Shame Greed dies so quickly, but outside of Al being fairly useless, that was a great episode. Bradley was badass.

Martel's death is pretty devastating regardless of the version. I can't imagine what Al went through having someone get stabbed inside of him when he was wanting to protect her.

For some reason, it felt like King Bradley was the villain instead of Greed's chimeras because of how brutally he dispatched of them, especially with that armor deathblow. It turns out that it was for good reason too because the Fuhrer President's one of those monsters! I think that he's an artificial Homunculus because of the possibility of him having that Ouroboros eye implanted in him.

Greed was so greedy about his own ideals that he became the first one to go, melting in gold and turning into wine that was ingested by Father, a guy who looks awfully like the Elric Brothers' dad.

We get so much information.

The oroboros tattoo gang are homunculous made from Father, and Bradley is one of them, being Wrath. Also RIP this version of greed.

what a loaded episode! i loved it!

the fight scene between bradley and greed was Great
seeing hohenheim (i'm guessing) as the father was cool, hopefully this version will explain more about who he is than the original
also they mentioned al and izumi would be suitable sacrifices.......... for what?!

and now i'm guessing this is alllll a new storyline which is very exciting for me i cannot wait!!

King Bradley turning out to be evil is a sort of fun plot twist, I just wish it hadn't been telegraphed so obviously by the fact that he is called Fuhrer and looks like Hitler.

Hahaha yeah, I was thinking the same. It's pretty obvious from the get-go that he's a villain. Still, the buildup was done pretty well and he's shown to be a worthy adversary in this episode. His fighting skills are really badass and also terrifying tbh.

True. At least instead of having a cut-rate Hitler, we get a leveled-up OP Hitler...thank goodness he's stuck in another world where they haven't invented trucks.

Bradley vs Greed was pretty fun to watch, and many little reveals too (including Father). Overall, a really enjoyable episode as a whole with some grim moments featured as well like with Martel being stabbed by Bradley through the gap in Alphonse's armor.

King Bradley defeating Greed and killing all his subordinates was brutal. The relevation was kinda good too. I'm curious what will happen later.

Bradley and Armstrong lead a team of state military soldiers to raid Greed's hideout, though the former is using it as cover to hunt down and execute Greed. The state military soldiers fire at
Roa and Dolcetto, but the two survive. Bradley goes into the sewage passageway beneath the hideout, and he duels against Greed there.
However, Greed is severely weakened by the
Führer, who reveals his true identity as Wrath. Roa and Dolcetto, who have come to save Greed, are killed by the Führer. Martel, who is hiding inside
Alphonse, attempts to choke Bradley to death, but she is stabbed from outside the armor. Her blood splashes on Alphonse's blood seal and unlocks his forgotten memories. Alphonse reveals to
Edward that he managed to recover all of his memories prior to being taken away from the
Gate of Truth when Edward failed in his human transmutation attempt to revive their mother.
Greed is taken back as a captive to Father, who was disappointed in him after he deserted the rest of the homunculi. When Greed refuses to rejoin the homunculi, he is melted alive to a liquid philosopher's stone, which is then consumedby
Father.

Pretty good episode
Followed the manga mostly .
removed two or three things I wished they would have added , but oh well.
Either way , this was mostly a " how and why " episode.
Showed why and how the brother came to be how they are.
with Ed seeing the Truth .
then Roy meeting the brothers
Ed vowing to take 1 year to recover and him consequently being able to transmute without Circles thanks to him having seen "IT" ( and Al not remembering).
And finally Ed's Exam to become a state alchemist , where he promtly attacked Bradly who told him he still doesn't know the world xD.
Thus showing how the fuhrur gave Ed an "ironic" name : the FullMetal Alchemist.

Next week , they goin' to Liore/Reole ~

oh , and the score was pretty darn awesome. Akira Senju delivers !!

God that was a great episode so much going on. The fight that King Bradley had with Greed was really good, so intense and definitely showed off his fighting prowess as it were. The one thing I certainly was not expecting at all was the very twist at the end that King Bradley is actually in league with Lust, Gluttony and Envy. THAT I did not see coming and considering I have not read the manga or watched a lot of episodes of the original anime this was definitely a surprise to me. And it looks like Father is Ed and Al's father looks are gonna pretty intense should they meet up again.

We knew there were some fishy things about the military but this was still a surprising reveal 
Izumi seemed to notice something off with Bradley towards the end of their conversation but it's hard to tell what exactly she noticed... 
Also do Edward and Alphonse still not know about Hughes's death? If not, I'm not sure why Armstrong didn't tell them right there and then considering how they're probably going to find out as soon as they get back to central

this episode was fine but there were problems. first how Bradly found Greed's location? Why Bradly was there with full Army? Why didn't Armstrong tell the boys about Hughes? Here is my opinion about the series so far. In my opinion the writer had really good ideas but, the writer did not know how to tell the story. The writer wanted things to go that way but didn't care to explain it properly. In my opinion this series is 6/10 so far. It is not a masterpiece.

Now, now... Bradley is not the "Father" we've been hearing about... maybe that "Father" is... Ed and Al's father? :O I'm just guessing from the silhouette (?) of his hair.

However, I didn't expect at all that Bradley is "Wrath", the brother of Lust and Envy etc. I already thought that he wasn't a good guy, but didn't think he was part of them.

Bradley said that Al and Sensei could be a sacrifice, but before that he offered Sensei to become the state alchemist... if Sensei accepted the offer, would Bradley not sacrifice her? Because he didn't mention Ed either. Is he "protecting" the state alchemist? Although it's hard to believe. It's a good thing that Ed and Al have started to suspect the military, I honestly wanted them to know that Hughes was dead (to make them more aware and careful), but I can appreciate Armstrong's decision not to tell them.

Now I have so much hope in Mustang. But even if he succeeds, it will all be in vain if he dies because he won't feel the fruits of his labor. So please stay alive until the end...

Ah and. Greed is a great character. It's sad that he only appeared in two episodes.
