At first, you may think that he's one mean guy. Someone who only cares about doing everything and anything assigned to him for the sake of his job and name.
But I guess, if you think so, you must be wrong. He is some great guy.
I just finished watching an episode of FMA. It is the episode after the Philisopher's Stone was transfered at Alphonse's body.
Mustang, was ordered to find the Elric brothers because the military was blaming the two, for being responsible of what have happened to the village where the red light came from.
Mustang and his troop together with the Major, began their search. They took the secret way going back to the Elric's home. They know that way for some reasons and they know that Al and Ed will use that way.
Then all sorts of fast beat action came... running and chasing I mean.
Anyway, the part that struck me from this episode, is what Roy had said.
Winry was there, and she said something about her parents. Asking if this was the same thing that happened with them. For a while Mustang did not answered.
But at the moment he was able to corner Ed and Al, he began to speak. He said something like this... I just translated it in English for I was watching its tagalog version...
"One time, I was the one assigned to kill two doctors. This doctors were on our side, but they kept on helping other people who were injured that was our enemies. They have been warned but they did not stop doing so... Even though I know that it was pointles killing them, I was forced to for I am a part of the military...
But from that time on, I swear to myself, that I will never follow the military's senseless orders.
I did not follow you two because the military told me so. I followed you two because you frustrated me.... WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK FOR MY HELP!"
Never thought that a guy like him, will be frustrated at kids who did not ask for his help.
The thing here is that, he was worried...
He cared.
He himself, like Ed, will never be a follower of the senseless orders of the military.
Thus, I guess the episodes will truly be more inspirational... :D
Can't wait to watch it. ^_^
