D.Gray-Man - Chapter 166
True Colors
This was a shocking chapter. Huge revelation, although many people were already predicting this.
There’s a flashback where we see Allen and Mana and how they first met.
So, Allen and Cross finally meet. Cross bluntly tells Allen that he’s been implanted with the 14th’s memories and that he will awaken inside Allen. The 14th was the Noah that betrayed the Earl and was killed. He probably chose Allen due to his connection with Mana, and knowing Mana and the 14th were brothers, it makes sense.
Now, what does this really mean? The 14th awakening means Allen will have all his knowledge and memories? Will it mean that the 14th personality is really going to awaken and take over Allen’s body? Will they share their body? Will Malcolm take Allen way from his friends to Central in order to learn more about the Noahs and the Earl?
Thing’s don’t seem to be very good for Allen right now but, at least with the 14th awakening, Allen will probably become much stronger. This way, Allen would be able to finish the 14th’s job and kill the Earl.
I think Allen felt bad, because he couldn’t think of himself as a servant of his own enemy but, the truth is the 14th betrayed the Earl. So, even if he takes over Allen, he’ll probably still be on the good side.
I just hope they trust Allen and don’t imprison, although that’s what’s probably going to happen.
There’s a secret group overseeing their conversation. They are supposedly the elites of the elites. Does this mean, some of the most powerful Exorcists? I would like to see them in action.
Note: I also read an interesting theory by rhapsody blue on mangahelpers. Allen’s human "white" side and the 14th’s Noah "dark" side would merge when the 14th awakens making Allen of gray color, thus explaining the title.
