And this was when I realized just how scary angry and vengeful Mustang was. We've seen those hints of darkness within him whenever Hughes was brought up, but this was just it finally coming all out. And as someone else said, I'm also really glad you guys understood what was going on with Mustang here. This episode and the next one (specifically the next one!) really divided a lot of fans in terms of what was happening with Mustang and how he was dealing with Envy.

[@despairwaffle6798]

"Shoot the white guys!" And "Don't shoot! This man isn't black!" Are 2 of my all time favorite lines in anime

Hughes realized it wasn't Ross because of the mole, and was going to throw a dagger and Envy switched to his wife and he hesitated.

[@r.a.fgattaiguy845]

then again, even if he did Ross perfectly, and Hughes knew it was Envy, I´m sure he would try to kill him anyway, it was the thought of hurting his wife that he couldn´t bear

[@darryljack6612]

It's weird envy was a cold blooded killer that took pleasure in what he did, but he was one of my favorite of the homunculi. Not saying I like him but maybe it was the vibe he gave off when interacting with the rest of the cast. Also props to his VA Those screams sounded so real.

[@Demaad]

The fact that he’s a sadistic, reprehensible killer is what makes him my favorite of the Homunculi. He’s so evil that you just hate him as a character but love him as a villain

[@FBI_Metal_Slime]

I really love this episode, especially for showing just how powerful mustang really is. Not only is his flame alchemy one of the most destructive forms of alchemy, but his accuracy with it makes him a truly fearsome opponent. His alchemy is powerful enough to incinerate an entire room full of super humans in just a few seconds, but with enough accuracy to completely avoid hitting friendlies without any drop in fire power. Had he not been holding back, he could have easily incinerated every central soldier they sent at him without a second thought. And last but certainly not least, he is capable of overpowering and destroying even a homunculus. His only weaknesses are his lack of mobility and close range combat. But even then so long as he can react fast enough he can keep pretty much any opponent at bay with his fire.

[@Loomx5]

And water, damn you rain!!

[@hemmojito]

Can I just point out one thing that I particularly like about this show. Somehting that doesn't often happen in Shonen... A strong character/strong power like Roy Mustang/Roy Mustang's flame alchemy is still strong at the (relative) end of the show. Usually by this time the power or character that was feared in the first episodes is like a joke at the end.

[@AdderMoray]

May is 12. 2 years younger than Al.

[@Dell-ol6hb]

Adder's Musical Musings a really young looking twelve but yeah you’re right

[@jppcouto]

@@Dell-ol6hb nop, she started as 11 years old and now 12. In comparison, Alphonse was 14 and now 15 years old.

[@PR-zy9gx]

I think Arakawa made Al & May too innocent cause of her perception of childhood, even though Al is older than May he has been easily manipulated before, like when he was made into thinking he was his brother creation (if Al is 2 years younger than May, then he was also 12 back then) and he has also made "stupid" mistakes like with Selim (when he was sending a morse code with Al's helmet), but no one ever called Al's mistakes "stupid" as May's or made it too personal to refer to him as "stupid" everytime he showed up (and she's younger than him), if she's 12 now, than she was manipulated by Envy when she was 11 (several months has passed since), and she was introduced in the series when she was 10 - early 11... Don't get me wrong, I love Alphonse! All I'm saying is that Navi should cut her some slack as she does with Alphonse, is kinda unfair in my opinion... And because Envy is back we got this (& the next) episode! And they are amazing, so yeah, I'm really glad May brought Envy back, it was a nice closure to his character arc.

[@Avocado11]

When Mustang is finally confronted with Envy and reacted the way he did, my first thought was “HECK YEAH!”, i’ve been waiting for this moment since the original series. But then the more you see Mustang getting angrier and angrier, everything just felt wrong. Next episode was heart wrenching for me

[@MARYWTHER]

Mustang is basically doing what Thor wanted to in Infinity War. While Thanos’ suffering was well-deserved, Thor was going down the wrong path not just striking him in the head.

[@bloodsenpai007]

TheOutBack Pandas weird comparison

[@Crescentknight8189]

That's very accurate. Thanos was potentially at his most powerful and that was their one shot at beating him after getting all the stones and instead of cutting off his hand or head, he aimed for his heart because he wanted to make him suffer and boast to him.

[@george-lz2jo]

@@Crescentknight8189 exactly, thor intentionally kept him conscious at that moment to boast and show that he did as he promised 'as i said, you'd die for that'.

[@jamesmccarthy962]

I think Thor probably expecting that would kill him though, he wanted him to suffer but death was definitely more on his mind. But new weapon and he is not the most tactful anyway

[@Lightsephiroth]

Nah, Thor thaught that a hit like that would've killed him

[@darkenix]

I like the rage of mustang here but the battle of torture is better than his last with Lust.

[@vanessawhite2084]

He was both Maria Ross and Gracia Hughes. First he was Maria Ross, then Maes realized it wasn't really her. Envy turned into Gracia when Maes turned around to throw his knife, so that he froze up and couldn't defend himself when Envy shot him.

[@dannybob42]

FMAB Time, and it's time for Mustang to turn up the heat Yeah Beyond the Inferno is 54, it has a during credits scene as well that I hope you watched, you'd be very lost if you skipped 53 Mustang works their disregard towards Bradley's wife in his favour, and now he has the public on his side as well Stephen Blum is not credited in this episode so I don't think it's him Also gives Fuery something to do, utilizing his own radio skills to nonverbally communicate with the radio execs Well this is how news got around in the late 1910s guys, also 'this would never work' my ass, replace word of mouth with some twitter rumour and you'd be just as susceptible Mustang quick to effortlessly destroy the mannequin soldiers, they may not be dead, but since they don't regenerate they can't really do much as ashes Mustang finally gets his answer, laughing right in front of him. If you look up 'Overkill' in the anime dictionary you see this fight, he did start with the tongue I'll reiterate, Marketa, I don't think you're ready for the upcoming episodes And here we see the divide, Marketa is right in that Envy deserves this punishment, but this isn't about whether Envy should suffer, it's whether Mustang has to lose himself in order to do it Probably not the best comparison to use seeing as Team Avatar lost the battle on Day of Black Sun... Amestris have had a long history of insurrections and coup d'etats, that's how their borders expanded and how they wrote off crests of blood, also there's nowhere to go, if a Tank is on the streets that's a heavy gamble. Central City is bordered by masses of land, it's a city not well prepared to combat an attack Again, it's the 1910s, there is no such thing as an internet May's age isn't confirmed but she is quite young, seeing as Ling is her older brother and he's 15, I don't think she's as young as 8 given how Al was 10 when he lost his body No, Envy turned into Gracia, Hughes' Wife. Hughes didn't fall for the Maria Ross trick, but froze when Envy became Gracia - which it showed to Mustang by turning into Gracia in front of him Mustang's aiming is why he was so effective in Ishval Yeah everyone's crying in the intro, because the song is called Rain, and rain in the show was often attributed to sadness and tears They didn't tell Brosh because they needed to maintain the ruse, it'd be suspicious if her own partner was suddenly fine about her death. He also did not leave the Military, the Promised Day just happened to be his day off

[@mbpoblet]

When Envy was about to kill Hughes he noticed _"Ross"_ didn't have the mole and was getting one of his throwing knives ready... so Envy turned into Hughe's wife to make sure he wouldn't be able to fight back (and to further mess with him, probably, since the knife wouldn't have made much of a difference anyway), and shot him.

Considering envy was such a strong homunculi/massive thorn in everyone's side, i think Mustang taking the time to roast him like that was a perfect use of time and energy lol. You can't really one-shot a homonculus, anyways. I always sort of slightly disagreed with the sudden fear that mustang was going down a Dark Path by viciously murdering a..vicious murderer??
