Episode Notes

 * During the scene where Major Armstrong and Edward Elric arrived at Resembool, May Chang and Xiao-Mei are seen in the background checking out Resembool's map.
 * In the english dub of this episode, Ed incorrectly referes to Hughes as "Lieutenant General Hughes" (same rank as Grumman and other high ranking officers) rather than Brigadier General Hughes, which is the correct translation.
 * Breda's explanation of Roy's plan to free Maria Ross is placed earlier than it was in the original manga, and also shortened. We don't learn that Ross is still alive until after Roy kills Lust in the manga, whereas in the anime, it's before. Several humorous scenes involving Roy on the phone with Barry are also cut, including a scene where Barry knocks Falman out cold.
 * Additionally the scene of Ed, Breda, and Major Armstrong originally meeting Mr. Han inside a coffee shop in Resembool before traveling through the desert has been cut.
