D.Gray-man Chapter 221 Discussion

Finally, another awesome chapter!!!xD

The Earl turns back to crazy puppet again.

Nea being saved by Link and their interaction is very funny. Love how Nea pretend to be Allen but fail lol. Nea can be very scary at times but can also be funny too.

Oh this wasn't what i was expecting to happen  this chapter. I was expecting to somehow catch the 14, to drag him to the orden and everyone to express their feelings about the hole situation. Some will believe that's Allen, some won't. Some will try to kill him instantly, some will try to protect him, scandals will occur, on top of that Apocryphos may appear too and so one... Well, another 3 months then.

So the whole point of this chapter was Link, joining force with Nea and revealing a bit about Allen's life (so he was some kind of scientist doctor I think, maybe he made some kind of experiments to get to these conclusions he had about the body and soul)

I couldn't be more disappointed in Link. He really is nothing but Leverrier's loyal lapdog to so quickly offer up his services to the 14th =_=



But at last, he can NOW show  he wishes for Allen to win which can be seen as Link starting to have feelings of his own. Maybe in the long run, we might see him disagreeing wih Leverrier and siding with Allen.



Even through is taking WAY TOO LONG for this arc to end and i wished for everyone to be reunited again, i don´t think Katsura-sensei is going back to weekly or even monthly releases.



I prefer the trimestral release type. This way the burden in her is lighter, and we don´t have to fear another long hiatus, or worse.Being a magaka is REALLY time counsuming, and there are cases like Naoki Urasawa (the weight of his body deslocated his shoulder and deformed his skeleton).



How does him welcoming the 14th like that show him he wishes for Allen to come back? So far he's being nothing but a loyal mechanical lapdog.



At least he´s having doubts about the 14th loyal dog mission =D. It´s a start. Just because he still do what he´s told, doesn´t  means he doesn´t care for Allen.

Allen is gone? The 14th Nea will take his place for now! Link and Allen(Nea) joining forces. Art is amazing as always! I hope this becomes a monthly manga atleast, in the near future and then maybe afterwards a weekly manga? If Hoshino-Sensei feels better.

So Nea pretty much confirmed what I thought last chapter in that Mana simply "went insane". "Killing" Nea pretty much broke him and as a way to deal with guilt he rejected his self as "someone else" so he has someone to blame for his own actions.

d will help Allen out the moment he wrestles control back from Nea.

I doubt it will be as simple as that. At best Nea and Allen might become a single person.





Sparteh said:
Am I the only one who thinks that Allen and 14th are a bit similar (actions, expressions)?



Not just you. I would not be surprised if to deal with what Mana did, Nea did the same thing as Mana - as in deluding himself into being someone else - in this case, someone he most likely knew back then

I'd argue that Allen isn't dead:








His current transformation into the 14th wasn't due to him killing anyone.





He meant Allen killing Mana.



It's not the original text, but Cross does say "you will," so that leads me to believe it hasn't happened yet. In fact, the whole sentence seems to be talking about the future?

For a chapter that's released once every three months, there's not much information...



Oh well, the art is beyond beautiful tho! Link being loyal to the 14th does explain some of the stuff he did when Allen was still... Allen. It's making it more depressing to know the good things he did for Allen were only because he's the 14th. And here I was hoping Link would be another potential ally for Allen after Kanda and Johnny.



This manga is so damn sad and depressing. I mean, so few characters genuinely care about Allen and appreciate him as Allen, not the 14th or the blahblahDestroyer of Timeblahblah... Does Allen even exist? Here's me hoping, really, really hoping Sensei won't pull a Pandora Hearts route...



Kanda was the worst person to send after Allen. He fucked up hard and Johnny is fucking worthless



Kanda is one of only few people who have been proven to be on Allen's side AND has no ties to the order or people in order that would suffer if things were to go wrong.



He's also the reason why the 14th woke up even more need I remind you



Won't that makes it an even better reason for the author to redeem him by going after Allen?

Neah's end goal is killing the Millennium Earl, Allen turning into 14th would mean killing Mana, the person he loves most, with his own hands.

Crossing fingers for Lenalee running into him next and beating Neah out of his body.



Or Road since she is stronger than Lenalee  and it seems she hate Neah



Doubt we're going to see Road any time soon.
