Ah, so that means Ishibumi broke one of his own unwritten rules. Either that, or he's in a pressure to make Slash/Dog at least goes 3 volumes. Which makes sense, especially if he really plans to make Tobio immortal and integrate him to the extended ExE CT Team.

Where is there an unwritten rule that a sword can't be inside a Sacred Gear? Or is it just a fan assumption?

As for how long SlashDog will be: I heard on the DxD Universe Discord Ishibumi said he plans to make it 6 Volumes.

He very implicitly mentioned it in the early volumes of DxD that he wouldn't mix Legendary Swords with Sacred Gears, though again, as the series evolves, he needs more nonsensical handwaves and, well, ass-pulls to move the plot along, especially with the parallel, alien-verse overarching theme of New DxD.

Originally he planned at least 5 (he mentioned it on his blog), with a contingency of 3 volumes in case sales went down.

New DxD? If you mean Shin DxD, then isn't that True DxD? But yeah, I see your point. So he did break his own rule.

I don't remember him saying that. Was it in one of the afterwords?

Besides, he stuck Ascalon inside BG near the beginning, swords being sealed in gears isn't too odd.

Yes.

Technically, Ascalon is not "sealed" inside BG, more like being "stored" since it doesn't do either harm or malicious damage to Issei. And besides, it and Ama no Ohabari have very different nature in terms of being Holy Swords, the latter being specifically mentioned to have killed Kagutsuchi

Ame no Ohabari is not a Holy Sword. And the one it killed wasn't Izanami-no-Mikoto, but Hinokagatsuchi.

Hm, so Ishibumi changed the nature of that particular Totsuka-no-Tsurugi (well, it killed a god, so it's not exactly "Holy" per se)

Well, wiki says the same thing (and the same is written on JP wiki). "The totsuka sword used by Izanagi to kill his offspring, Kagu-tsuchi.[1] This one is also named Ame-no-Ohabari or Ama-no-Ohabari (天の尾羽張, lit. "sword of Takamagahara with blades on both sides of the tip")."

Yeah, and that's why I figured Ishibumi changed its nature from a Holy Sword in myth to become either a Demonic Sword, or a different type altogether (in which I tend to call these weapons "Divine Construct", Gungnir and Mjollnir being prominent examples)

Need more Lavinia!

It would be interesting if Ishibumi went into the Longinus possessors in depth.

I agree.

And hopefully we also see how she got over her fear of her power and mastered it. If she's already gotten over that fear. Seeing more of her backstory would be great.

@HenriqueMota97 Thx for the heads up. That is surprisingly fast if I must say. Not as fast as zxzxzx, but still fast.

Yeah, thanks for the link, Henrique.

And the chapter is good, I think. And it's funny how Natsume ended up sleep-walking into Tobio's bed this time, the same way Lavinia had in Volume 1. This time Sae was also there, although the misunderstanding thankfully didn't last for too long.

It's good to know about the changes that were apparently done to Sae's body from having that black lion Sacred Gear. If there's no danger to her health from it, it'd be even better.

Well Tobio's awakening his inner beast in more ways than one.

Will Ise defeat Rias' team with the ultimate dress break, or will he nosebleed himself to defeat first. Read the result in the upcoming Shin High School DxD 2: Battle of the Perverted King and Nudists Team.
