[Info] Canon Compliation
For my own benefit I'm linking all the pages that Link shows up on and making notes/observations 'n stuff. I'll probably also keep track of what pages they are in the tankouban DLs and transcribing the dialogue from that if I think it's important (the translations generally feel slightly more accurate). If I feel really anal I'll go find the Japanese and try to get the meaning out of that to the best of my meager abilities...
ETA: A LOT OF THESE NOTES ARE OLD! This is a reposting with updated links, since my old one linked to OneManga. There may be updated notes here and there but for the most part it's the same. I'll try to catch up to the latest chapter sometime soon.
The numbering system is just chapter.page - volume.page.
The 135th Night: Rest With The Occasional Cloud
135.16 - 14.128 | Link's first appearance. NOTE HOW MUCH HOTTER HE GETS. Also I go with the 'Special Inspector Malcolm C. Rouvelier' version. Later on he is called 'Secretary' by Link.
Other Notes:
- I think Kanda's Gay Sweater is actually Order-issue. Allen wears a black version of it. Miranda and Rinali both wear black tanks. Everyone wears variations of the same stuff combined with their own stuff, I assume.
The 136th Night: The Sheep and the Dog
136.2 - 14.132 | Typewriter. Rouvelier leaves reciting the facts to Link. Link knows about Cross disappearing.
136.3 - 14.133 | Link knows about all of the Ark events as well as Rinali being suspected of possessing the "Heart."
136.4 - 14.134
136.11 - 14.141 | That's Link speaking in the second to last panel. He tends to make factual statements.
136.17 - 14.147 | They say specifically that it's 24-hour surveillance...
Other Notes:
- The views held by Central are said to be as follows: The Order's purpose isn't to take care of the Exorcists, Exorcists are considered sacrifices, they only care about winning the "Holy War" and protecting their faith, all opposed are labeled heretics.
- Link knows about the 14th being a requirement for being able to move the Ark. It is not yet confirmed that Allen is the 14th.
- Central already suspected/was aware that the Akuma plant was in the Ark when they assigned Cross the mission to destroy it.
- "As the army of God we must remain pure: we cannot associate with the forces of evil." --Rouvelier.
The 137th Night: The Foundling and the Pierrot
137.1 - 14.149 | "I have been instructed to keep watch over you starting today," is the translation in the tankouban version. Also, evidence of Link baking.
137.6 - 14.154 | The more accurate translation states that they don't know the name of the 14th Noah, which is why he is referred to as the 14th. This seems to imply they know the names of the other Noah.
137.7 - 14.155 | All the translations for this chapter are a little loose. This is actually where Rabi first calls him "hokuro futatsume." It's like... "Two-moles" or "Two-spots." Also, "He's a watchdog they've sent to keep an eye on us." And note that my pie is delicious :|b.
137.8 - 14.156 | Link knows his way around the Headquarters better than Allen.
137.10 - 14.158 | All the guys who work as guards apparently shave their heads... They're all bald (except that one).
137.12 - 14.160 | ...Just... ignore the translations on this page. Link does spare some words to ask if Allen is okay, though he follows that up with some blunt accusations...
137.13 - 14.161 | "Fufu, you didn't tell Supervisor Komui anything about this now did you." This is pretty much the only scene where Link laughs or smirks.
137.14 - 14.162
137.16 - 14.162 | You can keep ignoring the translations. Link's only smile so far goes here.
Other Notes:
- Members of Crow were present at one of Rinali's attempts to escape. Ground in the area around her looks cracked, possibly a binding attack...? (Yeesh, she's like 12 or something...)
- Central already suspects (having seen Allen use the Ark) that Cross knew about Allen's ability when he took him in as an apprentice.
- Allen and Cross aren't the only people involved in carrying on the 14th's will. Central has in custody an old guy who sought out their protection against the Earl. This is who Central has been getting information from.
The 138th Night: Yet the Hands of Time Move Onward
138.1 - 14.167 | :|b Link sleeps on the floor by Allen's bed on a futon o>. Button up striped pajamas.
138.2 - 14.168 | middle panel, Link carries around a notebook/binder.
138.5 - 14.171 | Link brushes with his right hand. Little text in the last panel is actually Allen and Rabi continuing their argument ("Have you forgotten I'm older than you?" "No, that's impossible." "I'm definitely taller than you though.") Link doesn't worry about his height, probably...
138.6 - 14.172
138.7 - 14.173
138.14 - 14.180 | Link is 19. I counted about 14 cakes in that pile he's eating for breakfast... Anyway he doesn't mind making hypocritical statements, and he's... basically mothering at Allen (but with lots of >:| faces).
Other Notes:
- Parasitic type users don't live a complete life-span due to the Innocence constantly pushing them beyond their limits.
- Black gate number is 26.
The 139th Night: HQ Under Attack
139.6 - 15.012
139.7 - 15.013 | Last panel seems rather conflicted, but he made up his mind quickly.
139.8 - 15.014 | Link suggests Allen use the Ark's powers to get past the wall (revealed in later pages).
Other Notes:
- Allen gates through the ceiling. The gate number is 4. All the white gates have an odd shape and they're not actually consistent between each gate either, while the black Ark's gates are rectangular.
The 140th Night: Beyond the Door
140.11 - 15.035 | Link apologizes when called on allowing Allen to use the Ark. I read him as being aware of bending a rule there.
Other Notes:
- Rabi is the one that makes the initial announcement that the science department is under attack.
- Medical Ward is set up as a refuge for civilians in case of emergency. This doesn't include Finders and Exorcists who have their Innocence.
- Black gate under the egg is numbered 27.
The 141st Night: Allies
Other Notes:
- Out of curiosity how the hell did the Generals get into the room? I mean... they pop up on the Egg when its time is reversed... I'M SURE IT'S ARTISTIC LICENSE (it was a very cool scene) but the logic...
The 142nd Night: Come On Now
Other Notes:
- ...Now, out of curiosity, isn't Akuma-blood poisonous? Why is Winters bathing in it then...? Not that.. he shouldn't... I mean, I just wonder...
The 143rd Night: Glance
143.5 - 15.077 | Link is given the mission to retrieve an Egg fragment (this is conjecture at this point but it plays out in later scenes). Last word bubble is "Karada wa namatteimasen ne?" Translated as "You're still in good shape, I take it?" and "You still feel up to this kind of task, yes?" I'm probably reading into it too much but it seems like an odd thing to note, as if Link hasn't done this kind of mission in a while? (It's probably just because we don't know anything about Crow yet so Hoshino is being mysterious...) Also he was totally just lurking out there in the hallway wasn't he.
The 144th Night: Black Star, Red Star
144.9 - 15.097 | The third and fourth panels show Link stealthing into the Science Deparment through the Ark in the confusion.
144.16 - 15.104 | Panel two shows a piece of the Akuma Plant Egg hitting the floor (Allen brought a bunch of fragments with him as he jumped out of the gate). Link's there to retrieve it (mission accomplished).
Other Notes:
- Allen is a "Critical", someone who's passed 100% synchro with their Innocence
The 147th Night: Weapon of Slaughter
147.09 - 15.147 | That's Link's foot in the last panel.
147.10 - 15.148 | Link's switchblades make no sense to me, I just wanna say that. Anyway, he cuts through huge chunks of debris traveling at high speeds with relative ease. He's already carrying the piece of Egg in that thing he's wearing over his shoulder so that much of his mission is complete. It's debatable whether or not he was explicitly given the assignment "keep Walker alive" or if he's acting on his own. Either way Allen is valuable to the Order.
147.12 - 15.150
Other Notes:
- ep.101: I just wanted to mention that they added stuff in between scenes in the anime. Link is patching Allen up there.
The 148th Night: Summoned
Other Notes:
- I like how in the same morning both a Noah + a billiondy Akuma and a Level 4 have attacked the HQ. Poor guys...
- Third White Ark gate goes to the Asia branch.
The 149th Night: That Day, The Girl...
Other Notes:
- Forgot to note earlier but Rouvelier's communicator is in the neck-pin that he wears on his neck-tie/ribbon. Presumably Link's also works like that.
- "The Black Order is the Pope's personal army. Exorcists belong to the Pope." --Rouvelier
- He also says, "What do you mean to accomplish by offering Exorcists protection? You should know that Akuma can only be defeated by Exorcists. If those Exorcists do not fight against them, then what can be done? For the sake of the Order you must fight, Rinali. ARE YOU AN EXORCISTS OR NOT?!!!"
The 150th Night: Blood and Chains
Other Notes:
- Rouvelier: "Hmph... your 'records' is it? Bookmen are like hyenas that flock to a battle field. Well, it's the Records after all... Do whatever you want."
- There're lots of people related to the Rouvelier family in positions of power in the Black Order, but Malcolm C. Rouvelier is pretty much at the top, according to Bookman records.
- For about a hundred years members of the Rouvelier family have been offered up as "saints" or experimented on. "Bloodline of Saints"
The 156th Night: Next Stage
156.2-3 - 16.105
156.11 - 16.114 | Fourth panel is Link asking Rinali where Allen is.
156.12 - 16.115 | Middle panel on the bottom.
156.13 - 16.116 | Link is still carrying the piece of Egg with him. He decided to take Allen to the Medical Ward before going to find Rouvelier. Also depending what floor Allen is on, Link would have carried him up around ten or twelve floors to reach the Medical Ward. He still insists it's his job. Also, doesn't hesitate at all when picking Allen up. He's very matter-of-fact about everything.
156.14 - 16.117 | Again, straightforwards about explaining a situation.
156.18 - 16.121 | My characters tend to be indirect when it comes to looking out for people. He doesn't say anything about Allen crying. I tend to think he's using an indirect way of comforting Allen through physical contact... even though he's also just carrying Allen to get medical attention.
Other Notes:
- Rouvelier makes a little "yes!" gesture when the Level 4 is blown up.
- Cross already made the deal with Rouvelier that he'll get to talk to Allen.
The 157th Night: Recitativo
157.2 - 16.124 | Handing over the Egg fragment to Rouvelier. Randomly, Cross's hair looks nice all smoothed down...
157.3 - 16.125 | He probably held that salute until the boat was out of sight...
157.8 - 16.130 | As noted in my Other Notes, Link wasn't with them when the Exorcits were sparring. Possibly already waiting in the office? I'm a little unsure of Link's rank as an official but he's privy to most of the stuff going on.
Other Notes:
- How much time actually passed? Allen is well enough to be sparring with Kanda even though after the Level 4 fight he couldn't move. How fast is his healing? Also, during the sparring scene Link doesn't appear to be around to watch Allen.
- Link was present for the discussion of the Crystal-type Innocence.
The 159th Night: Moving in the Storm; 2AM
159.6 - 16.160 | Link just lets Allen fall over... Also he's looking pretty alert for it being 2 o'clock in the morning.
159.8 - 16.162 | "That isn't part of my job." Unless the situation seems dire, Link usually just stays in the background observing.
159.9 - 16.163 | Probably already aware that the melody can't be taught to anyone else.
159.10 - 16.164 | At this point Link knows more about the 14th situation and Allen's feelings on it than the other Exorcists.
159.11 - 16.165 | Up til this point Link probably assumed Allen knew more than he was letting on (which is.. kind of true) but he's starting to see that Allen knows less than he imagined.
159.14 - 16.168
Other Notes:
- I love that Hoshino consistently has those other two guys who survived from the ship sticking around Chaoji and being finders and stuff. :3 They're cute.
The 160th Night: The Destruction of the Black Order Redux
160.8 - 16.178
160.9 - 16.179
160.11 - 16.181
160.12 - 16.182
160.13 - 16.183 | Was not chained up by Komui.
160.15 - 16.185 | Ahaha, trembling with suppressed rage? How can the man who leads the Science Division of Headquarters be so irresponsible.
The 161st Night: The Destruction of the Black Order Again
161.2 - 17.008 | Someone found the article Hoshino copypastaed for the picture in the comments. Also Link's notebook has lots of little tabs stuck in it. He's probably got an organized system for what observations go where (I think one of the tabs nearly says 'allen' on it.) Link writes with his right hand.
161.3 - 17.009
161.6 - 17.012
161.7 - 17.013
161.8 - 17.014
The 162nd Night: The Destruction of the Black Order Returns
Other Notes:
- "Just like in the movies!" ...Do they have movies? Well they have fancy-strange stuff that recorders training sessions in the Asia Branch so it's not that much of a stretch...
- Last panel the hand of someone from Central?
The 164th Night: The Black Order is Truly Destoryed
164.2 - 17.056 | The fourth panel has Link.
Other Notes:
- There were, obviously, human experiments outside of the Rouvelier family as well. They have separate records for them.
The 165th Night: Rain
165.8 - 17.078 | Link has a black coat that goes over his Central uniform.
165.10 - 17.080 | When the other Crow and Rouvelier arrive at the new headquarters Link isn't in the Crow uniform.
165.11 - 17.081
165.12 - 17.082 | Link isn't the only one able to use the binding arts/techniques thing or Allen would have known about Link being a Crow sooner.
165.15 - 17.083 | No indication here yet, but I think the Crow behind Allen is Link.
Other Notes:
- Rabi and Link are present in the room with Allen and Cross. Rabi is there as a Bookman, Link is there as a Crow. Bookman, Komui, and Rouvelier are in a different room listening via ...some kind of bugging system. Probably part of the agreement.
The 166th Night: The Truth
Other Notes:
- Rabi knows about Crow. They have a reputation of being powerful.
- Link is aware of who Mana is, and all that backstory stuff with Allen and Cross.
The 167th Night: Allusion
Other Notes:
- Timcampy eats the cigarette Cross was smoking. It's probably the message mentioned later.
The 168th Night: Crossroads
168.11 - 17.129 | Crow to the very left is Link. He's the shortest XD. Also noting the thing Cross did with Timcampy. Ordered to continue his mission with Allen. Refers to Cross as 'Cross Marian' here. Previously called him 'General'. Uses 'General Marian' in the anime. Also, it's another instance where there are quotations around his name. The Thirds also call him "Inspector Howard Link" when they first show up.
The 169th Night: There was a Silence
169.7 - 17.143 | Link's first change of outfits. He's still wearing a high-necked shirt. First time you see him without gloves on. His hands are kind of thin and long compared to other people's hands.
169.8-9 - 17.145 | His coat's across his lap. Doesn't seem particularly perturbed by the number of Akuma running around outside that barrier thing... Chaoji's blond friend got a haircut...
169.12 - 17.148 | Seriously, his hands...
169.16 - 17.152 | Tends to refer to people by last name. Also despite his comment about wondering why he had to help he doesn't seem particularly opposed to it. Also presumably he just won against a champion at chess. Also, is perfectly at ease playing chess against a dead guy.
169.17 - 17.153 | Putting on his coat.
Other Notes:
- Gosh, comparing the pictures of Cross blood-splatter against the window, it feels like he was left there long enough for the blood to really start pooling under the window...
- Everyone else lost against the ghost hand guy.
The 170th Night: 10 Days Later
170.1 - 17.155
170.2 - 17.156 | Frederico has lovely hair...
170.3 - 17.157 | The coat Link put on last chapter is actually buttoned now. Also that book is the cookbook written by Rouvelier (A Selection of Masterpiece Sweets)
170.4 - 17.158 | Believes the Exorcists should conduct themselves with dignity as the symbol they wear is a representation of their connection with the Pope. Also, he doesn't pursue the topic with Kanda. Seems fine with letting that slide or else it just isn't enough to get him riled up.
170.6 - 17.160
170.8 - 17.162 | Link has a pocket-watch.
170.10 - 17.164
170.14 - 17.168
Other Notes:
- Everyone's been informed that Allen is the 14th. He's staying on duty as an Exorcist
The 171st Night: What Lies Hidden
171.3 - 17.175
171.12 - 17.184 | Link is in the bottom left of the bottom panel. He must have changed back out of his Crow uniform... Link found out about Cross' murder/disappearance before Allen did. And presumably saw Allen's face when he walked into the room.
171.15 - 17.186
171.16 - 17.187 | Allen didn't wait for him XD.
171.17 - 17.188 | He would have rather followed Rouvelier back to Central. :| DON'T GET KILLED ROUVELIER. Also Renee has the Akuma Egg fragment in America. Maybe they want to make a new egg (why would they do that though...).
The 172nd Night: An Announcement From G
172.6 - 18.012 | Another change of clothes for Link. They're in Paris, btw.
172.7 - 18.013
172.8 - 18.014
172.10 - 18.016
172.11 - 18.017 | He's reading again.
172.13 - 18.019
The 173rd Night: Sneak-thief? Ghost? Innocence? (linking elsewhere because OneManga scans are super-bad)
173.2 - 18.026 | Listening to Cross's last message.
173.5 - 18.029 | Allen isn't using polite speech here according to the notes.
173.6 - 18.030 | "Mask of Mana." Also Link and Allen seem to be on more familiar terms by now, or at least they kinda.. chat back and forth?
173.7 - 18.031 | :D They shared the last doughnut. Probably because Allen ate most of them while Link was reading...
173.16 - 18.040 | Ahaha, he knows just what to say. Link's hair takes a turn for the prettier starting here.
173.17 - 18.041 | Possessed.
The 174th Night: The Possessed Inspector
174.1 - 18.043 | The second show of Link's fighting prowess is when he's possessed by a 9-yr-old. GJ Link.
174.2 - 18.044
174.4 - 18.046
174.5 - 18.047 | Blows a hole through the wall just by swinging his switchblades at it...
174.6 - 18.048 | :( sob... Link looks good all mocky and grinny. Also "Hi-spec!"
174.7 - 18.049
174.8 - 18.050 | First time we see Link use those paper seals. "Hijutsu Shibaribane" or "Secret Technique: Binding Feathers." The seals float and he seems to have a lot of them hidden in his sleeve.
174.9 - 18.051 | "Baku" or "Seal." Lightning or energy attack.
174.10 - 18.052 | The first time you learn that the Crow are trained in combat from when they're little. The seals return and are put away. Presumably if the seal isn't destroyed in the attack it can be used again.
174.11 - 18.053
174.12 - 18.054 | ...Allen...
174.13 - 18.055
174.14 - 18.056
174.15 - 18.057
174.16 - 18.058
174.17 - 18.059 | Link's reaction to finding Allen's sword stuck through him is pretty calm... Well, probably he already knows it's properties too.
The 175th Night: The Child Thief
175.4 - 18.064
175.5 - 18.065 | Link's response is more like "Of course not."
175.6 - 18.066
175.7 - 18.067 | He's expressing surprise but "Wow" doesn't seem quite right... it's just "Eeeh" in Japanese.
175.9 - 18.069 | "Oh, come on now! Don't start crying from a little thing like that! That's pathetic!" Strong reaction to Allen crying XD.
175.10 - 18.070
175.12 - 18.072
The 176th Night: The Barrier Battle
176.10 - 18.088 | It's kind of interesting that he takes time to pull off his burnt coat.
176.11 - 18.089 | Link doesn't yell at other people very much, but he yells at Allen a lot.
176.12 - 18.090 | Another straightforward explanation, even though Timothy's a kid.
176.13 - 18.091 | He's kind of strong, isn't he... Polite and matter-of-fact.
176.15 - 18.093
176.16-17 - 18.095
The 177th Night: Lonely Boy
177.3 - 18.099
177.5 - 18.101
177.6 - 18.102 | Apply pressure, you fool! Well... I guess Emilia's wounds were conveniently not as bad as they looked. But still. Anyway, he moves quick enough to avoid gunshots even while carrying someone.
177.8 - 18.104 | Strong opinions about people who side with the Earl and Akuma. Pretty much condemns them.
177.9 - 18.105
177.11 - 18.107 | He's strong enough to take on a level 2 Akuma without Innocence. I wonder how that would have actually gone... Likely he wouldn't be able to kill one but maybe he's able to restrain one enough that it couldn't escape? Also assesses the situation before jumping in.
177.12 - 18.108 | Not that that was a huge help... orz.
177.13 - 18.109 | And he was just kicked through a wall too. "I may not wear the Black Uniform, but I have Black Wings."
177.14 - 18.110 | The symbol on the seal is different from the kind he used before. This one has a fire radical. "Spells give power. Skills release it. My mind becomes my fist." The power of the thing rips up his sleeve...
177.15 - 18.111 | The fire seal he used on himself can also be stuck on his opponents. The technique is called "Hijutsu Kurebaenki." Not sure what the translated technique name is for Kurebaenki. Black feather fire-related-symbol air-radical?? "Explosive Black Feathers" maybe? Takes time to warn Timothy.
177.16 - 18.112 | The resulting explosion is pretty big.
177.17 - 18.113 | And Link is turned into a puppet. Was the banishing thing unsuccessful? His attack was interrupted...?
The 178th Night: I'm Sorry
178.1 - 18.115 | Still a puppet. I like that Timcampy is all hisssss
178.10 - 18.124 | He's only kicked over by the Akuma. I assume this means he'll get fixed whenever Hoshino comes back from her hiatus since it's just... more reversible than actually being crushed like the broker nun. It actually looks like Tim tried to cushion him.
178.11 - 18.125 | Before the communicator thing was the tie-clip. I assume after he changed out of his Central uniform he was carrying around the pen.
178.14 - 18.129
Other Notes:
- Sheesh, Allen is THOROUGHLY RIDDLED WITH BULLETS here. Seriously, what is his healing factor that he can still get up again after this sort of thing.
The 179th Night: Timothy Innocence
179.1 - 18.133 | Red eyes again. I GUESS I'LL JUST GO WITH IT.
179.14 - 18.147 | Link is still a puppet.
179.15 - 18.148
179.16 - 18.149 | Emilia's holding him the whole time XD.
179.17 - 18.150 | flop
The 180th Night: Tsukikami Level II
180.5 - 18.157 | Link is not actually on this page, just his pen.
180.8 - 18.160 | Timothy actually calls him 'anchan'
180.17 - 18.169 | LINK LIIVES. Things of note: he doesn't bother waiting to become completely normal before getting the fuck up and back into the action, his seals can be used defensively against an energy attack from a level 3 Akuma, he seems to control the seals with arm/hand movements, ..I dunno, he uses 'da' instead of 'desu' at the end of that last sentence.
Other Notes:
- guards have been assigned to Reever by Assistant Supervisor Fey. They look like they're Crow. Probably of a higher level than Link since they're given a measure of individuality since their faces aren't completely covered?
The 181st Night: Night Soaring
181.7 - 18.177 | The arrangement of the seals doesn't have to be in a single row, or circular. They're also effective against physical attacks. (What is that face, Timothy...)
181.8 - 18.178
181.9 - 18.179 | When the spells fail the seals burn and become useless. In the second panel it looks like Link's hand is placed protectively over Timothy's head XD. Also I love Link's hair. Also his last thought here is about Rouvelier lololo... :| sob I guess his hero-worship is that far along... o link...
181.10 - 18.180 | Still loving his hair.
181.11 - 18.181 | Link recognizes this guy's voice. Also what is up with that guy's arm...
181.15 - 18.185 | Madarao is probably that guy's name. Ahaha, lookit Link's face! I wonder how they know each other.
181.16 - 18.186 | I assume whoever is speaking is identifying Madarao as a Crow. "karasu no omae ga naze?"
Other Notes:
- The skulls say that no human can pass through their barrier but that Crow(?) guy, Madarao, walked through it no problem.
- It seems the Akuma can be taken care of by means besides Innocence, though I wonder how permanent it is. ETA: VERY PERMANENT because they're HALF AKUMA orz...
The 182nd Night: Darkness Touch
182.6 - 19 | Carrying Timothy o/
182.10 - 19 | "!!!" Everyone knows what the sword does. It's BAD that the 14th seems to be responding/manifesting.
Other Notes:
- o Allen, Cross already told you you have a Noah inside you. Of course it'll hurt if you stab yourself with your Noah-killing sword.
- The image that the Akuma sees of the 14th is very similar to Rhode's corpse-y rotting form.
- There's a stigmata over the place where Allen stabbed himself. Is it permanent?
The 183nd Night: You Just Have To Wash Your Face
183.2 - 19 | Thinking thoughts on Madarao's commentary.
183.4 - 19
183.5 - 19 | Link knows something's up with the Crow
183.8 - 19 | >|
183.9 - 19
183.10 - 19 | Just the word bubble. Very practical and straightforward about Galmar not being able to do anything against Akuma.
183.18 - 19 | :|a Link pays such close attention to stuff Allen says...
183.19 - 19 | :( furniture. It's actually "empty air" in Japanese, I think. Also Allen is scarred like crazy and not hiding it.
Other Notes:
- New HQ also has huge baths apparently
The 184nd Night: Neogyps
184.10 - ? | HAHAHAHA LINK IS SO CUTE AND MODEST. Two hours. Also the hallways are cold apparently.
184.11 - ? | Allen so mean to Link :(. Link is harsh with Rabi. I assume Rabi stops by to bug them a lot.
184.14 - ? | Link hasn't told Allen who the Crow are.
184.15 - ? | clearly has Thoughts on the subject :|
184.16 - ? | Seems to have been treating Crow info as classified, keeping it to himself. Clearly doesn't know what Rouvelier's plans with the Egg were. Why was Link spared?
Other Notes:
- Strange symbol in the sky in Allen's dream. I thought it was a plane or something at first but it might be something else... the 'guest'?
- I wonder if Allen named himself :|a "I'm not 'ooo' Just call me Allen, okay?"
The 185th Night: Born of Love and Hatred
185.5 - ? | always stands to the side or keeps out of the way. Timcampi likes him.
185.9 - ? | Immediate concern for Allen XD;
185.12 - ? | grrr hisss. Specifies "currently".
185.13 - ? | In the raws they say "Inspector Howard Link" in quotes. Is it contempt? Is it an indication that isn't who he really is?
185.16 - ? | Komui was aware of Link's mission.
185.17 - ? | Link is completely taken off guard :(
Other Notes:
- Five members of Crow were converted.
.2
The 186th Night: Illusion
186.13 - ? | \o/ What is he wearing
186.15 - ? | Link clearly has FEELINGS on the subject of Crow being turned into half Akumas, but \o/ unvoiced.
186.16 - ? | He seems to be falling on the side of the cynical though...
186.17 - ? | LURK
The 187th Night: Party and Party
187.2-3 - ?
187.35 - ? | Meanwhile, Link is lost. Hoshino probably did it to keep Link from getting Noah'd. He seems to be wielding tonfas. I wonder why he get's an earpiece while the others got small ear-band things. Hair's in a tube-thing rather than braided. Kyaa his shirt kyaa~
Other Notes:
- 35 year lag for Wisely's awakening.
- One of the Noah (the 14th?) swore he'd be by the Earl's side no matter what happened. That Noah looks a LOT like Allen :|a They also say he looks like Ticky though... it seems. Explains Allen's Ticky-hair when he goes all 14th...
- timeskipped from Istanbul, Turkey mission (last chapter) to Jordan. There must have been some busy-ness and action in between.
- Allen can get messages from HQ but not Link?
- "Guardian Feathers" is the shielding spell.
- lolo MPREG?! sob the third-exorcists are "wombs". Each of the five Crow, once they have absorbed enough Akuma, will become a "womb" to create other third-exorcists. They knew going into it that they would be giving up their lives.
- The Crow (Tokusa in particular) envy Exorcists' ability to fight the Akuma. This may be the first chance they've had to work directly against the Earl's forces rather than doing dirty work within the organization.
- Sherril's words to Tokusa seem to be farther implications of someone in the Order working against them? To go with Rouvelier suspecting someone in Central had Cross killed.
- Man, the Earl's human form looks a lot like Mana, huh.
ETA: A LOT OF THESE NOTES ARE OLD! This is a reposting with updated links, since my old one linked to OneManga. There may be updated notes here and there but for the most part it's the same. I'll try to catch up to the latest chapter sometime soon.
The numbering system is just chapter.page - volume.page.
The 135th Night: Rest With The Occasional Cloud
Other Notes:
- I think Kanda's Gay Sweater is actually Order-issue. Allen wears a black version of it. Miranda and Rinali both wear black tanks. Everyone wears variations of the same stuff combined with their own stuff, I assume.
The 136th Night: The Sheep and the Dog
Other Notes:
- The views held by Central are said to be as follows: The Order's purpose isn't to take care of the Exorcists, Exorcists are considered sacrifices, they only care about winning the "Holy War" and protecting their faith, all opposed are labeled heretics.
- Link knows about the 14th being a requirement for being able to move the Ark. It is not yet confirmed that Allen is the 14th.
- Central already suspected/was aware that the Akuma plant was in the Ark when they assigned Cross the mission to destroy it.
- "As the army of God we must remain pure: we cannot associate with the forces of evil." --Rouvelier.
The 137th Night: The Foundling and the Pierrot
Other Notes:
- Members of Crow were present at one of Rinali's attempts to escape. Ground in the area around her looks cracked, possibly a binding attack...? (Yeesh, she's like 12 or something...)
- Central already suspects (having seen Allen use the Ark) that Cross knew about Allen's ability when he took him in as an apprentice.
- Allen and Cross aren't the only people involved in carrying on the 14th's will. Central has in custody an old guy who sought out their protection against the Earl. This is who Central has been getting information from.
The 138th Night: Yet the Hands of Time Move Onward
Other Notes:
- Parasitic type users don't live a complete life-span due to the Innocence constantly pushing them beyond their limits.
- Black gate number is 26.
The 139th Night: HQ Under Attack
Other Notes:
- Allen gates through the ceiling. The gate number is 4. All the white gates have an odd shape and they're not actually consistent between each gate either, while the black Ark's gates are rectangular.
The 140th Night: Beyond the Door
Other Notes:
- Rabi is the one that makes the initial announcement that the science department is under attack.
- Medical Ward is set up as a refuge for civilians in case of emergency. This doesn't include Finders and Exorcists who have their Innocence.
- Black gate under the egg is numbered 27.
The 141st Night: Allies
Other Notes:
- Out of curiosity how the hell did the Generals get into the room? I mean... they pop up on the Egg when its time is reversed... I'M SURE IT'S ARTISTIC LICENSE (it was a very cool scene) but the logic...
The 142nd Night: Come On Now
Other Notes:
- ...Now, out of curiosity, isn't Akuma-blood poisonous? Why is Winters bathing in it then...? Not that.. he shouldn't... I mean, I just wonder...
The 143rd Night: Glance
The 144th Night: Black Star, Red Star
Other Notes:
- Allen is a "Critical", someone who's passed 100% synchro with their Innocence
The 147th Night: Weapon of Slaughter
Other Notes:
- ep.101: I just wanted to mention that they added stuff in between scenes in the anime. Link is patching Allen up there.
The 148th Night: Summoned
Other Notes:
- I like how in the same morning both a Noah + a billiondy Akuma and a Level 4 have attacked the HQ. Poor guys...
- Third White Ark gate goes to the Asia branch.
The 149th Night: That Day, The Girl...
Other Notes:
- Forgot to note earlier but Rouvelier's communicator is in the neck-pin that he wears on his neck-tie/ribbon. Presumably Link's also works like that.
- "The Black Order is the Pope's personal army. Exorcists belong to the Pope." --Rouvelier
- He also says, "What do you mean to accomplish by offering Exorcists protection? You should know that Akuma can only be defeated by Exorcists. If those Exorcists do not fight against them, then what can be done? For the sake of the Order you must fight, Rinali. ARE YOU AN EXORCISTS OR NOT?!!!"
The 150th Night: Blood and Chains
Other Notes:
- Rouvelier: "Hmph... your 'records' is it? Bookmen are like hyenas that flock to a battle field. Well, it's the Records after all... Do whatever you want."
- There're lots of people related to the Rouvelier family in positions of power in the Black Order, but Malcolm C. Rouvelier is pretty much at the top, according to Bookman records.
- For about a hundred years members of the Rouvelier family have been offered up as "saints" or experimented on. "Bloodline of Saints"
The 156th Night: Next Stage
Other Notes:
- Rouvelier makes a little "yes!" gesture when the Level 4 is blown up.
- Cross already made the deal with Rouvelier that he'll get to talk to Allen.
The 157th Night: Recitativo
Other Notes:
- How much time actually passed? Allen is well enough to be sparring with Kanda even though after the Level 4 fight he couldn't move. How fast is his healing? Also, during the sparring scene Link doesn't appear to be around to watch Allen.
- Link was present for the discussion of the Crystal-type Innocence.
The 159th Night: Moving in the Storm; 2AM
Other Notes:
- I love that Hoshino consistently has those other two guys who survived from the ship sticking around Chaoji and being finders and stuff. :3 They're cute.
The 160th Night: The Destruction of the Black Order Redux
The 161st Night: The Destruction of the Black Order Again
The 162nd Night: The Destruction of the Black Order Returns
Other Notes:
- "Just like in the movies!" ...Do they have movies? Well they have fancy-strange stuff that recorders training sessions in the Asia Branch so it's not that much of a stretch...
- Last panel the hand of someone from Central?
The 164th Night: The Black Order is Truly Destoryed
Other Notes:
- There were, obviously, human experiments outside of the Rouvelier family as well. They have separate records for them.
The 165th Night: Rain
Other Notes:
- Rabi and Link are present in the room with Allen and Cross. Rabi is there as a Bookman, Link is there as a Crow. Bookman, Komui, and Rouvelier are in a different room listening via ...some kind of bugging system. Probably part of the agreement.
The 166th Night: The Truth
Other Notes:
- Rabi knows about Crow. They have a reputation of being powerful.
- Link is aware of who Mana is, and all that backstory stuff with Allen and Cross.
The 167th Night: Allusion
Other Notes:
- Timcampy eats the cigarette Cross was smoking. It's probably the message mentioned later.
The 168th Night: Crossroads
The 169th Night: There was a Silence
Other Notes:
- Gosh, comparing the pictures of Cross blood-splatter against the window, it feels like he was left there long enough for the blood to really start pooling under the window...
- Everyone else lost against the ghost hand guy.
The 170th Night: 10 Days Later
Other Notes:
- Everyone's been informed that Allen is the 14th. He's staying on duty as an Exorcist
The 171st Night: What Lies Hidden
The 172nd Night: An Announcement From G
The 173rd Night: Sneak-thief? Ghost? Innocence? (linking elsewhere because OneManga scans are super-bad)
The 174th Night: The Possessed Inspector
The 175th Night: The Child Thief
The 176th Night: The Barrier Battle
The 177th Night: Lonely Boy
The 178th Night: I'm Sorry
Other Notes:
- Sheesh, Allen is THOROUGHLY RIDDLED WITH BULLETS here. Seriously, what is his healing factor that he can still get up again after this sort of thing.
The 179th Night: Timothy Innocence
The 180th Night: Tsukikami Level II
Other Notes:
- guards have been assigned to Reever by Assistant Supervisor Fey. They look like they're Crow. Probably of a higher level than Link since they're given a measure of individuality since their faces aren't completely covered?
The 181st Night: Night Soaring
Other Notes:
- The skulls say that no human can pass through their barrier but that Crow(?) guy, Madarao, walked through it no problem.
- It seems the Akuma can be taken care of by means besides Innocence, though I wonder how permanent it is. ETA: VERY PERMANENT because they're HALF AKUMA orz...
The 182nd Night: Darkness Touch
Other Notes:
- o Allen, Cross already told you you have a Noah inside you. Of course it'll hurt if you stab yourself with your Noah-killing sword.
- The image that the Akuma sees of the 14th is very similar to Rhode's corpse-y rotting form.

- I wonder if Allen named himself :|a "I'm not 'ooo' Just call me Allen, okay?"
