* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Shou Tucker is a very [[EvilIsPetty small-scale villain]] who [[SmugSnake thinks he's much more important than he really is]], is TooDumbToLive and [[WeHardlyKnewYe gets killed off in one episode]] in an [[DroppedABridgeOnHim unceremonious]] way; but the disgusting combination of [[DomesticAbuse using his own wife]] [[AbusiveParents and daughter]] [[ItsAllAboutMe to further his personal goals]], and his [[NeverMyFault refusal to admit to any wrongdoing]], makes him the most widely hated character in the entire series[[note]]Though the narrative confirms that [[HateSink he's]] '''[[HateSink intended]]''' [[HateSink to be hated]][[/note]], far more than the likes of [[{{Sadist}} Envy]] or [[BlueAndOrangeMorality Solf J. Kimblee]] who commit large-scale atrocities and get much more screen-time. WordOfGod herself confirms via the manga's In Memoriam omakes that Shou ends up in Hell for his actions, a fate notably unshared by any other deceased character other than [[BigBad Father]].

* HarsherInHindsight: Nine episodes later, it's revealed that the Amestrian government used Tucker's chimeric experiment on his wife as a stepping stone to begin their own research, transmuting human/animal chimeras in perfectly healthy condition and powerful {{Super Soldier}}s. This means that Tucker turning Nina and her dog Alexander into an unhealthy chimera was [[AllForNothing completely pointless, even from a scientific perspective]]. In hindsight, this episode is an early sign that Amestris' government is corrupt; the higher-ups knew all along that Tucker's first chimera was his wife, and punished him the second time not because of what he had done to his daughter, but because they [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness decided that he was no longer useful]]. Ten episodes later, and it turns out that [[spoiler:Führer King Bradley is Wrath, one of the [[OurHomunculiAreDifferent Homunculi]]]].

* CaptainObviousReveal: Shou being EvilAllAlong isn't really surprising, considering that the first talking chimera he transmuted was in pain and suicidal, he [[ParentalNeglect neglects his young daughter in favor of his research]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and]] wears ScaryShinyGlasses. The real shock comes from [[TheUnfettered the sheer lengths he would go to to get what he wants]].

* ObviousJudas: Roy's sombre recount of what happened to the first chimera Shou transmuted, Shou's ScaryShinyGlasses, and his parental neglect of his little daughter in favour of his research makes it very easy to figure out that something is wrong with him. Somewhat subverted in that the revelation of ''how'' depraved he really is in his desperation to keep his certification succeeds at being genuinely horrific.

* CatharsisFactor: Shou getting brutally killed by Scar, considering he callously transfused both his ''daughter'' and dog for a mere paycheck.

WordOfGod herself confirms via the manga's In Memoriam omakes that Shou ends up in Hell for his actions, a fate notably unshared by any other deceased character other than [[BigBad Father]].

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Shou's [[CharacterDeath death]] at [[VigilanteMan Scar]]'s hand ([[FacepalmOfDoom literally]]) is so [[DroppedABridgeOnHim unceremonious]] that it almost ends up being funny, especially since it's [[KarmicDeath an appropriate end]] for someone with an excessive sense of self-importance. Whereas almost everybody else who gets killed by Scar goes out fighting and/or has an expression of horror before their death to increase the drama, Scar just ''walks right up to'' Shou before delivering his signature CruelAndUnusualDeath.
