Created Human
Template:Infobox Anime episode
Created Human (Japanese: 「造られた人間」 - Tsukurareta Ningen) is episode 22 of the Fullmetal Alchemist TV series originally aired 2004-03-06.
Template:Spoiler Knowing that the Elric brothers have gone to Laboratory 5, Lt. Colonel Maes Hughes organizes an expedition to rescue them from who-knows-what. Unbeknownst to Ed, Envy has been gathering more "ingredients" (prisoners, including "Crimson Alchemist" Zolf Kimbley, who was imprisoned for war crimes) to add to Ed's attempt to transmute a Philosopher's Stone. Führer King Bradley joins Colonel Hughes' expedition. Kimbley sets off an explosion, dumping the prisoners into the room where Ed is preparing to transmute the Stone. Envy, Lust and Gluttony arrive to give Edward an ultimatum: transmute the precursor material, and the live prisoners, into the Philosopher's Stone; or, watch as they break Alphonse's blood seal which keeps him alive and attached to his armor. As much as Ed would like to return Al to human form, he can't go through with it. Before Envy can give Ed another beating or Lust can break Al's blood seal, Scar arrives on the scene and all hell breaks loose.
Continuity error: The Führer says that he will allow "the Major" to command the mission to rescue Ed and Al from Lab 5, referring to Maës Hughes. However, Hughes has held the rank of Lieutenant Col., not Major, since Episode 8.
