Truth always does what it believes is fair in trade and will forcefully take from offenders. It believes in the upholding of alchemy's laws and rules by any means necessary and disobedience of them to result in harsh punishment. Truth is cunning and merciless but fair and wise. It appeared as a vigorous man to Roy 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.

In Alphonse's case, Truth possesses his entire body, and appears as such.ĭue to their relative appearance, when Edward 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 Edward'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 getting Alphonse's soul back. Truth is depicted as a white, featureless version of whoever passes through the Gate this represents the fact that the only one casting judgement is one's self. The Truth's voice sounds feminine and often ends with a sharp accent. Truth can be seen being in possession of items that it took from the Alchemist when they opened the Gate. As Truth is the person it is judging too, all punishments are ultimately what that person thinks is proper for their transgression.Īside from humans, all living things possess their own Gate of Truth, through which they can see Truth. Truth is all things in the universe and, therefore, the closest thing to the concept of "God" to appear in the series. 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" by abusing the power of Alchemy. Truth embodies the universe, serves as both a deity and monad for it, and also represents the consciousnesses and consciences of living things. The same as whomever is currently engaging in conversation with Truth The Truth (真理, Shinri) is an enigmatic, 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 forcibly take their most valued attribute, or something of value that represents their anticipated relationship to the person they are trying to create or resurrect.
