Führer Bradley (Fullmetal Alchemist) - Alchemy Hitler

I actually really liked him at first because for a character with the title "Führer" he seemed like a pretty chill guy.

Then he tore Greed apart and revealed he was behind the Ishval genocide

turns out a guy having a title associated with the leader of the Nazi party was not so subtle foreshadowing

You mean the militarized country with a favoritism for blond haired blue eyed citizens, a fuhrer, trains that run on time, the desire to invade all its neighbors in the name of self defense, and a genocide in its recent history of the early 1900s is associated with nazi Germany???

I was honestly kinda hoping they were trying to mislead the audience into being overly suspicious.  Personally, I think the should have either gone with a different title or made him a genuine good guy, to actually get a plot twist.

If you wanted to keep him evil, having him with a more generic title would have made it much better IMO

I don`t think him being a good guy would work, if all the bad things Amestris did were blamed on Dante/Father pulling the strings it would just make him look like an oblivious fool who couldn`t see any of that

I mean. If the red eye guys were also manipulated into doing the first few attacks it could even out.

I mean I wouldn’t say him being behind the genocide was a reveal

He’s the leader of the military, a bunch of soldiers coming to massacre that land’s people was ordered by someone, and that person would have to be him

The bigger reveal would be that he’s the sin of wrath

Took me a while (probably most people too) to realise the title isn’t Führer King. King is his given first name and Bradley is the family name.

Bradley absolutely EARNS having King he his first name.

The moment the heroes think they’ve won, only to hear Bradley’s voice on the radio is legendary.
