and let’s not forget how the Jasdevi song reflects so well on the Campbell twins as well!

Checking multiple translations because, as often with dgm, the translations are all over the place but

Long Long Ago/Once upon a time comes back as well, giving the impression of the time that passes.

There was one cradle: the Earl Body/Suit There was one inside the cradle: The Earl before he split The one became two/became a twin: The Earl splitting into Mana and Nea

Then only one cradle, the other, like a star lost in the fog: Mana, alone, now that Nea has “died”, was “lost” where no one could find him

Shaking in a graveyard until it disappeared/a star shining bright at the sacred place and disappear: Once again can echo the “death” of the “other twin”, disappearing because of death. Could be about Nea. Or could be about how Mana himself also came to disappear since he’s the one associated with a crooked grave in a graveyard, and having faded away into a “star” (Allen’s pentacle)

WITH the irony that if we consider that both twins "disappeared" to be inside of Allen, Allen ends up being the "merged body", just like this song ends up merging Jasdero and Devit together.

If Nea was always supposed to be the Odd One Out, it means that “The Bond” was a Noah memory that existed before the Mana/Nea situation happened. Yet this one song the Jasdevi sing to merge together is thematically fully about Mana/Nea.

And we don’t know how Jasdevi came to be: were they two humans before the Noah gene awoke? Were they one that split into two? Were they two brothers, or were they two strangers who started to bond over their memory?

Meanwhile we know for certain that their song fits Mana and Nea.

Food for thought!

Jasdero and Devit's bond more like whatever the hell Mana and Nea got going on tbh

Different personalities and bodies

Twins nonetheless

Both sets of twins end up as part of a single being when bonded together tho(Jasdevi and the Earl)

#obviously the actual reason is because Hoshino herself is a twin #and she mentioned in interviews also that they were supposed to be triplet but they absorbed the third one in the womb #and that it's basically why there's such a thematic of 'a secret being carrying on living inside of you'#for the Noah Twins i think it's the major reading to have in general #esp since she uses the term 'two pieces of the same whole' to refer to twins in interviews #for her it's two pieces of one individual who are also haunted by a third being neither twins can truly comprehend #this is a core element of how Hoshino sees and understands the world #so that's why she loves writing twins and that's why it's the thematic that comes back around twin #for her that's the normal way to write twins #BUT EITHER WAY i do think that it was probably a set up for the Mana/Nea situation to start with #especially since it's the arc we finally learns about Nea #anyway sorry i was obsessed with the Jasdevi twins when i was 14 i know their song by heart it always comes back to me #and funfact my 11th dgm volume is basically split opened on this scene #like if i open my 11th volume it will open on this scene bc the binding is falling apart there especially #out of wear and use of having came back to this scene so much #but i also found like 4 different translations of this scene to post this SO LIKE. BEAR WITH ME.#ichareply #ichafantalks dgm #metiredlr #d gray man #dgm #jasdevi #Jasdero #Devit #Nea D Campbell #Mana D Campbell #Millenium Earl
