    Default Allen Walker's True Age

    Is Allen really 15 years old?? He doesnt look like one. I saw on dgrayman.wikia.com that he's currently 16. So does that mean a year already had passed since he joined the Black Organozation? but when i looked in the other profiles, the others still had the same age. And when i looked in the wikipedia it said he was 15. SO what does that mean? What is his true age?? Heeelp! I gotta know!! XD

    Well, Allen's exact age is a bit of a mystery. Since he was abandoned by his biological parents when he was an infant his birth date isn't known. But Hoshino has stated that Allen is about 15 years of age, or just a little off 16. So, basically he is probably the same age as Lenalee, but just a little younger (possibly a few months?... I really don't know, it's just an assumption.)
    I'm not completely sure that a whole year has passed since Allen joined the organisation, but I guess that's up for debate. (Along with Allen's age =/.)
    But a lot of people will have different opinions on what age he is at the current point of the manga. So, people may have edited the wiki pages.
    But, yeah, basically at the start he was 15, or very close to 16 - but we don't know his birthday D: so who knows?

    I was just about to look through the manga and see how many times it goes SNOWING... SUNNY.. SNOWING!!! and count it as years (winter->summer)... then i remembered that they travel all over the place...

    Another thing... Allen's features have matured... be it, the style of DGM has changed, or Allen has been changed by the events.. or he's just aging... or what... The others havent really changed though... the styles changed, by none of them have done to such a degree as Allen...

    At the start, he was around 15... Although, I always thought of him as early 16... (bit too mature for 15... too immature for 16)... I'd say that he's been in the Order over a year.... While Allen hasnt grown in height, maturity among the characters (and their skill with innocence) has increased too much to be less than a year, surely?
    But then that'd make Allen 17... or maybe 18... but thats a deffinate no! Isn't it?...

    arrrgh!! Allen doesnt look any older than 15, just more mature... which instantly puts him in the 20s (ALL teens around my place are less mature than Allen Walker... most of them are only just rivalling Lavi)....

    But then, believe it or not, I'm quite mature (*lol*... ahem, I was serious)... more mature than Allen in day-to-day... less mature in the face of danger.... and I'm 15... so really, he could be any age. (There's an 8-yr-old near me, whose FAR more mature than my parents, or my teachers. Its scary! 0.o . There's also a 55 yr old whose not mad, but likes to trick people [...think Timothy to get an idea of his actions])

    To be honest, Allen could be anything between 14 and 17... I cant see him being any more, or any less (although he often acts like it!)

    allen says he is "about 15" in the manga but hoshino puts him at a solid 15 years of age (not about 15 or around 15 or almost 16, just straight up 15) when she writes her characters' profile pages. so, at the start of the manga, he is 15, we can be sure of this since his is the first profile she writes. hoshino's word is the final word, i assume.

    at one point i thought that each chapter was supposed to signify one day since they're titled "Night [insert number]" but between one "Night" and another "Night" (meaning one chapter and the very next chapter) i read allen saying that a few months had passed. we can't be sure that this is supposed to be a consistent time stamp or if time passed varies between "Nights"/Chapters.

    but, it seems to be widely accepted that at least a year has passed since allen joined the Order. so that would place him at 16 and lenalee at 17 and Lavi at 19, etc....you get my drift. the characters' look has changed a bit due to hoshino's ever-evolving art style but allen has changed the most...prolly because he's had to undergo the most change as well with all that's happened to him. so, for me, personally, i'm satisfied with considering him to be age 16 at this point in the manga.

    I suppose i'll have to agree with you, as you are the most certain person here about what age you think he is.

    eeeh? Lenalee is 17? Thats weird! ... though Lavi at 19... Thats the most acceptable figure you've typed... whhhy!?! XD

    LOL okay now i must assume that you argue just for the sake of arguing. time moves forward for everyone, right? so if the presumption is that allen is 16 now, then EVERYONE also ages one year lol. there is no debating that fact. so yes, if allen is 16 now, then lenalee is 17, lavi is 19 and kanda is also 19 (lavi and kanda are both age 18 when allen joined the order).

    Yay! I do think so XD
    allen 16, lenalee 17, kanda 19, lavi 19.

    Well, for kanda i'm not sure though.
    Remember the flash back in alma karma chapter?
    Some how i saw 'old kanda' as 'ossan'. About 20 or so.
    And i dont know why i had a thought that kanda is a 'reborn'
    In the flash back there was a scene of someone dying because of akuma.


    Well, i prefer allen in 16 or 17
    He is getting hot since his noah shown up >////<

    Huff! I wasn't arguing! It's just weird that Lenalee is 17! She doesnt really look or act like it... :P

    meeeh, and Kanda just confusing! Lets just talk about how old his body is, not how old his mind is?

    And yes Shin5, I cannot agree with anything more than I agree with you now (He is getting hot since his noah shown up)

    I knew Rhode would love Allenoah XD you're Rhode after all XD
    thanks Rhode but he is mine XD

    hmm so what do you think about Lena's age? older than 17 or even younger? same age with allen then?
    But allen once said to Lenalee (inside noah ark before road kissed allen ><) "you're my sister (nee-san), right?"
    so i prefer Lena on 17

    and for Kanda, just wait for his encounter and his explanation ><
    everything is still in the mist.
    judging from his body, it's 19 though XD

    They're all growing up so fast x'3.
    Hehehe. I just re-read the first chapter, and it said that Allen was around fifteen.
    So, I guess we can safely assume that he is fifteen.
    (I swear I read somewhere that Allen was a little off being Lenalee Lee's age. Eh.)
    Sometimes I forget that Lavi is around 19 now. He still comes off as a bit of a five year old =/ but I guess that's Lavi.
    Oh, and Kanda, chronologically, is about 9-10 years old. At least that's what I've heard.
