Oh, why did I think they represented strength than.....

If it represents rank, than what would Irina's rank be now that she has four wings?

Direwolf18 · 2015-03-18, 15:05

Slightly less lower angel?

There is a correlation to strength of course. The fact that she got stronger led to a rank up. But the fact that only when her promotion became official that they started appearing Is telling.

Now the question is about fallen angels and why Akeno has 3 sets of wing, do they do the same ranking system.

very likely no but nothing has been confirmed. Plus Akeno probably doesnt care half as much about being a fallen angel as Irina does being an angel.

Maybe it's like Karate, Judo, and the like. While someone may have the "skill" to be a black belt, until said individual takes the appropriate tests they remain at a lower ranked belt.

Kinda like Ise and Kiba.

@Biohazardous That's not really a fair comparison.

Where Issie/Kiba/Akeno are concerned. While they have the skill/power to be high-class devils, they don't have the maturity/experience to deal with the social implications that go with being a high-class devil.

With karate or judo, that really isn't the case. As a 13 year old could theoretically hold a black belt in karate yet not have to deal with the complications of high society like a high-class devil such as Rias, Ravel or Sona.

What he's trying to say is whether you're the most powerful Devil, you will still be a low-class Devil unless you get promoted.

The same with the sports mentioned, you can be already a black-belt caliber, but unless you get promoted, you won't be recognized as such.

Thank you Jop that's the point I was trying to make.

I also don't think anyone will ever consider Ise having the proper maturity for high class much less ultimate class devil. Yet he will at some point get those roles. Kiba I'm sure he can meet the requirements in maturity though. Ise will be the main one to change how the elders and others view things.

I doubt that, Ise has become really mature the past 2 volumes. Yes, the past 2 untranslated and half-untranslated volumes.

S.Freedom · 2015-03-19, 10:29

Eh it's something of an apples and oranges thing in my view.

Because there are other factors that go into a promotion to high/ultimate-class devil than skill/power that really aren't there for a higher ranked belt in martial arts.

But since we really don't know what it takes to get a promotion in the angel's system, we're just speculating based on other similar systems.

Maturing yes though I doubt he would be a "proper" high-class or ultimate-class devil.

Ishibumi officially took a break from writting DxD for sometime to recover from his loss and for his health.
This month's DM has a short-story apparently, but Im guessing he won't be writing short stories for a while (and also SLASH DOG).
The only confirmed volume to be released this year so far is the DX2 which is planned to be released on December. Since there are many short stories which has yet to be compiled into a volume, he should use this ocassion to take a break from writing to recover.

Tbolt · 2015-03-19, 19:19

Thanks for the update n0m@n.

Poor guy Ive lost a few people too so I know how he must feel I wish him the best of luck and hopes he gets better.

WingsoftheDragonix · 2015-03-20, 02:32

Can't blame him.

He need to worry of his health first and foremost, the fans can wait.

Anyway, thanks for the update n0m@n.

Biohazardous · 2015-03-20, 08:02

Thank you n0m for the update. I hope he will be ok and wish him well. Does he have any other family left to help him through or just friends and fans?

Weather · 2015-03-20, 12:23

Thans n0m for the info.

My condolences and best Wishes to Ishibumi, hope he gets better.
