in Fullmetal Alchemist, a dude in the pursuit of science/research and his livelyhood, demonstrates his research by fusing his daughter and the family dog into one being. It's a dark moment in the show, and people like to reference it.

The girl is a lonely girl who has formed a close bond with her dog due to her mother leaving. However her mother didnt actually leave she was killed by her father after he merged her with an animal.

When faced with his career coming to an end again he merges his own daughter with her best friend, her dog alexander.

Its a really messed up thing to read.

I seem to recall episodes that didn't have physical fights. sure it had a lot of them. but alot too where really short. not DBZ this fight is gonna span 20 episodes bullshit.

I mean in the episode with nina was their a fight? I recall ed punching dude in the face but it wasn't a fight as the other dude never tried defending himself for even a second

There's a few episodes of FMA with no battles. The main one being the origin story episode. Also whenever they go back to their home, their time with Izumi, and several other "breather" episodes.

first episode I ever saw was the one where they where chasing this thief lady. throughout the episode she kept changing jobs I think and the last place she worked mysteriously burned down, shut down or something. don't recall a fight in that episode other than ed using alchemy to try and stop her from running away. been a long time though might be wrong, but I have hard time imagining edward actually trying to hurt a woman. (other than people like lust obviously)

yep and that was my point the show doesn't focus on the fighting. it focuses on the story. where as DBZ I honestly forget some of the villains intentions and sometimes their intentions are just plain stupid.

like seriously who decides to hold a tournament to decide the fate of the world, and why would the heroes willingly go along with that plan. if any single one of them could beat him in a fair 1 on 1 then why not just go ahead and gang up on his ass.

I know cell is egotistical but damn thats stupid

To be fair, Cell was all but confirmed as the most powerful being on Earth, and only one person thought otherwise. (Why he didn't speak up until game time is still unclear.)

part of my point is though, if the heroes thought there was one among them who could take him, why would they bother playing by his rules. you never play by the villains rules unless you have no other option

my other point is if Cell wanted earth destroyed why would he offer this opportunity, I can see more reason on his end though because I can just chalk that up to him feeding his own ego

It's also annoying because FMA fakes the doctor's death THROUGH a scene where it looks like he gets shot, which is an annoying gimmick. He's seen again later in the show still creating chimeras.

uhhhh, no

the elrics are told he's sentenced to get executed, and the matter is dropped from there. nothing is shown

i do believe someone else is shot, but i don't remember who. i want to say bradley gets shot in the eye by hawkeye, then later reappears and reveals himself to be pride. but i know how that whole episode goes and i know it's not right. it seems right, but

think hes confusing the doctor being shot with the hinting at scar killed him along with nina

edit: also the fact there is the original anime, and brotherhood i'm sure causes some confusion as i'm sure the events didn't play out exactly the same in both

I distinctly remember the scene shifting to show the actual execution. I don't recall there being any ambiguity around that. They're talking about it one second, the scene shifts to it happening, and then it comes back to the talking.

I never watched FMAB because I never thought much of FMA. Also, it didn't happen in the same episode he was arrested iirc.

three.

they meet him and Ed studies to become a state alchemist. episode ends at the tests.

2nd episode, Ed is an alchemist, the Nina thing happens.

3rd episode, aftermath, going through tuckers research, reminiscing of Nina

In the original anime, after everything is over, Edward asks Havoc about Tucker, and he says he's dead; was executed by the military without a trial. There's a fuzzy visual to go with it, but it also has some symbolic imagery (like a toy sitting alone in a field) which would generally suggest that that's not exactly how it played out.

Also, they changed the ending for that one particular episode to have several scenes of Nina and the brothers together. Just watched it again and it tore me up.
