Yeah, he lost to Dulio by just two points. I wonder what kind of reviews he got for the match against Dulio's team. Dulio will have gotten good reviews for using Gabriel's body on him and distracting him, and Ise lost points for that, but aside from that it should be good.

By the way, do you remember what chapter it was where we got the explanation for why Ophis is in her loli form again?

Yeah, I know that it'll have new content instead of old side-stories (they're still side/short stories, just new ones rather than older ones, unlike how each of the DX Volumes so far had some that we'd already read before) and that the matches you mentioned will be in it. I'm looking forward to reading them, actually. It should be interesting to read the Ise vs. Sona match. I just hope Ise wins (and with good strategy if so, courtesy of Ravel and himself (he has to learn to come up with good tactics, too)) and gets good reviews for it.

DX4/23.5 is a side-story compilation, though, so it can't show Ise completing AxA or ExE. And yeah, he can't completely control his Dragonification yet, so that still has to wait.

Yeah, hopefully the year will be within DxD itself so we can see the completed DxD G. Hopefully there'll be no drawbacks this time. I also want to see the completed Cardinal Crimson Queen, though.

Will the form from the power within Great Red's flesh really be ExE? And then AxA will be the power beyond them that uses both Ophis' and Great Red's powers? I want to see the completed forms of both at some point. Maybe in a sequel if there's one about Ise.

Yeah, I wonder if the form shown in EX is AxA (if AxA is going to be from Great Red's flesh). Man, I can't wait to see completed DxD G. But it's up to Ophis and Lilith when and how it happens, so hopefully they'll resonate soon.

Didn't I already kind of express that? Or are you saying I have to do it explicitly?

But that being said, I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what form or forms he'll get from having both Ophis and Great Red in him. I mean, it was mentioned that he'll get some power that combines both of those powers, right? He has to awaken the power from Great Red's flesh first, though. First an incomplete form that's going to be in the tournament if Ajuka's prediction is correct (and it hopefully is), and then the completed form shown later which I'm guessing is the fully Dragonified form shown in EX. I really want to see him enter the completed form in this series, though. Maybe we'll see it in a sequel.

Sorry for being a hardass. i tend to ot consider possibilities when there is a lack of tangible evidence, which was the crux of my issue regarding the dxd g debacle. i ended up being wrong, i'll admit that, as i forgot the key rule of fiction; anything can happen so long as the author wills it. How this will work out for the story remains to be seen. Cheers!

i understand, and i apologize.

if someone spammed your PM box about a certain topic which was agreed to be up in the air, you probably wouldn't be willing see said convo take over the thread again either

Yeah, he has special Promotion, and it's stronger than the normal Promotion since Ddraig's power is added to it, but he himself isn't a good Knight or Bishop. So he won't be a good all-rounder as a Queen, either. I think he needs to fix that somehow.

But yeah, you got me about Crom tanking Dragon Slayers. So it'll be fine if Ise becomes a stronger Dragon. Got it.
