Episode 1 - The Blind Alchemist
Ed and Al hear of a
blind alchemist named Judau who had supposedly performed a successful human
transmutation. Meeting up with him, Judau reveals to Ed that a young girl named
Rosalie was resurrected through alchemy, with his eyes paid for in equivalent
exchange. However, the Madam refuses to teach Ed about the techniques used.
Rosalie leads Al to a room with a little girl's shrivelled corpse inside. She
reveals this as the result of the real Rosalie's transmutation, while she
herself is a girl named Amy, who was adopted due to her similar appearance to
Rosalie. As Ed arrives on the scene, the Madam tells him that her late husband
kept the truth about the transmutation failure from Judau, who truly wanted to
resurrect Rosalie. Ed and Al then leave, carrying this knowledge with them as
well.
Episode 2 - Simple People
While on their way back to Resembool to have Ed's arm repaired, Ed and Al buy earrings as souvenirs for Winry to prevent her from getting mad about the broken automail. Later on, Ed fights an assassin and his automail gets broken again, and he buys more earrings for Winry to avoid her wrath. Winry explains that she decided to pierce her ears after meeting Riza on the day Ed decided to become a State Alchemist. Meanwhile, Riza explains to her colleague that she grew her hair long after meeting Winry that same day. Her colleague comments on how simple a reason that is, and Riza says that reasons are always simple. To explain her choice, she remarks that they are all living in a simple world - where when they pull the trigger, their enemies die.

Episode 3 - Tales of the Master
Back when Izumi was 18, then known as Izumi Harnet, she travels to meet the alchemist Silver Steiner and request to be his apprentice. Giving her only a knife, he tells her to survive one month on Mt. Briggs before she can become his apprentice. On the second day, she is found by some of Briggs' guards, but manages to beat them and take their food rations. On the eighth day, she is close to starving to death, but then becomes motivated to survive. As she learns to defend herself and live off of the wildlife, she realizes the meaning behind alchemy: that one is all, and all is one. However, returning after a month, it is revealed she had been talking to Silver's older brother, Gold Steiner, who is not an alchemist but rather a hand-to-hand combat specialist. Annoyed, Izumi beats him and leaves. The OVA ends with an exaggerated look on the first meeting between Izumi and Sig.
