This episode shows Sabimaru and Renge using their alchemy power on-screen for the first time. What's kinda surprised me is that Minato tasked Sabimaru with the clean up job aka Neuralyzing the Muggles.

The Dragonfly Malgam has a funny huge Pompadour similar to Yanma Gast's. I think the mysterious man is the kid's teacher at school or tutor at cram school.

What's Atropos' motivation to appear before Rinne? In the preview for the next episode, she's shown as if she's revealing some secrets about Fuga. Does she do it merely to break Rinne's spirit, or something else? What does she gain from doing so?

Spanner trying to connect the dots is also an interesting scene. It looks like the alchemy organization has long known about the Sisters and their goals, and vice versa. It seems to be more and more likely that they were once allies. Perhaps the Sisters' organization consists of rogue alchemists, similar to the schism between Jedi and Sith.

This episode ends with Houtarou free-falling from the sky. I bet he's gonna be saved by Hawkstar. It's episode 7 already, and this series has still got many base forms to show.

Regarding Houtarou's dream, I have a hypothesis. Houtarou's dad probably had similar grand dream to Houtarou's, that is, the coexistence of Chemies with humans, and to share the power of alchemy to the world. The main villain(s) probably didn't like that idea because they only wanted to keep the power of alchemy to themselves to enable them to rule the world behind the curtain. I think that's why Fuga cryptically stated that the Gotchardriver can bring hope if used by the right person, and bring darkness if falls into the wrong hands. It kinda makes no sense if Houtarou has already got a grand dream while he's only known about Chemies (and alchemy) for just one week.
