Episode 29: Struggle of the Fool (2009 series)

Episode Notes

 * This episode is adapted from content in Chapter 56: The Lion of the Round Table, Chapter 57: Scars of Ishval and Chapter 60: In the Absence of God.
 * The Transmutation Circles that appear in the background of this episode's title card are the Human Transmutation Circle used by the Elric brothers and the Flame Alchemy Circle used by Roy Mustang.
 * It's ironic to note that up until this point in the series, Scar has considered himself an agent of God and those around him have found the idea offensive (as they deem him no more than a crazed murderer); but when Marcoh tells Scar that he sees the Ishvalan's arrival as an act of God, it's Scar who finds the idea offensive, and can barely prevent himself from murdering Marcoh outright.
