That match between Yomi and Yusuke below.

I actually imagined I will be seeing a similiar fight between Ise and Shiva where Ise loses after giving Shiva a good fight.
Though Shiva wont be participating in the tournament so looks like my wish wont happen... Though I wont be suprised if Shiva has an adult form which is his true form

Maybe Ise will fight Shiva to decide which side he wants to join. And Shiva beats him.


All this talk about Ise's Queen made me think of something else. What if Bina is actually an artificial Devil Azazel created. It's not like he's lacking samples for that.

But seriously ryuuteimaru was a ship... not women... ship didn't have gender.. unless this is kancolle...

You dare underestimate the power of Ise's imagination?

Uhm if that happen Rias will be angry at Azazel. ^^

[DOmus]

Would be cool if Strada joined his team, just saying.

[Ruki0089]

He join as temporary members? That's possible... reincarnated as devil? No... he want die as human...

Maybe as a temporary rook, it would be really interesting to see that. Though if there is a human/Vatican faction in this tournament then he might be there.

Irina did join temporarily. Why not him?

Dulio did join the game as King though. If Vatican people and the exorcists were to participate, it might be under him or Gabriel or the other archangels left.

That would be a nice twist lol.

Not really sure if it was intentional by Ishubumi, but the word "Bina"(ビナー) actually appears in Sephirot. It can also spelled as "Binah". Wonder which one is the correct 'spelling'

Hmm...wonder what this can mean since I'm cluess in religion.

Oh yeah. Forgot to mention.
The remaining Rias's servants (incluing Xeno, Asia, and Ross) that were a Low-class Devils are receiving a promotion as a Middle-class Devil. Also Saji and Tsubaki(?). Though its not stated when they will be taking the test. Rossweisse offically became Ise's peerage by a trade with "Rias" out of the blue in Life.3... And Rias was the one who brought it up.

[B214]

Wait so Rose is now officially a part of Ise's peerage. Just how Rias like is Ise's team now. >_>

Anyway it's good to see the others receive their promotion. They deserve it.

They aren't talking as if Ryuuteimaru would itself become a girl like in Kancolle. Read more carefully. The talk is about its avatar. You do know what the avatar of something is, don't you?

@Kusabireika: A Reincarnated Devil who loses his Evil Piece would all of his powers afforded by said Piece. It's what happened to Ise when he lost his body: Rias got all of his Pawn Pieces when they used the Dragon Gate to summon him, but because he'd lost his body, he himself didn't come back. So Rias had to put his Pieces back inside him since he didn't have them or any of his abilities that he'd had because of the Pieces at that point. And Tannin got his own Evil Pieces as a King, but if Mephisto ever wanted to participate in a Rating Game match (if he ever did - as it is now, it seems like he never would since he isn't interested), Tannin would participate in it as his Queen. But it's mainly because Tannin doesn't have a King Piece. Roygun Belphagor has one, so she can't get another Piece. The King Piece is still an Evil Piece even though it was discontinued, so unless it's removed, Roygun, or anyone who has a King Piece for that matter, can't get another Evil Piece put in them at the same time.

Ise is technically still in Rias' Peerage and would participate as a Pawn under her if she participated in a match, but now that he has his own Pieces, he's also a King of his own Peerage now. Just like Tannin, except that his King is interested in the Rating Game unlike Tannin's. But Ise won't be given a King Piece because those are rare and have also been discontinued already, not to mention that in the off-chance that he did get a King Piece, he'd have to lose his Pawn Pieces and that would be bad because he's also Rias' Pawn still.

Either way, I really doubt that a King of another Peerage participate in this tournament as part of another King's team. That's probably why Ise won't participate as part of Rias' team in it, either. Though maybe he could've if he'd wanted to, though he couldn't have also participated as a King himself as well in that case. But that probably only applies to Kings who are also part of another King's Peerage like Ise is. Kings who were born as High-class Devils and aren't in anyone else's Peerage wouldn't be able to participate in this tournament as part of another King's team, either - is what I'm thinking. And I really doubt that someone who is already a King would be able to be reincarnated as a servant by another King, King Piece or no King Piece.

@Imagine Breaker: I agree with you about Strada and Irina. Strada should be able to join someone's team temporarily like Irina did.

Edit: Two posts late.
So now Xenovia, Asia and Rose are all part of Ise's Peerage officially? So Rias has now lost three good Pieces. At least she still has Ise, and can hopefully find good people to replace the three she did lose. A guy can hope, right?

But yeah, like B214 said, it's good that those guys are now getting a promotion to Middle-class Devil. They do deserve it.

Really? I thought Ise just 'borrowed' her from Rias?

Edit: Didn't saw nom@n's post. Lol. So he started with 4 good servants. Most of them battle-hardened and the other one with experience at Rating Games at least. Wew.

And good for them. They had battled strong enemies. They might not be at Ise's level, but they sure deserved promotion as reward for their contributions in the battle against the terrorists.

'Binah' or בינה means 'Understanding'. And the premise of her appearance is to evaluate Ise. Hmmmm....
By the way, archangel assigned to Binah is Zafkiel - 'God's Knowledge'

Uhm how about Gasper and Koneko I hope it's OK to ask. T_T

[Ruki0089]

Yey, my theory about Ise's queen being new character rise to 75%... I'm sure she is new character... and I got feeling she would be introduced in short story... like meeting ise and how ise made her his queen... like Asia made contract with Fafnir...

He wrote Rias' remaining servants, so it includes Koneko and Gasper of course.

[kusabireika]

• Binah is traditionally translated as Understanding or Intelligence and correlates to the female aspect of Kether. Binah is also called ‘the mother’ and within her all formative forces rest which help shaping and balancing the creative potential of Chokmah. If the second Sephira is the archetype of overflowing vitality it is the influence of Binah that grants structure and form to these forces.
  If Binah’s light side represents the starting point of clothing unbound creative forces into equivalent shapes (german, Formwerdung),
• Satoriel represents the death of creative energy in aid of eternal, lifeless structure. The pursue of Satoriel is to becloud the nature of being behind shapes that fail to reflect the essence they represent. Thus perception and contact with these types of lifeless shapes runs dry on the surface and cannot connect with their inner creative forces. Satoriel is translated as ‘The Concealing Ones’ (german, ‘Die Verberger’).

Uhm anyway how strong is Issei's Queen. ^^?

[Imagine Breaker]

Just noticed the tag. Isn't it more like Tenkaichi Budoukai or Dark Tournament than Civil War? Haha.

[Ruki0089]

Dude, you mean Marvel Civil War...??

[Jedsada]

hmm, It seems Rias's peerage could be divided in two groups.

1. members who joined recently.
2. members who joined for long time (before start of the story).

the first group choose to go with Issei while the second group choose to stay with Rias.

Yes, yes, I think that's what the tagger means. We're not there. YET. I think. I don't know.
