Chapter 185

-page 1

[Side opening line top]: Renny reveals...

[Side opening line bottom]: A shocking truth!!

-page 2

Renny: Don't make such a scary face at me , supervisor.

[Text on Renny]: Lenny and the central's speculations are...!?

Chapter 185: Born from love and hate

-page 3

Johnny: ...

[Johnny thinks]: Who are they...?

[Place tag]: Training area

Kanda: One more round, old man.



-page 4

Bookman: Hohohoho. Come and get me, Kanda. I will not lose to a young one such as you!
[Text pointing to string]: String that ties Kanda's hair
Kanda: You're going down.
Krory: You're so strong, Bookman! You are not taking a step away from the demon Kanda!
Bookman: We shall decide who has the true ponytail* (Not 100% about the "true" part because the kanji is a bit blurry, but it should be right)
Chaozii: Kanda-senpai is very strong...
[Large text down the bottom]: Demons Play Remains
Note* In the middle of training

Kanda: May be I'll get something to eat after finishing this guy off
Finders: Do him up, Bookman!
Down you go Kanda!
[Yell from finders]: Go for his face!!
[Text below panel]: Finders who lost
Marie: Eh?

-page 5

Marie: Other methods to destroy akuma other than using Innocence?
Allen: Yeah.

Marie: Should be "self-destruction" and "cannibalism"
Allen: Cannibalism!?
Marie: That is, akuma consuming akuma.
There was this phenomenon in the Edo region.

Allen: "Cannibalism" huh~
But that cardinal-clothed person was human, is that ok...
Marie: He didn't seem like an innocence host, so you're worried?
Allen: Hm- The akuma...

Allen: It was from a distance, but back then, the akuma was definitely destroyed and disappeared.

-page 6

[Text]: If it is not innocence, the soul inside the akuma cannot be cleansed.

Allen: I wonder if the soul is ok.
Due to the barrier, my left eye couldn't be used and I couldn't see it...

Marie: Are you worrying about the akuma?

Allen: I'm sorry! Marie you lost your fingers to them and I...
Marie: No, Allen. Worry a bit more about yourself.
[Text on Marie]: That is ok

Allen: Huh? Why?
Marie: Well, most of the people here hate akuma.

Marie: To our Order and Central, the soul that became the material of akuma is something not to be concerned about.
Your attitude to battle will not be empathized.
It will only be hard on you.

-page 7

Allen: Thank you, Marie.
[Allen's thought]: If I quit (carrying this attitude), I'll have to forget about Mana.

[Allen's thought]: I can't bring myself to do that.
Marie: ....

Marie: I now understand why Kanda and you clashes...
You're very similar.
Allen: What!?

Allen: You have to be joking! Please don't say I'm the same as that headlong idiot!
Marie: No, you too are a headlong idiot.

Marie: ...That is why you two are so deeply caught by the darkness
From where I don't know how to save.

-page 8

Marie: It's irritating
It was him who saved me in the first place...

Allen: Eh?
[Allen's thought]: What did he just-...

Marie: An opening
Allen: Argh

Allen: Ouch

Allen: That's dirty, Marie!
People behind Allen: !?

-page 9

Link: !
Walker

Marie: !?

Sumo-looking guy: Hm?
[Sumo-looking guy's thought]: White hair and the pentacle, he is...

Allen: Wah, I'm sorry

[Sumo-looking guy's thought]: Innocence

-page 10

Crowd: !?
Crowd: What was that?

[Kanda's thought]: The cardinal-clothed from back then...!?

Allen: Wha...

Allen: Why...
suddenly... (Note: I think Allen is wondering why his arm suddenly activated rather than why Goushi suddenly attacked him)

Allen: Argh...

-page 11

Marie: Allen!?

Marie: Did your head get hit? Look up.
[Allen's thought]: When did I activate...?

[Sound effect]: Hiss (not sure about this, but it sounds like a hissing sound...hmmmm)

Allen: !?

Girl: What are you doing, Goushi
Goushi: Hmpt, it's a side-effect. It reacted to the innocence...

-page 12

[Allen's thought]: My left eye is reacting.
Is this man an akuma?

[Allen's thought]: But it's strange. I can't see the soul inside him. The only thing I can see is a pale-dark aura-looking thing...!?

[Allen's thought]: What is he!?

Link: What is the meaning of this, Goushi?

Link: Allen Walker is my current mission target.
For what reason do you "Karasu" have to lay your hand on him!?

Allen: "Karasu"!?

-page 13

Goushi: Inspector Howard Link?
Girl: Stop your activation, Goushi.
Man: Hurry with it, you don't want to be scold by Madarao do you?

[Allen's thought]: My left eye has settled down...!?

Krory: What was the fuss about?
Chaozii: Wow
Lavi: What was that~ Allen?
Bookman: You're bleeding.
Allen: It's about time you come.

Lavi: Who are those guys?
Man: I beg your pardon, Allen Walker.

-page 14

Man: We are beings generated from the human body, half of us is akuma*. We do not possess innocence.

(Note: What he is saying is more like "we're half akuma-ised beings" Akuma-ised is not really English... Manga English is getting weirder and weirder...)

Man: Pardon us, please.

-page 15

Man: "Tokusa"
Man: "Kiredori"
Man: "Goushi"

Renny: And also, "Tewaku" and "Madarao"

Renny: These five will be assigned missions as "third exorcists".
This is the order of the pope.

-page 16

Bak: Lvellie did this didn't he?
My subordinates in the North America branch contacted me!

[Komui's thought]: The old headquarters was attacked by a Noah who was aiming for the akuma egg...

[Flashback]: You said destroy the egg? Do you know how much it is worth...
We have to destroy it

[Flashback]: Inspector Link
I would like to assign you with a task

[Komui's thought]: At that time, you gained the fragments of the egg,
and the "worth" that you mentioned was this!? Lvellie

-page 17

Bak: Why, Renny? We have decided to seal it as taboo, the will of the Order's loss.
Why, still you...

Bak: Did you forget the "tragedy" that occurred nine years ago!?

Renny: That headquarters assault
was mistaken, I know.

Link: Half
Akuma-ised you said...
[Link's thought]: That egg was...

[Tokusa's thought?]: In order for man to defeat akuma

[Kanda's thought?]: We must pay the price.

[Ending line]: Restoration of a forbidden technique. What is its ties with Kanda...!?


Timcanpy sleeping on Link's head is too cute.

Allen doesn't realise he actually activated...is it something to do with the 14th?

Link as Allen's guardian angel is pure love ^_^

Perhaps the long-waited (for some) Kanda arc is finally here? Speaking of Kanda, he seems...more beautiful than ever this chapter ^^;;

Why are the Karasu "third exorcist" and not "second exorcist"? (Did I miss something somewhere?)
