Re: DGM Hang Out Thread - Part 1
Yay! Something to discuss about in the hangout out thread. Hi everyone! I've been consistently lurking ever since the hiatus started and checking this thread at least once a month (in other words for years....).
Crown Clown, I hope this helps!
-spoilerish to anyone who hasn't read the manga by this point?-
Kanda Yu in his past life was an exorcist who died in the battlefield. He had a woman who he loved. As he died in a stream/pond surrounded by lotuses, he thought of the promise he made with her be together (specifically to go see a field of flowers) and her promise to him that she would wait for him forever. Ch. 193
After he died, Dead!Kanda's brain was taken for Second Exorcist Program and his brain implanted into another body (the body of a young male child). When New!Kanda woke up, he had forgotten his name, past, and everything. Ch. 192 page 6

Because the Second Exorcist Program was a failure, many of the test subjects would gradually recover their Dead!Self's memories and their abilities would become unstable. New!Kanda was haunted by the memories of the woman he loved and a sense of longing. He also kept remembering the lotuses in the mud field where he died.
At the same time, it was revealed that Alma
was the woman Kanda loved in his past life. Because ThatWoman was always shown in a dress rather than a uniform, we were misled and did not guess that she had been an exorcist alongside Dead!Kanda. It turns out ThatWoman had also been killed/died and her brain was used in the Project as well. Dead!Alma was a female and her brain was implanted into a male body. ThatWoman woke up as Alma in the body of a boy with no memories
Alma and Kanda met. They both tried to escape together. Kanda was caught separately. The Lab had realized Kanda was about to remember his past and attempted to kill/killed Kanda. Alma wanted to rescue Kanda and went to synchronize with the innocence. Alma saw the mummified dead bodies of the exorcists and realized what the second exorcist plan was. Kanda kept remembering his promise with ThatWoman, recovered some of his Dead!Kanda memories, and synchronized with the innocence which allowed him to wake up. Kanda decided he might as well kill everyone in the Lab. Ch. 193, page 16.
He ran into and saved Noise Marie, which led him to realize how much New!Kanda had been saved by Alma. Kanda changed his mind and decided to leave the Lab with Alma instead.
Meanwhile, Alma had killed all of the Lab members. His abilities were unstable after synchronizing with the Innocence. He became convinced that everyone involved with the lab, including Kanda and himself, had to die in order to show how much of a complete failure the Second Exorcist Project had been and so that a similar experiment would never be carried out again. Alma wanted to die together.
Kanda killed Alma because unlike Alma, Kanda had recovered his memories and had a reason to live.
Kanda thought Alma had been killed. Alma was captured and put into a sleeping state. Alma was fused with Dark Matter and his cells were used for the 3rd project. The Earl woke up Alma using the Noah. Alma woke up as an Akuma and had recovered his memories as ThatWoman
Alma realized that Kanda had killed Alma to fulfill his promise to Alma's past self. Alma didn't want Kanda to realize he had killed the one was searching for and now ThatWoman was also an Akuma after having been used by The Order as a source of cells for all these years. Alma wanted to kill Kanda before he had realized the truth and that he could never fulfill the promise. Allen saw through his left eye that Alma's soul was that of the woman from Kanda's memories. Ch 198 pg 22
Then Alma died in Kanda's arms.
I do really hope that happens. It'd relieve the great amount of tension I feel from waiting so long for ch219
