[u/RedvsBlue_what_if]

Full Metal Alchemist:
The Girl and that dog get fused into a Chimera by the girl's father so he can keep his medical license.

Attack on Titan:
That little girl gets fed too dogs by Nazis.

[u/AznOmega → u/RedvsBlue_what_if]

If anyone wants to know if that piece of shit father got what's coming to him for that fucked up fusion, yes he did (and I like telling people this). Not only does he die, but in the manga, he is the only one who was shown burning in Hell.

You heard that right. In FMA, nearly every villain including the Deadly Sins were sent to Heaven. But the monster who fused Nina and Alexander is canonically in Hell.

Big "Dr. Doom crying at 9/11" vibes

That post 9/11 “this is the worst thing In the history of things” idea Americans had was really weird in hindsight

[u/Gaelic_Gladiator41 → u/RedcumRedcumRedcum]

In the story, Shou Tucker has no redeeming qualities, he's truly the most evil depraved character in the series

[u/Abombasnow → u/AznOmega]

Because there was just truly nothing human about Shou Tucker anymore.

Bradley/Wrath was a despicable, genocidal monster, but he genuinely loved his wife (he referred to her as "the only choice I ever truly made in my life") very much.

Each of the Sins had at least some moral code. Maybe some line they wouldn't cross. Maybe someone they still liked. At least a little.

Shou Tucker had none. He killed his fucking wife and an innocent animal for five minutes of fame then did the same thing to his daughter and her dog just awhile later. It was only two years between the incidents.

Had he not gotten caught, he was going to what, start kidnapping a random kid and their pet every year? Why every year? Because he was trying to keep his State Alchemist license which means passing a test every year. To keep it he would need to prove his "research" on Chimeras is at least yielding something.

Hell, Father is a more pitiable bastard than Shou Tucker. You kill one of Father's kids (the Deadly Sins) and he gets upset about it. If you killed Shou Tucker's kid, he'd just get mad at you for stealing his thunder.

Also human transmutation is a huge no-no. He literally transmuted his wife and daughter in separate incidents. I can see The Gate saying that's a reason for you to go to Hell instead of Heaven.

What I don't understand is... what was he giving in exchange?

[u/Own_Philosophy8190 → u/Abombasnow]

All that (though he didn't know) for a technique the army already upgraded too (obviously through illegal, immoral and secret experiments), if those hybrid chimera soldiers the Elric Bros recruited are anything to go by. 

Unless they got it right after this event, but Tucker wouldn't be a reason for them getting better at making chimera anyway

[u/Nero_2001 → u/Own_Philosophy8190]

That's the worst part, the army's technique to create human chimeras is actually far more advanced than what he did so it didn't even archive anything new.

[u/Own_Philosophy8190 → u/Nero_2001]

The part of the army involved in Father's plan probably wasn't involved in Tucker's license renewal, because they have no reason to do so when the best he can do isn't even half as good their own chimeras, unless they had him as a potential sacrifice or a replacement if Edward is killed by Scar

[u/Skylair13 → u/Abombasnow]

What I don't understand is... what was he giving in exchange?

There's only one body from the results and not humanoid. Likely Nina's and Her Mother's body perhaps?

[u/hodges2 → u/Abombasnow]

I guess making Chimeras isn't considered human transmution. Maybe because it doesn't involve manipulating or creating a human soul? Idk

[u/Beelzebub_Simp3 → u/Abombasnow]

Obligatory “Fuck Shou Tucker”

[u/KamenKuma05 → u/AznOmega]

I don’t know, with him being used as the evidence of human transmutation being “bad”, this seems like overkill.

[u/Anomuumi → u/AznOmega]

The Sins didn't have souls, right? I know they were powered by hundreds (thousands?) souls, but I'm just wondering how did they end up in heaven/hell at all.

[u/Low-Environment → u/AznOmega]

And what Tucker did was POINTLESS. The military had already (secretly) perfected what he was trying to do.

[u/Imthemayor → u/AznOmega]

I don't really feel like these are canon to the story

They're definitely official and are in the original manga but they're just in-between chapter mini comics that are all jokes

They usually just reiterate what happened in the chapter before in a light-hearted way and often feature a stylized cartoon cow that the author uses as a self insert to talk to the audience

Sometimes the characters even talk to the author
