I find it ironic that Gray, at the time of his supposed death, was surrounded by people that had previously wanted him dead/ tried to kill him and those same people were eventually saved by him in someway. Did anyone else think the same.

Also, it would be really anticlimactic and predictable if Gray was brought back through an Ultear sacrifice, almost immediately after his death - it would lessen the blow and not feel as deep (and it would be stupid cos he might get shot up again and the war's still ongoing so other people could die as well). His death would add much needed depth to the story (even though I like him) and would bring it into darker and edgier territory. Inevitably, Gray, as a main character, will be brought back in the near future (in the off chance he isn't then WOW what a surprise) with the completion of this arc, following the deaths of many other characters. My guess is that the climax of this arc will lead to a time travel arc in order to prevent the tragedy/destruction/deaths etc. and set right what once went wrong (maybe Ultear will power up the Eclipse Gate, would ). What do you think?

Oh, and one more thing, about Chapter 335, "The Time of Life". Could this maybe be a callback to something Gray said to Racer in the Oracion Seis/ Nirvana arc, "Ice can even stop the time of life itself. So you'll never be able to catch up, for eternity. You'll always be stuck there, staring at the fairy tail." (taken straight from the wiki) Do you think this will be significant to Chapter 335 at all? Why and how?

Maybe Chapter 335 will be a flashback of all the most significant moments of Gray's life and it would be really trollish if it turned out that the events of Chapter 334 were excerpts from Future Lucy's diary. So...
