I think a lot of his cockiness stems from him trying to do it to keep his wits together to take his mind off the danger he's in. He does hold his own in a fight but he isn't the toughest and he's not exactly looking to fight to prove himself. He has some of the standard tropes of the archetypal shounen hero (being rowdy and excitable) but it's not all there is to him and unlike most shounen heroes he's more brain than brawn. I think what sets Edward apart is how he's an unconventional protagonist for a shounen series. Though the specifics vary between the manga & the 2003 series, especially regarding a certain obvious moral issue, I think the general point applies to each. Ed can actually be kind of a jerk at times, he unapologetically hates his dad for most of each series, he has an enormous ego, he's a genius so he's hardly someone anyone can project on, he's not the strongest, he's willing to pull underhanded tricks.but through it all, he still has a very well-developed moral code. So they wind up being someone most people don't hate, but also aren't really invested in.Įrgo, a lot of what makes Ed great comes down to Arakawa (& whoever was writing the 2003 adaptation) not being afraid to stretch the definition of what 'the hero' can be. I think the main reason main characters are usually relatively boring is because writers are afraid to make them disagreeable, so they give all of the controversial (& therefore interesting) traits to the other characters, & make the protagonist a kind of everyperson. I almost never think the main character is the best written, but Ed is one of the exceptions. If this doesn't scream badass to you, you're an idiot.

That had to be at least several minutes full of pure agony and he did it all without passing out from the pain until after he made sure Riza and Al were safe. Then he took a lighter and set himself on fire to sear the wound shut, seared Havoc's wound shut, and dragged himself all the way over to where Lust was fighting Riza and Al. He literally carved a transmutation circle into the back of his hand using God-knows-what sharp object he found in the lab, while bleeding out of his side.

I mean, he got stabbed through the gut and left to die by Lust, but did he give up? No, he didn't.

And speaking of Riza, Royai is my all-time favorite OTP, so Roy being a part of it also elevates him on my favorites list.Īlso the dude's hot as hell and one of the biggest badasses in a series full of badasses. It also helps that my favorite episodes in the series-episodes 10, 19, 53, 54, 58, and 59-dedicate a ton of important screen time to Roy and Riza. He goes through so much in the series and yet doesn't give up-comes close to doing so a few times, but the people around him help piece him back together. Roy Mustang is my number one favorite by far.
