I don't think they are the same person. The daughter is stated to be 3 in this episode and episodes one looks like it was a only a short time in the future.

Same eye and hair color and both call him by the first name
Seems like a complete coincidence to me.
Milk (the taboo hunter from the first episode) looks like she is part of the nobility.

Do you guys think some sort of romance can develop between Ferris and Le- Ryner? I'm kinda hoping underneath all that tsun is even a little bit of dere.
Peace.
Hope not, woman's a bitch >_>
I'm sure there's a reason for her bitchiness though, I'll see if i like her after we get the details
Looks like traumatic childhood all around if the ending is any indication. I think she became the way she is as a sort of defense mechanism against her obviously twisted brother.
Romance? Yeah, I'd definitely be expecting something like that.
Hopefully.
@Ark: She said he's the only person to have gone easy on her besides her brother. That puts Ryner in the same category as her brother - if he's not better than her, than at least her equal.
But the thing is, she doesn't like him.He looks (to her) like a sex fiend.
To have such a person prove first hand to be as good as she is pisses her off.
It also explains why she left him to deal with all those traps in the first episode.
If you're so good, you can handle this yourself. mentality

Isn't it more of a "I know you're good, so you don't really need my help." trust thing?
Peace.
Contrary to Buff, I absolutely hope not. I'm tired of tsundere's paired with heroes. We get to see them everywhere. I think the easiest way to ruin the good adventure they have going here is to get involved romantically. It would destroy the dynamic the two have.
Ryner has Kiefer anyway. I think as both a possibly but unlikely casual antagonist (you never know, she wasn't all that weak on her own) and as a distant/returning romantic interest, she has a lot more potential. We know she's still out there somewhere, just not within the Roland Empire at this time.
I rather prefer Ferris and Ryner as they are, bickering, playing back and forth insults and on occasion attempting to show each other up. Ferris gets joy from upsetting him, and he gets it back in a similar way.
@Buff: I wouldn't consider that a positive. The reason she respects her brother is because she is all too aware that he can kill her in an instant. She doesn't mind dying by his hand out of loyalty, which is why he persuaded her with the destruction of the dango shop.
And her little sister takes after the brother despite her happy-go-lucky attitude. She's a closet sadist for sure.
I'm not expecting them to go all lovey-dovey, but I do think that something would have to change between them. They can try remaining that way (and for the most part I hope they do), but in that case, I'll be expecting some brief moments where they drop their front entirely.
@Ryll: I don't think it's positive neither, but similarly it's not a bad thing. She doesn't sound like she likes weak people, but at the same time, she'd like someone who's strong to "look" it.

i vote this series go en fuego. starting episode 3 its been great
I don't, because:
1) One single thread makes iteasierpossible to bump others about new episodes.
2) There appears to be no cross-episode/topic discussions to use the En Fuego's side-thread functions.
3) I don't see the community split between speedsubbers/HQsubbers who are weeks behind and don't want to be spoiled.
Besides, isn't the En Fuego section still around only because someone hasn't slapped all the FMA threads together?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
There isn't anymore enough community here to support en fuego. This thread has 36 replies after five episodes, which hardly indicates heavy discussion. En fuego is likely to disappear once Bud has merged the FMA threads.
I'm quite undecided yet about the Ferris and Ryner relationship. An adventure anime with a romance subplot would be the very definition of my favorite story, but it also assumes the characters are correct for it. As I see it, it would be a difficult development in this case. For all his peace loving ways, Ryner might fear his own past too much to really get close to anybody - he might live in a constant dread he will kill people around him, friends or foes equally. He showed Kiefer in no unambigious terms that he's not interested in deepening their relationship.
I agree with Dark Dragon on Ferris being damaged goods as well. The family is protectors of the kings but in reality that protection is more like assassinations, it seems. The very kings themselves included. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if Lucille killed their old man to become the head of the house. Ferris probably became weird to deal with it all. Under such circumstances I wouldn't think it too strange if she never became intimate with any men and left the continuity of the family to some concubines of Lucille.
The ending implied that Ryner, Ferris and Shion are the three central characters.
I just feel like Ryner has some sort of relationship going on with Keifer (keifar?) and doesn't really think of anyone else. The relation i see between Ryner and Ferris is closer to friendly hostility than anything else. They will probably end up in some sort of trust-partner relationship but i think romance would be weird. If anything, Ferris seems like she would be a better match with Shion if they were to develop a relationship.
The opening also make it seems like Ryner will end up sacrificing himself to save the world or something. "Ah, i can finally take my longest afternoon nap" or something along that line.
Actually if you think about it, Lucille should want to pair Ferris and Ryner. If the Alpha Stigma is at all hereditary, even Lucille could be proud of a nephew or niece in whom would be combined the magic eyes and Ferris's fighting abilities. Ryner himself would be hardly a threat to the house due to his laziness and how succumbed he is to Ferris's violent whims.
