1. So in the end, you became a soldier.
Copy !req
2. As I thought, it's far too early to teach you the art of flame alchemy.
Copy !req
3. Still, sir?
Copy !req
4. You've only taught me the basics of alchemy so far.
Copy !req
5. Of course.
Copy !req
6. Someone who would sink to becoming a dog of the military is unworthy of being taught even the basics of alchemy.
Copy !req
7. Alchemy should be used for the benefit of the masses. Isn't that correct?
Copy !req
8. Master, we're currently under threat from neighboring countries. We're in an urgent need to strengthen our forces.
Copy !req
9. Alchemy is essential for protecting the people-
Copy !req
10. I'm tired of hearing that same excuse.
Copy !req
11. I just can't sit here and watch this.
Copy !req
12. Someone as talented as you suffering crushing poverty.
Copy !req
13. Please become a State Alchemist.
Copy !req
14. If you do, you'll be able to conduct other experiments-
Copy !req
15. I've already completed my experiments long in the past.
Copy !req
16. What did you...
Copy !req
17. The most powerful alchemy.
Copy !req
18. Though depending on how it's used, it could be the most deadly.
Copy !req
19. I perfected it...
Copy !req
20. ...and became satisfied.
Copy !req
21. Alchemists are creatures who must continually strive toward the truth as long as they are alive.
Copy !req
22. They die as soon as they stop the process of thinking.
Copy !req
23. I had already died long in the past-
Copy !req
24. Master!
Copy !req
25. Master!
Copy !req
26. Master Hawkeye!
Copy !req
27. Take care... of my daughter...
Copy !req
28. Every detail of my experiment... is with her...
Copy !req
29. I'm sorry for having to rely on you for everything.
Copy !req
30. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
31. It's my duty as a former student.
Copy !req
32. Don't hesitate to visit me at the military if anything happens.
Copy !req
33. Are you also going to judge me for becoming a soldier?
Copy !req
34. As everyone may say, there is a chance I'll end up dying like a piece of trash out on the street.
Copy !req
35. But even then, if it means I'll be able to protect this country, I don't mind at all.
Copy !req
36. Sorry if I'm boring you. It's a childish dream of mine.
Copy !req
37. No.
Copy !req
38. I think it's quite admirable.
Copy !req
39. A future where everyone will be able to live in happiness.
Copy !req
40. Can I trust you?
Copy !req
41. Can I entrust you with Father's dreams?
Copy !req
42. Hayate. No.
Copy !req
43. I'm sorry about that.
Copy !req
44. It's fine... It happens a lot.
Copy !req
45. I heard about it.
Copy !req
46. Assistant to the Führer President?
Copy !req
47. Yeah.
Copy !req
48. Looks like you had a rough time out there.
Copy !req
49. I didn't shoot anybody.
Copy !req
50. Didn't have to.
Copy !req
51. No... I couldn't bring myself to.
Copy !req
52. I'm worthless.
Copy !req
53. Because I'm not prepared, I end up troubling others.
Copy !req
54. Did something happen?
Copy !req
55. Scar was the one who killed Winry's parents.
Copy !req
56. I had a horrible feeling in my gut at that time.
Copy !req
57. In my mind, the gun suddenly turned into something horrifying.
Copy !req
58. And when I realized it...
Copy !req
59. I think she despised Scar enough to kill him.
Copy !req
60. I'd never seen her cry as much as she did after he left.
Copy !req
61. I'm so worthless.
Copy !req
62. I didn't understand her feelings at all.
Copy !req
63. You can only worry about something like that because you came back alive.
Copy !req
64. But you have to survive...
Copy !req
65. ...for the sake of the people important to you.
Copy !req
66. You have to protect her, okay?
Copy !req
67. You love Winry, don't you?
Copy !req
68. N-No! I-I-
Copy !req
69. S-She's just a childhood friend of mine!
Copy !req
70. J-Just like family!
Copy !req
71. P-Protecting her is nothing out of the ordinary!
Copy !req
72. Umm...
Copy !req
73. Sorry.
Copy !req
74. Looks like this was a burden on you.
Copy !req
75. Have you ever thought of it as a burden?
Copy !req
76. I don't even have the right to complain about its weight anymore.
Copy !req
77. I've taken the lives of many people in the past,
Copy !req
78. and I'm also the one who chose this path.
Copy !req
79. Are you referring to Ishbal?
Copy !req
80. Do you mind if I ask you about it?
Copy !req
81. Let me hear it.
Copy !req
82. What did you wretches do in Ishbal?!
Copy !req
83. Ishbal was a rough place to live, full of rocks and sand.
Copy !req
84. So it's only fitting that a strict religion and
a tenacious race of people reside there.
Copy !req
85. But some people were unhappy
that they were annexed to Amestris.
Copy !req
86. And just then...
Copy !req
87. Because of one bullet, the unhappiness evolved into anger and spread throughout Ishbal.
Copy !req
88. The riot turned into a civil war and continued on for seven years.
Copy !req
89. Then, one document decided everything.
Copy !req
90. Executive Order No. 3066.
Copy !req
91. It began the Ishbal Extermination.
Copy !req
92. Just that one sheet of paper.
Copy !req
93. It was a living hell.
Copy !req
94. The air was choked with the stench of rotting corpses and gunpowder,
Copy !req
95. and the sand was soaked with blood.
Copy !req
96. An infantryman could fire at random, and if lucky, he might hit someone.
Copy !req
97. But sniping is different.
Copy !req
98. When you pull the trigger, someone dies for sure.
Copy !req
99. The two groups who were the most closely related in terms of that...
Copy !req
100. ...would be snipers...
Copy !req
101. ...and State Alchemists.
Copy !req
102. My name is Basque Gran, the Iron Blood Alchemist!
Copy !req
103. Iron and Blood.
Copy !req
104. In other words, Weapons and Soldiers.
Copy !req
105. Who else would be more fitting to stand at the forefront?
Copy !req
106. Damn you!
Copy !req
107. Ishbalan brats!
Copy !req
108. How... How dare you!
Copy !req
109. Roy!
Copy !req
110. Roy Mustang!
Copy !req
111. So you were here, too.
Copy !req
112. It's been a while.
Copy !req
113. But man,
Copy !req
114. your eyes look different.
Copy !req
115. Same with you.
Copy !req
116. We all have the eyes of murderers.
Copy !req
117. Yeah.
Copy !req
118. Didn't we all talk about the future of this country at the military academy?
Copy !req
119. Yeah.
Copy !req
120. A beautiful future.
Copy !req
121. Captain, a letter for you.
Copy !req
122. Thanks.
Copy !req
123. Whoa!
Copy !req
124. W-What?
Copy !req
125. My beautiful future!
Copy !req
126. Her name's Gracia!
Copy !req
127. She's waiting for my return in Central!
Copy !req
128. Alone...
Copy !req
129. What if other guys hit on her?!
Copy !req
130. No, there's no way Gracia would cheat on a handsome guy like me.
Copy !req
131. No, no, but still...
Copy !req
132. Hughes, let me warn you.
Copy !req
133. This happens a lot in both movies and novels.
Copy !req
134. The guy who talks about his lover on a battlefield...
Copy !req
135. ...ends up dying right away.
Copy !req
136. Hey!
Copy !req
137. This is what keeps me alive.
Copy !req
138. This letter, and this letter only, lets me dream of tomorrow.
Copy !req
139. In this war that may never end.
Copy !req
140. You're right. There's no telling when this war will end.
Copy !req
141. No matter how many troops the country deploys, the desert just absorbs them like water.
Copy !req
142. We suffer, conquer, and what's left?
Copy !req
143. Nothing but sand.
Copy !req
144. Yeah. It's far too big of an operation for it to merely be suppression.
Copy !req
145. It's been a while, Major Mustang.
Copy !req
146. Do you remember me?
Copy !req
147. How terrible.
Copy !req
148. This woman...
Copy !req
149. ...now also bears the eyes of murderers.
Copy !req
150. Please tell me, Major.
Copy !req
151. Soldiers are supposed to protect the people. Why are we killing them instead?
Copy !req
152. Alchemy is supposed to bring people happiness. Why is it being used for murder?
Copy !req
153. Because that's the State Alchemists' job.
Copy !req
154. Why are soldiers killing the people?
Copy !req
155. Because that's what we were ordered to do.
Copy !req
156. Am I wrong?
Copy !req
157. Are you telling us to look at this horrible scene rationally?!
Copy !req
158. Let's see... for example...
Copy !req
159. Girl, your face has the expression of "I'm doing this against my will".
Copy !req
160. Can you say for certain that there hasn't been a time...
Copy !req
161. ...when you successfully sniped your enemy and felt good about your skill?
Copy !req
162. Miss Sniper.
Copy !req
163. That's enough!
Copy !req
164. From my point of view, it's you all who can't be understood.
Copy !req
165. A battlefield is a place for murder.
Copy !req
166. Did you put on that uniform
without being prepared to kill?
Copy !req
167. Don't look away from death. Look forward to it.
Copy !req
168. When you kill, face them directly.
Copy !req
169. And don't forget them.
Copy !req
170. Your enemies will never forget you either.
Copy !req
171. Oh, it's time.
Copy !req
172. I need to head off to work.
Copy !req
173. I have to go, too.
Copy !req
174. Later, Roy.
Copy !req
175. Hughes.
Copy !req
176. Why do you fight?
Copy !req
177. Easy.
Copy !req
178. I don't want to die. That's it.
Copy !req
179. Reasons are always simple.
Copy !req
180. Then what is the reason behind this war?!
Copy !req
181. There...
Copy !req
182. ...was a reason. A horrible reason.
Copy !req
183. You created a philosopher's stone using our blood?!
Copy !req
184. What did you do with that stone?!
Copy !req
185. It went to the hands of Major Zolf J. Kimblee...
Copy !req
186. ...the Crimson Alchemist...
Copy !req
187. The man with cold eyes...
who has his long black hair tied back?
Copy !req
188. Yeah.
Copy !req
189. Brother...
Copy !req
190. What else?!
Copy !req
191. Th-The war situation changed with just one intention.
Copy !req
192. Ah... Such beautiful sounds.
Copy !req
193. Such wondrous sounds ringing throughout my body...
Copy !req
194. My spinal cord dances with sadness. My eardrum shivers with joy.
Copy !req
195. This feeling can only be achieved here, where we lay so close to death.
Copy !req
196. What a wonderful career!
Copy !req
197. A beautiful sound!!!
Copy !req
198. Amazing! The philosopher's stone!
Copy !req
199. It was only a matter of time before the extermination was complete.
Copy !req
200. And then, the Ishbalan priest of highest rank, Roug Roa, stood before the Führer President to save his people.
Copy !req
201. Oh?
Copy !req
202. So you want me to trade the lives of the tens of thousands of Ishbalans in exchange for your life?
Copy !req
203. Correct. I'm-
Copy !req
204. Don't be conceited.
Copy !req
205. Are you trying to say that your life is worth just as much as the lives of the ones who are left?
Copy !req
206. Don't get ahead of yourself, human.
Copy !req
207. A person's life is worth as much as anyone else's.
Copy !req
208. No more, no less.
Copy !req
209. I won't accept the deal.
Copy !req
210. Nor will I call off the extermination.
Copy !req
211. You monster!
Copy !req
212. God will smite you!
Copy !req
213. "God"?
Copy !req
214. How strange.
Copy !req
215. After all this, I've yet to be smote.
Copy !req
216. How many more Ishbalans must I kill for that to happen?
Copy !req
217. You bastard...
Copy !req
218. God is only a figure created by humans;
that's all there is to it.
Copy !req
219. If you want to bring an iron hammer down on me,
do it yourself without having to rely on God, human!
Copy !req
220. And eventually, the war ended,
Copy !req
221. and we were allowed to go home.
Copy !req
222. In the end, we soldiers are nothing but trash.
Copy !req
223. Yeah.
Copy !req
224. One human only has the power to do so much.
Copy !req
225. That's why I'm going to protect...
Copy !req
226. ...even if it's just a handful of them...
Copy !req
227. ...the ones most important to me.
Copy !req
228. A subordinate protects their subordinate, and so forth.
Copy !req
229. That should be possible, even for us puny humans.
Copy !req
230. So you decided to take this path,
even after what you experienced in Ishbal?
Copy !req
231. Yes.
Copy !req
232. If this world is based on the concept of
equivalent exchange, as stated in alchemy,
Copy !req
233. then we must carry corpses and cross the river of blood in exchange for the new generation to live in happiness.
Copy !req
234. I'm appointing you as my assistant.
Copy !req
235. I want you to protect my back.
Copy !req
236. Do you understand?
Copy !req
237. If I'm leaving you in charge of defending my back,
it means you can shoot me from behind at any time.
Copy !req
238. If I ever stray from my path,
shoot me right away with those hands.
Copy !req
239. You have that right.
Copy !req
240. Will you follow me?
Copy !req
241. Understood.
Copy !req
242. If you wish, I will follow you to the depths of Hell.
Copy !req
243. But even if the Colonel becomes the Führer, it wouldn't change the militaristic element of this country!
Copy !req
244. You're right.
Copy !req
245. Congress pretty much exists as the army's puppet right now.
Copy !req
246. Someone would need to change that and turn this country into a democracy.
Copy !req
247. For this country to be reborn, all the faults that existed from the militaristic regime will have to be brushed away.
Copy !req
248. Faults?
Copy !req
249. For example, the government may have to pass judgment on those who committed atrocities during the Ishbal Extermination.
Copy !req
250. That's right.
Copy !req
251. The heroes during the troubled times are nothing but mass murderers during times of peace.
Copy !req
252. So the Colonel is reaching for the top while knowing about all this?
Copy !req
253. He's only on a path of self-destruction!
Copy !req
254. The Homunculi are the ones who were pulling the strings.
Copy !req
255. Even if the Homunculi were the ones who triggered it,
we're the ones who committed the atrocities.
Copy !req
256. We mustn't turn away from death.
Copy !req
257. We mustn't forget the ones we killed.
Copy !req
258. Because...
Copy !req
259. ...they'll never forget us, the ones who killed them.
Copy !req
260. But...
Copy !req
261. Don't you have something to do before you start worrying about us?
Copy !req
262. Both you and Alphonse need to return to your bodies.
Copy !req
263. I'm sure a lot of people are waiting for the day you reach your goal.
Copy !req
264. Yeah.
Copy !req
265. I'll definitely get my body back. Together with Al.
Copy !req
266. Thanks for letting us stay, Dr. Nox.
Copy !req
267. Umm... Mister Armor?
Copy !req
268. Really, thank you for everything.
Copy !req
269. I have a name, you know. It's Alphonse Elric.
Copy !req
270. Elric?
Copy !req
271. You remember Edward Elric, right?
Copy !req
272. That small alchemist.
Copy !req
273. I'm his younger brother.
Copy !req
274. I lost my body due to certain circumstances, though...
Copy !req
275. If you're that guy's younger brother...
Copy !req
276. ...does this mean you look just like him?
Copy !req
277. How rude!
Copy !req
278. I'm much taller than him!
Copy !req
279. My face isn't that stern, and I'm much stronger than him!
Copy !req
280. But I'm not short-tempered, either.
Copy !req
281. I'm a gentleman!
Copy !req
282. Sir Alphonse!!
Copy !req
283. I hope you get your body back soon!
Copy !req
284. Yeah. I hope so, too.
Copy !req
285. Dr. Marcoh, I've brought your meal.
Copy !req
286. Huh? It's awfully quiet in here.
Copy !req
287. Could it be you're crying again, reminiscing about Ishbal?
Copy !req
288. The White Devil has been released into the wild.
Copy !req
289. The new fight begins now.
Copy !req
290. But the boy will not flinch.
Copy !req
291. He gets up and walks again, with hope as his landmark.
Copy !req
292. Next time, Fullmetal Alchemist:
Copy !req
293. Episode 31, The Promise Made For 520 Cenz.
Copy !req
294. The world which can only be understood by the ones who fought together is right in front of us.
Copy !req
