In this episode, we get reintroduced to three familiar characters - Nina, Tucker and Scar. Even though I already knew what's going to happen to Nina, I still feel very sad. Why must such a terrible thing happen to such a sweet girl? (v.v)This episode is the same but yet somewhat different from that of the first season. For this part of the story, I do like the first season better as the connection between Ed, Al and Nina was really strong (mainly due to the fact that they spent more time together) and I felt really emotional and sad when they revealed that Nina was transmuted into a chimera.
Since we know the story pretty well, instead of writing a summary, I shall list out the differences:- Basque Gran shows up at the beginning and he puts up a good fight against Scar. However, Scar outwits him and he's killed. (In the first anime, there was no showdown at all. Before Basque Gran could fight back, Scar had already made his move and killed him. Also, Basque Gran's death happened only after the Tucker/Nina incident.)- Ed and Al are not preparing for the State Alchemist examination and they never stay in Tucker's place.- Both Nina and Tucker are killed by Scar. (Only Nina was killed.)I hate Tucker so it's great that he's killed!
PicturesScar vs Basque Gran (Scar wins!)
Ed vs Alexander (Alexander wins!) ^-^
Nina ♥
As an exchange for showing his research, Tuckers wants to know about Al and Ed's past.
Nina loves playing with Ed, Al and Alexander.
(T.T) Nina and Alexander become one.
Ed realizes the truth behind the chimera and gives Tucker a punch!
Poor Nina!!
Ed: 'We're humans! We're just ridiculously small humans who can't even save one little girl..'
Scar appears and kills Tucker in the name of his god.
He kills Nina too! (v.v)
