Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

2009 – 2010

About

"In order for something to be obtained, something of equal value must be lost."

Alchemy is bound by this Law of Equivalent Exchange—something the young brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric only realize after attempting human transmutation: the one forbidden act of alchemy. They pay a terrible price for their transgression—Edward loses his left leg, Alphonse his physical body. It is only by the desperate sacrifice of Edward's right arm that he is able to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. Devastated and alone, it is the hope that they would both eventually return to their original bodies that gives Edward the inspiration to obtain metal limbs called "automail" and become a state alchemist, the Fullmetal Alchemist. Three years of searching later, the brothers seek the Philosopher's Stone, a mythical relic that allows an alchemist to overcome the Law of Equivalent Exchange. Even with military allies Colonel Roy Mustang, Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, and Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes on their side, the brothers find themselves caught up in a nationwide conspiracy that leads them not only to the true nature of the elusive Philosopher's Stone, but their country's murky history as well. In between finding a serial killer and racing against time, Edward and Alphonse must ask themselves if what they are doing will make them human again... or take away their humanity.

epicdope.com's Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood filler guide — episode-by-episode classification into manga canon, anime-original opener, partial filler, or pure filler. (https://www.epicdope.com/fullmetal-alchemist-brotherhood-filler-list-guide/) / QuoteTheAnime's combined Fullmetal Alchemist filler list (covers both the 2003 series and Brotherhood) — groups episode 1 and 27 under one 'Filler/Anime Canon' column but agrees on the same underlying episode-level facts as the other two guides. (https://quotetheanime.com/filler-list/fullmetal-alchemist/) / SuperHeroJacked's Fullmetal Alchemist / Brotherhood filler and watch guide — matched epicdope's Brotherhood breakdown exactly, episode for episode.

3 independent sources agree

Corrected 2026-08-25: all three cross-referenced guides tag this episode 'anime canon' (a compressed, reordered preview built from real manga-sourced material, drawing on events from later in the story as a framing device, rather than a straight chapter-order adaptation) — distinct from both plain manga-canon and the one standalone filler episode (27). Originally recorded as 'mixed' here, which was inconsistent with how this project treats the identical 'anime canon' label everywhere else (Dragon Ball Super's own anime-canon episodes are recorded as plain canon) — aligned to 'canon' to match.
