Talk:Episode 49: The Other Side of the Gate (2003 series)

Time Difference
This episode made me question the time difference between our world and the FMA world.

Supposedly the difference is 6 years, seeing as it’s 1915 in the FMA world at the end of the series and 1921 in ours. In the movie, it’s 1917 in Amestris and 1923 in our world. Also, in the Kids OVA, it says that Edward would’ve turned 100 in 2005 (in our world), when he was born in 1899 in the FMA world.

However, in episodes 49-50, when Ed crosses the gate and goes to London, it’s 1916, but it’s ~1915 in the FMA world. Where did the 6 year difference go?

The only explanation I could come up with is that when Ed crosses the gate, he reverts back to the age when he and Al did human transmutation, making him 11. The time in our world would be 1922, but if you take off the 5 years since the human transmutation it makes it 1916. Even then, the time difference should still exist, just like how Al is 10 years old again at the end of the series (~1915 instead of 1910).

Could anyone help explain? Lancebruh (talk) 13:57, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
