Yeah, the moment when Allen will realise who the earl is, is gonna be very painful! Combine that with when he will saw himself in Neah's memories, his mental breackdown is gonna be to another level. Poor kid.
I'd like to see Allen punch Cross for not telling him about the earl.
As for the Mana/Akuma thing, well, we know nothing at the moment. It could be the Apocryphos who modified Allen's memory buuut then there's how did he get cursed ... Well we'll see, if it's not explain in the flashback there'll may be a hint for a twist reveal much later on. We'll have to be attentive and patient.
I didnt think about his memory being altered but that's a plausible possibility!
Yeah I want him to punch cross too lmao
If I thought Allen was having an identity crisis before I guess that's nothing compared to when he'll learn mana was actually the earl......but It's very confusing to me because at the beginning of the story when Allen asks the earl to bring mana back to life his soul definitely came back in that skeleton akuma thingy so I guess it means when the oblivious mana died he actually kept on living in some way and gave in to his millennium earl memories, eventually becoming him and appearing before Allen....while having forgotten everything about him....to ask him if he wanted to bring mana/himself back to life hmmm. And a soul actually came when Allen called for mana so that means the millenium earl side of mana and the other oblivious one definitely got separated at that time...? So Allen killed the soul of the mana he knew in the end? Ugh
