Edward is small for his age, standing at only 149 cm (4'11") at the beginning of the series, despite his attempts to appear taller, (due to the notation that he cannot stand regular milk). He wears his golden-blond hair long - usually tied in a braid that hangs down to his shoulders, but sometimes forgoing the braid for a simpler ponytail. He parts...
On the surface, Edward displays an immature sort of personality. He is decidedly stubborn and strong-willed, frequently 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 ...
Edward's relationship with his younger brother is easily the strongest and most significant of his personal connections. Ed is very protective of Al, but Al seems to care about Ed in an almost parental way. Though the Elric brothers have wildly different personalities and argue often about the best way to go about things, they are close enough 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 T...
Ed's relationship with Winry Rockbell is likely one of his more complex personal connections. Born to the kind family that lived next 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, however, Edward argues with Winry even more than he does with Al, their similarly stubborn personalities keeping them at odds with one another despite their powerful bond. After the terri...
Officially, Colonel Roy Mustang is Edward's superior officer, but their relationship is far from the typical professional connection. There exists between them a sort of amicable animosity, 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 around his orders and showing Mustang up whenever he manages to find an opportunity. Though their meetings are fraught with a great deal of appare...
Despite Edward's small stature and young age, he is a remarkable combatant, academic, philosopher, and strategist. Having apprenticed under Izumi Curtis, Ed was taught to condition his body through regular workouts and sparring as part of her philosophy, "to train the spirit, first train the body." As such, his slight frame belies a compactly muscu...
Edward's name means "rich guard", derived from the Old English elements ead "wealth, fortune" and weard "guard".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 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 comprise...Sep 7, 2022 · Edward lost Alphonso and his leg for attempting the process. He struck a bargain with Truth and lost his arm in the process but gained his brother’s soul back. Edward was brought to the Gate of Alchemy to face Truth and the consequences of their actions.
Dec 19, 2016 · At the end of Brotherhood, Edward sacrifices his gate in order to bring back Al with his body. While doing so, the Truth being associated with Ed's gate tells him: You've defeated me. Take everything you want! So why didn't Ed get his leg back, when he can get everything if he sacrifices his gate?
Ed loses his arm getting a part of his brother (his soul) back from Truth. Ed's sacrifice was needed to get back what the truth had taken. Remember in the end, Al gives his soul to give Ed back his arm so he can perform alchemy again after his arm is broken.
Al's body needs a soul to go back into the real world through his own gate. An explanation why they can see each other's gates is because they are bound by soul. In Episode 62, Al sacrifices his soul to bring back Ed's arm (essentially reversing the trade in #2).
