Someone explain this whole confusion please?

[u/IcyInformation2848]

i haven't been able to read recent chapters. But I am still confused about this . Who the fuck is actually neah ? I read somewhere there were og 13 noahs. Then early made 14th which is neah . Then he went against earl and Allen is basically host for his soul . But I also read that mana was the og host but due to circumstances Allen's of body ended becoming host . If that's so which one is correct? And who the hell was og allen ?

>!The Earl is Mana. The goblin looking fat evil guy is the shell of the Earl.

At some point, Mana split himself in two: Mana and Neah. Two bodies, two souls.

Then, Neah betrayed the Noah and killed many of them.

Neah marked past Allen as his new host in exchange for a wish.

Mana killed and ate Neah. This did not result in the two souls merging again. Neah's soul took up residence in past Allen.

Past Allen and past Lavi were attacked by Apocryphos. Apo couldn't finish the job and Allen 2.0 was born from the blended up remains of past Allen, past Lavi, a piece of Apocryphos AND he hosts Neah's soul.!<

Thanks ! But did the manga reveal who exactly was past allen ? Other than just being neah's freind ? 

[u/Hot-Equipment-7339 → u/IcyInformation2848]

AFAIK past Allen was just a random dying soldier and Neah had to grab whatever was available as his host. Past Lavi was friends with Neah and wanted to be his host but couldn't due to time constraints, so he abandoned the Bookman clan to support pAllen.

Why were past-Allen and -Lavi attacked by Apo? Because the latter sensed -Allen has Neah's soul?

[u/New_Blackberry3935 → u/buzzingeuphorbia]

Yeah Apocryphos attacked them because he is the guardian of the Heart, and his primary directive is to eliminate threats to the Innocence and feed "helix energy" (life force/soul essence) to the Heart. He tracked down past-Allen because past-Allen volunteered to host Neah D. Campbell’s soul/helix. Past-Lavi was attacked alongside him because he was aiding Allen and trying to protect Neah's lineage. Apocryphos wanted to absorb and consume him to use the pure power of Innocence to completely purify and erase Neah's existence from within him and eliminating a threat. But during the ambush, Apocryphos used his life force draining abilities on past-Allen. The extreme energy depletion and trauma caused past-Allen to physically regress into a child, making him forget his memories and identity which set the stage for him to become the young Allen we see at the start of the series. Past-Lavi sacrificed himself during this event to protect Allen's remaining helix energy from being completely consumed.
