Mustang pops in, asks if they're in need of help, and proceeds to set every single one of the mooks ablaze, clearing the whole room in under two seconds. Big Damn Heroes: Pulls one on Ed and his team, while the latter are engaging a horde of immortal mooks and are slowly but surely losing.Then he kills the shit out of Lust and the audience is reminded that there is a reason why he made Colonel at such a young age. Beware the Silly Ones: Since his introduction, he's portrayed as an obnoxious, arrogant, little goofball whose biggest weakness is getting wet.Harming either Riza or Hughes will get you barbecued.He doesn't take kindly to being reminded that he's useless when wet.He seems to have perfected his persona so much so that almost everyone underestimates him. Comes in all fronts: he is very much Obfuscating Stupidity in his use of alchemy, his arrogance is a charade to bury down his self-loathing and his fame with women is a long tale of Urban Legend Love Life (which is a long story in itself as stated below). Turns out, he has to keep a pretense to hide his more ambitious goals in the military. On top of all that, he has no qualms about burning someone in cold blood. Beneath the Mask: When we are introduced to him, one can understand why Edward hates his guts: he is a glory hound, kissing up his higher-ups' asses, ridiculously arrogant and a shameless womanizer.Him just losing his sight did teach him something valuable, but he didn't commit the hubris of transmutation to warrant losing his eyes in a side story, there was an alchemist who lost his eyes trying to bring his friends' daughter back, reinforcing this notion. However, he was truly forced to perform human transmutation (specifically, Pride used energy from his own Philosopher's Stone while using the Gold-Toothed Doctor's knowledge to more-or-less force Roy through the Gate). Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Mustang only loses his sight after meeting Truth, rather than his actual eyes.Beard of Sorrow: While grieving Hughes' death, he lets himself go.Be All My Sins Remembered: He wants to become Fuhrer so that he can make sure the war criminals from the Ishval genocide face justice for what they have done.Battle Couple: With fellow soldier Riza, unofficially, due to the military's anti-fraternization rules.He wears a white long coat during his time in Ishval. Badass Longcoat: Wears a long black coat on his uniform.Badass in a Nice Suit: He always wears a uniform with a dress shirt underneath and when he switches to his civilian clothes he prefers a very dapper look.Badass Fingersnap: One of the most famous examples in fiction and provider of the trope image when he snaps the friction he creates between his fingers provides the ignition for his flame alchemy. Incinerated Lust and curb-stomped Envy with no effort, and he actually had to be injured twice and blinded in the final battle against Father to preserve the drama. Probably the most powerful of all the State Alchemists. Badass Bookworm: In the same vein as Ed.Mustang: You told me I couldn't kill you. Badass Boast: To Lust: "You said it takes more than that to kill you, right? Then I'll just keep killing you until you die!" The English Dub version of this is just as awesome.
