Edward Elric PASSES State Alchemic Test

[@Mr.Lubbox-Lobsterlegz1]

The only reason Bradley didn’t turn Ed into Full-metal confetti here is because he saw how he preformed alchemy without a transmutation circle and thought to himself “hm he’d be a perfect sacrifice” so being a big show off both risked Ed’s life and saved it at the same time lol

[@emmanuelwil-jeff]

he also knows that ED say the eye of truth meaning not only did he perform human transmutation he had to lose something as well you could say if ED was willing to do all this and survive he's someone worthy

[@labbit35]

I feel like considering his homunculus abilities he saw through the attack and knew it wasn’t a actual attack

[@dspace4514]

Just realized that Bradley already had his sword out before he walked away.

[@AbRas644]

No he didn't. At 1:14, you can see his sword still in the scabbard. At 1:15, you hear a clinking sound similar to a sword draw or a gun cocking, but it was actually his blade cutting the spear. Brotherhood pays attention to detail, even the most minute ones.

[@Mr.Lubbox-Lobsterlegz1]

Yes that was implied…

[@AbRas644]

If he was, the anime would've ended by Episode 5.

[@Gelimer32002]

​@@AbRas644 I mean maybe I also mean him not being a homonculus as well so he wouldn't have his ultimate eye but he would still be pretty strong but still I was sort of sad to find out about him being bad since he always acted so cool he was like the fun uncle you may or may not have wanted

[@AbRas644]

@@Gelimer32002 Then he'd be killed off WAY before that person killed by Envy. Looking at his past, all his skills are due to his own training. Had he been a good guy, he'd be the greatest threat to the guy's plans. I'm actually glad that he was a villain, cause 7 times out of 10, these fun old guys don't really get to flex themselves and we never really see just how badass they really are in animation, either due to cancellations or bad story writing. We hear their legends, but don't see why they're legendary. With his villain side, we see that the title of Fuhrer is not just some ornament for show like most titles, but is rather a true measure of why this man is the leader of this country.

[@alluceoave]

If Bradley was good he would’ve just went and captured all the homunculus himself😂

It's because everything else goes silent for a moment and the clap reverberates.

People dont see the meme braley created. Ed is now fullmetal while his brother, the walking suit of armour, is who people point to when hearing the name :D

[@misterOrca4]

I bet he did that as pay back for Ed not showing Bradley respect.

This one wasn't bad, but the exam in the original series was a lot more detailed in what they had to do, Him turning the collision of the ballon and steel tower into a wreath of flowers was truly spectacular.

[@j.j.1517]

The 1st 15 episodes in the original were way better, we actually spent time developing them. FMAB rushed through all of it to get to the mid-part.

[@rokia360]

@@j.j.1517 the biggest thing they skipped over in the brotherhood animem was the coal miner guy who became imoportant later. we didnt get to see eds whole false gold thing that ruined him.

[@adaphion]

I'm of the opinion that you can watch FMA 2003 up until about episode 25, maybe skipping a few filler episodes here and there, and then you should switch to Brotherhood

[@meydintorki]

If I had a nickel every time someone charged at Wrath with a transmutated spear, I'd have two nickels.

[@khfan4life365]

Which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

[@allenr316]

lol... or make the name stupidly obvious and say "1/6th Metal Alchemist". 🤣🤣

[@Yonkage-ik5qb]

I like how the guy behind Bradley has his gun drawn, but not pointed at Edward. He's the only one who can see that Bradley already has his sword out, so there is no need to defend him.

[@AbRas644]

Good thing he used a spear and not something like a sword or dagger, else Winry would need to work on some SERIOUS cybernetic mods!😂

[@ash18001]

I don't think they are that far advanced yet and besides he'll be far shorter then he is now.

[@markhunter3533]

The guy in charge of naming alchemists has a gift for naming them.

[@JasonThies-sz4js]

I liked the other version better. Ed asks why Bradley is leaving himself so open to assassination. Bradley responds that a much better question is when did I draw my sword. Halberd falls apart.

[@coreyb1295]

Is that a prosthetic? Yeah lost my arm in Nam

[@chadleach6009]

Lol love how ed loved his name at first but then after nearly everyone assumes it's his brothers.

[@edgemileham4487]

I like how all of the top rank alchemists know that the only way to perform a transmutation without drawing a circle is to have attempted to ressurect someone yet none of them realise that Edward attempted to resurrect his mother. Especially since the price for attempting himan resurrection is to sacrifice a body part.

[@dirtydan2695]

Imagine if Bradley had a bigger sense of humor and named him, “Short-Round” Alchemist 😂

[@mysterygamer4086]

when ed points his spear at bradley you can hear metal cutting the air and you may confuse it for edwards spear but its actually bradley drawing his sword
