Episode Notes

 * This episode is adapted from content in Chapter 106: The Abyss of Pride and Chapter 107: The Final Battle.
 * The symbol that appears in the background of this episode's title card is Alphonse's Blood Rune.
 * Several aspects of the battle are changed in this episode.
 * When the Briggs soldiers open fire on Father to protect Edward and Izumi, he takes damage from a bullet and falls to the ground rather than blocking the shots with energy.
 * Greed's frontal attack on Father is altered so as to be a grab at Father's "God energy" rather than a tactic to have him drop his guard so that Edward can strike from behind.
 * Edward's punch is blocked with a rapidly transmuted wall rather than energy and instead of going in alone, he is joined in his close-range onslaught by Izumi and Major Armstrong, who had both attacked from long-range in the manga.
