They sure "leech" the Black Order on that one. Next episode may just be Exorcists VS Lulubell.

This ep was a bit underwhelming...Allen should have used his best moves early on..he might have saved some more ppl...oh well..at least the Generals were on point.

General Cross is so cool! Even though I want to resist, I kind of <3 him, lol. Guess he just has that kind of effect on the ladies.... ^^;;

Really didn't seem like much happened this ep. And I don't understand Miranda's time reverse thing...If she could reverse time and have it stay that way permanently, why hasn't she been doing that all along? I always thought things went back to normal once she stopped. Whatever works I suppose...

You have it right....once Miranda stops time record then the egg will continue its descent back into the Earl's ark. The point of using time record is to buy time and decide what to do with the egg.

Also that was the best preview ever! So descriptive!

The second half nice episode really! (go go go generals! Sokaro is crazy-_- and I don't like his voice, but yey! his innocence is sooo cool!).
The first half...hmmm Allen too strong (check), Allen try to save poor scientist and he fails (check), all scream "Allen wake up!" "Walkeeeer" "Allennnnnn", yeah yeah we know, he's gonna react... déjà vu...
more generals please (also Miranda and Marie!)

Although the short sequence of the Generals' action was a minus... I think the General's fight was longer in the Manga.

Yeah really is too bad about those guys. Sadly Allen +Bookman just didn't have enough firepower to really do much. Could destroy some Level 3s but with those numbers it really didn't change much.

Allen did a lot of damage but he still lost. Even though the calls made him react was still going to fall through the gate into the Earl's ark. His strength isn't limitless and there is still a clear difference in power between him and the Generals.

Really the only one Allen saved in this episode was Reever. Wasn't able to stop the scientists from being turned into skulls. Though by keeping the level 3s busy might have limited the amount that got their heads smashed in.

Sokaro Winters was awesome. Maniacs are always fun to watch, + nice weapon.

I'm disliking the way Allen was just chopping up / stabbing through level 3s with his clown belt though ... I mean, I can understand him being able to do that with his sword and all, but its kind of ridiculous how many hes taking down now. I mean, these ARE level 3s, so they should be faster / tougher than your floating level 1 Akuma ... I guess its more of the animation that ruins it, since its somewhat sub par and really it seems like the Akuma are just standing still and letting Allen slice through a few twenty of them every second.

Well, there you have it. We know can confirm, which we couldn't from the last episode, that the Level 3s are insanely weaker than the one Lenalee fought. Why? Because Bookman killed tons of them as well with his heavenly compass (they actually exploded this episode).

The generals are cool. You gotta love Cross' judgment. Best weapon ever. Super powerful homing bullets? All he has to do is stand there and shoot and everybody die =D

Also, what's up with the short shower of rain near the end?

Yeah, that kind of annoys me. Dx They should stay consistant in power.


Allen's power level seems to change from episode to episode. O.o At one point the akuma are beating him, and then he unleases some random super attack and beats them up.

Dayumm, those generals are awesome. I love Cloud's innocence/monkey. xD And Cross flirts, AND kicks Akuma ass. That's multi-tasking for you.

not to mention bookman now only uses heaven compass. A LOT. he's like "oh shit this attack is epic winz. i shall spam them all. LMAO" cheese FTL.

cloud is hot. damn. i wish they'd show her blush after cross' flirt attacks :P

and shower in the end = akuma blood i think. which would be weird because that would have poisoned em all and stuff. except allen of course

It was alright in the first half but the second half was pretty badass.
Allen killed lots of akuma alright, but his fighting scene just didn't excite me. Especially not compared to episode 70 or 71? When crown clown first awakened. I suppose it's the drama? Or maybe just the awesome moves but the first half allen was just like cut cut and they're all dead. He even got knocked out pretty easily and I dunno, I was just wondering why he didn't use his good moves in the first place and only used it when he was pressured. I suppose..he couldn't? But he had used them before in the episode where his innocence truly awakened.

Still sad and shocked about all the dead supporting characters. >':
BTW, Miranda was awesome and did anybody else notice that Marie was in the same weird pose throughout the battle scene of the second half of the episode ever since he first appeared through Allen's ark? Funny pose >.<
I also squeled a little when the generals and Allen were all posing on the egg. Allen was on top and I'm assuming that there was a little foreshadowing going on.
The skullhead made me so pissed off. F them all.

I read the manga version of this episode and it was much much better. In comparison, it's pretty obvious that the anime creators were just trying to buy some time or something by extending Allen's fighting by making Allen, no offence, look like a pretty bad fighter. Manga version, Allen was awesome and the fighting scenes were awesome too. Allen was quick to hit and didn't wait till the very last moment to release an explosion of awesome fighting moves (unlike the anime Allen). Plus, Allen was knocked out in the manga too but it was much more of a reasonable reason:
This is the first time I've been so disappointed in the D.Gray Man anime. Of course this is just my personable opinion.

Tiedoll's Innocence is the coolest *_*! I know he used a different technique now, but whenever he says "Arto!", he just melts my heart away <3... It's still a mystery to me how I could like an old crybaby ugly-looking dude like him, but who knows...

Watching the generals fighting was amazing, just as Miranda said. I am kind of disappointed that they didn't get there earlier... I feel bad for all the scientists that were turned into skull-head things. ):

Allen's power and strength are... apparently extremely inconsistent. One second he was pwning all the akuma, and the next they were all pwning him.

Also... yeah, okay. Sine when can Bookman make level 3 akuma blow up? ._.''

Oh well. Still enjoyed the episode overall!

The General's are amazing. The episode owns most of the entertainment due to their fight. I just wish they came sooner...
Klaud Nine's innocence is probably the most distinctive and original of all the ones I've seen, and somehow, I couldn't but to be reminded of Pokemon... My brain must be pretty whacky...
And Cross? His innocence is just kick ass and I still love him despite being flirtatious jerk he is.

Allen's powers are being inconstant, and the akuma are too weak but at the same time defeat him? And even Bookman can destroy them now? What the heck.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Bookman was barely able to scratch such one back at the ship and lenalee almost died back at the ship cause of one single lvl 3 O.o and... and... they ran away in Edo cause they couldnt fight them... but... how come Bookman can kill like 10 in one shot now!? O.o im confused... did they suddenly get back to the lvl 1 stage of weakness?! O.o

But daaaang i love that woman :D the monkey is sooo dang cute and cool xD

The beginning of this episode was really frustrating and hard to watch. It bothered me seeing Bookman somehow take on dozens on level 3 akumas when he wasn't able to put a dent in just one of them not too long ago. Honestly I feel like a lot of the exorcists have had unjustified power-ups lately and were able to hold their own against the Noah clan when they should have been easily killed by them.

Yeah I agree that it felt like they dragged out the beginning part a bit, making Allen seem like he forgot about his powers or something and only using the good moves when he's got caught. Makes me want to read the manga. I really dislike it when they do that in anime, making fights last longer in a non-creative and interesting way. Always makes our protagonists look weak ._.

But man, the marshalls were so hype (is it marshall or general?). The Winters Sokaro guy though, wow, didn't expect someone who likes violence to be one of the marshalls. I'm glad he's on the exorcists side though...he beat up those giant akuma without a sweat.

Loved Tiedoll's Embracing Garden, what a beautiful defense technique. Klaud Nine's Innocence was really cool as well, although seems like she doesn't have to do anything herself.
