Rabi is taking on his own attack. Linali watches in horror as Allen screams for him. It's his intention to burn both his dark side and the Noahs together, but inside him, in his heart the fake Rabi looks down at the true fallen Rabi. He wonders what made him so different from all the other 48 incarnations of bookmen. He morphs into his child-like form from the past and screams that Rabi is stupid for deviating from his path and choosing the feeble humans to stand by. The real Rabi only stares at him from the corner of his eye. Rabi recalls in the beginning how easy it was to detach himself from people as he saw them create wars and argue amongst themselves. He thought himself different. Real Rabi asks the child version if he knows why humans don't change? The child begins to cry and wonders why he is basically asking himself that. Real Rabi says it's because it's what he's always wanted to know the answer to, both of them have, the only one who started to change was his dark side, the child, and because of that..he should be the one to disappear. Soon after he disappears.
Outside Linali hits her leg in frustration. Allen activates his Crown Clown and calls for his sword. Both the Hi-ban snake and the sword are heading towards him at top speed and as the attack begins to hit and burn him, he grabs his sword and slices through the attack, landing on Linali's cube, then launching quickly towards the engulfed Rabi. He screams he wont let Rabi die as he heads straight into the inferno, Linali is also screaming in desperation. Inside his heart, child Rabi hears Allen's calls and disappears. Rodo, still disguised as the fallen Allen, reminds herself that letting them go was, after all a promise if he won, and he did.
The Hi-ban is raging engulfing everything. Lero worries about Rodo as he pulls Tiki to safety. He watches as her charred body falls not far from him. Rodo's barrier vanishes and the cube breaks open. Linali rushes over to Allen and Rabi as the fire clears, only to reveal that Allen made it in time! He's holding Rabi, though they are both burned and gagging from the smoke. The two playfully argue though Rabi is glad he is alive. He figures Bookman will be angry that he intervened. Linali attacks Rabi with a punch..but the group can barely celebrate as they see Rodo's mangled form stand, laughing a short distance away. She calls out to Allen..then explodes into sand.

 There is a cute color insert for this chapter. The Rodo x Linali = <3 in this pic!!!!
Rabi's Hi-ban is headed straight for Allen. Allen guards and attempts to deflect the attack by slicing through it. It doesn't work, the flaming serpent only divides in two and both sides pound on the exorcist. Allen realizes that his sword is useless against innocence, but he barely has a moment of thought before Rabi attacks the distracted boy. Even with Rabi bearing down on him, Allen refuses to change his weapon, he knows it will injure Rabi. He calls out to him again in an attempt to bring him around, but Rabi unflinchingly unleashes his heaven seal on Allen. Linali calls out to Rabi too, urging him to stop. Rodo tells her that her calls are useless because his heart has died. Rabi advances on the fallen Allen, but with a burst of strength, the beaten exorcist drives his sword straight through him..but he goes beyond Rabi's body and instead lunges the sword towards Rodo. Allen has figured that if she is controlling him, then he better do away with her! The sword hits it's target and she is stunned, falling over herself, the sword penetrating straight through her. But a strange laugh comes from her..she sits up and to Allen's surprise, she easily pulls the sword from her..unharmed. She reminds him that all attacks on her were useless in the rewinding town and that she cannot be hurt because no one knows what her true form is. The form before them is not real! Weaponless now, she thrusts his sword into the ground and the boy once again finds himself engulfed in Rabi's flames. Inside the torrent, Allen realizes that the flames are somehow not burning him, but the candles are melting all around them from the heat. Rabi realizes that he is not moving of his own accord..inside Rodo's dream world, the real Rabi is sitting up. Fake Rabi looks on only to see the real Rabi had actually stabbed himself in an effort to regain control over his heart, he knew if he let his heart die he would lose consciousness forever, so to keep himself alert he stabbed himself. He rises to his feet. Outside, Rabi's body is creating a seal under himself as he plans for the ultimate sacrifice, taking himself out of the equation. Though the Hi-ban is burning him, he wields it also towards Rodo who jumps out of the way in time, however it's only a diversion. A dagger suddenly sticks out from within her. The real Rabi that has been imprisoned inside her is stabbing through. He has figured out that the Allen illusion, sprawled on the floor in the dream Rodo created, is actually Rodo herself disguised! Of all the people she could have posed as in that space..she would have picked Allen to impersonate because of her fondness for him. Back in the real world, she is obviously stunned but she reminds him that his dream of being bookman is over. He agrees and with a painful smile, says goodbye.

Summary
Tiki is powering up his hand, his eyes darkening with malice as Allen stands anticipating the attack. In his mind he remembers the words Komui told him about how innocence and the Noah's power are both equal and weak to each other. The last time his innocence was disintegrated he was told, "you can't lose your innocence, ever again." But as Tiki lunges for him, Allen decides he wont run away. They crash into each other, Allen holding Tiki's attack back, Tiki trying confidently to smash Allen's innocence. Allen is knocked back hard against the cube Linali and Chaoji are in. Tiki is a little impressed that the first round didn't do it, however Allen's arm is slowly cracking. Rodo pipes up a little protest, but Tiki is not having it. Meanwhile in Rodo's world, Rabi is hallucinating that he is on a boat with non other than Bookman, back to the time when he first found out he would be an exorcist, recording for the Black order. Rabi suddenly realizes that his heart is leading him into these different times and places. He decides he is not staying, but the "other" Rabi shows up and basically tells him that because Rabi is a bookman, he really has nowhere to return to, no "home", that whoever he lets into his heart is really just a bystander. Rabi agrees until he sees a coffin floating by with a dead Linali in it. He jumps out of the boat and plucks her from her coffin, only to realize, to his horror, that he is swimming in a sea of coffins, to which the fake Rabi reminds him...that she is just one of many so far. Back at the fight, Allen shifts to face Tiki again saying he has not yet been broken.

Summary
Rabi finds himself in a vast, nearly empty room with a chess-like floor. Before him appears a doll-like version of Rodo that taunts him playfully. Confident he is in another dimension he asks her to fight. She says she will not be the one fighting him. His opponent is non other than Rabi himself. Behind him a version of himself appears. Rabi attacks the clone but quickly learns that his innocence is not working at all. His double tells him that innocence will not work because in this space, the only thing he has is what's in his heart. Road quickly explains that besides the ability to move space, she possesses Noah's dreams, which means she can merge the real world and "her" world together, resulting in the space Rabi finds himself in. Outside the "room" we discover Linali and Chaoji shouting through their cube at Rabi who is on his knees unconscious or in a hypnotized state. Back inside Rabi's head, Rodo can't wait to draw first blood. Meanwhile, Allen and Tiki continue their fight. Tiki has the advantage of walking on air but Allen holds him in place with his Crowned Clown belt. Tiki unleashes a torrent of Tease which gear up to blast at Allen, but Allen protects himself with his cape, swiping at them all, as he wraps himself up under it's armor. Tiki is very excited now and decides that he will finish off Allen this time, with the very same hand he attempted with the last time.

| Episode 2! |
[14 Oct 2006|09:55am] |
Well the Second Eppy has been out for a bit..if you haven't found it yet I am putting up the bit-torrent links:
http://a.scarywater.net/sd/%5BSD%5D_D.Gray-man_-_02v2_%5B962563B2%5D.avi.torrent - For the SD subbed avi version.
http://a.scarywater.net/black-order/%5BOrder%5D_DGray-man_-_02_%5BC764DF25%5D.avi.torrent - For Black Order's avi verison.
http://a.scarywater.net/black-order/%5BOrder%5D_DGray-man_-_02_%5Bv2%5D%5BA23CAD6F%5D.mp4.torrent
- For Black Order's MP4 version.
Neat! Well Episode 2 had almost no changes. The only thing lacking, I realize, is Jean's story. Totally skipped over, I was sad. I thought his story would have been very important..what with showing Allen's past and all but I suppose they didn't want to go into it for the anime..trying to keep it a secret maybe? I wonder when they will go into it then..the opening and ending credits very clearly show a young Allen with Mana, so they gotta go into it at some point. I guess they wanted Allen on track and at HQ as quick as possible. So we have the whole speel with him and Kanda..I liked how you could see the rivalry right off the bat..Kanda seems a little bit less of a bastard but his voice is lovely and he still shows his stiff irritability, it was nice. Hebraska had a nice voice..just as I imagined it..ethereal. Linali's voice was a typical sweet shoujo voice..nothing special there. I was very pleased with Komui's voice he is the same nutter I pictured him to be hehehe. So far everything in this episode mirrored the manga well. I was very surprised that they made Cross's uniform black and yellow..it was kinda neat, I was so used to everything being black and white on their uniforms that it made it stand out as a general's outfit..interesting. His voice was just as I pictured it too. Well it looks like next episode will feature Lala's story..they are moving very fast..I bet they will jump right in to the rewinding town and miranda's story real quick..I can't WAIT to hear Rodo's voice!!!

Episode 1 debuted on the 3rd. There are now a few groups subbing it. Take your pick they each have their own format. There's SD Project with an avi bittorrent here:

and then Black Order has an mpg4 bittorrent here:
http://datorrents.com/download.asp?id=14922&name=[Order]_DGray-man_-_01_[5E9BFB04].mp4.torrent
I'll have an update with all the newest manga chapters soon.
Review on Episode 1..well..it was okay I guess. The thing about Dgure is that it is not action based like most shounen manga and the first episode tries it's best to explain things in the DGM world. I watched this with my boyfriend..mind you he read the first few chapter of the manga, he was way more critical than I was. I liked it..but he thought the pacing was too slow.
Only a few things irked me..one big one was the Earl's voice. It sounded old and typical of a villain..to me the Earl should have been voiced in an atypical fashion. I almost imagined him to be sort of like "HIM" from the powerpuff girls only less cheesy..you know, fluffy and happy one moment, then scary and creepy the next. Somehow his grandpa-sounding voice doesn't embody all the heart marks in the manga..so I was very disappointed with that.
As for Allen's voice it seemed like your typical young boy voice..done by a girl, sweet and inpersonable.
Besides that I only had a few irks with the colorings..Moa's hair being brown instead of blond, Rodo's shirt being pink instead of peach or white, her socks purple instead of classic black and white..I dunno she clashed horribly in my opinion..I doubt Hoshino-sensei meant for her to look like a girly clown.
The only scene change that killed me was the scene with Claire's (they call her Crea now) death. In the manga she was a nun and she gets killed by a Cross impaling her from above..but in the anime they changed it to a wedding scene as you will soon see for yourself. And she dies when a chandelier crushes her. In the anime she also notices the thing falling and pushes Mark out of the way, saving his life. Why does this bother me? Well in my opinion..the manga meant for the entire scene to turn the values of "faith" into tragic irony. Crosses, nuns, priests..they all embody faith in a western religious point of view. Marriage embodies love, eternity, and commitment..it hardly captures the virtue of faith. To have a cross impale a poor unsuspecting nun portrays the shameless and cruel destruction of faith! To have a chandelier fall on a bride that pushes her groom out of the way is not only typical and cheesy but it doesn't make the same point. I dunno, I thought that scene change was lame and unecessary..perhaps they were catering to western point of views as I am sure when the anime crosses over to the states..someone would have had a major COW with that scene should it have remained untouched..hmph.
Also a very minor disappointment was the scene with Crea's Akuma entering Mark's body. I was so excited to see that part animated..I thought for sure the anime would make it even creepier than the manga..you know with jerky movements and sounds FX. But..no..they simply watered it down to a shadow of the akuma putting on his skin..bah. It only goes to show that this anime is geared towards a younger audience..I had only hoped they would have treated it with the same respect they did FMA..but no, I guess a 6pm timeslot on TV tokyo means the kiddies are still watching and therefore can't have anything original and gruesome..oh well.
Oh well other than that everything else seemed pretty true to the manga..some dialog was even left unchanged. The opening theme is catchy..typical shonen but still not bad at all. The animation is nice and it was neat how hard they try to incorporate color into the anime when the manga seems to suite Black and White so naturally. The ending theme is a little annoying but it's not too terrible. Well give it a try..got opinions of your own? Give me a piece of your mind hehehe

Chapter 87
MQ by Tainted: (RS)
HQ by TimCanpi: (SS)
Kanda and his team have arrived. Mari's super ability ti hear tells them that the exorcists are still alive but barely! Theodore tells them to go help them. A modified Akuma has helped to guide them to the spot..sadly he self destructs as he reaches his own limit. Back at the giant akuma, the exorcists are pretty beat up. Linali tends to a fallen Miranda, but not for long as Tiki takes her hostage. A finder tries bravely to fend Tiki off but the noah sends his Tease to eat him. Kanda makes it just in time to save the finder with an incredible attack and begins to advance on Tiki with the help of Rabi. Meanwhile Mari is holding the giant akuma from attacking by using his threads. Apparently they poison the Akuma. Kanda takes his chance to split part of the akuma in half with his mugen. The Earl takes the chance to lift himself away to safety while building an attack of his own!
Chapter 88
LQ by Phoenix Scans:
(RS)|(Torrent)
The Earls lets out a huge blast that levels most of the scenery. The exorcists survive due to Miranda stopping time but she says there are casualties. Meanwhile as Rabi and Kanda regain consciousness they look for Linali only to find a large crystal in her place. She calls out to the them and the Earl hears it. Theodore sees the Earl's intentions and warns Mari..who tells Kanda and Rabi to protect Linali. Tiki attemtps to reach Linali while Kanda intercepts. Skin Boric bears down on Rabi in the meantime. However as the exorcists tangle with the Noah the Earl lands beside her crystal and launches his own attack. Inside the crystal Linali is being savagely bitten by demon-like beings gripping her everywhere. The Earl's face looms menacingly inches away from hers only to be stopped by..ALLEN!? That's right Allen and the Earl meet again!

Finally it looks like we head into Japan and what a treat we get in this chapter! We meet the Noahs again. This time we find out the name of the big burly sweet toothed Noah, it's Skin Boric. We also meet two new crazy Noah twins named David and Jasdero (who don't look at all alike) and who seem to annoy Tiki very much. It looks like the Earl and Rodo are back in Japan and have accomplished making some "box" and the Earl is calling all the Akuma and Noahs to assemble. Tiki finds out Allen is still alive and is very perturbed by it. David and Jasdero are assigned to killing Cross and have failed 3 times, meanwhile Skin is assigned to kill a general wearing glasses. All this info is thanks to chomesuke who has taken on a human disguise and recieves the transmission from the Earl calling all the Akuma to him. We also make the grizzly discovery that Akuma eat each other to gain strength when there are no humans to attack..wow..it's getting interesting.

OH sweet Lordy Camelot!!! Two peices of good news! Not only is Timcanpi back with a website and everything here:
http://timcanpi.org/
BUT Hoshino-sensei is back with a new chapter! 76 is out and what happens in this chapter is Miranda basically can't hold out anymore. The AKUMA that's helping them can't make it to Edo fast enough. Anita and the rest of the crew know they are doomed so they throw a big party as they let the exorcists escape on a boat. Miranda releases her hold of time and the ship is destroyed. It was a very sad chapter..Anita never got to see Cross again and everyone knew they were gonna die, Miranda was just shattered with exhaust and fatigue..man, I liked Anita and Mahoja..too bad. :( Looks like next week they are landing in Japan finally! I am hoping we get to visit with the Noahs once again ^_^
