Line 23:
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: One of these names does not sound very European: Ed, Al, Roy, Izumi. Can you spot it?
* [[Afraid of Needles]]: Ed
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]] {{spoiler|Lust in this version committed many crimes in pursuit of her goal, which in this version was to become human. She was even wise enough to realize that Dante was never going to honor the deal and use the Philosopher's Stone to make her or any of them human, so she decides to try helping Ed and Al by assisting them in taking down the other humonculi. With her help they manage to weaken Sloth, but thanks to Sloth manipulating Al, she escapes and then Wrath arrives and thanks to him being able to use alchemy, uses the same method to drain all the red stone shards from Lust, and then he executes her. Before dying, she relents that maybe one of the reasons she was so desperate to become human was, because she both feared and longed for death, hoping that she might gain a soul which would mean she was free}}.
* [[All Deaths Final]]: Alchemy cannot revive the dead. {{spoiler|Those who try to do so end up making homunculi -- and end up losing ''at least'' part of their body as Equivalent Exchange.}}
** {{spoiler|The only subversion to this rule occurs after Envy kills Ed, since Al -- at this point, a walking Philosopher's Stone -- performs the world's first perfect human transmutation.}}
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[Anti-Villain]]: While many of the villains receive a lot of humanization, {{spoiler|Scar}} ends up so sympathetic that he nearly qualifies as an [[Anti-Hero]] toward the end. {{spoiler|Lust}} also become more sympathetic toward the end.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: {{spoiler|[[A Father to His Men|Hughes]], [[Powered by a Forsaken Child|Nina]], Alexander, Scar, and Ed.}}
* [[Asshole Victim]] Basque Grand, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride, Shou Tucker, Archer, Kimblee, and Dante.
** {{spoiler|Ed and Al themselves have moments where you DO feel sorry for them, but then there are other times where they couldn't have set themselves up for failure any better if they tried, which can lead to seeing them as this}}.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: Envy to Ed, Pride to Roy, Kimbley to Scar.
* [[Armor-Piercing Question]]: Barry to Al. "How do you know your memories are real?"
Line 46 ⟶ 49:
** {{spoiler|Scar}} over time.
** {{spoiler|Hohenheim}}.
** {{spoiler|Lust at the very end}}.
* [[A Wizard Did It]]: The rules of alchemy, the Gate and Amestrian technology are much more vaguely defined in this series compared to the manga and (to a lesser extent) ''Brotherhood''. This, combined with the [[Gecko Ending]] and [[Darker and Edgier]] approach, constitutes the primary reason for the [[Broken Base]] regarding the first series.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Barry the Chopper. Envy gets like this whenever he loses restraint. Then, of course, there's Zolf J. Kimbley.
Line 72 ⟶ 76:
* [[Big Brother Worship]]: Al towards Ed.
* [[Big Eater]]: Ed, but Gluttony embodies the trope [[Extreme Omnivore|quite literally]].
* [[Big Friendly Dog]]: Alexander {{spoiler|And later a chimera}}.
* [[Big Good]]: Hohenheim
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: Al loses his body when he and Ed botch an attempt to revive their mother, {{spoiler|creating a villainous duplicate instead}}, Ed hates his father, {{spoiler|Dante is technically the Elrics' [[Evil Stepmother]], another homunculus is one of her former lovers, and two other homunculi are Ed and Al's half brother and Izumi's son.}}
Line 80 ⟶ 84:
* [[Body Horror]]:
** Human transmutation.
** The fate of {{spoiler|Tucker, his dog, and his daughter}}.
** Wrath and his self-transmuting.
* [[Body Surf]]: {{spoiler|Dante and Hohenheim.}}
Line 126 ⟶ 130:
* [[Death by Adaptation]]:
** {{spoiler|Yoki, Scar, Doctor Marcoh, Selim Bradley and Izumi Curtis}} all die, but live in the manga.
** [[Spared By Adaptation|Inversely]], {{spoiler|Shou Tucker}} dies in the manga, but lives in this. If you can call it that.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Selim Bradley, who becomes a major character in the manga, appears in only a few scenes and has a completely different identity in this.
* [[Death Course]]: Played for laughs (also as a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'') when Ed sets off a series of traps in Lab 5.
