And you're giving the other heroes too little credit when it comes to taking cues. Remember, when Ren saw Naofumi unveil the first Soul Eater he jumped right onto the second one without being prompted. The entire reason that Ren and Itsuki nearly got killed was because they didn't trust the Church after it was made blatantly clear that they were untrustworthy and they were the ones who called Myne out both times she screwed up in front of them, both in the duel and when she tried to kill her sister.

They might not notice something right off the bat, but if it gets pointed out they'll actually act on it.




Shadow, get your point out if you want to rather than being snide. I'm sure not holding my tongue here.

They aren't going to get along. They've got too many differing personalities and approaches, and Naofumi hates them for believing the lie they were told even though they didn't know better. He's been clear since day one he just wants to survive and go home, and you'd be naive to think trust is something that would be given out when the whole reason Raph still wears a slave seal is because he won't fully trust women without it.

What I'm saying is that people don't have to like one another to work together and come up with a plan. They've got a common, simple goal here: Kill the guy trying to kill them.

That means shelving the anger issues and lectures until after the pope is dead.
On what basis do you have that the other 3 heroes are going to act rationale (or wise up) on either during or after the battle? Sure, their lives are on the line, and can be killed if they're not careful, so it's fair to assume the other heroes will wise up and work together to make it out alive. However, there are also times that even if ones' life is in danger (or continues to be proven wrong), one would still continue their present behavior despite it not helping (and it doesn't help their case that they still kept that attitude even though they were in a life or death battle with the Soul Eater and/or Glass). So even if they'll get killed if they don't cooperate, are you sure that the other heroes are even rationale enough to comprehend that the situation they're in to drop their attitudes long enough to listen to each other (along with even if they do make it out, on what grounds do you have that the other heroes are going to even listen to the lectures that Naofumi is going to give them after the battle? What's stopping them from ignoring him again?
