You two are the perfect reactors for this show. You're taking the exact ride this show has to offer in the most entertaining way. Can't wait to see the rest of this journey with you!
I actually missed the armin jumpscare but i heard carlie's "He Full Armin'd Ross" at 7:35 the first time and I did a spit take trying to rewind to make sure I heard that right
The transmutation circle on Roy' glove lets him increase the oxygen in a specific area, and the special fabric it's made out of makes a spark when he snaps his fingers (like the flint in a lighter that ignites it.) Depending on the desity of the oxygen, he can control the temperature of the flames or turn it into an outright explosion.
"Wait a secoooooond" has to be my favorite reaction to this scene lmao. Mitsubishi is brutal. Just an FYI, it can't be Envy disguised as Roy because Envy can't perform alchemy at all.
@@loka7783Fair point but counterpoint: using something like dynamite wouldn't exactly leave an intact charred body that is akin to Roy's blame alchemy; he doesn't blow people up but torches them. A flamethrower would have been a better exactly, though then you're talking something super cumbersome that Envy-Roy couldn't dispose of/hide that quickly. lol
@@Mrryn Methinks the only way it could be possible is is Envy had help, someone to pass the flame thrower off to, the act as a distraction from that person running away with the weapon. Given that Envy doesn't seem to have much of a history of working with humans at this point that's unlikely. A better weapon might be phosphorous grenades but admittedly I don't know enough about them to say whether or not they could exist in that world or not.
Getting on this early, some people may tell you to skip episode 27 because it's a "Recap Episode". These people are smooth brained. It does recap stuff sure but it also gives you a lot of insight into Ed and Al's father
I've watched FMAB so many times. I finally convinced my brother to watch it w me (he made fun of me for watching anime when we were kids) I thought about skipping the episode when we got to it. But then we started it while I fished around for timestamps we could maybe watch during it. But I eventually gave up and we watched the whole thing cause I realized just how important it is to have all of it together
oh yeah, there's definitely moments when this story just jerks you left right and centre without stopping and this is tame compared to some stuff coming up
Oh boy. If you guys thought Mustang was "emotional" about Hughes in THIS episode, you're in for a trip. That's gonna be a fun reaction to see when the time comes.
Amazing! I can't wait for the next episode... so I'll become a Patron Just a quick FYI, Mustang's alchemy works because of the material the gloves are made of and the structural matrix, AKA Alchemical Circle, embroidered on them. The gloves are inlaid with flint, so when he snaps his fingers it creates a spark. The Alchemy he performs with the embroidered circle then alters the chemical composition of the air around that spark to ignite a flame, which gives him the ability to control its power and trajectory.
7:35 GURL you did not just say that he "Full Armin'd Ross" :P hahahahaha that was so meta and clever too. Well played Carlie! Also Ange don't think I didn't catch those sweet infatuated eyes at Mitsubishi ;) but don't worry, we all share that :D
Mustang alchemy is based on manipulation of the flames. He makes a spark with his special gloves lined with an element that creates a spark when he snaps phosphorus i think like a match when snapping his fingers then with the circle / array and the knowledge of flame alchemy he controls the resulting flames in whatever way he wants for the moment they last. Thats why his flame alchemy is useless on rainy days his gloves get wet and can’t make a spark like a wet match. Still being an alchemist he has more tricks as he had to master the basics before his special bran of flame alchemy so like any decent alchemist he can just do regular alchemy with whatever.
@@Loliston Haven't they? Hawkeye literally says they're war criminals when she's telling Ed the story of the war lmao she also says that Mustang intends to put the whole military into trial for war crimes including himself when he becomes Führer.
Just confirming that yes Ling is really only 15 years old, if memory is correct from when I read the manga, he's actually younger than Ed who just turned 16. He's just very mature (at times) for his age.
(spoilers for the next episod) roy need to send ross out of the country & ching is one of the few nearby countries not in war with theirs thats why in the next episod ed find ling's servent taking ross to ching in the desert it was pre planed before i thought it wasnt
technically it's because Mustang was looking for information about Xingese Alkahestry, which Barry overheard while they were discussing recent events while interrogating him (the anime cuts out most of the interrogation scene), and decided Ling might know something about it since he's from Xing and brings him along to score some brownie points with Mustang. (they used the scene in episode 1, except it's Mustang talking to Hughes about it instead of Falman, since he had Falman do research on local dissident groups to see if they might be involved with Hughes's murder and the topic came up during the investigation). Mustang was planning to stash Ross out east with Grumin in the short-term and then think up a more long term solution later due to the rushed nature of the operation. However Ling falling into their laps changed plans a bit, which is why he lets Armstrong stay out the loop for longer than he originally intended to help sell the performance.
Heya Carlie & Ange! This recommendation might be outside your usual content; however, because I love your reactions and you both love great storytelling, it would be a crime to not at least try to give you this gift of a masterpiece of storytelling. "Lonesome Dove". Arcane, Andor, HOTD, TLOU, etc. are all Masterpieces; however, there is still the one and only OG TV mini-series. If you ever do watch it, then you might understand why it is the best TV series ever created. The feels, holy heck, the feels.... I can't be less lame in my description without spoilers! P.S. 34 years later and it still brings a tear to my eye. An Ange tear challenge! Just kidding.
Can't wait to see next episode, even tho i could Say it each Time. This Time it will be a relief 🤣 (you said u have more ep on patreon right ? So i Hope i'm not spoiling 🤣)
It always bugged me how the prison guards' weapons are such a minor thing to Barry that he doesn't even seem to notice them, but when Hawkeye shot him that was a huge problem for him.
Probably less the bullets themselves and more the psychological angle. With the prison guards Barry knew he was going into a fight; getting shot at by a prospective victim who was totally unfazed by him caught him by surprise.
@@DoctorWortspieler This. People often forget that Barry and Al don't feel pain, the only reason why they get scared when they're hit is purely psychological. If Berry thinks he is the big dog in a fight he's not going to be bothered by shots but when he's cought of guard he forgets he's imortal and acts as if he still had a human body
I had to stop reading the manga after I got to this part. After Nina & Hughes and then Maria Ross, I thought the series was taking a dark turn I was not comfortable with. Was only years later I picked it up again just before Brotherhood and felt silly immediately afterwards.
theres small things here and there that the dub gets wrong, not enough to ditch it but one thing that bothers me is when hawkeye requests to leave. in the japanese version shes professional the whole interaction until the final part, which is supposed to be the punchline when she slams his door close, showing that she was actually furious the entire time. in the dub she sounds angry the entire time which isnt as good as a payoff when she slams the door shut.
It's Carlie at the early episode forget Mustang's name, maybe she remember it as some sort of car brand (Mustang is a car brand if I am not mistaken) so they just call it Roy Mitsubishi for a while, apparently until now 🤣

Man, no one appreciates Angelos guitar skills enough cause damn that intro was 🔥 🔥 🔥!
'They Armined Ross!' xD
Roast Ross. 🔥
"They don't waste a character do they?" That's exactly right, it's one of this series's biggest strengths.
the steam from the signal fire is from the female titan's blood
This will haunt me forever
😂
Bruh 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Female titan = Armin
The editor was nuts this episode.
The Armin-Edit and the "Framed Ross"
I'm pretty sure that's Carlie, but I might be wrong, who knows!
@@Loliston I think they have a dedicated editor now
I actually missed the armin jumpscare but i heard carlie's "He Full Armin'd Ross" at 7:35 the first time and I did a spit take trying to rewind to make sure I heard that right
"Roy is better then that"
Remember why he is called the "hero of Ishval". He is pretty used to burned corpses...
The transmutation circle on Roy' glove lets him increase the oxygen in a specific area, and the special fabric it's made out of makes a spark when he snaps his fingers (like the flint in a lighter that ignites it.) Depending on the desity of the oxygen, he can control the temperature of the flames or turn it into an outright explosion.
"Wait a secoooooond"
has to be my favorite reaction to this scene lmao. Mitsubishi is brutal.
Just an FYI, it can't be Envy disguised as Roy because Envy can't perform alchemy at all.
the harmonics and range on that musical note though.
Envy could impersonate Roy, he'd just have to immolate Ross though other means. Such as dynamite.
@@loka7783Fair point but counterpoint: using something like dynamite wouldn't exactly leave an intact charred body that is akin to Roy's blame alchemy; he doesn't blow people up but torches them.

He got the closest up, angriest face, in the whole show 😅
@@loayzc10 yea XD but most other reactors thought he was angry at Ross, not at Mustang
@@TheSilverHermitMage ok I get what you were saying now lol
"man look at mitsubishi"
*_A N G E_* PLEASE
I'm crying that was so fucking funny
The slight crush on Hawkeye will grow. Guaranteed.
100%
"He Armin'd Ross." is one of the most depressing yet funny quote. Thanks for that laugh Carlie.
Oh boy. If you guys thought Mustang was "emotional" about Hughes in THIS episode, you're in for a trip. That's gonna be a fun reaction to see when the time comes.
"They Armin'd Rose"
OMG 😂😂 I ran out of breath
This episode made me so pissed off and disappointed at Roy, I didn't want to fully believe it
Oh no we're almost on episode 19 my fav episode
Envy can’t do Alchemy, so he can’t copy Roy’s Flame Alchemy.
Actually, no one can copy his alchemy, he's the only one with this secret art...
How was your experience of hating Roy for one episode
Yesss 😃 FMAB reactions

Slight crush on Hawkeye? That will change later on. FMAB women are all so badass and written well, you're gonna fall hard on most of them.
Can't wait for a character that will appear up north 😍
"They Armin'd Ross" LMAO
7:35 GURL you did not just say that he "Full Armin'd Ross" :P hahahahaha
that was so meta and clever too. Well played Carlie!

Lmao, you caught me 😆
@@CarlieAndAnge it's that bad boy vibe. everyone wants that bad boy so they can fix them... even at their worst i tell ya
The way winry was pointing to herself while armstrong pulled ed away 😂
7:37 Armin'ed Ross...
Damn I never made that connection before.
The beat of the music is still going up, you will know when the beat drop, and is a trip when it thus!
Literally all the info you need is in this episode, people let their emotions take control rather then reason.
7:30 the fact that you do this every time followed by “they Armin’d Ross” was perfect 😂😂
Dang Roy Mitsubishi is acting up
its so funny to see ur reactions, thank you😂😂
Bruh i always read the video titles in Carlie's angry voice 😂
Thank you for the video
You really gotta watch this twice to fully appreciate it.
Falman really is the Kif of FMA
I love how anime characters being burnt to a crisp is now referred to as being Armin'd 😂 lmaooooo
Oh man, I still remember this episode. The absolute shock...
Mustang when you said you "Slay the ladies" that isnt what we thought you meant!!!
"look at Mitsubishi" ....I just spat out my Kool aid 😂😂😂
I can't with Ange doing the "Fullmetal Alchemist" twice in the mid-credits. I am very much the same whenever I watch this show. Lmao.
Mustang alchemy is based on manipulation of the flames. He makes a spark with his special gloves lined with an element that creates a spark when he snaps phosphorus i think like a match when snapping his fingers then with the circle / array and the knowledge of flame alchemy he controls the resulting flames in whatever way he wants for the moment they last.

Your reactions (any anime) are sooo entertaining lol
Guys, you need to remember that Roy is a war criminal. Most state alchemists are. It wouldn't be that off for him to act this way.
Tbf, on the context of the series, they haven't been really framed as war criminals, rather as war heroes!
@@Loliston hahaah, you are eating that Amestrian propaganda
@@Loliston Haven't they? Hawkeye literally says they're war criminals when she's telling Ed the story of the war lmao she also says that Mustang intends to put the whole military into trial for war crimes including himself when he becomes Führer.
Ron Mitsubishi, you beautiful bastard.
Oh, they got you GOOD with Mustang, didn't they?
Oh it's going down. Can't wait for the next episode
Mitsubishi heard y'all talking shit about his name so he chose violence 😂
Damn I jumped through a couple of episodes and now he's Roy Mitsubishi 😭😭
Please watch „march comes in like a lion“. I guarantee you two will love it!
its been a while since i last watched this show so im just as lost as you guys when watching your reactions 😂 roy confused the hell out of me
I guess when you mess with Hughes, you get bad news.
Just confirming that yes Ling is really only 15 years old, if memory is correct from when I read the manga, he's actually younger than Ed who just turned 16. He's just very mature (at times) for his age.
Also, Ed has _that_ little downfall which is preventing him from growing at the rate that someone in his mid teens should be.
I don't think I have ever been this early, letsgoooo
i feel stupid not picking up the meaning of barry asking ling where is he from till watching the show 10 times
Still dont get it after watching 30 times
What was it?
(spoilers for the next episod)

To clear something up, Envy can't transmute. So if you see someone doing alchemy, like Roy here, that can't be Envy.

I'm gonna keep looking until I find a reactor who figures it out.
