This episode is basically something like the prologue of Allen VS the Earl. Awesome episode again.:D

I didn't expect the Earl's voice to be like that.

And, weird how they changed the arc order, last minute decision? Oh well, still enjoyable. :D

Whoa, really good episode. Jean bugged me; annoying little brat. Dx Allen was just trying to keep him from getting into serious trouble... which he did anyway.

The Earl's voice was weird. What a way to end the episode though. I wonder what the story is behind Allen's curse, now, then?

Poor Allen. First he got depressed because the little brat called him 'wimpy' [that was the translation I got :D], and then he cried. Literally. From the onion bomb =))...

But wow.... finally some background story...

Watching this again, after having read the manga as well, the whole Allen turning Mana into an Akuma thing (obviously with the help of the Earl) is very ironic in a way...

This is a really cool anime :D Just a touch more humour and it would be absolutely perfect. The outlook is good so far! ^_^

Awn, Allen's hair wasn't white when he was a kid. That explains why in the manga his hair when kid has a dark color. >_<

The kid was really annoying I was honestly hoping he would get shot but allen had to go and save the little brat >_>

The earls voice was nothing like I expected it to be given his look but hes still awesome. Looking forward to seeing lenalee in action and what her weapon is.

I thought John really died there for a second!

I find it kinda creepy that Allen and the Millennium Earl are fighting inside a graveyard....

Allen turned his father into an Akuma? But how did doing that give him the "curse"?

I find it really annoying when they have to explain to their enemies what their skills and abilities are.
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."

"May those who defy their fate be granted glory."

That's quite tragic, that Allen turned his father into an Akuma :( So he got cursed because if he turned his father into an Akuma, the Akuma should've went into Allem's body, but it wasn't successful. Or I think that's what happened anyways. Either way, interesting stuff. Ended at a really good cliffhanger.

The episode is very beautiful but unless it is finally understood that Mileneium-Earl says that Allen made his father Akuma's past? It does not matter everything that will be evident in the next episode

Damn, poor Leo, lost his mom and then die to give place to an Akuma, and all at such a young age, pretty sad episode.

Interesting to see that glimpse of Allen as a child without his white hair.

Poor Leo.

And Allen's father was turned into an Akuma? Interesting. Hoping to hear more background on that.

It’s super interesting to hear more about Allen’s background. I hope they show us more.
And I also would’ve never thought that his father was turned into a Akuma.

There's one thing I absolutely loathe, kids with a disrespectful attitude. Jean brought it upon himself after not listening to Allen.

Good cliffhanger to leave this episode on, as any bit about Allen's backstory should be there right from the first minute.
