YES! :D
I'm baaaack! There's a new chapter out too~! Can today be any better? Actually, if there was no school tomorrow... ;) It's been a while people. Two months? If you subscribed and are still, I'm amazed. :) Anyway, let's get on with the chapter...
It begins with the regular overview of the manga, setting, the Noahs and akuma, and how the Black Order opposes them, yadda yadda yadda. Then you skip to page 5 (the ones in between are character intros...I think) and you see Wisley (remember him) attacking Kanda. Then we're thrown back to 30 minutes before the Noahs were attacking everywhere (see last chapter for details). The scientists are crowding around an object, waiting for a full-scale introduction of the Third Exorcist Project.
We see a figure trapped under what appears to be a seal. The figure is named "Alma Karma". He is the womb from which the Third Exorcists are created. Johnny is shocked and horrified, because Alma looks like he's Allen's age. Then all subordinates of the section leaders look int their manual to read about artificial disciples. We learn that the Second Exorcist was born from the research of the artificial disciple, and we find out there were two test bodies. At the same time, Zhu (from Asian Branch) shows up, and he wants to talk to Alma. When he reaches Alma, he is crying, and is upset because he didn't know Alma was alive.
Leverrier tells us that Alma has been unconscious for years, and that he wouldn't have told Zhu that Alma was kept alive to be their tool. He says he was concerned because Alma killed the then Head. It's then read in Johnny's book that the death of 46 lab personnel was a massacre. Zhu asks if Kanda knows that Alma is alive, and Leverrier replies that since the two were "friends", that it would have been painful. Johnny reads that the only one left alive was the other test subject...Kanda Yuu. Zhu replies to that by yelling, "We made the fight to the death!" Johnny barfs, and we find out that as long as Alma regenerates, Kanda will be torn apart limb from limb.
Next we find a man, and a doll. They are the Millennium Earl and Rhode respectively. After the Earl goes into a depression about the 14th, he's seemingly attacked by multiple beams. They, however, stop before they touch him. He comments that he is Adam, the first apostle, the "Millennium Earl". Quote: "The Millennium Earl cannot stand still. I will expose the exorcists' "heart", and until I send God into the darkness, I won't allow anything to stop me from standing."
As the building is being invaded, Johnny decides to live, so he won't burden Allen with his life. As the scientists are running, Sheryl takes control of their bodies. They're walking away from the shelter, and pass guards that are choking themselves. They walk into the room with Alma, but there are new additions. The earl, the Rhode doll, Wisely, and unconscious figure, some scientists, Bak, Renee, Leverrier, and Level 4 akuma. The person is found to be Kanda, with a hole right under his ear. Apparently, he had his head crushed by Wisely.
Zhu's shocked, and realizes what they want. Of course, Wisely reads his mind and agrees, saying they want "'Love' and 'Tragedy'". Quote: "you guys are the ones who should know this very well. Meddling in things that should not be meddled with. And what came out of doing that is what the Black Order detests the most. You will be killed by the demon you yourself created."
Renee and Leverrier realize they want to use Alma, but Leverrier believes it's hopeless. Wisely comments that Alma is so sealed that his evil eyes can't see through. Instead, he uses Kanda. Kanda see Alma, and we get a scene of Alma first meeting Kanda, comment that he thought he was the only one. In the panel we get an aerial shot of Kanda seeing Alma, and those imaginary lotuses are back. Bak and Zhu in particular are worried about what's happens Leverrier stares uninterestedly, and the Earl smiles at them. He says, "Come now everyone! A morning conviction for Alma Karma-chan~! <3"
Sheryl comments that they're waiting for another guest, who was lured by bait in form as the third exorcists. Suddenly, an ark gateway appears under Sheryl, and Allen shoots out, yelling, "Return my comrades!" The Earl says, "You came. <3 This nuisance of mine... Allen Walker!"
There, the chapter ends, and any extra pages are from the magazine. Now then, I need to let my opinions and theories out!
There was another test subject besides Kanda? Who wants to bet that Alma's who Kanda was looking for? Or that Alma has something to do with the curse? The Earl being a Noah is odd, and seeing his human form is even more odd. This chapter is just more ammo for me hating Leverrier, and now Renee. Plus, you have to feel bad for Johnny. he's not used to all this, and it's happening so fast, there's no time to assimilate it before the next thing comes at him faster than a jet. I think that's all! Kinda short on my opinions, but I'm still trying to assimilate it! There will be more conspiracy theories next time~!
Until next time~! <3
HOLY COW!
Alright, I'll continue this.
Now then, we last left off with a mention of a tragedy, and a screenshot of Kanda. Are these two related? Probably. Let's find out! ^.^
We pick up at the Asian Branch HQ, where Bak is struggling to get through the Ark's Gate to complain about Leverrier having Renee turn humans into half-akuma to Central. Unfortunately for him, everyone else there doesn't want him to, and they have Fou (remember her?) restrain him. She yells at him to, "Calm down already, you stupid moron!" He rebuts that he s not a moron. Fou rationalizes that the experiments have succeeded already and are a proven fighting force, making it hard to get rid of them. Plus Komui's not making a fuss, so why should he? Fou starts dragging him to get work done, which he has been pushing off ever since the Ark door was opened. Right before they leave the room Kanda walks through the Gate into Asia Branch HQ.
In the cafeteria, a man, called "Old Man Zhu" is told by Fou, with a megaphone, that Kanda is here to see him. Zhu starts talking about the vegetables he's examining. Bak realizes that is why Kanda's there, and Kanda comments he's not one to visit other places for no reason, unlike a certain branch chief. >.> Bak comments that Mugen is the best thing Zhu ever made, so he'd guess Zhu would want to check up on its owner. From there, silence sets in.
Kanda breaks it by saying, "They're starting it again, huh. This time they're turning people into half-akuma so they can feed on other akuma? Brilliant, just brilliant." Bak realizes Kanda's talking about the third exorcists, and apologizes, saying "We haven't hurt you have we?" and "We failed to keep the promise we made to you!" Bak says Kanda should hit him for that, but Kanda hits Bak for the insinuation that he's "hurt".
Kanda also says, "Stop coming up with weird ideas. You don't have anything to apologize for. I don't give a crap what happens to the Order." Bak says that Kanda may feel that way, but the feeling is not mutual. He says, "It was our clan that created you in the synthetic disciple project that Central forced upon us...nine years ago... Caught up in our dreams of a group of 'second exorcists', ...It was my clan, the Chan family, and the Epstein family that made that huge mistake."
Kanda gets a flashback of a younger him and an old man. The man is saying, "Kanda, do you still see the flower? I see...let's keep this a secret, just between you and me. You mustn't dwell on it. It's just an illusion. That flower is an illusion."
Meanwhile, the scientists spend all of their lunch break to find Zhu's hearing aid...in his underwear. Zhu comments he must be getting old, with Fou saying "Ya damn well are, you stupid old fart." Zhu is the manufacturer of anti-akuma weapons and also head chef, Zhu Mei Chan.
Lou Fa is happy, because she sees Allen coming out of the gate, along with Lenalee, making Rikei happy. Allen thanks Lou Fa for the mitarashi dango, and Lenalee explains to Rikei that she's on a mission. Link buts in, and says that they must find Kanda at once. The half-akuma tell them that they will stay near the Ark. Kanda's apparently needed for a mission to Istanbul.
Lou Fa says that the third-exorcists are creepy, and she can sympathize with Bak. She's not even sure if it's a good idea. Rikei says they are a boost to their forces. As the two start arguing, Lou Fa starts tearing up, saying that if they won that way, it wouldn't feel right. Rikei is bullied into apologizing, and Lenalee tells Lou Fa not to cry. Allen says "Whatever may happen to the Order, we'll still be us. As long as we keep moving forward for what we believe in, it will be all right!" Allen thinks he recited those words like they were a charm.
Zhu watches, and says that they make him consider his own sins. Then it moves to Kanda, surrounded by lotuses and Zhu thinking, "Do you still see the flower?
Theory time!
This was a long explanation, with even more quotes than usual. *sigh* Now then...
*GASP!* Kanda was synthesized? 
Holy cow! This is sad. And there was a second group? it makes sense now, thinking about it. Why else would they call the half-akuma "third-exorcists"? I wonder what happened to the other "second-exorcists". The lotus makes sense now too, kinda. At least it explains why Kanda'll die when the last lotus petal falls. Renee seems like an idiot at the moment. I wonder how this will affect the rest of the story.
