It's the same thing, a cult wants to revive someone who they worship in Ninjago, while in FMA, it's the Elric Brothers who wants to revive their mom.

It's just a huge ripoff to me.

That doesn't make any sense at all. I recommend you broaden the media you watch if you think resurrection has literally never been in anything else before. The creators of Ninjago are middle aged people, I doubt they watch anime.

Besides, if you think this is a rip off, which it isn't, what about the obvious Star Wars parallels?
