In the wake of a catastrophic alchemy experiment gone awry within the Elric household, a new and terrifying reality unfolds for brothers Edward and Alphonse. Against the backdrop of an alchemical principle that strictly forbids human transmutation, the young duo dares to defy this rule in a desperate attempt to resurrect their departed mother. However, their audacious act yields devastating consequences, as Alphonse's very being disintegrates before their eyes, while Edward sacrifices a leg, and later an arm, to bind Alphonse's soul to a towering suit of armor. Thankfully, their lives take an unexpected turn when they are taken under the wing of their caring neighbor Pinako Rockbell and her remarkable granddaughter Winry. A brilliant mind in the field of bio-mechanical engineering, Winry crafts remarkable prosthetic limbs for Edward using innovative "automail," a resilient and versatile metal often employed in the construction of cutting-edge robots and formidable combat armor. Years of training later, the determined Elric brothers embark on an extraordinary quest to restore their physical forms, honing their alchemical skills and seeking the elusive Philosopher's Stone—a legendary gem that grants its possessor the ability to transgress the boundaries of traditional Equivalent Exchange. As Edward gains notoriety as the renowned alchemist known as "Fullmetal," their incredible journey thrusts them into a convoluted web of conspiracy that poses an existential threat to the very fabric of the world. With their fates hanging in the balance, the brothers navigate a treacherous landscape, where they must confront deceit, battle malevolent forces, and unravel the secrets surrounding the enigmatic Philosopher's Stone. Courageously forging ahead, Edward and Alphonse's unwavering determination will be tested as they uncover the stunning truth that will forever alter their lives and the destiny of all they hold dear.
