So after reading vol5 now I was wondering when Ross does have to go to the underworld does she not also have to get scanned as well?? Was it mentioned tht they had to take the train again when they went down in vol 10??

[n0m@n]

Nope. It wasnt mentioned that Ross went through scanning, but in volume 5 it is said that everyone has to when they first arrive in Underworld so she must have went through it.

Well someone should have noticed his fusion with GR.......wait, someone should definitely notice the arrival of GR, and then the fusion between Ise and GR that produced a giant Ise with his BB form on (which is known throughout the underworld) and then him defeating the giant monsters attacking the major cities....
Someone will definitely notice his arrival.
Now the thing is only the Rias group, Souna group, the Phoenix house, Maous and Gremory house, Sairarorg and Vali's team new Ise died, so for the rest of the underworld it's a matter of being late (or right on time, wich way you prefer).

Zenovia was the first fan translation made by people while Xenovia is the official japanese to english name by Ishibumi. Apparently it has something to do with the different way hiragana is read. There were also differences in other LN between fan and official translation (To aru for example).

n0m@n said that Grafia was present when Issei rode in on GR and "became Ultraman" to defeat Jaberwock.

[Rozeluxe Meitzen]

umm, my question now is, Ophis gave half of her powers to revive Ise, and she had twice the power of Draig and Albion together in their prime (already more than enough to kick anyones butt easily), so that means she now has only the power equal to Draig and Albion in their prime? (wich is already to much) next question, what happened to the stolen power? will she get it back?, or is it all lost forever, including the power she gave Ise? basically i wonder about the future of Ophis power and if she will regain her infinite, but either way, so far, she is the strongest of all (apart from GR)

[ru5ty]

@rozeluxe Meitzen well we still dont know how infinite ophis power is..but it is true when ophis power stolen by caocao she still have power twice heavenly dragon..i dont know how much power she gave to ise.but if its true that she give half of her power (which is equal to ddraig or albion) than ise would have power equal to heavenly dragon??(not to mention his body is from GR body)

[XFire]

Ophus didn't retrieve her stolen power as far as we know, but I would assume there is a way for her to retrieve it. Though I don't think she really cares at this point.

[1upspud]

I thought her power after the attack was twice that of the two heavenly dragons in their prime so her power after Ise gets his new body is the same as the two heavenly dragons in their prime combined.

Not exactly. His body is a little stronger than before, but not to that extent. Rather than Ophus giving him that much power, it cost her that much strength to attach Ise's spirit to his new body.

Whoops, read you're question wrong. But n0m@n said her power level after vol 12 was "a slightly strong dragon".

Well that is what we expect but I dont really know what his new body is like, or has n0m put a few spoilers about his body as well??

[Cracking0815]

In the Summeries of Volume 12 it is mentioned that Akeno, Ise and Kiba are promoted. Which title have they obtained?

[zzhk]

I think they are deemed to have passed, but haven't gone through the actual ceremony yet.

[Cracking0815]

Thanks for the quick reply, i am looking forward to it. Especially what comes with a title(territory and so on, since Evil pieces comes with a High Class Promotion that is out of question).

We don't know if this is a real SS by Ishibumi or simply fan fiction, but given Ise was asked by a few characters to make babies with them, after saving the underworld I can totally see applications for his harem.
