Glad you guys have watched Dragonball... we got to see this series version of the fusion dance!

Hercule Pyro

We can believe that! We didn't expect it!

"Of course there will be an ending, and no matter if it will be good or bad, we can never let our guard down, because we don't know what the price of that ending will be." - we'll keep this in mind! 😳

Bucky is part chihuahua so I think we understand Ed even better now thanks to this comment. 🐶

Bethany and Ken

This moment is what established Shou Tucker as one of the most hated characters in anime history. I remembered seeing this episode (one of the very few I watched) 15 years ago when it aired on Adult Swim and boy did it leave me speechless for the rest of that night. It's like you said Ken, this kind of evil does exist in the world, but seeing it before your very eyes, even in a cartoon, is still jarring and traumatic to see. If anything, the one lesson this episode teaches is the dark side of being an alchemist, and you can clearly see Ed in a moral dilemma trying to separate himself from Tucker, even though he somewhat attempted something similar in his past. This is so true to nature, because sometimes no matter the good we do in the world, the way we go about it sometimes is no different than some of the evilest intentions out there, no matter how much we mean well. P.S. Please disregard some of the comments here, it's crazy how immature some people here can be

I know there’s a running gag about Ed’s height lol I think he’s 15-16 atm and he’s 4’11 haha. He’s like a chihuahua, explains his hot temper with a blunt personality but a good guy at heart.

Welcome to Fullmetal Alchemist....

Multxverse

Fun Fact: They recently released an anime figure of Shou Tucker and Nina TToTT Very funny to see Bethany's gears turning when Shou says "lets play tomorrow Nina" while Ken's just sorta taking it at face value

ldnm,nasm,d i should not be laughing this hard

Like you said, for first time watchers the start of the episode is a treat, fun and wholesomeness all the way. Knowing what's coming... it's just pure torture... But yeah, this episode sets the premise, that nothing in this show is granted. There is no, "that character is important, they can't die" or "they wouldn't kill off that character, it's just a child". When there is conflict, characters may perish. Of course there will be an ending, and no matter if it will be good or bad, we can never let our guard down, because we don't know what the price of that ending will be.

Shou Tucker is always brought up in discussions about most evil anime villains, alongside Freeza of all people. After watchimg this episode, I had to shower my cat with hugs and kisses. He was so annoyed lol

And that’s REALLY saying something considering some of the villains who get killed off in this story, hahaha.

It really speaks to how powerful this moment is that even today, 24 years after it was originally published, it holds such a strong presence in the memory of the fanbase. It’s constantly brought up in discussions and memes between anime fans the world over. What I adore about this scene is that while it seems to have all the trappings of an episodic “conflict of the week,” it’s never forgotten is never forgotten by the characters. Ed and Al carry that memory with them for the rest of the story, referencing what Shou Tucker did even deep into the series climax. It also sets the stage for one of the major themes of the story as a whole, that being the sins of the father…

Shou Tucker is probably one of the most evil characters in all of media. This episode is extremely iconic even for people who know nothing about FMAB

Knightlight 1414

Mhmm. Yea bucky’s next lol jk

DarkUchiha

In the manga, whenever a character dies, the end of the chapter shows a drawing of their soul going to heaven. Shou Tucker is the only character shown burning in hell.

Just some guy

No one expected the first 4 episodes to go this way🤣 shit was crazy
