Referring to the 2003 anime FMA, what is the exact process to creating an
Homunculus? I haven't watched the anime in a little while but if this makes
sense I am looking for the ingredients that are put together to make an
Homunculus in the 2003 anime.

I do remember that Edward used the composition of what the human body was made
of but other than that I can't remember exactly what the ingredients (if this
makes sense) on what Homunculi are created from.

For some reason I remember that you need the persons flesh that you are trying
to bring back for human transmutation but cannot remember where I heard this
from and I am pretty sure Edward didn't do this when he tried to bring back
his mother.

If you don't get the question think about how a salad is made and think of it
as if I am asking what ingredients go into it to make it a salad if this makes
sense.

Answers are appreciated. :)

In the 2003 anime FMA, what are the ingredients for making Homunculi?


I'd assume it be mostly the same with every homunculus since they are created
from failed attempts at Human Transmutation which in most cases is bring
someone back to life, that being said the Human Composition that can be
brought with a child's allowance is probably the collection of ingredients
that are used.

We can from the series confrim what was used as material for 2 of them, they
are

  * **Sloth** (Ed's and Al's mother) - the human composition Ed and Al read up on which during the process we hear Ed rep.

  * **Wrath** (Izumi's child) - Izumi used her child's body as material and it was reborn as a homunculus (it was still wrapped in the sheets Izumi had it in)

as for the rest, i can only make these assumptions.

Gluttony was purposely created by Dante to use the Philosopher's Stone so he
may have been created differently using different materials which would be
compatible with the stone, in the movie he also shoots out Red Stones so _Red
Water_ may have been used.

Not sure about Pride or Greed on how they were made so it's not entirely sure
what their Material was.

Lust was the lover of Scar's Brother and since he was a heretic already for
doing Alchemy in the first place so he may have exhumed her body though it's
never clear if he studied the same line of Alchemy Ed and Al used (Ishbal
seems to have a similar thing to Alchemy which developed the Grand Arcanum to
transmute a Philosopher's stone).

Envy was Dante's and Hohenhiem's son so we could assume the material for him
was either his own remains or the same composition Ed and Al used for Sloth
though there might have been something else in Envy which caused his
transformation into a dragon when he passed though the gate (though this could
have been because of his powers which he was using to try and get the game to
take him to Hohenhiem)

The human body composition you were looking for is detailed in a quote on a
Wikipedia page.

> Water: 35 l. Carbon: 20 kg. Ammonia: 4 l. Lime: 1.5 kg. Phosphorus: 800 g.
> Salt: 250 g. Saltpeter: 100 g. Sulfur: 80 g. Fluorine 7.5 g. Iron 5 g.
> Silicon 3 g. and trace amounts of 15 other elements.

However, this excludes the part of the alchemist that is creating the
homunculus.
