This chapter confirms my thoughts about Gray not being taken over by his powers or being evil. It doesn't matter if Ultear reversed the time or not, there was no sign of future Rogue disappearing when Gray died during GMG. Not to mention during the attack in GMG, Future Rogue made sure only his past self was to be spared.
Logically If future Rogue's main goal was to become the king of the world, then he should have made sure Gray also remained unharmed because in his timeline he was still alive and without Gray there would be no evil Rogue thus his existence would completely vanish.
So it brings the question, how was he going to conquer the world if his existence would've vanished once he killed everyone in GMG? lol fuck logic right?
Either Mashima fucked up the timelines by mistake or what Future Rogue said was just bullshit and he didn't see who actually killed frosch.
Frosche was actually still in danger of dying when the human sized dragon troops started attacking and Natsu even pointed that out to him need I remind you. If the dragons killed everyone in crocus Frosch would be among them. He was also going to corrupt normal rogue after sparing him. So the same effect would be achieved. In fact it would be killing two birds with one stone. Frosch and Gray would both die to the humanoid or the normal dragons. The timeline still fits.
Plus you don't seem to understand how timelines work. Everything that happens in GMG timeline only affect GMG timeline. The events in Future Rogue's timeline still happen no matter what happens in the current timeline. Therefore Future Rogue still exists no matter what. You seem to think there's only one timeline and that if the past is changed then that future does too. However there are parallel timelines and they intersect and run paralel in the same direction sometimes in different ways but the same outcome. Future Lucy's timeline didn't cease to exist. Future Lucy simply ceased to exist IN THE CURRENT timeline. Because the gate that made it happen was destroyed. She didn't go back to some grand happy end future. She literally crossed over to the other side where everyone else was still VERY much dead. What was saved was the future of the CURRENT timeline. Those other timelines with the bad end and Future Rogue turning STILL happen! That's why no one started vanishing until the medium that brought those elements from other timelines (AKA: the Eclipse Gate) WAS DESTROYED.
The only way to influence a timeline is to bring elements and knowledge from OTHER timelines into the one you wish to influence. If you don't, all the timelines flow in the exact same direction. Even now the current timeline is being influenced by Natsu however there was nothing done to stop Gray's role in killing Frosch until Natsu took Rogue's place.
Time chooses the path of least resistance.
I am going to laugh my ass off when my theories are proven correct.
