* [[Fullmetal Alchemist (
=== Entries Q-Z ===
Line 40:
* [[Ribcage Stomach|Ribcage Mouth]]: Gluttony gets one and Swallows Ed, Lin, and Envy.
* [[Rich People]]: The Armstrongs are loaded, and even Edward can surprise people by [[Undisclosed Funds|how much]] he can spend from his alchemy research budget.
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: May Chang's [[Pandaing to
* [[Right-Hand Attack Dog]]: The chimera guarding Father's lair.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Mustang after {{spoiler|Envy reveals he killed Hughes himself.}}
Line 52:
== S ==
* [[Sand in My Eyes]]: Or rather, "[[Fullmetal Alchemist (
** Also an [[Ironic Echo]] to earlier in the series, when Riza points out that "You're useless when it's raining."
* [[Save the Villain]]: Subverted in chapter 95 {{spoiler|when the others stop Roy from killing Envy, not because they want Envy to live, but because they don't want Roy to give in to his anger. They just plan to kill Envy themselves.}}
Line 67:
** Plus Scar, back when he had [[Cool Shades]].
** Don't forget Gold-Toothed Doctor.
* [[Screwed
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: The world mixes 1920s tech with alchemy and cybernetic limbs.
** The carbon fiber in the cold-weather automail is something that shouldn't be within the technological capabilities of a roughly 20s-era civilization. A lot of the Briggs-developed tech falls into this as well. The tank, for example, is of a design that does not look like anything we had in the 20s but resembles post-[[WW 2]] tanks. On the other hand, despite their mechanical advancements there do not appear to be any sort of aircraft.
Line 87:
* [[Ship Tease]]: [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|Winry and Ed]], [[Love Hurts|Mustang and Hawkeye]], [[Bodyguard Crush|Ling and Lan Fan]], [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl|Al and May]]...it's clear why the shippers love Arakawa.
** A number of said shippers were also put off when the ''Brotherhood'' anime watered down some of the [[Ship Tease]]. Winry teasing Al about missing May when she initially had to leave was cut, and Roy and Riza's [[Battle Couple]] moment near the finale was changed from Roy and Riza leaning on each other as Riza directed Roy's attacks to Riza just standing behind Roy giving directions.
* [[Shipper
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Armstrong is a [[Walking Shirtless Scene]], much to other characters' dismay. Ed has a tendency to [[Clothing Damage|tear his shirt]] in order to show off his arm (and his abs), not that anyone minds. Ling loses his jacket-thing and goes around shirtless for a while ([[Fan Service|yay]]!).
** And Roy too, when {{spoiler|he kills Lust.}}
Line 93:
** Call him whatever you want, but Scar is a sexy hobo.
* [[Shooting Superman]]: Although shooting Homunculi ''isn't'' completely useless, since {{spoiler|they do have a limited amount of times they can regenerate}}, most of the people shooting them have no idea of this. So, from their perspective, it may just be better to run away.
** Or [[Kill It
*** Or [[Kill It
* [[The Short Guy
* [[Shorttank]]: Winry.
* [[Shout-Out]]: To ''[[The Fly]]''.
Line 110:
* [[Shown Their Work]]: We are repeatedly shown instances of Ed experiencing tremendous pain in his automail and becoming nauseated, sometimes to the point of being violently ill, when there are severe changes in barometric pressure. This is [[Truth in Television]] for people in the real world who have metal body parts. Ed suffers the symptoms to a greater extent than most because almost half his entire body is metal, but the nature of the suffering is very accurate.
** Roy Mustang uses his gloves to create fire. It doesn't work on rainy days, but {{spoiler|if he's a closed-off area with enough water, he can just separate the water into hydrogen and oxygen and use a source of sparks to ignite it. He can't do it in the rain because it's too open, and separating the molecules would endanger everyone around him}}. Also, the snapping sound he makes is the gases reacting, not the sound of him actually snapping his fingers.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Ed's [[Talk to
** Subverted in the fight between Al and Kimblee, concerning the {{spoiler|Philosopher's Stone}} Al has acquired, turning it into a [[Shut Up, Kirk]] moment.
{{quote| '''Kimblee:''' Why don't you use it to regain your original bodies? You would have no trouble escaping this situation with {{spoiler|the stone}} at your beck and call. And once you were in a safe place, you could both have your old bodies back. [[Motive Decay|That's how your whole journey was supposed to end, wasn't it?]]<br />
Line 143:
* [[Son of a Whore]]: {{spoiler|Mustang. Technically nephew/foster son, but whatever}}.
* [[Speak of the Devil]]: It happens a few times that people are talking about Scar and two seconds later Scar and his group walk past them or up to them.
* [[Spell My Name
** This is not helped by the manga and anime using different official spelling: Lin (manga)/Ling (anime), Ranfan(manga)/Lan Fan (anime), Who (manga)/Fu (anime), Reole (Manga)/ Liore (anime).
*** Heck in the official manga alone the spellings change constantly. The two that change the most are Ling and Ishval. One page of the manga has Ling's name tag bracelets say "LING YAO" but the jail guard in the next panel saying "So your name's Lin Yao, huh?".
** The new anime finally pins down the correct name for Xerxes with the picture of a map.
*** As well as [http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg91/Devonjw91/FullmetalAlchemist/Olivier.jpg Olivier Mira Armstrong's.] This is also a [[Tomboyish Name]], or just flat out [[As Long
* [[Spit Take]]: Ed does a pretty spectacular one after Hawkeye suggests that he's in love with Winry. And poor Hayate gets soaked too.
{{quote| '''Riza:''' Amusing. He's weak to direct hits.}}
Line 172:
** It cost Ed ''an arm and a leg'' to save Al's soul.
* [[Stereotypes of Chinese People]]: The characters from Xing.
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: ''Brotherhood'''s first ending is made to look like a child's crayon drawing. ''[[Stickin' Around|Real mature, Edward!]]''
* [[Subordinate Excuse]]: Riza Hawkeye and Roy Mustang. [[OTP]]. 'Nuff said.
** There are some hints near the end that this may have been the case with [[Pair the Spares|Olivier and Buccaneer]] as well.
Line 201:
** In Chapter 108, Ed is faced with the dilemma of using a Philospher's Stone to bring Al back (something he's promised never to do), or {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice|allowing Hohenheim to sacrifice himself]]}}. Ed instead decides to {{spoiler|sacrifice his ability to perform alchemy.}}
* [[Take Care of the Kids]]: As seen in a flashback, {{spoiler|Master Hawkeye's dying words to Roy urge him to "take care of my daughter."}}
* [[Talking the Monster
* [[Talking to Himself]]: In the original Japanese verision of ''Brotherhood'', Alphonse and the miniature panda Shao May are both voiced by [[Rie Kugimiya]].
* [[Talk to
** More like "Talk To The Fireball", but during the fight with Envy, Roy fries his eyes every time he tries to [[Hannibal Lecture|start gloating about how humans suck.]]
* [[Tank Goodness]]: See [[Tempting Fate]].
Line 247:
** Heck, most of the sympathetic members of the military are this.
** {{spoiler|He might deny it, but Greed and his band of followers were also this before they were slaughtered by Bradley. It also turns out that this was Greed's greatest desire.}}
* [[Truer to
* [[Try Not to Die]]: Mustang gives this as his only order to his subordinates before they {{spoiler|storm the capital}}.
* [[Tsundere]]: Winry and Izumi. Winry is type B, which means she's normally 'dere' but can get 'tsun' when someone annoys her (often Ed). Izumi is type A as she seems to be 'tsun' when not putting up a "sweet housewife" front, but is unbelievably 'dere' with her husband.
* [[Two Guys and
** {{spoiler|1=They eat like MP EVAs too, as seen from Ep 51 of Brotherhood}}
Line 283:
== W ==
* {{spoiler|[[Wacky Marriage Proposal]]: See [[Victorious Childhood Friend]] above. [[Star Wars|Han Solo]] and [[The Princess Bride (
* [[The Walls Have Eyes]]: '''Pride''' is mostly made up of darkness, this, and incredibly creepy grins.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Alex Armstrong, with the added bonus of being so cartoonishly overmuscled that it's practically [[Fan Disservice]].
Line 298:
** Aversion: When Roy is talking about {{spoiler|how all his loyal men (and woman) have been taken away, while going over the chess pieces representing them, the bishop in the panel is tipped onto its side.}} Definitely symbolic.
** {{spoiler|During Father and Hohenheim's initial fight, notice the dragons they use against each other. Notice a difference?}}
** People from [[South of the Border|Milos]] [[Run for
*** And the fact that most people from Milos (at least the ones whom name we know) are named with [[Phenotype Stereotype|Mexican-sounding]] names, like Carlos, Santos, Julia, Miranda, Raúl, Anita, '''Pedro''' and '''Gonzalez'''.
* [[What If]]: In a gag comic at the end of volume 20, Ed starts a long string of "What Ifs":
Line 313:
* [[Whole-Episode Flashback|Whole Volume Flashback]]: Volume 15
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: {{spoiler|Hohenheim decides to find a way to become a normal human again once he has a family. [[Tear Jerker|He dies in front of his wife's grave with a smile on his face]].}}
* [[Wisdom
{{quote| ''Accept that you are killing people. Look them in the face and don't forget them--because '''they''' won't forget '''you'''.''}}
* [[Wishful Projection]]: May hears about the Fullmetal Alchemist from various people, and forms a mental image of a tall, gentlemanly prince... and is horrified to find the short, rude reality. She later forms a similar image of Al's real body, after Alphonse, offended that she would think him similar to his brother, provides an exaggerated opinion of his own traits.
Line 348:
** In the film ''Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos, {{spoiler|Atlas}} did this to {{spoiler|Julia's parents}}.
*** Subverted for {{spoiler|Julia's brother, he was alive all along}}.
* [[Your Approval Fills Me
