This is a really heavy episode. Military corruption, rape, murder... It's a lot for the brother's to take in let alone more for the people that lived through those horrors...

OH MY GOODNESS this was intense, my heart is racing with everything that happened and the reveals!!!!

it totally makes sense that bradley is a homunculus too, but idk i always figured it was actually envy. and rose, that was so messed up! i know this show gets dark at times but this was really immense to suggest. also just as i had started to like martel, how brutal was that!! and traumatising for al (and me)!

MAN this show

Very dark but great episode! We see Martel killed, Rose's tragic fate, Scar's backstory and Bradley's true self. Now I'm only hoping that the "good" military guys like the Elric's and Roy can intervene in time before we see another massacre take place in Lior. Oh...and Lyra is back and it's probably not just me who doubts her good girl act, right?

Aw the Fuhrer is so nice, doing a favor to Al just like that. Now seriously, this is become really good, I guess that at this point I can safety assume that the Fuhrer is Pride.
You're probably right. Bradley was shifty right from the start, so not too surprised about it. I wonder if his eye has some kind of foresight since that would explain how the homunculi always knew where Ed and Al were.

I don't understand why the Fuhrer kept Al alive.
It's weird since Martel most likely told him what she saw. Why not quickly tie up that loose end? Unless he still needs Al for something else...

What a goddamn episode. Martel's death by King Bradley through the gap in Alphonse's armor was fucked, and really everything about the world happening is fucked. From Rose seemingly to be raped, to learning some of Scar's backstory here, to the amount of corruption happening out there in general with the military as a whole. The music and the darker tones shined so well that even I had to pause the episode for a bit and just take it all in.

Happy to see that useless snake type chimera died. She should've said it faster instead of taking the nap in Al's armour.

2022 rewatch
that reveal of bradley being a homunculus and then killing martel while she was inside of al is enough to give this episode 5 stars. i remember being shocked when i learned that bradley was a homunculus. i obviously knew he was involved with homunculi, but i didn't expect him to be one. rip martel, you were a great character.
the backstory with scar was pretty decent as well, but i do remember liking his backstory in brotherhood even though i don't remember it too much. does anyone else find weird how scar's hair suddenly grayed out? while his brother's wasn't? obviously the reason why scar's hair is white in brotherhood is because all isvhvallans have white hair, but in 03 they have brown hair.

That was a very dark episode even for full metal alchemist.I didn't like the beginning but the second half of the episode was really well done.I wonder what the Fuhrer's power is or what that eye is?
Read Toriko!
