Character
Edward Elric
Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009), played by Romi Park.
Barely fifteen and already a State Alchemist, Edward Elric travels the country with his armored brother Alphonse, chasing rumors of the Philosopher's Stone. He lost an arm and a leg to a forbidden alchemy experiment gone wrong, and he wants nothing more than to restore both their bodies. He is brilliant, prickly, and furious if you mention his height.
Romi Park's performance finds the child underneath the swagger — a voice that can snap from cocky lecture to genuine terror in a breath. The writing never lets his brilliance excuse his recklessness; every triumph costs him something. He works because his bravado is so clearly armor over guilt he refuses to name aloud.
Edward Elric (エドワード・エルリック, Edowādo Erurikku), commonly shortened to just Ed (エド,, Edo), is the titular main protagonist of the Fullmetal Alchemist series. He is the older brother of Alphonse Elric. Once he became a State Alchemist, he was given the official title of Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師,, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi), which became a second nickname for him that is often shortened to just Fullmetal.
