I'm still trying to figure how they will make the Oppai Dragon stuff since apparently there's no Sitri RG. I think they could say Azazel wanted to do it for the lulz, and it'd make sense, Azazel built a bunch of crazy stuff for lulz after all. I'm still waiting for the SS with the Maouga to be translated. But it still worries me. |

As much as I agree that the cliffhanger should be Asia's "death" and not the Power-up HYPEHYPEHYPE of the MC, I think it's most likely that they'll be doing the latter.
Look at how they ended the second to last episode that's out of BorN. It's just natural for a shonen to end an episode like this, and a "safe" decision. I love TNK and the work they've done for us, but I don't expect them to break away from the par. |

The problem with that second statement is they've broken away from the "par" with dxd already so doing it moreso isnt surprising

@Imperial: They already did the Oppai Dragon Song (It was brilliant, I still put that on replay for about an hour every now and then), so It's already confirmed to happen. It's more a worry of how they'll explain it. |

They're gonna hype the absolute crap out of it. EDIT: Imperial, I see what you're going for with the SSJ reference, and no one is denying that it's one of the most iconic scenes in all of anime. But we've come to see DBZ inspired stuff like that all over the place. The "Rage-induced MC power-up to new epic form" is a trope, and almost a cliché at this point. Just because something else was iconic, doesn't mean a carbon-copy will be. |

If they paid 1/2 of the total budget for the animator of that episode and 1/3 third for the soundtrack of that same episode, it'll be the first time I get a boner watching DxD. |

On the Oppai Dragon stuff, the key part is how they're gonna get the children's attention on Ise so they can come up with the Oppai Dragon show. Fighting Loki wasn't televised so they can't use that excuse; I still think the best bet is showing the Sitri RG off-screen with the highlights as a TV broadcast and then they keep the Young Devils Tournament momentum as well as a reason for the Oppai Dragon show's commencement.

And the fact that V7 is the worse Volume up to date and only has 4 scenes I care about, but that's besides the point. |

All they really have to do is have Azazel decide it'd be fun to do and bring it up in episode 6 or 7. They don't need to make a big thing out of it. |

For instance, to continue with the SSJ reference, are you aware the episode where SSJ is revealed doesn't end on the transformation? You get a scene with Ginyu-Frog and Bulma first. What made that scene iconic was what it meant and the imagery. When most people think of that scene, the image that pops into their head is the famous shot of Goku from behind, glowing with golden aura, just having transformed. It was important because it showed how much Goku cared, and it went on to define the series. JD be will be iconic if they make it look amazing, and get it to show how far Issei is willing to go for his loved ones. Blowing Asia out of the water by ending the episode on JD happening just leaves us with a classic Shonen ending, and you can practically hear DBZ's narrator: "Has Shalba pushed Issei's anger to new heights? And can Issei avenge the life of his close friend Asia? *cue that epic guitar riff* The only way to find out is to stay tuned to the next exciting episode of High... School... D...(xD)" |

If they end it with Rias gremory you've made the wrong choice and start the transformation you have a much more epic announcement. DBZ Narrator: What is this new transformation wat does it mean for Issei Shalba and even the Gremory Gang what about poor Asia All this on the next episode of High School DxD Title: Juggernaut drive bitch (its actually Juggernaut Drive but i had to make the reference. *cue guitar riff* @Chichi DBZ did that for me too in america. However, the fact they didnt show the images meant you knew what was coming but u didnt know HOW they'd do it. The fact they send so many images of the next episode is one of the great flaws of current anime the anticipation isnt as good. I mean really no matter how much you add the fact that they show u wats next ruins a bit of the fun (That episode preview is also gonna be real interesting

What makes JD so epic is the absolute spine-chilling destruction it brings. Emphasis on spine-chilling. You have Ise walking around, disillusioned, trying to find Asia and go home. Then Shalba mentions she's dead. He looks up slowly, Ddraig starts that infamous line, he walks over to Shalba silently like a ghoul, and finishes [...made the wrong choice.] Then we have absolute curbstomp. It's not about the power, it's about how it's shown. The cold, merciless desire to tear Shalba apart for what he did to Asia.

We talked about ending the ep on the "You made the wrong choice" line before, and while epic it does totally overshadow Asia. Ah well. I'm excited either way.
Also, don't step to my DBZ narrator game, son. That was a direct quote from the CN broadcast, with only the names changed. Edit: Gary hit the nail on the head. |
