If you have not read my last review, you may do so here: Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 5: The Man with the Mechanical Arm
Ed brags about being able to pass the state alchemist exam. Colonel Mustang sends Ed and Al to stay with the sowing life alchemist, Mr. Tucker. Mr. Tucker apparently used alchemy to create a chimera that can speak, which is supposed to be impossible. To help Ed and Al study for his exam, Tucker shows them his library full of alchemy books. This is an amazing sight to the boys who want to learn as much as possible.
The boys gets started in their studies right away. One of the advantages of becoming a state alchemist is that Ed and Al will have access to many more books in the military library. After the boys play with Tucker’s daughter we find out that it is Edward’s birthday. Hughes throws him surprise party that ends up being more of a surprise than anyone expected!
Hughes’ wife goes into labor! Ed uses alchemy without a circle while taking care of Hughes’ wife. This isn’t supposed to be possible. After some time, the Doctor finally arrives and the baby is born. Ed and Al talk about their Mom and Al becomes sad because he isn’t human anymore. Even though he doesn’t have a human body, Al still has human emotions.
The boys pass the written part of the exam. Everything seems to be going well when Colonel Mustang gives the boys some bad news. Al has to drop out of the exam so the military doesn’t find out the truth about him and his past. Ed comforts him by saying that only one of them needs to be in the military and have access to the library. Ed moves on without Al and takes the second part of the exam, an interview.
Ed passes the interview as well and moves on to the final test. The final test is all of the candidates who are left using their alchemy out in the open. Something goes wrong during this and Ed ends up saving several of the other alchemists who’s projects went haywire. It was noticed that Ed did this without the use of a circle, which was all the military needed to see in order to pass Ed with flying colors.
