High School DxD [LN/M] - Discussion about Other Topics

[jopjopjop]

For those who may not know, today (2/14) is Xenovia Quarta's birthday.

What present would you give to Xenovia? Try to best each other out!

[Tbolt]

Fur padded handcuffs for Ise.

[Rokumonsen]

One year supply of condoms would suffice, I guess

[aw454wtr]

Ise wrapped in red ribbons

[LowCholesterol]

A simple cooking recipe with aphrodisiac and viagra inside, to be eaten together with Issei

An interesting topic someone on reddit brought up a few days ago that I wanted to see what you guys thought of. What if the reason Kuoh Academy became co-ed was because Kiba joined?

It’s a co-Ed school right now, but since it was a girl’s school until a couple of years ago, there are more girls than boys.

Kiba being a second-year like Ise, and considering Rias and Sona basically run the school, it's an interesting explanation for what would otherwise be a generic harem event.

That sounds plausible, especially since Gasper and Saji ended up joining later. While Gasper may have been able to pass as a girl, in the case they wanted a male piece, it would be disadvantageous for them to go to a separate school due to gender.

Any chances of more gods from other religions appearing?

I really hope so, though it might not be in "Highschool" DxD if you catch my drift. Quite honestly, there's a lot of interesting religions with gods out there that could be used that haven't even been mentioned in the series.

Egyptians, American tribes (Aztecs, Mayans, Incans, etc.), Slavic gods (Pre-Christian Russia/Poland/Austria/etc.)

There's a lot that Ishibumi-sensei could use, but I doubt he will due to to them being not "main-stream" enough, which is a bit upsetting.

[Biohazardous]

What to give Xen... humm special seals that would take a few hours to crack to put on the room. That way by the time the others barge in she's already had her way with Ise.

Well, some ARE being used. Just look at the Dragons and the mythologies they represent, some of which are actually expanded on im DxD

Evil Dragons:
Grendel - Germanic legend; includes Beowulf and his descendants
Azi Dahaka- Zoroastrianism; includes Indra
Ladon - Greek mythology; includes the Olympian pantheon, many monsters amd heros, etc.
Crom Cruach - Celtic mythology; includes Lugh (one of the DxD Top 10) and Balor
Apophis - Egyptian mythology; includes Atum who's in the Top 10
Yamata-no-Orochi - Shinto legend; includes Koneko, Yasaka, Kunou, and many other youkai as well as Kusanagi
Nidhogg - Norse mythology; includes everything pertaining to Yggdrasil, the Aesir, etc.

Dragon Kings:
Tiamat - Mesopotamian religion
Fafnir and Midgardsormr - Norse mythology; same as Nidhogg
Yu Long - Chinese legend; includes Sun Wukong
Vritra - Vedic myth/Hinduism; includes Indra, the Trimurti
Tannin - Jewish legend; as the predecessor to Christianity includes many characters and concepts feom the Three Factions some of the most notable being Azazel and Lilith.

Heavenly Dragons
Ddraig and Albion - Welsh Myth; as Welsh myth was the origin of Arthurian legend before being integrated into English legend it includes thw Excalibur and those relating to King Arthur

True Dragon and Dragon God
Ophis - Many mythologies and legends; as Ophis is the Ouroboros, "she" is part of many mythologies from where you can see her symbol of a snake or dragon holding it's tail in it's mouth in a circle or infinity symbol. This includes a wide variety including Greek, Aztec, Mayan,and Egyptian mythologies.

Great Red - Christianity - He's the Apocalypse Dragon who fought the Beast in revelations and is thus related intricately with the three factions even if he doesn't particularly care about them.

You think DxD will get some anime spinoff.

I'd be happy just for having more regular DxD anime to go beyond the third season.

This totally this. I want to see all of it animated.

Well hopefully that'll be the case. After all, the moment an anime gets a third season, its chances of getting another season tend to grow exponentially as long as there's more original content. If we're lucky, DxD may be the newest member of the longrunner anime as Bleach and Naruto are essentially over.

[Biohazardous]

It certainly has the potential. I think most of us agree that it gets better as more novels come out. With that as long as they don't try and change things or rush them it could run until the Author completes the series. Then do a spin-off. Depending on ending they probably could have several options for a spin-off.

[kikix]

They could easily make a spin-off that's in a far future where the alliance is set in stone and there are world-wide rating game championships between the various factions of the world. Just focus on the rating game and the collection of a team of fighters for a new star, with Issei and the team being merely VIP's that give sporadical hints or commentary.

A very general state of the world years forward is probably something the author already have in mind and could share. Though...it would be kind of like a spoiler...

[Biohazardous]

Not sure how they can do it currently Kikix. I have ideas of what I'd love to see in the future for DxD. A spin-off to me would be something at completion or close to it. I kinda would love to hear other spin off ideas.

It really looks like it could go that way. IMO, the defining point would be at the end of season 5/volume 12. Assuming Ishibumi's nearing the climax of the Shiva arc, a slightly-modified (maybe removing mentions of a third Super Devil and the magician's contracts) v12 is the perfect place to end the anime. If another season is announced after that, they pretty much intend to animate the entire series...and Ishibumi might have to write a sequel to DxD after all

As for a spinoff, I'd love to see SLASHDOG animated More background story would be awesome. I also love kikix's idea.

[n0m@n]

Hmm.
It seems like Ishibumi's mother died.
He posted on his blog and mentions the death of his dad (which was also mentioned in v1), brother, and pet cats&dogs which all happened the last 7 years.
He sounded really depressed. Hope he won't do anything rash.
