Additionally, due to May Chang's first appearance in Youswell also being cut, Youswell is only seen once in the series when May visited it a second time during the events in the manga. The Youswell ordeal, during which Yoki is introduced, is omitted, although Yoki does appear in later episodes and a short flashback recounting the events of that omitted chapter is also shown.The train incident involving the Elrics' battle against Bald and his Blue Squad is omitted as well as Hakuro's ear wound.Different settings for the first episode.Earlier introductions of characters ( Kimblee and Father are shown for a few seconds in episode 1).The introduction of exclusive characters ( Isaac McDougal, the Ice Alchemist).A few examples of the material changed from the original work are: However, he voices a young Van Hohenheim later in the series.Ī human chimera who can transform into a humanoid boar who has the ability to fire sharp spines from his back.Ī human chimera who can transform into a humanoid frog-like creature who has the ability to spit sticky globs of mucus.Ī human chimera who can transform into a humanoid gorilla.Ī human chimera who can transform into a humanoid lion.Īn anime-exclusive villain in the first episode of this seriesĪlthough following the main plotline of the manga, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood has some clear differences from the original work (manga), with most of the omitted content from the earlier episodes being removed presumably due to its inclusion in the 2003 anime while the less frequent omissions later in the series were cut presumably due to time or budget constraints.
