This was the most badass episode to date, for me. Aside from the doll fighting on Ed's end (I think someone mentioned in another episode thread he should just make a giant pit or something for them to fall into... that sounded like an excellent idea). The battle between Al and Pride/Kimblee was amazing, and I didn't see Ed make any battle mistakes, except not paying attention to Kimblee when he finally caught Pride the second time. Marcoh's arrival, and then even Yoki's assistance was unexpected, but at least they're entrances were flashy. Never expected Kimblee to go down that easily. But his death, like Pride mentioned, fit his philosophy on life.

Olivier and Armstrong double team was just as excellent. Him making the wounds and her attacking those wounds to actually inflict injury was great teamwork. Never expected Sloth to be the fastest homunculus, and he does have one hell of a powerful attack, but as they both figured out, he has no control over direction, or stopping until he hits something, so Armstrong was able to use that to his advantage very nicely. And I especially liked Olivier's provocation of the soldier's, demanding they think for themselves.

I am greatly looking forward to each episode now. I can only assume the battles are going to become much greater than the 3(4) that took place in this episode.
