Who Would Win in a Fight: Edward Elric or Naruto?

Having watched both shows, I might as well answer this question. Let's conduct an analysis of their abilities and compare the strongest versions of both heroes to determine who would be the victor.

Comparing Speeds

Let's start by assessing the speeds of both characters. In Part One of Naruto Shippuden, Naruto demonstrates incredible speed, capable of scaling above sound and even surpassing the legendary taijutsu master, Rock Lee, in a heated confrontation. There are also instances where Naruto reacts to and knocks out Neji, making him move almost at the speed of lightning from a blindspot.

Edward Elric, on the other hand, has demonstrated impressive speed as well, with his younger brother often able to blitz through bullets and Edward himself capable of evading bullets in Fullmetal Alchemist. While Edward's speed isn't quite at the same level as Naruto's, he is still able to move around bullets, indicating a high-speed capability relative to a mid-level opponent.

Evaluating Strengths and Abilities

Naruto's Strength and Abilities: Naruto is a Jinchuriki, hosting the Nine-Tail Bijou, Kurama. According to the show, the Nine-Tail can handle fights against other tailed beasts, such as Shukaku. Furthermore, in one instance, even Gamabunta, who can compete with tailed beasts, is unable to keep Kurama in place during Naruto's Chibaku Tensei technique.

Edward Elric's Strength and Abilities: Edward possesses immense alchemical power, with the ability to withstand attacks from the powerful 'Father' in Fullmetal Alchemist. He can also channel energy blasts that can destroy large portions of a city. However, his alchemical skills and his Philosopher's Stone, which grants additional power, do not fully close the gap in terms of raw strength.

Concluding the Battle

It is evident that the disparity in power and abilities between Naruto and Edward makes the fight an easy win for Naruto. Even if Edward utilized his full Philosopher's Stone power, it would not suffice to counteract Naruto’s immense strength and regeneration. Furthermore, Naruto's summoning abilities and regeneration can easily overwhelm Edward, who is facing a much larger, more powerful opponent.

In conclusion, Naruto wins this fight decisively, given his superior strength, speed, and resilience. Whether it's through his Rasengan, summoning techniques, or his ability to regenerate during battle, Naruto’s power far surpasses that of Edward Elric. This analysis affirms that Naruto would easily triumph in the face of Edward Elric.
