I like your second prediction there; I'm definitely anxious to see what the Black Order ultimately decides to do about this. I wouldn't mind a short scene with Bookman and Lavi as well. Basically,...

...

FIRST I SHAT BRICKS.

THEN I SHAT BLOOD.

THEN I SHAT BLOODY BRICKS.

FGDSLDGFJFGSAJLK.

Oh, I don't think all support-types are disallowed from being badass. I mean, just look at Haruno Sakura.

There's a strong chance she'll still be able to attack, even if Hoshino does go the...

I disagree. Bookman, Chaoji, Mari, Kanda, Allen, Lavi and the generals all have offensive types of Innnocence. Miranda is the only one with a support type, and hers is only useful for so long. ...

My guess is that they died in the cradle affair.

I think it's interesting that our friend, Mister I-Dislike-Everyone Yuu Kanda, charged recklessly in front of a Level Four Akuma, with weapons that he knows are perfectly useless, in order to save...

I love that people are responding to my ammunition-sermonizing drivel. The fact that we can have this kind of discussion is what makes me really love this fandom. (We are serious about our...

No, they're not normal bullets, but as far as we know, they're still fired from conventional firearms. The word 'bullet' specifically refers to the lead part of the cartridge that spins through the...

Holy shit, the omkar, representing the sound of ŌM. You're right! Duh, why didn't I think of that.

Ho, wow. Wow.

Using both Judeo-Christian apocalyptic imagery and Hindu...

Well, the way I understand it is that the 'Ninth' moved the rings early by the manipulation of Xanxus. And because the fake Ninth moved his half, Iemitsu passed his half on as well, and Tsuna wound...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you saying that Maria could be Allen's mom? Dude, you just blew my mind. That would be seriously twisted, but such an awesome twist.

I didn't even think about the...

Hmm, that's interesting. Certainly there's been countless visual references to Christian liturgy in this manga, and singing hymns and psalms is an integral part of that tradition. I'm not sure...

Oh yeah, that does make sense. I bet Cross really was annoyed that they did end up getting in the way of his mission then, after all...but, they did get to bring the egg back to HQ for study, even...

That's true.

But I've kind of wondered why, if he needed Allen so desperately to complete his mission, he told Chomesuke to discourage the exorcists that Allen was supposed to be with from coming...

Like Bassment said, we've known that level 2 akuma are self-aware ever since the Crowley arc. Remember that nice comic interlude when Eliade was so pissed off at the Level Ones for rushing her when...

Digital_Eon and Franckie, you both have excellent points. I've always thought that Mana is much, much more than just a minor background character, ever since I saw this in the anime's first ED, and...

I do think at some point the Earl will lead a direct assault on H.Q., especially now after they've lost such numbers, and since the generals are gathering there. That's kind of what I think...

Now that D.Gray-man is on a longish break, I thought it'd be fun if we started a couple of new discussions to wile away the time. Even though we have predictions discussions after each chapter, I'm...

Also, neck and spinal injuries can be seriously debilitating. Every nerve in your body is attached to your spinal cord. If that's really the nature of her condition, then it makes sense that she'd...

Gosh, no, I didn't forget Road. Like snoogen, I'm not satisfied that she's gone. With Skin Boric, we got his backstory, learned his motives, and I think his fight and his life as a character came...

Now, both of my favorite mangaka are out on sick leave. Hoshino and Minekura. *more crying*

Get well soon, both of you!

I called her a dead hooker to be funny. Guess it stuck.



Seriously! That's not a respectful way to enshroud a deceased person. But, oh well, manga dress code I guess.

So, predictions...
...

The thing that surprised me most was Lavi's crumbling hammer. Which puzzled me at first, since we haven't really seen it sustain damage. Then I thought it must've just gotten 'downloaded' before...

*cry*

...I have trouble believing that all those Noah died in one arc. I mean, I know that Tyki and Road must still have some story in them. I don't know how, but they won't completely die.

And YES,...

OMFG WHOA.

Cross slings around a dead hooker and kills shit with her! That is so sick and creepy and strangely delicious! And he has a Vash gun! And he doesn't like dirty people unless they're...

Nah, I predict that Cross totally scores with Lenalee. It'd be so funny.

GUH. ZOMFG. This chapter completely drove a screw through my brain. Who the hell were those skull-headed sorcerers that cross killed and mangled to get in? Why the hell did Cross not have any...

No. Fewer battle auras and stuff; more slender, effeminate boys, apocalypses, and panda jokes.

Title:


Chapter 127: Lots of Grunting and Muscle-Flexing.

I dunno, I kind of like that even though we still don't know too much about him, he's already a bit more than one-dimensional. I don't want a character that's just weepy, or just a fearless zealot,...

I wonder if choosing Chaoji to fight Tyki is Hoshino's way of setting up a reason for it to be feasible that Tyki'd get killed off (or to set us up to believe he's actually dead), since obviously...

Hey...Noah's Ark is on dial-up!

OHH, that's rich. Yeah, what would Allen be like as a teacher? I can kind of see the three of them is a classroom setting...Crowley would raise his hand constantly and ask lots and lots of inane...

I'm actually quite excited that there's a new Conformer among them now: it gives me hope that after all this, we may revisit HQ, which is my dearest wish. After all, Allen has a possible General...

(Muaah, Poof, Harry Potter bowled me over too! I stayed up reading it all night and day, and I'm drenched in sweat.)

...Wow, Chaoji, you've somehow impressed me. I had a little bit of a feeling...

About Lenalee's possible coming power-up...remember when Lenalee was in that big-assed Final Fantasy crystal, and Anita went all crazy, saying stuff about her head being split open by a noise, or a...

I absolutely agree. The whole charm of Cross Marian is that he is a world-class asshole. Cross coming down with a sudden case of altruism just isn't going to happen.

At the most I can see him...

Hell-oooo Skepticzar! I miss Badass!Lenalee, too. And I want more family cuteness with Komui, so I hope they get in touch with H.Q. again after all this. (It would be a dream come true if they all...

Yeah, it may seem like a very cheap literary device to have Cross show up, but there has been foreshadowing. Jasdebi mentioned several times that they were expecting him to show up in the Ark, even...

Out of boredom and out of trying to get my mind off a bad stomachache, I just re-read the 2nd half of all the manga that's out yet (from about chapter 60), and now these are my predictions about...

I hope that both Allen and Lavi will take on Tyki together. I like interactions between those two; I laughed my ass off at the end of the hi-ban fiasco.

Don't know at this point what the hell is...

About Allen getting a new weapon again...isn't the whole point of having a syncro ratio of over 100% that you can make your innocence take any shape you need it to? Or am I understanding that wrong?...

I've got a feeling that Chaoji will live, somehow. Because it seems so much like he's
obviously set up to be expendable, it would just be too lame if he died.

No idea what's going on with Tyki. ...

NOOOOO! Not another epic battle! I thought they were finally going to get to rest! I'm exhausted! And no chapter next week. My heart is broken. My heart is broken in pieces.

And what the...

Do we know anything about the eyepatch? Is it explained in Reverse 02?



That's an excellent point. I hope that mean/dark/evil/bad Lavi's nature and origin is explained before this is over.

I also dearly hope this happens, and I think it will. It would add so much to the dialectical tension/literary complexity of the whole dining-hall-scene, even just for Lavi's heart to be cognizant...

It might have just been visually confusing to have the cape fluttering around with all the action that's going on. Might just be an artistic decision.

Road's goal is kind of to end history, so yeah, it makes total sense.



I wonder if she's got total control of him or not. I think she just psychologically broke him, but isn't puppeting him. ...

Man, that'd be badass. (Can we say badass? I'm new.) I also like the idea of Innocence skeletons running around and...uh. Redeeming souls? XD

Maybe Allen could make an anti-akuma out of...
