![]() Edward paid his right arm to get Alphonse's soul back, which Truth recognized as an equivalent exchange (as one could consider Alphonse being Ed's 'right-hand man' if you will furthermore, Truth let an exchange on human souls occur, something Truth would usually never do, presumably out of pity for Edward). In this case, the irony was that Edward had to pay the leg he stood on and the only family he recognized as having left. Due to Edward Elric opening the gate in an attempt to bring his mother back through human transmutation, Truth takes Edward's left leg and his brotherAlphonse. ![]() ![]() Truth introduces themselves as the being some people call God, the World or the Universe, at first seeming welcoming and jovial to its guests before calling attention to their hubris and opening the Gate, which has forced them inside earlier and now forces them outside.Īccording to Father, Truth's sense of toll payment is often based on dramatic irony, oddly unfitting of Equivalent Exchange, which Truth upholds. It appeared as a vigorous man toRoy Mustang, and when the Dwarf in the Flask entered the Gate, he appeared as the Dwarf's original form when he lived in the flask. Truth takes on the appearance of whomever enters its domain.Due to their relative appearance, whenEdward and Alphonse Elric each appeared before the Gate, Truth vaguely resembled a young boy and when Izumi Curtis appeared, Truth's shape reflected that of a young woman. In Alphonse's case, Truth possesses his entire body, and appears as such. InEdward's case, Truth appears as a featureless young boy, but later possesses Edward's arm and leg which were paid as an equivalent exchange for seeing Truth, and gettingAlphonse's soul back. Truth can be seen being in possession of items that it took from the Alchemist when they opened the Gate. ![]() Truth is depicted as a white, featureless version of whomever passes through the Gate this is because truth serves as one's own conscience. In the series, the Gaea hypothesis is proven by Father, and Father subsequently reveals that heavenly bodies, like planets and stars, also have their own Gates since they are "life forms". Truth oversees everything in the universe, and regulates all Alchemic exchanges in the world.Īside from humans, all living things possess their own Gate of Truth, through which they can see Truth (or, speculatively, their own cognitive perceptions of the actual Truth that their limited 3-dimensional intelligences make up in a vain attempt to comprehend Truth). As a "God", or "the Universe", Truth embodies the universe, serves as both a deityand Monad for it, and also represents the consciousnesses and consciences of living things. Truth will accept otherwise impossible exchanges when a Philosopher's Stone is used, as it or part of it will be used for the exchange instead.Īs a negative version or "conscience" of the alchemist who performed Human Transmutation, Truth is perceived by the finite human mind as punishing them for "Playing God". Truth is a metaphysical being who appears when a person attempts Human Transmutation. Seeing Human Transmutation as an unfair exchange according to the equivalent exchange laws of Alchemy, Truth will bring the alchemist into the Gate and forceably take their most valued attribute, or something of value that represents their anticipated relationship to the person they are trying to create or resurrect.
