Concept and creation [edit ]

Zone ‘s heroine Robin. Manga generator Katsura Hoshino based Allen ons heroine Robin. Manga godhead Katsura Hoshino originally had no plans to create Allen ‘s character in D.Gray-man ; she wanted the Millennium Earl to be the story ‘s supporter. Hoshino found the Earl unsuitable for use as a main fictional character in a manga magazine aimed at teenagers so she created Allen. [ 6 ] Hoshino thought a mature purpose would be better ; [ 7 ] although she believed his final examination design looked best clothed with a Black Order consistent, she wondered whether it should be more masculine. [ vol. 1 :61 ] Hoshino said she did not know how Allen originated ; she likes her main characters to be boisterous, crude idiots. [ vol. 1 :61 ] She said the general mind for his design was an “ energetic young with messy fly-a-way haircloth ”, but when he was drawn with the undifferentiated of the Black Order—the group Allen joins—she sensed a “ miss of coordination ”. [ 7 ] To make a bigger affect with Allen ‘s arrival to the Black Order, Hoshino gave him the dub “ Destroyer of Time ”, which has no relevance to the report. [ 8 ] Hoshino based Allen on Robin, the protagonist of her one-shot comic Zone. [ vol. 1 :61 ] Comparing the two, she called Allen a “ different kind of boy ”. [ 7 ] According to Hoshino ‘s beginning editor program, Allen was primitively going to be a limited Akuma who looked like a son. Her editor advised her to make Allen more vulnerable by depicting him clamant, which led to Allen ‘s sex being male to make a bigger affect with the readers. [ 9 ] As the manga continued, Hoshino called him a brother and found a relationship between herself and the character, although Hoshino still admired the Millennium Earl. [ 10 ] When the series started, Hoshino drew a discolor double of Allen being held by a limb of an Akuma, representing both the series ‘ calm and crotesque atmosphereat the same time. [ 11 ] Allen was introduced as a “ gentleman ”. [ 7 ] She demonstrated Allen ‘s dark side when the fictional character struck his overlord Cross Marian in anger at his inability to learn how he would become the 14th Noah descendant : Nea D. Campbell. According to Hoshino, Cross Marian was angry with Allen for the attack but enjoyed seeing this side of his scholar. [ 12 ] For the discharge involving the third base Exorcists, Hoshino ‘s editors advised her to draw Allen as a combatant for the sake of the manga ‘s characters Yu Kanda and Alma Karma, who are heavily featured in the saga. [ 6 ] Allen ‘s origins are not revealed in the manga but alternatively in the third unhorse novel by Kaya Kizaki who felt the motivation to reread the original D.Gray-man manga in order to understand Allen ‘s portrayal. Hoshino found difficulties in writing the origins of Allen and Mana despite the ease it might come. Kizaki provided Hoshino ‘s aid in the make which greatly helped the manga generator to appreciate their backstory. [ 13 ]

invention [edit ]

PierrotThe Crown Clown ascribable to Hoshino not liking Allen ‘s inaugural weaponry, she changed it to the Crowned Clown ( right ), inspired by the pierrot ( left ). Hoshino parted his hair in the plaza to emphasize his facial expressions. [ 7 ] Because he is an exorcist, she wanted him to have a “ very scary-looking visualize ” and added the scratch on his leave frontal bone ; the scar changed form several times before becoming a pentacle. Since Hoshino wanted the Order and its enemies to have ocular contrast, she gave Allen and the Exorcists black cloaks to convey a “ blue ” impression. Allen ‘s dress is drawn from Hoshino ‘s cosmopolitan impression of the deep nineteenth century ; his decoration tie and other accessories are intended to project a “ gentlemanlike double ”. [ 7 ] While Allen became a dark character, Hoshino besides wanted to symbolize his own fear in the way his persona became afraid his late defender Mana Walker did not love him. As a solution, Hoshino made a child design switch and rearranged the scar Mana ‘s Akuma placed on his frontal bone in a berserker state ; by having the scratch picture more distinctly, Allen ‘s disturbance about his love for Mana was more intelligibly expressed. [ 14 ] According to Hoshino, late in the series Allen ‘s hairdo becomes alike to that of a Super Saiyan —a transformation in the Dragon Ball series in which the character ‘s hair becomes peaky. [ vol. 11 :2 ] Hoshino said that early in D.Gray-man ‘s publication, Allen was one of the most unmanageable characters to draw. [ vol. 3 :86 ] By the tenth volume, she said the character was more unmanageable to draw than Yu Kanda. [ vol. 10 :204 ] In the manga ‘s first chapters, Allen ‘s eyes have had unlike colors—red and alight blue—due to a discussion between Hoshino and her editor program ; it was former decided to give him silver eyes. [ vol. 4 :72 ] The series ‘ style D.Gray-man is intended to have respective meanings, most referring to the state of Allen and the early independent characters. [ vol. 3 :26 ] During a narrative arc in which Allen tries to save a early exorcist named Suman Dark, Allen ‘s own Innocence—his deformed weapon “ Cross ” — is destroyed in a confrontation. Because Allen trains in a sub-branch of the Black Order to regain his Innocence, Hoshino wanted to show Allen ‘s very powers. Hoshino said she experienced a lack of inspiration in what it would be its true form to the point of feeling Allen ‘s frustration at not being able to fight again. finally, Hoshino was inspired to draw Allen ‘s real Innocence—the Crowned Clown—which is based on the italian Pierrot. She was satisfied with Allen ‘s dialogue that he would fight for both humans and Akumas, symbolized by his two hands, and drew this setting cautiously. [ 15 ] By the series ‘ begin, Hoshino intended Allen ‘s weaponry to evolve because she started feeling that Allen ‘s first weapon, Cross, might be appealing to the readers. Crown Clown was created to be a more fashionable and cooler weapon for Allen. [ 6 ] Because Allen hides his identity from the order but still claims to be an exorcist in a late arc, Hoshino conceived a new design for him that represents his self-proclamation of being one. [ 16 ] During these chapters, Hoshino decided to hide Allen by having him dress like clown who works in the streets. This grow worries within her editors who believed the readers might not like such design as Allen would be sent bald and with a mask. however, Hoshino relieved him when claiming that upon Allen ‘s reveal, the quality would not wear his bald and that his face without make up will be revealed in order to keep with fictional character ‘s ocular appeal. [ vol. 23 : ] Allen leaves the Black Order because the former story arch had besides many characters and required excessively much attempt. Hoshino was please with her portrait of Allen ‘s valediction to comrade Lenalee Lee because it connotes the character ‘s maturation. She noted that Allen had grown tall ; early in the serial he and Lenalee are depicted at the same stature. Hoshino said although Allen ‘s deviation fits the series ‘ tragic theme, he would always have comrades. [ 17 ] Allen and Kanda, despite their patronize arguments, part on good terms ; Hoshino said Kanda would assist Allen in the following fib. [ 18 ] Allen ‘s withdrawal from the Order had been planned since he encountered the enemy Road Kamelot because Allen ‘s nature conflicts with those of the early Exorcists, who unlike him do not wish to save the Akumas. [ 8 ]

voice actors [edit ]

A black-haired adult, smiling Todd Haberkorn voiced Allen Walker in the English dub of the series. In the first animated version of D.Gray-man Allen is voiced by Sanae Kobayashi, whom Hoshino praised for capturing the character. [ vol. 9 :187 ] During read of the anime, Kobayashi befriended the Earl ‘s voice actor Junpei Takiguchi as they chatted whenever their characters were absent from a commemorate, a lot to Hoshino ‘s surprise. [ vol. 11 :76 ] Kobayashi described Allen as an appealing character who, while not looking like a combatant, Kobayashi found his characterization interesting. Kobayashi aimed to portray Allen properly as she feared, her performance might make the quality act like a child. She states that despite his peaceful demeanor, Allen much shows angry affectation when fight, which allowed her to relate with the character. Once the series started airing, Kobayashi commented that Allen will mature across the narrative thanks to his interactions with other characters from the series. [ 19 ] For its zanzibar copal sequel, D.Gray-man Hallow, Kobayashi was replaced with Ayumu Murase. [ 4 ] Murase said he had positive thoughts about his oeuvre, hoping it would appeal to the audience. [ 20 ] During recordings of Hallow, Hoshino was surprised by Murase ‘s ferment, finding him suitable for Allen. Murase ‘s switching between two personalities—Allen and the Nea D. Campbell—impressed the manga author, who thought at foremost Murase was using a machine to change the shade of them. Although Murase only appeared with the Millennium Earl twice in Hallow, his job left a positive impression. During a air of Hallow, Hoshino made multiple illustrations of Allen interacting with the Noah kin to support the actors. Murase was moved by Hoshino ‘s decision to develop Allen in the manga and frankincense felt a better impression of his fictional character. [ 10 ] Allen is voiced by Todd Haberkorn for the two serial ‘ English-language dubs ; according to Haberkorn, he enjoyed voicing the character, [ 21 ] and once cosplayed as him. [ 22 ] In 2016, Haberkorn said that if he could voice Allen again he would pierce his ears. [ 23 ]

portrayal and themes [edit ]

While Allen is frequently associated with clowns, the Earl compares him with the White Clown. Hoshino created the adolescent Allen with the mind of being valet. [ 7 ] Despite his friendly demeanor, Allen is obsessed with the idea of exorcising demons to the point he does not care for his own wellbeing, frequently clashing with the Black Order mates in the summons. When Allen ‘s Innocence is destroyed in combat, Allen expresses disgust at his own failing, believing that he only was born to be exorcist. During a collide with another Akuma, Allen realizes that while he cares for the demons ‘ destine, he fell love towards the Black Order. This new mania gives Allen a new potency. As time passes, his word picture changes to the point that Hoshino wrote an interview between the fictional character and herself. In the interview she complained to Allen about his deepen from “ pure and innocent ” to a “ corrupted ” character, calling him “ Dark Allen ”. “ Allen ” replied that the change must be due to the series ‘ dark set. [ vol. 9 :191 ] His truthful innocence is claimed to be symobolic of his selfish direction acting as a pacifist whle fighting. Rather than killing Noah ‘s descendants, he rather wisheds to remove their iniquity personas [ ch. 116, 117 ] Allen shows a more aggressive side of his character when Cross Marian reveals to him he will become the 14th Noah. Because Allen was taught by his adopted church father, Mana, to walk his own path, in his own, Allen finds himself confused and hits his passkey. Cross marian notes that Allen is acting like his former self, claiming that his formal affectation was a result of trying to deal with Mana ‘s death. [ 24 ] While creating the character, Hoshino was afraid readers might dislike Allen because she wrote him as a hypocrite ; even though Allen is a human, he has sympathy for his enemies, the souls trapped inside the Akumas and the Noah kin. Hoshino did not like Allen because of his damaging actions despite his care words. She besides wondered whether readers would care for a supporter who is friendly with both his friends and his enemies. Despite her worries, Hoshino ‘s editor program said it would be positive if Allen remained as a hypocrite until the ending. Despite difficulties in writing him, Hoshino liked the challenge of writing Allen, expecting that future manga protagonists besides provide authors with this problem. [ 6 ] When Allen left the Order, Hoshino said the character had become difficult to write. Allen is a philanthropist ; Hoshino said she was not evenly kind. Because Jump Square —the manga ‘s host magazine at the time— was aimed at a youthful male hearing, Hoshino said she wanted to characterize Allen as a cheerful person rather than a trouble oneself adolescent. She found this depiction unmanageable because his life became more complicate as the serial progressed. Hoshino tries to balance Allen between “ persuasiveness and grief ”, and has required episodic hiatuses. She said the most challenge part of Allen ‘s side to draw is his smile ; he often smiles, sometimes when he is lying or unhappy. After Allen left the Order, Hoshino told readers his life might be arduous and that he would cheat at gamble, which learns while training with Cross Marian. [ 25 ] As the plot progressed, Hoshino inactive found difficulties in writing him because he is suffering while remaining cheerful. chapter 222 proved more challenge for Hoshino because Allen ‘s liveliness was becoming difficult. During these moments, Allen ‘s thinker starts being erased from his body because he is being possessed by the Noah Nea D. Campbell. In an inside global, Allen feels he wishes to be erased and freed of annoyance while interacting with an magic trick of Cross Marian. He remembers his belief and smiles at Cross ‘ illusion despite crying at the same time. [ 10 ] similar to other characters, Allen ‘s beliefs and appearance suggest Christianity. While his first weaponry is simply named “ Cross ”, Allen ‘s dress from the Black Order include Rose Cross, which symbolizes the teachings of a western esoteric tradition formed within the christian tenets, albeit a Christianity not yet conspicuously in evidence. Hoshino ‘s illustration involving Allen often have threads related covered with threads as she aims to show the fact that he is not only related to the fact that he is constantly associated with God vitamin a well as the fact that he is bound to exorcise Akumas. [ 26 ] [ 27 ] however, when the Crowned Clown appears as Allen ‘s modern weaporny, the Earl compares him to White Clown that is meant to chase Auguste Clown, two clown archetypes common in plays with the Allen being the early act as the true to the Earl ‘s drollery one. [ ch. 90 ] Both Cross Marian and Bak believe that looking like a clown is a better portrayal of Allen ‘s Innocence preferably than his original sleeve. [ ch. 124 ] [ ch. 86 ]
