In the original FMA anime, when Scar the Ishvallan began his revenge-killing spree in Central, he and Ed crossed paths on non-lethal terms. In the encounter, Ed acknowledged that he would very likely have died that day. After their attempt to resurrect their mother, Edward was thrown into purgatory where a rush of information seemed to be downloaded into his consciousness, boosting his abilities.
This was also the event that enabled Edward to perform alchemy transmutations by simply clapping his hands, and without a transmutation circle. Since the incident, Edward had wanted to ask if Alphonse held any feelings of contempt for his older brother, but was too afraid of what the answer might be. A meeting with Dominic LeCoulte , an automail mechanic living in Rush Valley, gave Edward a little bit of hope for his height; LeCoulte informed Ed and Winry that the automail arm and leg being so heavy may have stunted his growth, prompting Edward to begin strategizing on the spot.
As the Strong Arm Alchemist defends them from the surrounding chaos, Marcoh reveals to the Elrics the vast atrocities of the Ishbal Massacre. Ed is sent into a rage when they lose Al in the process.

Barry sets off a series of explosions that inadvertently free Greed and the other prisoners.
Tucker returns from the dead in a surprising new form. Edward upsets Winry with his refusal to talk, and Alphonse decides to confront Edward with his questions about artificial souls.
Alphonse runs off and comes face to face with Scar, who's been hiding out among the mercenary-plagued refugees of Ishbal. When Ed and Al take Winry on a quest to tail Scar and learn more about the Stone, they discover a connection between Lab 5 and the war in Ishbal. As Ed, Al and Winry arrive in Rush Valley to retrieve automail, Mustang figures that a high-ranking officer must be responsible for Hughes' death. Edward and Alphonse fear for their lives when they come face to face with Izumi Curtis, their former teacher, who brings them back to Dublith.
In order to teach them a life lesson and give them time to reflect, Izumi leaves Ed and Al on Yock Island -- the place where she first found them. Edward and Alphonse discover that the young boy on Yock Island is, all at once, an alchemist, a homunculus and able to transmute his own body. As the military captures the mysterious Yock Island boy and imprisons him in South Headquarters, Yoki spots Scar among a group of Ishbalans. Envy disguises herself as Bradley and plucks the homunculus child from Izumi.
Meanwhile, the boy remembers his past after he eats Stone fragments. Izumi drops in on Ed and Al's fight with Wrath, a new homunculus who seeks the rest of Edward's body in order to make himself human.

Havoc orders his man Falman to find him a girlfriend. Later, Mustang must investigate the haunted Warehouse After an argument splits up Ed, Al and Winry, Al bumps into a familiar face, and Winry decides to investigate Hughes' murder with Sheska.
Kimblee is named State Alchemist and heads out with the troops to Liore, where Scar is gouging out the earth with a large stone. After Lust and Gluttony drop in on Edward's confrontation with Scar in Liore, the seventh and final homunculus is finally revealed.
With the help of Rose, the Holy Mother, Scar instructs the inhabitants of Liore not to provoke violence as they lure the military into town. With Ed busy aiding the people of Liore, Scar is the only one who can help Alphonse when his armor begins transforming into an explosive compound.
While the Elric Brothers flee Liore, Winry meets a complete stranger in Resembool who is later introduced to her as Ed and Al's father. As the Elrics' father, Hohenhelm of Light, sets out to confront the leader of the Homunculi, Lyra and Rose find a secret stairway in an old church. A complex and entangled history reveals itself as Van Hohenheim of Light battles Dante, the leader of the Homunculi.
At the end of the series, Edward is shown to have grown noticeably taller, being several inches taller than Winry and finally being at least equal in height to Alphonse. Near the end of the anime series, it is revealed that the Earth has its own version of Edward Elric, who is identical to that of the storyline save for having his hair and bangs cut short. As a result of his alchemical dismemberment, Edward was fitted with full steel automail prosthetics custom crafted by Winry and Pinako Rockbell.
His left leg from just above the knee down is automail and his automail right arm reaches all the way up to his shoulder; both are designed so that their outer shells resemble modernized plate mail. In the manga and anime series, after Edward travels to the northern area, he is refitted with new, cold-climate type automail limbs.
Designed to be rich in carbon to prevent frost damage and lighter to help Edward's movement, they are both significantly thinner than his previous models and even appear more lustrous, with a more prominent silver tint than the old steel versions.
At the end of the series, Edward keeps his automail leg and the scars from the installation of his arm remain indefinitely on his right shoulder. In Conqueror of Shamballa , Edward is fitted with a gas-powered automail arm by Hohenheim for use on Earth, where automail does not exist.
It is coated with a thin, skin-colored film so as to blend in with the rest of his body, but when the gas motor is activated - allowing Ed greater power and motion with his arm - the heat from the exhaust melts the coating, revealing the mechanical plating underneath. Ed wears as his trademark a bright red, long-sleeved, hooded cloak whose tail comes down to his upper calves.
Emblazoned in black on the back is a Flamel , signifying his tutelage under the master alchemist Izumi Curtis. It is likely that Edward fashioned this cloak for himself, as he needs to repair it often and, in Chapter 85 , transmuted one from scratch using a roll of red cloth.
During the Elric Brothers' trip to the northern area, Ed's cloak was modified somewhat with a white fur trim around the hood to accommodate comfortable passage through cold conditions.
Though Ed's clothes vary over the course of the series, he seems particularly partial to black and will nearly always dress in black trousers and some sort of black shirt under his coat. This is his main outfit, and over the course of the manga and Anime , the jacket undergoes multiple changes. This is seen at the beginning of the manga and anime where the jacket is longer and is tucked into his belt. However, when he first leaves Resembool, it hangs over his belt and has a zipper on top.
The most common version portrays the jacket being connected at the top with a button, and falling slightly short of waist-length, making it possible to see his black shirt. He also wears a wide brown leather belt to which he keeps his silver State Alchemist pocket watch affixed.
In the anime, this belt is instead changed to two thin belts worn parallel to each other. As part of his attempts to seem taller, Edward is rarely seen without his elevator shoes - black leather boots with thick, red soles. Additionally, he frequently wears white gloves when in public to conceal the fact that his right arm is artificial.
It is likely that his general outfit is meant to convey a red, black, and white motif, as these three colors as well as the gold color of his hair and eyes are considered significant in traditional alchemy. On the surface, Edward displays an immature sort of personality. He is somewhat selfish and self-absorbed, generally acting more out of self-interest than any sort of philanthropy as well as taking several opportunities to stroke his own ego or flaunt the governmental power and monetary license of his military position.
He is largely hostile towards figures of authority and feels little incentive to follow orders with which he disagrees, earning him the distinction of being a loose cannon of sorts. Edward is also rather quick-tempered, resorting more often to steel-fisted violence than calm negotiation to settle disputes even going so far as to suggest that refraining from hitting Paninya because of her gender is a sexist notion and, therefore, against his principles. He has a reputation for being foul-mouthed and is an incurably sarcastic cynic, only too happy to bluntly and harshly relieve others of their comfortable delusions regarding God, reality, or their own self-importance.
Edward has also displayed a propensity towards impatience and an inability to sit still for long, which perhaps contributes to his love of travel.
However, for those few people who have made an impact on him, Ed shows his deeper nature to be one of marked selflessness, unflinching loyalty, and great compassion. As someone who has had to suffer greatly at such a young age, Edward cannot ignore the true suffering of others and becomes sympathetic upon sensing pain and resolve in people's hearts. Though his solemn advice to such people is often tempered with brusque criticism, it is only because he genuinely wishes to place them on the most direct path forward.
As one who has to struggle with a maimed body, he urges those with healthy bodies to use their strong legs to move forward, and as one burdened by the mistakes of his past, he stresses the necessity of people taking responsibility for their own errors.
Though he will intervene on behalf of the oppressed if he concludes that a situation has called for it, Ed tends to help only those with the will - but not the means - to help themselves, in which case his recklessness and disdain for authority often has him bending the rules to dole out a Robin Hood-esque justice in accordance with his strong belief in the concept of Equivalent Exchange , earning him notoriety and popularity as a "hero of the people.
A defining trait of Ed's shown throughout the series is his guilt complex; as far as he's concerned, his and his brother's current states are his fault, partially because it was his idea to transmute their mother in the first place and partially because Al lost his entire body as a result of the experiment, while Ed only lost an arm and a leg. He was even convinced that Al hated him for what happened to his body, and was scared to ask him about it for years. As a result of this trait, he starts off as highly standoffish, trying to accomplish everything on his own and not accepting help from anyone but Al, as well as being convinced that he can solve all of his problems through Alchemy.
Over time, however, he learns to depend more on his friends and share his burdens with others. But while he may work on his guilt, it never truly goes away, as even towards the end of the series, he's still beating himself up over Nina Tucker being turned into a Chimera , despite having saved countless other lives along the way.
