1. It's finished. Al?
Copy !req
2. It's okay. This is perfect.
Copy !req
3. Let's do it.
Copy !req
4. Alchemy.
Copy !req
5. It is the scientific technique
of understanding the structure of matter,
Copy !req
6. decomposing it,
and then reconstructing it.
Copy !req
7. If performed skillfully, it is even
possible to create gold out of lead.
Copy !req
8. However, as it is a science, there are
some natural principles in place.
Copy !req
9. Only one thing can be created
from something else of a certain mass.
Copy !req
10. This is the Principle
of Equivalent Exchange.

Younger Brother - 10
Copy !req
13. What? What's the matter?
Copy !req
14. Hold on, Winry!
Copy !req
15. The Principle of Equivalent Exchange says
that, in order to obtain something,
Copy !req
16. something else of equal value is required.
Copy !req
17. Is that some kind of maxim?
Copy !req
18. Man cannot obtain anything
without sacrificing something?
Copy !req
19. Al... Al! Alphonse!
Copy !req
20. Damn it! I'm not about to let this happen!
Copy !req
21. This wasn't... This wasn't supposed to...
Copy !req
22. Damn it!
Copy !req
23. He's been taken away!
Copy !req
24. Mom...?
Copy !req
25. Oh, I'm so hungry.
Copy !req
26. If only there was some grass growing here,
I could change it into bread.
Copy !req
27. Al? Al? Where are you?
Copy !req
28. Al? Al?
Copy !req
29. Right here!
Copy !req
30. Help me, brother.
Copy !req
31. You got buried again?
Copy !req
32. Do that one more time
and I'm leaving you behind!
Copy !req
33. - But—
- Don't "but" me!
Copy !req
34. Al...!
Copy !req
35. Older Brother - 15
Younger Brother - 14
Copy !req
36. - Wait up, Al!
- I'm not waiting!
Copy !req
37. - Stop!
- I'm not stopping!
Copy !req
38. - Straighten up!
- I won't get buried again!
Copy !req
39. THOSE WHO CHALLENGE THE SUN
Copy !req
40. Brother, are you okay?
Copy !req
41. It's all your fault for not stopping.
Copy !req
42. TOWN OF LIORE
Copy !req
43. I don't think anyone would stop
if they were told to do so like you did.
Copy !req
44. Oh, so that's it?
Copy !req
45. I'm so thirsty.
Copy !req
46. Water?
Copy !req
47. Water!
Copy !req
48. Brother!
Copy !req
49. Water! Water! Water!
Water! Water! Water! Water!
Copy !req
50. This is what I've been smelling all along?
Copy !req
51. Brother!
Copy !req
52. - Blood?
- More like blood-red wine.
Copy !req
53. Hey, you! This is off-limits to kids,
you know!
Copy !req
54. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Copy !req
55. As travelers, you wouldn't have known
that there was wine coming out of there.
Copy !req
56. Wow! Look at that suit of armor!
Copy !req
57. The town of Liore here
must be pretty prosperous, huh?
Copy !req
58. It's huge! Having a wine fountain and all.
Copy !req
59. Yeah, you might say that.
Oh, whoops, gotta do this...
Copy !req
60. All of God's children
who live upon this land,
Copy !req
61. pray in faith that ye may be saved.
Copy !req
62. The Sun God Leto illuminates
thy footsteps.
Copy !req
63. What's the deal?
Copy !req
64. - God, who watches over thee...
- A religious broadcast?
Copy !req
65. As far as I'm concerned,
Copy !req
66. I should be the one asking
"What's the deal?" to you guys.
Copy !req
67. I am Leto's representative
and thy father.
Copy !req
68. Are you guys street performers
or something?
Copy !req
69. Now look here, old man!
Where did you get that idea?
Copy !req
70. If you're not performers,
then what have you come all this way for?
Copy !req
71. Oh, there's something we're looking for.
Copy !req
72. So, what's the story with this broadcast?
Copy !req
73. That's Cornello-sama.
Copy !req
74. Yeah, and, like, who is he?
Copy !req
75. You don't know the representative
of the Sun God Leto?
Copy !req
76. No, so who is he?
Copy !req
77. He's Cornello-sama!
He is a performer of miracles!
Copy !req
78. It's because of him that this forsaken
town in the middle of the desert
Copy !req
79. has become as prosperous as it is!
Copy !req
80. He really is an incredible man!
Copy !req
81. Yeah! The things that man does
are truly miraculous!
Copy !req
82. I'm not all that interested in religion.
Copy !req
83. - Shall we get going, Al?
- Sure.
Copy !req
84. Now you've done it, sir!
Copy !req
85. This is what happens when you go around
wearing such an outfit!
Copy !req
86. Sorry, sorry! I'll fix it right away.
Copy !req
87. Fix it?
Copy !req
88. I'm so sorry!
Copy !req
89. - Brother, I'll do it.
- Okay.
Copy !req
90. - What's that?
- It's a transmutation circle.
Copy !req
91. All right.
Copy !req
92. TRANSMUTATION CIRCLE
Copy !req
93. Okay, here goes!
Copy !req
94. As the representative of Leto,
I pour out my love unto thee always.
Copy !req
95. This is a surprise!
Copy !req
96. You guys can also perform miraculous acts?
Copy !req
97. What do you mean by that?
Copy !req
98. We're alchemists.
Copy !req
99. We're the Elric brothers.
Our reputation is fairly widespread.
Copy !req
100. Alchemists?
Copy !req
101. Then it wasn't a miracle?
Copy !req
102. I've never heard of any alchemists
around these parts.
Copy !req
103. He's the Fullmetal Alchemist,
Edward Elric.
Copy !req
104. You're famous around East City.
Copy !req
105. Said to be an alchemist prodigy.
Copy !req
106. Incredible!
Copy !req
107. So that's it!
Copy !req
108. Because you wear all this armor, you've
gotten the nickname "Fullmetal," huh?
Copy !req
109. Are you really that famous? Yeah?
Copy !req
110. Not me.
Copy !req
111. - Huh?
- You mean the little guy there?
Copy !req
112. Who are you calling a bean sprout,
too tiny to even notice?
Copy !req
113. Nobody called you that!
Copy !req
114. Things sure are bustling today!
Copy !req
115. Oh, Rose!
Copy !req
116. My, I haven't seen these folks around.
Copy !req
117. I'm Alphonse Elric.
Copy !req
118. And I'm the Fullmetal Alchemist,
his older brother, Edward Elric.
Copy !req
119. Oh, my, you're the older brother?
Copy !req
120. Now, now...
Copy !req
121. Rose, are you already done shopping
for your offering?
Copy !req
122. Yes.
Copy !req
123. In that case, take these two along
with you to the Church of Leto.
Copy !req
124. They say they're looking for something
so that they can ask for God's grace.
Copy !req
125. Oh, but we don't.
Copy !req
126. It's all right.
There are pilgrim's quarters there too.
Copy !req
127. Please, reside there.
Copy !req
128. Yeah, but...
Copy !req
129. Really? In that case,
let's take them up on it, okay, Al?
Copy !req
130. Okay.
Copy !req
131. Rose sure has gotten
a lot more cheerful, huh?
Copy !req
132. Yeah. That's thanks to the minister.
Copy !req
133. Especially after what happened.
Copy !req
134. Al...
Copy !req
135. That woman at the shop earlier,
have we ever seen her before?
Copy !req
136. It'll be okay!
Copy !req
137. I'm sure you'll find what it is
you're looking for right away.
Copy !req
138. And what's more...
Copy !req
139. If you pray, I'm sure you'll grow taller!
Copy !req
140. Hey, what did you say?
Copy !req
141. - I'm sorry!
- Don't make fun of me!
Copy !req
142. - Brother!
- Hey!
Copy !req
143. Pray in faith that thy entreaties
may be accorded thee.
Copy !req
144. May all of his children receive the grace
of his light, both today and tomorrow.
Copy !req
145. Nicely done, Minister.
Copy !req
146. Thank you so much
for your favorable words today.
Copy !req
147. Minister...
Copy !req
148. Ah, Rose.
Copy !req
149. May I put some travelers up
in the pilgrim's quarters?
Copy !req
150. You seem to do all you can each day
for God, huh?
Copy !req
151. Yes. I serve the Lord Leto always.
That's why...
Copy !req
152. God sees your good work.
Copy !req
153. The reason your miracle has not occurred
Copy !req
154. is because there hasn't
been enough time for it to.
Copy !req
155. Right.
Copy !req
156. Huh? You're saying that's the grave
of Rose-san's beloved?
Copy !req
157. Without anyone to rely on and having lost
her boyfriend in an accident,
Copy !req
158. Rose-san clings
to Minister Cornello's teachings.
Copy !req
159. When, all the while, there's no way
the dead can come back to life.
Copy !req
160. They do appear to come back.
Copy !req
161. As the living are given an immortal soul,
Copy !req
162. the dead are given resurrection.
Copy !req
163. The testament is in miracles, they say.
Copy !req
164. Sounds fishy.
Copy !req
165. What do you think?
Copy !req
166. It's apparent to me that metamorphic
reaction must be alchemy.
Copy !req
167. It sure is. But still, the laws—
Copy !req
168. Oh, it's you two!
Copy !req
169. What do you think
about Cornello-sama's miracles?
Copy !req
170. Any way you look at it, that's alchemy.
Copy !req
171. This Cornello guy
is just a swindling bastard.
Copy !req
172. That hasn't been entirely established.
We just know that he's ignoring the laws.
Copy !req
173. The laws?
Copy !req
174. Alchemy isn't the creation of something
out of nothing.
Copy !req
175. It's a scientific technique,
which obeys the laws of nature.
Copy !req
176. You can only get something out
of another thing of the same mass.
Copy !req
177. It's like how I could only make a radio
that was the same size as before.
Copy !req
178. I couldn't make it a bigger radio,
Copy !req
179. or change it into a piece of paper,
a tree, or something else.
Copy !req
180. It's how, if you want to obtain something,
you need something of equal value.
Copy !req
181. But the old guy up there
is disregarding that.
Copy !req
182. It's like I've been saying.
They're miracles!
Copy !req
183. Can you bring about such a miracle
using alchemy?
Copy !req
184. And Cain will soon be...
Copy !req
185. The Elric brothers?
Copy !req
186. I heard that the older brother received
the title of State Alchemist
Copy !req
187. when he was twelve.
Copy !req
188. "The Fullmetal Alchemist," he's called.
Copy !req
189. That little brat?
Copy !req
190. He's a dog of the military.
Copy !req
191. The military has cast their gaze
upon our bountiful town here
Copy !req
192. and plans to intervene.
Copy !req
193. The people, my children, must be saved.
Copy !req
194. Cray...
Copy !req
195. I will carry out the will of God.
Copy !req
196. I am grateful to you for bringing this
to my attention.
Copy !req
197. Just having that boy here
is troubling, huh?
Copy !req
198. There is still one other way,
just in case.
Copy !req
199. Just by serving God so dutifully,
Copy !req
200. someone who is dead will come
back to life at some point?
Copy !req
201. Yes, absolutely.
Copy !req
202. Water, 35 liters, carbon, 20 kilograms,
Copy !req
203. ammonia, 4 liters, lime, 1.5 kilograms,
Copy !req
204. phosphorus, 800 grams, salt, 250 grams,
saltpeter, 100 grams, sulfur, 80 grams,
Copy !req
205. fluorine, 7.5 grams,
iron, 5 grams, silicon, 3 grams,
Copy !req
206. and a small amount of 15 other elements.
Copy !req
207. What's that?
Copy !req
208. That is the material makeup
of a single average adult human body,
Copy !req
209. if you were to calculate it.
Copy !req
210. Even though, through science,
we are able to know this much,
Copy !req
211. there has never been
a successful reported case
Copy !req
212. of anyone actually transmuting a human.
Copy !req
213. Scientists have been researching
what is missing for several centuries now.
Copy !req
214. Their efforts are more worthwhile
than just praying
Copy !req
215. and waiting around, wouldn't you say?
Copy !req
216. By the way, all of these ingredients
can be bought at the market
Copy !req
217. with the spare change
any child might have.
Copy !req
218. Humans can be made for cheap, you see.
Copy !req
219. People aren't things!
Would you blaspheme God?
Copy !req
220. Alchemists are scientists,
Copy !req
221. so God is something ambiguous
that we don't believe in.
Copy !req
222. It's ironic since we're the ones
who are closest to being gods.
Copy !req
223. You are not a god!
Copy !req
224. The sun isn't a god either.
It's just a very hot mass of stuff.
Copy !req
225. If you get too close to the sun,
all you do is burn up.
Copy !req
226. Geez, brother, you're just getting
Rose-san upset at you—
Copy !req
227. Don't worry. Your brother will
be coming with you soon.
Copy !req
228. Disciple Cray! What are you doing?
Copy !req
229. They are the enemies of God!
Copy !req
230. All of this is God's will!
Copy !req
231. Ah, you startled me!
Copy !req
232. My head!
Copy !req
233. Strike!
Copy !req
234. What's going on here? His head...
Copy !req
235. It's nothing.
Copy !req
236. This is how I am.
Copy !req
237. There's nothing inside him!
Copy !req
238. You could call this the punishment I got
for setting foot on holy ground,
Copy !req
239. which as a person, I should never
have encroached upon.
Copy !req
240. Both me and my brother.
Copy !req
241. Rose!
Copy !req
242. It's true!
It's just like the minister said!
Copy !req
243. Those two are enemies of God!
Copy !req
244. No one ever told us about this place.
Copy !req
245. Rose!
Copy !req
246. How good of you to bring them here, Rose.
Copy !req
247. A State Alchemist, huh? I had a feeling
you would come here sooner or later.
Copy !req
248. Is that because you're a swindler
who deceives his believers? Or instead...
Copy !req
249. is it because you possess
the Philosopher's Stone?
Copy !req
250. You mean this?
Copy !req
251. Transmuting without drawing
any transmutation circles
Copy !req
252. while disregarding
the Law of Equivalent Exchange...
Copy !req
253. There can be only one answer.
Copy !req
254. Quite so.
Copy !req
255. The enchanted sorcery amplifier,
said to exist only in legend,
Copy !req
256. the Philosopher's Stone!
Copy !req
257. I've been hunting for that.
Copy !req
258. I'll get straight to the point.
Hand over the Philosopher's Stone.
Copy !req
259. Hand it over and I won't say a thing
to the people in town.
Copy !req
260. You mean to deprive me of this?
Copy !req
261. If my miracles cease,
what would happen to this town?
Copy !req
262. Right, Rose?
Copy !req
263. Rose! That guy is just
a third-rate con man!
Copy !req
264. I returned life to this town,
Copy !req
265. just as it was about to crumble
from internal strife.
Copy !req
266. I created water, turned it into wine,
Copy !req
267. built buildings,
and even gave money to the people.
Copy !req
268. I am the representative of God!
Copy !req
269. Do you intend to deprive the people
of this city of their God?
Copy !req
270. Is that how absolute the orders
of the military are?
Copy !req
271. - I don't care about any military orders!
- What?
Copy !req
272. I need... We need that thing!
Copy !req
273. Why?
Copy !req
274. Why, even knowing it will rob us of hope,
are you still after it?
Copy !req
275. - Rose, we're going to—
- It's no use.
Copy !req
276. Now then, why don't we have a look
at the power of the Philosopher's Stone?
Copy !req
277. Al!
Copy !req
278. Your armor has turned against you, huh?
Copy !req
279. You can't very well draw a transmutation
circle in that sand, either.
Copy !req
280. Using the Philosopher's Stone,
you synthesized a kindred life-form?
Copy !req
281. Yes, a chimera!
Copy !req
282. It looks like taking him on barehanded
Copy !req
283. is going to be tough!
Copy !req
284. What? You transmuted without using
a transmutation circle?
Copy !req
285. Go get him!
Copy !req
286. How do you like that?
Copy !req
287. What do you call that?
Copy !req
288. You're not getting away!
Copy !req
289. What's the matter, you bastard?
Get yourself a good taste!
Copy !req
290. Gluttony, that boy...
Copy !req
291. Impossible! How could his claws
not tear through your leg
Copy !req
292. or his fangs crush your arm?
Copy !req
293. Don't tell me you're...?
Copy !req
294. Yeah, that's right.
Copy !req
295. Rose, take a good look.
Copy !req
296. This is the body of one who performs
a human transmutation...
Copy !req
297. of one who encroaches
upon God or whoever's territory.
Copy !req
298. This is what happens
to such transgressors!
Copy !req
299. A mechanical arm and leg? Automail?
Copy !req
300. You performed human transmutation?
Copy !req
301. You have committed
that which is most sanctioned!
Copy !req
302. You've had your bodies taken over
to the other side!
Copy !req
303. If you get too close to the sun,
all you do is burn up.
Copy !req
304. So this is why you have
the title "Fullmetal"!
Copy !req
305. The Fullmetal Alchemist!
Copy !req
306. Fullmetal Alchemist...
Copy !req
307. Episode 2: "Body of the Sanctioned."
Copy !req
308. A false Philosopher's Stone...
Copy !req
309. It is sure to bring with it false peace
and false promises.
Copy !req
310. However, the tears it brings
are not false.
Copy !req
