From what I have see there is people who have speculating that Starsend Momentum could be something like a counter ability such the one of Falbium Asmodeus others think it can be something like a ability to see in the future.

He writes in a these interesting powers that can be used in versatile or very tactical ways but he tends to write fights in a DBZ-esque manner. He tends to forget certain abilities exist like Excalibur Blessing and Nightmare. While not showing others at all like two of Saji's Sacred Gears. Or cutting them out the plot entirely like Annihilation Maker and Sephiroth Graal. While nerfing certain powers that should be way more powerful than they are shown like Rias's POD, Akeno's Holy Lightning, or any holy power in general. For example Gasper and Saji just became hand-to-hand combatants despite the fact their abilities really contradict that being their main fighting style. He even made Dulio a hand-to-hand combatant against Issei in Volume 23 despite Zenith Tempest being a long-range Longinus. And he even had Cao Cao just boost his spear's power in his fight against Sairaorg rather than using his seven abilities. And in Volume 19 when Gasper fought Strada he didn't even use his time stopping ability at all. Then Ishibuni showed him fighting some fodder and then pretty much cut him out of the major fights concerning Rias by turning him into a power-up for her. So I wouldn't get my hopes up concerning certain abilities. |

Maybe, it could be interesting.
Kiba need something stronger than Gram but not cursed. I was thinking about the possibility that Issei thanks the power of Ryuuuteimaru could make a evolved version of the Dividing Wyvern Fairy that can turn into weapons. Immagine a red and black sword that can release of few amount of Ophis and GR's aura wielded by Kiba. There is also the possibility that he could use a Malebranche but instead of power up himself he could use it in the weapon form or maybe the Malebranche could share its with Kiba's Demoniac Sword for increasing their power. |

Also Gram is supposedly the strongest dragon slayer but not once did Siegfried actually make use of it as he never fought against Issei even though that would have been the perfect opportunity to display what the sword was capable of. And Kiba's last-ditch attack against Issei in Shin Volume 2 didn't even involve Gram which makes no sense. Gram and the 4 demonic swords that Kiba wields was supposed to be a major power-up but as far as I'm concerned you could simply replace them with the demonic swords Kiba makes with Sword Birth and you really wouldn't notice a difference. Same goes for most of the main cast's special abilities and equipment in this series. The only people that power-ups really matter for and has any long-term relevance are Issei and Vali. Everyone else just gets thrown a bone or two or outright ignored. So making the Malebranche a power-up for everyone and their mother is just a waste of time and writing space and Ishibumi really has either of those at this point. Just give the Malebranche to Vali off-screen and give him Lucifer's special ability and call it a day. L |

Ish needs writing classes he needs help asap age can make you better but on his behalf the health doesn’t work well in his favor so much ability potential for so many characters. Just make the Malebranche have host for interesting villains.

Since the fourth arc ended, I feel that Ishibumi has decided to bring this series to an end and introduce all the characters in the main plot that he never had a legitimate reason to do so before then hence the reason for the Azazel Cup while using it as kind of a stopgap while Ishibumi wandered around in the dark searching for a new enemy before finally deciding to end it with the Evies. It feels like Ishibumi wants to add so much more to the series while wanting to end it as soon as he possibly can. And the quality of the current volumes and what has happened in them just reflects that. I kind of felt like the editor wasn't really doing their job properly and now DxD is oversaturated with too many plots and too many characters at this point while the world is barely developed and certain characters remain static. |

Other new characters have been kinda pointless so far, like Latia or Iryuka. There's no reason these characters couldn't have been introduced in the Millicas spin-off he wants to write. It seems like they are potential love interests, but he could have just added Seekvaira to the harem especially since she's like one of the only girls that has similar hobbies and interests as Issei. We've never needed ExE or FxF and I hope he's not planning to keep Melvazoa and Seraselbes for a Boruto-esque spin-off. Indra, Shiva and/or the Malebranche would have been okay for the final antagonists. |

I think that Seekvaria isn't becoming one of Issei's girls cause maybe Ishi has choice that Rias should be the only one of the 4 Rookie King to be in the harem. Quote:
I believe that he has though that the Eevie by before the Azazel Cup, we know that he was thinking that make Shiva the final antagonist but if you think about it we have heard of Chichigami already by Volume 7. |

However trying to stay more on topic with the main discussion topic of this thread what you guys think about the possibility that Issei thanks Ryuuuteimaru could be the source for some power up to his friends and girlfriends?
For example he could make a evolved version of the Dividing Wyvern Form that could turn into weapons who have both boost, transfer, penetrate and a few amount of the aura of Ophis and GR? Like black and crimson swords for Kiba, Xenovia and Irina, propulsor with cannons that could be equipped to the wings of Akeno for increasing her flying speed and release much powerful holy lightnings, a hand-mounted machine gun that would allow Rias to fire a much more powerful and faster version of her barrage of power of destruction's orb bullets that could even be further enhanced with penetrate. |

I am also interested in what other weapons Ryuuteimaru is hiding. He can grant them to Issei's comrades, maybe. Imagine Kiba and Xenovia wielding Apocalypse Ascalon. Too OP
Speaking of which, what would Issei's strongest attack be? Apocalypse Smasher? Quote:
Chichigami was meant to be a joke iirc. |

I wonder how strong are the Malebranche in weapons form are? Possible comparable to Tobio's blades and Shooting Star's sword and riffle? Quote:
There is who on Reddit have speculated that Issei must have a counter ability for Half Dimension and Compression Driver, you know a power that increase the size of things instead of reduce. I have though that with this kind of ability Issei could make Rias a near- giantess for her use breast as proper source of power to Ryuuuteimaru. |

Guys what you think about the possibility that Issei once get his final power could be able to bless all of the characters (with exception of Vali and Albion) for give them a copy of his scale mail that have a small amount of the powers of Ddraig, Ophis and GR?
In this way we could have a army of Pseudo Red Dragon Emperor that could resist better again the army of the Eevie. |

Currently I'm afraid that the possible Vali's answer/counterpart to Issei's AXA can be that Gogmagog could be modified for using Vali's demoniac energy and the 12 Malebranche as its source of power and more or less Vali will be its pilot.. |
