EPISODE CONTEXT

As episode 1 of 51, this is the definitive entry point—establishing the Elric brothers' mission, the rules of alchemy, and the moral complexity that will drive the entire series. The Lior storyline introduces Father Cornello and Rose, setting up immediate conflict that continues directly into episode 2, 'Body of the Sanctioned.' More importantly, it plants thematic seeds around forbidden knowledge and equivalent exchange that will pay off across the full run.
