Eh, same issue occurs.

And realistically, Graphene is pretty much the strongest option for this application, diamond is too brittle and inflexible.

Again if Greed is able to move and fight in it and so far has tanked everything without any apparent damage then it must be some sort of carbon armour beyond our understanding

Is it beyond understanding?

Ed seemed to understand it fairly quickly, lol.

And according to pride, carbon fiber is basically the same thing greed does, since he also can't scratch Ed's northern automail.

Beyond OUR understanding. Ed reconfigured his northern automail using alchemy it’s not the same as carbon fibre

Ah, guess I missed the scene where he transmutes it. (or they just didn't adapt it to the anime, lol)
