I really wouldn't take any feat in Shin Volume 4 at face value. That goes for the whole series but this volume in particular really took it to a whole new level when Ishibumi had Sairaorg defeat Balberith because of 'stamina' when Sairaorg was using a form that shaves years off his life and because Balberith was somehow less powerful than he was in his offscreen battle against Mahabali and the Asuras because he tried to fight like Issei. |

on the sairaorg thing though i agree, it was dumb that somehow imitating issei made his punches massively weaker or how it somehow lowered his durability. |

Technically every top 10 except Hindu Gods and the combo Sirzechs/Ajuka is equal in raw power not being in order, without count the affinity and Hax abilities as seen with Ddraig vs Typhon where Boost and Penetrate did the difference to win easily. The problem is the fact Vali was nerfed, not taking in consideration the fact he was not in best conditions probably for the previous match with Prince Nezha. You fire an aura attack and Hades reflects easily it. Why do you continue to fight in this way rather than release the wyverns? ItÂ’s not even explained how Hades could see auraÂ’s attack, when an extremely skilled fighter close range as Crom that should have better reflexes could not seem them. Nezha only because was a technique type as Cao Cao using the instinct. Vali not even tried to blitz Hades using the speed that could be possible and release the wyverns to fight as with Nezha, firing from every angle and blinde spot, in this way would have won easily. There is even the lost of Verrine for resistance when could not blow away Akeno, Irina and co when she hit them. |

well vali was there for a good fight and his wyverns probably exert stamina, so deploying them only to get them destroyed is a waste when he probably did not knew what exactly where hades capabilities. and i dont think hades dodging vali aura blasts is as impossible as you think, he could simply be aim-dodging, since we know for a fact that one can predict armor-types actions by reading the flow of aura and hades might have this skill being old as hell and a magic-type, its just a matter of knowing when vali is going to fire via reading his aura and seeing where he is aiming his hand. to put simply, he is not dodging a bullet, he is moving out of the way before its fire so to speak. also, crom was taking them at close range wasn't he? it probably is harder to dodge from up close when the guy is zipping around you than when the guy is a far distance away and you can instantly teleport. and even then vali was landing hits, since hades was injured by the time everyone ganged on him. hades could simply use wide-scale attacks to counter though, the wyverns are not exactly sturdy and unlike nezha he has shown the power to simply nuke everything around him. on verrine fight i agree it was pretty bullshit, if the asura gods could not do squat against her then i fail to see how bunch of girls who are not even satan-class could hurt her, let alone land a hit. "holy power" is not an excuse when we have seen sairaorg no-sell durandal for a few seconds by flexing, and he was just ultimate-class. and there is how verrine didn't just go "fuck it" and started to go full touhou on them, raining aura attacks by the hundreds, after all rage quitting is fitting for someone who is basically a child. |

Why he didn't have Issei fight Verrine like he alluded to at the end of Shin Volume 3 and then fight Balberith directly afterwards is a mystery to me. He could have revealed their special abilities and said that Hades had ordered them during the Azazel Cup not to use those abilities unless they were facing an opponent they couldn't fight against without it. And then he could have had Issei fight Balberith and Balberith being too strong for him to defeat with Pseudo DxD. And then Ingvild comes along with the rest of the girls to sing the Oppai Dragon song and have the Heavenly Breasts resonate with Issei and allow him to unlock True DxD and finally beat Balberith. I'm sorry for the rant but Shin Volume 4 was just a mess in my opinion. |

Ishibumi Made Hades too overpowered just because was the final villain and had to be defeated from everyone. Furthermore he was the fucking final Villain and his fought was sometime waited for years and it obtains nothing of space. Even the shit fights of Verrine/balberith are more detailed. We do not know nothing about Hades and his abilities, about his magic staff or other. Furthermore I just do not understand why Issei did not fight with him, if it was necessary unlock T DxD, Hades was the better choice, in this way we would have obtained more screen time. Even now he obtains T DxD is totally illogic, just thinking at Oppai but with more intensity. Really? Something he does every day. I wanted the AjukaÂ’s version, with LilithÂ’s sacrifice to make everything more deep. But no, for issei everything has to go fine, when we know how DxD world is a shit. I agree this time for Ishibumi to have not leaved Verrine with Issei. First would have been easily being the Dragon Oppai with thatÂ’s ability able to speak with oppai, enough Hax against women. Furthermore when were presents Hades and Angra. Second issei has not so much stamina to fight two powerful enemies of that level. For Balberith was not possible for two reasons: first at this point he was totally obsessed with Dragon Oppai, so I do not think would have fought against issei. Then being nerfed would have been to weak to unlock T DxD because he did not want to use demoniac power. If was serious Balberith, Issei not even in T DXD may fight against Balberith, someone able to defeat easily Mahabali. Even I am pretty disappointed. Another stupid clichĂ© with Oppai. If Meredith could obtain the control of sacred gear users, why did not she do it with Issei? Rather than leave Oppai? Hades obtained few screen time, his abilities which are? as was overpowered. Verrine/Balberith nerfed because the second was too powerful. Ddraig/Albion/Crom could be used better. Angra that if has the ability to create dragons, knowing one day would have fought, he had to creat dragons since vol24/25. Not at the last minute because ishibumi did not think. Immagine if they had to fought against 30 fake dragons. Samael where is? Initially I was full of hype, but now knowing Shin 5 will be worse... until now all Shin is a delusion for me, except some moments as Ingvild’s introduction, Ddraig vs Crom, Tobio’s fight and Issei’s promotion. |

yeah, the way to obtain true DxD was terrible, we first are told that issei is too weak to get it but then that he is strong enough but needs ophis and lilith to resonate but in the end it was OPPAI again saving the day, at this point the "oppai miracles" joke is going to far, every time issei is losing there is no tension because we know he will pull out deus ex oppai from his ass and save the day. and agreed on the meredith thing, evil issei would of been a hundred times better than what we got, it would've worked especially well to unlock true DxD if they snapped him out of it whit some actual good moment, but knowing how things are lately they would probably return him to normal by showing his harem tits. a great longinus whit lots of potential plots, wasted and will never be useful again, samael who i wanted to see finally unleashed wasted too because ishibumi probably had no idea how to make issei win against him. hell, if not samael couldn't hades get other prisoners of cocytus? the place supposedly has many more, some legendary monster here, some titans there, an army of dangerous monsters, maybe make it so alpecca tyrant can affect other beings and then have it control them. but no, we had to waste time whit non-perverted issei doing the same joke again and again, and we had to see his fight whit angry mango who was yet another rossweisse clone instead of seeing whatever spooky shit hades had up his sleeve. not even an army of skeletons or necromancy, having hades and him not using even necromancy is heretical. i dont know if shin 5 will be worse, maybe the diehauser fight but i feel that the reason shin has been so lacking is because ishibumi wanted to get over whit it, i just get this feeling that he was tired of hades from the start and wanted to get him out of the way for ExE, which is pretty evident he is excited to write. who knows, maybe we will be wrong and ExE saga will be the best since so far it got a legit interesting fight whit mecha gamera vs vali and the descriptions of the evies are actually legit good. so if things continue this way this could be better than the gods of hell arc. not much to add to what you said about baalberith and verrine, them becoming much less durable suddenly was bullshit since even if you fight like a buffoon it does not make you any less durable. |

Honestly, I don't have much hope for Shin DxD 5 aside from the Sefaira situation and possibly more exposition on Seraselbes or FxF. The major reason is, I'm just scared that Diehauser will be able to negate the abilities of True DxD since that seems to be the only way he can take out Issei. It's a delicate matchup.
Aside from that, I still have hope for the rest of Shin DxD. FxF, Malebranche, Cross Times Kiss / XxX, Ophis vs Regalzeva, Vali vs Tobio, Ise vs Indra and then Vali, Ajuka and Shiva battles, etc. There's still a lot of potential for good stuff. Ishibumi has said he doesn't have much strength to write battles with his health issues but I hope it'll work out. He does tend to end arcs on a high, like Demonic Beast Riot and Evil Dragon War. |

dunno, diehauser does not neccesarily have to negate true DxD, its not like issei can enter it whit a mere thought or that he transforms at the start of the match. IMO if diehauser catches issei in cardinal crimson and keeps close he might be able to stop him from transforming since using worthlessness against CxC to stop it from going further should be possible. he could also be underhanded and run away from issei whenever he transforms into DxD via magic or one of his peerage members abilities.
and then there is the possibility of it not being a straight match, if its something like relic finding diehauser has no reason to really go to confront issei. |

Sure he is enough fast, but here we need ishibumi to say. Why a fighter from middle-long range as Him that technically has worse reflexes could do it? While Crom could not even see him? As for the attacks. I’m sure Crom is faster and has better reflexes. For Nezha ishibumi said something. The other problem is the screen time, near the the nothing ecc. The only think I’ve liked is the death of GR to create a certain “wow effect”. But If in some way will be still alive... Now I would like the death of someone, maybe a girl. All us know how DxD world is a fucking shit, but issei being the main character lives inside a Chrystal ball (plot) that protect him. Honestly I’ve alway thought since vol6 or 7 with the first apparition of Chichigami that ExE was the main focus of Ishibumi, all the rest was just necessary to reach it. I hate this, it was not necessary with all the potential of the world building (so many mythologies to see). Just hope the enemies will be not nerfed with the plot, not killing issei and co when possible ecc. as we know with every villain. Ps: I never thought about the titans and other beast sealed in Tartarus, counting Krono is so extremely powerful. |

on the other hand, regalzerva last time was sitting, i have a thanos feeling from it that he will send his lackeys one after another from weakest to strongest instead of just going there and genociding everyone. hell you dont even need to kill one of the girls for shock value, just have regalzerva go on a rampage on the human world and kill a few known characters, but i doubt they will do anything like that. yeah, cocytus seems like a place where at least one villain should've dropped by to steal from, rizevim who wanted to rally an army of evil beings not going there to free some new homies seems weird since he even put a lab in there. that is a winning condition, but it does not mean diehauser will charge at issei like a retard... okay it might happen again, but i can dream damn it! |

Somehow I could see Diehauser will target Issei's teammates first before fighting him directly maybe through defeating them or maybe sealing them through Invalidate and maybe other techniques though I could be wrong though. But well Ravel needs to shine in this match as its supposed to be her volume.

But yeah I agree Sirzechs is a monster in his own right with his abnormal Power of Destruction. The same goes for Ajuka. Last edited by Itsmepatrick; 2021-03-07 at 00:56. |
