History Recap / FullmetalAlchemistBrotherhoodE54BeyondTheInferno

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: It's a sign of how far Roy's gone off the deep end that Ed's not being sarcastic or disrespectful towards Mustang when he and Scar try to intervene. Ed's sweating bullets and quietly terrified Roy might just actually try to nuke him with Flame Alchemy if that means getting Envy.

* WouldHurtAChild: ''Very'' narrowly avoided when Ed steps in to shield Envy from Roy. The Flame Alchemist has gone so far off the deep end that he's actually ready and willing to burn Ed's automail arm to slag (and risk seriously injuring him) just to get Envy.

* VillainousBreakdown: Envy has several in short succession: first when it is about to be killed by Mustang (being reduced to a sobbing, pleading wreck), then again when its attempts to turn the four heroes on each other don't work, and finally, when Edward sees through it and calls it out on its secret jealousy of humans. Envy commits suicide as a result.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Downplayed example. By pursuing Envy and trying to avenge Hughes, Roy is wasting valuable time they ''don't'' have before Father is ready to activate his endgame. Roy's actions also force Scar and Ed to split off from the Chimeras and MNay.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Invoked and acknowledged in-story by Scar when they try to stop Roy. Scar says he won't step in to personally stop Roy from giving into vengeance against Envy if he chooses to strike the final blow. After all, what right does ''he'' of all people have to stop someone from taking vengeance?

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Envy tries to pull his usual ShapeshifterGuiltTrip schtick on Mustang by approaching him as the late Maes Hughes, an [[BerserkButton enraged]] Mustang barely hesitates to use his flame alchemy to burn him. Envy sorely [[LampshadeHanging wonders]] how he could [[EvenEvilHasStandards burn the very likeness of his late friend]]. A livid Mustang ominously growls "Maes Hughes is dead..." This drives home how Mustang feels such hatred and rage towards Envy that he'd willingly [[{{Symbolism}} burn]] the very memory of the fallen comrade he grieved not months ago.

* SheatheYourSword: After Mustang cools down, a tiny Envy tries to incite Mustang, Riza, Ed and Scar to fight one another. He even goes as far to try and open old wounds about how [[CallBack Scar murdered Winrey's parents and Nina]]. Instead, everyone wordlessly decides they're done being manipulated by Envy and choose to ignore their baser instincts. This is enough to leave Envy a mental wreck helplessly screaming over how [[ThisCannotBe impossible]] it is for these four humans to overcome their hatred.

* DeathByIrony: '''Envy''' commits suicide after Ed accurately calls it out on the fact that its hatred for humans stems from the fact that it secretly, well, ''envys'' humans and their ability to overcome hardships by bonding with and supporting each other.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Envy is used to humans being so easily manipulated and made to turn on each other. When he first-hand witnesses Ed, Riza, Mustang and Scar's resolve to put aside their differences is unshakable ''despite his best efforts to put a wedge between them'', it leaves the little homunculus screaming with disbelief.
-->''':Envy:''' How could you four hope to team up? You're way beyond the point of kissing and making up. Right pipsqueak? Right Hawkeye? Mustang? ''Scar''? ({{Beat}}) There's no way! No, you can't! Never, never! It's impossible! How could you? How could you do it? '''''HOOOOOOOOW'''''?!

* KarmicDeath: It's hard to argue that Envy's death wasn't a long time coming and then some.

* DeathGlare: Roy has one and it gets more and more menacing when Envy pushes more of his BerserkButton.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Envy is humiliated and furious when it realizes that Edward, the human it claims it hates the most, has it completely pegged and pities it. It's enough to drive Envy to destroy its Philosopher's Stone and kill itself.

* MomentOfSilence: The EyeCatch showing Envy is silent, following its death.

* BeserkButton: Mustang was already pissed off but Envy attacking Hawkeye makes him even more angry, if it was possible. It's at that point he stops playing and unleashes a massive barrage of fire at Envy.

* AintTooProudToBeg: When Mustang reduces Envy to their foetus!form and crushes them under his foot, Envy begins crying and begging for their life.

** Envy, after Ed correctly deduces and calls them out on their jealousy of humans.

* GreenEyedMonster: Edward realizes that this is the real reason Envy hates humans so much--it's secretly jealous of them, and their ability to persevere and bond with each other. Envy is so humiliated at being called out on this that they commit suicide on the spot, whereas before they were begging Mustang not to kill them.
