Talk:Edward Elric

The part of the manga and anime are a little mixed up take a look-- 20:12, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

There was some bias against the relationship between Ed and Winry. In the manga in chapter 48 she states she is in love with him so the part in the article that said no romantic feelings are shared and they are considered brother and sister is not only wrong but biased. --Sakura22222 19:53, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Birthdate
the anime gave Edward a date of birth, but Arakawa specified that she avoids giving birthdates to her characters because it limits what she can do with the story. She mentioned that she thought of Edward being born in the winter, but that her perception of winter was skewed because, in her birthplace, wintry weather would sometimes last nearly six months. additionally, edward's birthday of february third in the anime was to coincide with the birth of Elicia Hughes, when, in the manga, they don't necessarily have the same birthday.

i added your bit about the non-specific birthday. good day. 75.159.234.160 00:06, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Periodic Table
There is nothing to suggest that Edward has a photographic memory. As a genius alchemist, he has significant knowledge of chemical elements and remembers them by heart, not by sight. CorbeauKarasu 21:24, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Father
That's actually a bit complicated, but I don't think we can say Edward has any family relations with Father, because the fact that Father was made out of Hohenheim's blood doesn't make him his 'child' in the true sense of the word. Father is neither a son nor a clone to Hohenheim, but rather a being created through an alchemical process and, in my view, making that a family relation is going a bit too far into the meaning of Father's creation, since Father seems to simbolize more of a 'negative' side of Hohenheim, or a 'mirrored' version of him. Even though, I don't think we can say he's a clone, either, cause his original purpose was not to 'make another Hohenheim', but rather a different, new and improved being out of 'human blood', but with no family bonds gone beyond Creator and creature. --Turdaewen 04:56, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
