* TooDumbToLive: The aforementioned member of the Senior Staff, even if he had no way of knowing that the Mannequin Soldiers were coming, decides to take command in the Führer's office while failing to realize that doing so would make him an easy target for the enemy.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Honhenheim initially tries to avoid attack Father. He tries to reason with him, appealing to their old friendship and the memory of what the Dwarf in the Flash used to be like before he went down this path of darkness. It doesn't work, but points for trying.

* FlatCharacter: Invoked and acknowledged in-story by Hohenheim during his and Father's reunion. He comments on how Father's become this in the centuries since Xerxes. We also get flashbacks to "Episode 40" showing how much more vibrant and alive the Dwarf in the Flask was and how emotionless, cold, and sterile he's become in the interim (and since extracting his Sins).
