Worry not, below find the complete list of Fullmetal Alchemist Order.
FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST PLOT
This sci-fi show revolves around the exciting and unusual adventures of two brothers Alphonse and Edward Elric who want to bring back the bodies that they lost during their failed attempt to bring their dead mother back. Both are gifted with the powers of Alchemy. So they search for the Philosopher’s Stone.
Dante is the main antagonist in the series. He is the former lover of the Elric brothers’ teacher Hohenheim. It was Hohenheim and Dante who had perfectly made the Philosopher’s Stone and transferred their souls and intellects into other bodies as they age and attained immortality.
But over time Hohenheim left Dante because of the constant guilt that pestered him about sacrificing souls for the stone. However, Dante is reluctant to risk the rebound of creating a stone herself, even though she can still transfer from body to body with the last stone she had created along with Hohenheim. Hence she uses homunculi to encourage the Elric brothers along with other equally desperate Alchemists to create another complete Philosopher’s Stone for her.
One of them called Scar somehow managed to create the Philosopher’s Stone but infuses it in Alphonse’s body due to which he gets kidnapped. When trying to save his brother, Edward gets killed in the process. Alphonse successfully retrieves his Edward using the stone but disappears in the process. Must say that it is not a very happy-go-lucky series. It has a lot of dark content like death and destruction.

She has to face Gluttony whose mind she had destroyed. Fullmetal Alchemist order also witnesses the love of the brother how much they had to face difficulties to stay together.
