This paper analyzes the Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR) dubbing of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009), produced by Unidub São Paulo for RedeTV! and later streaming platforms. Unlike many dubs that suffer from translation loss, the PT-BR version is widely celebrated by Brazilian fans for its cultural adaptation, emotional fidelity, and character voice matching. This study compares key scenes from the original Japanese audio with the PT-BR dub, focusing on three pillars: (1) localization of humor and dramatic weight, (2) preservation of character essence (e.g., Edward Elric’s hot-headedness vs. Alphonse’s gentleness), and (3) the handling of otaku terminology versus naturalized Brazilian speech. Findings indicate that the PT-BR dub succeeds because it prioritizes communicative equivalence over literal translation, using regional colloquialisms (e.g., "Meu Deus do céu") without disrespecting the source material.
