!Tropes present in this episode include:
* AffablyEvil:
** As with his previous incarnation, Greed.
** Subverted with Father. He initially appears to be this, but soon reveals his true colors as FauxAffablyEvil.
* AGodAmI: Father's attitude. When Ling accuses him of looking down on humanity, Father contemptuously replies that he considers humanity so far beneath him that he can't even bother to consider them fools or care about them at all.

* AmnesiacDissonance: The newly-born Greed has none of the memories of the previous incarnation (including originally meeting the Elrics in Dublith), and is loyal and obedient to Father.
* BadassInDistress[=/=]DistressedDude: Ed, Al, and Ling already weren't doing well in their fight against Father, but after the latter nullifies the Elrics' alchemy, all three of them are promptly captured and restrained, giving Father the chance to inject Ling with a Philosopher's Stone.

And then he coldly orders Gluttony to devour Ling, and when Ed and Al plead with him not to, he coldly and callously replies that Ling is completely useless to him.
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Subverted with Ling, after Father injects him with the Philosopher's Stone. Ling ''is'' attacked by several of the souls in the Stone, but when Greed appears (and seems to fully expect to have to do this with Ling in order to gain control of his body), Ling willingly gives up his body and allows Greed to possess him, in order to obtain the immortality he's been searching for.
* BerserkButton -> UnstoppableRage:
** May's fury at Shao May being "kidnapped" leads her to lash out at everyone else present with her alkahestry.
** When Ed reveals to Scar that Envy was the one truly responsible for the shooting incident of the Ishvalan child that ignited the Ishvalan Civil War, Scar does not hold back in fighting the rest of the Homunculi.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Father "shuts off" the Elric brothers' alchemy, which renders them powerless long enough for Envy to restrain them.
* CharacterDeath: Played with with Gluttony. He does sort-of die as he uses up his Philosopher's Stone and has to be reabsorbed by Father (and disappears from the story for a while), but it's explicitly established that the "death" is not permanent, and that Father will re-create Gluttony later (with all of his memories intact, unlike Greed, so he'll still be the same person).
