Agreed. I'm not sure what you're trying to say otherwise. Are you responding to me or chaos?

Though of course, I understand the need of such eps every once in a while but the skipping around was easily noticeable for a non-LN reader like myself too and not in a good way. Everyone became stronger and is showing it...a bit abrupt but okay, can deal with that. What's totally not okay is Akeno's quick self-acceptance - like wth? One of the most popular characters can't be treated like that. Address her issues properly DxD!

Didn't she first joing lightning and thunder together in the rating game with Sitri after Ise went down?

That was 2 volumes before she accepted and got her issues resolved.

Um, guys? Spoiler tags, lest you guys want your asses banned.

Spoiler for Response to Sim:

Yea I think she got pissed and nuked them using her powers.

Damn, why'd you post that!? Now I fell into temptation and did this:

Spoiler:

Although since we're talking about DxD, they'd actually be happy.

Joking aside, why do I feel out of place as the only person who actually liked the episode. Of course, maybe I should have put 9/10 on the poll due to QUALITY, but that'll get fixed later. I'm especially looking at the other LN fans since we knew that it was going to be like this for around a month before the air date. Just learn to like things as they are without the tinted glasses.

Well other than before mentioned QUALITY, I didn't have any problems with the episode so for the LN guys that are complaining, please stop. Unless it's actual criticism of the episode and not biased They Changed It Now It Sucks.

I can't wait for this Saturday!

I'm not too sure Kiba would be happy to be pregnant, actually. :V

He'd be delighted. He's Ise's first male haremette after all.
Thanks btw, that's what I needed to read before going to sleep.

[Chaos-Zero]

I don't get it. Is Rias mad at Isssei or something? If so,then he could be in trouble.

Not yet. I could watch the episode right now. But I've decided to wait until all of the episodes of the third season came out.

You're not doing yourself any favors by visiting the episode threads then, but to answer your question, no, they're not getting pissed off at Issei in those images.

Really? Oh thank you. Now I will proceed to watch the third season of High School DxD. Even if all the episodes didn't come out yet.

Dragon in your pic those are tears of joy.

Before I go with the downside aspects I perceived in this episode, let me tell you the positive points.

The action was top notch, and characters delivered some tense, drama points. It is way better than what S2 offered and delivered.

Koneko faces forward, and Akeno has to inspire herself in order to carry on regardless of her family past with Baraqiel.

Sona wants to make sure that peace reigns all over Makai and allowing low-level demons to participate at future rating games.

Irina, though an angel now, retains and keeps her friendship and goodwill towards Xenovia.


Now, discussing the downside of this episode, I believe that Isseis's supposedly death was overacted. Honestly, I cannot fathom or think he'll be going down that easily by a mere monster or an underling. The possibility manifests that the writers needed to pull out a dramatic punch in order to force Rias letting out all of her wrath and placed on the spotlight, and Issei getting hurt in such a life-threatening context pushed the require buttons for her going apocalyptic mode.
