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

36. Scar, a man who only
goes after State Alchemists,Copy !req
37. had attacked Edward Elric.Copy !req
38. Under the assault from Scar,
Ed was ready to die,Copy !req
39. but thanks to the intervention
of Col. Mustang and company,Copy !req
40. he escaped with his life.Copy !req
41. Once again realizing the joy of being alive,Copy !req
42. Ed and Al decided to return
to their home of Resembool,Copy !req
43. in order to restore their bodies.Copy !req
44. Yo!Copy !req
45. Lt. Colonel Hughes...Copy !req
46. The folks at the Eastern
Command Center were all busy,Copy !req
47. and couldn't come,
so I'm seeing you off, instead.Copy !req
48. That's fine and all, but...Copy !req
49. why is the major here?Copy !req
50. Isn't it obvious? What if Scar were
to attack you again, or something?Copy !req
51. You'd be in trouble,
in the shape you're in, right?Copy !req
52. The major means well. Just accept it willingly.Copy !req
53. Children need not act so coy!Copy !req
54. Don't treat me like a child!Copy !req
55. By the way, you're sure Al got aboard, right?Copy !req
56. Of course.Copy !req
57. - I thought he would
be lonesome, all by himself.Copy !req
58. - What do you think my brother is?!
- I thought he would
be lonesome, all by himself.Copy !req
59. Oh, it's time.Copy !req
60. Okay, be careful on your journey.Copy !req
61. If you ever come by Central, give me a holler.Copy !req
62. Doctor Marcoh!Copy !req
63. Doctor Marcoh, that's you, isn't it?!Copy !req
64. It's Alex Louis Armstrong, from Central!Copy !req
65. Friend of yours?Copy !req
66. He's a capable State Alchemist, from Central.Copy !req
67. He was researching how to apply
alchemy to medical treatment,Copy !req
68. but after the Ishvalan
Civil War, he went missing.Copy !req
69. Let's get off, Major.Copy !req
70. A person like him might know somethingCopy !req
71. about transmuting living things.Copy !req
72. Do you, by any chance, know this person?Copy !req
73. Major, you sure draw well.Copy !req
74. The art of drawing likenessesCopy !req
75. has been passed down among
the Armstrongs for generations.Copy !req
76. That looks like Dr. Mauro.Copy !req
77. Mauro?Copy !req
78. During the civil war,
the town's doctors were all drafted,Copy !req
79. which left us hard up. Dr. Mauro
really saved us when he came here.Copy !req
80. He doesn't give up on any
patients, and sees them all.Copy !req
81. We're glad to have him.Copy !req
82. No sooner do you see this
flash of light, than you're cured!Copy !req
83. This is the place.Copy !req
84. Hello!Copy !req
85. What are you here for?!
Are you here to take me back there?!Copy !req
86. Please, calm down, Doctor.Copy !req
87. I don't ever want to go back there!
Please, anything but that!Copy !req
88. It's not that. Hear me out...Copy !req
89. Then, you're here to silence me, is that it?!Copy !req
90. No, it's not that.Copy !req
91. You won't trick me!Copy !req
92. Please, I'm asking you, calm down!Copy !req
93. Al!Copy !req
94. Imagine, changing your name and living
in hiding out here in the countryside.Copy !req
95. I'd heard stories that
when you disappeared,Copy !req
96. you took top-secret materials with you.Copy !req
97. I couldn't take it anymore.Copy !req
98. Never mind that it was ordered from above,Copy !req
99. to have to dirty my hands
researching that thing...Copy !req
100. That thing?Copy !req
101. During the Ishvalan Civil War,Copy !req
102. so many innocent people
lost their lives because of it.Copy !req
103. I could give my whole life,
and still not atone for what I've done.Copy !req
104. Even so, I decided to do all that
I could, so I became a doctor here.Copy !req
105. Doctor, just what was it that
you were ordered to research?Copy !req
106. The Philosopher's Stone.Copy !req
107. What I took out of there
were my research materials,Copy !req
108. and the Stone itself.Copy !req
109. You have a Stone? Here?!Copy !req
110. That's the Stone? But it's a liquid...Copy !req
111. "The Sage's Stone," "The Celestial Stone,"Copy !req
112. "The Grand Elixir,"
"The Red Tincture," "The Fifth Element"...Copy !req
113. Just as the Philosopher's Stone
is called by many names,Copy !req
114. its form is not necessarily that of a stone.Copy !req
115. However, this is an incomplete product.Copy !req
116. There's no telling when it will
reach its limit, and become unusable.Copy !req
117. Even so, it demonstrated plenty
of force during the Ishvalan Civil War.Copy !req
118. The same was true of that false priest in Liore.Copy !req
119. It may have been incomplete,Copy !req
120. but his abilities were definitely increased.Copy !req
121. If something as potent as that can be produced,Copy !req
122. then depending on the research,
a complete product is not impossible.Copy !req
123. Dr. Marcoh, can I see your research materials?!Copy !req
124. Major, who exactly is this boy?Copy !req
125. He is a State Alchemist.Copy !req
126. A child like this?Copy !req
127. After the civil war,
there were so many alchemistsCopy !req
128. who turned in their certifications,Copy !req
129. because they could not bear to be human weapons.Copy !req
130. And yet, you...Copy !req
131. I realize how foolish it is!Copy !req
132. But even so, I have to keep
lying here until I achieve my goal,Copy !req
133. even if it is on a bed of thorns!Copy !req
134. I see. You've committed the taboo, have you?Copy !req
135. You surprise me.Copy !req
136. Imagine, being able to
transmute a specific person's soul.Copy !req
137. You just might be able to
produce a complete Philosopher's Stone.Copy !req
138. So then?Copy !req
139. But I cannot show you my materials.Copy !req
140. You can't mean...Copy !req
141. You must not seek after this thing!Copy !req
142. Not even to get our bodies back?!Copy !req
143. No!Copy !req
144. It is the devil's research!Copy !req
145. If you learn about it, you will go through hell.Copy !req
146. I've already gone through hell!Copy !req
147. No.Copy !req
148. Please leave.Copy !req
149. I've already gone through hell!Copy !req
150. Are you sure about this?Copy !req
151. Incomplete though it may have been,Copy !req
152. you could have at least taken
the Stone from him by force.Copy !req
153. Yeah. I wanted it so bad I could taste it.Copy !req
154. But...Copy !req
155. We don't want to get our bodies back so badlyCopy !req
156. that we would deprive this
town of its source of care.Copy !req
157. We gained plenty just finding out that
a Philosopher's Stone can be made.Copy !req
158. We'll look for some other way.Copy !req
159. What about you, Major?Copy !req
160. Are you okay with not reporting
back to Central about Dr. Marcoh?Copy !req
161. All I met today was a simple
small-town doctor named Mauro.Copy !req
162. Hey!Copy !req
163. Dr. Marcoh...Copy !req
164. This is where my materials are hidden.Copy !req
165. If you're sure you won't
regret learning the truth,Copy !req
166. then take a look at this.Copy !req
167. Knowing you, you'll be able
to find the truth within the truth...Copy !req
168. No, I've said too much.Copy !req
169. I pray that the day will come
when you get your bodies back.Copy !req
170. Brother, what does it say?Copy !req
171. National Central Library, First Branch.Copy !req
172. I get it. To hide a tree,
place it in a forest, eh?Copy !req
173. The volume of books
there is enormous, after all.Copy !req
174. There are clues about the Stone there.Copy !req
175. I've been looking for you, Marcoh.Copy !req
176. Winry! Winry!Copy !req
177. Our regular customer is here!Copy !req
178. Yo, Granny.Copy !req
179. We're home.Copy !req
180. My word, what have you gotten into?Copy !req
181. A lot has happened. Can you set us up again?Copy !req
182. This is Major Armstrong.Copy !req
183. Pinako Rockbell.Copy !req
184. You know, I don't see you for a while, Ed,Copy !req
185. and you've gone and grown smaller.Copy !req
186. Hey! Usually in this situation,
you say "grown bigger"!Copy !req
187. If you had grown bigger, I would have said it.Copy !req
188. What was that, you minimum hag?!Copy !req
189. I told you, when you come
back for maintenance, call first!Copy !req
190. Winry, are you trying to kill me?!Copy !req
191. Welcome back!Copy !req
192. Yeah!Copy !req
193. Oh, no!Copy !req
194. Yeah, sorry. It's all smashed up.Copy !req
195. All smashed up? This is the first-rate automailCopy !req
196. I put my whole heart and soul into making!Copy !req
197. Yeah, and now it's all in tiny little pieces.Copy !req
198. So, what, are you smashed up too, Al?Copy !req
199. Just what sort of lives are you leading?Copy !req
200. Geez, all you ever do is worry me.Copy !req
201. I see.Copy !req
202. And in order to get that information,Copy !req
203. you want to go to Central as soon as possible?Copy !req
204. Yeah. We'd like you to put a rush on this.Copy !req
205. It's not just the arm,
your leg needs adjusting, too.Copy !req
206. Oh, because he's grown so much, right?Copy !req
207. Shut up!Copy !req
208. The leg aside, we'll have
to build the arm from scratch.Copy !req
209. Can you have it done in a week?Copy !req
210. Give us some credit.Copy !req
211. Three days.Copy !req
212. Make do with this spare, for now.Copy !req
213. Mm-hmm. Whoa!Copy !req
214. Sure is hard to walk on a leg I'm not used to.Copy !req
215. We'll be finished before you're used to it.Copy !req
216. That being said,Copy !req
217. between machining, assembly,
connecting, and finishing,Copy !req
218. I'll be pulling nothing but all-nighters.Copy !req
219. Sorry to ask so much of you.Copy !req
220. You want to get to Central
as soon as possible, right?Copy !req
221. Fine then, I'll overwork myself for you!Copy !req
222. But in return, you're going
to pay a bundle in rush order fees!Copy !req
223. I am finished.Copy !req
224. Oh, thanks.Copy !req
225. I don't see Edward Elric around.Copy !req
226. Yeah.Copy !req
227. He said he was going
to visit his mother's grave.Copy !req
228. Major...Copy !req
229. what kind of lives are those boys leading?Copy !req
230. They never send us a single letter.Copy !req
231. They are alchemists who are
well-known, even in Central.Copy !req
232. They also seem to find
trouble as a result of it.Copy !req
233. Oh, but they're all right.
Those brothers are strong.Copy !req
234. Strong, huh? I sure hope so.Copy !req
235. Madam Pinako, are the two
of them like grandsons to you?Copy !req
236. I've been watching over them,
ever since they were born.Copy !req
237. The boys' father was a drinking
pal of mine from long ago, you see.Copy !req
238. He up and left the village,
leaving his wife and children behind.Copy !req
239. I don't even know whether or not he's alive now.Copy !req
240. Come to think of it,
where are Miss Winry's parents?Copy !req
241. They died in the Ishvalan Civil War.Copy !req
242. My son... her parents were surgeons.Copy !req
243. They went off to the battlefield,
what with the lack of doctors.Copy !req
244. It was... a terrible war.Copy !req
245. Indeed it was.Copy !req
246. Oh, it's just about time to start supper.Copy !req
247. You look like you eat a lot,
so it makes it worth cooking.Copy !req
248. Oh, no, I couldn't let you
trouble yourself over me.Copy !req
249. Food tastes better when everyone eats together.Copy !req
250. There's some spare bedding,
and the patient's bed is available,Copy !req
251. so you can use them.Copy !req
252. Those brothers don't have
anywhere else to stay but here, either.Copy !req
253. Having one more along makes no difference.Copy !req
254. What about their home?Copy !req
255. They don't have one.
Those boys have no home to return to.Copy !req
256. The day they left,
after Ed got his state certification,Copy !req
257. they burned their own house down.Copy !req
258. They probably did it so
that they couldn't turn back,Copy !req
259. without a house to come home to.Copy !req
260. Guess we should head back.Copy !req
261. Everyone is waiting.Copy !req
262. - I'm back...Copy !req
263. - Edward Elric!
- I'm back...Copy !req
264. "Gyaah!"Copy !req
265. Such immaculate love,
to try to bring your mother back to life!Copy !req
266. Such tremendous love,
to be willing to give up your own lifeCopy !req
267. to transmute your brother's soul!Copy !req
268. Such dreadful determination,
to burn down the homeCopy !req
269. that held so many memories for you,
to cut off any retreat!Copy !req
270. Let me at least offer this embrace!Copy !req
271. Stay back! Too stuffy! Stop!Copy !req
272. You're at it, you're at it.
Working hard so early in the morning.Copy !req
273. Been up all night.Copy !req
274. Working hard, so late into the night!Copy !req
275. At this pace, you must be about done, right?Copy !req
276. I'll be up all night tonight, too.Copy !req
277. Oh.Copy !req
278. Keep out!Copy !req
279. They said it would take three days to finish,Copy !req
280. so just sit still and wait for them.Copy !req
281. Yeah, I know. But when
I think about how the secretCopy !req
282. to the Philosopher's Stone is
in Central, I just can't settle down.Copy !req
283. Sorry for the wait! It's done!Copy !req
284. Ready?Copy !req
285. Y-Yeah!Copy !req
286. One...Copy !req
287. two...Copy !req
288. three!Copy !req
289. I hate that moment when
the nerves connect, every time.Copy !req
290. But once we get a Philosopher's Stone,Copy !req
291. I can kiss that pain goodbye!Copy !req
292. I hate to lose our biggest source of income.Copy !req
293. Right. You don't have to overexert
yourselves to get back to normal.Copy !req
294. Besides, isn't it nice?
The smell of the oil, the hum of the bearings,Copy !req
295. the rugged, yet beautiful form,Copy !req
296. whose design is based
on anatomical engineering...Copy !req
297. Ah, how wonderful you are, automail!Copy !req
298. Crazy gearhead.Copy !req
299. Shut up, alchemy freak!Copy !req
300. All right, we're done.Copy !req
301. Well?Copy !req
302. Yeah, feels good.Copy !req
303. This time, I increased the percentage of chrome,Copy !req
304. to try to make it less prone to rusting.Copy !req
305. The tradeoff is that
its strength isn't as great,Copy !req
306. so don't try anything crazy with...Copy !req
307. hey, listen to me!Copy !req
308. Al, sorry to keep you waiting!Copy !req
309. You can fix him right away?Copy !req
310. Uh-huh. You kind of have
to know the trick to it, though.Copy !req
311. This seal on the inside
of his back is the mediumCopy !req
312. between Al's soul and the armor,Copy !req
313. so I have to be sure not to ruin it.Copy !req
314. All right, good as new!Copy !req
315. You wanna go right at it?Copy !req
316. Mm-hmm!Copy !req
317. It's going to be quiet around here again.Copy !req
318. It's almost time, huh?Copy !req
319. We're going to Central,
to get Dr. Marcoh's materials!Copy !req
320. We leave first thing tomorrow morning!Copy !req
321. He's sleeping with his tummy out again.Copy !req
322. What am I going to do with him?Copy !req
323. You're almost like his guardian, Al.Copy !req
324. It's hard work having a brother
who takes so much time and effort.Copy !req
325. How old are you boys now?Copy !req
326. I'm 14, Brother is 15.Copy !req
327. To think that someone the
same age as me, and as tiny as him,Copy !req
328. is a "human weapon" is laughable, huh?Copy !req
329. As vulnerable as he is when he's sleeping.Copy !req
330. Thank you, both of you.Copy !req
331. What's this? Why so formal?Copy !req
332. I'm grateful to you, Granny and Winry,Copy !req
333. for always welcoming us
like you were our real family.Copy !req
334. He won't say it, but Brother feels the same way.Copy !req
335. Al...Copy !req
336. We know that.
He doesn't have to say it for us to know.Copy !req
337. Granny, Winry...Copy !req
338. thanks.Copy !req
339. Thanks for everything, Granny.Copy !req
340. Sure.Copy !req
341. Huh? Where's Winry?Copy !req
342. She has been working
overnights for several days in a row.Copy !req
343. Want me to wake her up?Copy !req
344. Oh, that's okay, that's okay.Copy !req
345. She'd just nag me about making sure
to do maintenance, and whatever. Bye.Copy !req
346. Listen, boys,Copy !req
347. come on back once in a
while and have dinner with us.Copy !req
348. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
349. Heh, you want us to come all this
way into the mountains just for dinner?Copy !req
350. Ed, Al...Copy !req
351. Come back soon.Copy !req
352. Yeah.Copy !req

368. Really, whenever he comes here,
it's like a war hits this place.Copy !req
369. Uh-oh...Copy !req
370. The clues for the
Philosopher's Stone were there.Copy !req
371. However, the fiendish hand of the enemyCopy !req
372. seized firmly upon their goal, and the boysCopy !req
373. are drawn into a maze by
"the truth within the truth."Copy !req
374. Next time on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:
Fullmetal Alchemist,Copy !req
