* EvilCannotComprehendGood: General Klemin is outraged when he finds out that Mustang and his team are going out of their way to avoid killing Central Soldiers, believing they're doing so just to mock them rather than because they're actually trying to avoid killing people who don't know just how evil their superiors are.
Added DiffLines:
* ThouShallNotKill: Mustang and his subordinates go out of their way to avoid killing the Central Soldiers pursuing them, likely because they know that [[LockedOutOfTheLoop they are in the dark about their superiors' corruption]]. The worst they do is simply shoot them in the legs or feet. [[AvertedTrope The soldiers from Briggs on the other hand are all too willing to kill the Central Soldiers in their way]].

!Tropes present in this episode include:
* LethallyStupid: It ''really'' was not a good idea to activate an army of nigh-invincible creatures before tests were completed.
* NoNameGiven: The general who activates the Mannequin Soldiers, or "Mannequin General", as well as the scientist who protests the aforementioned action[[note]]because the soul-bonding tests weren't finished[[/note]]. Their names are never revealed.
* SmugSnake: The Mannequin General. He is too self-satisfied for his own good, dismissing a scientist's concerns that the Mannequin Soldiers' soul-bonding tests aren't finished, and so aren't ready to be released. [[TooDumbToLive This ends up being what gets him killed]] in the following episode.
* TemptingFate: The Mannequin General dismisses a scientist's concerns that the Mannequin Soldiers aren't ready with "Shut up! When else are we gonna use them?" [[GoneHorriblyWrong No points for guessing what happens to him in the following episode.]]
* TooDumbToLive: The Mannequin General activates the Mannequin Soldiers--an army of nigh-invincible pseudo-homunculi creatures--before soul-bonding tests on them are completed. In the following episode, it's revealed that the Mannequin Soldiers are not loyal to the general, and [[ImAHumanitarian devour]] him. [[SarcasmMode What a surprise!]]
