Like Dante, he created a Philosopher's Stone and gained a long life by transferring his consciousness into another person's body. In FMA03, Hohenheim is just a normal human being who was originally Dante's lover however, he eventually left her due to no longer sharing her desire to have immortality at any cost. She was the result of Ed and Al's attempt to bring back their mother. He was the result of Izumi Curtis's attempt to revive her son.įMAB & FMAM's Sloth is not present in FMA03.įMA03's Sloth is unique to the series. Gluttony, Envy, Lust, and Greed have the same name and appearance in FMAB, FMAM, and FMA03.įMAB & FMAM's Wrath (King Bradley) is called Pride in FMA03.įMAB & FMAM's Pride (Selim Bradley) is not present in FMA03.įMA03's Wrath is unique to the series. Instead, either the Philosopher's Stone powering them needs to be destroyed or its power drained (normally through forcing them to regenerate multiple times).Īnother difference is the identify of the Homunculi themselves, with some Homunculi from FMAB & FMAM not appearing in FMA03 at all and others having their name changed. Unlike FMA03's Homunculi, FMAB & FMAM's Homunculi do not have an "original" body that needs to be destroyed. Each Homunculus is also powered by a Philosopher's Stone. ![]() In FMAB & FMAM, the Homunculi were created by Father, with each one representing a different aspect of his personality ( Lust, Gluttony, Envy, Greed, Wrath, Sloth, and Pride the seven deadly sins). They could only be killed by destroying their original body. In FMA03, the Homunculi were the result of attempting to perform human transmutation and failing. Dante's only motivation is to become immortal and live forever. Unlike Father, she is just a normal human being who created a Philosopher's Stone and has managed to live a long time by transferring her consciousness into the body of other human beings whenever she was nearing death. His ultimate goal in FMAB & FMAM is to steal the power of what he refers to as "God" and become a being of infinite power and knowledge. In FMAB & FMAM the main antagonist was a character referred to as Father, a being of incredible power who is capable of performing transmutation at will, and without regard for equivalent exchange. The major differences between FMA03 and FMAB & FMAM are: StorylineĪlthough both stories follow Edward and Alphonse, the overarching story is considerably different between FMA03 and FMAB & FMAM. This allowed FMAB's storyline to be more faithful to FMAM's storyline because FMAB had a mostly-complete storyline to draw from FMAM. ![]() On the other hand, FMAB was created when FMAM was nearing the end of its development. FMA03's storyline started to diverge from FMAM's storyline after around 10 episodes because, at that point, the anime was starting to outpace the manga. When this happens, either filler for the anime is created or changes to the anime's storyline and characters are made so that the anime can continue to be developed. When an anime series is based on a manga that is still in development, the anime is eventually going to reach a point where it outpaces the manga, because anime episodes tend to be developed quicker than manga volumes. The reason for the difference is because FMA03 was created when FMAM was still in the early stages of its development. To improve the flow of this answer, the following abbreviations will be used:įMAB = Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (Anime) There are a large number of differences between the two Fullmetal Alchemist anime, with far too many to list therefore, I'll only cover the major ones.
