* EasyAmnesia: Greed still hasn't recovered all or even most of his memories from his first life. Even a stroll down to the Devil's Nest doesn't bring anything back. Author notes seem to indicate he'll never get them all back thanks to Father's memory-wipe on him, and that the little he ''does'' remember is only his first incarnation's friendship with the Devil's Nest gang through the sheer [[ThePowerOfFriendship Power of Friendship]].

* KarmicTransformation: While not intended to be the case, becoming a human is definitely this for Envy, who took delight in tormenting humans. Fittingly, he also has the worst time adjusting, as his reliance on his powers means that, unlike his siblings, Envy has no skills without them and even struggles with basic things like hygiene.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Envy, due being a TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter all his life, can barely deal with clothing period and will only put up with what he wore as a homunculus. Thus, much to everyone else's ire, he detests shoes and refuses to wear them for any reason.

This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: A ''LOT'' of this occurs.
** For starters, the Homunculi can be brought back without human transmutation because they weren't human to begin with and their souls work differently. All of them except ''Wrath'', who was originally human himself.
** When Envy asks Selim why he didn't just try to avenge them and their father after his memories returned, Selim reminds him of all the reasons why that wouldn't work--he no longer has his powers, his body is that of a small human child and the government was already watching his every move to make absolutely sure he doesn't relapse. Additionally, there was no way he could try and recreate Father's plan on his own, again, in his weak, powerless body and with government security being tighter than it ever has been.
** When Envy tries to call out the Elrics for being stupid to trust him or his newly revived siblings and suggests that they'll try to kill them for revenge, Ed calls his bluff and Envy quickly realizes that he outclassed--Ed is still a strong fighter even without his alchemy, Al still has alchemy and will almost certainly retaliate if they hurt his brother and Greed is siding with the Elrics and still plenty powerful even without his Ultimate Shield. Conversely, Lust no longer has her Ultimate Spear, Gluttony and Sloth are both useless without their bottomless stomach and super speed/strength respectively and Envy himself was only ever capable of fighting when he could shapeshift, which he is no longer capable of, meaning that the Elrics are at an advantage no matter what.

* BrotherSisterIncest: True to their scene together in the source material, Lust and Greed start flirting and commenting on each other's attractiveness as soon as they meet proper, despite Greed no longer remembering their previous interactions in his first incarnation. Lust doesn't intend to actually act on it because she finds more pleasure in stringing him along and making him look foolish, and none of the other homunculi care since that's how Lust and Greed have always acted with each other.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Discussed. Greed wonders if, had he taken a different route to Father during the Promised Day and found Envy, would he have saved his younger brother or left him to die? Greed likes to think he would have stopped Mustang, but he isn't sure.

* NoSell: One of the few things that doesn’t piss Envy off is making fun of him for nudity. He's quite proud of the body he made for himself and doesn't get why he should be ashamed if people can see it, especially since he was a lizard monster that was always naked. Calling him ugly however, is a [[BerserkButton different story]].

* DePower: The premise of the story is that the homunculi have been resurrected as humans, now lacking their powers. The main issue for them is the lack of regeneration, but exactly how well they adjust varies.
** Greed adapts fairly easily due to being a good fighter and already supporting humans, though he still trains given his typical style of attack largely depended on his HealingFactor.
** Gluttony can now feel full without his bottomless stomach and isn't constantly hungry, but is also sad without his keen sense of smell and taste as he can’t smell Lust and food isn’t as good.
** Lust has no fighting capability without her Ultimate Spear, but her seduction abilities are still as sharp as ever, though she is now able to look worn out and ragged without proper care.
** Sloth, as usual, does not really care.
