Video Edit
Typical misplacing of the logo during the begining and returning of the commercial breaks. Head to the "General Edits" journal to view the images.
Name Change
Martel's name is dubbed as Marta. It can pretty much go either way.
Dialogue Change
Japanese Lust: (To Greed) It's no use running.
English Lust: (To Law) And what did they combine you with?
The problem with the dub dialogue is that you can clearly see her eyes follow Greed as he escapes. She has no interest in the other two and doesn't pay any attention to them until they charge in on her and Gluttony.
Thoughts
So what did I think? This has to be one of the best dubbed episodes. No cuts, superb voice acting (I was REALLY impressed with Law's roars as he changed to fight Armstrong), and this happened to be the episode featuring one of the best animated fight scenes in anime history. Shame Greed had to die, though. Now the plot thickens.
