This relationship was confirmed at the end of the series, with Ed confessing his feelings to and eventually marrying Winry. Winry, for her part, has admitted to herself that she fell in love with Edward long ago. Though Edward has not outwardly admitted any romantic feelings toward Winry, he is rather overprotective of her and becomes unnaturally flustered at the mere suggestion of an amatory relationship between them. However, this affectionate hostility appears to be masking a deeper relationship. Since then, Winry has served as Ed's constant well of support, both mechanically and emotionally, though they still find themselves arguing frequently. After the terrible accident that claimed Ed's arm and leg, Winry took on the role of his personal automail mechanic, building him sophisticated new limbs at the tender age of eleven. As such, however, Edward argues with Winry even more than he does with Al, their similarly stubborn personalities keeping them at odds with one another despite their powerful bond. Born to the kind family that lived next door to the Elrics, Winry grew up alongside Ed and Al and means as much to them both as would a sister she and Ed are more than childhood friends, they are a family. Despite his own physical hardships with his automail limbs, Edward appears to care relatively little about returning his body to its original state and is entirely focused on restoring Al as soon as possible.Įd's relationship with Winry Rockbell is likely one of his more complex personal connections. Edward managed to call his brother's soul back from the void and affix it alchemically to a suit of armor, but remained wracked with the guilt of having both initiated the experiment that caused the accident and damning his brother to a cold existence inside an artificial body incapable of physical sensation (something that Edward believed his brother blamed him for). As it is, Edward willingly sacrificed his right arm as material for a Soul Binding Transmutation after Alphonse's whole body was taken into The Gate (an act that almost killed him) as part of the payment for the attempted resurrection of their mother. Though the Elric brothers have wildly different personalities and argue often about the best way to go about things, they are close enough that each would readily and willingly give his life for the other. Ed is very protective of Al, but Al seems to care about Ed in an almost parental way. Edward retains his appearance from both the Manga and Anime, wearing his trademark Red Coat and Black Undershirt and being short for his age.Įdward still retains his cocky, sometimes childlike attitude, and still has his strong intelligence and Alchemic skill.Īll of Edward's relationships towards the other characters are completely unchanged from the Manga or Anime adaptations.Įdward's relationship with his younger brother is easily the strongest and most significant of his personal connections.
