D.Gray-man Chapter 225 Discussion

Hum? Allen's current growth  is normal. Though I think Nea's power may be involved with Allen 's rejuvenation





Also, I think the helix of life is not a person but something that is in every living being. It may very well be DNA , maybe the first discoveries about it as Past Allen seemed to be some kind of scientist.

Nea was trying to use the Innocence but Johnny ruined everything.

What a gorgeous and delicious artwork chapter!!!xD

Earl and Wisely finally left.

Tyki stay and trying to invite Nea but got rejected badly.

It seems like the reincarnated form about Tyki that Nea mentioned is most likely the one from Noah Ark's (black form).

Fiddler seems to be a funny Noah. LOL hard when he say he want to go eat already!!! So carefree!!!xD

Nea's trying to activate Innocence, but before that happen, Johnny called Allen.

Allen's back for now!!! Johnny's the bro here!!!xD



It seems like this arc mostly likely conclude the next chapter or two more chapter at most. The next arc most likely going to the Mansion mentioned a few chapters ago.

Finally a new chapter, i think i kinda understand what was happening. Not much to say other that Allen is back! And see you in a year =/

Like many people, I barely remember the details but... Since when is Johnny close friends with Allen? I would have accepted this friendship bullsh*t if it were Lenalee or Lavi.



Damn, I want to know what Tyki and Nea's connection is!



i think they kinda close after black order being attack and johny loose his friendmate (forgot the name but the bigger one and his eyes always covered)and also after they learn that allen is the 14 host. somehow johny feel upset and took sympaty for allen.allen took his promise seriously (promise that he will protect everyone but then he loos his friend mate). they become close afterward. johny even quit the orderand took every risk for searching the missing allen.



Tyki and Nea, no more than fellow Noah, but i think several time mentioned that tyki fiture similar to real Nea. some mentioned that tyki hold grudge to Neah because he kill him previously.

hmm...



the earl / nea backstory has been... interesting... to say the least..



seems like nea wants to kill the earl for what he did to mana and seemed somewhat distressed when the earl claimed to him that mana had gone somewhere he could never return from...



nea/mana are from when the earl split himself into two beings... but later the earl personality came back to mana and he ate and devoured mana but nea put his noah powers in old allen who for some reason is regressing in Age? (or at least until he became a kid and then grew older again?) was this translated correct or is this something she will have to explain more in detail later??



also, the mana personality came back to the surface later for a while when he lived with allen as a kid (thats why he found allen according to nea), perhaps the "earl" that came and "turned mana into an akuma" when he cursed allen was the earl suit and it was empty at the time? no idea.



i like that allen did research on the soul/source of life and that the earl eats that from people.



is Tyki Neas old body perhaps? also curious about the spit up the food i ate line...



anyway i liked this arc okay unlike some people. i guess this arc was all about finding allen after he ran away from the order, giving proper introduction to nea and telling nea/mana past as well as the relationship between the earl/nea/tyki... all which will be very important to the plot going forward obviously...



i just hope the next arc when allen goes to the house, sees bookman etc is more plot heavy and action heavy. a nice battle arc on the lines of Noahs Arc arc would be nice (multiple 1v1 battles between members of the order and the noah, battles that actually have a conclusion instead of just standing around talking looking cool in the background while the main plot takes center stage), although seeing the earls ablities and him go insane this arc was pretty cool, but it  wasnt really a proper battle as we didnt get to see nea fight back or use his abilities we just got to see the earl rage and consume those two order dues.



havent gotten a REAL noah vs order battle in a while, and would be nice to see in the current art/storytelling style.



1.Nope, Nea want to kill earl (actually its mana, i think. cause earl took over mana body after he kill nea) because he want to be the earl itself and i think he know that The Earl is corrupt. look what happen with mana.



2.mana and nea fight for who will be the earl cause both of them are actually the earl, but nea loose and he need to survive by planting his memory to other, which is allen. wether it make allen younger still unknown cause we not yet read allen live after nea death and before he being found by mana and marian



3.this isquestionable, cause later it mentioned that allen memory was not reliable tough.but i think, they kinda calling each other cause formerly they are one soul, nea and mana, and never complete without both.



4.earl using the soul, i think.



5.no, tyki just look like nea in previous live. maybe because he hold grugde to him.or something other. i think because nea just like looking himself in the mirror when he see tyki?.



i hope it too. atleast one by one mystery should be uncovered.that old lady must be have important role.

Finally another chapter !

Nice art as always, but useless chapter in terms of story progression.



I mean, this comes after 6 long months, and this is what happens? Power of bonds, friendship, love, whatever it is, and then Allen comes back... Yeah great thanks... And Nea does not like Tyki, yep so important point...



These 34 pages could have been used to go to the mansion from the previous chapters for example? Idk I just want sth faster and more about the main plot.

*rolls eyes* you shouldnt expect every chapter to be story rich, besides how fast-paced and weird would it feel if that was the case? hoshinos pace is fine as it is, we are just unlucky that we get max 4 chapters per year, but thats enough for me. i like this pace and i wouldnt want hoshino to pace it up.

What a beautiful way for Allen to return.



Indeed, the artwork is great as always. I'm hoping D Gray Man will be getting more chapters this year.



The word you're looking for is rushed not beautiful. All it takes is for magic Johnny sue to call his name and boom the great threat that was going to erase Allen forever is erased? Please.



Other than the johnny part the chapter was pretty solid.

i dont see anything wrong with that, allen wanted his body back and he got it back. nea fainted because allen took his body back, thats how it is



----



i seriously dont get you guys, i mean we finally get a new chapter and you are complaining about the pace? the pace is fine, nothing is rushed and nothing is dragged out - hoshinos pace was always like that. if you re-read the chapters you will notice that. and i bet hoshino doesnt plan to keep this quarterly release either, but she wants her injury to get better and she also wants to keep drawing d gray man. at least be a bit happy that she doesnt go full hiatus until her injury is healed



Oh cool you want something so you're supposed to get it? Wow that's so easy. Alright then all Allen needs to do is want the Earl to die of a heart attack and boom the war's over! Genius.



Neah is supposed to be a threat that is almost impossible to avoid and all it takes is some wimpy nerd calling Allen's name to push him back. If you don't see the pacing issue there then there is NO helping you.



I don't see how you can complain about this and have fairy tail in your favorites.



Btw the main threat of Neah wasn't that he would take over Allen like that but that he'll gain more control over time, as it was shown in the past when it showed some of the current Noah's awaken (don't remember where this was). You should also realize the fact tha Neah was concentrating on activating ALLENS innocence. I don't see how that couldn't also tip the scale in Allens favor, especially as it has protected Allen before.



Simple. two reasons. One I don't bother updating this list in ever and my standards depend on what series I am reading/watching. I have higher standards for DGM than for FT. I know it must be shocking to hear you don't have to hold UNIVERSAL standards to enjoy something. Also DGM was on my favorites back when it had a RELIABLE and consistent schedule it followed. You can thank Hoshino's poor management of the releases for its removal.



i dont really think that anybody cares if you removed dgm from your favorites or not

btw you said you didnt bother to update your list and yet you did to remove dgm from your favorites?

its not shocking to hear you not having universal standards because standards always depend on how good you think something is

well anyways if you are here just to spread negativity then you might as well spread it elsewhere

                        ----------------------------------------

                        Yes people this is real! We finally got a proper D. Gray Man chapter. And no it's not only 4 pages long, it's 30+.



Joyd speaking to Nea was normal but Nea's anwser to having dinner with them was harsh, as you'd expect. He was actually activating his innocence while I'm Noa form, God that will be powerful if he successfully activates it.



Thankfully Johnny arrives and snaps Allen out of it. And we have Allen back! What a beautiful Friday this turned out to be!
