D.Gray Man 13

D.Gray-man #13

by Katsura Hoshino, Nathalia Ferreyra (Translator)

D.Gray-man transcurre en un mundo similar a la Inglaterra del siglo XIX. Ante la amenaza de los Akuma, armas demoníacas creadas por el Conde del Milenio para sumir al mundo en los "Tres Días de Oscuridad" (con el fin de acabar con el mundo tal y como se lo conoce), surgen los Exorcistas, gente capaz de manipular una misteriosa sustancia divina llamada Inocencia. La historia sigue la lucha de los Exorcistas por detener al Conde y su séquito, la familia Noé, seres humanos con habilidades sobrenaturales herederos de los genes del profeta, que dicen ser los verdaderos mensajeros de Dios. Allen Walker, protagonista de la historia, podría ser la clave para acabar con esta guerra entre el bien y el mal.

I forgot how cool and creepy Tyki Mikk was in this volume. Loved thos volume!

[Dxdnelion · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volumes just give me fear and anxiety. Oh god, they fight both Tyki and Road (might be the strongest Noah clan, idk). Allen and Lavi were really struggle here.

But heyyy, General Cross, Allen's master finallyyy here. He so funny and Allen being traumatized here omg.

Still an intense volumes, but we can see it would end soon

[Azbaqiyah · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my absolute favorite arcs in D.Gray-man—the one that really shines a spotlight on my fave Bookman Junior, Lavi! 🔥📖

The battle sequences? INTENSE. 💥 One fight after another, no time to breathe—and both Lavi and Allen were literally on the edge of collapse when Cross Marian made his dramatic entrance. Talk about perfect timing 😭🙌

Lavi’s development in this arc hits hard. You can feel his inner conflict as a Bookman versus his bond with the team. He’s smart, loyal, emotional—just such a well-written character. And the action? Chef’s kiss 👊💫

If you're into deep lore, emotional stakes, unforgettable characters, and high-octane battles—this arc is a MUST-read. I’ll never get tired of rereading it. 🖤

YES. ACK!!! I am so intrigued my this man, General Cross. I want to know more!!!

[Thelma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love to see character backstories. Love how Lavi wins half of his fights by using his brain rather than his hammer. My boy is so smart *hearteyes*. And finally that ending is just *chef kiss*

[Michelle Kobus · Rating 5 out of 5]

General Cross is an A-hole, but he can be a funny A-hole, too. It will be fun to see him first person now, rather than just through Allen's memories.

[K.S. Trenten · Rating 4 out of 5]

Destruction, despair, and things exploding become a bit repetitive. Cross made an impressive entrance, utterly not impressing me. The conclusion to Lavi and Road’s game was intriguing, possibly beginning something a bit more complicated than whatever is going on with Allen. Speaking of complicated, there’s still something going on between Allen and Tyki. I’m alternately annoyed and impressed by Chaoji. Lenalee’s helplessness is no fun. For all the spectacular entrances and attacks, what really kept me invested were the moments between Tyki and Allen, plus the very sweet scenes between Lavi and Allen. I wasn’t sure what to make of the one-sided perviness of the omake. The artwork remains beautiful, bringing intensity to the moments I enjoyed. Even though this volume disappointed me in some ways, I’m hopeful of more to come in the next which won’t.

Rating: 4.1

This volume, Chaoji fights with Allen, and then actually is resonating with an innocenese. I honestly always forget about Chaoji. We also get to see Chaoji feeling survivor's guilt about Anita and her crew.(Which is honestly so real.)

Allen does still try to hold to saving everyone(baby you cant save everyone).. I did like Lavi's mental journey. Road's power has always been so interesting to me.

I'll be interested to see where this arc goes, because I've read it before but I don't quite remember the ending of this arc.

[Zoë · Rating 4 out of 5]

Our characters are still trying to get out of the Ark, and are facing off against Road and her dream world. We learn a little more about Lavi, and Chaoji suddenly becomes way more than a minor character. I also really liked finally seeing General Cross "in person" - his entrance was just about as dramatic as it should be. Also to note - it's really amazing how much Hoshino's art has been refined since volume 1.

[Kirsten Simkiss · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just as this start to really look bleak, General Cross appears to save the day - at least for the clean people which Allen and Lavi don't qualify as. And, of course, the Millenium Earl shows up just to be a jerk. We'll see how this all goes in the next one. It seems a pity that Chaoji might be dead right as he starts to be revealed as being capable of being an exorcist.

3.5/5 The team is still battling the Noah in the Ark. This entire volume is pretty much all one huge battle scene. We are finally introduced to General Cross. It was a fun volume but I’m docking it because some of the fights were confusing. Neat cover featuring Lavi whom I didn’t initially recognize.

Read 10/31/20

[Scott Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

This volume--as impossible as it seemed to me when I started it--begins and concludes still within the Ark. It is nearly entirely Hoshino's impeccable blow-by-bow battle work, as several Noah rise from apparent death to continue the battle. Oh! and General Cross finally shows up.

Bastante bueno, me encantó la lucha de Road y Lavi.

[Al Capwned · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very uneven volume, because of the choice of character focus but the chapters that are worth it, they're pretty great.

[Sedna Dragon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thos was a good and emotional fight.

[lobelyys · Rating 4 out of 5]

General Cross finally enters the battle. It only took everyone almost dying for him to enter the battlefield, lol

Allen, Lenalee, and Lavi are face to face with two of the Noah clan, Road and Tyki Mikk, who stand between them and safely getting themselves and their friends out of the collapsing ark.

[pnutbutterprincess · Rating 3 out of 5]

Allen, Lenalee, and Lavi are face to face with two of the Noah clan, Road and Tyki Mikk, who stand between them and safely getting themselves and their friends out of the collapsing ark.

As Allen and Tyki engage in a battle to save Lavi, Lenalee, and Chaoji, Lavi is fighting a battle of his own, but one inside his own head, in a dangerous alternate world created by Road which is intended to turn him against Allen. In order to rescue Lenalee and Chaoji, Allen is now faced with the only option of fighting his friend. He struggles to pull Lavi from Road's possession, avoiding Lavi's attacks without hurting him, and as time goes on, the world is collapsing around them, time remaining before the ark, and their reality, crumbles and destroys them.

Allen must destroy both Tyki and Road, save Lenalee and Chaoji while pulling Lavi back to reality. He still hasn't forgotten Krory and Kanda, and hopes to still be able to return and bring them back before time runs out. Things get complicated when Allen can't seem to destroy the Noah and a familiar face returns unexpectedly.
