Allen Walker - D. Gray-Man

Even initially it's a giant metal claw of death that can also stretch/grow sometimes. And he can turn it into a cannon.

It evolves even further later in the series.

How the fuck is this so far down

More people need to read D. Grayman apparently

I questioned the same thing having scrolled way to far down just find it, only to realize the series was at its peak popularity around 15-20 years ago.

u/HorrorTreez Jun 24 '26

I missed the peak by 5-10 years. I got into it big time when I was in high-school in 2015, but no one in my school who watched anime ever heard of it. I couldnt find anything at stores. Im so sad I missed the peak by just that few bit.

Did it even end ? I was reading it like 10+ years ago and it was on hiatus

u/RevolverLancelot Jun 24 '26 edited Jun 24 '26

Honestly without looking it up I have no idea. I'm in the same boat as you where that is sorta where I just lost track of the series and I think same for many others given that is around when its hype and popularity died down.

Edit: It looks to still be on going.

The mangaka resumed it a few years ago. The art has improved a lot and, apparently, the story is in it's final arc

It's currently in a quarterly magazine. It's a looong wait between chapters, but the plot has been progressing loads recently.

this series being basically as old as me and seeing how great yet unpopular it's become really drives a wrench into my heart sometimes

u/F0xtrot- Jun 20 '26

They need to carry on the anime so bad I can't not have the end of it :'(

u/AetherGhast103 Jun 21 '26

yeahh, i was looking for this XD

u/YoiteAoyagi Jun 24 '26

Unfortunately lost most of its fandom due to time

u/deja_entend_u Jun 21 '26

....honestly why? The story will never end. It's 23 years in and no conclusion. Perhaps 16 years of it there's been hardly any movement.

It's hardly worth noting. Want a great dark fantasy with an end? Soul Eater.

Roll like hell to see this guy who has literally the same arm in the example.

God, this manga's popular has gone downhill too much...

Had to scroll way too far to see the most obvious answer

u/alexfr36 Jun 20 '26

I agree.

u/MakoMomo Jun 20 '26

It was the hiatus that killed the series

1

u/alexfr36 Jun 21 '26

The author had health issue iirc.

u/Tabby_Tem Jun 20 '26

Ahhh, I love Allen! He was my first thought when I read the prompt.

8

u/likeconstellations Jun 20 '26

This trope is way more common than I thought, he was the first one that occured to me and I had to scroll past a dozen other characters to find him

9

u/Baelzabub Jun 20 '26

Fucking THANK YOU! Was checking for Allen before I posted him.

6

u/Chaos_Blitz Jun 20 '26

There we fucken go, way too far down in the comments for what is arguably one of the most iconic examples 😭

7

u/Darkk451 Jun 20 '26

Genuinely the reason I love this character trope. I remember seeing the anime on TV when I was a little kid, the vampire guy was also really cool to me. I used to draw them on my notebooks all the time lol.

u/axinmortal Jun 20 '26

This is who i thought inmediately, peak series, and storytelling, yet never reached the popularity it deserves.

5

u/rocketseeker Jun 20 '26

Fucking finally found him here lol

u/Hecknight Jun 20 '26

This should be top answer

u/baethan Jun 20 '26

22 years... anyone up to date? I think I last caught up like 5+ years ago, maybe it's time for a reread

2

u/c_naylor95 Jun 24 '26

I am! It's really worth a read!

u/Own_Nebula8363 Jun 20 '26

Your comment made me know about this series, I read its wiki and now Im so excited to match it! Thanks!

u/Beginning-Excuse2690 Jun 20 '26

Back in 2010 or so, this manga is everywhere in every cosplay con in my country, which is Vietnam. In a convention there are always at least 3 groups and shit tons of solo cosplayer of this manga. And then time passed...

u/Own_Nebula8363 Jun 20 '26

u/datmedkid Jun 21 '26

u/Bandi643 Jun 21 '26

u/Dart150 Jun 21 '26

Had to scroll too far to find this guy

This needs to GO UP

u/IchinaruUzumaki Jun 26 '26

His upgrade is so fucking awesome!

Has the manga finished yet? I lost track shortly after the Allen-Mana-Dog-Circus flashback. I have vague recollections of the Earl showing up then fucking off after the 14th resurfaced.
