@Otaku, you do realize that without Zekram the Devils might have been gone as a species, remember he was the one who took charge to lead the Devils when the FGS were dead. Regardless of his ideology, he was and still is the one that lead the Devil society till today. Remember a leader needs to do the right thing, not the correct thing.

Even if it's traditional thinking, it has its worth and shouldn't just be discarded. Would you just discard your tradition because someone demanded you too? And from Zekram's POV, this is probably one of the things he left in inheritance to his descendants. Do you think anyone would wish for their descendants to just throw away something they left behind for them.

Also Zekram isn't arrogant, dumb or stupid, he understands and accepts the fact that the Devils have to change but at the same time, he doesn't want them to completely change their core values away. Pure-blood should be view in importance as it's the remains of their species.
