Appearance
Edward is small for his age, continuing at but 149 cm (4'11") at the offset of the series, despite his attempts to announced taller, (due to the notation that he cannot stand regular milk). He wears his aureate-blond hair long - usually tied in a complect that hangs down to his shoulders, just sometimes forgoing the braid for a simpler ponytail. He parts his bangs in the middle and then that they frame his confront on either side as they fall and, in the center of the parting, he leaves a single strand of hair sticking upwardly similar an antenna. In Chapter 56, it is revealed that he does this intentionally, presumably to add together to his superlative. Ed's eyes, besides, are gilded, signifying his Xerxesian ancestry. It is revealed in one of the Fullmetal Alchemist fine art books that the reason why Edward wears all black is to hide whatsoever oil stains that he may obtain from his automail.
Early in the manga, Ed receives a sparse, horizontal battle scar just above his right eye, which remains because his subsequent battles cause the sensitive pare to tear open repeatedly. As of Chapter 76, even so, the scar appears to take healed over completely. As the series progresses, some of Edward's facial features (his nose and chin) brainstorm to accept on characteristics like to his begetter's. At the cease of the series, Edward is shown to have grown noticeably taller, being several inches taller than Winry and finally being at least equal in peak to Alphonse.
Near the cease of the 2003 anime series, information technology is revealed that the Globe has its ain version of Edward Elric, who is identical to that of the storyline save for having his hair and bangs cutting short.
Automail
As a consequence of his alchemical dismemberment, Edward was fitted with full steel automail prosthetics custom crafted by Winry and Pinako Rockbell. His left leg from just above the knee down is automail and his automail right arm reaches all the way up to his shoulder; both are designed then that their outer shells resemble modernized plate mail service.
In the manga and 2009 anime series, after Edward travels to the northern area, he is refitted with new, cold-climate type automail limbs. Designed to be rich in carbon to prevent frost damage and lighter to help Edward'southward movement, they are both significantly thinner than his previous models and fifty-fifty announced more lustrous, with a more than prominent silver tint than the old steel versions. At the end of the series, Edward keeps his automail leg and the scars from the installation of his arm remain indefinitely on his right shoulder.
In Conquistador of Shamballa, Edward is fitted with a gas-powered automail arm by Hohenheim for apply on Earth, where automail does not exist. It is coated with a sparse, skin-colored film so as to alloy in with the rest of his trunk, but when the gas motor is activated - allowing Ed greater power and motion with his arm - the rut from the exhaust melts the coating, revealing the mechanical plating underneath.
Clothes
Ed wears as his trademark a bright red, long-sleeved, hooded cloak whose tail comes downwards to his upper calves. Emblazoned in black on the back is a Flamel, signifying his tutelage under the master alchemist Izumi Curtis. It is likely that Edward fashioned this cloak for himself, every bit he needs to repair it oftentimes and, in Affiliate 85, transmuted ane from scratch using a ringlet of cherry-red cloth. During the Elric Brothers' trip to the northern area, Ed's cloak was modified somewhat with a white fur trim around the hood to accommodate comfy passage through cold conditions.
Though Ed's clothes vary over the course of the series, he seems particularly fractional to black and volition nearly e'er dress in blackness trousers and some sort of black shirt under his coat. In his usual outfit, Ed primarily wears a sleeveless black shirt with a black jacket that has silver/white lining forth the edges, along with a crimson trenchcoat-type jacket. This is his principal outfit, and over the course of the manga and 2003 Anime, the jacket undergoes multiple changes. This is seen at the beginning of the manga and 2003 anime where the jacket is longer and is tucked into his belt. However, when he first leaves Resembool, it hangs over his belt and has a attachment on top. The most mutual version portrays the jacket existence connected at the elevation with a push button, and falling slightly brusk of waist-length, making information technology possible to run across his black shirt. He likewise wears a wide brown leather chugalug to which he keeps his silverish Country Alchemist pocket watch affixed. In the 2003 anime, this chugalug is instead changed to two sparse belts worn parallel to each other.
Equally part of his attempts to seem taller, Edward is rarely seen without his elevator shoes - black leather boots with thick, red soles. Additionally, he frequently wears white gloves when in public to conceal the fact that his right arm is artificial.
Information technology is probable that his general outfit is meant to convey a red, blackness, and white motif, as these iii colors (as well as the gold color of his pilus and eyes) are considered significant in traditional alchemy.
Personality
On the surface, Edward displays an young sort of personality. He is decidedly stubborn and strong-willed, ofttimes letting his pettiness and vindictiveness get the better of him (it is this stubbornness that contributes to Führer Bradley's decision to codename him "Fullmetal," as "Hagane" (literally meaning "steel") is a term in Japanese that denotes someone of obstinate disposition.) and oftentimes has to be restrained or reprimanded by Al or whoever else is present. He is somewhat selfish and cocky-absorbed, mostly acting more than out of cocky-interest than whatever sort of philanthropy likewise as taking several opportunities to stroke his ain ego or flaunt the governmental ability and monetary license of his military position. He is largely hostile towards figures of authority and feels little incentive to follow orders with which he disagrees, earning him the distinction of existence a loose cannon of sorts.
Edward is too rather choleric, resorting more often to steel-fisted violence than calm negotiation to settle disputes (fifty-fifty going so far as to suggest that refraining from hitting Paninya considering of her gender is a sexist notion and, therefore, against his principles). He has a reputation for existence foul-mouthed and is an incurably sarcastic carper, only too happy to frankly and harshly relieve others of their comfy delusions regarding God, reality, or their own self-importance. Edward has also displayed a propensity towards impatience and an inability to sit down notwithstanding for long, which perhaps contributes to his love of travel.
However, for those few people who have made an impact on him, Ed shows his deeper nature to be one of marked selflessness, unflinching loyalty, and great compassion. As someone who has had to suffer greatly at such a young age, Edward cannot ignore the true suffering of others and becomes sympathetic upon sensing hurting and resolve in people's hearts. Though his solemn advice to such people is often tempered with brusk criticism, it is only considering he genuinely wishes to place them on the well-nigh direct path forwards. As ane who has to struggle with a maimed body, he urges those with healthy bodies to use their potent legs to motility forwards, and equally one burdened by the mistakes of his past, he stresses the necessity of people taking responsibility for their own errors. Though he will arbitrate on behalf of the oppressed if he concludes that a situation has chosen for information technology, Ed tends to help only those with the will - but non the means - to help themselves, in which case his recklessness and disdain for authority often has him bending the rules to dole out a Robin Hood-esque justice in accord with his stiff conventionalities in the concept of Equivalent Exchange, earning him notoriety and popularity as a "hero of the people."
A defining trait of Ed's shown throughout the series is his guilt complex; as far every bit he'southward concerned, his and his brother'due south current states are his fault, partially because information technology was his idea to transmute their mother in the showtime place and partially because Al lost his entire body as a event of the experiment, while Ed only lost an arm and a leg. He was fifty-fifty convinced that Al hated him for what happened to his trunk, and was scared to ask him about it for years. As a event of this trait, he starts off as highly standoffish, trying to attain everything on his own and not accepting help from anyone but Al, too as being convinced that he can solve all of his problems through Alchemy. Over fourth dimension, however, he learns to depend more on his friends and share his burdens with others. But while he may work on his guilt, it never truly goes away, as fifty-fifty towards the cease of the serial, he's still beating himself up over Nina Tucker being turned into a Bubble, despite having saved countless other lives along the way.
"Shorty?! Could a shorty practise this?! What else you want to call me: a half-pint edible bean-sprout midget?! I'1000 withal growing y'all backwater desert idiots!"
Of course, the most noticeable of Edward'south dispositional characteristics is his Napoleonic deprival of his shortness. Even in moments of relative composure, any and all references to his stature cause him to violently lose control of his emotions and lash out both verbally and physically. One of the most common reasons for these outbursts is if anything related to his size, since he has a complex about being shorter than average (his peak is 165 cm). Distinctive to these outbursts is Ed'southward trend to have fifty-fifty the most coincidental mention of his height as a gross insult and interpret it exaggeratedly, mistaking words every bit uncomplicated as "small" for phrases equally contrived equally "and so-tiny-that-he-need-not-fright-being-crushed-by-a-boot-because-he-fits-so-hands-betwixt-the-grooves-of-the-sole" and the like. Those unfortunate to utter the word "small" in his presence are fated to suffer 1 of his vindictive tantrums unless he is in the incorrect and needs to exist put in his place such as when Izumi Curtis calls him a runt while scolding him and Al in the manga. He also accepts Nina referring to him as "Little big blood brother" in the 2003 Anime. This office of his personality is presumably no longer present by the end of the series, given that he has grown to normal height by then.
Though Edward professes that he does not believe in gods, his spiritual sensibilities tend more toward the deistic than the atheistic. He does not pray merely often acknowledges the being of a God in his speech, whom he often blamed for the difficulty of his life. Ed'due south aesthetic sensibilities are also quite twisted in that he is a peachy fan of gothic or macabre fixtures and volition usually transmute decorations filled with monstrous or demonic imagery and unnecessarily gaudy details, much to the dismay of anyone who receives a souvenir or service from him. He has also fabricated information technology known that his trademark cherry coat is part of this general lack of taste, every bit it is what he says is: "a badass colour [that] gets the claret going."
Relationships
Alphonse Elric
Edward's human relationship with his younger brother is easily the strongest and nigh significant of his personal connections. Ed is very protective of Al, but Al seems to care about Ed in an virtually parental way. Though the Elric brothers have wildly different personalities and contend oft about the best way to go well-nigh things, they are shut plenty that each would readily and willingly give his life for the other. As it is, Edward willingly sacrificed his right arm as material for a Soul Binding Transmutation after Alphonse's whole body was taken into The Gate (an act that well-nigh killed him) as office of the payment for the attempted resurrection of their mother. Edward managed to telephone call his blood brother's soul back from the void and affix it alchemically to a suit of armor, but remained wracked with the guilt of having both initiated the experiment that caused the accident and damning his blood brother to a cold existence inside an artificial trunk incapable of physical sensation (something that Edward believed his brother blamed him for). Despite his own physical hardships with his automail limbs, Edward appears to intendance relatively little nigh returning his body to its original state and is entirely focused on restoring Al as soon as possible.
Winry Rockbell
Throughout the story, their feelings will grow too.
Ed'south relationship with Winry Rockbell is likely one of his more complex personal connections. Born to the kind family that lived side by side door to the Elrics, Winry grew up alongside Ed and Al and means as much to them both as would a sister; she and Ed are more than childhood friends, they are a family. As such, even so, Edward argues with Winry even more than he does with Al, their similarly stubborn personalities keeping them at odds with 1 another despite their powerful bond. After the terrible blow that claimed Ed's arm and leg, Winry took on the function of his personal automail mechanic, building him sophisticated new limbs at the tender age of eleven. Since then, Winry has served as Ed's abiding well of back up, both mechanically and emotionally, though they notwithstanding find themselves arguing frequently. However, this appreciating hostility appears to exist masking a deeper relationship. Though Edward has not outwardly admitted any romantic feelings toward Winry, he is rather overprotective of her and becomes unnaturally flustered at the mere proposition of an amatory relationship betwixt them. Winry, for her function, has admitted to herself that she fell in love with Edward long ago. This relationship was confirmed at the end of the serial, with Ed confessing his feelings to and somewhen marrying Winry. According to the Fullmetal Alchemist Relate (Official Guide), they get married in 1917 and have two children.
Roy Mustang
Officially, Colonel Roy Mustang is Edward's superior officer, merely their relationship is far from the typical professional connection. There exists between them a sort of amicable antagonism, as Roy takes a great deal of personal pleasure in teasing Fullmetal and watching him squirm under his orders and, at the same time, Ed takes pleasure in getting effectually his orders and showing Mustang up whenever he manages to detect an opportunity. Though their meetings are fraught with a great bargain of credible, mutual dislike, Flame and Fullmetal hold a slap-up deal of respect for one some other and are compatriots as well equally co-conspirators in the cloak-and-dagger battle confronting the Homunculi. Having originally scouted the immature boy for the Land Alchemist plan and formed a bond with him, Roy genuinely wishes to see Edward fulfill his goal and Edward likewise subtly supports Mustang'due south undercover bid to become the Führer and improve the country.
Van Hohenheim
Edward's relationship with his estranged father is strained in both the manga and 2003 anime versions of the storyline. Edward had e'er appeared to have some animosity towards Hohenheim when he was a child because he thought he was a deadbeat father who left him, Alphonse and Trisha. Blaming his mother'south death on Hohenheim's sudden deviation, Edward antagonizes him and initially refuses to accept the slightest chip of help or cooperation from him. After a while, however, Edward comes to terms with his father's presence and comes to trust his expertise in regards to dealing with the Homunculi. Different Al who calls him "Dad," Edward merely addresses him by name.
Trisha Elric
Before her death from a contagious disease in 1904, Edward's beloved mother had always been a source of greatest comfort to him. Wishing to fill the void left in Trisha'due south center from her hubby's sudden and seemingly permanent departure, immature Edward did everything he could to make her smile. In fact, it was the fact that his mother was and then pleasantly surprised by his alchemical abilities that Edward became so engrossed in abracadabra at such a immature age. In no uncertain terms, Trisha'south death was the defining moment of Edward's immature life - the trigger for all the sadness that was to follow. However, he still holds her dearly in his centre, suffering from the void that her absenteeism has left within him.
Izumi Curtis
As a sometime educatee of this Spartan-minded alchemy mentor, Edward'southward respect for Izumi'southward swell wealth of knowledge coupled with his memories of her harsh concrete and spiritual training during his youth contribute to the fact that she is initially the only person of whom the brash young State Alchemist is outright and unapologetically afraid. That being said, the time she spent raising Edward and Alphonse to be skilled alchemists and wise young men in general has left an immensely profound print on their hearts, causing them to see her (in her gentler moments) as a sort of surrogate mother, just every bit she seems to look at them equally surrogate sons. Their relationship hits a strain with the boys' shame at having directly disobeyed her teachings, but when they own up to their transgression, Edward and Izumi are able to come to an agreement, not merely as primary and educatee or as surrogate mother and son, just as friends and colleagues.
Alex Louis Armstrong
Moved by their tragic story and impressed by their decision and courage, Alex has taken quite a liking to Edward and Alphonse Elric and frequently concerns himself personally with their prophylactic and well-being, as when he escorted them to Resembool and when he placed them under the protection of his ain subordinates in Central City. Edward frequently expresses resentment at the major's overbearing, coddling nature while Al relishes the long-lost chance to be treated like a young boy at Armstrong's easily. The Elrics have institute in the Stiff-Arm Alchemist a particularly trustworthy friend and the major fervently looks forward to the fulfillment of the boys' potential also as to the return of their bodies.
Scar
Initially, Scar hunted Ed downwardly for being a State Alchemist (though Ed himself never participated in the Ishval massacre) and Ed hated him for what he did to Nina. This hatred grew when he learned Scar also killed Winry's parents. He wasn't to a higher place luring Scar out then he would try to impale the Elric brothers, forcing the Homunculi to arbitrate since they needed Ed and Al alive. Ed also revealed to Scar that it was Begetter and the Homunculi who were the main cause for the Ishval war. In spite of this, Scar oftentimes worked with Ed in the later half of the series to terminate Father and while Ed notwithstanding clearly held a strong animosity toward him, he accepted Scar's help.
Greed
The ii were initially non on adept terms, as Greed kidnapped Al to learn how to bond a soul to a suit of armor. Edward, equally a result, fought with Greed before Wrath captured him. When they remet, Greed became Ed's enemy and followed Begetter's orders. Ed tried to reason with Ling (as Greed took over his body but failed). When the two met again, Edward asked Greed if he wanted to bring together him. Greed suggested instead Ed, Darius, and Heinkel be his subordinates, a proffer Ed accepted. Despite their arguments, alongside Ling, Ed became one of Greed's closest friends and the two worried for each other during their battle against Father and the other homunculi. Greed was happy to have sacrificed himself for his friends and thanks them. Edward was visibly horrified when Greed sacrificed himself to salvage Father and landed the terminal blow against Begetter as revenge.
Ling Yao
At first, Ed and Al establish Ling starved and fed him. They managed to talk about alchemy and alkahestry just when Ling demanded they tell him information regarding the philosopher'due south stone, they resisted which caused him to send Lan fan and Fu to attack them. Subsequently, he frequently stuck by them, trying to receive data most immortality. While Ed was initially annoyed by him, the two were oftentimes worked together with such equally luring the homunculus out (past luring out Scar) and fighting against Gluttony and subsequently Envy (inside Gluttony's breadbasket) the two quickly bonded. Ed became worried and frequently chosen out to Ling when Greed took over. Eventually, every bit Greed and Ling worked together, Ed and Ling began to converse more than, condign friends every bit they sought to terminate Father and though the two bickered, the two as well adult a begrudging respect for the others' abilities and accept since adult a strong bond.
Pinako Rockbell
Pinako, Winry's grandmother was the i to look subsequently the brothers when their mother passed away. Ed and Al refer to her equally Granny (at least when Ed's not arguing with her), same every bit Winry. Ed tends to argue or banter with Pinako a lot, simply she still cares a great bargain for him and Al like her own grandchildren.
Abilities
Despite Edward's small stature and young age, he is a remarkable combatant. Having apprenticed under Izumi Curtis, Ed was taught to condition his body through regular workouts and sparring as function of her philosophy, "to railroad train the spirit, showtime railroad train the body." Every bit such, his slight frame belies a compactly muscular build that, in add-on to his naturally high free energy level and endurance, fuels his considerable strength and agility which allows him to throw people much bigger than he is. Due to Izumi's Spartan training, Edward has become a particularly competent mitt-to-hand fighter, able to hold his ain against armed opponents and even skilled martial arts practitioners. Besides that, his steel right arm and left leg broaden his fighting strength past adding to his defensive and offensive capabilities too equally his speed - after he is refitted with a lighter, cold-climate automail in Chapter seventy of the manga.
Edward using alchemy without a transmutation circle. Transmuting part of his Automail Arm into a Sword.
As suggested by his unprecedented acceptance into the State Alchemist program at such a remarkably young age, Edward Elric is an alchemical prodigy of genius level intellect. From early childhood, he displayed proficiency for alchemy, acquiring self-taught alchemy skills and comprehension from the advanced literature in his father'south abandoned study at an historic period that shocked fifty-fifty his mother. Having incorporated alchemy into his life during his developmental stages, Edward sees the world alchemically and is, therefore, able to solve complicated codes, puzzles, and mysteries much more easily than normal. He has also shown himself to exist uncommonly adept at chemical science and reasonably competent with biology; indeed even his preparations for the failed attempt to resurrect his female parent were indicative of these. Edward'due south most-encyclopedic knowledge of alchemical theory is astounding and contributed to his incredible success with emergency Soul Binding experimentation. He shows an uncanny level of focus that allows him to effectively close out everything from his surround and devote all of his considerable mental ability to whatever problem demands his attention, especially in the case of books.
Edward turns himself into a humanoid Philosopher's Stone
Edward'southward skill with abracadabra was then nifty that he was able to plow himself into a humanoid Philosopher's Rock stone in order to force his mode into Pride, and then revert himself back to normal immediately later. While in his Philosopher'south Stone form, he was able to destroy Pride's Philosopher's Stone from the within, reverting Pride to his pure form.
Gainsay Alchemy
As a issue of having passed through The Gate and witnessing the Truth, Edward became i of the few alchemists who does not require a fatigued Transmutation Circle to perform alchemical transmutations. Past merely touching his palms together, he creates an energy apportionment with his arms and transmutes by using his own will equally a substitute for the necessary runes. This remarkable talent makes his transmutations both instantaneous and incredibly versatile, allowing him to utilise alchemy to its fullest potential in direct combat. In the 2003 anime, Edward was initially unaware of his new talent and continued to draw transmutation circles when performing alchemy, just after he accidentally used this ability to heat water to comfort the pregnant Gracia Hughes, he ended up using information technology regularly. In the 2003 anime, his skill with transmutation increased to the bespeak he could transform his automail arm into a functional gatling gun for boxing, as seen during his fight with Sloth.
With this quick fashion, Edward becomes a master of his surroundings and uses the substances therein to supplement his physical prowess in battle - creating behemothic earthen easily to lift objects, columns of stone to gain himself the college ground and ogre-faced battering rams with which to strike opponents. Ed as well specializes in transmuting weapons with which to practice battle and often crafts menacing-looking swords and ostentatious lances when necessary, but his primary weapon is his automail right arm, whose forearm plating he transmutes into diverse blades.
Of course, the true genius of Edward Elric's combat alchemy lies in his aptitude for incorporating the alchemy styles of others into his own after merely having once seen them in action, which makes him very adaptable to diverse situations. And then far, he has adapted Scar's use of the deconstruction stage of abracadabra, Alex Louis Armstrong'due south gauntlets and rock spikes also as Greed'southward carbon armor hardening into his combat repertoire.
Edward loses his power to perform alchemy after using his Gate Of Truth equally the cost in social club to bring Alphonse back, though he notwithstanding retains his knowledge of abracadabra, full of the truth of this background.
Trivia
Edward's name means "rich guard", derived from the Old English elements ead "wealth, fortune" and weard "baby-sit".
As a State Alchemist, Edward technically held the rank of "Major".
Though Edward is ambidextrous in combat, he writes with his left hand, likely due to the fact that his right is artificial.
Edward greatly dislikes milk, either for its sense of taste, the fact that it is "an opaque, white liquid secreted by a cow" or both. He does, however, greatly enjoy stew and marvels that something comprised mainly of milk can gustation so good. It is often joked well-nigh in both the manga and the anime the reason he is and then curt is because he refuses to drink milk. Incidentally, Hiromu Arakawa grew upward on a dairy farm as a child.
Incidentally, Romi Paku is the seiyuu for Switzerland in Axis Powers - Hetalia. Switzerland is the brother of Liechtenstein, who is voiced by Rie Kugumiya, the seiyuu for Alphonse.
She is too the seiyuu for Bleach's Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Shaman King's Tao Ren—both characters who, similar to Edward, are short for their ages and lose their temper whenever someone mentions it. She also voices Ken Ichijouji from Digimon Adventure 02, similar Ken is Edward a acknowledged immature genius with a close relationship with his brother, and has a soft spot for kids which inspires Edward to overstep his duties as a state alchemist and fabricated Ichijouji go a detective specializing in finding missing children.
Ed and Roy were referenced in episode 19 of Lucky Star along with two
Roy and Ed equally seen in Lucky Star
characters from Phoenix Wright.
In all versions of the storyline (manga, 2009 and 2003 anime), Ed loses his power to perform alchemy at the cease of the series (albeit in different ways).
All versions besides end with Ed on a train, however having some kind of automail and being in peace with what happened.
Ed keeps at least one automail limb at the finish of each continuity.
In both adaptations of the anime, Edward'southward atheism (which is unremarkably seen through dialogue in the manga both in English and Japanese) is removed from the English language dubs of both anime adaptations. Edward's disbelief still remains the same in the Japanese versions of both shows.
MANGA AND 2009 SERIES
In the book 2 extras of the manga, Ed is asked how tall he really was. He replied that he was 165 cm (well-nigh 5'five") tall. However, this top besides included his elevator shoes and pilus antenna - his truthful height at the time was 141 cm (near 4'8"). By Affiliate 84, he is shown to be taller than Winry, implying that he has at to the lowest degree attained his 165 cm stature.
Though automail has its advantages, Ed is fully aware of its disadvantages besides. When there is a severe alter in the barometric pressure level, the joints of his left leg and correct arm begin to ache. Additionally, it is speculated past Dominic LeCoulte that the weight of his earlier automail limbs was taxing his slight frame and contributing to his stunted growth; while this theory is unproven, Edward did non undergo any major growth spurts afterwards his prostheses were swapped for lighter models, although he is seen with substantial growth after he regains his original (organic) arm and leg in the epilogue of the 2009 anime.
As an avid traveler, Edward codes his ain alchemy research notes in the guise of a travelogue. They are so well coded that not even his brother Alphonse tin decipher them.
Edward wears plain, unpatterned boxers, which are depicted as being light blue in the 2009 anime serial.
Edward is - every bit a direct descendant of Van Hohenheim - close blood kin to Father and all the vii Homunculi (though King Bradley can be a slight exception, as he is a man-based Homunculus only withal still shares the close blood kin to Edward like the others). Additionally, Arakawa has jokingly confirmed that, in the manga, Edward (along with Alphonse) is technically uncle to the 7 Homunculi, as he relates to them by claret.
Due to his popularity, Edward won "Favorite Male person Character" in the Twenty-sixth Annual Animage Readers' Poll.
Edward has consistently been voted the series' most popular grapheme in fan polls.
The new Elric family photo bears a resemblance to the old Elric family photo taken with Van Hohenheim, Ed, Al, and Trisha, with Ed replacing Hohenheim (with a grin this time) and Winry replacing Trisha. Alphonse and May Chang are add-ins in the photograph, as are and Garfiel and Paninya at least in the anime.
Edward is one of only iii people to have unmarried-handedly dealt a killing accident to a Homunculus (the other ii being Roy Mustang and Scar), coincidentally defeating the Homunculus Pride when he himself has been so prideful throughout the serial.
His father, Hohenheim, is the merely person who was able to make Edward cry in the whole of the serial, disregarding his babyhood (wherein he felt grief over losing his brother after Human Transmutation).
Edward has several grapheme theme songs from Brotherhood albums, including: "Yume no Genseki", which ways 'dream of a permanent home', sung by his seiyu Romi Park; "Conclusion", also sung by Park; and "Kurenai Tsuki" which means 'red moon', sung past Park and the seiyu of Alphonse Elric, Rie Kugimiya.
Edward is the simply known non-chimera character to ever be a fellow member of Greed'southward gang (at least without sharing a torso with Greed).
In multiple episodes that show Edward eating a sandwich, the sandwiches have no crust. Implying he might non like crusts on sandwiches.
Ed's original arm returning brings upward some questions.
Despite his fretfulness, blood vessels and tendons to it having long-since beem sealed off, when he gets information technology back, it functions without a problem.
His automail shoulder was fused together with information technology, something illogical even for alchemy.
Also the atrophying of the muscles, the blood in that arm would accept coagulated after all this time, unless Truth kept it in stasis so it was still fresh.
Ed—along with Alphonse—is the only human being character in the series to encounter all 8 homunculi at least once.
