Ed, Izumi and Sigu are watched over by the soldiers under Archer's orders and they refuse to let the trio go. Meanwhile, as exchange for betraying Greed, Kimbly and Tucker are allowed to return to the millitary. In addition, Archer tells his men to kill everyone in the bar including Greed's gang who has escaped.The soldiers are hot on Greed's heels and his men get killed one after another. Suddenly, Armstrong appears in front of them and demands that they release Al. Roa takes on Armstrong where he goes into battle mode transformation but he is still no match for him. Armstrong persuades them to surrender so that they will not be killed. Greed tells Armstrong to relay a message to Kimbly and Tucker that he will be back to take revenge on the duo. Roa then smashes the wall of the underground tunnel thus giving them a chance to escape. Meanwhile, Ed, Izumi and Sigu have escaped from the soldiers by creating dummies to fool them.
Greed manages to take cover at a hut with Roa, Dolcetto and Martel only and is troubled over what he should do next. Just then, Lust and Gluttony appear and give Greed two choices i.e. either to be sealed again or killed on the spot. Lust reminds Greed that because of his disobedience to a certain person, he was sealed 140 years ago so she can also do the same to him under that person's orders. Dolcetto and Roa decide to handle Lust and Gluttony themselves so as to let Greed, Al and Martel run away. Although Greed is not willing to let them sacrifice for him, he decides to listen to them who ask him to take revenge on everyone's behalf.
Ed decides to go to Dante's house for a look as he notices a large number of birds flying away from her place. In the meantime, Greed, Al and Martel are hiding in the forest where Greed tells Martel to escape by herself if he's not back by dawn and goes somewhere without explaining further. Martel wants to get out from Al's armour but he stops her since Greed had given instructions for her to hide inside.
Greed comes to Dante's house where Lust and Gluttony observe from a distance. Lust says that everything is according to that person's plan so their job is done.
Greed sees Lyra who sees through why he is here as this is the place where he was created. She brings him to the hall where Greed feels very uncomfortable at the sight of some human bones which Lyra says that those are his remains. When Greed asks where Dante is, he is shocked to see her dead on the floor. Suddenly, a blue light appears where Greed sees an alchemy sign on the rooftop and this causes him to be in excruciating pain. He starts to throw up the red water crystals which melt one by one and feels drained after the ordeal. When he looks around for Lyra, he sees that she's no longer around.
Just then, Ed who has seen the blue light from the outside of the house, rushes into the hall and misunderstands that Greed killed Dante. Greed does not explain himself and challenges Ed to a fight if he wants to save Al. Ed uses alchemy to fight against Greed and manages to strip the latter's arm of its invincible shield. He explains that even though Greed may be a Homcrest, his body composition is still similar to humans. Under this principle, the substance which can be converted to form that metallic shield would be carbon whereby one third of the body is made up of. By knowing this, Greed's shield is no longer unbreakable but he refuses to give up. Ed makes up his mind to fight with Greed until he agrees to reveal Al's whereabouts. Ed manages to kill Greed easily as he has lost much of his life power due to the vomitting earlier. Before he breathes his last, Greed reveals that the weak point of the Homcrest is when they see the remains of the original person whom the alchemist was trying to resurrect and this restricts their movements. He also says that Ed can defeat that person and that he would rather die than be sealed again. Ed cannot believe that he has killed Greed and can only look on helplessly as Greed dissolves into a pool of water...
Dawn comes and Martel fulfills her promise to Greed by releasing Al and leaves. Ed then buries Dante in her garden together with Izumi and Al but they cannot find Lyra.
The brothers and Winry decide to go to Isbal to look for Scar as they do not want the millitary to cause more trouble for Izumi and Sigu. Ed makes up his mind to continue with this journey until he achieves his aim...
Oh...the death of Greed...No more of Suwabe-san's voice! Frankly speaking, Greed is my No.1 favourite Homcrest. Of course, it has to do with the fact that his charisma is heightened by Suwabe-san's voice but I find his frankness in not concealing his greed for material things and his mannerisms especially when trying to make light of the situation very appealing. Besides, he's not as detestable as the other Homcrest members. Now that he's no longer around, I really miss hearing Suwabe-san's voice.
Nevertheless, Greed has offered some valuable information to Ed. There is this someone who is controlling the Homcrest and I have a hunch that it could be Dante given that Greed was in fear of her and that Lyra mentioned that Greed was born at Dante's house. Thus, Greed's evolution and his being sealed 140 years ago should be related to her in one way or another. My hunch is that Dante is not dead and she might have transferred her soul to Lyra's body instead and left her old body to die. Thus, the current Lyra might contain Dante's soul instead. It's just a guess at this stage because that's the only explanation I can come up with given that I don't believe a character like Dante who seems to be hiding many things would die so easily.
It seems that the bag belonging to Greed could have been the red water crystals instead of money. To Greed, the red water crystals sustain his life so when he threw them up after being tricked by Lyra, it made him much weaker thus allowing Ed to kill him easily. However, Kimbly created a mini explosion in that bag which Archer was holding so I'm sure Kimbly is just making use of Archer for his own goal instead of listening to him blindly.
