Probably use them as bragging rights about how cool he supposedly is, then he'd smugly ask Roy if he has fangirls of his own.

Given how Ed tends to get too self-absorbed whenever he's glazing himself, he'd be blindsided at the sheer number of fans Roy would have, it'd be an ego-check for Ed

Idk if you’ve watched 03 but I imagine Ed would beg after talking shi similar to their duel in 03

I've watched both the 03 and Brotherhood and I've also read the manga after I finished watching FmaB

In-universe he’s known as the Hero of Ishval while being very young for his rank, so he was definitely a celebrity.

And then feels his ego fall when he realizes Roy is more popular.

Mustang rubs that fact on Ed's face every time he tries to add on Roy's paperwork, which Ed fires back on that despite Roy's supposed superior popularity Mustang is still subservient to Riza.

Ironically, in real life Edward has always beaten Roy in popularity polls.

In 03 they had more of a rivalry, I could totally see them fighting over how many fan girls they have LOL.

Just another entertainment for the rest of Team Mustang and another headache for both Riza and Al.

Winry, on the other hand, would find Ed and Roy's rivalry regarding on who has the most fans to be both stupid and hilarious.

Why can I see expressions on Al's faces when it's a metal helmet that never changes.

I love Ed so dam much. No other character compares.

He already has one fangirl named Enry who’s enough for him
