Hangout DGM Hang Out Thread

i started to get the same feeling after knowing the story of the Noahs better.
And the same is happening now in Shingeki no Kyojin.
And Ouran, but it was imediately forgotten due to the comedy.

It's pretty damn messy... The appearance of the apocryphos + shady business of the order and also us knowing better about Noah completely turned the tide... What if the Heart is the fucking villain at this point ?

Really? You think the Order's shady business and desperate attempts to defeat a virtually immortal evil that is the Earl and Noah family is just as bad as their enemy? Do you think the Order's (occasional and limited) human experiments outshine the Earl's 7000 years of building Akuma that can only be destroyed through select means?
[/end]

Actually, I do think the Heart is the final boss at this point. Even the Noah are quite on edge and the Earl was very terrified of the Heart ever getting its hands on Nea (and yet, they went after Apocryphos head on). Additionally, if you look at the power levels of the two groups, it is obvious that the Order stands less than a snowball's chance in Hell compared to the Noah. They are severely underpowered, and almost every single victory the Order has had throughout the series has been due to chance, incredible sacrifice, inteference from the 14th or other unpredecented occurances. Not to mention Innocence is limited whereas even Noah killed with Innocence are expected to be reborn quite quickly (Skinn/wrath). Despite the Order's experiments and awesome Science Department, not even their technology compares to the Noahs' and it is painfully obvious that they are around only because the Earl is using them to smoke out the Heart. Apocryphos's and the Heart's lack of involvement and the Innocence's tendency to turn on humans (via Fallen Ones) is very odd and counter-intuitive when taking the war into account. So I really do think that the rabbit hole goes even deeper, and while the Noah's human massacre is unforgivable, even if it was not 100% their fault, I think there is a true evil and darkness in this series that we have yet to see.

Ofc not, the Earl and Noah have their fair share of evil doing, but don't you find it weird the direction Hoshino is taking with the Earl/Noah ? Nea in the last chapter said something weird IMO, which is " The scene that remains within the heart of the Millenium Earl who has endured for 7000 years... " , and then we see the original Earl crying after seeing Katerina... And then the original Earl split in " half " if we can say it like hat... It seems like the original Earl was a sad guy

Also since long ago, Allen seems sorta friendly with the Noah, in the Alma Karma arc, it felt as if Noah were starting to become good guys (Road/Earl at least), and then Apocryphos appearing

Also, I wonder what is the importance of Allen and his innocence + noah memories for both the Earl/Heart, Apocryphos seems like he wants to clean Allen from his Noah Memories and the Earl for obvious reasons wants the 14th

P.S : Now that Mana = Earl, who the fuck was that when Allen turned " Mana " into an Akuma ? Or was that his imagination ? Also the fact that Allen was an adult at first when meeting the 14th seems weird, effect of the Innocence ? Could it be his innocence strongly related to the Heart or is the Heart (unlikely at this point)

Until now (and still even now), I'd say that Akuma in the graveyard was still Mana, and that the Earl just unknowingly used his power to pull out (part of) his own soul. But this chapter's revelation that Nea and Mana were once one person leads me to wonder if there might be even more going on with the way the Mana Akuma speaks. In Japanese, that Akuma sounds very *unlike* Mana when it's cursing Allen, but then at the end right before Allen's arm slashes it, the Akuma suddenly sounds like Mana. I suppose it's possible that the seemingly gentle Mana has a vengeful and plain-speaking side we don't know about, but maybe that was the Earl Noah memory speaking? After all, the Earl Noah memory would have been controlling Mana like a puppet starting at least from when Allen thought he died. I guess we'll find out for sure when Allen sees who the Earl is for himself, but for now that's where my money is riding.

Could someone please advise Manga Status when we will get a new chapter?!

Jump SQ Crown mag is quarterly. The last issue was for summer; next issue (autumn) is out in October. So presumably that's January, April, July, October each year.

According to some Japaneses's reaction, it seems that there will be some DGM related in Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair 2015 as one of SQ's series. But I think they're quite over optimistic.

I'm looking forward to JumpFes 2016 however

 

[kannazuki]

Under 07? Yeah I agree. They mention D.Gray-Man and then they don't specify what the booth will have for it by name. But I'm guessing it refers to the last lines there about a display of popular series' reprinted animation cels or something like that. But seeing that kind of thing can be something to get excited about. It's nostalgic.

Oh so it was originals for the promotional art then. Nice! I wonder if it was held at the manga and animation museum there? Looks like it could have been...

I would love tons of DGM covers. But only colour page is good too.

oOOoOOoOoh i hope so too! that's got me thinking though...i wonder if there'll be other character drawings like the allen one in the booklet or if it'll be full of sketches we haven't seen, on instagram or elsewhere. Or rough drafts of art we have seen idk. though to be honest i would be 100% happy with a booklet full of drawings off her instagram because those are lovely~
