I have seen all of the 51episodes in the TV series and the Conqueror of Shambala, but I remember seeing another fight scene that was missing from the series and movie.  The scene was in English and I either saw it online or more likely on one of Direct TV's cartoon channels.

It was Alphonse, as the suit of armor, fighting solo against a powerful enemy.  It to take place in a stone castle's room.  The room was long an narrow, well lit, but not sunny and they were standing-off against one another across the room.  I don't recall but the enemy may have had a sword and was planning to hack Alphonse to bits until he broke his blood seal.  He did know about the blood seal and it's effect.  I recall Alphonse explaining about being and empty suit of armor.

Alphonse eventually wins the battle by transmuting his whole suit of armor in to something like sand?  I'm not clear on the details, but I do know that he completely transmutated and I don't recall, but there was an explanation of how he could do that and keep his soul.

IF you know where this scene comes from, please let me know.  You will be the trivia CHAMPION! 

I Think You Were Dreaming...

the one that comes to mind is the one were al fights barry the butcher in suit of armor form

YAY!

thank you for the suggestion crystalalchemist. 

I'm certain the fight between Al and barry the butcher (aka. barry the chopper) in suit of armor form is not the episode that I was searching for.  Al doesn't even defeat barry the butcher, Scar comes around and stops the fight (episode 21 The Red Glow).

Also, Al doesn't transmute his whole suit of armor, seal and all.  I think that's key to identifying this scene that I'm looking for.  I know that I'm not imagining seeing this.  I most likely saw it on Adult Swim/Cartoon Network on Direct TV.  This was before I saw the whole series.

 I really can't remember who he was fighting, but the enemy was winning until he pulled off this full body/armor transmutation.  Along with the scene, Al explains a lot about who he is, so maybe this was a PROMO scene or a trailer?

PLEASE, help all of you die hard fans.  I know someone out there is as passionate about FMA as I am.

If you think that I am imagining this, then you probably haven't seen all of the episodes and are rationalizing so that you don't have to go searchings like I am.  That would make you the lesser dedicated fan.   :TONGUE:

Looking under the "Anime Episode" link on the left "Alchemist's Handbook" I see that there are 1-54.  Are 52-54 actual episodes?  Like I said, I've seen only episodes 1-52 and the movie.  Can anybody familiare with 52-54 tell me more?  Much appreciated!!!

To my knowlege, there is only 51 episodes of the Fullmetal Alchemist anime and then the movie; there is also the Fullmetal Alchemist 'Reflections' which is basically a recap on the entire series.. uncovering secrets that people may or may not of already known about.

However, are you sure that the scene you're referring to isn't from one of the Fullmetal Alchemist video games?   since they often use anime cutscenes.  

:COOL:

Hey that's a possibility!  It could have been with how much explanation of the basics was included.  What games should I look in to?   Maybe it was on the G4 channel???  The scene was possibly several minutes long, but certainly not a whole episode (I'm thinking ~6 minutes long).  Thanks for the serious lead!  I haven't seen the recap or DVD extras scene.. oh wait no, I did see the extra scene where the state alchemists fight the homuculi.  That was pretty sweet.  That one answered my question of where the intro scenes to the episodes came from.

Please keep the suggestions coming.

u mean fma games, right?

yes, crystal.  Any ideas how to see the cut scenes from the games w/out buying the consoles and playing the games?

I really thought that someone would be able to tell me where the scene came from.

try google or youtube
