Don't worry he'll definitely be coming back as he's a main character and it isn't fitting for a main character to die like that. Even though I like Gray, a permanent death could bring a lot of depth to the manga and push it further into that darker and edgier territory and bringing Gray back almost immediately would be extremely anticlimactic and stupid, especially if Ultear brought him back (too predictable). Considering the fact that the there is a time machine, I'm expecting more deaths which will culminate in a time travel arc after this arc is over and done with, to properly set right what went wrong and avert the deaths of the characters.
