Great episode, glad Ed didn't went and go sacrifice those criminals just for the sake of creating that stone. Scar was pretty damn badass with his random cameo in this episode.

Scar was really cool.

Not surprised Ed was hesitant.

Wow. Some of you people seriously make me sick. You're vile. You're no better than those you condemn. You want to kill someone for killing someone? You do realise that that makes you a murderer, right? We'd better kill you now. And then get someone to kill the person who kills you. And then kill them. Do you also realise that a criminal can be someone who just stole a TV? Are you seriously saying a TV is equivalent value to a person's life?

I can't even.

Good episode. Glad Ed didn't do it.


But is life in prison without a chance for parole any better than dying. Life in prison is still a death sentence, its just the long, slow way.

I'm against death sentences and life sentences, both of them. I believe that every human has to have the opportunity to change and return to society. If we kill a criminal or imprisionate him/her forever we are just taking the easy path.

Got to say that the anime was kind of slow and didn't quite see what makes everyone love FMA until the last 4 episodes (excluding episode 7, that one was great). Not to say it was bad. Far, far from it. If the anime keeps at a consistent pace like the last 4 episodes then I may consider giving this a 10.

Yeah the show has really been a thrill these last few episodes.


Seems the Crimson Alchemist has broken free from prison with some new friends and Lust, Gluttony and Envy being able to pass the military with an insider it would seem.
Their only wish is to become human, that kinda changed my feelings towards them.

Cool episode for sure.

Gluttony's disguise was 100% Legit.

I think painting criminals as all in the same is uncivil at best.
At one point of my life, I might be inclined to believe this as well, but people can change. Will every criminal change? Certainty not. But giving people the chance to properly change is the most grace one could give someone, assuming this is not putting another human in immediate danger.

Great episode! So much happening, glad to see that they picked up the pace.

Damn, Ed came awfully close to the dark side there. Luckily Scar saves the day...maybe he is starting to realize that the brothers are not the type of alchemist he despises so much. Future ally incoming?
Lt. Ross is the hero this episode. Although it's hard to believe that a simple hug would break his frenzy...

Oh, and how can the homunculi just walk straight out with ragtag uniforms on? Is military personnel really that blind? More importantly, does Bradley's assistence praising the homunculi means that she is not who she appears to be? Maybe another homunculi or even the boss him-/herself? Is Bradley being used or is he involved as well? From Hughes reaction to him back at the base, he does not trust Bradley any longer. This is getting interesting!

The biggest thing for me was Envy saying that Ed has HIS blood. So what role does his father play in all of this? Maybe he created the homunculi and is the "father" they were talking about. If so, Ed's blood could be very important to them. That would explain why they try to keep him alive (for now).

I am pleasantly surprised at Lt. Ross's character. Such sweet storytelling, taking its time to make us understand how she started caring for the brothers. Probably in the minority when I say I prefer FMA over FMAB pacing(stopped at ep. 11, planning to continue after FMA). Many heartfelt moments fell flat in FMAB, and I was not a fan of the jokes. I feel more connected with the characters' struggles and emotions.

I fully understand the brothers' position about sacrificing humans. Sure, they are grotesque criminals, but it mustn't be easy to take someone's life, especially when they can't defend themselves. Great episode!
Oh, and I fkn hate Gluttony!

2022 rewatch
oooo this was one hell of an episode. i completely forgot that kimblee works with greed in the 03 fma. there's a lot to unpack in this episode. ed almost makes the philosopher stone before scar stopped him. not gonna lie though, the part where he almost "turned into a god" because he came in contact with the red water was pretty weird, especially how he was then snapped out of it because he was hugged? i don't really think any of that was necessary, not gonna lie.
can't wait to see more of greed though!
