WOW did this go dark quick. Kiss was very upset by this one as we're sure you can see and can maybe relate to. We were not expecting that at all! 😭Still, this story is super intriguing and just keeps digging its hooks in deeper each episode. Thanks for watching along with us and we'll see you soon for the next one!

Oh man. I forgot this was ep 4. I watched this at maybe 11 or 12 years old for the first time. Every time ppl compare dark stuff that happens in tv shows. I bring this up. That being said I’m 31 now and don’t feel like ruining my Sunday I’m skipping this ep. I hope you enjoyed the emotional turmoil lol 😂🤣

2025-03-23 18:27:59 +0000 UTCThis episode hit hard, and it was so unexpected. My friend who suggested FMA did not warn me at all.

2025-02-25 22:19:45 +0000 UTCI hate this episode so much, it is like a trauma... watching this 16 year old was crazy

2025-02-25 16:43:07 +0000 UTCits so wild that this is so early i always think its like ten episodes later
Lee Wood
2025-02-21 12:32:39 +0000 UTCOh it's THIS episode, I forgot how early this happens in the series. Honestly this moment has been memed to hell and back for me at this point that it makes me laugh more than anything.

2025-02-20 19:09:25 +0000 UTCPlease just try dubbed just once, FMA is literally one of the only anime’s I would ever say that about but trust it’s better

2025-02-20 06:49:49 +0000 UTCI was hesitant on watching this one again, its tough.

2025-02-20 04:09:17 +0000 UTCAnd now you know animes most hated character. I think there was couple of polls and Tucker always wins. There is a 'funny meme' about this. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1C-kufIZCc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

2025-02-19 08:47:06 +0000 UTCit's tradition to look forward to anyone's reaction of episode 4 with a big shit-eating grin and tears running down our face 😭😭😭

2025-02-19 04:32:08 +0000 UTCwell we can all agree that shou is the worst person in any anime

2025-02-19 02:04:59 +0000 UTCNooo I thought the dub did Nina’s voice terribly. They even simplified the lines, which made it worse for me ( “big… brother” “let’s play” were replaced with “edward”).
Flora
2025-02-19 01:41:31 +0000 UTCThe Nina/Alexander chimera is even more devastating in the Dubbed version. imo. The voice acting is heart wrenching.
VitalAbyss
2025-02-19 00:44:21 +0000 UTCThis is the 2009 series' version, but yeah, it carried the torch so as to traumatise future generations :)
Dark_Eternal
2025-02-18 23:38:34 +0000 UTCAgreed on the last point. Though one thing I wish they didn’t remove from the manga here was Al was showing how close even Al was to beating the ever loving crap out of him on the spot.

2025-02-18 21:57:55 +0000 UTCKiss celebrating the state alchemist killer is soooo me lol was back then and still to this day. It almost feels like a mercy to send Nina to the afterlife after what she went through. Very chilling.
KIMI
2025-02-18 20:18:46 +0000 UTCOh dang, yes. Amazing comment.
Haylo
2025-02-18 20:08:16 +0000 UTCDeserved!!

2025-02-18 20:05:03 +0000 UTCVillain is accurate
Opusan
2025-02-18 19:58:04 +0000 UTCThis episode has been infamous since the early 2000s when it first aired
Skele
2025-02-18 19:40:08 +0000 UTCThis episode always destroys me. Besides OP and a few other shows this 1 right here always breaks me, and I feel you Kiss brings tears to my eyes every time. He did it twice, and the first time what was left of his wife was so gone she could and would only say "Kill me". A mothers soul so broken only death was her salvation, and Nina & Alexander too innocent to understand still showed only love. This episode was 1 of the reason I joined the military are humans this horrendous and I learned yes, and much much worse.
Kenshin Himura
2025-02-18 19:08:08 +0000 UTCIt was this episode that Tucker became the most hated person in anime history.
Luke Wayman
2025-02-18 18:33:59 +0000 UTCHe’s top of the list of worst anime villains in my opinion
Hiei
2025-02-18 18:29:04 +0000 UTCShou Tucker is to this day at the top of the list of the worst anime fathers.
Opusan
2025-02-18 18:06:59 +0000 UTCNotice that the 'murderer' that killed Shou said 'two souls have returned to you.' It's hinted at in the manga, from what I hear, that those two souls are the dog and nina. Not Shou.
DevilWearsAdidas
2025-02-18 18:04:21 +0000 UTCYeah i cried this episode😭
cooc
2025-02-18 18:03:46 +0000 UTCAs soon as transmuted Nina/Alexander speaks, tears flow down my cheeks.
Mehdi
2025-02-18 18:01:32 +0000 UTCI love these kind of episodes in anime. It shows there are no limits in creating a story and everything can happen. Is it that the main character dies mid series, the hometown of the hero gets annihilated after got to love all their citizens or like in this case a father turning his own kid into a monster out of his selfish desires.
Proto Mundi
2025-02-18 17:54:09 +0000 UTCEven after so many years...this moment still gave me some goosebumps. Honestly, in the first FMA anime run, they spent multiple episodes with Alexander and Nina so you built a stronger relationship with them. So my hatred for Shou Tucker is even greater. I don't use the word evil lightly...but he IS evil. The Elric brothers show great restraint. I would have killed that man on the spot.
Bon C
2025-02-18 17:38:50 +0000 UTCOh no 😭
Alejandro Contreras
2025-02-18 17:28:37 +0000 UTCYeah this episode is disturbing and one of the ones Many Anime fans talks about.
Isac christensen
2025-02-18 17:19:27 +0000 UTCMan, the moment Nina was on screen I started tearing up... One of the most tragic episodes in anime history, you now know why Shou Tucker is one of the most hated characters of all time. But also, a very important one to all of FMAB

2025-02-18 17:17:38 +0000 UTCThis one gets EVERYONE. Knew there would be tears with this episode

2025-02-18 16:44:48 +0000 UTCon another note.. Shou tucker is considered to be one of the most hated character in all of anime. lol

2025-02-18 16:00:56 +0000 UTCLast episode was when you take religion too far. This episodes was when you do the same with science
Saban
2025-02-18 15:45:00 +0000 UTCFun Facts 1. The Mangaka is a Women 2. Evertime a Charakter is dying, the Mangaka is drawing a little soul going to heaven in the last page. For Shou Tucker she did the opposite thing. He goes to hell, and he is the the only one who she does that to. That emphasises how disgusting his actions were. 3. Scar say 2 Souls are going to heaven. But there are 3 Souls Shou Tucker, Nina and the Dog Alexaner. I think the 2 souls he mentioned are the Girl and the Dog. Not Shou Tucker

2025-02-18 14:33:40 +0000 UTCi watched this ep when i was really young and it was the first time i ever viscerally felt like throwing up from seeing something that disturbing.. i was probably too young lol
aydin sofian
2025-02-18 14:29:46 +0000 UTCI remember this episode destroyed me, and made me super sad for a long time as a teen. - But I think it was needed, to show what alchemy can do in bad hands
Elinaboo
2025-02-18 14:28:29 +0000 UTCI realised what episode it was after like a min in and actually said out loud "Oh no I'm not ready for this" 😫
Jamie Fraser
2025-02-18 14:24:44 +0000 UTCYou'll notice that Scar said 2 souls, which would be Nina and Alexander, were returned, and not that of the dad. In the manga, Shou Tucker is the shown as going to hell in the end doodles of the chapter.
Elgrash
2025-02-18 14:22:18 +0000 UTCAt least they’re in heaven and Shou Tucker is in hell as shown in the manga.

2025-02-18 14:05:49 +0000 UTCThis is easily the saddest/darkest episode of the show, for what it’s worth - I promise the happy and wholesome moments will make it all worth it but I’m sorry for the pain y’all had to go through for this one!
