D.Gray-Man 205 Discussion / 206 Predictions

[Trilight]

Don't they all just look so dignified and refined?
Kanda never happy being second fiddle, always has to be the center of attention.

[Zero]

Oh damn, Rod is dead. Allen went somewhere alone, everybody is chasing him. Levalier's(?) true purpose is to save Allen Walker, the 14th, with means that the 14th, probably was the third force, with fought for humans, against angels(Apocrypha's like innocent ?) and demons (akumas and noahs ?).

[Jaiden]

Great chapter!

I wonder where Allen's off to. Well at least he got to say goodbye to Lenalee. Now another month's wait is upon us.

[dct21]

Yes, Awesome, chapter, this type of ending makes me hate that its a monthly manga. I almost thought Lenalee was gonna ask to travel with Allen.

[StrawberryLulzJam]

Haha I re-read this chapter like 3 times. It was nice I love that Johnny for once showed his frustration at 'Allen betraying us' rather than just crying over everything. And I loveeeee Tykki!! Part of me wishes he'd actually chopped off Allen's arm. It WAS a good idea considering

I don't think Road is dead. She's done this before remember?? When they met in the Ark and she burned and disappeared. It's simply because her human form couldn't last, but she'll make another one. Plus Allen didn't seem too concerned and neither did Tykki.

Now Allen, the typical smile that hides everything was all over this chapter. And Lenalee saw right through it. I don't think they had a 'moment' though, just family/freinds connection. I really don't think Hoshino will ever make them a couple...I hope not anyway I think Lenalee works better with Lavi. So where is Allen going?? Seeing that question mark on the Ark reminded me of the Ark's gate that he catapulted Kanda into, so maybe he's going to see our beloved swordsman?

And honestly, that speech Tykki gave Allen about him being the worst monster was soo...OUCH. That, was honest and brutal. But sort of exactly what Allen needed right? Tykki gave him a dose of reality, and of what he should actually be doing. I'm very impressed in how Hoshino layed out this chapter I don't think it could have gone any better. Levellier is such a smartie, it seems he is actually just like Cross on the 14th's side, and I think he sees Link as an important support person in Allen's life, which is probably why he lied about him being dead.

Now isn't there anyway that we won't have to wait a full month for 206? 205 got delayed only two weeks and that was because of the earthquake, so shouldn't 206 be released as it usually would in another two weeks? Or did the entire schedule get pushed over?

oh INDEED allen had a "moment" with lenalee (and this is not just the fangirl in me talking). hoshino purposefully set it up that way because i think she recognizes the importance of that scene for the two characters. lenalee's world is falling apart with kanda and lavi gone or missing, and now allen as well, the big piece of her world puzzle. for allen, he is saying goodbye to both her and all of his friends at the order whom he loves so much. but hoshino did purposefully create that moment for them where the only people that are in the panels are allen and lenalee (and tim, of course), i don't think anyone can deny this. even if it wasn't romantic, it was still a special moment, and it was a long time in coming. hoshino sent tykki after the apocryphos and she sent rhode off to wherever-rhode-goes-when-she-can't-sustain-her-human-form-anymore-land, leaving allen to be alone when lenalee finds him. i think this was very, very intentional. and no, rhode is most definitely not dead. she wouldn't go out like that.

this being a shounen mag/manga, i don't think there will be any overt displays of love or romance with the main character(s) but there are always little touches and subtle implications here and there even in this genre (even rurouni kenshin, as shounen as it gets, was still able to show the delicate romance between kenshin and karou though it was never the focus).

i agree with strawberry....i think he may be headed to mater, the same place he sent kanda. he doesn't want to go with the noah, nor does he want to go back to the order. tykki just kicked him in the nutz with a big reality check. allen now realizes he "sows chaos" wherever he is and he doesn't know what is within him. so, i think he's going on that journey to find out. and perhaps our intrepid kanda will play a part in it as well since he isn't shy about giving allen reality checks either and kanda himself also has to find out what exactly his purpose in this world is. they're kinda in the same boat that way.

i'm impressed with hoshino's masterful control over our first impressions and then turning them over. as hated as louverrier is, we are seeing another side of the war (as cross mentioned) and that he knows more than we thought he did...and is motivated by things we assumed he was adversarial about. have we ever seen him beg for anything before? hell, no. he's cold, stoic, even dastardly. but here he is, groveling for link's life to be saved at all costs. i was affected very much by that visual. and tykki going after the apocryphos, his last words (not his LAST words, just his last sentence before taking off) were in reference to when he first met him in the train and they played poker together. his warped but genuine affection for allen is interesting.

this is one of the best chapters i've read in a while. it was emotionally-charged and riveting. and i, for one, am very satisfied with that little moment with allen and lenalee. even if lenalee was supposed to symbolize allen's love and care for the order in general, i am glad she was the last and only person he has willingly embraced thus far in his life and had the chance to express it to her. now, poor, lenalee...a right devastated mess she might become after this.

[cross777]

great chapter, even thought some people kind of spoiled us LOL. jk. but yeah great chapter i can not wait to see what happens next.

[Jaiden]

Seeing that question mark on the Ark reminded me of the Ark's gate that he catapulted Kanda into, so maybe he's going to see our beloved swordsman?

I thought the same thing. Kanda would be the right person to help him with what's going on.

[Road Kamelot-Chan]

Yay! Today's Kandas Birthday! Happy Birthday Kanda Yu!

what I posted in the 205 prediction thread since I didn't realize this one had already been made:

damn I was hoping that since allen had had a change of clothes (edit: actually wasn't it was just his prison clothes that look very recent noah-ish)that perhaps that scene with lenalee and had perhaps come later to be an additional chapter for the long wait *sob* but no, just 1. apparently she's been working on an artbook though so hopefully after that's finished, they can work on getting the series up to every two weeks? ;D

AllenxLenalee moments: I still think any guy/friend would hug someone he knows loves them, or just the people the people they know if they're going to say goodbye for a long time. It's a form of farewell and I'm sure if others had been there (crying lavi anyone? ;D ) they would have gotten one too. That's not to say you can't use it as fodder if you like, and I'm sure for those fans it's their best dream come true, but until there's a confession I'll assume, like in most other shonen mags, the main male character is either assexual or has the sex drive of a eunich ;D

What do you bet malcom is actually a 14th follower and to keep that hidden from the rest of the order he has to make it seem like he's going after him? I mean afterall he would know how to work the system to keep himself 'loyal' yet 'hidden', and was possibly being so cruel so that allen would lose his surrounding support and give up and turn noah

Nea fought for mana? weak. >__>;; I was hoping it'd be something cool to do with the heart, like, for example, if dark matter is the waste from innocence (and the reason why akuma exist in the first place?) then it can control noah like the noah control akuma, or perhaps make the inner noah insane (hence why the 14th should stay away at all costs). I guess with this though we'd need to know mana's motivations, he didn't seem like the type that'd want to control or take over the world, so using his brother to take the earl's place doesn't seem very likely, and although perhaps the earl wasn't too happy with neah having a non-noah brother I don't think he'd really go to all the effort to kill him knowing he'd ruin his relationship with the 14th on their side

on a side note: TIM NOW TALKS?!?!?! THAT'S AWESOME!!!!! now he doesn't need a video recording to tell komui allen and lenalee hugged? 8D
