D.Gray-man Episode 003: The Ghost of Mateel

The Ghost of MateelAllen arrives at the cafeteria and meets Jeryy, the Head Chef of the Black Order, who offers to cook him anything. Before Jeryy could prepare Allen’s long request, they see Buzz, a Finder, confronting Kanda. When Kanda starts to strangle the Finder, Allen confronts him. Luckily, Reever stops the fight when he tells them that Komui wanted to see them. After Komui wakes up from his nap (Reever has to tell him that Lenalee was getting married), he assigns Allen and Kanda – much to their dismay – to investigate strange occurrences in the ruins of a town called Mateel, located in Southern Italy. Apparently, an Innocence has been discovered there, but it is in danger of being taken by the Akuma. There is a legend that a ghost roams Mateel, killing anyone who wanders near it. The ghost is somehow connected to the Innocence.On the way there, Allen talks to Toma, a Finder, who told him about how strange occurrences in history are usually related to the Innocence. Meanwhile, the Finders in Mateel capture two Akuma in barriers, but they are attacked by a third one. Shortly after the two exorcists and Finder arrive, they witness the Akumas’ attacking the last remaining Finders. While Allen runs to fight the Akumas and tries to save the Finders, Kanda rescues Guzol and Lala, whom the Finders protected in a barrier. During Allen’s fight against the last Akuma, the Akuma evolves to Level 2. Kanda refuses to help Allen and leaves with the Mateel residents to a safe place. The episode ends with a stunned Allen being attacked by another Allen.

The Black OrderAllen finally arrives at the Black Order Headquarters. Due to a misunderstanding (mainly on Komui Lee’s account), everyone thinks he is an Akuma. Yuu Kanda confronts Allen and manages to damage his anti-Akuma weapon. Eventually, it is resolved when Komui finds a letter of introduction from Allen’s master, Cross Marian. Afterwards, Allen is allowed into Headquarters and is given a tour by Komui’s sister, Lenalee Lee. After getting his arm repaired by Komui, Allen is examined by Hevlaska, an exorcist who is able to measure his syncho ratio. In addition, she predicts that Allen will create a powerful “Destroyer of Time” in a dark future. From Komui, Allen learns more about the war between the Earl and the Innocence. Reever Wenhamm, the unfortunate assistant to Komui, is introduced in this episode as well. We also get a glimpse of Allen’s “dark” yet comical past with Cross Marian.
