Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood f ocuses more on the plot from the manga, that was close to completion by its debut. Now, take away almost all of that in the reboot. In the aftermath, Edward tries to resign from the military, is visibly barely holding it together, and getting into fights with his little brother, and this is all technically before Ed has done anything as an official state alchemist. Just in time to run into a notorious serial killer named Scar who turns them into a blood stain on an alley wall to be found by the two boys who tried and failed to save her life. As the military came to take the Tucker family away, Ed throws a fit and upends the car allowing for the chimera that is somewhat still Nina to escape and run away into the rainy city. When Edward attacks Tucker in fury and despair, Tucker rubs in the fact that science, alchemy specifically, always sacrifice people to make progress. In his darkened study, only illuminated by candles, there are transmutation circles scrawled on the floor, the ceiling, and the walls in red ink. Tucker had fused Nina and her dog into a talking chimera, something that is irreversible. RELATED: Fullmetal Alchemist: The Final Alchemy coming to Netflix in September Shou Tucker's New Talking Chimera Tucker's conduct is allowed by the unconcerned military officials, and the Elrics become so worried about Nina's safety, that they break into the Tucker house. Tucker even establishes himself as a threat to Ed and Al's security by correctly guessing the two of them committed the taboo of human transmutation. With Nina present in so many events in the Elrics' lives, her father's continued unsettling behavior catches their attention. When Ed's birthday came around, the three of them were invited to Maes Hughes' home where his pregnant wife, Gracia, gave birth to Elicia. The Elrics and Nina spent days together, and when Edward passed his assessment, Nina sat on Alphonse's shoulders at the ceremony. Tucker's rising stress hovers over every study session, and if that wasn't a distraction enough, the Elrics end up spending most of their time playing with Tucker's fiver year old daughter, Nina, and her dog, Alexander. His next assessment is fast approaching, and his unsettling and slightly threatening nature make him an awkward study partner. Shou Tucker is known for his ability to combine different animals together to make chimeras and received his State Alchemist position because of a chimera that could talk. As opposed to the manga and Brotherhood, Edward Elric and his younger brother, Alphonse, are twelve and eleven and will be studying at the home of the Sewing Life Alchemist, Shou Tucker, as they prepare for Edward's State Alchemist assessments. The 2003 version had a little more wiggle room in regard to filler, and this proved to be advantageous when it came to the mutilation and murder of Nina Tucker. The divergence between Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood exists because the former was aired before the manga's completion. No one expected that to be the iconically tragic arc of Nina and Shou Tucker. While many fans would argue that if anyone was about to start watching Fullmetal Alchemist you shouldn't even bother with the original 2003 run and jump straight into the Brotherhood remake, there are some things that are just done better the first time.
