some of the dgm tarot cards im working on~

the lineart on some of these is super thin so u can hardly see anything lol but i’m happy with the progress (will be sharing the rest later), it’s going super slow but i’ve reworked the lovers card at least five times now….. everything is still a wip tho, since i plan on editing/refining a few things, and honestly any criticism is greatly appreciated!

I want to talk about this page in particular because the implications here are so riveting.

Lavi is currently 19. Allen is believed to be 16.

Which means that either

The Bookmen are lying

Bookman Jr. did die then and Allen either didn't age the first few years or his age got fucked up multiple times before he met Mana

The first seems highly improbable at this point tbh. If the Bookmen were planning to make Allen take the poison to make him remember his past then lying about when Past!Junior (presumably) died seems counterintuitive and would only make Allen mistrust them more once he was in full possession of his memories.

It doesn't seem like Allen de-aged to an infant. He says his earliest memories are from when he was in the circus. Even if he did age back to an infant, he would've needed caretakers and nothing in the story suggests he had any.

(Note how little Allen doesn't have his Innocence in the last panel. What the fuck does this mean Hoshino.)

Allen looks perhaps 4-5 in both of these panels. If Past!Junior died over 19 years ago and Allen aged linearly since then, then he would have to be 23+ by now. Even considering the possibility that he aged back to an infant, he he should be 19+ by now and he looks barely over 17.

We can assume that he must've aged in a somewhat even fashion once he joined the circus because otherwise the performers would've commented on it at some point of time.

What happened in the years between Junior dying and little Allen getting into the circus? Was he in a child's body till he acquired his Innocence? How did he even acquire his Innocence in the first place?

There's also a final possibility that came to me while I was writing this post— Lavi was born while Past!Junior was still alive. He was born with the 'mark' because Past!Junior was no longer fit to be a Junior. I genuinely have no idea how Hoshino will explain this. Will it be some sort of corruption? Memory loss? Chronic illness?

All of them seem equally unlikely options at this point. But so did the possibility of Allen and Bookman Jr. being different people before this chapter :)

Either ways, this was a very intriguing chapter and I'm looking forward to whatever Hoshino has in store for us.

About the song.

Why is it "my key" and "my Timcanpy" but it's "Allen's music"?

The lullaby is one of the ongoing mysteries in DGM, with its origins yet unknown. It's used to control the White Ark, which is supposedly the same Ark the Noah have been using for 7,000 years, but...

Well, Nea is very explicitly referred to as the musician. We know he could control the Ark, and even had a hidden room in the Ark the Earl never knew about. Had the room always been there, or did Nea add it? Was it always this particular song that had to be played to control the Ark, or before Nea, was the Ark controlled another way?

I think before Nea and Mana, the controls had to be different, if the song is specifically Allen's.

In the anime, Nea says:

Hoshino could have just had Nea say "my key, my Timcanpy, my music score", but every version makes it seem that Nea considers the song to be Allen's, not his or Mana's.

Did Nea write the song for Allen? Did Allen teach them the song? Why use it to control the Ark? With recent details in mind, I'm very curious about this...

Nea got the lead role in his own movie!

With Allen and Mana by his side... 🤡

Regardless of what his relationship was with the twins, this whole arc made me realise how truly painful the whole ordeal had been for Cross.

He's known them since they were kids. And then Nea died in a horribly awful way and left a message that merely said "Find and protect Allen", and Mana lost his mind and memories and morphed into someone who was barely a shell of himself and Cross had to witness his downward spiral till he drew his last breath.

It must've been so deja vu for Cross. We don't know for sure if he was there when Nea and Mana were on the run from the previous gen of Noahs but Cross was Nea's ally. And at the very least he definitely knows how they struggled.

And then Nea died and Mana kept running alone. With Nea's last words reverberating in his head that was otherwise empty of most of the other memories they shared. Cross at the very least had Tim. Even though he served as an painful reminder of the relationship he shared with the twins(and Nea in particular).

But Mana was alone till he met Allen(the dog). And then even Allen died and he couldn't even mourn him. It somehow led to him befriending Red, the real "Allen", which again, ultimately resulted in....

And Cross had to witness all of that. He had to witness all of that and continue like nothing happened while also raising Allen and making sure he didn't find out any of it.

Its just so irrevocably sad
