Line #10 Fridge/DGrayMan


1	[[AC:FridgeHorror]]
2	* [[CreepyChild Road Kamelot]] constantly makes advances on [[AllLovingHero Allen]] and is very...''admired'' by her adoptive father, Sheril. But the revelation that [[spoiler: Road is MUCH older than she looks (she's had the body of a twelve-year-old for over thirty-five years) makes these interactions creepier; not only is Allen half her age, but Sheril himself might be her junior. [[BigScrewedUpFamily And technically, he's kind of her brother.]] ]]
3	** And, then, there are Sheryl's {{Ho Yay}} tendencies toward Tyki. If you know that [[spoiler: the Noahs are the same age they are when they turned into a Noah]], this makes it very {{Squick}}y.
4	* A LOT of confusing details about Allen's past are starting to make sense now that [[spoiler:the Fourteenth]] has revealed that [[spoiler:they knew each other and were good friends.]] The question is how did Allen [[spoiler:get younger than he was 35 years ago.]]
5	* There is another scene that the anime makes much, much worse by expanding upon. Not only is Lenalee grabbed, pinned down, and bitten by a bunch of skeletons, the ones on her thighs pry her legs open, one of them sticks its head up her skirt to do only the Earl knows what before the Earl shows up with MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily chattering like a nutcracker. Lenalee can only thank God that Allen showed up when he did.
6	* When Cross told Allen that when he turned into the fourteenth, he "would have to kill someone he loved", it was assumed he meant one of his friends from the Black Order. However, with the recent revelation that [[spoiler: the current Millennium Earl is in fact Mana Walker, and with the pretty well established fact that the 14th wants to destroy and replace the current Earl and Cross being in the loop all along, you realise that Cross had in fact been referring to the 14th taking over Allen and killing the Earl, because the Earl IS someone Allen loved.]]
7	* In episode 29, Sara the nurse turns her husband Richard into an Akuma after he's hit by a horse carriage and apparently dies in the hospital, as it was too late to save him. However, if you pick that Richard was clinging to life when he was moved to the hospital and that the head doctor is the one who attended him, [[spoiler:given his alliance with the Earl and TheReveal that he poisoned Lenny so he could die and make an Akuma out of him and Liza, is not outlandish to think that Richard could have survived, but the head doctor killed him in order to turn him and his wife into an Akuma]].

10	* [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Kanda]] noticeably mellows out next to Lenalee or Marie. This makes lots of sense when you realize that [[spoiler: those two were probably the first friends he had ever since the whole [[BreakTheCutie Alma]] [[JerkassWoobie incident]] ]]. Also Fridge SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming\|Moments}}.
11	* When the level 4 that attacked the headquarters is finally destroyed and only its head is remaining, Cross shoots it and hypocritically complains that they won't be able to experiment on him. This first seems like a pretty dumb, only for rule of funny thing to do, as studying the level 4 could bring some infos that might be helpful in the war. But when you pay attention to the face of Lvelier and the events of the Alma arc, this all makes sense! Cross knew about[[spoiler: the incoming third exorcist project and he didn't want to give them another element to submit young people to their experiments as he already brought them the Akuma egg.]]
12	* Sheryl badly wants to know the Truth about Nea from Bookman and is even ready to torture Lavi to get the informations. You would wonder why doesn't he just ask his son with a magic eye that allows to read in people mind to pick the truth in Bookman's head. But when you look at Road and Wisely 's conversations you realise that even if Sheryl asked him, Wisely wouldn't do it. This is because he promised Road to keep the secret about Nea. Both of them don't seem to be hateful at all towards Nea unlike some other noah.
13	* In the Noah's Ark, some exorcists don't manage to join the exit in time and thus disappear with the room. At the end of the arc [[spoiler: The Ark is restored and everyone is revealed to be alive]] this first seems a bit cheap and we can think that we were given some fake informations to up the tension. But then you realize that there is a computer theme going on. Actually when the rooms were destroyed they weren't immediately destroyed, the datas (and the exorcists with them) where kept as data buffer until the complete downloading of the Ark.
14	* The whole Alma Karma's motivation. So basically he wants to kill Kanda because [[spoiler: he resents Kanda for surviving him and moreover he he's rather kill Kanda than let him know that He is the woman he loved and has been searching for so long and thinks this would be too painful for him to learn this. So he chose to kill him rather than let him suffer...]] this seems like a rather selfish and weak motivation. Now remember what Sahlins Epstain said: "All second exorcists remembered their past life and they went crazy". This is exactly what happened to Alma. Still, Kanda is still more or less sane. Why? Precisely because of his sole purpose to find this woman that is his reason to live and is a keeper os his sanity. If Kanda learns the truth he will become just like Alma! Alma's motivation is then perfectly understandable. Now even further [[spoiler: Kanda did learn the truth. But still he hasn't gone crazy like he could have. This is because he now has another reason ti fight. If all the second exorcists went crazy at remembering their past, it's because they wish not to live any longer. The life of exorcist is way too awful to support and just remembering it and being forced to live it again is unbearable. Kanda now has made his own choice to live because of personal reasons instead of just being created and raised to fight the holy war like the other second exorcists. His being self concious and deliberate about being an exorcist with true personal motivation is what keeps Kanda from falling to madness!]]
15	* I just realized what an amazing piece of foreshadowing Debitto and Jasdero are! They literally sing about the big plot twist in chapter 220. [[spoiler: There was once a cradle There was another cradle within the cradle One become a twin And the other cradle disappeared within the mist A star that is shining brightly in the graveyard Disappears]]
16	* Many of the anime openings end with Allen and the Earl clashing and then a freeze-frame fade to Allen walking hand in hand with Mana. With the reveal that the Earl [[spoiler: is actually an amnesiac Mana]] this doubles as an intense TearJerker.
17	* The {{Foreshadowing}} of the Earl being [[spoiler: Mana]], the Noah being the actual plotters (using him as a tool) and the 14th being [[spoiler: Allen / the Heart]]:
18	** The Earl claims to not know why he spared Allen in the graveyard.
19	** Road says he is desperately searching for "his beloved Heart" and ([[spoiler: Mana had been desperately looking for Nea for years when he met Allen]]).
20	** He weeps when Allen plays the Ark for the first time ([[spoiler: The melody was sung to him and Nea by their mother in the past, and he taught Allen the notes himself]]).
21	** Despite claiming to hate Nea for killing the previous generation of Noah he seems more upset about the fact that Nea left and hasn't returned and is the visibly shook by that realization, ordering the Noah not to kill him despite knowing how much they fear and hate the 14th; something they note themselves is strictly out of character.
22	** He has the power to crush the Order if he'd like but doesn't ([[spoiler: Mana was a devout christian and FriendToAllLivingThings]]), and focuses instead on retrieving Allen.
23	** Cross says Allen has to "kill someone dear to him" once he is usurped by the 14th, and the 14th promises he'll kill the Earl.
24	** Both him and Allen are clown themed and he treats the Noah like his own children ([[spoiler: Mana was a street performer, a FriendToAllLivingThings and a father. Allen was his apprentice and assistant during performances.]])
25	** Tyki notes that when the Earl is in his human form, which's silhouette is very similar to [[spoiler: Mana's]] even before his face is revealed, he is surprisingly kind and generous to people for someone looking to commit mass genocide.
26	** He is implied to sleep a lot, particularly after being stressed, at which point the Noah begin to act of their own accord ([[spoiler: Mana was mentally and physically frail]]).
27	** He wields a replica of the sword Allen summons ([[spoiler: Mana and Nea/14th are LiteralSplitPersonalities of the same being]]).
28	** And then several characters mention that he is "forgetting" and losing his mind as a result ([[spoiler: Cross mentions Mana's mind starting to slip after the death of his brother. The name "Mana / Manna" furthermore means "Mind / Mystery" and is also short for "Manasseh" which means "To Forget / He who forgets"]])
