Not sure where else to ask this, but I'm super confused about some of the continuity in D. Gray Man and thought you might be able to anwer the question. So 35 years before the show, The Millenium Earl split himself into 2 people, Nea and Mana, and dissapeared for the only time in 7,000 years. Later on in the show, Nea, the 14th apostle, tried to kill the entire family, and take control as the head of the Noah family. He was finally killed by Road and the Earl, and then the Earl absorbed him again, which is what send Mana insane. My question is how did the Earl possibly kill him when the Earl wasn't alive then. He dissapeared when he split himself into Nea/Mana, so how was the Earl possibly alive to stop Nea and kill him?
