Can someone explain to me what this is and what you're talking about? I have no clue about what the hell is going on right now.
The original scene is from Fullmetal Alchemist. An anime set in a universe where alchemy is real, and is badass. The creature in the picture is a human chimaera, which are illegal, as is all forms of human alchemy. Basically an alchemist working secretly for the government had created a series of these animals, the last successful one involving his wife. This time around instead of using his wife, he alchemically fused his daughter with her dog, to create this chimaera.
She was later obliterated by the early antagonist named Scar.
In this series Alchemy follows these three steps"
Comprehension - Understanding the inherent structure and properties of the atomic or molecular makeup of a particular material to be transmuted, including the flow and balance of potential and kinetic energy within.
Deconstruction - Using energy to break down the physical structure of the identified material into a more malleable state so as to be easily reshaped into a new form.
Reconstruction - Continuing the flow of energy so as to reform the material into a new shape.
And equivalent exchange which is broken into two parts:
The Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that energy and matter can neither be created from nothing nor destroyed to the point of elemental nonexistence. In other words, to create an object weighing one kilogram, at least one kilogram of material is necessary and destroying an object weighing one kilogram would reduce it to a set of parts, the sum of which would weigh one kilogram.
The Law of Natural Providence, which states that an object or material made of a particular substance or element can only be transmuted into another object with the same basic makeup and properties of that initial material. In other words, an object or material made mostly of water can only be transmuted into another object with the attributes of water.
Summarised - "In order to obtain or create something, something of equal value must be lost or destroyed."
Scar has a Transmutation Array tattoo'd across his arm, which stops at the destruction shape, pretty much giving his right arm the ability to destroy anything it touches.
