Roa and Dolcetto are killed almost immediately and Greed is defeated by Bradley. However, when Greed, Martel, Roa, Dolcetto, and Al try to escape through the sewer system, Führer King Bradley arrives to impede their efforts. In the raid on Devil's Nest, she stays in Al's armor and survives the massacre. She aids significantly in the capture of Alphonse Elric by getting inside his armor and stretching her limbs to impede his movements. In the manga, Martel is first encountered in Dublith. Martel told Alphonse that the mine blew her in half, and gained a new body after she had her half body combined with a snake. She escaped soon after, along with her friends Roa and Dolcetto. While in the lab, she was combined with a snake. She stepped on a mine and was taken to an army lab. But the next episode is even better.It is implied in the 2003 anime that Martel was a soldier who unknowingly started the Ishval Civil War before being imprisoned in Laboratory 5 though the manga states that she was critically wounded by a landmine in the recent Southern border war with Aerugo. The dialogue, the art, the combat, the characters. What does Izumi know about Dante that she didn't tell the brothers? If she thinks Dante would be willing to kidnap Al, why send the brothers to her at all? When Izumi talks to Dante at her house, she seems to suspect Dante had something to with Al's abduction. The one thing I wonder about is Izumi and Dante. Clearly the rest of Greed's team didn't trust him, so what made Greed? Forget greed, this guy's weakness was his pride. He probably should have kept closer tabs on him. But Greed says that he doesn't have the nerve to, because it means having to kill.Īs expected, Kimbley betrays Greed. In his life, he went from somebody who thought of alchemy as this great thing full of possibilities to passively lamenting that alchemy can do bad things, to now hoping to actively help correct those mistakes. I love his bit about "correcting mistakes" (ie, the homunculi) and Greed urging him to fight him like he plans to kill him. ![]() They break up the fight Ed has with Greed in the manga into this fight and the one in the next episode, so we get a bit less, but it's still great. I did like their indivudal combat with him, though. It was just one attack and then she was already out of it. I would have liked to seen more of Edward and Izumi's team up to fight Greed. It was one of my biggest problems with the English dub. He does capture some of Greed's slickness, but he doesn't sound nearly as powerful in the role. It's too bad I can't say the same for his English voice actor, the patron of mediocrity, Chris Patton. What helped endear him to me was his voice actor, Junichi Suwabe, really brings his character to life. He's my favorite character in Fullmetal Alchemist. Greed's speech about what he wants out of life is excellent. I love his snarky, jaunty, off-beat personality. He's wicked, sure, but friendly in a way. I love Greed's banter with his colleagues and Alphonse. Not to mention it spat on the manga material. Episode 13 of Brotherhood takes this material, and takes a giant sloppy dookie all over it, then washes it down with bloody pee. ![]() Compare this episode to episode 13 of Brotherhood. Greed is forced to retreat, taking Al with him. The military storm in, with Kimbley betraying Greed. ![]() Ed engages Greed in a fight, but makes little headway, Greed unveiling his fully armored form. Edward arrives as the military closes in on Archer's orders. Izumi beats up Greed's henchmen, but is unable to take down Greed, who easily brushes off her attacks, tranforming parts of his body into hard armor. Meanwhile, Edward runs into Major Armstrong who tells him that the military is also looking for Al and planning to raid the bar. Suddenly, Izumi and Sig arrive, demanding Al be returned. However, Greed is unharmed, and shows Alphonse that he can come back from seemingly fatal injuries. Greed introduces himself to Al and asks him about his body, wanting to obtain the secret to eternal life, but Al refuses to tell him and attacks him with alchemy. In Greed's lair, his henchmen reveal that the military turned them into chimeras. Dante shows Izumi a matchbook from The Devil's Nest. Edward searches around town for him while Izumi asks Dante about what happened. Synopsis: Greed's gang subdues Alphonse and take him off.
