D.Gray-man Chapter 222 Discussion

Everyone talking about cross being alive but..
The cross we saw was created by road ._.

First time in a long time that this storyline has finally started to make sense to me since Hoshino went to monthly releases.

What chapter is that , i don't remember i have seen that picture b4?



Chapt 58 'the destroyer of time' :)

What happend to lavi!!??

Loved it. I recall an interview where Hoshino stated Cross would appear in flashbacks with Nea's backstory, and be younger. So I was thinking we were gonna see that 1st while still not knowing his status. I definitely wasn't expecting to see him alive / active again so soon. Though, it has been 54 chapters before this revelation.



The chapters seemed like a good starting point for finding out some big information. An intro chapter basically that may lead into, or foreshadow, an upcoming arc.



I like Allen's resolve. he genuinely seems interested in helping others, and is probably the most selfless character in the manga. But it's nice he's trying to find more answers now and make more choices. In 167, he mentions not caring about the 14th and that he was walking for Mana. now, he seems more aware - he's not living just for Mana anymore. he's finding his own path, remembering promise he made to Lenalee, and now trying to find out what the deal is with Neah instead of blindly living for Mana. So seems he's looking at different sides now.



And loved Cross' speech to Allen where it was a bittersweet moment of him showing he cared, and openly admitting it (sorta) for once.  Hoshi did great with his expressions, where he looked a mix or respectful of Allen's resolve, but possibly more hurt that Allen is determined to fight the inevitable (far as he knows) and suffer, rather than living peacefully and out of the war for a bit.

Wait... did the new girl (Cornelia was it?) just confirm
Lavi is dead?!? No PLEASE no TT^TT LAVIIIIIII!!!!



Ugh... the feels in this chapter...had goosebumps whilst reading....another great chapter perfectly executed. Really cannot wait to see how this develops and see what is the other side to this war.



And a random thought,
since 'Cross' said that Allen being in those wheat fields means that the 14th has taken over him can we assume that wheat fields dream world is connected to this world:



As in before the 14th fully took over, the world was still relatively barren and even the details of Allen was not fully complete... but the 14th did sort of appear in this scene too to stop Allen from reaching out to Linalee.... if it is connected, I find Hoshino's planning for this story is impeccable! :D

It's great seeing Cross in the new art style. Looks really pretty!



ANNNNND....I refuse to believe that Lavi is dead, judging from what that Lucia girl said that Bookman no longer has a successor. He probably lost some sort of qualifications of being a Bookman after his scrimmage with the Noahs, thus being unable to be a successor...I hope. (^_^;)



I seriously hope you are right that Lavi just lost his qualifications. If he died, I would seriously scream until I coughed up blood. He just hit the right buttons for me and I loved his character! I told my friend who had a crush on Lavi about that line, and she was seriously upset.

And I can't wait for Allen's come back either, it is really exciting!



Could Lavi have been Bookman? Having no successor would then make sense.

Finally the plot is moving forward XD



What happened to Bookman and Lavi again?
