Chapter 191 Discussion

[enemytosleep]

Okay everyone, I've been dying to discuss this and see what others think. Any fun theories? Just want to squee over finally getting some backstory? I want to hear it!

Obviously, comments will contain spoilers.

My guess is they grew him from a dead exorcist's DNA? Thinking they could increase the chances of him synching with the Innocence, and also allowing them to give him all sorts of cool superhuman abilities like recovery? I'm very curious to find out more.

I don't think Cross is dead either. I'm waiting for him to show up again and kick ass, probably after Allen and Kanda defect form the Order (this is my guess for the 3rd side to the war thing - that the Order's dark secrets will make Allen and some of the others go rouge and try to take hem down/reform).

It certainly isn't boring, and the unanswered questions make for great fanfic fodder. ^_^

Hee, I think maybe it'll be more like the Order is the lesser of two evils, and they'll both be working against the Earl, but Allen and co. will not be showing support for the Order by going on their own. Totally a guess, though I wonder why else she would bother showing Allen Kanda's history like this (and he knows about Suman too).

I'm with you on Cross being missing, but not dead. Allen, on many occasions as the gang are headed towards Edo, comments that it would take something pretty huge to kill Cross, and even then he's not sure. Also, am I the only one who thinks that he shot HIMSELF??? I have a theory about his mask....

I also have a theory, given this latest issue, that Cross bound Maria up in her grave to prevent her from being used as material for 2nd Apostles like Kanda. Back when she first showed up, they said that she used to be an Exorcist, but she died, and through Magic he keeps her zombified and able to access her Innocence.

My guess is that he's something else entirely--neither Human nor Noah, and that taking on the mask was part of what Cross promised to the 14th before he died. MAN, I miss him!

I'd wondered about him shooting himself and maybe trying to break the bond with his Innocence for some important but yet unknown reason? I wonder about the mask too (can I hear your theory pwease?).

You have to wonder about Maria. What made her so special that he would go through the trouble of using magic like that, especially when it's implied that it's totally taboo to do so?

Cross fangirls, yes? He is so awesome. XD
