Trivia
Chimera
The term Chimera comes from Greek mythology, originally referring to a mythical creature that was a combination of a lion, a goat and a snake. The Japanese kanji (symbols) that the show uses for "chimera" are made from the symbols for "gousei" (meaning 'combined' or 'synthetic') and the symbol for "kedamono" (meaning 'beast').
Ed's left-handed
In reality, it's not so much that he's left-handed as that he has to write with his
left hand, given that his right is now made of metal.
His handwriting's not great, though...
Alternate ending sequence
Unusually, the ending to this episode (Kesenai Tsumi) had some scenes replaced with pictures of Nina and her dog, Alexander (see below). The ending sequence also ended differently, and instead of Edward smiling, his eyes are clearly watering as he forces a smile to hide his sadness.
Slip-ups
None.
