FMA Brotherhood: Return of Edward Elric!

Episode 44

[Gemnist]

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.

[chimeee]

Edward with his hair out and a white coat hits different

[preston]

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

[MrEdwar]

He never put down the groceries, he did all that with a metal arm lol

[inanimatesum]

You literally get Bathing Winry sandwiched between the coolest Ed design lmao

[davidma]

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.

[anaclaramessis]

its funny how he has got taller than the beggining of the anime

[radiant_krusader]

1:30 Ed just pulled a dark night returns on that guard 😂

[krm]

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

[dextervex]

Changes his coat from red to white, undoes the braid. Incognito mode engaged

[miawmoon]

I think this is the first time we see him a little more grown up than before, what an opening for a episode omg

[davidma]

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!

1:05
Guy: "And short."
**the alarm goes off**
Me: "Oh no, he's triggered now! Never call Ed short!"

[Rantle-]

Imagine dying by getting choked through a wall

[moonbyulswife]

I remember when I watched this scene for the first time and my crush on Ed got out of hand lmao

[freed]

GAH THE BEST COMEBACK, THE MOST ICONIC (RE) APPEARANCE OF YOURS TRULY, EDWARD ELRIC😍😍🥺🥺😭😭❤️❤️

[Corsharkgaming]

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.

[gabudaichamuda]

Damn I wish Ed had kept that look. The title card was dope.

[aidanrogers]

1:06 ‘I’m about to end this man’s whole career.’

[brianbenfield]

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!
