I didn’t care what happened to The Order. So during the mission in Paris… when I caught a glimpse of that guy’s Noah transformation I ignored it. Without even reporting it to Komui… I just let it be. But now… This regret simply won’t let me die peacefully.
Kanda’s tattoo is first and foremost a mark bore by the ‘second exorcists’ Alma also had the symbol.
As we see in chapter 199, the symbol is pretty much the core of the second exorcists’ It’s their heart, so to speak. When Alma self destructs, the core is the only thing that remains behind and the body start to form around it.
It’s safe to say that, yes, once the core is completely destroyed, the host, aka Kanda will die. However, as we have seen, it takes quite the beating for that to happen. Alma’s core was still able to partially bring him back even after everything that happened. And while it has been mentioned that Kanda’s tattoo is taking it’s tool on him, it still manages to completely heal him, so there’s still a while to go. Though we aren’t entirely sure how much more Kanda can handle.
So to answer your question, yes, the tattoo somewhat represents Kanda’s lifespan. ((’life force’ has the same meaning as ‘life span’ but it usually refers to living things like plants, animals, humans, whereas ‘life span’ can also refer to a fridge or a computer, and it means the time period that said object is functioning))
Kanda hasn’t really used Mugen with its illusions since it’s evolution, so we can’t know for sure. It might still affect him, but it might also not. We’ll have to wait and see.
