D.Gray-man Chapter 228 Discussion

                        ----------------------------------------

                        A short but sad and meaningful chapter. Friends and someone you can trust in is so important in this series...

A short but extremely important chapter, I would like Hoshino to do this more often. Although with the late releases and the fact that I almost forgot all the plot of the manga, strangely I miss this manga and having to wait several months to have a few pages is really tiring. But I'm still happy because with this chapter we finally have new elements for the scenario.

I guess Cross really is dead.

This chapter... playing with my feelings so bad...

Genral Cross.....Well, damn this was emotional chapter, quite satisfying even if it was pretty short....Bond between 14th and Cross along with Tim.....oh dear....Allen is going to be...well Idon't even have words for what he will be emotionally in next chapter.



I don't yet believe that Cross is dead just yet...heavily wounded maybe, but what happened to body. tough bullet trough the head...but it go trough what ever Cross has in his left side of the face....tough mortal wound, DAMMIT I WNAT TO KNOW IF HE IS REALLY DEAD OR NOT!







Not really a spoiler since it's happened in previous chapters but I'll hide it anyway---




He's been confirmed to be alive / 'sleeping' as seen when Road talks about connecting her dream world with Allen's in Chp. 222:  Fear not, the man wouldn't die that easily! If he did I'd never forgive Hoshino for it haha.



In other words though I really appreciated all the Cross content we got this chapter! Facing the reality of Tim's death is... painful to say the least. Can't really complain about the length since Hoshino's been sturggling with her illness a lot lately, so if anything I'm glad with the content we got.



(would like to see how Lavi's doing tho, it's been 6 years since he was actually seen in a chapter, not through a flashback but as in really being there. Geez.)

Guess that she prefers quality over quantity, short but it was good.



It was most of all a sad chapter, I really hope that Tincampy can be revived somehow because I really like him



3 months countdown being once again, sigh

I really hope that Cross hasn't died.

Allan walker finding out about Timcanpy's death genuinely got to me.



This is arguably the best shounen story ever written and illustrated.



D gray man as a story isn't just a shounen, it outclasses many seinen story's as well.



Easily top 5 manga.
