Story
Two young brothers break a great taboo in an attempt to bring their beloved mother back to life.
"This is it! The theory is sound! We can surely bring our mother back to life!"
Ed, a brilliant young man with a great aptitude for alchemy, shares his formulated theory of human transmutation with his younger brother Al.
Though they wish they could see their mother's smiling face just one more time, the brothers push forward only to be met with a merciless fate. Their transmutation has failed, and Ed loses his left leg, while Al has paid the price of losing his entire body.
Weak and dying, Ed recklessly makes another attempt at transmutation, sacrificing his right arm in order to transmute Al's soul and give it a home in a suit of armor. Though Ed has lost much, he refused to give up. Now outfitted with steel prosthetic limbs, Ed becomes a State Alchemist and sets out on a journey with his armor-clad brother Al in order to take back everything they have lost. And, he will eventually come to be known as the "Fullmetal Alchemist".
