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

                        Short chapter, but with a big huge plot twist.



Apparently, the Noahs are from an alternate dimension (similar to our modern world) and were transported to the DGM world by a pillar of light (implied to be the Innocence) and are using the Earl to return to their homeworld (or some thing like that) by pretending to be his family (or maybe that only applies to Road).

So, Allen's nightmare when he appeared impaled with the sword of Crown Clown to a modern building (during the beginning of Alma Karma's arc) was foreshadowing all along. I'm speechless.



A connection between Cross and Road is hinted, but nothing more is said about them.

I think now the climax of this flahback is going to be Mana awakening as the Earl and killing Cosimov and everyone in the circus, ending with he and Red!Allen travelling together.



Damn this made me think of a theory. the Earl was used as a pawn of sorts by the other Noah's and basically Nea couldn't bear to see it all happen to his Earl bro and killed all the other Noah's. he tried to kill his Earl bro to save him from his plight which failed as the other Noah's must have manipulated his memories and made him turn against Nea. (I suspect Road of doing it).



Just my theory again. If the Earl is whole again (the 14th combined into one entity with Mana to form the orginal Earl) then the heart will appear and destroy this world. I am suspecting Allen having the heart innocence and him being a trigger of sorts. if Allen becomes Nea, combines to form the Earl with Mana, then the heart innocence activates or something.

Love the color page.XD



A short but shocking chapter. Didn’t expect Cross and Road meet and the twist. While so far not really into the another dimension or world twist because it seems a bit out of place and overuse, but I like the pillar twist which is foreshadowed in chapter 184. Interest to see how it play out and the story for the end of Noah’s original world cause by the pillar.



That end page Road crying. 😭

I am not a fan of this alternate dimension/world stuff because this trope has been quite overused recently, but the twist that Noah Family are manipulated Millenium Earl does make sense considering Earl's weird personality ...

Oh I also missed Road, glad she appeared in this chapter ...

I love this chapter,  I have finally gotten my explanation as to why the Noah used 21th century terms like "downloading Noah's arc"  :)

That pillar gave me huge evangelion vibes, even the pillar true form look like evangelion mass produce evas xD



Soop is that foreshadow that this will end in tragedy ?

It was a short but pretty cool chapter. Liked the plot twist also and I am looking forward to see how it plays out.



And it seems we'll be knowing more about the noah's origins

Can someone explain what's even going on lol? I am not keeping up with all of this and re-reading past chapters seem like a pain.

This chapter is amazing! I though about the nightmare too. I'm not sure if Mana is going to kill Cosimov, but yup he'll probably bring the Millenium Earl back. (I guess Cosimov'll be plotting to kill Mana, maybe with poison which will make Mana weak/ill and then his 'death' will arrive)

Now another thing that is quite strange: 'Mana is the chosen one to be THE pillar' which is a menace to Noah's family and destroyed their 'world'. But is the pillar Innocence itself or the HEART, or both? (so then a destructor AND a savor, just like what was said for Allen Walker, who has Neah in him, who once with Mana were one entity the Millenium Earl)

And I have lots of question about WHEN did Cross Marian last saw child Mana smile... Was he older? A childood friend? (from the house where the black timcampy is) Maybe like a brother?



That's where freakin' good old times' flashbacks came to me... Road's song, Jasdevi and Devit song and of course the 14th song don't just bring up things about the actual moment... But they're hints.



Jasdevi and Devit:

There was once a cradle

There was another cradle within the cradle

One become a twin

And the other cradle disappeared within the mist

A star that is shining brightly in the graveyard

Disappears



Road's song:

he Lord Millennium is in search of you

Looking for the Heart now, (which was translated in French by 'HIS dear heart')

Have you heard the new?

Maybe you stole it from him,

I'll see if it's true

The Lord Millennium is in search of you

Looking for the Heart now

Have you heard the news?

I was not the one he sought,

Maybe it is you

Who is it who has my heart?

I will find you soon



So yeah watchout 'cause hints about the Millenium Earl's identity where split up into those songs. (and probably into the Noahs' memories, monologues without even letting us know that they're relevant because they may be unconscious of doing so)



And to finish with my long bullshit theories, it's been years since I though that the final would be in an Apocalypse like form. (to add more to the Bible events symbolism) Glad to see that's where we're going to.



The thing that I think strange is... I always thought that the Heart would be the strongest exorcist woman who'll probably be called Eve. (nemesis to Adam then)

But now what I may understand is that Neah with Allen's will is the Heart (Eve), send by god to protect the world from Adam who'll destroy it now that the Neah family as recuperated him. (which explains why Lvellie is willing to help Neah but doesn't explain why Apocryphios wants to kill him, and why would Neah (the Heart) send Apocryphios to kill him... That's adding up to the confusion.)



Just needed to write what was on my mind somewhere. ^^'
