About the Level 4 akuma: What happened with the Level 4 seems to be what happened to the preceding levels of akuma--after its initial development it showed up again more frequently. The best theory I can come up with is that after an akuma/akuma evolves naturally and progresses to the next stage, it acts as a catalyst for the Earl to create them more frequently. He does create their -forms- (I believe this was mentioned way back in the Vampire of the Castle arc when Eliade stated that the Earl "made" her, and even before that, the Mana flashbacks). The best analogy I can come up with is one between an original handcraftsman (the akuma naturally evolving) and a factory(The Millennium Earl). If that makes any kind of sense.
As for Kanda's lotus flowers (and the tattoo on his chest as well), I always considered that more symbolic than anything else--I myself thought it was a connotation for a more Eastern religion. I never thought of the flowers themselves as a cue for anything, though I kind of like that theory; I thought of them as yet another indication of Kanda's apparently dwindling lifespan.
Cross is not dead! I...have no proof, other than it is a total trope for the wise mentor to "die" and then come back again and Cross is way too awesome to die ♥ . I do think he anticipated his death, therefore, I think he avoided it. Because. He's that awesome. xD
DO YOU MEAN 65? :O I can't even remember the last time I saw that thing...
While we're discussing how DGM is going to conclude: (T.T)
Did we ever find out what's under Lavi's eyepatch? I could have sworn Hoshino-sensei said that she was going to address that...
