Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)/Tropes A-F: Difference between revisions

* [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male]]: Nobody sees a problem with Winry beating Ed with a wrench whenever he pisses her off.

* [[Accidental Pervert]]: In a chapter in the manga and the corresponding episode in ''Brotherhood'', Winry walks into her room without noticing Edward already in there and starts undressing. By the time she realizes she's not alone, she's already uncovered some [[Underboobs]]. She almost goes ballistic on him (and everyone else who comes in hearing her scream).

* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Alphonse's blood seal. For Roy, being a fire alchemist, it's water, but only because it disables his spark glove. Since Roy's actual alchemy deals in flammable gases (like hydrogen), if you do drench him, [[Not So Harmless|you'd better pray he doesn't have a backup flame source, 'cause you just gave him a WHOLE lotta fuel for his alchemy.]]

* [[Action Girl]]: Hawkeye, [[Lady of War|Olivier]], Lan Fan, [[Little Miss Badass|May Chang]].

*** {{spoiler|It's now been outright confirmed by [[Word of God]] in the third art book.}}

** Ling fights alongside [[Bodyguard Crush|Lanfan]] with spectacular results, but like with the aforementioned Roy and Riza, the "couple" part is complicated.

* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Ed and Winry.

** Averted with Roy and Riza, who are nearly always respectful, professional and conscientious towards one another, with the occasional very small, very subtle nod to their past.

** ''Full of weapons.''

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Yoki. Every scene after his intro is comic abuse. Well, [[Moment of Awesome|''almost'' every scene]]

*** Ling {{spoiler|becoming Greed has ''nothing'' on the emotional impact of [[Tear Jerker|losing him again.]]}}

* [[Easily Forgiven]]: Averted quite nicely for the most part, especially with {{spoiler|Scar, who is never actually forgiven for his actions at all. He is, however, given the chance to seek redemption at the end, but whether he achieved it or not is, as they say, another story.}}

* [[Eccentric Mentor]]: Hohenheim, maybe. Also Bradley acts very similar to this until the Greed arc, at which point he changes completely.

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: {{spoiler|Father}}, perhaps most explicitly portrayed during the events of Chapter 104.
