Talk:Aang VS Edward Elric/@comment-31867538-20190703204731

Most of us already know what Aang can do. He can bend the four elements and do the things associated with them, such as ice manipulation, Toph's Seismic Sense and lightning redirection. I have a decent knowledge of Ed's abilities, so I'm going to list some of the abilities that you might not know about.

Ed uses alchemy, that's a no brainer. He usually uses it to create weapons, spikes and hands from stone and metal. However, he has some other abilities as well. He has transmuted elements other than stone and metal, such as water, but he only did this a few times and even then he only turned the water into alcohol and heated it. He has also never transmuted air, so that's an advantage for Aang.

Ed also learned some abilities from his fights with other alchemists. I can't remember if he did any of these during the anime, but he did perform these abilities during the manga, which is what I'm going off of here. He learned destruction alchemy from Scar, which allows him vaporize solid matter. He also learned a technique called the Ultimate Armor from Greed, which allows him to manipulate the carbon in his automail to create armor around his arm. He also learned a technique from Armstrong where he punches the ground and shoots stone spikes, but he can also use this technique to create stone gauntlets around his arms to protect himself and increase his striking strength.

Hope this helped if the research team read this. :)
