Episode 5: Rain of Sorrows (2009 series)

Edward and Alphonse are attacked by Scar, a mysterious killer wanted for a string of gruesome murders. His powers are incredible – and his obsession with slaying State Alchemists might be justified.

Episode Notes

 * This episode is adapted from content in Chapter 6: The Right Hand of Destruction and Chapter 7: After the Rain.
 * The Transmutation Circles that appear in the background of this episode's title card are the array on Alex Louis Armstrong's gauntlets and Roy Mustang's Flame Alchemy circle.
 * Edward's short reference to the aching in his leg due to the rain outside is omitted from this episode.
 * In the manga, just before Scar attacks the Elrics, he kills a military policeman who has been sent to escort them to safety. But in this episode, the MP does not appear, causing one to question just how Alphonse realized that the Scarred Man was dangerous.
 * In the corresponding manga chapter, Lt. Hawkeye fires on Scar once, but in this episode, she shoots three times.
