Ayy we get to see my boy scar.

Bad man :( I saw this coming since I've already seen this episode multiple times including brotherhood's counterpart but ouch. Shou tucker is an awful human being

Man that episode was really horrible. I hope the rest of the series isn’t going to be as traumatic and upsetting.

wow that... was way darker than i thought it'd be

it always seem as a regular shounen but then it strikes you with something as twisted as this

really good episode, can see what people mean when they mention how much more mature fma is. especially how ed's trauma is handled.

i prefer the brotherhood version of that scene but the way it was built up here was way better
good opinions on anything, block = I own you

I actually like the way Tucker was humanised more here than in fmab, showing that alchemists will do anything to survive if their backs are against the wall. If anything the moustache guy is to blame for making Tucker do this.

this definitely is one of the most iconic anime episodes out there. it's dark, and fucked up in the best way possible. We've been given time to get attached to Nina, and when the dots finally connect, it's just... hard to explain the emotion felt here. I don't have to say much here, you already know it's good.

Great episode, it's too bad Nina's fate was spoiled for me long before I ever had any interest in watching this show. To be fair though, when you see a happy child in anime, this is the only kind of fate that awaits them.

Welp, I've put off watching this show for ages, but I finally got to "that episode". Are you proud of me, my fellow weebs and memers? :3

...But seriously though, I don't really get the hate for Shou Tucker TBH. Of course, I had the twist spoiled on me years in advance thanks to all the memes, so perhaps the whole "audience betrayal" factor was lost on me, but there are a lot more reprehensible anime characters out there regardless. Heck, this very series gave us Majhal a few episodes prior...

Majhal has the benefit of being forgotten, being an original character unique to 03 and therefore not carrying his infamy into Brotherhood.

Also, a lot of people don't think highly of that episode.

It was really heartbreaking to see that Nina was fused with Alexander the dog into a Chimera. It was really depressing and hope that her father Shou Tucker gets what's coming for him. Nina and Alexander has already went through so much pain fused together and as a result that led to their demise. This happened the same with Tucker's wife was also turned into a Chimera.

This is way more convincing and sadder storytelling than the Brotherhood, better build up too.

I didn't expect my premonition to become a reality.
Tucker indeed showed signs of a bad man.
Kinda sad.

Yoo the plot twist is crazy and it's so morally challenging. Loved this episode 10/10
