Sup, everyone? I was reading the series again before making any changes, and this came up. There's the "Rewinding City" arc in D.Gray-Man. Like the name suggests, in said arc, anyone who is inside the city suffers a time rewind, going back to the previous day when the clock strikes midnight.

No one in the entire city is aware of said changes and there's even a barrier preventing any outside interference from entering - the only one who knows it is the (soon to be a time-user) person responsible for the changes, Miranda Lotto, but not even herself is aware of how it happens, she just knows she's stuck in the same day and keeps experiencing it time and again for an entire month.

Here's where the changes start: The exorcists Allen and Lenalee can enter the city like there's no barrier at all. While that could be seen as nothing because they're also Innocence users, that's just one part of the story. Later on, Road also goes through the barrier (she takes damage from the Innocence Time Barrier, but regenerates).

Now for the important part. When the day ends yet again and time gets rewinded as seen here up to 10:52 , Road is not only unaffected by the changes in the slightest, she also knows of said change as soon as it happened. Considering that and the fact that Road's power works with dimensions, should she get Temporal Awareness for the perception of changes in time and/or Temporal Protection to changes in the time stream?

I won't argue for Allen or Lenalee, as they haven't shown anything else which could suggest that sort of power. I linked the anime version because the manga One is pretty much the same, but I can post the scans as well if need be.

EDIT: Here are the scans. The time for the rewind arrives , then it happens here, here ,and here. Road is unaffected by the changes, as you can see here and already knows what the exorcists are up to.
 
I agree

Exorcists could walk in but not out and were immune to the time rewind because they carry innoncence

Humans are effected by the time rewind and could not walk in from outside.

Road could forcably walk in but was damanged due to the innocence based barrier. But was immune to the time's rewind even tho logically it should effect her since it is innoncence based. so she must have some type of temporal awarness
 
This seems solid to me, though actual manga links would be preferable.
 
This seems reasonable.
 
If it's accepted, I can edit them myself. They are pretty minor and will only affect Road, after all.
 
Yes. It seems fairly uncontroversial, so you can probably make the edit.
 
Okay. I will close this then.
