1. Alchemy is the science of
understanding, decomposing,
Copy !req
2. and reconstructing matter.
Copy !req
3. However, it is not an all-powerful art.
Copy !req
4. It is impossible to create
something out of nothing.
Copy !req
5. If one wishes to obtain something,
Copy !req
6. something of equal value must be paid.
Copy !req
7. This equivalent exchange
is the basis of alchemy.
Copy !req
8. Alchemists have a taboo,
and it is human transmutation.
Copy !req
9. It is that which no one must commit.
Copy !req
10. I still have too long a life ahead
Copy !req
11. to get rid of these feelings, right?
Copy !req
12. I want to try doing over
Copy !req
13. the things I've left undone
Copy !req
14. I thought I was running after
something carried over from my dreams
Copy !req
15. Yet I'm stumbling into people
on this narrow, winding road
Copy !req
16. It's not like I want to go back
to the way things were back then
Copy !req
17. I'm just searching for the sky
I've been losing
Copy !req
18. Here's hoping you'll understand
Copy !req
19. Stop making that sad face
as though you were a victim
Copy !req
20. Sins don't end with tears,
Copy !req
21. you have to carry the pain forever
Copy !req
22. Who am I waiting for, in this maze of emotions
Copy !req
23. with no way out in sight?
Copy !req
24. I want to purge myself more simply,
Copy !req
25. as if writing in a blank notebook
Copy !req
26. What is it I want to escape from?
Copy !req
27. ...is it reality?
Copy !req
28. It makes me want to scream that we're alive
Copy !req
29. for things to come true. Can you hear me?
Copy !req
30. I can't put up with playing it safe
Copy !req
31. ...I've got nowhere to go home to
Copy !req
32. I'm always grateful for kindness
Copy !req
33. That's why I want to grow stronger
Copy !req
34. I even welcome this pain
Copy !req
35. for the things I miss
Copy !req
36. God's children, who live
upon this land, pray in faith,
Copy !req
37. and ye shall be saved.
Copy !req
38. - The Sun God Leto illuminates thy footsteps.
- You guys street performers or something?
Copy !req
39. - Behold, the Lord descends from his throne,
- Where do you get the
idea we're street performers?!
Copy !req
40. - and saves thee from all thy sins.
- You're not, then?
- Thanks for lunch.
Copy !req
41. - I am the Emissary of...
- Ah! Hey, excuse me, sir!
Copy !req
42. Sorry, sorry. We'll fix it.
Copy !req
43. Y-You'll fix it?
Copy !req
44. Yeah, just watch.
Copy !req
45. Okay, here goes!
Copy !req
46. Does that take care of it?
Copy !req
47. This is a surprise!
You guys can perform miraculous works?!
Copy !req
48. What do you mean by that?
Copy !req
49. We're alchemists.
Copy !req
50. I've never seen alchemy before.
Copy !req
51. Ever heard of the Elric brothers?
Copy !req
52. Elric?
Copy !req
53. Yeah! I've heard that name.
Copy !req
54. The Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric.
Copy !req
55. Wow, so you're the gifted
alchemist we've heard about?
Copy !req
56. Indeed, with this armor you're wearing,
your second name would be "Fullmetal," huh?
Copy !req
57. Um, not me.
Copy !req
58. Eh? The pipsqueak over there?
Copy !req
59. Who's a tiny bean sprout?!
Copy !req
60. - Pray in faith, and thy
entreaties shall be accorded thee...
- So, what's with this broadcast?
Copy !req
61. T-That's Father Cornello.
Copy !req
62. He appeared in this town several years ago,
Copy !req
63. and preached to us the ways of God.
Copy !req
64. He gives immortality to the living,
and resurrection to the dead.
Copy !req
65. His miraculous works are proof of it.
Copy !req
66. "Resurrection to the dead," eh? Sounds fishy.
Copy !req
67. - Father Cornello!
- Show us your miraculous works!
Copy !req
68. Is that it? What do you think?
Copy !req
69. No two ways about it,
that metamorphic reaction is alchemy.
Copy !req
70. But he's ignoring equivalent exchange.
Copy !req
71. The law is that only one volume of mass
can come from the same volume of mass.
Copy !req
72. He's changing vegetable into mineral, too.
Copy !req
73. Brother, could it be...
Copy !req
74. Yeah, it could be.
Copy !req
75. Bingo!
Copy !req
76. O God, please grant me my wish.
Copy !req
77. Please bring him...
Copy !req
78. Huh, so this is Leto, is it?
Copy !req
79. Are you interested in Letoism?
Copy !req
80. No, unfortunately, I'm areligious.
Copy !req
81. Well, that won't do.
To believe in and worship God,
Copy !req
82. and live with gratitude and hope...
It's such a marvelous thing.
Copy !req
83. If you believe,
Copy !req
84. I'm sure you will grow taller.
Copy !req
85. Hey, what was that for?!
Copy !req
86. She didn't mean any harm.
Copy !req
87. "Resurrection to the dead."
Do you honestly believe that?
Copy !req
88. Yes.
Copy !req
89. Water, 35 liters; carbon, 20 kilograms;
Copy !req
90. ammonia, 4 liters; lime, 1.5 kilograms;
Copy !req
91. phosphorus, 800 grams; salt, 250 grams;
Copy !req
92. saltpeter, 100 grams, and various other stuff.
Copy !req
93. Huh?
Copy !req
94. That's the material makeup of a
human body, calculated for one adult.
Copy !req
95. With our science now, we know
that much, but there has never been
Copy !req
96. one reported case of a successful
human transmutation actually taking place.
Copy !req
97. Are you telling me that what can't be done
by science, can be done through prayer?!
Copy !req
98. Pray in faith, and thy
entreaties shall be accorded thee.
Copy !req
99. Incidentally, if you go to the market,
Copy !req
100. you can buy all of these components
with the change a small child might carry.
Copy !req
101. Humans can be made cheap.
Copy !req
102. People aren't things!
Your words are blasphemy against the Creator!
Copy !req
103. You're going to incur Heaven's wrath.
Copy !req
104. Alchemists are scientists, you see.
Copy !req
105. We don't believe in creators, and God, and such.
Copy !req
106. We lay bare the creative
principles of this world,
Copy !req
107. and pursue truth.
Copy !req
108. It's ironic that we scientists,
who do not need God,
Copy !req
109. are in a certain sense the
closest ones to being gods.
Copy !req
110. Are you saying you're on the
same level as God? Such hubris!
Copy !req
111. Hubris, huh?
Copy !req
112. Now that you mention it,
it was in some myth somewhere.
Copy !req
113. There was a hero, who got too
close to the sun, and his wings,
Copy !req
114. made of hardened wax, were torn off,
and he was thrust down to earth.
Copy !req
115. Brother...
Copy !req
116. Miss, do you think that
Leto will even save a scientist,
Copy !req
117. such as myself, who thinks what I just said?
Copy !req
118. Of course. He will accept
your repentance at any time.
Copy !req
119. Father, there are some
people here who wish to see you.
Copy !req
120. A child, and someone in a suit of armor.
Copy !req
121. They gave their names as the Elric brothers.
Copy !req
122. I'm busy. Have them leave... no, wait.
Did you say the Elric brothers?
Copy !req
123. Yes, that's what they called themselves.
Copy !req
124. This is bad. He's the
Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric.
Copy !req
125. The man in the armor?
Copy !req
126. Yeah, probably.
Copy !req
127. What would a State Alchemist be doing here?
Copy !req
128. Don't tell me they know about our plan.
Copy !req
129. Dog of the Military.
Looks like your nose is pretty sharp.
Copy !req
130. This way, please.
Copy !req
131. The Father is quite busy,
and cannot make very much time,
Copy !req
132. but you are in luck.
Copy !req
133. Sorry. We'll keep this as brief as we can.
Copy !req
134. Yes, indeed.
Copy !req
135. Let's bring an end to this quickly.
Copy !req
136. Assistant Pastor, what are you doing?
Copy !req
137. Rose, these people are heathens,
who seek to ensnare the Father.
Copy !req
138. They are wicked.
Copy !req
139. Oh, no!
Copy !req
140. Like you said, let's end this quickly!
Copy !req
141. Strike!
Copy !req
142. Such a racket!
Copy !req
143. Welcome to our sacred order,
Fullmetal Alchemist.
Copy !req
144. Father Cornello...
Copy !req
145. It looks like we had some
rather disrespectful fellows here.
Copy !req
146. I apologize for their rudeness.
Copy !req
147. It's no apology, looking
down on us from up there.
Copy !req
148. Have you come to receive our doctrine?
Copy !req
149. I would like you to
teach it to me, by all means.
Copy !req
150. Like how you use cheap
alchemy to deceive your believers.
Copy !req
151. Now, what could you mean by that?
Copy !req
152. I won't have you equating my
miraculous works with alchemy.
Copy !req
153. What do you say? Can alchemy bring this about?
Copy !req
154. That's the thing about it.
Copy !req
155. How is it that you're able to
transmute, while ignoring the laws?
Copy !req
156. Like I said, it isn't alchemy.
Copy !req
157. That's when I started thinking,
Copy !req
158. if he were an alchemist, using
an enchanted amplifier of legend,
Copy !req
159. said to be able to make the impossible
possible, then maybe he could do that.
Copy !req
160. You mean...
Copy !req
161. Yes, exactly. The Philosopher's Stone.
Copy !req
162. That's what that ring of yours is, isn't it?
Copy !req
163. I've been looking for that.
Copy !req
164. This is just an ordinary ring.
Copy !req
165. I have been permitted by God
to perform miraculous works.
Copy !req
166. Are you still dissembling?
Copy !req
167. It looks like I'm just going to have
to grab you, and beat it out of you.
Copy !req
168. You appear to be quite the incorrigible heathen.
Copy !req
169. Rose...
Copy !req
170. Y-Yes?
Copy !req
171. Pick up that gun lying on the floor there.
Copy !req
172. Huh? Okay.
Copy !req
173. Now shoot the Fullmetal Alchemist with it.
Copy !req
174. No... I can't.
Copy !req
175. My word is God's word. This is the will of God.
Copy !req
176. Rose, shoot him.
Copy !req
177. What's the matter?
Copy !req
178. When you lost your
boyfriend in an accident last year,
Copy !req
179. who was it that saved you
from the very depths of despair?
Copy !req
180. You, Father Cornello.
Copy !req
181. That's right. I saved you.
And what did I promise you?
Copy !req
182. That you would bring him back to life!
Copy !req
183. Er, um, I'm not him!
Copy !req
184. I'm the Fullmetal Alchemist, dammit!
Copy !req
185. You mean, you're the one?!
Copy !req
186. I'm sorry. I have no choice but to do this.
Copy !req
187. He's a swindler.
Copy !req
188. You're wrong!
Copy !req
189. Father Cornello is going to bring
him back with his miraculous works!
Copy !req
190. Then shoot.
Copy !req
191. Al!
Copy !req
192. That will do. God is pleased.
Now, shoot the other one, too.
Copy !req
193. What an awful thing to make your believer do.
Copy !req
194. What?!
Copy !req
195. What's going on?
Copy !req
196. Nothing to it.
Copy !req
197. This is what's going on.
Copy !req
198. An empty suit of armor!
Copy !req
199. This is indeed proof that
these people are wicked!
Copy !req
200. They should be purged!
Copy !req
201. Is this the first time
you've ever seen a Chimera?
Copy !req
202. You even made this with
your Philosopher's Stone?
Copy !req
203. This could be trouble, taking him on unarmed.
Copy !req
204. No transmutation circle!
Copy !req
205. I guess the State Alchemist
title is not just for show, then.
Copy !req
206. However!
Copy !req
207. Well? How do you like the taste
of claws that can cut through iron?!
Copy !req
208. Gotcha!
Copy !req
209. Unfortunately for you, this was specially-made.
Copy !req
210. Bite him to death!
Copy !req
211. What's wrong, pussy? Get a good taste.
Copy !req
212. Your arm...
Copy !req
213. a brother who is just armor...
Copy !req
214. I get it. So that's what's going on.
Copy !req
215. Fullmetal Alchemist,
you went and did it, didn't you?
Copy !req
216. Come on down here, third-string!
Copy !req
217. Let me show you how outclassed you are!
Copy !req
218. Come on down here, third-string!
Copy !req
219. Let me show you how outclassed you are!
Copy !req
220. Rose, these people
Copy !req
221. have performed human transmutation,
Copy !req
222. the greatest taboo for any alchemist!
Copy !req
223. They tried to bring someone dead back to life.
Copy !req
224. The hero gets too close to
the sun, his wings are torn off,
Copy !req
225. and is thrust back to earth.
Copy !req
226. Oh, no...
Copy !req
227. This is what someone who trespasses
Copy !req
228. in God or whoever's domain looks like.
Copy !req
229. Rose, are you prepared to become like this?
Copy !req
230. Edward Elric, to think that you
became a State Alchemist like that!
Copy !req
231. It's laughable!
Copy !req
232. Shut up. You're just a third-rate phony
Copy !req
233. that can't do anything
without a Philosopher's Stone.
Copy !req
234. Father, we want you to hand
over the Stone before you get hurt.
Copy !req
235. Ridiculous! You fools, who
would tread upon God's domain!
Copy !req
236. This time, I will send you back to God for good!
Copy !req
237. Nah, God probably hates me, after all.
Copy !req
238. If I went there, I think he'd just turn me away.
Copy !req
239. Al!
Copy !req
240. What are you doing?! After them!
Copy !req
241. They are heathens who are
trying to harm the order! Seize them!
Copy !req
242. Stop!
Copy !req
243. Hey, boy, what are you
going to do, empty-handed?
Copy !req
244. Surrender, before you get hurt.
Copy !req
245. Don't get careless, just because he's a child!
Copy !req
246. Coming through!
Copy !req
247. Do you see now, Rose?
Copy !req
248. Cornello shot at us, even though you were there.
Copy !req
249. That was because you were...
Copy !req
250. Is it true what he said back there?
Copy !req
251. All we wanted to do was see
our mom's smiling face again.
Copy !req
252. But our transmutation failed.
Copy !req
253. It didn't even have a human form.
Copy !req
254. We were made to realize our mistake.
Copy !req
255. People do not come back
from the dead. Including our mom.
Copy !req
256. That's not true. I mean...
Copy !req
257. The basis of alchemy is equivalent exchange.
Copy !req
258. The price of our human
transmutation was enormous.
Copy !req
259. Brother's left leg, and my
whole body was taken away.
Copy !req
260. Do you see it?
Brother drew it with his own blood.
Copy !req
261. His left leg had been taken away.
He had to have been in pain.
Copy !req
262. But Brother transmuted my soul,
in exchange for his right arm,
Copy !req
263. and bonded me to this suit of armor.
Copy !req
264. I want to restore Brother's
body back to the way it was.
Copy !req
265. Brother wants to get me back to normal, too.
Copy !req
266. We might even lose our lives as a result.
Copy !req
267. That's the karmic nature of the path we chose.
Copy !req
268. But Father Cornello can...
Copy !req
269. Rose!
Copy !req
270. Father Cornello can do it,
even if you weren't able to.
Copy !req
271. He can!
Copy !req
272. Kid...
Copy !req
273. say your prayers!
Copy !req
274. Mister, let's speak frankly here.
Copy !req
275. I just want to know the secrets of that Stone.
Copy !req
276. Or should I request that
the military be called in,
Copy !req
277. to investigate the Stone?
Copy !req
278. Very well.
Copy !req
279. What are you trying to do
with the Philosopher's Stone?
Copy !req
280. If you have it, you don't need any
rinky-dink religious order, right?
Copy !req
281. The order would gladly
give their lives for my sake
Copy !req
282. and provides me with more believers!
Copy !req
283. They will be the ultimate legion,
not even afraid to die, just you watch!
Copy !req
284. In just a few more years,
I'm going to set out to rip this country apart,
Copy !req
285. using the Philosopher's Stone
and my idiotic believers!
Copy !req
286. I'll even share the leftovers with you!
Copy !req
287. What's so funny?
Copy !req
288. Like I said, you're third-string.
Copy !req
289. Y-You don't mean!
Copy !req
290. There are no miraculous works.
Copy !req
291. It was all done with the
power of the Philosopher's Stone.
Copy !req
292. Why, you!
Copy !req
293. When... when did you flip that switch?!
Copy !req
294. Right at the start.
Copy !req
295. It's all out of the bag now.
Copy !req
296. How could you do that?!
Copy !req
297. You little brat!
Copy !req
298. Too slow!
Copy !req
299. Like I said, you're outclassed.
Copy !req
300. I am without rival!
Copy !req
301. l-It's a rebound!
Copy !req
302. l-I'm not giving up yet!
Copy !req
303. I am... I am...
Copy !req
304. ...the Emissary of God!
Copy !req
305. My word is the word of God!
My fist is the fist of God!
Copy !req
306. Fist of God my foot!
Copy !req
307. If you want it that much, you can have it!
Copy !req
308. Shut up!
Copy !req
309. Let me see the Philosopher's Stone!
Copy !req
310. It broke. How can that be?
Copy !req
311. How does a Philosopher's Stone,
Copy !req
312. which is supposed to be
a perfect material, break?
Copy !req
313. l-I don't know.
I don't know anything about this!
Copy !req
314. S-Spare me! Please! I was wrong!
Copy !req
315. It's a fake?
Copy !req
316. I can't do anything without the Stone. Spare me!
Copy !req
317. We've come this far,
thinking we could finally get back...
Copy !req
318. and it's a fake.
Copy !req
319. U-Uh, what about me?
Copy !req
320. Go on, go wherever the hell you like!
Copy !req
321. Right!
Copy !req
322. What about the Philosopher's Stone?
Copy !req
323. It was just a big knock-off.
Copy !req
324. Oh.
Copy !req
325. I thought we were finally going
to get you your body back, too.
Copy !req
326. Give me the Philosopher's Stone!
Copy !req
327. Rose...
Copy !req
328. Like I said, it was just a big knock-off.
Copy !req
329. What's more, it broke all on its own.
Copy !req
330. Liar! You want to keep it
all for yourself, don't you?!
Copy !req
331. For your bodies... yeah,
and to use on your mother one more time.
Copy !req
332. Shut up!
Copy !req
333. Dead people do not come back to life! Ever!
Copy !req
334. Ever!
Copy !req
335. He said he would come back.
Copy !req
336. He said if I prayed, it would come true.
Copy !req
337. That a miracle would happen.
Copy !req
338. What am I supposed to
live my life clinging to now?!
Copy !req
339. Tell me!
Copy !req
340. Huh?!
Copy !req
341. You have to figure that out for yourself.
Copy !req
342. Stand up and walk. Move forward.
Copy !req
343. You've got two fine legs there, don't you?
Copy !req
344. You don't need to cling to anything.
Copy !req
345. - What's going on here?
- Send out thee Father!
Copy !req
346. - Have you been deceiving us?!
- Open up!
Copy !req
347. That kid has destroyed my ambitions...
Copy !req
348. Indeed, it's all ruined.
Copy !req
349. We should have just incited a little rebellion.
Copy !req
350. You!
Copy !req
351. Say, Lust, can I eat this old man?
Copy !req
352. No, Gluttony. If you eat him,
it will upset your stomach.
Copy !req
353. Everyone is treating me like a fool!
Copy !req
354. We're done with you.
Copy !req
355. And here things were getting heated up.
Copy !req
356. Now we'll have to start over
from the beginning again.
Copy !req
357. Father is going to be angry with us.
Copy !req
358. Now then, I wonder what
means we should take next.
Copy !req
359. Do you remember the ruby sky
Copy !req
360. we saw that day?
Copy !req
361. The two of us drew close,
encircled by promises, vows
Copy !req
362. and an early summer's breeze
Copy !req
363. I hide the shadow
Copy !req
364. that stretches out behind my forced smile
Copy !req
365. So pretending not to notice, I choose rebirth
Copy !req
366. I kept waiting for settling news on the table,
Copy !req
367. knowing all about the empty night,
Copy !req
368. and the morning that would not come
Copy !req
369. Someday, you will remember the ruby sky
Copy !req
370. we saw that day
Copy !req
371. Embracing the promise we couldn't keep,
Copy !req
372. the two of us start walking
Copy !req
373. In order to report on the incidents in Liore,
Copy !req
374. Ed and Al visit East City,
