In the first anime series, the remains of the failed human transmutation that was Trisha takes on a larger role.
#HUMAN TRANSMUTATION FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST TATTOO FULL#
If this is done,which it theoretically could be with a Philosopher's stone,(allowing one to survive creating a homunculus and to attach a soul to it) it is unknown if the now complete homunculus will be a full human thus able to perform alchemy, age, and die easily, or not. Al also implies that it may be possible to complete a preexisting homunculus. Using the Philosopher's Stone or a human life as the material to recall the soul, it is possible to bring back a human as a complete human. The anime declares that it is possible to bring dead humans back into the living world, but upon being revived, they generally become inhuman Homunculi with the physical appearance and memories of the humans they used to be. In the anime, the results of resurrective Human Transmutation are different. In the original FMA anime (not FMAB), however, Of the known attempted Human Transmutations, the rebound has been the "taking" of parts of the initiator's body out of the living world and into the void of the flow. The attempt will cause a rebound due to both the inherent lack of any particular substance able to match a human soul in value and the fact that the initiated transmutation is reaching for an unattainable goal. In the manga, it is determined that resurrective Human Transmutation is impossible because a soul that has left the mortal coil has passed on into the afterlife and can never be called back by human means.
