Absolute Anime

This will seem dumb but I've only kept up watching the D Gray Man series because I been waiting for General Cross to make his apperience... I just made it to ep. 51 where they said his ship sunk and nobody survived... AKA General Cross is dead... Now I want to know if General Cross is dead because if he is I'm just gonna stop watching D Gray Man but if he isn't dead I'll keep watching.

So please, is General Cross alive or dead?

Do we meet General Cross in present time instead of a flashback at all?

Well Good news is that General Cross is alive and he is somewhere where everyone doesnt know. lol
and yes he does come up in the future episodes. Some from flashbacks
and he will eventually appear as person.

doesn't cross get to fight off some noahs?...

anyway... i'm 30+ episodes behind since i stopped watching XD
