Question Cross Marian's Age?

[Naomi]

Wow, I've never seen that picture, thanks for posting. And yeah, if you hadn't specifically mentioned it being Cross, I would have immediately assumed that it was Allen.

I definitely think the idea of Cross always being The Fourteenth's follower was interesting and true.
It really thwarts my perceptions though, because I've always seen Cross as the all-knowing mysterious character. Now that I know he might just be the apprentice of someone else, it just kinda surprises me is all. Very interesting stuff!

But anyway, I would guess that Cross is late in his 40s-early 50s (assuming he is still alive). It's very possible for men that old to be very sexy though...
I mean, just look at George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr. Age isn't always a bad thing.

I think that he will live like 5000years.
Or until the world ends:P

I don't think Cross is much older than 40. We don't know when he met the 14th and became his follower. Maybe it was when he was sent to destroy the egg 4 years ago. From then Cross cut off all contacts with the Order. Why? Maybe he met the 14th who told him something then died and Cross, now knowing some secrets and carrier of the 14th's will watched over Mana and then took Allen as an apprentice.
So maybe Cross is not that old or immortal. He's around 35-40.

From looking at that picture(which I have spazzed over many a time becuase it's just SO him) I'd say he looks to be around Kanda and Lavi's age. A teenager at most. I personally think Cross is probably in his mid 30's, maybe pushing onto 40.

I agree with a lot of people when they say that the 14th didn't die 35 years ago, but rather went on the run with Mana. For all we know Cross didn't meet him untill years later when he was still quite young.

lol, I had this crack idea that the reason his age isn't revealed in the fanbook is because he's extremely vain and doesn't want people knowing his age.

Cross: My age? I'm 29 >.> *coughs* yeah, totally... *slavers on face cream*

 

[steelwingcrash1]

From the looks of it, he's a middle-aged man. So I assume, 40 years old?

 

[Charmtwister]

cross has to deffinitly be older than 35; we all know that (unless, like Digital_Eon said, he doesn't age normally.) I also want to add something: we all know the 14th died around 35 years ago. but the thing some people are confused on is that, before the 14th could truly die, something happened to him (not sure what-sorry) and he was never 100% dead. Freaky, right? Anyway, somehow he got, you can say, reincarnated, and is now a subconcious part if allen. the 14th is 'asleep' inside of Allen because he was greatly weakened-and supposed to be dead. If this 'part' of Allen is ever awakened-and later on we see that he is awakened-; and if the 14ths powers are at least somewhat regenerated, then the 14th has a chance of taking over Allen and can even be capable of puting his mind and soul into allen's body and driving allen's mind and soul out. Even freakier, right? well, the only thing wrong with my theory is that d. gray man is already finished (but there is a rumour-only a rumour-that d. gray man is starting once more in july.) ah, well, it ca. still be true.
ps-can someone please fill me in on what a 'Skull' is?

 

[Asclepius]

D.Gray-man is still an ongoing serie. It was absent from last JumpSQ due to the author's illness.

We don't know exactly when the 14th died. 35 years ago he started to kill the Noahs. He ran away with Mana and was hunted. This could have lasted 1 year or 20 years. There are losts of theories about this fact.

So far, we saw that a skull is a human turned into a monster that obbeys to the Noahs and can use magic.

wait a sec I thought d gray man had completely stopped production thanks to the author falling ill...though, come to think of it, that probably isn't a good enough reason anyway. thanks for filling me in on skulls; I have not yet completed either the manga or anime so I haven't 'encountered' that in the story yet-when does/do the skull(s) come into the story?

[Dlanor_A.Knox]

Neh, it's never stated that Cross was with Neah from the beginning right? So he could have met Neah in those 35 years, so he could be like 32 xD

Ah, it really is a mystery.... Why would Hoshino put age: Unknown in the character book x'D?

 

[Naomi]

Oh they usually put ages in character books, right? I didn't think of that. Maybe the question will finally be solved. I'm putting my bets on 44.

 

[Ruki92x]

hmm his age?
i been wondering that to HAHAH maybe around 40-50 years old?

 

[Sensei42]

Hm, with the latest chapter we know that he's at least over 35 years old since that's when Neah died. He certinally doesn't look like a 50+ guy to me so I think this cements the fact that he doesn't age normally.

 

[Naomi]

With that mask of his, that seems to have the ability to change his appearance at his will, might have something to do with the fact that he looks so young. With a disguise like that, Cross could be anyone.

 

[Dlanor_A.Knox]

The didn't reveal his age in the new character book as far as I've seen..... *sigh* why is that fact so mysterious?

 

[Asarii]

It's really a shame! We don't even know which country he's from so he's shrouded in mystery. My guess is that he's in his late-30s to early-40s.

 

[Dlanor_A.Knox]

Could be.... Or maybe Hoshino is planning something? (Cross lived a 100 years already or something and he came from Atlantis!!....lol...)

 

[Aracely]

Late 30s to early 40s...that might be impossible, given that at the time of Mana's death, chapter 206 of DGM reveals that Cross had apparently been searching for the 14th's new host for the past 30 years. And adding that to the five or so years since then, Cross must be at the very least 35 years old, but of course he actually has to be older than that, too. Because if he is, say, 40 years old...that would mean he met the 14th and became his follower at the age of 5. Which is very unrealistic. If we up his age to 45, that, too, is unrealistic.

Could Cross have been the 14th's follower at the age of 10, and been the one person the 14th relied on to promise to take care of Mana? Doubtful. I imagine that Cross must have been at the very least 15 at that time. So my guess is that his age now is a minimum of 50, but that he could be older than that. As Sensei says above, we know for a fact now that Cross is either not ageing naturally, or using some sort of magic to hide his real appearance. I'm betting on the former.

Maybe! There's probably a reason why several of the characters don't have a complete profile.

As Sensei says above, we know for a fact now that Cross is either not ageing naturally, or using some sort of magic to hide his real appearance. I'm betting on the former.

My guess was based on his appearance alone so your calculations are more correct since you've taken into account on how long he's been searching for the 14th's host. The ages of quite a few characters (Mana, Road, Allen and even Tyki) are either unknown or presumed. It's possible that the ages are withheld so a definite timeline won't be made.

Cross´ age? Anyone?

The new chappie left me thinking about one thing, so guys... am I the only one who´s been bothered by Cross´ age? I mean when he and Allen met the last time, he said that he was keeping an eye on him and that Allen/14th "promissed" him that he would return to Mana´s side - so here is the thing: Either Neah told him himself before he died and that would make Cross a reeeeeal old man: He said that 35 years ago and I think no child would be in a place of war *Note: I call it war.... but I mean the time when Neah had been taking care of his "brothers"* and it seemed to me that past!Allen took the only opportunity to let Neah use him short after the battle, and he also had lost his memories. Soooo I guess Cross HAD to be in a possition of interfere with the battle that maked me think he HAD to be older than 20 at least!

Here go my theories:
- Cross and Neah knew each other, as well as Past!Allen knew Neah. Right after the battle Allen took the oportunity to offer himself to Neah (I have such an urge to say "offered his body to Neah" but I don´t want to spread the slashes just for now anyways) and Cross found them, taking the possessed Allen and in that moment he could tell him that he would return. Aaaand I will be very optimistic and say that Cross is a veeeery talented magician and had made Allen young again.... (which of course had to be some time later *during the 35 years* coz Allen had to age to the certain point of being....5? i guess when Mana found him..... ) this making Cross at least 52 years old.

-Or all that could happen without Cross, someone else took care of him, I would say that, again, some magician made him young but this time I dare to say Neah did his job inadvertently making Allen young again, and that mysterious man was related to young Cross, myby his family and so, and then when the person died, Cross took care of Allen... making Cross I´d say 35 - coz he really looked like a 35-year-old


Sooo... If anyone bothered to read this - These are just my personal thoughts and I would like to hear your opinions.... so no flaming back *mental Thank you* I am really bad at smooth writting so I hope you know what I wanted to say....

I am sorry for the mistakes in spelling (if there are some) and in the grammar (if there are some).








* I am seriously thinking about writting a fanfic about this... hmm..... Allen offering his body to Neah....OMG I am such a pervert.... *
