D.Gray-man Chapter 218 Discussion

Haha, the last time I read DGM was pretty long time ago... Forgot who is Nea :'D And da fuq just happend? What's actually happening, what's this story about? And omg, why is Earl a bishie? Damn, Hoshino, what have u done to DGM? I'm sooooo confused xD

I will just wait in a corner until they explain everything ( will it even  happen?)

@taydev ~ Well this is very distressing news! I really hope Hoshino gets better, she has been struggling with this illness for quite awhile. I'll be sure to definitely keep her in my prayers. Her DGM series is fascinating and the most interesting, twisted, yet confusing (lol) story I've had the pleasure of reading. But it also explains why there hasn't been a release in quite a bit, despite the monthly norm. Sadly, its disappointing to be unable to continue reading this awesome series. I was, and I'm pretty sure everyone else, was looking forward to reaching a conclusion to the story.  



@whitetear ~ The DGM arc was just getting interesting, very confusing, but compelling and as much as I love its plot twist, I'm just as lost ^^;; Your theory of the Earl/Mana/Neah/Allen connection really does put these MANY puzzle pieces of the plot together and helps clarify things, a lil'. Even if the story may not head in that direction, I'll definitely keep yours in mind. I guess the question that will remain out there for awhile is: What is Allen's true connection to the Earl, Mana, and Neah and his purpose? What was the root cause of all this chaos between Noahs and why? And how will this all effect the Order (with the Apocryos, Cardinals, Generals n all) and the world?



Wide range questions, I know, but one can only wonder with a story as interesting as this.  (^^)

By the time I finish the anime I'm reading the manga, is it good?

Well both Nea and Mana looked a like ....I could see it now but if Nea(Allen) is Mana, then the Earl killed the real Nea and Mana just totally forgot?

I want Cross to explain NOW I am confused until now

I guessed Road protected. Mana instead of Nea ?Man where is Road when you need her

Lots of artists have either improved or changed their style during the course of a series and people are able to adjust. In this case I think the problem is really people forgetting things due to hiatuses, and faulty translations. Because seriously, I could probably mention a few of things that people here probably don't even know about or have the wrong impression of due to certain scanlations out there...

No, Allen isn't Mana. He might have a small piece of Mana's soul/consciousness in his "cursed" eye though. :)

Yes, Jasdevi does but they're twins. Mana Campbell's brother was Nea. Can you explain a little more about why you feel they need to be two people? I already gave you some points (two posts ago) explaining how Mana and the Earl (human face) have similar features in their appearance, and the Earl (in ch 187) remembers what should be past Mana's memories. You haven't answered those points.



I think Mana's childhood illness (ch 214 flashback) was a sign he was going to become the Earl. There is a lot of emphasis on whether Mana will ever wake up, while little Nea is talking to their mother. Prior to that, in chapter 203, Apocryphos warned Link not to let Allen fall asleep or he would never wake up as himself. Later, in chapter 212, Allen falls asleep and Johnny says it's not a "normal sleep," but that he must be "fighting with the 14th's memory." It's not conclusive but it's a strong sign Mana might have been fighting the Earl's memory even from childhood.
