High School DxD Light Novel - Character Speculation/Theories: Issei's Peerage

[Hyodou True DXD]

From the Shin DXD 2 :

“Kanzaki…”

Kanzaki Mitsuya gave out a simple greeting in response to Nakiri’s attitude.

“…You’re as energetic as usual.”

Realising my parents’ presence, he tried to control himself so things didn’t get out of hand as he said,

“One day, I’ll have you return Momiji-chan…”

“Kaede… No, Nakiri Momiji. That’s what she was called here, huh?”

“Don’t you dare speak of her. Telos Karma is Momiji-chan’s…”

“In the end, you’ll be able to meet her. However, I don’t know if she’d want to return from there. —As it is her own choice.”

So it seem that Momiji could have been one of Kanzaki's team members at least in their world or in the game.

I dunno about be a couple but it seem that it was Momiji's choice disappeared and left Telos Karma to Mitsuya unless Mitsuya has lied.

And maybe because of her Longinus she can use touki despite not possessing the Sacred Beast Ouryuu.

It can be, maybe it would be Issei that could convince her to return.

Ok so we all know Issei's Current Peerage members what's left are:
1 Mutant Rook

8 Pawns

Personally I'd like to continue the tradition where female Pawns use only 1 Pawn piece.

We've only had 2 cases of all Female Peerages which were either led by jerks or in one case a Psychopath. Issei should be an all female Peerage done right.

Would have liked a Riser girl like Mira or Isebela in one his team but of course aside from being in Riser harem they are weak and Issei can't afford any weak links on his team.

Sefaira is a popular pick for the Mutant Rook.

Tiamat is also possible but highly improbable.

At this point Shin has made 2 additions to Isseis Peerage.

1 New: Ingvild

1 Old: Bennia

Another interesting point

You can pair Isseis Peerage into hair colors

Blonde - Asia and Ravel

Purple - Ingvild and Bennia

So hypothetically

He still needs a second blue for Xenovia and white/silver for Rossweisse.

Its also important to assess hus Peerage based on their types and abilities

Ingvild is his Queen and immensely powerful in terms of magic but lacks experience. I believe she falls into the category of Wizard/Spellcaster

Asia is a support Bishop with the ability to fight with Fafnir and is more defensive. She is also a Wizard/Spellcaster.

Ravel is also support but an oddly balanced piece as she mixes her use of magic with hand to hand combat which is atypical for a Bishop. She can be seen as a mix of Support/Wizard/Spellcaster and Power. His most multifaceted piece

Xenovia is more power orientated like a Rook despite being a Knight, easily a Power type.

Bennia is more of Technique type as she leverages her speed and magic to great effect in combat.

Rossweisse is yet another Wizard/Spellcaster which is atypical for a Rook which are more often hand to hand fighters but she's learned to leverage her Rook piece to enhance her magic defenses.

Issei himself is obviously a Power type.

Overall, Issei could use more Technique typed for balance as well as bit more Power as his Peerage is heavily focused on magic which could be a deficit as it affects their flexibility.

Due to the time available for character development and current events, the rook and pawn position must be occupied by two super op women, in this way they immediately support Issei's team against the exe.

Xenovia may be more power oriented but she has been taking on more technique aspects

Yes but from a general point she is still more power based as she doesn't always utilize her speed effectively.

Isseis Peerage has a few girls who'd be better as other pieces.

Xenovia would have been a better Rook but that would have been a waste if she could use a Knight.

Rossweisse would make a much better Bishop than Rook, as seen when she registered as one in the AC.

With her intelligence, leadership and skillset, Ravel would have been an ideal Queen had she been more powerful.

Asia and Bennia honestly fit their pieces well.

As for Ingvild her piece chose her which I think speaks for itself.

[DarkTemplar]

Another angle to consider.

Every Piece that has more than 1 version, Issei has traded

Ingvild is his only Piece who was reincarnated by him.

The Mutant Rook obviously won't be traded.

That leaves the Pawns

With the exception of Rossweisse and Bennia, all Isseis traded pieces chose to join him long before he was High Class.

Makes you wonder if he's gaining a reputation as a collector of other Peerage pieces. There's already the rumor of him wanting an all female Peerage which of course is so him. So some of his Pawns may be up for trade, question is... from where?
