D.Gray-man: Innocence, Activate!!

It may be a little old, but It`s great for real, and I`ll feel guilty If I don`t talk about it, even a little..Some people say: “What`s that Mo-kun??” I`ll answer: Of course It`s D.gray-man!!

And now, for the serious talk:

D.gray-man, If u looked from a general aspect, is just another action and super powers Anime as all other series out there..That`s right, to be honest, but D.gray-man is different in a way or another..not sure, but may be cuz of the strange relation of the time of story and action stuff, as the plot occurs in an imaginary 19th century..And it`s rare to find a good action and battles happens in such era..!

 

Anyway, D.gray-man revolves around the most famous theme of eternal battle of Good and Evil..This time Evil is Millennium Earl, who`s an evil wizard who wants to “cleanse” the world by destroying it and turning all its inhabitants to weapons called “Akuma” who are formed of Sorrow of people, their souls, and a simple metal skeleton..Good is symbolized in the Exorcists, who are humans who has the super power of “Innocence”, A special item which has special ability can be invoked by its compatible human user, the Exorcist, and it`s granted by God on their side..

The battle between man and Millennium Earl was very ancient, since the Great Flood of Noah..After it, man created the Black Order, which gathers people who are compatible with Innocence, Exorcists, in order to fight the Earl and his akumas, and stop his plans to destroy the world..

 

Allen Walker, the 15-years-old young man, is one of those Exorcists and the main good chara of the series..He once turned his own foster father to an akuma by a trick of the Earl, and he destroyed the akuma father by his own Innocence, which is within his left arm..one of the highest Exorcists, Cross Marian, found him and decided to make him his pupil to make him an Exorcist..Since then, Allen lives to be an Exorcist, to defeat the Earl and stop his plans, along with the Black Order and his companions, Lenalee, Kanda, Lavi and others..

 

The series overall revolves around Allen and others` missions to fight Akumas and find more compatible Innocenece users, and their great battle against their main enemy, the Millennium Earl and Noah`s clan who are the offspring of Noah, and have his genes within them, and has superpowers which allow them to fight Exorcist with their friend, the Earl..!

 

And as we talk about the series, why don`t we know more about the main charas??

 

 Allen Walker: The main protagonist..A 15-years-old boy who has Innocence in his left arm, allowing him to transform his arm to a giant metal arm with sharp fingers to destroy the Akurmas and to defend himself and others..Has a left cursed eye which can see Akumas hidden in human`s skin, and reacts to them automatically..He`s very kind and gentle, and acts most of the time like a britain gentleman..his greatest goal is to “save” the souls of Akuma, and to protect his allies..

 

Yu Kanda:  A 18-years-old japanese Exorcist of the Black Order, who`s an ally of Allen, though they hate each other very much..He has an Innocence in the form of a japanese sword, Mugen (Six Illusions) , which when activated bursts the full power of the blade, and allows him to use many attacks, all of them are called (Ilusions) but very destructive though their names..! He`s aggressive, cold and rude, and respects almost no one, and doesnt care about anyone, though he saves his allies usually when they`re attacked by surprise..In short, the D.gray correspondent to Sasuke of Naruto..!

 Lenalee Lee: A female Chinese Exorcist of the Black Order, who`s the little sister of the president of scientific department of the Order, Komui Lee. Her Innocence is a pair of black boots called (Dark Boots) which when activated gives her legs extreme strength to fight, jump and even fly, and can even control wind to some extent. She has no family but her big brother Komui, so she considers all people in Black Order her big family, and cares about them very much just like a family.

 

Lavi: A 18-years-old mixed race Exorcist who`s the 49th successor of Bookman clan, who are historian work with Black Order to record all events occurs with them, without actually interfering with their business. Lavi`s Innocence is an iron hammer he calls “Ozuchi Kouzuchi” (Large Hammer Small Hammer) which Lavi can change its size and length by will, to unknown extents. He can enlarge it by the order “Grow” and prolong it by the order “Extend”. He can also use it to use some special seals offered by Innocence such as (Fire Seal, Heaven Seal, Wood Seal) by choosing the desired seal and hitting it with the hammer to the ground. Lavi is cheerful and gentle, and likes to joke around very much, especiall with Allen and Kanda. He considers Allen his little brother. Lavi also has a photographic memory which can never forget anything it recorded. He has a black eyebatch on his right eye, for unknown reason for me till now..One of my VERY fav chara!!

 

 Cross Marian: One of the highest and strongest Exorcists, Generals,  who was the one trained Allen and took him as his disciple. Though his job as an Exorcist, he is almost immoral, womanizer, addicted to alcoholics. He considers people mere tools and uses them for his own benefit. However, he`s really strong and skilled Exorcist, who is feared by the Earl himself, for his special ability to modify Akumas to make them his followers, and for using two Innocences..!

 

The Millennium Earl: The main antagonist of the series. He`s an evil wizard who hates God, and plans to cleanse the world by destroying it (!) and making its inhabitants into Akumas. He has the ability of creating akumas by deceiving people who are sad about dying of their dears, saying he can revive them, and then entraps their souls in metal skeletons, transforming them into Akumas. He looks very carciture-like, being very fat with a constant HUGE smile on his face, with a large hat which is changed usually. He generally looks like a victorian man, but in a caricature form. He has a living umbrella called Relo, by which he can do most of his jobs and fights, and can transform into a large sword. Despite his funny look, he`s really evil enough to be the bad guy of the series!!

 

In short, D.gray-man is a worth-watching Anime for people who likes action and horror shows. Characters are well-made, but very ordinary and no new about the whole thing of making characters. u can find characters like that in most shounen anime. Drawings are very good and good care is taken of them, and graphics are, too. the main plot is ordinary too, but its time is nice, and a good relation was made between the action and the time of story. The drama is great and various, which was one of the reasons made me love this series, along with drawings and graphics. Music is nice and fitting for the climate of the series, and characters` music fits them very well..

 

That`s it! Hope u like the series pals!

Thanks!
