In case you’ve missed the previous entries, this is a collection of every fishy moment / thing no one understood yet about the Earl (Mana, Neah and everything in between). I’m doing my best to collect everything but in case I forgot something, just tell me. It would be useful to have all the information together.
The Earl is such a nice human tho.

I think this post will cover just volumes 16 and 17.
Volume 16
This volume is full of information.
Since someone linked Hebraska to the Pillar, I’ll report something about her too. She’s said to be a killer of her own blood. Then, we learn that the Lvellie family has quickly gained power at the order, but no one as much as Lvellie. Daughters of Lvellie family were offered up as saints to God. No one knows what happened after that, but the Lvellies have become the top officers at the Order to foster “the bloodline of saints”. No one knows what it means, but in (I think) volume 25 discussion room it was kinda confirmed that Heb is a Lvellie.
Brief recap: after the LVL4, we learn that for some unknown reasons the Earl wants to keep the order alive. The Order was created several hundreds years ago when the cube was found by the New World Alliance to prevent the three days of darkness. When LVL4 wakes up, Bookman states that the final form of akumas is still unknown, and in 100 years (bookmen recorded the holy war for 100 years up till now) there are never been a LVL4 before. Even Cross seems shocked about the LVL4.
Anyway, let’s go on.
There’s that scene with the Earl talking about the heart. He said that he attacked the generals so the order would try harder to find it. The Earl mentions akumas evolution as something the Order shouldn’t know about, because if so, then the heart would know it too and Noah’s plan would fail.
He “sense” that the heart is awake and hiding through dummy hearts. There’s a lot to say about these panels, so I’ll just post the pictures.
The earl had no idea Neah could use innocence.
Volume 17
Here we have the famous talk between Allen and Cross.
Little recap: after the order went destroyed by the LVL4, Cross promised Lvellie to tell everything about the 14th, so he could be allowed to talk to Allen once.
Neah implanted his memory in Allen before he died. Cross couldn’t believe it until he saw Allen. After Neah tried to kill the Earl, life for him and Mana has been like hell because the Noahs were after them.
This panel bugs me. Translations differs a little in this. In this one it seems that Allen made a promise with Cross. In another translation, it seems that Neah promised Cross that he would have found Allen on Mana’s side. If you have any promp, please tell me.
Then, Cross says that *when* Allen turns into the 14th, he will kill someone he loves. This is Mana, now we know.
Edit: I forgot that Cross like...dies at the end of this. According to what we learn later in volume 25, it seems that Cross is not dead but under Road’s control. Anyway, Bookmen are afraid that they might face the same ending because they witnessed what happened between Cross and Allen.
- Noahs hate the Pillar. Noahs hate innocence. The Pillar is made of innocence and ok, God destroyed the earth in the Bible as well we could expect that. The Earl is the pillar to be. Is the earl the heart?
- If so, why did they say that if the earl disappears, the heart would destroy them? What’s between the earl and the heart?
- Is one of Mana and Neah the heart and the other the Noah? So if they reunite will the earl turn into that Pillar?
- How can Allen have memories of that if Neah doesn’t have Noah memories?
- How can Lina remember that if she couldn’t even remember her parents?
- So is the third side of the war the ones that don’t believe this shit is going to happen in this world? Cross didn’t.
- Is Neah the one trying to save Mana thus making the Pillar to happen? Is that why everyone hates him?
