I would like to believe that Arakawa is done with the manga and bones has a copy of it right now. It would be redundant to come all this way and not end it in the same way as the manga.
Well when one is fast as lightning and has steel skin to top it off, why not become a human cannonball? Any less sturdy than Alex and those attacks would have cleaned up everything. For those who remember the Alex vs Scar fight (where he pulls back when Hawkeye shoots), not only is that guy a tank. He's also crazy fast.
Kimblee... damn that guy went down in style.
Using the OP5 so soon in a fight feels....fast. So what are they going to use for the actual big guns?

Kimblee went down like a man. I don't blame him not seeing it coming, despite being such a though and through killer. The lion chimera is practically designed to jump and bite somebody's neck without giving a chance to react.
Man, i am SO looking forward to some Bradley action!! GO WRATH!

Wow downloaded the sd version, put it on my flash drive (win32). Then on my ps3...... watched it on the hd..... really good animation, you actually see Al kick ass this time, and kimblee I feel sorry for him. Best episode so far!

I wonder if Al agreed beforehand to this plan or if most of it was improvised seeing as both Al and Ed have been against killing and seeing people die before them all this time.

if you are talking about kimblee, then pride "acted" like he doesnt want to kill him at all when the lion king used him as a shield... there is no way al would know that pride was going to actually kill another ally
He meant if Al actually planned for Lion King to take out Kimblee's throat, which usually has a very good chance of killing, or whether Al just thought of healing him and/or asking for some non-lethal help.
Either way, Al didn't seem too shocked at the way things turned out.

Just as I thought Mustang has the most overwhelmingly powerful Alchemy as far as "normal" folks are concerned, I remembered that there's supposedly an "Ultimate" flame alchemy out there.
I'd hate to be at the receiving end of that one....
I love how try as May could, she couldn't come up with a decent reason why she came back, and simply apologised. It was.. sweet.
Money's on Mustang being Envy in that last scene.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
If we count out the preview I'd still agree with you, if it was Mustang it seemed kinda stupid to just turn his back on a possible Envy and put his hands in his pocket. Besides was under the impression that while Envy can copy the form of people he can't exactly create weapons.
About the ultimate flame alchemy, I wonder if that isn't what Mustang been using since Hawkeye seemed to give him the information on it or maybe he's using a form of it. Though if it is then it isn't so ultimate if it's useless on rainy days.
Edit: by the way am I the only one that feels that not every homunculus fits their name? Wraith doesn't really feel so wraithy other than when he fights but he seems pretty level minded and collected even then. Envy doesn't really give of that kind of feeling though his abilities fits. Though Gluttony and Sloth do fit quite well.

sloth doesn't fit either
i mean, he is the fastest and probably the strongest (physicaly)
only Gluttony and Lust fit...
i noticed that too.
Greed is not greedy enough imho
and Pride is more or less a sadist.
Wrath is way to calm.. when he fought Greed I expected him to ravage and rage over his dead body etc. :/
Slothfulness is an attitude/character rather than a physical attribute.
@fireheart: Mustang was denied his master's ultimate alchemy when he decided to join the army. There hasn't been any mention of Hawkeye giving it to him.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
first off, this was a great episode with the parts about the radio station. one of the things i absolutely love about this anime (and the manga) is that it's just as smart as it is entertaining. one of the first things you do when you stage a coup is take control of the media, then tell everyone how you're the one "doing the right thing"
it's also lovely to see the people at the station gleefully pretending to be hostages. won't journalists stop at anything to get the big story?
Envy and Mustang. this one had to be coming. there are several linked bad guy - good guy pairs in this show, but none are as solid as Mustang and Envy (personally I'm still shocked that Scar and Kimblee never got resolved). the others are Wrath and GreedLin, (the two kings), Sloth and Female Armstrong (the strong willed vs the weak willed), Pride and Al (at least I have a feeling they're a pair, the first created Faux Body and the one without a body) and, of course, Hoenheim and Father.
manga knowledge prevents me from discussing certain things, but i, for one, really was interested to see just how some of Mustang's attacks were aimed at Envy. that's all i can really say, and if you've been following the manga, i hoped you picked up on that as well...
so you guys are going on about Homunculi names not fitting their personality?
Krazy, what the hell? You think Lust's character fits her name/sin? Please get me in touch with your drug dealer. Lust never, ever, ever talks about anything having to do with sex. She had tons of scenes early on, and she never showed attracted or desire for anyone (aside from wanting to fight Mustang, I believe). Sure, her Attack Trait is straight out of Sigmund Freud, but other than that...
Greed is not greedy enough? He's the only Homunculi to turn against his creator, in order to pursue his own whims, and he's repeatedly said how he wants everything to be his.
BuffalloBill is absolutely right. Sloth is fast, sure, but he's lazy as sin (pun intended). Think how fast he could have finished that tunnel if he'd gone all out
Envy... well, at least his Attack Trait fits his sin name. Trying to imitate others is a hallmark move of the envious, and so is despising them just as hard as you try to copy them. And let's not forget the theme about his(? is Envy really a man? i always thought that was up for contention) preference to appear in a "young body"
Wrath, well... he only has that one scene where he tells Mustang he was furious when Hughes' daughter was crying at his funeral. Other than that, he seems alot more prideful than wrathful...
Gluttony, of course, is spot on
Pride... I really don't think the name fits him very well. He does sometimes act very calm and collected and sure of himself. I think about what Hoenheim said, about how Father made him to look like the thing in the Flask that Father used to be... to me, it feels like the name "Pride" is something Father gave to him, showing that he has Pride in his not being human (I think that's a common trait among the homunculi)
and, yeah, fuck anime cliffhangers...
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Buffalobiian: Well you might be right about that, always assumed that while Mustangs master denied him the ultimate flame alchemy Hawkeye showed it too him. Also thought it fit since she also joined the army and that Mustang told her to watch his back/shot him if he strays from the path. Thought he meant that she have the right because of the knowledge she gave him. But it's just my interpretation, don't really have any facts or anything to back it up with so might be quite wrong about it.
Completely forgot about Greed for some reason, while his personality fit in wanting everything I can't say the same about his abilities same goes for Sloth I guess that his personality fits but not his ability. Pride is a mixed bag I think, he seems proud over his position as the first homunculus and ordering the other homunculus around. I've also wondered what exactly Wraths ultimate eye does, does it just see everything or what.

I always thought Wrath's eye gave him enhanced perception, seeing blindingly fast attacks in with detail such that he can read moves, much like an inner eye.

Their names have nothing to do with their abilities. Their names are their personalities. Hell, it makes it that much better to have the fastest/brute strength be in Sloth. Everything is such a drag to him and he always wants to do nothing, but he got furious when he couldn't take it easy.
Envy: DONT LOOK AT ME! Simple as that.
Downloading now and will watch in a few hours.
How fucking hot is Mustang when he's pissed? A lot. I quite enjoyed the second half of this episode. The first part was rather boring, but the last half went by very quickly.
she's a slut, and everyone in the series wants to do herKrazy, what the hell? You think Lust's character fits her name/sin? Please get me in touch with your drug dealer. Lust never, ever, ever talks about anything having to do with sex.

she might not be that lascivious herself but at least u can tell what she is.
and not to mention that she was the girlfriend of 3 or 4(?) guys at the same time.
and Greed is not greedy enough because he shares and starts doing stuff with his friends or "minions" instead of pushing them asside and claiming everything for himself.
I've seen villains being a lot more greedy than him... in nearly every anime.
even though I like Greed the most (his transformation-"look" is awesome)
Sloth is nothing more than a retardBuffalloBill is absolutely right. Sloth is fast, sure, but he's lazy as sin (pun intended). Think how fast he could have finished that tunnel if he'd gone all out
his name should be "Dumb" or something like that... the only reason u are able to tell that he is Sloth is because he keeps complaining all the time.
srsly.. a bodybuilder and high-speed-sportsman represents "Sloth"?
I expected to see some skinny/pale guy who keeps yawning and nearly fall asleep when talking.
the "Sloth Demon" in Dragon Age represents the vice *alot* better.
and not to mention that Envy is probably the "pridest" of them all and would be the perfect "Pride"
he can't stand getting mocked by "mortals"
he always states his superiority whenever possible
etc.
