D.Gray-man Chapter 220 Discussion

...Wow...14th really is Mind-Fucking with Earl by just revealing some facts. "Truth Hurts" huh.



....Oh...Hell....So....Earl, Mana and Nea are different Identities...and Now Earl erased Mana...I say that this is birth of the more Brutal Earl....War will become more bloody from here on.



and Allen was captured huh...next chapter will be most interesting

Damn! The mirror part was insane. All dem crazy faces that "Mana"/Earl made O_o



So much craziness.

                        Hmm, so it looks like Mana, Nea, and the Earl are separate entities. Poor Mana, I can feel the pain there..D:



Good to see more of D Gray Man. I wish more chapters came out often.



I wish was atleast a monthly manga. And only 41 pages for a seried that release every 3 month? But I guess it can't be helped since the mangaka is still not fully recovered.

Ah, pure insanity, the kind of boundary pushing I like to see in my shounen.



I really liked the conflict presented with Link, a great depiction of another Gray-man.



So, I think my fears from the last chapter were fortunately squashed with the whole mirror scene, with a bit that I'd kinda expected and a good bit I didn't.



Mana devouring Nea was a nice surprise, and the perfect explanation for Mana returning to the 'default' Millennium Earl. Gets rid of the 'replicated Earl' theory that felt shaky(still doesn't explain the panel with Mana holding Nea as the Earl attacks him..just symbolism?) And what I really liked was that it took the route I was hoping for, Mana being swallowed by his Noah memories(after devouring Nea), and losing himself to his guilt to the point he subconsciously renounced his name within "The Earl". That guilt allowed what I'm assuming to be the consciousness of Adam within(aware of both Mana/Nea, and every other normal Earl) to take control, reverting "The Earl" to a default,(hinted at last chapter by Wisely) swallowed by Noah memories and blind, insane desire to destroy the Heart and invoke the "Three Days of Darkness". So Adam throws both "Mana" and "Nea" away from "The Earl", which brings us to Allen and the Mana that raised him, a hollow, grief-crippled and confused shell(Which means the Akuma-Mana plothole is filled already, sasuga Hoshino-sensei!)



And even more verification on why The Millennium Earl began to feel strange upon meeting Allen. Not because of Allen/Nea at all(well obviously eventually this is the case) but because "Mana" must have returned to "The Earl" after being resurrected and destroyed by Allen. A perfect silver lining for Allen's character, as well as a nice coincidental slap in the face to Adam and his default Earl.



The shitty side of all this is that it all still points to a bad end for Allen. Unless, somehow when "Mana" becomes fully assimilated with The Earl(whatever that will look like), Allen is able to reach him as his Mana, trumping Nea and Mana's connection. Seems a bit too shounen though.



I could see the remainder of DGM chapters spent simply explaining how all this works...

hey man what's up with hoshino being stoned as fuck

the opiate has destroyed her youthful face

is this the end of evangelion or some shit?

Holy shit!  That was intense!!  I knew the Earl was nuts, but now I totally understand why.  My eyes grew wider than saucers when he blew his face off.



Damn that cliffhanger!!!  Is A.W. even still A.W. anymore?

I think Allen was Bookman's first apprentice, it explains how he met Neah and Mana.

I'm confused as hell... but poor Allen, seems like he's really a normal boy unfortunately caught in the midst of Mana-Nea brothers feud, 220 chapters and we're still not getting close to who 'Allen' really is. Even his name isn't his...



Now what to do for the next three months...

Could it be possible that when Mana cursed Allen for turning him into an akuma, the curse had something to do with how Nea became a part of Allen? I can't wait to get some more answers in future chapters.

I wouldn't say he's a normal boy just yet. You're forgetting the part where Nea questioned why he doesn't remember him and why he was a boy again.

There's still a big plot gap waiting to be filled around Allen. He's a big mystery right now.

Holy info dump.



But it's finally nice to find out what the Millenium Earl really is. But then the cockblock cliffhanger by the Black Order. Goddammit.

My theory  it's that I think Allen don't remember his old self and his promesse with Nea because of Apocryphos and his power, like when Kanda was touch by his power and that memories was effaced and recreated.



And we know in the scans Cross said:



"When we first met he wasn't called "Allen" Should've realized that mistake sooner". (chap 203 page 16).



And you know in the novel Allen called himself Red, why Red?

She don't remember the past or that name.



Maybe Apocryphos has transplanted the innocence in the arm of Allen and he recreated his memory.



( When Neah is awakened and he saw his face in the mirror he's shocked to see the innocence in the arm of Allen,and you know that the old - Allen was friend with Neah, Neah must to know that the old Allen don't have a innocence)



But there are something I can't understand if the earl was separated for the first time in two.

There's never was 14th at first so why the memories of Noah reacts to 14th?



I think all we know about D gray man it's WRONG, maybe the "Heart" don't save anything but destroy everything and  Exorcists don't save anything BUT the noah save everything



( ALSO what is the " D " in the title of the manga?! we know that the last name of mana and neah is D.CAMPBELL but the title is " D GRAY MAN " maybe Allen is a

" D "
