[[WMG: Count D's grandson will be killed by the Honlon sisters for harming a Human child in front of them.]]
Two of the Honlon Sisters(Kanan and Junrei in specific) were created by Humans touching the Honlon egg plus the the sister created by Count D's grandson touching the egg(Shuko) was tearing up when Chris left while Count D's grandson couldn't care less and was probably relieved at the Human leaving. Since all three sisters are sympathetic to Humans(specificly Human children) the moment they see Count D's grandson try to outright kill a Human child in front of them they'll enter UnstoppableRage and kill Count D's grandson and go for ''Count D''/Q-chan himself considering he's the one who's indoctrinated ''both'' his son(mad scientist) and grandson(petshop caretaker).

The D we all know and love, though, could only be Dee's creation when he learned enough about genetics and stuff; probably a backup plan for his eventual suicide when reborn as a ''human'' (Dee is long held, both in {{Fanon}} and {{Canon}}, to be insane; he could have been driven to insanity and death by the emotions of his "ancestor"). This experiment angered Sofu (the most likely host of the "ancestor's" memories, given that he knows the story the best), who took the new D with him in order to raise him... before he was ''complete'', as his mysterious [[SoapOperaDisease illness]] and eventual cure (that poor orangutan) seem to imply. For building D up, Dee could have taken part of his "father" (Sofu) and part of himself, therefore giving D his [[MismatchedEyes odd eyes]]. D is probably the most close in appearance to their "ancestor", if this holds true.

[[WMG: Count D, and the rest of his people, are [[ChangelingTheLost True Fae]].]]
Enigmatic, wield strange and terrifying power, and are inhumanly beautiful. The kingdom they hail from is Arcadia, and the pet shop's back door holds a portal to the Hedge - which is why the shop is so much BiggerOnTheInside. The pets are really changelings, and the incense the Count sells with them is to ensure the Glamour doesn't wear off. In some cases, as with Alice the rabbit, they are children being sold back to their families after their fetch met some untimely end.

D refused to sell the kirin to [[spoiler: Kelly]] though he was [[spoiler: the "king" the kirin ultimately chose]]. However, he instantly recognized Nancy as the Queen to whom the kirin should belong. Also, as mentioned off-handedly by D once in the series and expanded upon in Pet Shop of Horrors: Tokyo, Hitler's Blondie was a kirin in disguise. In that case too, D's grandfather bowed to Eva Braun and gave her the kirin. In both cases, the kirin chose consort of the "kings" first.

\n*This is impossible since he still has T-chan/Tetsu who he only acquired during Pet Shop of Horrors. I think he does have character development - before he was judgemental and set people up to be punished, now he's more inclined to use humans to fulfil his pets' needs without regard for what they deserve. It doesn't make him any more human, but I think he's given up on revenge.

* Alternately, it's possible that in the "main" universe, D ''is'' the hero, not the villain. His methods and results are not terribly different from some horror anti-heroes -- the main difference is that he's relatively indiscriminate in his targets. This instead raises the question of who his villain is.

[[WMG: The series is unoffical continuation of ''{{Gremlins}}'']]
Obvious, isn't it? A mysterious shop in New York Chinatown, selling creatures that have strange, supernatural conditions attached to them, that will cause disaster when broken. Count D even speaks of his grandfather who supposedly owns the shop, who is undoubtedly none other than the Chinese man in ''{{Gremlins}}''. Count D may be an ursuper rather than an actual grandchild though, and obviously has exactly the opposite philosophy concerning the shop's creatures to the original owner, who only wanted to keep them, and prevent them from falling into hands of people who couldn't hold the contracts - Count D on the other hand revels in chances to give his animals to such unsuspecting clients.

You all knew this would come up eventually. As for his TARDIS, it's obviously the Pet Shop, which has been stated by almost all characters who have gone into the back rooms to be far bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside.
*{{Shout Out}}?
*In volume 8, it is [[strike:heavily implied]] explicitly stated that he went back in time to rescue Peggy Greenberg[[spoiler: so that she would be inspired by her future self (whom D brought with him) to become Edna Hurry]].

Thus why D has suddenly lost ten volumes' worth of character development. We just have it confused because of the side stories involving Leon. That's also why they stopped after two installments -- the author realized that it was confusing people.
