and to say that they get themselves seriously injured would be an understatement. Gone Horribly Right: Envy decides to piss off Mustang by gloating about how they killed his best friend Hughes in front of him.

Everyone Has Standards: Darius and Jerso, who never met Hughes (as he was long dead by the time Kimblee's Chimeras were introduced), are nonetheless visibly sickened by Envy's remorseless confession and gloating.While they were in the very room where Lust met her end. Epic Fail: Envy actually forgot that Mustang killed Lust when they gloated to him about how they murdered Hughes.It's not like he would actually attack his friend when he knows it's an imposter.

Sure, Envy, shapeshift into Hughes after having remorselessly confessed to murdering him in such a sadistic manner as to send said murdered man's best friend into a blind fury.

That won't backfire in any way whatsoever.

Sure, Envy, boast about how you killed Hughes in front of his best friend, one of the most powerful alchemists alive.

except that Mustang is so enraged with Envy that he loses all restraint and his remaining friends worry that he will lose himself to his hatred. Bar none, the most one-sided 'fight' against a homunculus in the entire series. It's only after Envy transforms into Gracia and Roy understands how they got the drop on Hughes that the Flame Alchemist finally accepts it's the truth. But as this is the first time he's actually met Envy, he's having trouble believing that, to paraphrase his words, a moron like this could've taken out his best friend (or alternately, he does believe Envy, but is goading them to get irrevocable confirmation). Envy confesses their role in Hughes' murder, but Roy doesn't initially believe them. Here, he's able to incinerate them completely and reduce them to ash. In the manga, Mustang is only able to incapacitate the Mannequin Soldiers by using his flame alchemy to burn their legs off.

Adaptational Achilles Heel: Downplayed.
