So, does anyone knows which SSs are in this? I know the one with Ophis and Kunou is confirmed, but I don't think any other was.

[B214]

Seekvaira SS will be in it.
Another Grigori SS with Salamander Tomita.
Poseidon SS
A SS on the FSG Maou(?) - Not sure on this one.
A SS on Kuroka (?)
And a SS on the Five Great Family in Slashdog (?)

The last three are something i got from the preview in Ishibumi's blog. Might have been used in another SS, or a part of another SS, so the accuracy of the last 3 SS isn't confirmed.

[Chichiryuushintei]

Thanks.

[DragonOsman]

Yeah. I'm looking forward to this one. It's going to be great, I think.

[Ariel_Saeba]

Is the Metatron SS included?

No don't think so.

[DragonOsman]

That's the one called "Nekomata Ninja Scroll," right? That one might be in DX.3. N0m@n is the one translating it, but he hasn't finished yet. I guess he's too busy with RL and/or other translation projects.

[n0m@n]

The 6 short story (originally published in DM) included in DX2 is the following:
1. Oppai is the Sun (Will have Poseidon appear)
2. Student Council's Decesion (SC girl's prefference in guys will be mentioned)
3. Let's Go with Training (It was actually this SS where the Kusangi's sword was first mentioned. Also has Saji getting totally raped by level 999999 Maous. RIP.)
4. Worship☆Dragon-God Girl (Ophis and Kunou. The two lolis)
5. Nekotama☆Ninja Scroll (I really need to finish this....)
6. Maniac's Sanctuary (That Agares Girl appears along with her male Queen who is actually a Dragon. And her obsession with Robots and plastic models and stuff)

And also 1 new story which is LN exclusive like always. So in total 7 stories will be included.

Thanks for the info n0m, good to see that you're still around.

[Chichiryuushintei]

Wow, thanks a lot for the confirmation N0m@n.

Saji getting the shaft (I love the guy, but iit's still hilarious), AN ARCHANGEL F*UCKING NINJA, Ophis & Kunou, and more info on the robot geek? Plus something new? Now I'm hyped.

Is that SS about the girls's preferences the one where Ise sees a Yaoi Doujin starring him and Kiba? I always wanted to see that one.

[DragonOsman]

I just hope we don't actually have to sit there and read actual scenes from that doujin. Other than that, I'm also hyped and am looking forward to DX.2.

It's a good thing that Nekomata Ninja Scroll will be in it. I'm happy about that.

[Direwolf18]

Oh man I totally forgot that you were even translating that one.


I am really looking forward to the Ophis and Kunou one. Especially because its contents are quickly becoming plot relevant. Compared to some of the others that are sorta filler or true side stories the Ophis Kunou relationship is going to be relevant.

[DragonOsman]

None of the side-stories are really "filler," though - they're all canon. It's just that they aren't treated as part of the main story since they're side-stories.

I'm also interested in the Ophis and Kunou side-story, but I'm also interested in the Nekomata Ninja Scroll one.

I refuse to accept the Akeno Barakiel SS as canon

[Chichiryuushintei]

Who doesn't? Who doesn't... *sigh*

[Direwolf18]

I'm not saying they aren't cannon. But if you were to miss the posed ion one or the ninja scroll one there isn't a big impact for the main story.

[Chichiryuushintei]

Well, filler literally means content that's not made by the author to fill space in the anime until the source material is far ahead enough for it to resume adaptation. So, none of the SSs are filler. Some are irrelevant, but none are filler.

[DragonOsman]

Exactly, and by definition, that makes them canon because the opposite of "filler" is "canon".
