Actually, I'm very excited at how this arc is developing.
It seems that the Earl and his minions are placing or casting restrictions so as.... Spoiler:
The most interesting of all is that Hoshino-sensei explores a little bit the nature of the Akuma regarding their levels. Spoiler:

I disagree though. The most dangerous thing about the Akuma is that they can hide themselves as human in plain sight, until Allen came along the Black Order had no way to counter this problem.
To be able to know where the enemies are is a great advantage overall tactically. Look at the situation now- The Exorcists wouldn't have been caught offguard had Allen's eye been working, he would have noticed the Akumas getting into position, and would have told Link to get the children away from there, but now Timonthy and Link have walked into their trap.

As it is, their roles are never strictly defined. In times of relative peace, they are supposed to investigate and recover Innocence (Ghost of Matel) + recruit new Exorcists (Miranda and Krory). During times of war, they are in effect useless, although they're supposed to be the foot soldiers. In fact, I'm almost inclined to put the average Exorcist under the "Red Shirt Army" label.

/facepalm I mean, even if they could survive the initial attack, they might find themselves in a situation where they cannot complete their mission, or rather it's been made even more difficult. Just like what happened in this chapter.

4th wall-wise, this chapter's probable use would be to showcase Link's fighting skills, as controlled by him. Also, maybe, just maybe, we get Ghost of Martel, take 2, where Kanda and Allen work together.

Spoiler for 176:
Overall, really an interesting and awesome chapter. Show more stuff on what the skulls can do other than guarding the egg. This time, the earl been really serious and seen focuses on defeating Allen is his current primary plan. Next chapter is gonna be more interesting IMO. It seems that this week chapter not that long, too bad for that. Looking forward for next week chapter. Note: I think almost everyone notice that this arc had a lot of kicking scene/action. The level 4 became muscular? That’s just strange, never though off that to happen. (Wel,that doesn’t mean it won’t happen.) |

Hmm.Is it just me or is Hoshino sensei getting a bit skimpy on the artwork lately?There are alot of scenes with Allen and Co's faces in plain black with only dots for the eyes.Kinda feels as though she doesn't have time or didn't bother putting in actual facial expressions, and instead just filling in space with ink:S
Hoping that's not the case. |

/facepalm It's meant to emphsize on the ferocity of Allen's and Kanda's attack. Seriously people, I don't want to be rude, but that's actually common sense Well, the Skulls didn't seal Allen's eye like putting a lock on it or something... It's more like trapping them is a separate dimension/space. That would explain why Allen couldn't create a door out. And since the curse eye was hinted to function much like an Akuma, I would imagine the Earl would know a thing or two about stopping it... ...But this part is just my guess. How ironic... It was just moments ago that I finished watching "Exorcist: The Beginning". Quote:
I'm suprised by the revelation that Allen's Musician powers also allows him to create doorways into the Ark. I apologise if it was revealed earlier and I missed that detail. But... Doesn't this reminds you alot like Road's power ?

As for the seal on Allen's powers, it is possible that the Skulls came up with the solution (their knowledge being their own), but since they draw their powers from the Earl, the Earl was in a way responsible as well.

And with the blank space=ferocity idea, it's a highly plausible idea, but I don't think u can be that certain in that it is DEFINITELY common sense. Everyone has different ways of interpretation, especially towards something as abstract as art.The blank faces could mean alot of things, not just ferocity,so ur apprehension there is slightly uncalled for no? |
