Inside the laboratory, Ed also discovers that Slicer is actually two souls, those of brothers, and barely manages to defeat them, using Scar’s technique of deconstruction. Outside, Barry fills Alphonse with doubts over the validity of his existence. Lust and Envy appear before Ed, with Envy knocking him out and taking him to his brother, Brosh, and Maria, as the lab collapses. Barry makes his escape, as does Envy.

Fullmetal Alchemist Manga vs First TV Series – ROUND EIGHT
Fullmetal Alchemist Manga vs First TV Series – ROUND EIGHT
So, this is it. The final round of manga/first anime series comparisons. After volume 8 of the manga (actually during volume 8), the differences between the two versions of FMA expand into a large gulf. In volume 8, the Xingese characters are introduced. In episodes of the series, there’s a return to Lior, where Scar tries for revenge against those who destroyed his people.
It’s been fun comparing.

*****SPOILERS*****
Synopsis: Edward and Alphonse are in a bind when the 1st Branch of the Central Library is burned down, with all of Marcoh’s reasearch in it.

Sheska has the unique ability to recall everything she has read, and copies what she read of Marcoh’s notes, which are encoded as recipies.

The Elric brothers sneak into Laboratory 5, a supposedly abandoned lab next to the prison. They aren’t alone, however, and while Ed sneaks deep inside, an armored guard attacks Al.
