Fullmetal Alchemist Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-26 · 30 entries checked · 15 flagged · 33 issues confirmed · 15 corrected · 18 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Edward Elric — The entry claims that in a common slapstick gag, Edward deliberately lets Winry hit him with a wrench, but in canon he is genuinely hit without any indication of choice.

Greed — Envy is immobilized by Roy Mustang and then killed by Edward, who destroys Envy's Philosopher's Stone after Envy is already dead — this is inaccurate because Edward destroys the stone while Envy is still alive, causing Envy's death.

Greed — Pride does not openly betray Father or meaningfully help Edward — this is partially inaccurate because Pride does openly defy Father by refusing to kill Edward, which meaningfully helps Edward.

Scar — The entry states Scar's brother used alchemy to attach a prosthetic arm he created, but in canon, Scar's brother used alchemy to attach his own biological arm to Scar.

Scar — The entry claims Arakawa created Scar to represent the historical conflict between Hokkaido and the Ainu people, but Arakawa has stated the Ishvalan conflict was inspired by the persecution of the Ainu people, not specifically a conflict between Hokkaido and t

Xerxes Empire — The entry claims Xerxes does not appear as a nation in the series, but it is explicitly mentioned as an ancient nation in the manga and 2009 anime.

Xerxes Empire — The entry states the name Amestris is 'derived directly' from the historical queen, but this derivation is speculative and not confirmed by canon sources.

Truth's Chosen — The entry states Edward became a State Alchemist at age 11 in the 2003 anime, but he is 12 in both the manga/Brotherhood and the 2003 anime.

Amestris State Military — Scar's brother was killed after the Ishbalan War, not during the campaign itself.

Amestris State Military — Scar received his brother's left arm, not the right arm.

Greed's Army — Greed took over Ling's body while Ling's soul was still present, and the body became a homunculus body due to the Philosopher Stone, not a normal human body.

Greed's Army — In the canon manga/Brotherhood, Greed never had an armor body; his original form was a humanoid homunculus.

Human Transmutation — The entry states that creating a Philosopher's Stone from living humans is a form of human transmutation, but in canon it is a separate forbidden practice, not classified as human transmutation.

Human Transmutation — The entry claims that Truth takes a toll for any alchemy that violates Equivalent Exchange, but in canon Truth only intervenes specifically for human transmutation or Philosopher's Stone creation via human souls, not for other violations like transmuting lead
