In this episode, he shows that he can sound both determined and worn, gentle and angry, and even charismatic. I wouldn't say that he was ever terrible in the first series, but not great. He started very shaky, and he never really impressed me in the first series. I'm going to go ahead and say that Travis Willingham has become the best performer in the entire English dub of this program. Edward has a few lines, sure, so does King Bradley and Marcoh, all cursed with poor performers, but their scenes are mercifully short. And do you know why? Because it's mostly Travis Willingham's Roy, Colleen Clinkenbeard's Riza, and Sonny Strait's Maes, with few other characters making significant contributions. Envy goes to check on Marcoh, but finds a dead body and the word "vengeance" written in blood on the wall. Back in the present, Riza tells Edward that Roy's path will eventually lead to judgement on those who took part in the war, regardless of who was manipulating them.
The war eventually ends, and Roy has Riza become his assistant. The head Ishbalan cleric tries to exchange his life for the life of his people, but King Bradley refuses the deal, calling him foolish. Kimbley, one of the State Alchemists uses a Philosopher's Stone made up of Ishbalan civillians to kill others. Hughes, however, looks forward to a future involving his girlfriend, Gracia, back at home. In a flashback, Mustang meets with Hughes and Hawkeye after a long while, and sees that they all have the eyes of a murderer. After the war broke out, it was seven years before Fuhrer King Bradley ordered the State Alchemists into Ishbal to eliminate the population. Synopsis: Riza Hawkeye relates to Edward, and Marcoh to Scar, the Amestrian military's role in the Ishbal conflict.
