Instead of Rias saving Issei from Raynare's attack, it was Azazel who saved him, due to not trusting Raynare with any simple task?

(Now even though anyone at the Fallen Angel faction lack the things to reincarnate Any other species into their own kind, let's just high ball it and say Azazel made an exception for Issei.)

From world-building to Longinus and specific arcs

I ordered the Akeno bunny figure and she’ll be the last I get for dxd

I don’t know if it’s ever been mentioned, but don’t a lot of humans know about devils since they form contracts with them? And wouldn’t it be possible that someone from Kuoh Academy could form a contract and then know that students at their school are devils? I don’t know if it was ever explained in the novel, but how do contracts work with the whole secrecy thing?

Hello dear friends, fans of devils with breasts, tender nuns and strong desires.

I come with the doubt if something has been announced about a new season of DXD or something about volume 5-6 of the Shin DXD novel.

I apologize if what I write is not very understandable, since I am a Spanish speaker and I use Google Translate to write this. Thank you very much for your attention.

This magical journey can finally begin

Humans find a way to clone and edit devil DNA, and add cybernetic upgrades to the resulting organisms. This results in even greater strength, speed, and durability than a standard devil. The drawback: they are completely devoid of souls.

The cyber devils keep cellular memory of the original allowing for them to use all of their most recent magics, and have much higher potential for growth than what the original ever did. However, their personalities are mostly different and they do not have the actual memories of the original. They know only what is told to them by their creators, as well as gaining more knowledge from outside sources.

They also get various extra upgrades based on their type.

• Type A: Sapients. These ones are meant mostly for attainment of knowledge. They get an infinite lifespan and are able to see through illusions. However, they are physically the weakest, and rely on magic and gadgets.

• Type B: Grudges. They are essentially Terminators. These assassins are sent to kill a specific person for a cash reward. They know, at all times, the location of their current target. They are cunning, ruthless, highly intelligent... and blindly loyal. They will not take bribes even if the target proves they can pay better.

• Type C: Berserks. They are the warrior type. They have the powers of Hulk, in a way; the angrier they get, the stronger they get. They're also the physically most powerful class starting out, and are most easily cloned, making them far more expendable.

• Type X: Ultras. These are any cyber devils who were cloned from Ultimate or Transcendent class devils. They already start out with equally powerful magics as the original, and due to the vast potential they can likely become overpowered as hell if they live long enough.

Meeting some voice actors soon. Meeting akeno VA (bryn apprill) next week for some signatures. Also got Rias (Jamie marchi) , rosswiesse (mallorie rodak) koneko ( Jad saxton) at a huge show in CT in July. Also getting individual manga volumes signed as well. Will be quite the HS DXD collection!

To the mods: This isn’t disinformation, I’m just posting text from the actual Light Novel.

Which actresses would you choose to play Rias (Northern European according to Motohama) and Akeno (Japanese) if they made a live action?

N.B: THE FOLLOWING IS MY HOT TAKE ON A PARTICULAR PERIOD OF ISSEI'S LIFE. IT'S BASED ON THIS VIDEO=>[https://youtu.be/UWKwgGTdRj8?si=PpVxKJPnc8TK7\_dL\], AS WELL AS THE 3 OF THESE FANFICS=>([https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13615596/1/Through-the-pain-we-come-together-A-High-School-DxD-one-shot\],\[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/14026270/1/Issei-and-Rias-Make-Up\]AND\[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13737717/1/High-School-DXD-Hidden-Scars\]).

To start with, I get that the synopsis of the story(as well as a few others in this story)says that Yumma Ammano/Raynare was Issei's first girlfriend, but that's nowhere near remotely close to being true, and the proof is in the first arc of the series. Even by her own admission, Raynare being Issei's first girlfriend was nothing more than an act to manipulate his thoughts and emotions so she could get close enough to kill him due to her feeling threatened by Issei's Sacred Gear, the Boosted Gear, which carried the potential to mess with and put a dent in her own plans. And the unfortunate truth is, it actually worked. Except, Issei would have remained dead if Rias hadn't shown up and reincarnated him into her devil servant[basically saving his life]. And everything else that happened afterward was much, much worse. As Issei was hanging out with Asia, Raynare suddenly showed up and took her from him, all while laughing at and mocking him for having what looked like a mere double critical Sacred Gear. And even after he showed up with help to save Asia, he was too late and her Sacred Gear had already been stolen from her, which only gave Raynare another thing to laugh at and make fun of Issei for-alongside telling him how she truly saw Issei, having to spend even the tiniest bit of her time and energy on him, and what a weak, worthless and pathetic virgin loser he was in her eyes-ruthlessly destroying every last shred of confidence he ever had in himself as well as his abilities[taking a sick, twisted pleasure in the whole thing, which left him so badly traumatized and seemingly scarred for life-something we see plenty of throughout the series]especially with women(which is the true and only reason why he was always so hesitant to confess to Rias and all the other girls, and why he was so afraid of growing closer to women and calling them by name). Even after Raynare was killed by Rias, and Asia was reincarnated as a devil servant for Rias with her Sacred Gear returned to her, the damage had already been inflicted on Issei.

It was only when the girls in Rias's Peerage(and Irina)figured out Issei's trauma over Raynare[thanks to the frightened gazes he'd give them whenever they flirted with him and attempted to grow closer to him], and gave him all the comfort, reassurance of everyone's[including Rias]immense love for Issei as well as all the things they loved most about him, and counsel that they could in order to help heal his shattered heart and crushed spirit, that the trauma finally started getting addressed. As a result, Issei found the courage to confess his true feelings of romantic love to Rias and she reciprocated his feelings, which allowed the two of them to FINALLY become a couple. From that moment on, Issei's much more romantic relationships with Rias and the other girls was just beginning. And as he spent more time with each one of them and further developing his relationships with them, he healed and recovered from the trauma caused by Raynare's betrayal and all the damage it inflicted on his heart and soul throughout the rest of the story IMMEDIATELY AFTER the Rating Game. And by the time of his ceremony to be promoted to a high-ranking devil, all that trauma-as well as all the damage it had done-had completely dissipated into absolute nothingness. In other words, Issei had COMPLETELY gotten over Raynare, freeing himself from all the pain, trauma and humiliation she caused him so he could fully focus on Rias, Asia, Akeno, Koneko, Irina, Xenovia, Ravel, Rosswieisse, and Kuroka who TRULY love him from the bottom of their hearts and are MADLY in love with him, which DEFINATELY makes him very happy. It also doesn't hurt to state that his confidence in himself and his abilities was rebuilt and made many times stronger, higher, and tougher than it had ever been before or since.

In summary[from my view, at least], Raynare is NOT Issei's very first girlfriend and NEVER was, but rather had only ever been his biggest and most persistent tormenter even after her death-plus the boyfriend and girlfriend relationship between them was NEVER TRULY real, even though it was for Issei. No real girlfriend would ever treat you that way.

Instead, the honor of "Issei Hyoudou's very first girlfriend and lover" undoubtedly belongs to Rias Gremory, because the Crimson Princess of Ruin/Empress of Annihilation had always had absolute confidence in Issei and his abilities[even when he didn't], had always treasured and him as her servant/pawn, as a member of her household and family, and eventually as a man, had always encouraged and pushed him to be the absolute best because of always seeing and acknowledging that he always carried the potential for it, and had wholeheartedly loved and been in love with him ever since he boldly declared that he liked her as just Rias. Also, the moment Issei and Rias confessed to each other marked the true beginning of both their relationship as lovers and Issei's much needed healing process.

Would Issei's parents be more accepting to Issei and everyone else being Devils if they Saw the ORC fighting a dangerous Stray Devil, either Before or shortly after Volume 10?

(Very Similar to the episode of Ben 10 Alien Force, when Ben's parents found out about the Omnitrix.)

It seems like every time issei is about to lose his vCard rias always comes in and doesn’t let him. Just let the man have some fun!!!

I am having some trouble understanding [Crack], mainly with the visualization part.

Can someone help me with the visualization of [Crack]?

Would it be wrong to assume the [Crack] is somewhat like Gildart Clive's [Crush] (From Fairy Tail)?

Also, what are the various things [Crack] has the potential of doing apart from creating tears and scattering their momentum?

Hello everyone,

I am a German Fan.

And one of my biggest holes IS, that the Light Novel gets an German Release.

WE have the Anime, the Manga, but Not the Light Novel.

I would Love IT, If IT gets an German Release.

I can get the Novels in english...but i want to read them in my native language.

Just a white page and the signature on it. Most needed one is Rias. Thanks.

I am in Japan now for first time, I went to Akihabara, the holy grail for anime merch, and checked out a bit over 10 diff figurine shops and 5+ anime shops that don't sell figurines. None had any highschool dxd merch at all, not even the smallest keychain or anything. What's going on? Where are they, I'm sure I can get em online but the deals here are good.

Which characters illustration would you like to see now. Mine are Mirana-gabriels ace Mitsuya kanazaki All first generation of journey to west Fafnir Greek twins.

inscription on the picture: "Shall we go on a date together, Issei-kun?"

I recently picked up the blue rays for all 4 of the High School DxD, and I'm in the process of ripping them, to my private Jellyfin server. I have had no issue with uploading and identifying/ naming episodes (currently I have only done season 1), but the special features are all new to me. The blue ray cover does have a list of the extras, and so far naming them has just been guess work.

If anyone knows any websites that documents the special features for the series, ideally with a description or screen shot from it, I will be very great full.
