**08: Awakening**

* ... Why are they using smoke to censor Tokusa's severed limbs? They were fine with showing them earlier so this seems inconsistent
* ... now it's pipes? WTF Hallow. Did this air on the wrong timeslot or something?
* Tokusa saved them all?
* "zero causalities" should be "zero casualties" ...
* Alma feels that Yu "betrayed" him?
* AND NOW IT'S A BAR OF LIGHT? weird censorship. The earlier eps of Hallow were fine with blood and severed limbs. Too bad the Bluray release for this got cancelled
* Kanda gonna destroy Alma all over again? [](#sadholo)
* Alma became an Akuma, and now the Thirds are transforming too?
* The Alma cells inside them are resonating with the dark matter?
* Allen's Innocence is acting all on its own?
* Tokusa is in despair! [](#therethere)
* ALL the Thirds are mutating?
* Why does Fiedla have green hair?
* The nucleus of the Akuma egg is made from the Earl's _soul_?
* ... I really feel for Alma and Tokusa
* ... oh, that's the Earl's plan? Blackmail Allen into coming with them?
* Kanda's still seeing visions of that woman?
* Now they're censoring Alma's injuries?
* ... Tokusa doesn't recognize Allen anymore?
* There goes Allen's leg
* Johnny asking the big question there
* The Earl sounds extra sultry, saying he wants to be by the 14th's side
* Allen wants to save Alma?
* For is encouraging Allen to believe he can save Alma and the Thirds?
* Bak has the same ?magic tattoos? on his arm as Alma? Must be a Chang magic thing
* Zuu Mei Chang is the MVP, healing Allen with Atuuda!
* Renny says there's no way Alma actually wants to kill Yu? [](#nocomment)
* ... Kanda went berserk?
* Kanda attacked Allen with Mugen? Oh great
* ... Alma is crying? Why won't Yu notice?
* Oh, Alma must have seen the reason why Yu "betrayed" him to live, 9 years ago?
* Allen SOREDEMO!!!

* I bet the yaoi fangirls loved the subtext there [](#hikariactually)
* Now KANDA is bridal carrying Alma? [](#romance)
* The 14th DOES look like Tyki!
* ... are we gonna have to say goodbye to Allen now? [](#kusottare)

**First time ENG dub reactions:**

* "Why are you being so cruel to him?" no bully Alma!
* The Earl saying he wants to be by the 14th's side sounds WAY different vibes in the dub. Menacing rather than sweet
* "The only thing he wanted was your friendship and you've made him suffer for it" (dub) vs. "you wanted to live together even when it meant you had to leave your hatred behind" (sub)

----

**Manga Comparison Corner:**

* This consists of most of v21's chapter 195, 196, 197, and first 11 pages of 198. (v21.38-141)
* There's no censorship of missing limbs in the manga.
* In between 195 and 196, v21 has an omake saying for generations, Wisely has suffered from headaches.
* I think the anime cut mutatedTokusa attacking Johnny, Lvellie, Renny, Zuu and the others there.
* Manga has Zuu carve out a ritual on the ground, saying For will only last as long as the Spirit Stone doesn't break.
* The anime doesn't show Tyki's arms transformed with dark patterns like when he fought in the Ark.
* Manga has Renny say "Alma will never forgive us."
* In between 196 and 197, v21 has an omake explaining the marks on Bak's arms.

Rewatcher

Sub

Now that Alma is back as an Akuma, we have the Kanda vs Alma showdown.

Allen Allen Allen, there is no easy way to save this but... you can't save everyone. You are one person and can only do so much.


\[DGM\]>!Besides, Johnny, Reever etc are fine, Hoshino loves Johnny too much to kill him off!<).

Lenalee already gave you the speech, Kanda gave you the lecture, Now Toskua gives you the rant.

See, told you Allen. There all fine.

Oh for goodness sake, we've had enough blood to fill the Olympic stadium be shred, and now they are censoring shit!

Good to know Alma, we can blame all of Humanity's ills on Kanda and Kanda alone.

Kanda is not convinced, as much as he's not too bothered about being disliked, he still has a rep to keep.

Meanwhile, Toksuka decides to include his other Third members within, but evolving into the 4 head stomaches, that makes even Mr blobby looks pleasant in comparison.

Most likely, no such thing as coincidences in D Gray Man world Allen-kun.

As Allen's innocence now starts acting up on it's own, wanting to destroy Akuma shit in Toskua's body. not god per say, but his 66th in Leville mate.

All around the world, the L3 brigage start morphing into heads on bodies, oh winters you've got a well-muscled body, the one decent thing about ou beyond Noriko Voicing you.

Jash Devi looking thrilled at seeing Goushi going even bigger, while Tryde does the stoic act.

christ when Link can take down L4's without issue so soon. You know they are as big losers as the rest of the Akuma. Too quick the L3's/L4's became jobbers, as much as the fillers dragged out the original anime pace, at least the L2's still remained a decent threat for a good while.

Another boneheaded decision by the order to use the egg stuff in the L3's.

He's not all by himself Alma akuma, he has Marie, Lena, Tidedoll. and the rest like Bean spout and everyone else he barely gives notice to.

Akuma in you says yes to Allen being enemy Touska, not much you can do at the moment about it.

Earl's new VA actually is sounding closer to Jupei here once he is being serious. not quite the same, but it's passable enough for me compared to when he's being over the top.

But Alama says piss on his offer, he wants Kanda dead, so Kanda is going to die or him first.

Yu is so pissed, that he makes his hair Allen like now.

Not quite, But Bak does look close enough for him to serve the role in question, that's so secretive even he doesn't know what it is.

Alma hate him, Tui, Zu, Renny, Crows, those Unnamed scientists, Kanda, heck he even hates us and he doesn't know we exist.

Toskua smashes Allen, puny clown God!

Why Johny asks, why is the 14th so important to the Earl, I'll do you one better Johnny, why is Allen!

Tykki's face is so off model with his nose especially sticking out that it made me crack up.

Bak decides it's time to bring out the For, the one that can kick arse, chew Allen out and not be out of bubblegum.

Allen, not the time to be getting into despair, Tykki-pon is there to hit on ya.

Coming or not allen?

For as always, knows exactly how to motivate Allen and get him out of self pity mode.

And Allen knows how to fluster her like only he can.

That is one bad cut to the knee, but Zu is on hand to fix it up.

For vs Tykki is on now.

While Allen tries to intervene between Kanda and Alma, but this sends Kanda from pissed to psycho in record time, Bean Spout being the thing that keeps coming back.

As Bak's golden ball continues to break quicker than lemon sherbet.

Alma's turn to want to know why Allen is playing the savior role again.

As his regen circle takes a hit, while Kanda springs to life once more.

After all this time, the tension between Bean and soba finally boils over, as allen rants, Kanda sneers. innocence activate and more.

And then sword goes right into Allen, uh oh, Allen's getting the tan... the 14th is finally coming out to play.

Right when Kanda gets a grip and sees Alma's face.

Earl's jumping for joy with isleys till out of it and Cheryl/Sheryl looking bewildered.

Kanda once again is the ill for us all, thanks old chum.

Yes Reever, we can see it for ourselves thanks, the order has more captain obvious's than the whole American Navy.

Allen and a handsome fellow in a snowy place.

\[DGM\]>!I's Nea at last!<).

No surprise on the Thirds's putting Akma stuff into them was never going to end well.

Yes and no on Kanda penrtating allen, shouldn't have done it. But it's not like he would know for sure the 14th would come out like this, plus Allen was getting all in his face and triggering all his berserk buttons. So it's not all on Kanda, since this is partially happening because of the Order's continued doctorate in stupidness.

**First Timer (for Hallow), Sub**


Well in other news I'm finally used to Kanda's new voice (though Sakurai will always be Kanda to me). Anyway most ot the episode details the battle between him and Alma while Allen deals with that whole situation as well as Tokusa's existential crisis in between the Earl and the Noah just enjoying the show.


Allen is able to understand the conflict between Kanda and Alma so he tries to step in and calm them down, which doesn't really work until he does something as drastic as letting himself get stabbed. But this just plays into the Earl's hands so now who's up? Nea D. Campbell and he seems poised to finally take over.

**Re.Awakened-man**

So we started on the 11/10 scale of bad (Epstein x Hitler opening a kindergarten), and since then, everything's been getting worse. It's the avalanche of shit.

* The Akuma-exorcists turned into Akuma [](#surprisedpikachu)
* The Noah-exorcist turned into a Noah [](#maxshock)

You know, maybe they should stop mixing with evil afterall...

>3) Should Kanda have known better than to penetrate Allen with his Innocence?

[](#ero)

He should've penetrated Allen with something Allen likes, like a sausage.

>4) Thoughts on the censorship this ep?

We were robbed of the full penetration OVA.

[](#pout)

###First Timer

* Fucking Johnny is still alive.

* How did the religious fanatics decide that mixing with devils is a good idea? This should be listed first under heresy in every religion fanatic handbook.

* Weird but somewhat creative censorship.

         [](#laughter)
