![]() As he attempts to pass Nina off as his second speech-capable chimera, however, Edward realizes the horror of what the Sewing-Life Alchemist has done when Nina speaks innocently to him from inside her new monstrous form. While the Elrics are away, Shou transmutes Nina and Alexander into a Human Chimera using the same method with which he transmuted his wife. As Shou's yearly assessment approaches and his license comes into jeopardy, Nina attempts to console her depressed father, but her reassurances merely inspire the man to begin his depraved practice once again. Unfortunately, what the little girl did not understand was that her mom had not abandoned her family as Shou had claimed, but rather had become an unwilling human test subject in the secretly deranged State Alchemist's chimerical experiments and died. The Elrics immediately understand how Nina feels as they remember their own father paying little attention to them and declare their intention to play with Nina and Alexander and the three kids and dog spend most of the rest of the day playing together. The three kids (and canine) grow very close over the few days of their acquaintance after Nina confides in the boys that her loneliness is largely due to the fact that her mother had left her father two years ago, just before Shou Tucker received his State Alchemist certification, after which point his increasing immersion into his research greatly limited the amount of time he was able to spend with his young daughter. This immediately attracts Alphonse's attention but Ed gets annoyed at Al for getting distracted. However, the lonely little girl quickly forms a rapport with the Elric brothers, convincing them to spend a great deal of their time each day playing with Nina and her lovable dog, Alexander. Young Nina first appears in Chapter 5, when Edward and Alphonse Elric arrive at her father's estate in East City in order to study bio-alchemy with the help of his specialized notes and resources. 2.2 Revived Nina's Appearance (2003 Anime Only). ![]() Kotaku even ranked it as one of the most depressing scenes in any anime, even when compared to anime like Evangelion, Berserk and Clannad: After-Story. This was the source of many viewers' realization of just how intense this series could get. In Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, it happens in episode 4. In the original anime, it's in episodes 6 and 7. In the manga, this takes place in the fifth chapter, collected in its second volume. This event happens fairly early on in all versions of Fullmetal Alchemist. For many fans, Scar quickly dispatching both the Chimera and (depending on what version you watch) Shou Tucker himself is an act of both mercy and justice. It doesn't help that Tucker seems to have no remorse for his actions, showing almost a manic pride in what he did. The scene where Ed and Al find Tucker with his new chimera is haunting, as the two brothers slowly realize how Tucker made the chimera. ![]() Wanting to avoid that at all costs, he produced a second chimera, only this time he used his daughter Nina and dog Alexander. After failing to produce something that impressed the government after years of being a licensed state alchemist, he figured his life would be over if he lost his license. Shou Tucker gained notoriety as an alchemist due to his ability to create a chimera - which he made by secretly fusing his wife with a dog.
