Why is the birthday girl getting into this kind of debate? D:<

Also I tip my hat to you for the The Curious Case of Benjamin Button clip. Didn't expect someone to link that here.

Also minna, Sieghart and Jellal are two very different people, don't compare the two. Sieg had his senses and mindset intact throughout his life, his upbringing as a guardian of time made him into what he was before his fight with Haru. He himself realized the true nature of his people thanks to interacting with Haru and his friends. Jellal is different. The poor guy was brainwashed by Ultear and was given a twisted outlook from absolutely nothing. If Ultear hadn't happened, then Jellal would now be a bright, cheerful guy with a strong sense of justice.

Both had a twisted outlook from the start but Sieg chose to do what he did, Jellal did not. All Jellal wanted to do was free the captives and escape.
