After watching the anime and rereding some chapters, I think the main Allen was the first bookman appreitance and probably a heart user too (and I think Johnny is also a heart user).



The Allen right now is a question, especialy that Apocryps want to free him from Allen....  so he wanted to free Allen from Red? Hmmm



Johnny a heart user? Really? xD  The theory about Allen being the previous bookman apprentice is quite credible and supported though.  And Apo wants to free him from Nea.

Finally this 1 Noah's abilities are revealed instead just teased.



and wait...Allen is returning but they are going to show what happened before that?

Discarab, you may actually be onto something. O_O I don't agree with the point about Allen being previous Bookman apprentice, the one the Noahs mentione Bookman had before Lavi - that's what you meant, right? I'm very sure that that Apprentice is dead.



But I agree with all other points. I'll post my thoughts and reasoning later on, today afternoon/evening, as I'm busy rn. :)



I thought he's the apprentice for a long time. Neah clearly knew Allen and  was surprised by his young appearance. Add to that Noah's hatred of humans and only way Neah would get close to one is them being a Bookman.

This chapter is amazing, but too short for a three month wait. Hoping the future chapters are more balance.

Back to the chapter, Allen is going to be back soon for now. Neah nad Link's conversation was funny and geting serious before Fiddler interfered. That short action sequences was simple, fast, epic and amazing. Fiddler is creepy but amazingly drawn. The Earl is free and Noah's seems to be retreating, most likely the Twins party as well. Man, seeing the Earl breaks down makes me sad. Poor guy, even though he's the main villain and evil of the series. This is one of the series where I actually get the feels from villain

With this chapter, it seems like this arc may nearing its end. Now waiting for Allen to get back his body, reunion with Johnny, Kanda's side, Noah's side with the captured Apo, Allen escaping the Order pursuit and set off to the mansion. Link most likely return to play ninja(hide again if Allen does not notice him upon his return).

This arc is amazing with some revelation and more questions but I think its actually taking too long, even without the hiatus. Also, any longer might be dragging the arc. Think its time for another arc. Probably around 2-3 chapters left for this arc. I'm curious how the next arc will play out.

yeah that was unexpectedly short

Johnny<333333

Earl-sama, please don't cry!

GDI I wanna know if Lavi is ok! But yaaay Allen stands a chance,good to know! And now the eternal wait for the next chapter

I feel like DGM is nearing its end

Dang short chapter kinda sucks at least we know Allen still has a chance to get his body back for good and we're going to get a lot of info about the the Noah's and their past in the upcoming chapter, particularly pertaining to Neah. Also it seems that Neah wants to kill all humans just like the rest of the noah clan so I suppose teaming up with him shouldn't be an option, but I feel like Malcom knows something we don't about Neah otherwise there wouldn't be a point in protecting Neah even if he is the lesser of two evils.



Tfw you have to wait 3 months for more answers... Hallow is not going to give me enough satisfaction to last me that long ;-;
