For real, these guys were probably Ed’s best friends in the story besides his literal brother and wife. With nothing but Kimblee’s betrayal motivating them, they rescued him and nursed him back to health, then hid him from the government for months. What absolute bros.
Ed's first real friend besides Winry (who was more like family) was Ling Yao, they were the same age and shared similar heavy burdens, which is why they got along so well even after he became GreedLing
@@davidma6616 I love how the japanese can mix comedy with extremely serious topics and make it work perfectly in their own way in these kind of formats. Fma Brotherhood is on my top 5 shows for sure, anime or not
@@werbnnerf It didn't age him. He just took a few years from his lifespan, why should it age him up? And why would it take so long to happen after the transmutation? The effects of a transmutation have always been immediate. If it would have aged him up, we would have seen him older inmediately after the transmutation, but that didn't happen. He's a teenager, at 16 years old he's still growing. Hohenheim is pretty tall himself and while Ed stayed on the smaller side as an adult, he grew some more until he reached his final height. In canon they mused his heavy automail might restrict his growth and he was equipped with lighter automail in Briggs. That might've had an effect as well.
Wouldn't that imply that the Dark Knight Returns pulled an Edward Elric, unless maybe it was done in the comic version before the manga did this scene 🤔
Can we just appreciate how perfect this scene is with the music? The song that plays is usually meant for serious moments, but it works perfectly here with Ed as the scary, mysterious, and intimidating factor here. It manages to use the same song to embellish both tension in the beginning of the scene, and comedy at the end. Plus, the song actually plays from start to finish and they made the scene match it in length pretty much perfectly. Which I'm also now realizng probably happens a lot in this show lol.
We all know Ed gets pissed when people so much as insinuate that he’s short, but like I’m hella impressed by the sheer amount of rage it takes to bite through a kebob stick like that. That thing looked decently thick, and he bit through it in an instant. Bro is crazy
@@gabudaichamuda2545 idk man. That food looked pretty fresh. Not to mention that stick is pretty damn thick. The outside might’ve been soggy, but it’s still going to be extremely hard
I love this scene so much. That particular song is usually used for serious, tense, forboding moments in the show. I can't think of any other times when it was used somewhat comedically like it is here. Yes, there is real tension in the scene, but you realize pretty quickly what is happening. Edward is straight up Batman-ing these goons without even putting down his groceries. Everything is so perfect. The up-angled shot of Eds legs appraoching the room and Harris, Gorilla's quivering mouth and shock and Edwards baddassery, the mixture of tension at first, but smooth transition into comedy when you realize what's happening...Plus it all represents that Edward is healed, and he even puts a cap on it himself with the line about being healed, revvin at FULL THROTTLE!
It’s not trying to be used comedically, at least the way you usually would for comedy. It’s being used here ironically or inverse. There IS in a fact a terror coming, but it’s from the perspective of the officers that are being hunted, and Ed is the monster.
@@mikeclark7026 It’s definitely true that the song is being used ironically / in an inverse way here to portray Ed as the monster. No disagreements there. But I would argue that there’s really no way of knowing whether the creators of the anime intended for it to be used “comedically” or not in that sense. As we know, irony / inversion is a common tool in comedy, so it’s entirely possible that they did have comedy in mind here, to be taken in by the viewer alongside the “terror”. It’s an interesting debate, for sure. I think one detail that tips the scales a bit more towards the “comedic” side is how they still threw a “People calling Ed short and Ed getting mad” joke in there. Also, the first dude who got knocked out’s face lol 😵💫🥴 As a side note; this scene accomplishes so much. It has terror, an inversion of the portrayal of the protagonist, comedy, and it also sets up that Ed is totally ready for the next phase of his journey and displays his attitude and mindset for the viewer in a totally badass way.
@@davidma6616 I think it’s the best short standalone scene of the anime. All the other great moments are longer, or connected. This was just fantastic, and other than Ed being healed, didn’t have connective tissue to anything else.
Edward: My injuries are completely healed and I'm revin at FULL THROTTLE. BECAUSE I'M EDWARD ELRIC, THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST BACK AND READY TO KICK ASS! THAT'S RIGHT MAN! Me: And that's the bottom line cause Edward Elric said so!
This scene is so damn good. Ed's been out after getting impaled and using his own lifeforce as energy to heal himself and he returns with a fresh new look. One of the serie's highest points.
I love that the giant gorilla of a man was shocked to his core of Edward who is half his size taking out the military in one of the most brutalist ways lol
What I find kinda interesting that Winry is shown first. Bathing and happy like it's simple life for her while Ed is shown as a badass who's ready to take the world on. I never thought about it but I think it's because she's the reason he's alive, she's saved his ass more than she realizes and it shows that because of her being happy or at peace, Ed's always ready to start swinging.
@@kory.j6561 Yes, he finally got back to voice acting after three years of deposition, Anime Matsuri's new dubbing industry AM Studios has selected him to dub anime, with the additional top dog voices from the old days
Can someone tell me why they were looking for him? Cuz I rewatched the Briggs station up until this episodes and a bit after, but I still don’t get why everyone was looking for him. It’s not like he committed a crime. Did Kimbley send his men or something?
And i'm back, Ed. Do you know how long you've been waiting for you to come back in anime, so I haven't even seen the episodes where your return didn't show up? And lastly I came back, Ed. Do you know how long you've been waiting for you to come back in anime, so I haven't even seen the episodes where your return didn't show up. 😭😭😭💓❤️💕
As better as this show was to follow the manga i'm sorry but the use of the OST is REALLY bad in this show. With happy music in sad scenes or sad scene with happy music i mean it makes no sense. FMA 2003 OST was perfect, why did they change? (openings / endings are fine)

So true
Alligator ed is the best looks no cap
Makes me question why they didn't keep it
*return of the fullmetal alchemist after that impale moment*
I really like how Ed said the next time someone calls him short he's going to knock them out, and then the next time is this scene
May we all look as blissfully happy as Harris does if we ever get knocked TF by a metal hand 🦾
He got enough payback for at least a third of the number of times he was called short
He never put down the groceries, he did all that with a metal arm lol
I somehow never noticed that. What a great little detail that adds a lot of comedy to this already funny yet kinda tense scene.

its funny how he has got taller than the beggining of the anime
That’s what using his life as energy entails. It didn’t cut his life expectancy. It aged him.

You kidding me? He's ALWAYS been.

hes grown up. but im sure he was already a badass

Isn't this the same music that played when he exhumed his "mother's" grave?
Yup
It plays like every episode. Don’t overthink it.

It's fun, that the description of Edward on paper was "blond hair and short", but later Edward gets much taller, than he was earlier))
True, he had growth spurt, but anime didnt mention it but there was like 9 month skip after ed joined with greed

Lesson: describe height in approximate numerical units.

About six months.
