Chapter 168 (SPOILERS)

So I came home, checked for D.Gray-man updates, and... WHAT THE HELL...?!

I am tired so my English is horrible... Please bear with me...
- During Cross and Allen's conversation, Cross claimed that this war had a hidden side to it. Cross also said, "This time, don't die"
- Hitler (I have no idea how to spell his name) was still wary of Allen
- Link was part of the Crow group
- Lavi asked Bookman about "the hidden side of the war", and a nervous Bookman told Lavi to never speak of that again until Bookman allowed him to
- Cross was sitting in his room when someone knocked on the door. Cross took his gun out... and then there was a sound of the door opening
- Scene changed to Allen waking up and saying "It's morning..."
- Scene switched back to Cross... and Cross was killed.

Was Cross really dead? If so, who killed him, and why?

Based on Hoshino's track record, I am actually not too worried about Cross. Hoshino has never killed off any major characters in D.Gray-man, and Cross is just too mysterious and important (and cool) to be offed this early in the game. So let me quote what Allen once said, "Master won't die even if you kill him"

Speaking of Allen, poor kid... he just got the shock of his life in regards to his beloved father, and then he was told that he was going to die, and by the way, he was also going to kill someone he loved... and now the one person that he could rely on was out of the scene as well. Wonderful.

Oh Allen... Someone up there really hates you.

Doesn't mean we have to use it at the same time.

...well, whoever killed Cross wasn't after destroying his Innocence, looks like the gun down there is perfectly fine.

*Speechles again*

I didn't see this one coming. Yup, I think Cross wouldn't have died that easily.

That would suck if he really died. Though, a part of me kind of speculates it's something to do with Maria's powers etc...

but there is a body.

I can't believe he's dead. But he does look hella sexy. Go figure.

Granted you can argue that it could be a non-fatal, in that it didn't kill him instantly wound. If you consider that he was standing up when he got shot by the way the blood smears down towards him showing he slid into his currently position. Making it more like a mid to upper torso wound. Faint possibility it could have been a shoulder upper torso area close but not on the heart. Add the way he's bleeding it was a clean shot so it didn't get stuck in a bone or any on the way out. So possibly the main killer component is bleeding to death and shock.


That or I'm wishful thinking here since you can still see the back of his skull and any head shot would make that splatter messily on the exit.

There are still a lot of unanswered questions about Cross and his role in the entire thing. It may just be a ploy for him to get a) Allen motivated or b) to be able to move around without anyone spy on him.

Well, it's more like WHAT HAPPENED TO MAH CRACK BUCKET. I accidentally fell behind during the crack arc-ette and it's clearly SO not crack now. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do.
