one of the rules of time travel.. not just super devils it includes sacred gears evolving into longinus. I wont be surprise that Saji's Vritra sacred gear evolve into a longinus.

I'm surprised it isn't a Longinus because Fafnir's SG is an artificial Longinus. Vritra is the weakest Dragon King, but still comparable to the others.

Could be due to the fact that Vritra was split up into several Sacred Gears.

But yeah, the paradox might change some things.

After the ones nominated Ingvild is the other devil with most potential to become a Super Devil.

There is Ex Gremory and I wouldn’t be surprised if he became a Super Devil having Galatine III, PoD and an artificial Boosted Gear, trained by Kiba and Vali.

Especially because is called the God Slayer of the Scarlett Blade and the ace of all the mythologies combined.

His isn’t simply because they are still separate sg. We’ve seen them resonating more since Vritra awoke. Once they truly fuse together then they might be in the realm of the Longinus.

Nah, Ishi said SD 4 would be his next release. It was supposed to be released this March, but it seems like it was removed from the website sometime ago. Possibly, the release was postponed again.

Entirely possible that Shin DxD 5 could still be next year depending on when Slash Dog is released. But hopefully later this year.

[zarmag]

i pray for his health to get better... i don't want him ended up dead like the authors of Zero no Tsukaima and Kaze no Stigma.

[Xuanwu]

OK, I just saw someone on Twitter post earlier this month that SD 4 is meant to be released on March 17th (tomorrow).

I checked Ishi's blog and he hasn't posted since the Yen Press release of Vol 8 last year. He's always active on Twitter though.

The post that was removed from the website showed SD 4's release date for 2025. Probably that's why it was removed. Confusing, but we'll know for sure by tomorrow.

now news about Shin DXD 5.

[zarmag]

Issei met some gods but he didn't get to meet Aphrodite or other love goddesses

Meh, I don't think we're getting it until next year at this point. SD 4 was postponed again. Best chance is if Ishi has written most of Shin DxD 5 already.

Yeah, I think Ishi should introduce Aphrodite, maybe when Issei meets Eros. He added a bunch of Greek gods/goddesses to his blog after Shin DxD 4, so it's a possibility.

Edit (from Ishi's blog):

Gods said to be based in
Olympus Greece.
・Main God Zeus

→ Apollo・Gods

・Poseidon

*　Appeared
in the September 2011 short story of Dragon Magazine

・Hestia ・Aphrodite ・Hephaestus

・Tartarus

・Erebos

・Nyx

So Hestia and Aphrodite might still appear.

[zarmag]

are there summaries for Dragon magazine... i can imagine Issei's interaction with Aphrodite

[bluestahli1]

I so want Aphrodite to appear in the series and get illustrated, she doesn't have to be a major character nor join his harem, I just want to see the illustrator to draw her in the author's imagining of her.

[cyberdemon]

Isseis chastity would be at risk if he met her lol. She was known to have many lovers as ancient Greek gods were known to do.

Maybe Shooting Star's devil ancestry might be Asmodeus one of the four great satans plus the unique trait of the clan is Starsend Moment especially the word 'star' it cant be a coincidence.

Bit of a long shot, but his ancestry could be anything so this doesn't sound too outlandish. He also seems to have freakish natural talent as well.

[zarmag]

we all know Gasper and Millicus will become super devils in the future but due to the paradox of time travel they're might be more candidates so far this are the list that i'm only speculating:

Sairaorg Bael - still in a middle mastering his longinus Regulus Nemea. It might be interesting if he got a similar to Vali's Diabolos Dragon by linking their dormant power together into one.
Ingvild Leviathan - she got the talent and high-class longinus that can destroy the world.

I still personally think DxD forms are only available thanks to Ophis. Ophis granted both Ise & Vali the ability to transcend their Longinus limit. Vali himself never said he attained DxD with his hardwork or talents, he just told Ise he received blessings from Ophis too. And we already know Ophis' blessings can help improve or upgrade a person's stats.

For Iseei is the case because his DxD form is based on Ophis’infinity power, but not for Vali. The blessing helped him to awaken his Lucifer’s power, something he always had but didn’t know.
