| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lololol, that perverted trio is funny, at least to me. I also didn't know that Irina and Xenovia had such big appetites:  I'm somewhat glad that Yuuto's history is shown I guess. Koneko-chan ;.; she would feel lonely. Oh well, I'm going to look forward to more to see how this arc progresses. |
 |
| lol @ BGM being serious when talking about that guy's ero. They lost though. The guy is asking for teaming up to help out with Knight's grudge with angels. And the talk about that experiment in detail in Knight's side of view. That new guy with the client... who is that? |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |

| Looks like they both lost the fight. Anyway this episode was fun. |

| Koneko has strength in just 2 fingers holding Saji :'o As always good episode, waiting for subs. |
| Haha, finally Xeno and Irina get some screen time, it's great. Still have to wait for subs before I understand fully what I'm watching though. |
| People will surely be disappointed that Xenovia and Irina didn't get stripped like in the OP. At least we got Asia and Koneko. And people will definitely complain that not much happened in this episode. I liked it nevertheless. It's still setting things up for the big stuff later. Kokabiel and Balba's names have already been mentioned so it's only a matter of time. Kiba's past may not interest some but he's an interesting character that needs development. Lastly, I was doubting Ohsaka Ryota's performance but he's a perfect fit for Vali with that one line. I pictured Namikawa Daisuke would be a perfect voice for him before since he reminds me of Shrade from EVOL but you can't win it all I guess. Good episode. |
 |
| Tsk! I'm disappointed Issei lost that easily. Oh well, at least we got more Koneko and Asia stripping time. |
| Where's the subbed version T.T |
| gotta love koneko-chan <3 |
| Nice episode, Issei and Kiba got their asses kicked. The guy at the end looks bad ass. |

solomon585858 said: Pretty disappointing episode considering that both main characters lost to some fodder girls who won't show anything impressive in their future battles. Disappointment... 1/10 for this episode fodder? o_O Irina and Xenovia are hardly fodder |

| Koneko there is no doubt about your place in my favorite character list. Now waiting for Kiba badass momment. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| My weekly dose of oppai!! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Haha, Issei's dress break plan got foiled by Koneko. But, And another week till next episode. |
| Those subs took forever! |

The series is set up such that Ise beats the crap out of all the bosses, anyone should be able to see that. Writing off those two as simple fodder, though, is just silly Mod edit: spoiler tagged where needed |

| Nice fight! Too bad that they lost. Koneko-chan as cold as always, but still kawaii. Stitches327 said: Those subs took forever! I agree ! :<.. |
| We finally get to see a bit of Vali. Good to see him make an appearance! Although he looks a bit "darker" than the initial impression I got from the light novels. If you have read the light novels, you will know that right now that this part of the story is a real character development of Kiba so he is going to get plenty of screen time around right now. Also, on another note, Irina seems to be sooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch hotter/sexier than she did in the Light Novels.... and this is a good thing :P. Xenovia is still dead on the impression I got from the light novels. Overall I'd give it a 3.5/5 only because it was a necessary plot development in order to progress onto the next part without rushing things too much. I'm glad they aren't skipping too many things as they go about this arc and giving plenty of characterization and plot development to follow on. Now back to watching season 1's ED :D. |
| Work in progress... |
| Yay new characters! Looks like the story is progressing nicely which is nice, but it's a pretty average episode overall. |

| Another great episode! I love tht xenovia & irina not lose cause tht made them useless all talk characters. |

mg021 said: Major fight usualy done by male anyway like Issei, Kiba solomon585858 said: mg021 said: fodder? o_O Irina and Xenovia are hardly fodder They are. They didn't win a single battle which was important in all LNs. They are fodder. Especially Irina who is so far the most annoying and plain character in all series. in all fairness I'll admit I don't actually remember much of Irina in battle, i guess. xenovia though, off the top of my head (whole bunch of LN spoilers for argument's sake) and of course they're not going to win an "important" battle.

| I maybe to easy to appeal... I really like Xenovia character, so she just needs to just up and be herself and I have fun with this anime, and Irina is a good character too, people call her blunt and plain and stupid, but I sympathize with her, one thing people that havent read the LN dont know, it is that in terms of characters, throught the series, it keeps getting better and better, it reaches a level and the bar never goes down again!! I cant wait to see that Gothica (spoiler ahead) Ophis Dragon God of the infinite, she is so kawoi in her dress! |
 |
| Oh man, Kiba's past was quite sad. Thank goodness Rias pretty much saved his life. It was nice to see Rias being all worried about Kiba 'leaving' Gremory. The fight at the beginning was very enjoyable. Oh man Irina's voice is so cute. She's voiced by Maaya Uchida, no wonder! xD Issei accidentally stripping Koneko and Asia's clothes was hilarious. Oh man, it was so cute of Koneko saying 'I don't want you to go' to Kiba. I'm also loving Xenovia as a character. That man at the end... don't tell me he's also an antagonist. D: 5/5 |
 |
| I can't handle all this angst Kiba! : P The hunt for the Excaliburs continue |
| Thought this was a pretty boring ep for the most part 2/5 |
 |
| Why are we denied some Irina nudity?! |
| Click on this. I dare you. | MAL Fantasy Football League | Currently Watching List RWBY Club. RWBY is anime. Deal with it. |
| I wanna know who that guy is at the end. |

I don't care for those two from the church whose names I won't bother to type. Koneko is always the best and Asia is cool to. Not a bad episode but I was hoping for more. 3/5 |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| contrary to most people here (apparently) i"m actually glad Issei got beated up in this episode, it was a major proof for me that dxd is really putting plot before fanservice (of course we all love fanservice, BUT it cannot be the main point of a anime, you cannot forget the plot... yes i'm talking to you capu2 ), why you ask ? simple, i think we can assume that both irina and xenovia will be part of issei's harem at some point, and i'm actually fucking glad they did not rush their "entrance" in the harem, if issei had won the figth, the odds of the girls falling in love with him would be much bigger, especcialy xenovia... I'm glad they are taking their time to develop the characters and plot, thats how great stories are made |
| xenovia xenovia xenovia xenovia! XD damn I really love this character XD |
| As always, I like the OST and the intermission cards. So, Xenovia the strong and Irina the cute won against Yuuto and Issei. Oh well. But at least I got my expected Dress Break! And it was used on Asia and Koneko! And I'm really loving the Xenovia and Irina pair! New mentioned characters: Kokabiel, one of the Cadres of the Grimori Organization AKA the Watchers of God's Children. Valper Galilei AKA Genocide Archbishop. Saji, the pawn of the Student Council President and also the Student Council Secretary, makes a reappearance and decides to help Issei and friends. On the other hand, the drunk guy and a mysterious guy appears near the end! Could this be the host of the white dragon, the Vanishing Dragon? I'm really loving the plot development! |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |

Just for the sake of taking some starch out of her. |
| It got a lot better. |
 |
| Who's that guy with the client @_@, well he looks badass! still I want Issei stop being such crap and be stronger. In these past episodes he only does bullshit with fanservice. Well THIS IS DXD so, still good :) |
| Tch. |
