Versus Battle Fullmetal Alchemist vs One Piece
- Thread starter Light D Lamperouge
- Start date
FMA is a lot tighter here. Falls apart in the final act a bit but otherwise it's a pretty excellent story.
FMA. Roy Mustang sweeps.
One Piece. It has a wealth of side characters that Oda characterizes well enough in short periods of time.
Fuhrur Bradley, Kimblee, Greed and Envy are about on par with the best of OP (Doflamingo, Enel, Crocodile for me). So tie.
One Piece. Lot of goofy ass designs but you also got some really creative and cool ones. FMA is a lot safer in its designs.
Alchemy is alright, nothing that I ever captured me. Devil Fruits are a lot cooler. Haki is at best middling. So, OP takes it.
Probably FMA? First half of the series is rife with mystery that really sucks you in. OP's got fun arcs but it also has a lot of bad or middling arcs.
100% FMA lol.
Haven't read FMA in awhile so I can't judge too well. Neutral.
One Piece, FMA doesn't do anything crazy.
One Piece, FMA is essentially a fascist Germany with Italian, American and formerly Arabic neighbors with fantasy China across a desert.
OP has a lot more to its world building even when it heavily borrows from the real world.
Hmmmm. Tie.
While I liked FMA a lot and I think it's a better story, upon rereads it does get less special to me. OP's a lot more enjoyable, the action is more my speed and it's simpler to read and enjoy.

YOU GIVE ME A TOO BIG CHALLANGE TO COMPARE THEM, I'M A GIGANTIC FAN OF BOTH- SHIT!
Pretty much this. Asking "Which one is better: FMA or OP?" is like asking "Which one would you rather eat for free: A Royal Set Sushi King or an instant noodle in a nearby supermarket?" 
But, alright, since @Light D Lamperouge and @RayanOO invited me here, the least I could do is be courteous and answer the questions:
1. Plot
FMA for obvious reasons: no tension-free journey, actual character developments, no abandoned plot points because a non-canon film is gonna be released soon, clear motivations for the characters, and a satifying ending to boot.
2. Main characters
Edward is a very, very flawed dude, and I have to admit that he was much less likable than Luffy was initially. But, now that his story has ended, I can safely say that his journey was worth following.
I can't really say the same about Picture Perfect Pirate Jesus.
3. Side characters
FMA, because I actually care about what was going to happen to most of them.
Only side characters in OP that I like are Zoro, Mihawk, and the Admirals. I don't give a shit what happens to the rest.
4. Villains
OP's best (aka Doffy) is very clearly outnumbered by FMA's best (Tucker, Bradley, and Kimblee).
5. Character designs
FMA character design makes them fit their personality, OP depends on how goofy they would look in a gag.
6. Power system
FMA has no power system, so this goes to OP's poorly written power system by defeault.
7. Story arcs
FMA hands down, and I believe no explanation is necessary.
8. Incorporation of themes
The themes FMA handled well far surpass the themes OP handled well (if there's even any at this point).
9. Art
Gee, badass vs goofy. I wonder who this goes to.
10. Imagery
Self-explanatory, really.
11. Panelling
The fluidity of Arakawa's panelling is well-known, so I am not going to insult her work by comparing it to Lolda's.
12. Originality
Another messiah chosen one story vs The Greatest Sci-fi Manga Ever written?
13. World building
OP wins, obviously.
14. Characterization
Seriously?
15. Enjoyment
Final Verdict:
FMA 13 - 2 OP, in a brutal blowout.
If you wanna compare OP to some other series, compare it to generic Shounen series like Bleach, Naruto, Fairy Tail, and the likes. Don't compare it to literal GOAT-level series ala FMA, JJBA, CSM, SXF, etc. because you're just asking OP to get murderstomped by doing that.
