Yeah, Silver's actions made zero sense, which is something weird considering Mashima usually handles foreshadowing and alike pretty well. In one of the volume afterwords, Mashima stated that he had planned Silver vs. Gray from the very moment he created Silver, so is all of this really the intended plot? Or were there some last second changes?
