* FatalFamilyPhoto: Lt. Colonel Hughes carries a photo of his fiancée with him during the Ishbalan war. GenreSavvy Colonel Mustang then points out that [[DiscussedTrope if they were in a war story]], carrying a photo of her around and showing it off so proudly would be a sure-fire way to die ironically on the battlefield. It's initially subverted as this is a flashback and the audience knows that he does make it back to his girlfriend and marries her and has a kid. This is a reference to the fact that all through the series, he's showing off pictures of his daughter and occasionally of his wife. Eventually, it is DoubleSubverted as he is the first important character to die. Plus, the family picture partially causes Hughes's death: he drops it in the phone booth, Envy sees it and is able to transform into his wife, and poor Hughes can't stab him to save his own life.
