wouldn't Ichigo be a good fit for Crown Clown? what with the whole "protecting everyone they can", dead parents as motivators, inner Noah/hollow, overpowered yet conspicuously useless arsehole mentors (cross and urahara, I'm looking at you), constant antagonization of a broody guy with a katana, BIG SWORD!, weird hair colors, evolving weapons, weapons that are technically part of them, fighting evil creatures made of people's souls, escada equal Noahs, deity-like Big Bad, corrupt govt/organization, friend group, inspiration in human form, and more. do you agree with me?

please continue

For all of their fighting I think the Arcobaleno all care about each other. Skull has so little screen time, that he has a lot of potential. He's the Cloud Arcobaleno for a reason. He was 'Immortal' because his Cloud flames were so strong and so potent that even when incapacitated or not, they would heal his wounds by propagating the hell out of his natural healing and recovery. See, it all boils down to biology and how you heal. White blood cells fight off infection and sickness. In one fic, he got sick with tuberculosis and in a bid to help him, even without his consent, the flames sped up the process of the illness to the point it reached critical within three days and then it multiplied his white blood cells to the point the disease was beaten without any help from a doctor like Shamal. See the flames heal him without him having to do anything, simply by taking advantage of Propagation. Increase and replication, multiplication.

Anyway, Skull is still one hundred percent Cloud. That means when he's pissed, he's going to do attack. He'll do what Hibari does or he'll do his own thing but either way, once a Cloud is pissed off, they'll hunt you down and kill you. They're the Flame of freedom, they cannot be restrained or contained, or even captured. They loathe it with their very being, to be stuck in a place that has no hold for them. They need territory. Whether that be possessions, land or people(and no, since they represent freedom they would not be so callous as to restrain or try to hold back people they see as theirs.) And it's like Skull said. Everyone's an actor, or at least some form of one. And as a stuntman, you need to act, show the people what they WANT to see. That's likely what he's done with the Arcobaleno and others he's met. They expect a brash, loud, weak 'civilian' so Skuill gives them exactly that.

Okay, so I loved this chapter (just like with all of your work so far). I only have one suggestion right now for Iron Hammer. Sasuke Uchiha. I mean, he has special abilities with lightning and fire, and he is capable of all of the other nature transformation releases (wind, earth, and water). So...
I would suggest Itachi or Shisui, but Itachi didn't master lightning (I don't think), and Shisui was better known for his teleportation abilities.

HOW DID LUFFY DIE?! HES FUCKING RUBBER! NEED EXTRA TO EXPLAIN!

Loved this story and awesome chapter! Reborn being Marian's innocence, that fits so well, I feel stupid for not realizing that.

Just wondering, I know this stories are kinda snippets in the eyes of the reincarnated innocence (I'm also annoyed you can't pluralize innocence like you mention in earlier A/N) and their interactions with their weirder at times inbetween the canon timeline of d. grayman. So who is the song of Magdalena? Aizen or Emily or are you going to mention one or the other in separate side stories.

Sorry if that question doesn't really make sense. Also have fun in Europe! Please give your readers one chapter of any of your stories a month. Keep up the good work.

Judgement is reborn! that is prefect! I can see reborn acting like this in regards to his situation. I just realize that luffy would probably be okay with reborn and Crosses training methods on allen because they would remind him of his grandpa's. (poor Allen).

YES! reborn is judgement! thank you thank you thank you! I can't wait for the extra's with him and cross interacting with emily, allen, and luffy. this has officially made my day.

Wonderful new chapter. :) The combination of Reborn-Judgement-Marian is absolutely perfect. A character as morally ambiguous (or more on the dark side of things if you want to split hairs) is very fitting for Marian given the mess that Marian got into and the 'loyalty' he has to Neah. Reborn probably couldn't care less about all the noble reasons this Holy War claims. By the way, does Apocriphos also have an Innocence-ghost? Whoever would be stuck with that would be qiute a poor sod unless they are as psychotic as that thing. (On a different note - Yubel and Alma? What an incredibly promising pair if you decide on them. But then Judai would have to be around somewhere...he'd fit Mugen just from the lovers/tragedy side of things but Iron Hammer also because, well, occasionally morally ambiguous actions/attitude.)
Great work! I'm looking forward to more. :) Have fun writing!

I laugh since I now headcanon Reborn giving Marian hints on how to teach Allen, and Marian actually using the Reborn taught spartan training methods. (Also it makes sense since one of Judgement's abilities is pretty much Reborn's Chaos Shot)

Lol, Cross's age will always be a mystery

evil cliffy

If I may suggest something, Mifune from Soul Eater as Mugen. That or actual Mugen from Samurai Champloo. (Of course there are tons more candidates but those were some that stuck out for me.) Also maybe Seras Victoria from Helsing for Krory.

Oh, idea! So, I know Suman's innocence could sort of manipulate the wind and such, and I was thinking this could fit with one of the characters of Inuyasha? Either Miroku, Inuyasha (with wind scar, you know?), or Kagura, I think would be best. Probably Miroku, due to how Suman sort of "self-destructed" as a Fallen One (with the black hole going nuts and Miroku losing control?), or maybe Inuyasha's demon side could take over after his betrayal, or maybe Kagura could just act evil? I have no idea what you would want to do it as, but it was just a thought I had.
