Added Shout Out page for Fullmetal Alchemist.
Added DiffLines:
Here are the shout-outs of ''Fullmetal Alchemist''.
* Ed references ''Film/TheFly1958'' as an example of transmuting people, with a person and a fly becoming a fly-man. Even if that was solely in the realm of movies, it gave Ed the inspiration to try human transmutation.
* At one point, Kimblee says "the life force is strong with you."
* There are many references to historical alchemists, their beliefs and practices littered throughout the manga.
* The scene [[spoiler: in Gluttony's stomach]] where Ed boils a shoe into food is likely a reference to the Charlie Chaplin film ''The Gold Rush''--Ed refers to getting the idea from a film he saw. [[note]]Boiling boots to eat the leather was common practice in desperate times of warfare. Being as they are from a war-like nation, it can be rationalized that knowledge of such practices have crept into popular culture.[[/note]]
* On their first visit to Rush Valley, Winry starts {{Squee}}ing over a "Gotts 11th Year Model Automail". Compare UsefulNotes/GotzVonBerlichingen's '''''RealLife''''' [[ArtificialLimbs prosthetic hand]].
* The chimeras, especially the ones who worked for Kimblee, seems to be based on [[VideoGame/BloodyRoar zoanthropes.]]
* Giolio Comanche the Silver Alchemist is a lot creepier once you notice the similarities to ''Anime/CowboyBebop''[='=]s [[MonsterClown Mad Pierrot]]. (Less creepy if you see [[TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}} Rich Uncle Pennybags]] instead).
** One of the residents of Rush Valley bares a remarkable similarity to Jet Black, complete with similar robotic limbs.
* [[spoiler: Father's apotheosis]] is eerily similar to the awakening of Lilith in ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]]''.
** The eclipse backdrop and the importance of "sacrifices" also evoke ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''.
* The [[spoiler: mannequin soldiers]] are likewise very similar in nature and looks to the mass-production Evangelions.
* Envy's {{Eldritch Abomination}} form could be a shout out to Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan. The cover depicts a creature covered with human bodies, like Envy. The connection? In some religious mythology, the Leviathan [[FridgeBrilliance is a representation of the sin Envy]].
* During Edward's fight with Kimblee, he slashes his right transmutation circle. That circle contains a triangle which contains a circle. The slash wound divides the circle in two exact halves. [[Literature/HarryPotterandtheDeathlyHallows A line, a circle, and a triangle - where we saw it before?]].
* Hughes' military identification code is USO-800. This is likely shoutout to Uso 800 potion from ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}''.
* The military order that changes the fighting in Ishval from a Civil War to a War of Extermination is 30[[Film/RevengeOfTheSith 66]]. [[note]]It's "306" in the manga. The number can also be a reference to the order that led to the internment of Japanese American citizens in the United States, following the attack on Pearl Harbor[[/note]]
* The KonamiCode is visible on Fuery's locker in Chapter 47.
* The OverlyLongName gag in one of ''Brotherhood'''s {{omake}} shorts is a reference to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugemu Jugemu]], a Japanese folktale which has often been used in rakugo performances.
