The last known user of the Grand Arcanum was the old Ishvalan exile seen in Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), Episode 36, "The Sinner Within." The Ishvalan exile then taught the forbidden art to Scar’s brother who used it to revive his love, accidentally creating Lust from the souls of the deceased Ishvalans. This taboo dates back to the 2003 anime-exclusive Ishvalan branch of alchemy called, "Grand Arcanum." Once an Ishvalan has been seen practicing alchemy, they are exiled and shunned from society. The implications of being found practicing alchemy are severe as well. Since Ishvalans believe that only the earth god Ishvala should be able to "breathe life" into inanimate objects, alchemy is considered to be heretical. In the 2003 series, Ishvalans make it repeatedly clear that alchemy goes against the teachings of Ishval.

While recovering from his injuries, he accepted Major Miles' and General Armstrong's invitation to rebuild Ishval and restore its culture. In Brotherhood, Scar managed to mortally wound King Bradley and survive the final battle.

In the movie Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa it is revealed that both Lust and Scar's Earthen counterparts are alive and traveling as Roma.
Realizing he had no other choice, Scar used the last of his power to complete the city-wide transmutation circle and create a Philosopher's Stone within Alphonse to save him. Scar was then fatally shot by an Amestrian soldier while protecting Lust.

In a final battle of the 2003 series against Alphonse and Scar, Kimblee used the last of his strength to transmute Alphonse into a living bomb. With the overwhelming power of the state alchemists, the Ishvalans were slaughtered and forced into refuge across the country. The war reached its climax with King Bradley’s issuance of Order 3066 which drafted all state alchemists to the front lines of the war. Thanks in part to the familiar terrain, supply of weapons from neighboring countries, and guerilla tactics the Ishvalans managed to fight the Amestrian soldiers to what seemed like a stalemate. The Ishvalans retaliated, and it was not long before the war broke out. In Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, the Civil War started when Envy (disguised as an Amestrian soldier) shot and killed a child. In the 2003 anime, the homunculi’s goal was to create enough despair that someone would feel compelled to create and use a Philosopher’s Stone. The homunculi’s goal in starting the Civil War in Brotherhood is different than in the original. The Ishvalans began to riot and King Bradley used Eastern Soldiers to forcefully suppress them and raise tensions. In Fullmetal Alchemist, the Ishvalan Civil War was started when an elite team of Amestrian soldiers raided an Ishvalan temple and slaughtered the monks inside.
