[Fullmetal Alchemist] Which one's the REAL Alphonse? The one in the armor, or the one in White Space?
Remember Barry the Chopper? There's two versions of him, the one bound to the armor, and the one that is a walking flesh. I assumed that Flesh Barry was just a poor monkey's soul that was forcefully bound to Barry's body. However, when Flesh Barry removes the seal off of Armor Barry, both the Flesh Barry and the Armor Barry... dies, but why? is Flesh Barry the real Barry? If he is the real Barry, why are their personalities so different? If he is not the real Barry, why did both of them die when he licks the seam off of Armor Barry?
Now let's talk about Al. While we may assume that Flesh Al and Armor Al are one and the same, Armor Al and Flesh Al are technically two different entities, each of them having a mind of their own. They can act independently without the other acknowledging what they do, heck they have even talked to each other. But how? Assuming Flesh Al and Armor Al are the same character, how can one soul occupy two spaces? And since it's pretty much confirmed that Flesh Al isn't a monkey in human clothing, does that imply that Flesh Al is the real Al? Or is it Armor Al? Or is it Flesh Al? What?
Which one's the real Al?
