Now I will be the first to admit,out a manifold of brilliantly designed characters,at first Roy Mustang was the character I enjoyed the least. I came into this series late so even though I don't dislike any specific character,I wasn't at all impressed by Mustang. A general who's nickname to the military is referred to as "The Flame Alchemist" due to his ability to cast fire based alchemy really shone on last week's episode of Full Metal Alchemist:The Brotherhood. I became so impressed by the loyalty and respect his team seems to show towards him but also I was surprised to realize he's not as stoic as I once thought. He showed compassion towards Maria Ross,a person sent to protect Edward Elric in their world's military,who was framed for the murder of Roy's personal friend Maes Hughes. Now if I didn't think Roy was capable of more than just flames,I would not be writing this post. I enjoyed how Roy not only handled himself as he carved a healing symbol into his body as he began bleeding to death after an attack from homunculi Lust(how is apart of a race created when people attempt human transmutation,an unnatural next to indestructible human),but the way he went about finally destroying Lust was nothing short of amazing. He used his last bit of strength to burn Lust over and over,showing just how dedicated to the job he was,as he was finally able to do what many alchemist haven't. Destroy an immortal homunculi. I will never question full metal alchemist characters again until I know their story. What did you guys think of last week's episode?
