then again, it could be a kind of "neji" thing like in naruto, where they kill off one of the most important, and best (imo) characters.
I wouldn't worry to much about Gray's fate right now, given Mashima's past moments of NOT letting a meber of Fairy Tail die despite the situation.
That was stupid, and was only needed to add some pointless drama...on top of the pointless drama we already had.
Why Gray? Kill off someone important.
honestly what i see is Ultear will atone for her sins by sacrificing herself to revive gray with her magic thats what i see happening
And to that I raise the question, how? A couple of people have mentioned that idea but there are a couple of things that wouldn't make sense.
1) Ultear is nowhere near Gray,I think, and probably doesn't know what just happened to him unless she can sense other peoples life force/magic.
2) She's currently dealing with one of the most regressive character developments since Kagura and though she is shaken up by her actions she isn't suicidal like everyone is pointing her out to be.
3) As of this point time magic still can't effect living beings, though the tenrou tree says otherwise, and unless the rules of this magic changed from 7 years ago it still shouldn't have that type of ability.
Now given the bs Erza pulled off a few chapters I wouldn't throw every possibility out the window but Hiro hasn't been making much sense since this arc started, so if by some chance ultear can pull a Chiyo...I'll accept it but I won't be happy with it by any means.
well u gotta remember ultear and gray have a bond kinda being close to Ul so im sure she will get involved with gray some how, he is the precious student of her mother she wouldn't wanna see him die
also next chapter is called "time of life" so that also brings hints
