She's only memorable because Ishibumi shove her at the fans hard.

That's the main reason why i dislike her. Ishibumi expanded her so much that others get butchered just to show how different she is from Asia with her fighting.

Exactly.

Now on to a different topic, do you guys think we'll finally get to see the last few Pawns for Sona and Sairaorg now that an international Rating Game is announced.

We know Sona has 3 more Pawns and Sairaorg has 1 Mutation Pawn Piece left.

[Hakai]

Yeah both Airi and Ex took most of the spotlight, I guess they inherited this from their mothers

For pawns, yes I think we'll see them with international RG coming, both of them are the main 'rivals' of team Gremory so I'd expect them to get some focus in there.

Especially looking forward to Sairaorg's mutation pawn.

[DragonOsman]

I see where B214 is coming from, but I have to add that Airi was written to be the strongest of the children, IIRC, and it was also said that she's the leader. When it's just the boys, the leader is probably Ex because he's red/crimson, but when all of the combat-oriented children fight together, Airi is the leader. That might be the reason she was given more spotlight.

Anyway, about the newer discussion. I too really want to see Sona's other Pawns and getting to see Sairaorg's Mutation Pieces used would also be good.

[Chichiryuushintei]

Ex was just one book. Sharing screentime for all of them would just make all of them forgettable.

[Wiredotaku84]

My theory on how Issei could obtian light powers in the future
Issei’s Dad is at the local shrine despratly praying with all of his heart for his unborn child to be born healthy, the shrine God is moved by how much he loves his unborn child and decides to help by transfering a small dormant portion of his power to Issei in order to give him the strengh to be born.
Years later the shrine God decides to leave because of the rise of devil and fallan angel activity in the town and the shrine eventually gets sold to Rias who gives it to Akeno.
Since Issei is a human who given a smmal amount of the God for protection he reads as human to the evil pieces but since the Gods powers there it nerfs his devil power.
The small amount of Gods power eventally starts to wake up and grow under the infulence of the evil pieces, boosted gear, ophis and great red until it evolves into Crimson light.
My past theorys fell through because I over thought them and mixed up my facts so this time I wrote It down first and checked it with the facts I know of Highschool DxD to trim off the rough edges .

Will Ishi give actual names for Ise's parents?

I don't see why that's even relevant

Question I have been out of the loop since around vol 15, is the series ending because vol 22 is called graduation? Or will it just shift outside of the school.

Vol 22 is not the last volume. Graduation is for Rias and Akeno

[B214]

Not sure where to put this so i'll place it here.

I think Volume 24 will feature Rias vs Vali. The next volume most probably focuses on Koneko and Kuroka will most probably be featured along with her just like Xenovia and Irina.

[katokateki]

Rias vs Vali? Because Vali was excited to fight Crom? Well, I too think that Ise vs Vali should be a bit more special. Maybe Ise fights Indra...

[DragonOsman]

I wonder what would happen if Ise and Rias fight in the Cup. Ise said he'll give it his all and Kiba also said to Ise that if they have to fight, he won't hold back. I hope Ise wins, but I'm not sure if he'll really attack Rias. Dress Break? She'd nearly kill him later for the embarrassment that would bring her, though, so I hope he won't use it.

It'll mainly depend on what strategies each of the two teams brings to the table. Can Ise and Ravel come up with one good enough to beat Rias' team?

Rias and Vali, I think, can go either way. Vali is stronger than Rias (well, so is Ise, but yeah), but Rias also has Mr. Black who is likely Crom Cruach. If he's Crom Cruach, Vali will have to use DxD L against him like he did against Azi Dahaka. But again, this, too, will depend on what strategies each of them comes up with. I just hope Vali's battle maniac brain is good at coming up with strategies, too ().

[katokateki]

I guess Arthur(was it?) could help Vali make plans. But yeah, Ise vs Rias in the end comes down to who will make Rias retire.

And days before the match, Grayfia and Venelana train Rias and Akeno in how to control your husband.

[DragonOsman]

So, what, it'll be a battle that mixes a serious fight with a wife trying to control her husband? Sadomasochism in the middle of a fight?

It'll be a repeat of the Satan Red and Grayfia situation.

Satan Red comes forward, as if he made up his mind and stands across from Grayfia-san….he then kneels down.

“I’m sorry, it is my fault.”

--He lost!

The strongest Maou…..lost to his wife! I knew about it, but still this is.......

Replace Satan Red with Sekiryuutei, Grayfia with Rias.

[katokateki]

Rias won't stop Ise from fighting. She has her pride. She would be offended if Ise didn't attack her with all his strength and that is when she would become Grayfia and the situation would get interesting.

[DragonOsman]

That's exactly what he means, though? He's just using that quote as an example of a time when Grayfia was able to control and overwhelm Sirzechs. Sirzechs is stronger, but he still fears his wife. I can see the same thing happen with Ise and Rias. Still, I just hope the fight in the Cup won't show that.
