Gate of Truth

Item from Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa

A metaphysical portal that appears during forbidden human transmutation — it grants the alchemist total knowledge of alchemy while extracting an equivalent toll from their body or abilities.

Also known as: The Gate, Gate of Truth, The Portal

What They Know

• Those who pass through gain the ability to transmute without a circle — but pay with a body part: Edward lost limbs, Mustang lost sight, Izumi lost organs
• Each person's Gate is unique to them — Edward ultimately sacrificed his own Gate to retrieve Alphonse, permanently losing his alchemy
• Truth — a white silhouette — sits before the Gate and enforces the cosmic law of Equivalent Exchange
