01 "To Challenge the Sun"
"Taiyō ni Idomu Mono" (太陽に挑む者) October 4, 2003 November 6, 2004
In a brief flashback two young boys, Edward and Alphonse Elric, attempt to perform an alchemical transmutation. Something goes horribly wrong. Alphonse disappears, Edward is missing his left leg and right arm, and a grotesque figure reminiscent of their mother appears out of the transmutation circle. The scene switches to the current day and the brothers are seen walking across a desert. They arrive at Lior, where they hear about a religious leader named Father Cornello who can invoke miracles. Rosé, a young woman who works for Cornello, takes the brothers to him. When they see Cornello perform a "miracle," they realize he is performing alchemy, but is ignoring the Law of Equivalent Exchange and think that the gem that Cornello has is the Philosopher's Stone. Feeling the pressure from the brothers, Cornello orders his right-hand man, Cray, to kill them. Cray, however, fails because Al has no head, and Rosé, scared for her life after witnessing Cray shoot Al to no effect, runs to Cornello. Al and Ed chase after her, and Cornello attacks them when they arrive. When his attacks fail, he realizes that the brothers committed the ultimate sin—a human transmutation—and use auto-mail, hence Ed's nickname, "The Fullmetal Alchemist."
02 "Body of the Sanctioned"
"Kinki no Karada" (禁忌の身体) October 11, 2003 November 13, 2004
The brothers reveal that they were trying to revive their mother and they warn Rosé that reviving her boyfriend, Cain, would result a similar fate. Cornello then attacks them, and they barely escape. To comfort Rosé, Cornello shows her a silhouette of Cain. He then orders the townspeople to attack and capture the Elrics, which they do. Cornello catches Rosé trying to visit Cain and he reveals the silhouette to be a chimera made of birds. He leaves her to be eaten by the chimera, but Al arrives just in time to save her. When Cornello tells Ed his plan to use Lior as the base for world domination, Al broadcasts it across town. Ed then defeats Cornello with his superior alchemy, but Cornello's Philosopher's Stone turns out to be a fake. Ed and Al leave in disgust and Lust and Gluttony clean up behind themselves by killing Cornello and replacing him with Envy masquerading as the "real" Cornello.

They apprentice themselves to Izumi Curtis, and after her training, they attempt to resurrect Trisha, but Ed loses his left leg and Al loses his entire body. Ed sacrifices his arm to attach Al’s soul to a suit of armor, and Al carries Ed’s broken body to Rockbell Automail to get him automail limbs. Roy Mustang tries to recruit them for the army after receiving a letter about their father, Hohenheim, and seeing the attempt at human transmutation, but Pinako Rockbell orders him to leave.

Majihal talks to the brothers and they discover that he has been attempting to revive Karin, his former lover who died in an accident. He has been using the souls of the village girls to power his mannequins. Karin, however, turns out to have not died, but has aged. Majihal refuses to accept the fact that Karin, now old and wrinkled, did not die and attempts to kill Ed.

A party riot is in view, where all of the characters from both the theatrical release and the series are turned into chibi forms. Envy's dragon form is actually a costume. After removing the costume, many characters confuse his androgynous form with that of a female. Hawkeye begins with the denouncement of Mustang. Two suits of armor go next and reveal they are Scar and Lust. Scar rips off his X-shaped scar and propels it across the room at Ed and Al, but misses and strikes Gluttony. Ed meets Heidrich, and Al changes his voice to Heidrich's to insult Edward. Ed and Al then deal with a drunk Winry.
2 "Kids"
This brief sequence shows three children, who bear exact resemblances to the Elric brothers and to Winry Rockbell, making a trip through a modern city. They travel alone to Edward's apartment. Edward is by then aged and also referred to as a great-great-grandfather. In the end, a text scrolls along the bottom-center that reads, "In the year 2005, Edward Elric will be 100 years old. In this world, somewhere..."
