- [His eyes are gold now…?](https://i.imgur.com/4A8SIV5.png) [](#emiliaohdear)

- [Damn, that scar is *nasty.*](https://i.imgur.com/b2S6pOX.png)

- [Ah, Allen’s back to normal.](https://i.imgur.com/A0BzbTt.png)

- [Seems like Tyki’s not doing so hot now either, huh.](https://i.imgur.com/TGxd70p.png) …also his new voice is another one I just *really* can’t vibe with compared to his old one. It doesn’t help that his new design is so different my brain also refuses to recognize him as Tyki… [](#toradorasalute)

- [Timothy is studying under Klaud, huh.](https://i.imgur.com/A1AijAH.png)

- [Timcanpy sleeping on Link’s head is rather cute btw.](https://i.imgur.com/tRJrEMu.png)

- [Hm…?](https://i.imgur.com/2RIRsCI.png) [](#curious)

- [Aw shit, Allen’s eye reacted to that arm](https://i.imgur.com/jEsoY5i.png) while [the arm reacted to Innocence.](https://i.imgur.com/mslIi50.png) So that new arm weapon *is* the whole "cannibalization" method of dealing with Akuma?

- [Finally, some more about what the lotus flower means to Kanda.](https://i.imgur.com/IY7qAOQ.png)

- [Oh god, all of the Noah are on the move…](https://i.imgur.com/AOjVqAt.png) [](#ohfuck)

- …I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think Yutaka Aoyama is actually a good fit for the Millennium Earl. [](#spilledtea)

- […huh.](https://i.imgur.com/lAPZLqR.png)

- [Oh, yeah, looks like Tyki got his stigmata back somehow?](https://i.imgur.com/d0Mv6bm.png) [](#niatilt)

**04: Blood Crusade**

* Allen has a vision? A giant ?cross? in the sky, and a deep voice speaking to him?
* "defiled soils" LOL it should be "souls"
* [manga]>!yup, that's the Pillar!<
* Now Mana appears in the vision? [manga]>!and his golden eyes are even more obvious!<
* Mana calls Allen by something that isn't his name, and they run towards the freaky cross thing? All while surrounded by the ruins of modern skyscrapers and streetlights???
* Yeah, this 'dream' has more to it than surface level. Lots to analyze or speculate about there
* Allen with golden eyes and a massive scar?
* OH FUCK that's not Allen any more ... [](#watashiworried)
* ... but Allen returned to being Allen once Lenalee woke up? Phew
* I feel like we didn't need the Lenalee fanservice
* Allen thinks Lavi would have "assaulted" Lenalee if he saw her like that? [](#scaredmio)
* Ah, the nuclear option, "telling Komui that Allen and Lenalee are alone together in a locked room" [](#laughter)
* Oh, the subs I'm watching don't use Road's "Tycky" nickname like the previous anime? That's going to bug me; I miss this being on CRoll so I can watch the official subs. And of course they had to CANCEL the Bluray release so I can't buy that either
* Not sure I like Road's new voice, but Tyki's is ok
* Rob Neel looks so different in this compared to OG series, I barely recognize him
* Timothy will become Klaud's apprentice? and Emilia is still his tutor?
* ... Kanda didn't report Allen getting possessed by the 14th in Paris to Komui? And maybe Marie didn't notice since he's blind and his headphones were broken
* Renny Epstain? She looks a little different compared to the original series
* Allen is sparring with Marie? I guess that makes sense
* Allen's gonna get in trouble for worrying over Akuma souls and their potential salvation (or lack thereof), Road was right
* Allen doesn't want to forget his precious memories with Mana
* 'Darkness' that Allen and Kanda are caught in? What could Marie mean?
* Kanda saved Marie?
* Krory looks younger in this artstyle
* Allen got bumped into Gousi and his Innocence activated?
* "half-Akuma"? Genetically engineered from humans? That sounds sketchy
* OH! so THAT is what Renny and Malcolm were up to? using the egg fragment [](#bruh)
* tragedy from nine years ago? [](#nocomment)
* Zuu Mei Chang? a relative of Bak's? And For announces that Yu is here to see him?
* "When the ones who created 'them' proceeded with the artificial apostle plan due to the Central Agency" WELP
* the "illusion" of the Second Exorcists??
* oh, the Changs and Epstains were the ones who carried it out?
* Third Exorcists "by order of the Pope" UGH here we go
* Kanda sees illusionary lotus flowers?
* Tower Bridge? Might be an anachronism; we don't know exactly what year in the imaginary 1890s this is set
* That's Souichirou Hoshi, isn't it?? [](#dekuhype)
* A wild Noah awakens? And this one hasn't been around for the last 35 years?
* I bet Sky is gonna HATE the Earl's new VA, Yutaka Aoyama
* note: the panther is Lulu Bell
* new Noahs???
* oh, the 14th killing them 35 years ago "damaged" their memories and created a "time lag" between their next reincarnations?
* new names: Toraido, Joyd, Desiras, Fiedla, Maushyma, Bondomu, Lustre, Maitora, Wrathra, Wisely. Some of those are official, others (Joyd, Des, Bond, Lust, Wrath) we don't have databook versions confirmed
* Wisely can read minds?
* The 12 of them have been repeatedly reincarnating for the last 7000 years? But the Earl is different
* Wisely recognizes that Tyki looks just like the 14th, and Road tells him that's secret???
* I'm actually curious whether Sky will approve of using Aoyama for a hateable villain like the Earl, or if she's just going to hate the experience of having to hear his voice
* so the anime doesn't specify, but Marie Lavi Bookman Chaozii are in China, Krory's in Russia with Miranda, Socalo, Kiredori; Lenalee and Klaud are in Greece with Timothy and Gousi. Allen is in Jordan with Madarao and Tokusa
* Ok, Tokusa is a bit of a brat. But we can't expect Thirds to care about Akuma souls like Allen does
* "my own body will become sustenance for God" sounds sus
* TYKI! and he just cut Tokusa's arms off?
* Maushyma and Cheryl are with him? Meanwhile Fiedla appeared where Lavi & co. are, and Toraido + the twins in Russia?
* ok, no one told me Lulu Bell can turn into a FUCKING DRAGON [](#jawdrop)
* The Thirds have a similar regeneration to Yu and "Alma Karma"?
* Is Yu a "Second Exorcist"?
* wait, Madarao is gonna absorb Tokusa? Just like that?
* "There's no longer any point in him living" Well that's harsh
* "Alma cells"? [](#blankblink)
* Alma Karma is the "parent body that merged with the nucleus of the Akuma egg" and provided the Thirds with cells?
* A first-class mission of "becoming parent bodies themselves"? That's fucked up, but I'd expect nothing less from Lvellie and Renny
* If the Third Exorcist thing succeeds, they'll replace the reliance on normal Exorcists and Innocence!
* The Noah's new Ark sure is flexible, creating ripple-looking gates on floors or cave walls like that
* Kanda's with Tewaku and Wisely somewhere? is he in Jordan too?
* Oh no, Wisely is mentioning "Alma" to Kanda? This won't end well
* "Let me use your brain for our party" WELP

**First time ENG dub reactions:**

* dub Link says Linalee? like linen? huh
* General "Klaud" sounds like "Claude" instead of "Cloud" in the dub?
* "Epstain" like "stain" instead of rhyming with "vine"?
* "human-Akuma crossbreed?"
* Wait, is Zuu voiced by King Bradley??
* The Earl says "my lovely family" instead of "my brothers" in the dub?
* "this is the mouth of damnation: get swallowed and go to Hell" [](#bruh)
* In the dub, Tokusa goes after Allen's "sympathy" for Akuma souls instead of "high and mighty Apostles"
* Cheryl says the Noah aren't the true enemy, the one they should REALLY be scared of?
* Alma says "the world will be free of evil" instead of "the world we believed in will be there"

Rewatcher

Sub

With Allen stabbing himself last episode, we got our first time with the 14th creeping into speaking via him, and now he is dreaming about it in the ruin of a modern city.

Think you mean souls subs, not soils.

What is Allen doing with a sword in his body, trying to recreate Cross's recent artpiece of posing dead with lots of blood, though it's not quite going to plan.

Mana the clown is here to entertain us all.

Kid Allen is back, but apparently Mana calls him by a different name.

Meow, Allen you are truly one fit person, the Noah eyes looking good on you with the rest of your fine body.

Ah, Lenalee was sleeping right next to Allen on the Inspector's bed.

Hey Two Mole, piss off and let the to be couple bond for a sec will ya?

Yes your work, of spying and stalking Allen because you work for Hitler, excuse me or Allen for not wanting to comply with that, hmph!

Now that's just low Two Mole, playing the Komui card, fucking clock blocker.

Road's new VA really lacks the same child malicious that Ali had as her, that really made Road so compelling everytime she was on screen in the original anime.

Yikes Tykki, you have some creepy smiles in your broken glass. Tykki's new VA has the tone.pattern down, but is lacking that affability that makes Tykki what he is to me.

Oh look, Bak-chang is here, keep that creepy away from Lena and I won't have any problems with him.

Kanda as affable as ever.

Not a fan of Remi's new design, really preferred her original one for being different to the other designs of women characters in the series. This one feels and looks too feminine, which we have plenty of in the series as it is.

Allen's training with Marie, and learning only way for akuma to be destroyed without innocence, cannbalisim or Noah blowing them up, destroying them etc.

Oh yes, red guy sucked up that L3 like nothing. No wonder Allen's interested in the matter.

Marie picking up on Allen's conflict over Akuma, careful Allen-kun. Your already getting a rep for being a Noah, Akuma lover isn't a rep the others will understand other than Kro-chan.

Marie, it's been causing Allen pain since day one, plus his eye has evolved that others around him can see the souls, or Lavi could with Elaide. You know, they never did explore that with Lena, Kanda or anyone else? Wonder if that was just a one-off?

Allen and Kanda being so much alike? you know, Marie is right, both stubborn, very in their ways. Will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, bicker with anyone that pisses them off. Where they diverge is how they do it and their manners.

So Kanda saved you Marie? No wonder you can put up with him so well.

Right into big green haired Crow, one touch from allen's arm and WHAM! Allen goes into the wall.

Kro-chan's rocking that 80's mullet nicely.

Small Crow brings his mate in line.

The main green hair one steps forward, half Akuma? Half human? This stinks of Leville.

\[DGM\]>!Whom I'm suspecting created them with something in mind that will benefit him long run, especially with them with the Earl by the end of the anime!<).

And Remmy is behind it, thanks to using the Akuma egg for her work? Oh Remmy Remy Remmy, so disappointed in you, you seemed a good person when we last saw ya during the Skull stuff?

Me too Komui, looks like they got enough data or shit from it before it got destroyed.

Negative legay eh? And we are back at the Asina Branch.

Hi Fou, great to see you again, still the same spitfire spirit that we all love, new VA has her down well.

Second Excorists? Nine years ago? Focus on Kanda makes it clear this is something to do with him.

\[DGM\]>!At last, we are getting Kanda's backstory after over 100 episodes!<).

Chang and Espetien's fmaily were involved, the plot gets thicker and thicker.

Now we have the Third Excorists, and of course, Americans created them.

The lotus flowers, been a while since we have seen them.

London Bridge, and oh shit! Another Noah is coming to life. And they have the strange eye to go with it.

35 year absence? You have been gone a fair bit Mr new Noah.

Hi Earl, new VA was never going to live up to Jupei in my view, but this guy. Doesn't even come anywhere near close to trying to capture the Earl's comedic monster like personality.

Christ Noah's what are you wearing? Tykki, Jashdevi? You've been stripped of your unique looks, never like hoshino changing up their wear from Tim Burton victorian like goth to what seems to be belly dancers wear or cross fit clothing.

Takes away one of the things that made them stand out, now we have even more of them.

Lulu's stuck as a panther.

Time lag because of the 14th?

Second Noah/Apostle Tryde, Kanda impression down well.

Third, Jyode/ Tykki.

fourth that we saw at the end of the original anime, Desire or Sheri Kamelot as he's better known as.

Sith Feeda, he's a right ugly one.

Mercyma the seventh? With very modern-looking sunglasses and could give 50 cent a run for his money.

\[DGM\]>!With the Noah being from practically the modern age, this isn't a surprise!<).

Road would be the ninth.

Yeah, I'm really missing the goth look on Jashdevi, it really suited Devitt.

Lulu's twelve and some Noah in a costume or some sort called Mightra.

\[DGM\]>!Creator of the Arks and Skulls according to the fanbook!<).

Earl son of Adam, and of course the 5th being Wisley with the eye.

Yep, Skinn's dead mate, god rest that poor bastard's soul.

Oh my, they changed their disposition quick seeing the Earl's fat body.

\[DGM\]>!The suit being a golem for the Earl's human form that he knows!<).

Road bouncing beside the Earl is adorable.

Exposition as Noah apprnaltey have been around for 7000 years, 12 of them serve to help the Earl, yadda yadda yadda.

It's more than just being human with Tykki Wise, he has people he care for and wants to get back to.

Akuma on the move as Lavi and gang fight them in Asia in the r-fight in China.

Kro, Miranda and Winter's in Moscow.

Klaud, Tim, Lena, and the big third Excorist i think in Greece?

Third Excorists to flank Allen in canyon place, to help him not extend himself too far.

Allen see's the souls, calling out to him. As they melt awwwaaayyy!

Tokusa starts flipping off, so Tykki comes in to set him straight and because he's thrilled to see Allen.

Meanwhile, his companions, Mercym who is cool as a wetgrass and Shirley, who is bewildered and no doubt annoyed to see the one that his adopted daughter is crushing on.

Freeda to see Lavi/Panda.

Jashi/Devi and Tryde to see Kro-chan and team.

While Lulu, in a bit with animation sticking out badly, has become a dragon.

Two Mole's on the case for Allen as always.

Alma Karma? Are they the one that Kanda is living for?

Madarao, decides his mate is done so time to suck him dry like the good comrade he is.

Alma Karma's the first cell, created from the Egg eh?

So they are to be offered eventually and offered to god? Oh could be worse, could get stabbed.

Feel for you bud, though if you kne Allen's, Lena's, Lavi's, Miranda's, Kanda's, basically everyone but Barry's lives. You will find none of them had it easy.

Sheril's VA nails their slimey personality so well. I instantly loath that smug looking git.

Congrats Kanda, you get to go to the Noah party, word of advice, take protection as the one Lavi went to with Road, didn't end well for either.

Christ that was a lot to write about, Third Exorcists are an interesting bunch, with Tokusa getting the main stuff so far, wanting to sve the world and be equal to the Excorists.

A lot of new Noah's right out of the gate, fitting name from what we know of the known ones, new ones we will see.

Another lair of mindfuck for Allen. We have seen the conflict before with Allen and his ideals on akuma, so very familiar ground, with Marie mainly repeating what Lavi said on the matter.

**D.Fourteenth-man**

Man, the third exorcists were first class jobbers even in the manga, but seeing them go down in the same episode they're introduced in might as well be comedy.

So not only are the Order complete hypocrites, they're also getting nothing of value out of that. If you're gonna fuck around with god, at least get an apple.

On the other end of it, we've got the full Noah clan (they skipped their intro at the end of the first season), and uhh... I kinda don't care for most of the new ones? I like the Yugioh kid, but the rest are whatever, as for the originals, I don't know what kind of magic happened to make Zombie Izaya and Shizuo hot. This breaks some law of the universe.

[](#spinning)

Should i watch this one?
