How could the story develop if Edward Elric becomes Pride in fanfiction?

If Edward Elric becomes Pride in fanfiction, it could lead to a really interesting plot twist. His alchemy skills might be warped in a new and dangerous way. Instead of using alchemy for good, like he usually does, he could start using it for Pride's more self - serving and malevolent purposes. Also, his physical form might change to something more in line with what Pride is like in the original story. This could make for some really intense fight scenes, especially if he has to face off against his former allies who now see him as a threat.

His character would become more complex. He'd have to grapple with the loss of his humanity, which was a big part of his identity. He might start to question his previous values and beliefs.

Well, it could mean Naruto would adopt Edward's sense of fashion. He might start wearing long red coats and black pants, just like Edward. In the fanfiction, Naruto could also learn about Edward's moral code. Edward has a strong sense of right and wrong when it comes to alchemy, and Naruto could use that to re - evaluate his own actions as a ninja. Maybe he would be more cautious about using certain jutsus that have a high cost or moral implications.

At first, Edward might be a bit resistant to Roy's attempts at adoption. But as time goes on, Roy shows his care and concern for Edward. He helps Edward with his problems, like dealing with the homunculi or his own self - doubt. Edward then starts to rely on Roy more, and their relationship deepens into a strong bond of family - like love.

Edward might meet his parents. Since he has the chance to go back in time, he could meet them when they were alive and perhaps learn more about alchemy from them, which could change his future actions.

In fanfiction where Edward Elric becomes a Homunculus, his appearance would likely change. He might have the characteristic red eyes of a Homunculus. His physical abilities would be enhanced, but at the cost of his humanity. He'd be more connected to the Homunculus' plans and goals, perhaps being forced to work against his former comrades. However, he could also use his new position to try and undermine the Homunculus from within, but it would be a difficult and dangerous path to take.

Another theme is redemption. In many fan fictions, Edward's pride has led him to make mistakes, and the story is about him making amends and growing past his over - prideful nature. It's about him learning to be more humble and accept help from others.

One more great plot could be Naruto being trained by Edward in alchemy. Edward is a brilliant alchemist despite his young age. Naruto, with his eagerness to learn new things, would soak up all the knowledge. He could start creating his own alchemical ninja tools. For example, he could make a kunai that can transmute into different forms depending on the situation. And as he gets better at alchemy, he might start to question his own ninja way. Is it really all that different from alchemy? This internal struggle could add a lot of depth to the fanfiction.

They could start by comparing their different worlds. Edward would explain about the principles of alchemy like equivalent exchange, while Urahara would talk about the Soul Society and the way spiritual power works. This exchange of knowledge could be the foundation for their relationship in the fanfiction.

Perhaps it's a story where Naruto has the same kind of tragic backstory as Edward. Maybe Naruto loses Sasuke in a way similar to how Edward lost his mother and brother's body. So Naruto starts to study alchemy in the hope of getting Sasuke back. Along the way, he meets Edward and they learn from each other's experiences and fighting styles, and together they face the challenges in both their worlds.
