Father’s Day is here, and that means plenty of families are taking time to celebrate the special day. However, the holiday is not one everybody can celebrate. There are plenty of reasons to avoid Father’s Day, and anime fans know one girl who should definitely ignore the whole thing. Fullmetal Alchemist made it clear Nina Tucker deserved better than she got, and that is why fans are stunned by the series’ holiday message today.

The clip, as you can see below, comes from Viz Media in honor of the big day. The brand was able to film a short message with Brina Palencia, the voice actress who plays Nina Tucker in Fullmetal Alchemist. It was there the young girl gave a message to fans, and honestly? It is enough to give any fan chills.
The clip simply shows Palencia channeling Nina as the young girl asks what a kid can get their dad to show their appreciation. Normally, this kind of question would be cute, but that is the opposite case here. After all, Nina’s dad is Shou Tucker, and the man is one of the most reviled characters in anime.

If you have seen Fullmetal Alchemist, you will know why the man is so hated. The crazed scientist not only secretly experimented on his wife, but his sweet daughter was also caught up in his alchemy schemes. Nina ended up being fused with her puppy as a sentient Chimera whose existence was nothing short of torture. In the end, Nina was killed before the Elric Brothers and given peace while Shou was taken into custody. So if there is one father in fiction who doesn’t deserve a good Father’s Day, it is that guy.
What do you make of this wild Father’s Day tribute? Is there a worst dad in anime than Shou Tucker…? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB.
