* Played with in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'': Ed is unintentionally awakened by train hijackers referring to him as [[Berserk Button|runt]]. In a fit of rage, he wipes the floor with every bandit in the train car. Afterward, he has no idea what is going on, and asks who the unconscious bandit he's holding by the collar is. Turns out that he was just subconsciously reacting to the word "runt". |
