List of ''Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood'' episodes
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, known in Japan as Alchemist of Steel: Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師 フルメタルアルケミスト Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Furumetaru Arukemisuto), is the second independent anime adaptation developed by Bones from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series by Hiromu Arakawa.[1] Yasuhiro Irie worked as director, and Hiroshi Ōnogi as writer.[1][2] The series follows the story of two alchemist brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to restore their bodies after a disastrous failed attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy.

The series premiered on April 5, 2009, on MBS-TBS's Sunday 5:30 pm JST anime timeblock, replacing Mobile Suit Gundam 00.[4] It received its English language premiere five days later on Animax Asia, with Japanese audio and English subtitles.[5] Anime distributor Funimation streamed English subtitled episodes four days after the Japanese air dates on both its website and its YouTube channel. Funimation suspended streaming of the series for a few weeks in May following the accidental leak of an episode of One Piece from its servers before it had aired in Japan.[6][7][8] All episodes were also available on American subscription service Hulu, showing 14 days after their original airing, as well as via Australia's Madman Entertainment.[9] English dubbed episodes of the show started on American cable channel Adult Swim from February 13, 2010, onwards, as part of their Saturday anime block.[10]
Aniplex began releasing the series in DVD and Blu-ray on August 26, 2009. The first one contains two episodes and an original video animation (OVA).[11] Three more OVAs were included in the fifth, ninth and thirteenth volumes alongside four episodes.

The Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse, who both have already made a strong reputation of themselves despite Edward's short military career, are called upon by Führer King Bradley and Colonel Roy Mustang to hunt down rogue state alchemist Isaac McDougal. Edward and Alphonse ambush and successfully capture their target. However, due to Edward being enraged by McDougal calling him "small", the "Freezing Alchemist" finds an opening and escapes. The Elric brothers alongside the state military are forced to confront McDougal again when he simultaneously activates numerous transmutation circles in Central, which creates an alchemic reaction encompassing the entire command center. Edward suspects the use of a philosopher's stone, but is unable to confirm his suspicion. Luckily, the Elric brothers, Major Alex Louis Armstrong, and Mustang succeed in thwarting McDougal's plans to bury Central in ice. The Führer confronts McDougal as he attempts to escape. In the brief battle that follows, McDougal is easily sliced to death by the Führer, who later credits both Mustang and the Elric brothers in helping accomplish the mission. | |||

As Edward and Alphonse depart for Liore by train, their childhood is shown in flashback. They had learned rudimentary alchemy from their father's books, and, upon their mother's death, had attempted to revive her by performing human transmutation, a practice officially considered taboo among alchemists. A dark mass of shadowy hands then proceeded to disintegrate Alphonse's physical body, while a disembodied figure named Truth showed Edward the secret behind perfect human transmutation in exchange for his left leg. Cursing his actions in causing the loss of his brother, Edward bonds Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor, sacrificing his right arm to complete the process. Elsewhere in the present, Colonel Maes Hughes shows Mustang the paperwork concerning the McDougal incident, which states that McDougal used a Xingese art known as alkahestry, unknown to the two of them. Back in the past, Edward's skill in both surviving the attempted human transmutation and anchoring his brother's soul attracts the attention of Mustang, who suggests Edward become a state alchemist. Edward later takes and passes the state alchemist examination, and is given the title of "Fullmetal Alchemist". | |||

Edward and Alphonse arrive at Liore, where they witness Father Cornello winning the devotion of the townspeople by performing "miraculous" transmutations, which they believe could only have been accomplished using a philosopher's stone. They meet Rosé and request to see Cornello, who is aware of the state alchemists' presence. Cornello ambushes Edward and Alphonse, sending a chimera, a hybrid, after them. While battling the chimera, Edward unintentionally reveals his prosthetic automail limbs, making Cornello realize that he had attempted the forbidden taboo of human transmutation. Edward and Alphonse escape, taking Rosé with them. While Alphonse explains their story to Rosé, Cornello finds Edward and reveals his nefarious plan, unaware that it had been broadcast to the whole town of Liore. Cornello uses the philosopher's stone on his ring to fight against Edward, but Edward manages to defeat him. Edward then realizes that the stone is a fake when it shatters on the ground. Cornello runs off, but is killed by Lust and eaten by Gluttony. When Rosé confronts Edward and Alphonse about the stone, despairing that she had believed in Cornello for nothing, Edward tells her to find strength within herself and to "walk on her own two feet". | |||

He opens up his library to the Elric brothers for them to study living creature transmutation, but they also end up spending time to play with Tucker's daughter Nina and family dog Alexander. Upon returning to the house for another study session, they find that Tucker has created another speaking chimera in order to satisfy his yearly assessment requirements. However, Edward is furious to discover that the speaking chimera was created using Nina and Alexander, and he also realizes that Tucker did the same with his wife, two years prior. Alphonse stops Edward from nearly beating Tucker to death, as Edward is left feeling helpless.

They quickly retreat until they are cornered and are forced to defend themselves, resulting in Scar damaging Alphonse's body and then destroying Edward's right arm.

They decide to chase after Marcoh, only to learn that he was researching the philosopher's stone but only succeeded in creating an incomplete version.

Sheska reveals that she has an eidetic memory and memorized all of Marcoh's research and then makes handwritten duplicates for the Elric brothers. While initially appearing to be a cookbook, Edward notices that it is written in a code that Marcoh created. Edward and Alphonse spend several days deciphering the hidden data, only to discover that the philosopher's stone is made from sacrificing living humans. Edward asks Brosh and Ross to keep it a secret, but Armstrong learns about it using intimidation. Edward notices another hidden piece of information, locating an unused laboratory next to a prison, where "raw materials" for the stone were gathered.

Alphonse initially has the advantage in his fight, until Barry suggests that Alphonse never truly existed, claiming he was a doll made by Edward with false memories. Contemplating on the possibility, Alphonse recalls that Edward was afraid of telling him something. Edward is particularly troubled when his opponent turns out to be a pair of brothers, each controlling a different part of the armor. Edward manages to defeat Slicer by use of Scar's destruction technique, but before he can get any information from the two brothers, they are killed by Lust and Envy.

With the majority of the Central Command Headquarters captured, the Briggs Fortress soldiers start to celebrate until Bradley, still alive, approaches the headquarters, promising to reclaim it. | |||
56 | "The Return of the Führer" "Daisōtō no Kikan" (大総統の帰還) | May 9, 2010[84] | July 30, 2011[81] |
Hohenheim, who had managed to converse with all the souls within his philosopher's stone, had infused the souls into Father's body to destroy it from the inside. However, Father shows his true form and is able to survive outside of his container, yet somehow he escapes from the inevitable and gets rid of his skin which appears to be a container. Meanwhile, Bradley begins his attack on the headquarters and solely takes on the resisting forces, as well as destroying Buccaneer's automail arm. As he reaches the main gate, he finds himself against Greed, and Bradley reveals his hidden ultimate eye to fight him. Buccaneer allows himself to be stabbed in order to take away Bradley's sword, though Bradley soon arms himself with daggers. Meanwhile, Falman and the remaining Briggs Fortress soldiers try to fend off the Central soldiers, and Fu later arrives to assist Greed in facing Wrath. | |||
57 | "Eternal Leave" "Eien no Itoma" (永遠の暇) | May 16, 2010[85] | August 6, 2011[86] |
Greed, unable to hurt Wrath, is pinned down during their fight, which forces Fu to fight Bradley alone. Fu attempts to perform a suicide attack to kill Wrath using explosives strapped to his chest, but Bradley defuses them and mortally wounds Fu. However, Buccaneer thrusts a sword through Fu's body before he falls and successfully stabs Bradley in the stomach, allowing Ling to scratch out his ultimate eye, while Lan Fan arrives to witness her grandfather's death. Meanwhile, Edward's group encounters the gold-toothed doctor who created Bradley, and are pit against the numerous rejected Führer candidates. The doctor then activates a transmutation circle, connected by the five research labs in Central, which absorbs Edward, Alphonse, and Izumi. | |||
58 | "Sacrifices" "Hitobashira" (ひとばしら) | May 23, 2010[87] | August 13, 2011[86] |
In the ensuing battle, Bradley ends falling into the moat below over the side of the front gate. As Buccaneer lays dying, he gives his final request to Ling to defend the front gate. Already distraught by Fu's death, Ling complies and draws upon the full power of Greed's ultimate shield to annihilate all Central forces before the gate. Underground, Edward and Izumi, with an unconscious Alphonse, reappear in Father's lair to find Hohenheim subdued. With four of the five human sacrifices, Father is left to wait for the fifth. The gold-toothed doctor in the levels above has Hawkeye's throat slit, telling Mustang that he will only save her if he performs human transmutation as the fifth candidate. | |||
59 | "Lost Light" "Ushinawareta Hikari" (失われた光) | May 30, 2010[88] | August 20, 2011[86] |
Following Hawkeye's eye signal, Mustang refuses to perform a human transmutation. May arrives with Jerso, Zampano and Darius, and heals Hawkeye's wound. However, Wrath and Pride also appear and force Mustang to perform human transmutation, using the gold-toothed doctor as a sacrifice. Mustang passes through the Gate of Truth and reappears in Father's lair with Pride, Father and the other sacrifices, and finds he has lost his eyesight in exchange. Scar battles Wrath above, and May crashes through the ceiling of Father's lair to find Alphonse unconscious. Alphonse stands before the gate to find his body, but despairs that he will be unable to use it to fight alongside the others because of its frailty. He promises to return for his body and goes through the gate, regaining consciousness in Father's lair and completing Father's count for the five sacrifices. | |||
60 | "Eye of Heaven, Gateway of Earth" "Ten no Hitomi, Chi no Tobira" (天の瞳、地の扉) | June 6, 2010[89] | August 27, 2011[86] |
Edward and Alphonse battle against Pride, as May tries to take on Father by herself, all while the Ishvalans lay out alkahestry transmutation circles throughout Amestris. In his fight against Wrath, Scar reveals a reconstruction transmutation circle from his brother's research now tattooed on his other arm. Just as Edward's group starts to gain the upper hand, and despite the arrival of Greed, Father grabs the four sacrifices and uses them along with Hohenheim for his transmutation circle, absorbing all the souls in Amestris. This gives Father enough power to open the earth, allowing him to unlock the entrance to Heaven and absorb the Being within, the Eye of God. | |||
61 | "He Who Would Swallow God" "Kami o Nomikomishi Mono" (神を呑みこみし者) | June 13, 2010[90] | September 3, 2011[86] |
Those who were present in the lair manage to survive the human transmutation, discovering how Father used over fifty million Amestrian souls only to suppress the Eye of God within a reborn body. Father neutralizes the use of alchemy, as he prepares to annihilate them. However, Hohenheim reveals his countermeasure, for having spent years traveling the country, placing fragments of his own philosopher's stone into the earth to use as foundation for returning the Amestrian souls to their original bodies. The stone fragments are activated by the eclipse's umbra, as the souls are ripped from Father's body back into their bodies, which forces a weakened Father to relinquish the Eye of God. As the eclipse then lifts, Bradley becomes blinded with sunlight, allowing Scar to kill him. Scar activates the nationwide alkahestry circle that his brother and fellow Ishvalans had been preparing, which restores the use of alchemy at the greatest potential. Unable to fight in his unstable body, Father retreats above ground to find more souls and replenish his stone supply. Edward remains behind to fight Pride while everyone else chases Father. Pride tries to steal Edward's body to replace his own deteriorating one, but Kimblee's soul reappears within him and taunts him while Edward enters his body and destroys it, reverting him to the form of a small fetus-like creature. Edward spares Pride's life and leaves to join his friends. | |||
62 | "A Fierce Counterattack" "Seizetsunaru Hangeki" (凄絶なる反撃) | June 20, 2010[91] | September 10, 2011[92] |
Hohenheim and the others stop Father from making more philosopher's stones, but as Edward rejoins them, Father spawns humans resembling the people of Xerxes before attacking with a powerful blast which takes out half the headquarters. They barely manage to survive the blast, but Alphonse and Hohenheim take some heavy damage protecting the others. Before Father can kill Edward and Izumi, the Briggs Fortress soldiers, along with several of Edward's allies, join up to attack Father and use up his stone supply. Father lets down his barrier temporarily to try to absorb Greed's stone, giving Edward, Armstrong, and Izumi the opportunity to damage him to the point of defending himself manually. As Father starts to lose control, he creates a blast which traps Edward's arm while his automail arm is destroyed. With Edward in danger, Alphonse convinces May to help him perform a transmutation, trading his soul for the return of Edward's right arm. Alphonse rejoins with his body on the other side and with his arm returned, Edward frees himself to unleash a series of blows on Father. | |||
63 | "The Other Side of the Gateway" "Tobira no Mukōgawa" (扉の向こう側) | June 27, 2010[93] | September 17, 2011[92] |
While being effortlessly pummeled, Father desperately tries to absorb the philosopher's stone from Greed. However, Greed, who decides to part from Ling's body, uses his carbonization ability to turn Father's body into weak charcoal. Father extinguishes Greed's soul, but Edward punches through Father's chest, releasing all the souls of the people of Xerxes and sending Father to the Gate of Truth where he is trapped for eternity. In the wake of Father's defeat, everyone mourns Alphonse's sacrifice. Edward rejects using a philosopher's stone to bring him back to life, even after Hohenheim offers his final life as an apology for the pain the Elric brothers were forced through. Edward ultimately decides to perform a human transmutation on himself, sacrificing his own gate and his ability to use alchemy with it. As a reward for discovering he does not need to perform alchemy, Edward is allowed to bring Alphonse back with him in his original body. As everyone recuperates from the battle, Hohenheim returns to Resembool and dies peacefully before Trisha's grave. | |||
64 | "Journey's End" "Tabiji no Hate" (旅路の涯) | July 4, 2010[94] | September 24, 2011[92] |
Deciding to help sort out Ishvalan policies, Mustang is approached by Knox as well as Marcoh, who offer him a philosopher's stone to get his eyesight back, though Mustang insists it be used to fix Havoc's legs first. Olivier secretly rescues Scar so that he can assist Miles in rebuilding Ishbal. Having previously seen off Ling, who had promised to take care of May's clan among others once he becomes emperor, the Elric brothers return to Resembool where Winry awaits them. Two years later, Grumman, who had become Führer, visits Bradley's wife, who had been raising up Selim to be a compassionate child. Alphonse decides to travel with Jerso and Zampano to Xing and other eastern countries to learn about alkahestry, while Edward learns what he can in the west, hoping to pull their research together. As Edward heads off, he and Winry finally express their love to each other using the term of equivalent exchange. The last shot shows Ed and Winry, now married with two children, accompanied by Al, May, Paninya, and Garfiel. |

Edward and Alphonse hear of a blind alchemist named Judeau who had supposedly performed a successful human transmutation. Meeting up with him, Jude reveals to Edward that a young girl named Rosalie Humbergang was resurrected through alchemy, with his eyes paid for in equivalent exchange. However, the madame refuses to teach Edward about the techniques used. Rosalie leads Alphonse to a room with a little girl's shriveled corpse inside. She reveals this as the result of the real Rosalie's transmutation, while she herself is a girl named Amy, who was adopted due to her similar appearance to Rosalie. As Edward arrives on the scene, the madame tells him that her late husband kept the truth about the transmutation failure from Judeau, who truly wanted to resurrect Rosalie. The Elric brothers then leave carrying this knowledge with them as well. | |||

Winry explains that she decided to pierce her ears after meeting Hawkeye on the day Edward decided to become a state alchemist. Meanwhile, Hawkeye explains to Rebecca that she grew her hair long after meeting Winry that same day. Rebecca comments on how simple a reason that is, and Hawkeye says that reasons are always simple. To explain her choice, she remarks that they are all living in a simple world, one where when they pull the trigger and their enemies die. | |||

On the second day, she had been found by some of guards of Briggs Fortress, but had managed to beat them and take their food rations. On the eighth day, she had been close to starving to death, but then had become motivated to survive. As she had learned to defend herself and live off of the wildlife, she had realized the meaning behind alchemy, saying that one is all, and all is one. However, returning after a month, it is revealed she had been talking to Silver's older brother, Gold Steiner, who is not an alchemist but rather a hand-to-hand combat specialist. Annoyed, Izumi beats him and leaves. This ends with an exaggerated look on the first meeting between Izumi and Sig. | |||
