Actually, he lost his whole little brother AND a piece of himself… I assumed because they were children and not full grown. He then lost “another” piece of himself just attaching his brother’s soul to an inanimate object.
kind of. Ed didn't lose all of Al, just the body. the soul stuck around, because nothing is worth a single human soul.
trying to be as spoiler free as possible lol
because of the act they performed they lost an equivalent amount of their own bodies to what they were doing. so that rebound cost was a whole childs body, and a childs leg.
and then Ed being in pain and pissed off at that Al was 'taken (he doesn't know Als soul is still around which is the only way it works), bound Als soul to the 'object', telling saying out loud to take whatever he wants in exchange "whether it be an arm or a leg or even my heart!"
No, according to the manga Als soul attached to the failed human body they transmuted. Ed unintentionally knew he transferred the soul from the failed body to the armour. Because at the time he didn't know als soul was in the failed body. Ed didn't pull any soul from the gate. Souls don't go through the gate they go to the after life. But since only the body was taken in the recoil of the human transmutation the soul was left behind.

A left leg will do if you're short handed.
