effort to warn the Fried. The captured pilot Miguel is the key to proving his accusations. Folken plays the situation masterfully using that freak, Zongi. And the tables are completely turned as everyone is now thrown into prison due to the false info the Prince was fed.

LOL @ Hitomi talking trash about Merle during Van's training.
And congrats to Van for finally learning a counter-measure to those d@mn stealth cloaks.

In the tradition of Fullmetal Alchemist manga-ka Hiromu Arakawa, I'd like to say goodbye to Miguel. You never had a chance.

The creepy guy who transfers into bodies reminded me of Mononoke.

As if seeing the invisible was not bad enough challenge now we have to see through obvious but totaly false picture as the perfectly reliable interrogator gets switched with agent of enemy.
Van is having trouble imagining things? But there are more ways to imagine something than seeing, too bad Hitomi can't teach her trick other than the way she does it herself. At least Van has got the idea and can practice it to some succes when combined with his warrior's training.

(rewatching again)

Uh-oh. Van learned how to see through those stealth-cloaks.

Oh wow, Zongi really does have the same voice actor as Oberstein.

That doppelganger is creepy af O_O

Cool, Van learned the pendant vision stuff. Now Hitomi doesn't nee to tell him where all the invisible Guymelefs are.

Ok so why did Chid believe that hostage instead of Allen...? Did the "hypnotist" alter his mind in some way? You'd think that you'd trust a guy you've heard great thnigs about from your mother over a hostage :/

Those english subtitles out there have weird orthographs. I thought the official roman retranscription of the prince's name (Shi-do) was Cid and I see " Shid", "Chid" everywhere. o_o

Pros:
-Van isn't totally helpless now
-Hitomi doesn't have to save Van anymore

Cons:
-Van doesn't need Hitomi anymore and now she is utterly useless
-Hitomi's only involvement in this series from this point on will be that weird love triangle with Allen (and I predict that she probably wont end up with Allen anyway)

This series is annoying but enjoyable at the same time. My brain doesn't know how to feel about this series.

That might have been the best episode yet. Digging the scene with Van trying to find the cloaked enemy, especially the music.

I hate Merle! I hope the doppelganger eats her.

I'm starting to think that maybe Chid is Allen's kid. Maybe his mother hid it? omg

The frightening Doppelganger is afraid of Hitomi's spiritual powers.

Chid's annoying.

Also, if "anyone" can use Hitomi's power, then why aren't there more precogs or psychics in this universe. I mean we get Praktu in this episode but if Van can just pull psychic powers out of his ass at any point in time, it stands to reason more people could do this.

This doppelganger is eerie and terrifying.

My guess is that Chid is Allen's son.

Great writing to make the prisoner lie about Allen...Things seem to be getting good.
