  D.Gray-Man Anime Summary

D. Gray-Man is set during a fictional 19th century Europe and is about a group of exorcists known as The Black Order that are connected to the Vatican. The story follows a boy named Allen Walker, who is a member of this group of exorcists. These exorcists are able to manipulate a divine substance called Innocence which is can be controlled as a weapon by a compatible person. There are only 109 pieces of Innocence in existence, all of which are scattered around the world. The purpose of Innocence is to fight The Millennium Earl's Akuma minions. The Millennium Earl is an evil ghoul which plans to cleanse the world by destroying every last human.

The Earl creates Akuma by appearing before someone who has lost a loved one and promising to bring the dead back to life. If that person calls out to their deceased loved one, the soul will be beckoned and unknowingly trapped inside the Akumas' skeleton. The Earl then commands the Akuma skeleton to kill the mourner and take their form to live unnoticed among the other humans.   

As the story processes more Black Order exorcists and support characters are introduced. Among them are Yu Kanda, Lavi(also translated to Rabi), Arystar Krory, Miranda Lotto, Lenalee Lee and Lenelee's older bother, Komui Lee, who is the supervisor of the Vatican's science department, Bookman, a mysterious scholar within the church and mentor of Lavi, as well as Cross Marian, a General in the Black Order and Allen's old Master.

As the story precedes smarter and stronger Akuma appear as well as The Clan of Noah. The Clan of Noah is a group of Noah descendants gifted with extraordinary powers and have collaborated with The Earl.
