Episode Notes

 * This episode is adapted from content in Chapter 17: The Boomtown of the Broken Down and Chapter 18: The Value of Sincerity.
 * Paniya's automail arm is exclusive to this anime series, likely due in part to the group needing to meet her in the arm wrestling tournament. In the manga and 2009 anime, Paninya only has automail legs.
 * The man who accompanies Hakuro is Frank Archer, a character exclusive to this series who is properly introduced three episodes later.
 * In the manga, only Ed was cheating when he competed in the automail arm wrestle match due to the fight promoter and audience insulting his height.
 * In Edward's invoice at the beginning of this episode, it calls the state "Modern Britain."
