That's actually really touching given how much he enjoyed the RG's

I agree.

It's a pity that he is not here to enjoy this. It's also sad that he can't be here to see Issei competing in the tournament seeing that Azazel watched his growth during this year.

Illustrations: well, have that tell that were good illustrations in this occasion (finally Miyama Zero made a work incredible), the illustration of issei in its mode Dragon deification, is extraordinary (the drawing incredible, also the design of the armor), although when saw by first time the illustration of the proposed of issei, the face of issei me leaves much that think is a face of determination, this surprised, angry, which is the feeling that conveys that face of issei?.


Now the content of the volume for my this all very well, the son of Tannin this was something very easy of wait (was impossible that to his old age even outside Virgin, was logical that already had had offspring), was very incredible that the God Shiva you propose to issei be part of his army, (only hope that the God Shiva have a good reason for be the antagonist in this last bow, because that must have a reason, not as antagonists of Marvel in the 60's, antagonists have no reason that being bad and only is bad because so think the author ).

However the time of the bout of Rias and Akeno for the virginity of issei was nice, but I thought of something better .

Is good to know that finally issei could do a marriage proposal Rias (I hope to see in some future illustration of his wedding) thanks for the spoilers.

[Ultragunner]

Well to Tannin's credit, he always had been a legit dragon king, then an Ultimate Class Devil, but most importantly he doesn't suffer from an illness known as "being c*ckblocked" like a certain someone
Tannin's son (do we get to know his name?) sure knows his stuff - Ise does indeed want girls in his peerage - that's the mark of a true right hand man there

Speaking of which, why am I not surprised with what happens in life. 0

[n0m@n]

Just woke up. Will start writting spoilers again.

Life.4

Spoiler for life4:

1.So weeks have passed since last time.
2.Rias and her group arrived in the stadium.
3. New team members for Rias group are the following people. Valerie, and Lint Selzan (a girl who looks like Freed and has the Longinus 'Incinerate Anthem". This Longinus goes to different people on its own). There is also a mysterious character called "Mister Black" but nothing is revealed about him.
4.There are 1400+ teams parcitipating in the tournament. The top 16 team will be going to the final rounds. The team will have a starting point of 1500 points and by defeating a team you gain points and lose points if you lose the match. You will gain more points by defeating a team who has much more points than your team.
5. Some of the Kings of certain teams are Indra, Sun Wukong, Dulio, Slash Dog, Vali, Cao Cao, Sairaorg, Seekvaira, Sona, Mahabali, Typhoon, and real Surtr.
6. Ise shows up late in Ryuuteimaru which has become a massive ship. He has a mysterious masked character as his Queen. Her name is Bina Lessthan.
7. Ise's team wears a crimson uniform.
8. All the rookies approaches Ise. Ise and Vali has now become are friendly rival. They can be thought as a friend now since when everyone went fishing the two of them fished together.

Members for several groups.

Ise's team.
King=Ise
Queen=Bina Lessthan
Rook 1=Rossweisse
Rook 2=Unregistered
Knight 1=Xenovia
Knight 2=Irina
Bishop 1=Asia
Bishop 2=Ravel
Pawn (3 pieces) =Bova Tannin (Tannin's son)
Pawn (5 pieces) =Unregistered
#Elmenhilde appears at the very end to join Ise's group(cliffhanger).

Rias's team.

Bishop 2=Le Fay
Pawn (3 Pieces) = Bikou
Pawn (5 Pieces) =Unregistered

[WingsoftheDragonix]

I like the part of the spoiler regarding Issei and Vali, is a good thing that the current generation of the Two Heavenly Dragons have this kind of relationship.

I find interesting that both Rias and Issei have a mysterious character in their team.

[Ultragunner]

Wow, so Ise's Queen turns out to be so mysterious, but I suspect that she (I presume it is a lady?) is someone we already know

Also, is it wrong for me to feel cheated in Ise's place when Rias's new Pawn takes up all 8 pieces just like he did?

[WingsoftheDragonix]

Ultragunner @ Yeah, that's what I think too regarding Issei's queen. She is probably someone that we already know, and for some reason I get the feeling that the same can be said about Mr Black.

[kusabireika]

maybe Issei's queen is a trap.... anyway did all Vali's peerage become devil if it's ok to ask n0m@n. T_T

the 3 people that i think could be it is Grayfia Yasaka or Tiamat

Can't be Yasaka since she doesn't have the time to play around like that.
So it's either Grayfia or Tiamat.

I would say Tiamat would be the most unlikely of the 3 to me

[WingsoftheDragonix]

Yeah, I agree. All the three of them are interesting in a way or another.

It's hard to guess who is the most probable between them.

batman14 @ I wonder about that, as far I remember we still do not know why Ddraig said that she hate him. Knowing Issei I can see him trying to fix the relationship(whatever their relationship was) of the two dragons. Maybe he did that and she decided to help him in the tournament? This is just one of the possible scenarios.

Life.5

Spoiler for life5:

1.Ise's group have done 3 matches already. He has won all 3 of them but he has bad reviews among critics and viewers since he struggled against weaker teams. The other group has a postive review instead.
2.Ravel says that number of wins doesnt necessary mean going to finals. You can still go to final with minimal matches if you do it right. Though Ise prefers to accept all challanges which makes Xenovia and Bova strongly agree with him.
3. Ise's Queen instead has good reviews. Others still dont know about her identity. She approached Ise on April to see his calibre as a King. It's said that she is a Devil.
4. Valerie is taking Asia's psotion as a healer of Rias team. She can use her Holy Grail to heal others thought not as strong as Asia's. Lint and Mister Black are also a mystery and has proven to be very poweruful.
5. A new trio is formed. Ophis, Lilith, and Kunou. The loli trios. Ophis can shapeshif to her old form. Lilith is being called Leece.
6. Ise's oppponent for his fourth match is decided. It's team Lightning and their King is Barakiel. Thier Queen is Armaros (one of the FA leaders).
7. Ise meets Barakiel downstairs. Awkward atmopshere. He asks Akeno who she will be cheering for but she immediately chooses Ise and hugs him. This made Barakiel run in tears. Though Akeno is actually sadden by this and she's jealous of Rias's relation with Ise.

The Rating Game.
On the day of the RG match. One of the commentators is Rias's dad.
The Rating Game match they will be doing is called "Objects". You can win either by defeating the opponent King or destroying more "Objects" than the other team. There are 12 objects in total.
Basically Ise's team gets cornered. But at the end Ise's team wins with overhwleming strength by Ise using DxD mode and annihalating half of the map. He also defeats Barakiel and confesses his love for Akeno by taking her as his wife in the future (similiar to the confession to Rias during RG match in v10).


After the match. Ise alone was called by Ajuka. He talks to Azazel, Sirzechs, and Serafall through video message. They are still alive and kicking. This is still kept a secret from others. Obviously they would need supplies occasionaly since they are fighting Trihexa. Anyways Ajuka, Sirzechs, and Azazel had been planning to make a new group called ExE (also would be known as Exe) which will be like a FBI or MI6 of the DxD world. This team will be actually be formed in few years and they want Ise to become a member of that team and eventually the leader of it. They ask him to find strong allies in the future to make them join etc.

Also since the confession Akeno has been sticking beside Ise. She argues with Rias on who will take Ise's first time or who will bore his children first.

Two days later. The match up has been decided. But the two matchup which is being a hot topics are....

1. Team Ise vs Team Dulio
2. Team Sairaorg vs Team Cao Cao.

Elmenhilde appears at the end and says she wants to join Ise's group.

The End.

That's it. Sorry for the late posts. I went to sleep right after reading it.
Also DX3 will be coming out next. And Ishibumi has stated that DxD final story wont go past volume 30.

[Hakai]

This kinda gives me hope that they'll survive(pls Ishi)

Poor Barakiel though

Well even though there's no sex in this volume I'm still satisfied as far as the romantic development goes.

The hype level for the next fights is too damn high!

It seemed like an average volume before but damn life 5 filled with awesomeness.

[thefreakmike]

Damn I am actually more interested in seeing Team Sairaorg vs Team Cao Cao than Ise vs Dulio; also any word on who might be a part of Cao Cao and Dulio´s team? Also shi...... was actually kind of hoping this arc would go past volume 30 to be honest,I guess I can just hope the volumes are longer than usual, anyway this seems to be a very fun volume

Yeah!!! What took so long I wonder
Also, is Akeno the only one aside from Rais who Ise ACTUALLY confessed to? I don't count the usual "We will always be together" thing that Asia often says (sorry about thay :heh)
