Mana and The Earl

[fourteenth]

Hi KuzAnn! Welcome to the forum, enjoy your stay! ;3

The similarity might just be coincidence and the fact that we don't get a good look at Mana's face though. Hmm... But if how he looks isn't significant to the plot then why keep hiding Mana's face? Hmmm...

Yeah I'm just rambling here. Take what you will.

i'm curious about that too long ago, in the later chapters hoshino suddenly reveals the true appearance of the earl and mana's side view appearance..surely its not a coincidence and maybe hoshino plans to make more twists for us..

there so many secrets in this series that makes me freaking-curious! XD

Alright! I have a theory that I'd like to share. ^^
Many people are concerned about, if the Earl is in fact Mana, how it would be possible since they were in the same place at the same time when Mana was called back as an akuma. It's still possible! When Allen called Mana back, he called back his soul into the akuma, which was then going to kill Allen to wear as a skin. What if the Earl is only wearing Mana's skin, like an akuma? Because why couldn't the Earl do the same thing as akuma, which he creates?
In Hoshino's one shot, Continue, the Earl takes over the main characters best friend. So who's to say that the Earl in D. Gray-Man cant do the same? So it's still possible that the Earl is Mana, or vica versa, just not the Mana that we know (technically). So the Earl is just using Manas body. I'm not sure how he could've gotten it if it was buried, but maybe he took it after Allen called Mana back. I'm sure if it is in fact what happened, Hoshino will have some kind of explanation. xD
A lot of people have stated why. Maybe because he thought it would make Neah want to join him again? Or maybe it was because it would make it harder for Neah/Allen to kill him? I thought it was interesting that neither the 14th nor Allen has seen the Earl in his human form yet. Cross did say that when Allen became the 14th, he would have to kill someone that he loved. Allen loves Mana more than anyone else! And the 14th wants to kill the Earl to become him. So it makes sense.
And that's just my two cents on it. :b
