** A lot of level 2+ Akuma do this, such as the cat akuma that comes after Miranda ("Nya!") and the frog akuma Krory and co. meet in the small farming town ("Kero!") The biggest offender is Cross' modified Akuma, whose constant tendency to end her sentences with "Cho!" causes Lavi to dub her "Chomesuke."
** The Earl's umbrella, Lero, frequently punctuates its sentences with its name.
*** [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Lero]] can also use its name just a general exclamation. "Le~ro..." means "Whoa..." "LERO?!" means "AAUGH!" and "Lerolerolero!" means "Ow-ow-ow!" for example.
** Crowley has a habit of ending his sentences with "de aru."
** Lavi ends most sentences with "sa".
* VillainousRescue: [[spoiler: Despite the fact they have both inflicted significant BodyHorror and done other unpleasant things to him in their earlier meetings, Tyki and Road (especially Road) have begun to develop a knack for helping Allen out when he's about to be consumed by something. Why? [[FoeYay 'Cause they like him, of course.]]]]
** Played absolutely straight [[spoiler: when they break him out of prison]]
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Allen throws up when he first sees a Level 4 Akuma's soul.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Black Order would do anything to win the war against the Earl. [[MoralEventHorizon Anything]].
* WhamEpisode: Chap. 198 [[spoiler: We see the 14th face, who is about to fully awake, and discover that Alma's soul is actually THE ONE OF THE WOMAN KANDA HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR HIS WHOLE LIFE]]. ''Ouch''.
** And now, chapter 204: [[spoiler: Tyki and Road break Allen out of jail to save him from the Apocryphos, who wants to absorb Allen into itself. But the Order is only aware of the first part, so they declare Allen to be no longer an Exorcist and now an enemy of the Order]].
* WhamLine: "What if I told you [[spoiler:you'd have to kill someone you love when [[TomatoInTheMirror you become]] the 14th]]?"
** Chapter 192 gives us: [[spoiler:"I was killed by Akuma, wasn't I?"]]
** And now another: [[spoiler:"You can't go back to that place, can you? &#9829;"]]
** 204: [[spoiler: "As of now, we will be freezing Allen Walker's rights as an exorcist. From here on he shall be classified as a Noah"]]
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: The scars on Miranda's hands resemble stigmata.
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: In the beginning, the ''main character'' is supposed to find the Black Order Headquarters without knowing where the hell it is. The location is still unknown, but a filler episode seems to be hinting it's in France.
** Well...At least in the Anime, Cross Marian asks Allen if "he knew the way to the Black Order" before knocking him out, because the good General won't be joining him on the account that he "hates that place". And even if Allen didn't knew, or forgot because of the blow to the head, Timcanpy surely knows the way, So...yeah.
*** According to the first D.Gray-man Reverse novel, which is part of canon, all that Cross had ever told Allen was that the Black Order was somewhere in Europe. And so Allen had to travel to Britain, hoping that a particular supporter of the Order he knew there might be able to give directions - which she did. Timcanpy didn't help.
* WhipItGood: Klaud Nine and [[spoiler: Lulu Bell.]]
** Nine even has a line in the anime to the effect of "Maybe I should whip you [to make you actually work]!" to which Cross replies, "Doesn't sound too bad." This could be called an example of AdaptationDistillation.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Possibly averted since Allen is so gosh darn nice.
** Wisely is a straight example.
** [[spoiler:Thanks to the 14th, Allen may qualify as a double subversion...]]
* WordSaladTitle: Hoshino said in her interview at the Animagic convention in Germany that the idea for the name D.Gray-man came from the fact that "The colors black and white play an important role in the whole series. And the color gray symbolizes that."
* WreckedWeapon: [[spoiler:Allen's arm. It gets better eventually, though. Also Lavi and Kanda, later.]] Heck, this is the Earl's ultimate goal.
* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:Eliade.]] So very much.
** Justified, as she is genuinely in love with [[spoiler:Krory, but is being driven crazy by the conflict this presents with her Akuma programming.]]
** Also, Road Kamelot.
* YouCanBarelyStand: Sometimes Allen literally ''can't'' stand and [[AttackAttackAttack keeps fighting]] [[{{Determinator}} anyway]]. [[spoiler:EmpathicWeapon body armor sure is handy, huh?]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Kanda, Timothy and Madarao all have blue hair, as does Lenalee on some colour pages. Tokusa has green, and both Komui and Road have purple. And apparently all 100% natural 
** Though technically averted in the cases of everyone but Timothy and the third exorcists in that their official hair colours are all black with the author herself stating that anything else is just her having fun with the colours on the volume covers. Probably justified with Timothy as his hair is implied to have been normal before his dad forced him to swallow innocence.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Lenalee Lee: ''Hello Legs!!''
* ZombieApocalypse: One of the manga arcs after the end of the anime. HilarityEnsues.
