The emotional connection formed with these characters is unparalleled, making their triumphs and struggles deeply moving. Alphonse are protagonists with depth and complexity, and the supporting cast is equally compelling, each contributing to the story's richness. Moreover, the character development is simply exceptional. The exploration of profound themes like sacrifice, redemption, and the consequences of seeking power makes the narrative both emotionally compelling and intellectually stimulating. It weaves a captivating tale of two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, who embark on a journey to reclaim what they've lost using alchemy. One of the strongest aspects of Fullmetal Alchemist is its intricate and thought-provoking plot. From its gripping storyline to its well-developed characters, this series has left an indelible mark on the hearts of countless viewers, and for good reason. However, the Elric brothers soon discover that there is more to the legendary stone than meets the eye, as they are led to the epicenter of a far darker battle than they could have ever imagined.įullmetal Alchemist is an ABSOLUTE masterpiece in the world of anime. Edward hopes to draw into the military's resources to find the fabled stone and restore his and Alphonse's bodies to normal. The fabled mythical object is rumored to be capable of amplifying an alchemist's abilities by leaps and bounds, thus allowing them to override the fundamental law of alchemy: to gain something, an alchemist must sacrifice something of equal value.

With his supreme alchemy skills, Edward binds Alphonse's soul to a large suit of armor.Ī year later, Edward, now promoted to the fullmetal alchemist of the state, embarks on a journey with his younger brother to obtain the Philosopher's Stone. topless and shielded? This is such a dumb nitpick but IT REALLY ANNOYS ME (mostly because I found it really cool that Greed used his shield as a shirt lmao, it’s practical and saves money).Edward Elric, a young, brilliant alchemist, has lost much in his twelve-year life: when he and his brother Alphonse try to resurrect their dead mother through the forbidden act of human transmutation, Edward loses his brother as well as two of his limbs. So why the hell does original Brotherhood Greed have a red 'shirt’ instead of being, well. However the shirt still has the red markings of the homunculus īut then again Lust is unmistakably wearing gloves, which also has these markings, meaning they actually do also appear on clothes (I don’t understand these markings at all tbh, not sure if they have a special meaning or if they are just a design choice to connect the homunculi design-wise as a team)īut anyway, it looks as if he actually is wearing a real shirt in Brotherhood, right? But where does it go when he turns into shield? Because as we can see with Greedling, shirts don’t just disappear, they are still very much visible Ĭlothes can’t go under the shield, since the shield is basically skin, and as it’s clearly shown with Greedling. The 'shirt’ is red while the ultimate shield is unmistakably grey (On the gif you can see that it’s obviously true)

This is 2003 Greed and you can definitely see that his ‘shirt’ is actually his shield, aka he’s constantly protecting his vitals + it looks like a sick shirt, so cool right I noticed a tiny nitpicky completely irrelevant design difference between 03 and Brotherhood Greed that kinda won’t stop annoying me so I think about it all the time
