Well I recall it was the same for manga readers when this chapter first came out. And that's the thing after waiting so long for it it might not be hard to enjoy seeing Roy take vengeance for Hughes' death and totally overpower Envy. At first the reader/viewer might not realize what this is doing to Roy. And I think that is the brilliance of Arakawa's writing that she makes us question what we ourselves wanted for so long.

Anyways the only thing I didn't like about this episode is Ed getting freaked out over Roy killing all the clones. Was that really necessary? Ed knows Roy is a good guy at this point. In fact Ed is worried about Roy because he knows Roy's true character and cares about him.
