Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 7: Night of the Chimera’s Cry




If you have not read my last review, you may do so here:  Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 6: The Alchemy Exam

Ed receives the pocket watch that he earned for passing his State Alchemy exam.  After Ed shows the watch to his brother, Tucker says he will throw Ed a big party to celebrate his success.  Tucker is currently under a lot of pressure.  He has to turn in a report every year showing his findings or they will revoke his State Alchemy license.  Without his license and State funding, Tucker says he will go back to being poor.

We meet a mysterious man with a scar on his face and tattoos on his arm.   He runs off when Ed stops him and rips off his shirt sleeve, revealing his strange tattoos.  After the weird encounter, Ed moves on to what he was there for…investigating Tucker.  Something just isn’t right about him.  Tucker’s daughter says her mom left them but the military says she died.  Things are just not adding up and there is more than meets the eye here.

Ed sees a woman murdered and passes out.  It reminds him of what happened to his Mother and it is just overwhelming.  Things may go deeper than Ed thought.  The Military kicks Ed out of Tucker’s house for investing his work.  That doesn’t stop Ed though and him and Al break back into Tucker’s house later on.  Oddly enough, Tucker invites them in and shows them the Chimera he created.

In one of the most twisted and evil things I have ever seen, Tucker has combined his own daughter and dog into a Chimera in order to keep his Government funding.  This guy is pure evil!  Tucker attempts to compare Ed and Al to himself, he says they are the same.  Ed takes the sophisticated approach and pounds Tucker into the ground.  The Iron Blood Alchemist hits Ed and covers the situation up.

Ed, still determined to expose this horrendous plot, uses his alchemy to stop the truck they are removing the “evidence” in.  The Chimera escapes and comes across Scar from earlier.  He touches her and can somehow read her.  He destroys her out of mercy.  Ed and Al find the body….
