Episode Notes

 * This episode is adapted from content in Chapter 70: The First Homunculus and Chapter 71: In the Grip of the Red Lotus.
 * Winry's suggestion that Ed wear a shinguard to protect his new leg is left out, however the shinguard appears on Edward's person later in the episode.
 * The array that appears in the background of this episode's title card is the Ouroboros.
 * Ed's line regarding Kimblee's insanity "I'm surprised you even passed the State Alchemist sanity test" was cut from this episode, presumably for time. It does leave out Kimblee's ability to act normal around those who fail to understand him. Additionally, Kimblee's assertion that his admiration for Winry Rockbell is strictly platonic is not included in this episode.
 * In the English dub of this episode, Kimblee mentions to Winry that his team had been dispatched to help her parents during the Ishval Civil War, but in the original Japanese anime and manga, Kimblee is careful to imply that his mission was a rescue, but never states it.
