Episode Notes

 * This episode is adapted from content in Chapter 11: The Two Guardians, Chapter 12: The Definition of Human and Chapter 13: Fullmetal Body.
 * The Transmutation Circle that appears in the background of this episode's title card is the Five-Point circle discovered in Laboratory 5.
 * Ed's right shoulder is, of course, actually malfunctioning due to the A-08 bolt which Winry forgot to install in Episode 6.
 * Unlike in the corresponding manga chapter, Envy is shown breaking a large hole in Lab 5's wall to escape the collapsing building, likely using the significant amount of physical strength afforded him by his great, hidden mass.
