Summary
D.Gray-Man is a serialized manga and anime created by Katsura Hoshino that has been published in Weekly Shonen Jump and Jump Square Rise. In a world full of sorrow, the enigmatic leader of the so-called Noah Clan, the Millennium Earl, grants second chances to the recently departed at the behest of their loved ones - with the caveat of turning them into a rampaging Akuma monster as a side effect.
Allen Walker is an exorcist with the Black Order, a subset of the Vatican charged with using the substance sent by God himself, Innocence, to purify the Akuma's souls and defeat the Noah Clan. Cursed by an Akuma of his own creation to bear a cursed eye able to see the disguised undead, Walker purifies the hapless souls of the Akuma and fights the Noah...while learning more about who he is along the way.
Currently, credit for the vast majority of technique descriptions belongs to the D.Gray-Man Wiki.
Power of the Verse
D.Gray-Man starts off modestly powerful, with many characters being Small Town level. As the series progresses, though, the verse gains more powerful feats, including a Large Town level and a Mountain level supporting feat along with, more importantly, a Small Country level feat, placing these same characters at Small Country level in later keys. Some Country level characters exist as well, and Allen Walker and The Millennium Earl are likely Planet level.
In terms of speed, the characters are decently fast. Most characters are High Hypersonic and later become Massively Hypersonic as the series progresses. In terms of lifting strength, the verse is fairly unimpressive at the start, mainly consisting of Class 50 characters, but they later become much stronger, being Class T.
D.Gray-Man, though, is incredibly potent in its hax abilities. Many characters' Innocence abilities provide them with powerful tools such as Deconstruction, passive Causality Manipulation and Space-Time Negation, and many others that add another layer of formidability to this verse.
Calculations
Attack Potency
- Allen and Kanda Make a Crater: Low 7-C (2.9 Kilotons)
- Surman Creates an Explosion: High 7-C (102.96 Kilotons)
- Lavi Splits Clouds: 7-A (130.54 Megatons)
- The Millennium Earl Levels Edo Japan: Low 6-B (1.7 Teratons)
- Average Planet Destruction: 5-B (59.44 Zettatons)
Speed
- Allen Stops Point-Blank Bullets: High Hypersonic (Mach 33.72)
- Lenalee Blitzes Lightning: Massively Hypersonic+ (Mach 6481.04)
Lifting Strength
- Lala Lifts a Stone Pillar: Class 50 (45140.01 kg)
- Allen Lifts Surman's Fallen Form: Class T (1.187470933253e+12 kg)
Notes
- The Low 7-C characters like Introduction Arc Allen Walker are scaled 1/2 as strong as his and Kanda's Calc (1.45 Kilotons).
- The Low 6-B+ characters like Cross Marian with Sin Annihilation Level are scaled 3x stronger than the Millennium Earl's casual feat (5.1 Teratons).
- The 6-B characters like The Millennium Earl are upscaled far higher than Cross's Sin Multiplier (7 Teratons).
- The Massively Hypersonic characters like Noah's Ark Arc Allen Walker scale to an accepted but lost off-site calc. For now, please assume they scale at least to baseline Massively Hypersonic (Mach 100). Also, the speed of many characters is outdated in general, and until this is fixed, please only make speed equalized matches with D.Gray-Man characters.
