![]() ![]() More importantly, they suffered the consequences and have to deal with them every day. Shou argues that the Elrics also attempted human transmutation, and that's what probably "inspired" him to continue his experiments after so long, but they were children who didn't know better, alone in the world, attempting to bring back their dead mother. Even in the real world, we condemn the Nazis' experiments on humans during World War II, and nowadays, people can only be subject to testing medication or beauty projects when there's no possible way of them being harmed. Practicing alchemy with human subjects is strictly forbidden because of the moral implications it has. Shou introduces Edward to the chimera, who slowly lifts its head towards its creator, hears the name of the new acquaintance, and repeats it slowly, in a deep voice: "eh-doh ah-doh." Edward is naturally intrigued and approaches the chimera, but, before he can say anything, it calls him "big brother." It quickly dawns on Edward that this chimera is, in fact, the result of a transmutation between Nina and her dog, Alexander. ![]() Now, if the depressed visual of the chimera is already disturbing, its voice is even more so. Visuals aren't really the important thing about this new chimera, though - what matters is really the ability to comprehend and reproduce human speech, so Shou quickly shows the boys what his creation can do. Edward immediately finds this weird, but keeps it to himself, while Al, as usual, isn't suspicious about anything whatsoever. Only the chimera itself is not impressive visually, with a body very similar to a big dog's, brown hair on its head, and round, disturbingly blank eyes. The boys are excited, of course, because that may well mean a chance at restoring Al's body in the future, and rush to meet this new being with Shou. Leading the good vibes is, of course, Nina, who's a charming kid and is always up to something fun.Įverything changes all of a sudden toward the end of the Elrics stay with the Tuckers, as Shou comes to them with the news of having finally achieved his goal of producing a second chimera capable of human speech. Everything fits perfectly, and the episode quickly builds a "family in the commercials" vibe, with everyone getting along perfectly. But the Elrics are also very young and never had any moment in life to actually be children, so they also bond with Nina. They are dedicated students, and Shou is a good teacher, even if a little obsessed with replicating his success with the first chimera. The Elrics go to Shou Tucker with the hope of learning some of his craft to restore Al's body, or at least Ed's arm and leg. Since then, he's been living with his only daughter Nina and their dog Alexander, both extremely lovable and a dynamic duo of joy. That's when he started getting funding from the State to continue his studies, and also when his wife left the family. Once, a long time ago, Shou was able to transmutate two beings together to create a chimera capable of human speech. The result of this process is known as a chimera. ![]() Shou Tucker is known as the Sewing-Life Alchemist, as his field of study is transmutation involving living beings - but not humans, as that's illegal. At first glance, they are a very happy family. ![]()
