About this converter
Edward Elric is short on purpose. Hiromu Arakawa drew him at 149 cm so the armor of his younger brother Alphonse towers over him, and the height gag runs through the whole manga. The adults anchor the scale: Roy Mustang at 173, Riza Hawkeye at 167, Winry Rockbell at 163, Scar at 187 and Alex Louis Armstrong at 212. Xing adds range with Ling Yao at 170 and the child May Chang at 130. Every figure here comes from the official Profiles book, the Square Enix Character Guide or the manga height chart, so the table matches the art instead of guessing from it.
How to use it
Pick two characters and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Armstrong against May Chang. The unit box converts the height to centimeters, meters or feet and inches.
Edward has three numbers and all three are official. Profiles list 149 cm. The volume 2 extras joke that 165 cm counts his boots and hair antenna, with a true height of 141 cm. By the final chapter he stands about 173 cm, taller than Winry. Alphonse rows the armor at about 213 cm, not a body. Homunculus true forms stay out: Envy, Gluttony, Pride and Father shift shape, so no fixed height exists for them.
