The Ouroboros Tattoo
Happy FMA Day everyone! Last year I looked at Ed’s pocket watch and a message from Arakawa, so today I’m going to cover the Ouroboros symbol used by the Homunculi, its different iterations, and its possible connection to the State Alchemists.
In the manga, the Ouroboros is a dragon coiled around a hexagram, a six pointed star made from two triangles. The anime alters this to have the triangles filled in a solid colour, with the negative space forming a hexagon in the centre. This version is also used for media based on the anime, like the PSP game.
The reference art for the 09 anime specifically says not to use the manga’s hexagram.
●Please●
When abbreviating, never use a hexagram.
This is prohibited in this work.
・お願い・
省略時、六芒星 には絶対しないで下さい。
本作品では御法度としています。
Now in 2022, the mobile game has changed the Ouroboros again. Instead of the manga or anime design, it has made the star inside a heptagram, a seven pointed star formed using a continuous line pattern. Seven points for the seven Homunculi, it could work.
By the way, a hexagram also appears on the State Alchemist pocket watches and certificates.
The animal from the Amestrian flag is encased in a star the same shape as the one on the Ouroboros tattoo. I wonder if this was made as an inside joke amongst the Homunculi to show how State Alchemists are really only for their benefit as weapons and potential Sacrifices.
Like how the Ouroboros was altered for the anime, the State Alchemist symbol is very different too, having a mix of a vertical diamond and stretched horizontal hexagon instead.
The mobile game has changed the star to a heptagram, making it again match the Ouroboros.
This symbol is also used for characters in the “Creation” (創造) attribute: Roy, Grand, and Kimblee, all State Alchemists.
Oh, and they're the same as each other in the live action movies, too.
#I really loved this deep dive!#arakawa really puts a lot of thought into her stuff so it’s really cool to see it pay off like this#wonderful analysis op!!#fullmetal alchemist#fullmetal alchemist brotherhood#fma#fmab

#I initially made these beige and dark blue but I just could NOT resist the color combo of dark blue + very light pink#I like how these turned out!#fma#fullmetal alchemist#fmab#happy October 3rd my friends!!#fma edit#wallpaper#fma wallpaper#hmmmm what’s new with you?#recently I’ve been watching playthoughs of the last of us bc of that trailer that dropped#I forgot just how much I loved that game & it’s story. it’s so good!!#don’t know much of the 2nd game but I loooove the first#hmmmm what else#while searching for some of these manga panels I’ve come across old fma edits I posted online back in like… 2015?? I think??#it makes me happy to see they still come up in searches even though there is little to no creative thought to them LOL#all I did was. crop a screencap and slap a filter on it#which. I guess is no different than these#but now I know how to use this weird thing called ‘’composition’’ 😜#so its DIFFERENT!!#I didn’t get my degree in art for NOTHING#don’t go to art school kids it’s a scam#or do. and then go on to make silly anime edits on tumblr!

guess it really does cost a limb
#oh wow I’m sooooo glad shipping is free#what a steal 🤪#if this is legit it’s very cool!!#this does remind me tho of something I saw on tiktok that I was proud for spotting#someone posted a screenshot from Twitter of Hiromu Arakawa saying that a new animated series for fma was being released in December#along with some key visual art for it#and I was like 🤨#first of all#that icon of ‘arakawa’ is not her#we all know arakawa doesn’t like to show her face so why would she have a selfie of herself on Twitter?#granted idk if she actually has a Twitter. I just assumed she wouldn’t be using her face LOL#second I’m PRETTY SURE I’ve seen that art before as fan art bc I recognized the artist#third her username was something like ‘hiromuu’#and I’m thinking…. why would a famous artist & author not have a legit handle?#so anyway I totally debunked it before even looking in the comments where op was realizing it might be fake 😎#LOLOLOL obvs no worries abt op thinking it was real#I’d get super excited abt something like that if I thought it was legit too!!

I recently downloaded the new fma mobile game and OMG it’s so fun!!!! It was a bit of a struggle to download 😵💫 I thought I was going to have to jailbreak my phone but it was thankfully a lot easier than that
I LOOOVEEE the art style, it’s super polished and detailed. The shading kind of reminds me of the bumpers from brotherhood!
For a suit of armor, they did a great job at making Al look adorable 🥰 he even blinks!! Which is a little unnerving to watch lol
I really love these transitional screens where everyone is just chilling. Also al is 100% staring that cat down
Me
And for my first gacha, I got Havoc!! I didn’t super understand what was going on, I’m pretty sure it’s gacha, but. Idk I have Havoc now 😂
the scene for the gacha pull is super adorable too, Ed and Al run to a phone booth and fight to put the coin in, then you dial a number yourself!
If you have space on your phone I totally recommend downloading the game, it’s lots of fun so far!! I don’t really understand a lot of what’s happening, and I hope they’ll release a version with translations, but hey, who knows 😌 I’m just happy to be getting fma content!!
#fma mobile#I can also tell that a lot of the animated scenes are directly inspired by the manga#like#the EXACT same lol#I love it!! the animation is GORGEOUS#and updated voice acting too??????#that’s it I’m done I’m good 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳#I’m just happy to be getting ~new~ content of fma in 2022. like who would have thought??#PLUS the Netflix movies come out soon too!!!!!#I’m sure those will be lots of fun 😀#but fr I’m happy with any new content!!#fullmetal alchemist
