Episode 28: Father (2009 series)

The Elrics come face to face with Father – and his face is familiar indeed. Powerless and amazed, Ed and Al can only watch as Father creates a new Homunculus with alchemy that should be impossible.

Episode Notes

 * This episode is adapted from content in Chapter 53: Signpost of the Soul, Chapter 54: The Fool's Struggle, Chapter 55: The Avarice of Two and Chapter 56: The Lion of the Round Table.
 * The fact that Trisha Elric and Van Hohenheim were unwed is alluded to, but never stated outright in this episode, as opposed to the corresponding manga chapter, in which Edward plainly explains that his parents were not married.
 * In the Funimation dub of the episode, Troy Baker takes on the role of Greed. This was due to Chris Patton leaving the voice acting business before recording wrapped on this series.
 * This can be seen as a continuity error, as the new Greed is supposed to be the original, only with his past memories supposedly wiped. However, The voice change could be a result of the new Greed taking up a new form.
 * During the first airing in America on Adult Swim, the final scene involving Father removing Gluttony's stone to revive him was cut. Due to their habit of heavily shortening the opening and ending songs and even cutting out the previews, this was presumably done for more commercial time.
