Ise will win,because he needs to reach the semifinal to be a candidate for a maou position.

Rias will win because I'm always right.

[Bleach1996]

nothing against rias but it would be weird that she win its issei arc and his grown as a king , but you make me doubt right now XD

[cyberdemon]

The story needs Issei to win. He needs that wish to prevent Tiamat from nuking his ass lol. There’s no reason for Rias to win.No reason the plot should have her continue.

Nah even if Ise loses all he has to do is materialise Ddraig for Tiamat. Whether or not he loses is a different thing.

[Parry999]

Aunty Tiamat treasure is just a gag. I don't know why that gets brought up it's not like someone slapped Asia again.

[Emperor of D.]

At point Strada and Crom have nothing left to offer after volume 2. We've already seen Strada in his prime in action in volume 24 and got his rematch against Arthur and now he has his closer with fighting Xenovia. Crom did what he wanted in the tournament which is fight both Issei and Vali. Now he has a chance to fight Ddraig so I see no reason for Crom having any significance after this game.

Rias road in the tournament ends after her game against Issei. No point is facing Diehauser without her actual peerage.

[godz]

there are two possible paths that dxd can take in this volume, the predictable and the unpredictable

the predictable is that issei wins and faces the final against vali (if the tournament is not canceled by hades attack or secret final villain)

The unpredictable is that Rias wins.

[B214]

It's either 3 options. Ise wins, Ise loses or it ends in a draw.

[vietthai96]

i want Issei to lose, because it is a right way for him to grow

[Parry999]

He already lost to Dulio whose let's be honest a better King then poor Rias.

How is Dulio a better king than Rias?

[TheWu8128]

Well I have stated who I believe is going to win in every first round match, can't wait to see how much I got right and if my theory was correct.

Someone doesn't know what 'unpredictable' means. Unpredictable implies It's something so outside of normal standards that it is considered outside of normal predictions.

Rias' team winning in a game against Issei isn't unpredictable. The match is going to end two ways. With Issei or Rias winning. Therefore a win for Rias can't be unpredictable.

Issei coming into contact with a god from another world is unpredictable.

Issei landing on Great Red in the Dimensional Gap after getting 'Alphonsed.' And then Great Red creating a new body for Issei using his own flesh. That's unpredictable.

A team with a steady losing streak adding two Super Devils to their team and defeating Mahabali's team, one of the strongest in the tournament, is unpredictable.

How exactly is Rias winning unpredictable?

Rias winning is unpredictable because she adds nothing to the plot of the tournament while Issei does since the tournament arc focuses more on Isse then it does for Rias.

His an actual miltary leader and uses strategy. Dude has far more experience.

Are you Ishibumi and can confirm that is 100% accurate?

@Parry999 Rias is a military leader as well by your logic. And Rias does use strategy. It's just a simple and naive strategy using her team's power to crush her opponents, but it is a strategy. It's not like Rias doesn't use it at all.

Dulio has far more experience in what? Battle? Of course, he's older than Rias. As a leader? I'm not too sure about that.

And while Dulio and his team did use smart tactics against Issei and his team that was largely Rudiger's tactics that Dulio was implementing. And even with that, they only won the game by two points. But regardless, a win' s a win.

Let's say this. Cao Cao has had some losses in the preliminaries. More than 1. Just because Issei only had one loss does that make Issei a better king than Cao Cao?

There's little evidence proving that Dulio's a better king than Rias. That's just your opinion.

You don't need to be Ishibumi to see that the tournament is focused on Issei. He is the one with all the rivals, he is the one who caught the attention of the gods, he is the one the super devils are interested in, he is the one who has to win for Tiamat, he is the one who has to enter the top four to become a maou. The story revolves around Issei and Rias winning makes little to no sense, unless Ishibumi decides to put the tournament in the background or even have it cancelled (and after 5 volumes, I find it very unlikely).
If you don't like the word unpredictable, let's just say that Issei losing is very, very unlikely.

Dulio was the leader of of team dxd dude and a seraph candidate. What exactly do you disagree with him being a better king? I am not saying this out of some spite against her.
