Ed Transmutes Without a Circle — Truth's Price Returned
Edward Elric· Father Arc
Father has absorbed God. All transmutation circles are sealed. Every alchemist is helpless. Ed claps his hands — a trick that requires passing through the Gate of Truth — and transmutes without any circle, drawing the power from his own life force. The impossible, done by the boy who passed through Truth as a child.
Why it lands: The entire alchemical framework of the series made personal. He gave up the Gate itself to do this.
