Thread: Chapter 144 Discussion - Seventeen pages this time!

G.Yeegar is that general, who was the first too die?

I don't agree with you - this battle was the example of thier combined powers, they are yet to be shown fighting strong opponents individualy. And only one Noah was here - thats hardly enough to kill 3 generals + >100% Allen. So I think we can't say that Yeegar was weaker then this 3.

Okay, but we have seen how much lv2 akuma and lv3 akuma power differs. When he was first introduced look how tired he is chasing a lv2 akuma. He even need <100&#37; allen to help him. And not to mention the gigantic akuma was there too (at current story), even if it is idiotic. Yeegar only use his chain to attack and he don't even have any special attacks. Don't really mind me for this little reminiscing.

I thought Theodore/Tiedoll (I don't what his name actually) was there too, that make 4 generals. But he isn't in this chapter, is he?
Btw, did Johnny die? He looks dead to me.

We never saw Yeegar fighting in the manga. I don't think it's a good idea to use the anime's power and information as an accurate source since it sometimes differs from the manga. Judging from the level 3s that we've seen, they're not that much more powerful than level 2s - Allen can beat them all fairly easily, but Kanda didn't have such a hard time with the akuma in Edo, and Lenalee only had problems with Eshi because she had an overwhelming disadvantage (that is, due to the nature of her weapon, she couldn't even move or attack).

In the manga, it's very likely that Yeegar's main problems were that he was old, and he also had no knowledge that the Noah would attack him. It was only after - and because of - his death that the Order became aware of the Noah's plans to attack the Generals. Daisya didn't see Tiki coming, either.

Tiedoll was in the battle, but he doesn't have offensive abilities (it seems) and therefore would not be counted in the attack.

Thanks for making everything clear, Digi, at some point I started confusing Yeegar with Tiedoll and was not sure if we are talking about the same person

Yeah, Tiedoll seems a support type - the same kind as Miranda - to me too.

Hevlaska might also be counted as a "support type" since her duty seems to be a container for the Innocence. Tiedoll's ability is still incredibly useful, though.

Thanks for reminding me about Yeegar. He didn't appear in manga but his name is mention.
Yeah, tiedoll ability is quite useful, but his ability didn't look to offensive and more to defensive or maybe support/helping, like reinard-fox said.

It's actually difficult to tell if the Generals are that much more powerful than regular Exorcists. Their invocation rate is higher, but as I mentioned, all the other Exorcists we've seen that have had training and experience seem to be able to take on the same kinds of akuma and win with ease (Cross vs. Tiki was an exception, but there were probably other reasons for that - Allen is hardly weak and he got beaten up by Tiki). Of course, there are only fourteen Exorcists alive, and three of those don't fight, so...

Sokaro is awesome with his weapon! I wonder if that was the 14th that Allen heard at the end

^ While being awesome as a warrior he appeares to be a complete asshole. I do not like him.

Did nobody notice that what Allen can hear at the end is the approach of a new monster??

At the top of one of the pages near the end there's a couple of frames showing what looks like the same space of corridor but in one of the frames you can see a leg. And then later a shot from the monster's POV of coming up a blood-spattered hallway in the dark.

The beast that devoured Johnny is coming for the rest of the gang! That's what Allen can hear.
