^ Arrogant jackass is the last thing I would call Mest. I agree that he really dumb, but you can't blame the guy for being overly cautious over a freaking war. It seems like main characters are the only ones who have the ability to make mistakes and be stupid. The conflict between Mest and the others was already set up because there was no way that there not going to be fight. Yes mest, who's only gotten his memory and mind together recently, is worse than some of the villains who are actually murderers. I am sorry but this continued salt toward this character is annoying. Its so obvious Mashima only brought him along to use as a punching bag and scapegoat to make Natsu look good. I mean where has he been all this time. Oh I know. Thrown away like garbage because served his purpose. You can't tell me that this wasn't out of character, because we've never seen this from this character before. Again this only my opinion.
