D.Gray-man Chapter 169 Discussion

I'm so glad to see Kanda with his new Mugen! It looks so much better than the old one, I drooled over that page for like five minutes *____*

hmmm, I'm almost starting to believe that it was suicide now, or perhaps faked suicide in order for him to escape.  But we better get more information on Cross, even if he really is dead or disappeared.  He can still affect the story without actually being there, I suppose.  I did like that Link seems to be part of the team now too.  Grrr... this is frustrating.  Hoshino-sensei started a really cool story arc, and now it's over uncompleted and a wierd new one is starting.  Maybe this innocence is related to the Heart somehow?



And Mugen's new shape is pretty cool.  More traditional, but at least it has a handguard now.  That always bugged me about he old one, he was gonna get his fingers cut off... but I digress.  New uniforms are cool, more formal.  I think the Vatican is getting more involved in everything, which I suppose could be interesting.

"And that was the last anyone heard of General Cross"



I didn't think the mangaka would pull another "And Bak came the next day and turned everyone back to normal"  but there it is.



This better not become a recurring theme, I don't want the ending to be "And then they defeated the Millenium Earl"

Yeah, it really disappointed me after reading that. The fact that Cross won't appear anymore in the manga (except maybe in flashbacks) completely shatters me.





the story isn't in the past tense so there is a chance of cross coming back. the last they here of anyone, doesn't mean they can't make a re-appearance. just that there is no idea as to what happened or where cross disappeared to.
