This is a lesson Ed is quite familiar with, having learned that the homunculi started the Ishvalan Civil War. This corruption should have served as an example to Ed of just how dangerous it can be to have bigoted people in power. The murders of Alfons and Hohenheim from the very society they tried to work for parallels Hughes' murder for trying to expose the homunculi. The Ishvalan-Roma connection is later confirmed when audiences see that the real-world counterparts of both Scar and Lust are Romani. Clear parallels are meant to be made between the Ishavalans of Amestris and the Roma being persecuted in Munich. This is an important distinction to make when comparing the series with the movie.ĭuring Conqueror of Shamballa, Ed is trapped in the Weimar Republic in the year 1923 and must navigate a world that is becoming increasingly hostile toward the Roma. In nearly every episode, the Elric Brothers remind the audience what their goal is: “To find a philosopher’s stone and get our bodies back.” However, in the FMA movie Conqueror of Shamballa, the brothers' personal growth is displayed when they come to realize that they cannot afford to ignore the world around them any longer. Their goal is important because it sets the tone for the series the Elrics are primarily self-interested in the recovery of their body parts. Fullmetal Alchemist is a story about two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, going on a journey to recover their lost bodies.
