Still a band-aid though - fuller developments would be more appreciated. But in a weird way, its kinda one of DxD's charms(the way it chooses develop its large cast of characters that is), so I'm acceptant to a degree. My main concern is how his peerage members will be handled. The forming of it will play a big part in Issei's development as a high class devil, and considering that we are in the last arc and the large cast, I fear they may not be developed, or even completed within the series at all. Even more so if the future members of Rias's peerage take interest in Issei as well (Like all her female members so to eventually. That is excluding those that may already be in a relationship/have an implied pairing).

We really didn't know all that much about Heaven except when the Gremory group went to Heaven in Volume 18. We could have easily learned about that without her being in the story and I honestly feel that she played little part in us learning about Heaven. My problem with Irina id that she's just really an add-on character who feels like she has no specific purpose being in the story yet still is part of the main cast. She has no special abilities considering as an angel she only has basic angel abilities and nothing else. That puts her behind Deethelm, Nero, and Milana who were only recently introduced. She was never even a natural holy sword wielder like Xenovia and Xenovia receiving True Excalibur robbed her of the only holy sword she could wield. And then we got a lame excuse for her getting Hauteclere whose ability was only convenient for that one volume in purifying Yaegaki's soul. The main reason why I'm mad about that is because Ishibumi could have given her Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and called it a day. Irina feels like a string-along like most of the other girls in the harem but one with no unique abilities or with no specific purpose to why she's even in the story. |

Anyway the third angel I want in his harem is Griselda! I mean, it’s perfect! After nekomata-sisters and kyuubi-mother and daughter, what’s better than reincarnated angel-guardian and reincarnated devil-ward? |

About Irina, while I am in now way a fan of hers(I'm not one for the childhood friend troupe since it is, without doubt, the largest cause of cockblock in any romance novel/anime/manga), I think you guys are a bit harsh on current role in the story. While I could give an entire counter argument into why I think so, I agree that we should get back to the main topic here. Now, back to said topic, considering its name, and that it is said that all Longinus should have some consciousness within them, does that mean that Ingvild is technically the Greek member (to both peerage and harem) that many were wanting to join Issei?

In my opinion rias future servant are already there, at least two on three. I’m sure that Valerie and Tosca will be her new members. Valerie because as a healer is perfect and Tosca because she has no one but Kiba, i’m sure she will want to stay with him forever so she will join Rias and her SG is very powerful.

Similar could be said for Issei - if any of his other 10 pieces were to be used on Longinus bearers, I could see there being major political implications in the event he becomes a Maou. Even if he doesn't it would be considered as a constant 'threat' to other political factions (mostly the Great King Faction). ...Though for the sake of ExE, having a Longinus join either of their peerages would be beneficial.

We don’t know the level of her Longinus and the rules of the unused pieces could give Rias the chance to reincarnate her. Anyway if she will be, then it’s a Rook for sure, which would be for the best since she needs those traits desperately.

@Ka-el Yeah we don't know the level of her Longinus but Regulus Nemea is a Longinus with an unknown level and by itself without the wielder was reincarnated by Sairaorg using 7 of his Pawn pieces we have to factor in that Valerie is a Dhampir alongside her Longinus when it comes to reincarnating her.

I would say it would take at least 6 pawn pieces to reincarnate her into a devil. She's the daughter of the King of Tepes who I'm.sure is a powerful vampire (although we don't know exactly how powerful her vampiric abilities) and has a Longinus. |

The thing with Irina is she's the most normal out of all the girls in Issei's harem which makes her perfect role of childhood friend for Issei since he was also just a normal guy. She didn't come a famous background like Rias, Akeno, Ingvild and Ravel. She wasn't born with a sacred gear like Asia and she's not a unique species like Koneko, Kuroka and Rossweiss. She was just a regular human who came from a commoner family that grew up with Issei. Even among the church trio, she's the most normal as Asia was revered a holy priestess due to her healing and Xenovia was born as a rare natural sword wielder. (Not to mention the next wielder of Durandal no less).
