Episode 79

Noah's Memory (ノアズ メモリー, Noazu Memorī) is the 23rd episode of the D.Gray-man anime adaptation.

Summary
Three years ago, a human Skinn Bolic visits a priest, who realizes that stigmata marks are appearing on his forehead. The priest takes him in, but when Skinn awakens as a Noah, the priest is killed. Skinn receives a visit from the Millennium Earl and Road, who tell him that he carries Noah's memory of anger, that has been engraved into his genes. Skin repeats how he will never forgive God for the true events that happened 7000 years ago.

Back in the present, Skinn awakens and begins to attack Kanda again. Kanda notes that Skinn is in no condition to fight, and that the only thing powering him is his hatred. Just as he fires a massive attack at the exit, Kanda tries to use a technique to absorb the shock so that the exit won't be destroyed. However, his sword is broken in the attack. Kanda manages to use his mugan technique to reconnect the innocence sword fragments. With this, he defeats Skinn, but is too weak to make it to the exit in time before it collapses.
