anime: fullmetal alchemist brotherhood
disclaimer: i do not own any of the clips used in this video it was simply made for fun :)
ignore pls: roy mustang funny, fullmetal alchemist, roy mustang badass, edward elric, fmab, parental roy mustang, roy mustang clips, roy mustang scene, edward elric short, maes hughes , riza hawkeye , envy , alphonse elric , royiza , found family

1:13 In the manga, when Tucker mentioned Edward's level of focus, Mustang even puffed his chest out and was all like, "I know right, he even managed to become a State Alchemist at that age, he's amazing," and honestly, the man ain't even really all that subtle.

[@diodiocanii_3999]

he’s such a dad i love him

[@anetery1226]

He ain't the step-dad he is the dad that stepped up

[@harley3082]

LOL. To think I forgot about that line.

[@CH-zc8qx]

Iirc in the manga, Al says that the reason why Ed and Roy are usually at each other's throats is that they're too similar. It's never explicitly stated, but one could argue that with the Colonel being an older male authority figure, Ed probably projects his feelings toward Hoheinheim onto him. Roy teases and annoys Ed a lot, but at the end of the day, he always watches out for the kids and tries to do right by them in his own way, and the boys know that. To Ed especially, Roy is a superior, a dad, and an annoying older brother all rolled into one. It's subtle but pretty cute.

[@PhantomSBD]

that first line feels like mustangs' version of "are ya winnin son?"

[@whocares1814]

At 35:18, it touches me that Ed looks to Roy and Riza, the people who gave him his initial sense of determination. Idek where him and Al would even be if Roy didn't come looking for them.

[@katakurifan5213]

Yeah.

[@hooman9554]

Roy and Riza are basically their parents i will accept no other explanation

[@mr_0n10n5]

They the parents who stepped up

[@katakurifan5213]

Ed had a much better relationship with Mustang than in the original anime

[@justsheska1718]

Yeah in the original he tried to arrest him and everything 😟

[@akirachaossuta]

One of mustangs main plot points in 03 is that he wants to show he cared about Ed and Al, but fights himself to not. Despite that there are many moments in 03 that shows his care towards Ed is the his priority.

[@katakurifan5213]

@@akirachaossuta I'd say that's true in Brotherhood too

[@varkrow]

@@justsheska1718 "I didn't chase after you because I was ordered to, I'm doing it because I'm *pissed*. Now why the hell did you two run away without asking for my help first!?" Yeah, I know, right.

[@haileyparsons3844]

Really I found in the original Mustang treated Edward like shit compared to Botherhood. Especially in the scene where they find Nina corspe on the wall, Mustang literally throws Ed on the ground and tells him to grow up, vs in Brotherhood he gives them there space and protects them from scar. I know in the original he also does the same but it came across as he was doing it out of obligation.

[@suckurmum3955]

35:00 seeing how pissed ed gets when colonel lost his sight shows how deep their friendship goes. like theyll never admit it but theyd both react the same if someone did something truely evil to one of them.

[@gerstein03]

And also it illustrates Ed's acceptance of what he'd done. On some level he always knew that they'd deserved the price they paid for partaking in human transmutation. They'd made their choice. But Mustang didn't choose to participate. And it's why I like that in the anime he gets his eyesight back

[@SingingSealRiana]

To be fair, the kids really needed a dad, like desperately with Hohenheim being absentee in every sense of the word...

[@sakiyaki-sashimi]

We all talk about Nina, but nobody talks about “We’re sorry, We’re sorry, We’re sorry” like holy shit I almost cried

[@ceecee6521]

One of the few times it becomes painfully clear that despite Ed and Al's cunning, genius, perseverance and bravery, at the end of the day? They're still two kids who shouldn't have had to experience hell like their encounters with the Truth, Shou Tucker's sins against nature itself for the sake of his title, or the revelation that the Philosipher's Stone they "need" to repair their bodies was made of countless human souls trapped with a confined space. Yeah, it sucks that there's never enough discussion about that scene. But it kinda helps preserve the impact of Izumi comforting the two as they repeatedly apologize for breaking the one main rule she warned them to never break. There's just something about moments like that in anime and manga that shouldn't be gossiped about, but just experienced personally. Edit: Wait, you were talking about when Roy first met them?! Shit, that moment should've lasted longer!

[@SingingSealRiana]

Honestly, I have a very robust stomach when it comes to horror and messed up stuff, but Nina scared me for life, I still get the creeps when I see long furred dogs with wigs....... I crie so hard at those points in the story, every time in every version We're sorry we're sorry hits very hard as well though...

[@_crisiscache_8378]

that scene has never failed to make my stomach turn and my eyes water. they were just babies.

[@cathytice6370]

This just reiforced my belief that he should be the father of my children.

[@orbitalvagabond]

ayo

[@_crisiscache_8378]

9:03 his little voice and the shaking. oh. my. lord. he was so little and young and I just want to hold him and squeeze him and tell him it wasn't his fault. and Roy's "wait... are you?" broke my heart

[@ohheyfullmetal]

He really adopted them with no hesitation

[@akirachaossuta]

17:36 in the manga after Ed yells, Roy just tells him to get out of the rain or he’ll catch a cold.

[@lordkai5933]

Nobody gives any fucks

[@varkrow]

I know, right. I didn't quite understand why the anime cut that part out, but to be fair, they sort of cropped a lot of it out. The 2003 version almost amplified it at times, Brotherhood showed it very few times before immediately getting into the plot, and the manga was in between the two.

[@niomo]

I really love at 16:49 because it shows that even though he may act arrogant deep down mustang cares for the boys, he knows that they will blame themselves and so later on when given the decision to tell them that Hughes is dead he doesn't because while he knows they will find out he wants to put it off as long as possible so they don't have to face feeling of guilt

[@caitlinbrewer4843]

I like to think that the money promise between the two is Ed's way of saying he plans to stand by and support Roy.

[@logeyperogi1805]

Though Ed would never admit it, you can tell he does kinda consider Mustang a father figure of sorts, and though Mustang would never admit it, he cares about the boys so much, he may as well be their father

[@marielamedrano432]

You forgot the scene where doctor Marco comes to the hospital and offer to heal Roy's eyesight and Roy agrees but is a little worried about how Ed and Al would feel about him using it

[@khfan4life365]

This is why I don’t know how anyone can ship Roy and Ed. It’s clear that Roy saw Ed as a son, whether it was intentional or not. He may have vehemently denied it, but he unofficially adopted those two boys.

@@bluemilo7531Ed and Al were on a train, returning home from a mission, and bumped into Mustang on the train. Mustang was flirting with a few women while Ed tried to get his attention to talk about the mission. Mustang kept waving him away until Ed decided to say “hey, dad!” and ran to him like they were long lost family. The women left Roy because they heard Ed and thought Roy was married. All in all, it’s pretty funny. Then, the two teamed up in a fight and Roy called Ed “son” and Ed called Roy “dad” to rib at each other. Later, Ed got kidnapped (hence the title) and the kidnapper called Roy’s office for a ransom. Roy’s team heard the kidnapper say something along the lines of “we have your son” and started teasing him for supposedly having an illegitimate child.
