VOLUME 23 PREVIEW

Quote:

“Yes. This is the power of healing. This is a wonderful gift God bestowed to me.”

She was smiling but she looked somewhat sad.

Yes, this was how Asia and myself met――

High school　D×D 23

I…I want to aim to become the club president which suits me. ――Asia Argento

How do you do. I am Rudiger Rosenkreutz. ――7th Ranker of Rating Game: Rudiger Rosenkreutz

That man is a reincarnated Devil who was formerly a human. He was a legendary player and one of the person Hyoudou Issei was aiming for.

We need to defeat this team led by Dulio-sama which is formed by strong reincarnated Angels. …This will be a big obstacle for our team. ――Ravel Phenex

The first obstacle for this tournament awaits Ise’s team.

Oh, so Xenovia-paisen and others will become my friends!? I’m so hyped! ――Team Rias’s mysterious swordswoman, Lint Selzen

A new member is about to join the girls group that are from Church.

The reincarnated Angels of Joker Dulio’s team are all top-tier fighters of the Church. ――Xenovia Qualta

A fight against her former comrades is about to begin for Xenovia.

I will have to work even harder on my job as a Devil under Ise-kun. ――Rossweisse

It’s only for a limited time, but finally the Devil’s job starts for Hyodou Issei’s servants.

Hahaha, the identity of Mister Black is excellent. Now, this is what I’m talking about. ――Vali Lucifer

Ise is shocked and Vali is in joy at Rias Gremory team’s mysterious ‘Pawn’.

If you join my team then the tournament-focused team will be complete. ――Rias Gremory

The new team member who was welcomed by Rias Gremory is――

…My husband…please allow me to offer you a service. ――Himejima Akeno

Is there anyone…who can stop the woman who has become engaged with Hyoudo Issei?

Ddraig, prepare yourself. ――Chaos Karma Tiamat

T-Tiamat! Wait, let me explain myself! ――Two Heavenly Dragons Sekiryuutei Ddraig

The last and the strongest Dragon King gets in contact with Sekiryuutei.

Nariki Ouryuu, heading out! ――The heir of Nakiri clan: Nakiri Ouryuu

I shall become Sekiryuutei’s fang! No matter who it is, I shall take down anyone in our path! ―― The retainer of “Sekiryuutei of the Blazing Truth”, Bova Tannin

Dragons with powers gathers under Sekiryuutei.

…I want to participate in this tournament no matter what. ――Elmenhilde Karnstein

She tries to hide her true intention, but…

S-So this is the anti-Ise-kun D-Dulio-san and his team prepared!! ――Kiba Yuuto

Hyoudou Issei ――cannot escape from it.

I chose to fight alongside Darling, Asia-san, and Xenovia. That’s why I can even fight against my comrades! ――Shidou Irina

For that reason they also didn’t hesitate against Irina. A respect to their comrade――.

…This is just the worst. ――Toujou Koneko

Wrong, this is the best.

How about I take a look into your Evil Piece since it has been awhile. ――Maou Ajuka Beelzebub

Hyoudou Issei who had Dragongodified has had his Evil Pieces reached another――

I merely need to judge his quality as a [King]. ――Bina Lessthan

There is something she needs to fulfill.

New “Brave Saints” descends front of Hyoudou Issei’s team—!!

Let’s have a good match where both team gives their all. ――Raphael’s A, Deethelm Waldseemüller

Even if they may be a fellow comrade of the anti-terrorist team they will become a rival Ise needs to defeat during the game――。

Here I come, Xenovia! We will continue off with our battle which we couldn’t settle during our time as a warrior! ――Uriel’s A, Nero Raimondi

Hot-blooded boy priest challenges Xenovia.

…I will even go far to expose my breast in order to stop Sekiryuutei for the sake of Heaven. ――Gabriel’s A, Mirana Shatarova

The entrance of the new big-breasted pretty sister is exposing the position of Asia who had the original position of a sister in danger!

Hyoudou Issei has an ambition. He has a dream.

His members also an ambition of their own.

And Dulio Gesualdo also has his own dream.

The Angels aligning with Dulio also has a dream.

Here I come, Dulio! Even if we may be comrades that is different during the fight of this game! ――“Sekiryuutei of the Blazing Truth” Hyoudou Issei

Yeah, that’s the spirit! Let’s have an all-out battle among fellow Ｄ×Ｄ members where we put our dreams on the line! ― “Joker of Heaven” Dulio Gesualdo

There are battles you need to accept for being their comrade――

Hey, Issei. Have you ever had a ‘fun’ battle? ――The former Governor of Grigori, Azazel

When Sensei asked as such, I didn’t know how to answer.

But with Dulio and with my rivals, I may find that answer――

This is a single page of the younger generations youth.

High School Ｄ×Ｄ２３

Coming out on March 18th!

I may fight both of you one day. ――New Chief-God of Olympus, Apollo

Yo, brother(Vali), and Sekiryuutei. How about we have a good match if we face each other? ――New Chief-God of Asgard, Vidar

The ones awaiting in the path of Hyoudou Issei and others are ――inevitable myths like battles against Gods.

What a preview...seems this volume will be nice in the Azrarel Cup Saga..

This is gonna be Epic!

Looks like Ddraig and Tiamat may had a 'thing' in the past like I always thought lol.
Fuck yes to new girls that ARENT Devils! Ishibumi did mention about new harem girls lol.
And the new Chief God of Asgard and new Chief God of Olympus. Wonder how strong they are (since their name arent as major as Zeus or Odin)

Thanks for this, Noman.

This:

Quote:

T-Tiamat! Wait, let me explain myself! ――Two Heavenly Dragons Sekiryuutei Ddraig

The last and the strongest Dragon King gets in contact with Sekiryuutei.

So will we finally know why Tiamat hates Ddraig? I sure hope so, at least.

And this:

Quote:

…My husband…please allow me to offer you a service. ――Himejima Akeno

Is there anyone…who can stop the woman who has become engaged with Hyoudo Issei?

:heh: Yeah, is there anyone who can stop her? Step up your game, Rias, you're supposed to be the number one wife.

But, hm, a service. Ise will be happy (even if he can't do anything because of that "not until he's grabbed peace with his own hands" restriction).

And this is something I find to be really interesting:

Quote:

Hyoudou Issei who had become a Dragongodified has had his Evil Pieces reached another――

I wanted to see this happen and now it's finally here. Interesting. I can't wait, as it seems like something else may have happened to Ise's Pieces from this quote.

Edit: Wow, the OP was the only post here when I started typing this. Anyway, reply time.

@Noman: Yeah, hopefully we really these girls join the harem without becoming Devils. Especially Gabriel's Ace. But like we were saying in the Volume 22 thread, if she exposes her breasts, won't Ise be in trouble?

Looks like Ria's tournament is about to be filled out. Also looks like Ise will be close to filling out his tournament team depending on how many pawn pieces are used

And Ouryuu joining Issei side must be a way to get closer to him.

Is Ouryuu Nakiri joining his team? He's only mentioned with a quote and the next quote immediately after that is Bova's.

I kind of figured Nakiri would join after we found out he was a fan of Ise. Also when Xenovia said he was really strong

Just because of that? Now I'm even more dubious.

I mean it seems kind of obvious that he would join the tournament team, but everyone see things different. So to each their own

And his mission is to find the missing Longinuses.

Umm maybe he would slowly Mutated to True King? he will need it....

That is the test fire to Issei..if he can survive a full frontal assault of Oppai and not lost his mind...

And so the son of Zeus appears.

I've been waiting years for this :heh:

Getting meta just in the quotes, impressive, Ishibumi.

Is this supposed to be a pun because of Norse Vali?

It's Vali's foster brother.

I think because Odin adopted Vali

Oh, forgot about that. Makes sense.
