One thing I find... "funny"?, is when Hughes death makes people devastated.. they're already devastated, and they haven't even reached the sad part yet; Elicia at the funeral.

[@Timonsaylor]

That was... the most raw reaction to this episode I've ever seen. Mustang is my favorite character in this show - the way he handles grief over the death of his best friend and the dynamic he has with hawkeye is just so perfect. Something else about that line "it's a terrible day for rain" - remember that gag early on about how Mustang is powerless in the rain? The funeral scene does such an incredible job capturing how Roy feels with that one line.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Roy went from being sus to the guy I trust most. I was heartbroken about Hughes, but also seeing how that affected Roy broke me.

[@patrickwaldeck6681]

We feel you girl, they made us like and care about Hughes, and then that happens, that day it rained for us all 😭

[@cobusvanderlinde6871]

The "terrible day for rain" line is great but I think it overshadows Roy' rumination on alchemists and the temptation to attempt human transmutation. He's seen what an attempt at human transmutation can do to you, after all, he's seen the Elrics, and he knows that they didn't even get their mom back, and even so, standing in front of Hughes' grave, a part of him is seriously considering taking that risk.

[@lyrebirb83]

I dont think it's consideration. I think it's literally understanding. very much "I dont condone, but I get it." even if he condones it by not reporting him.

[@cobusvanderlinde6871]

@@lyrebirb83 The understanding comes from feeling the temptation. If he weren't, it would not give him an understanding of what drove the Elrics.

[@CosmicGhidorah]

The temptation enters Mustang's mind briefly because he's grieving and at his lowest, but the difference is that he's mature and intelligent enough to throw away that temptation and not act upon it. He's able to empathize with the brothers because of his own grief and says something like alchemists are terrible because all grieving ones seem to go straight to "how can i use my power to reverse my trauma?" So while the thought entered Roy's mind, I don't think he ever considered acting upon it.

[@MeatSim9]

Welcome to the fandom. You are now one of us. Nina is the warm-up. Hughes is the real trial. But you're far from done yet. Hughes is the prime example of death bait. A great dad, everyone loves him, he's got a family at home, and he said he'd try to come home early.

[@scottw5247]

Some things you were questioning, the symbol on Ed's coat and Al's armor is called a Flammel cross, and the reason Bradley gave a melon was because fruit is pretty expensive in japan and is commonly used as well meaning gifts

[@gatr2897]

There's 2 classic things in this show that almost every anime fan knows even if they haven't watched this show: the talking Chimera, and "It's a terrible day for rain." This show is so good at twisting the knife. They spent so much time in the first 9 episodes building up this seemingly somewhat minor character only to kill him off and make it the catalyst for *so* much. There's no minor characters in this show. They're all important and now they're ALL in danger. The cut between Hughes death, Ed Al and Winry on the train, and then immediately to the funeral is so devilish.

I feel like this is bordering dangerously on being a spoiler. Implying these are the only 2 famous shocking scenes would lead someone believe there aren't any more of these types of scenes in the next 54 episodes...

"He's wonderful, suck it Ed" and "Because he cares, @sswipe" . I've watched a lot of reactions to this show, never had this reaction to this scene before. Love your videos.

[@Molto_Benny]

I knew you were gonna bawl your eyes out at this episode, and I don't blame you one bit. FMA is one of those shows that I absolutely love, but it always manages to tear me apart during these moments. Hughes' death shattered me the first time I watched, and Mustang's reaction did too. "It's a terrible day for rain" is a heartbreaking line for two reasons. First, he's saying it because of his tears, which is the obvious implication. However, Mustang is notoriously useless on rainy days, due to the nature of his alchemy. He feels useless during Hughes' funeral, because he couldn't do anything to save his best friend. Even knowing what's coming, I still tear up every time I watch this episode.

[@atlachanacha]

[@mskain4896]

As an older, lifelong anime fan, my first introduction to the FMA universe was the original 2003 anime and I didn't even get a hold of the manga until after I had finished watching all of it. In FMA (2003), Hughes lasts until the 16th episode, and his death is perhaps even MORE crushing, because 2003 added a miniarc where Ed prepares for his state alchemy exam and stays with Hughes and Gracia during that time--and the birth event (which by now you've seen of course, being in the next episode about Rush Valley) was transferred to Gracia giving birth to Elicia ON ED'S 12th BIRTHDAY while the boys were staying with them. Hughes' death was super soul-crushing...and yet, even suspecting it was coming in the canon story, it's hard not to cry every time I read the chapter or watch the episode. One of the very, very saddest deaths in anime/manga history.

about the melon Bradly gave as a gift. in japan its hard to grow plants that take up alot of space like melons so theyre quite expensive. giving one like he did is considered extravagant and a power move, but also very thoughtful because of the cost

[@crystalzonder]

No role will be forgotten in this anime. They will be always by other people's side. Nina and Hughes are actually very important milestones for Ed and Al to grow (mentally) along their ways. It is actually quite interesting to see how long Roy takes to at last let go with Hughes' death.

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

This episode is the very reason I looked at episode one on my homepage and said "Oh no!" 😅 I first went through this 18 years ago. Hearing you say how much you liked Hughes in this episode and the last, you're right there with all of us.

[@ElMonoFuerte]

Just to add a light layer of emotional damage: Elicia is shouting about how much important work "Daddy" has to do, because he told her "...[Daddy] has a bunch of important work to do...but I promise I'll do it as fast as possible." So to her: once his important work is done, Daddy will be home. At least Hughes got to say goodbye to everyone before it all went wrong...

Somewhere out there a writing staff is thinking, "let's create a lovable character so we can kill them off and piss off the viewers."

[@JakkFrost1]

Not a completely unheard of writing device, The Orville did it too, but most shows usually go the route of focusing heavily on a side character only for the episode in which they're killed. Most writers don't seem to like intentionally putting that much development into non main characters they plan to kill off.

I think the bits cutting to Ed, Al and Winry are the ones that hurt the most. They demonstrate how the world doesn't just stop just becasue someone died. It goes on and people talk normally about that person, because they don't know. Ed complaining at any other time would have elicited no more than a "Don't be so uptight" with a little smile, but in this context, you suddenl know that he will never be able to tell hughes "Thank you" he won't even be able to say "You spoil your daughtr" or "Jeez I am tired of hearing about how wonderful your wife is" And you just now that their world will come crumbling down too, once they learn.

Ed and Al were never planning human transmutation while under their teacher's care. Their teacher was just teaching them the principals of alchemy in general.

I'm a fairly new viewer of your channel. I've watched all of your Fallout episodes and I'm caught up on this now. I've watched FMA:B so many times, and now whenever I get the urge to watch it again, I find a reactor that is watching it for the first time. I can never get a "first view" again, so I like seeing other's fresh reaction. I just have to say, I'm really enjoying how much you catch and make connections while watching.

"You know who I love?" Before you even said it I said Bradley lmao. Putting your powers to good use. This episode, and the one in the original Full Metal Alchemist series, still get to me. The show builds Hughes up so much so fast, it's meant to be extremely shocking.

that favorite character list was what I needed to brighten after the darkness

And there it is. The most devastating episode of the series (in my opinion). This episode and the one with the little girl and the dog are the two episodes that make me sob the most, every time without fail. Narratively, Hughes’s death serves an important purpose. It shows the audience that no one is safe. There is no such thing as plot armor in this show, and the bad guys are playing for keeps. They made us love him so that they could take him away and give us that anxiety of “if they can kill Hughes, then who’s next?!” Hughes will always be one of my favorite characters in any media. He was a wonderful husband, a fantastic friend, and a devoted dad. Rest easy, Hughes. 💔❤️‍🩹

The cross on Ed and Al is a symbol their teacher have as well, it's called the Flamel Cross after Nikolas Flamel the famous real life alchemist

I really appreciate the long and thoughtful opening and ending commentaries each episode. I've seen both Alchemist shows a billion-thousand times each, myself, but it's fun to see a new fan think about what's happening, expressing their thoughts and and asking questions. It's refreshing and great. Aside from the reaction, itself, _that_ alone is genuinely fun to listen to. Enjoy the journey! Incidentally, that said, I'm also a sympathetic crier, so respectfully go to Hell for getting my tears flowing here, dammit... lol

I know the scenario. But it's you who made me cry.

To lighten the mood a little bit, a story I found in the anniversary book. So, there's a series of companion novels (light novels?) for FMA, not written by the author, but she does oversee the lore and stuff for them(they're not required reading don't worry). Anyways, apparently during one meeting with the author of the novels, the novel author made a comment about liking Hughes (and possibly wanting to do something with Hughes in the next book?). At which point Arakawa-sensei(the manga author) and her editor just went dead silent and started nervously sweating and looking at each other. Because, this whole conversation took place BEFORE Hughes died (it's not specified how far before but it sounded like no more than like, a couple chapters, so it was very close to happening). And the poor novelist was just like 'what's wrong, what's going on, what aren't you telling me?????'. Like, talk about the worst timing ever.
