Volume 21 ―― Lucifer of the Optional Attendance

――March 19, 2016

Looks like everyone is coming to fight. Sirzechs, Crom Cruach, even Kunou and Yasaka (also First Sun Goku and Yu-Long). Also we're getting a Balance Breaker party, featuring Canis Lykaon, Zenith Tempest, Absolute Demise (Lavinia!!), Regulus Nemea, Sephiroth Graal, Forbidden Invade Balor the Beast, True Longinus, Divine Dividing and Boosted Gear.

We are ―― me and Issei, together forever.

So, Issei.

Do not cry――.

―Infinite Dragon Ophis

I won't be back for several hours, sorry. Just saw on the wikia that the quotes were up and wanted to provide some info quickly.

[Chichiryuushintei]

... Dang, only a handful of quotes this time?

Although I am curious about what Sephirot Graal's BB is.

No, there's a lot more. I just don't have time to translate it tonight so I picked out the most interesting info really quickly. Hope for B214 or someone else to post more details later. Or I'll get to it in the morning.

My man Issei gets back up.
This is going to be a good volume after all.

[LowCholesterol]

Never say goodbye....

aaaand Ishibumi decided to add Lavinia into DxD verse.

[B214]

The last few lines by Ophis, the death vibe in it.

[Ruki0089]

We are ―― me and Issei, together forever.
So, Issei.
Do not cry――.

Ise crying ? Now who is gonna die anyway in this volume...

probably Ophis or Lilith.

[LowCholesterol]

but hey, did Sakra decided to help DxD?

[Chris38]

Personally I doubt that Ophis is going to die ... after all she is a resident of the Hyodou mansion, which ... I believe gives her some degree of immunity against dangerous situations .

Lilith though ... might be a different matter...

But I still have some hope that it's just going to turn out being some relationship building between Ophis and Ise and it's not going to turn out as serious as it sounds to be when we learn the surrounding context of that quote...

[Bigmac]

Wasn't Ophis meant to die like 10 volumes a go until the author changed it? It sounds to me like Ophis is dying and saying they are together forever because of the Ophis power/conciousness that is inside of him? I wonder if Ophis will die and Lilith ends up living at the Hyoudou residence in her place while retaining some memory.

I hope this isn't the case though as I wanted to see some interaction with the twin lolis.

[DOmus]

So, who is Lavinia? Forgot about this series when volume 20 was being translated, is a character that has already been revealed or not?

[Bigmac]

She's a character from SlashDog I think, one of Tobios/SlashDogs companions.

[Stark700]

Hoping the fighting in this volume will memorable. I have a feeling this volume will get a bit dark....

Don't worry, your translation is much more appreciated than my lousy ones.

Shit. Shieeeeeet
This better be just red herring like the case with Ise's parents in V20 preview


Apophis and Azi are stronger than Rizevim?
Well it was said that Azi is Crom level( probably before his training)

Seems like it's going to Vali vs Azi and Ise vs Apophis

And Va-Kun?!!

Not just Ophis. But there are other several other characters with deathflag. I doubt all of them would die. There had been many deathflags in previous preveiws and no-one had died yet from the good guy's side. So we can only hope Ophis survives.
