I just realized where the author got the name "Vali" from. I've known about him since I was a child when I was in Thailand. Vali is a character from "Ramayana" aka "Rama's Journey", the Hinduism epic about Rama who is the avatar of Vishnu going at war against the demon king of Lanka (Tamils of Sri Lanka, probably, quite a racist epic), Ravana.
Vali is a son to the Hinduism god of war "Indra" who is also the equivalent of "Jade Emperor" in Chinese myth. Vali has ability to halv his opponent's power and absorb that power for himself. There was a time when Ravana who has the greatest strength tried to kidnap Vali's son, only to be beaten like ant by Vali. And became toy for Vali's son for awhile as punishment. He is probably one of the strongest character in the tale who died very early because... Well, you could find out yourself. His name is spelled "Pali" in Thai and Bali so I didn't realize at first. But his sacred gear's ability bugs me so I just googled it. I can't believe the author would also use Hinduism as his source. I just hope he won't piss me off by making Hinduism gods look like Eldritch Abominations like Persona series always do, since those gods are worshiped in Thailand, and we don't want to be like the Japs who wouldn't hesitate to use Jesus and Mohammed as hentai... BTW, if there is top ten strongest beings ranking in High School DxD, would Vali be one of it, if so which ranking is he on? |

Wow nice find! I'm going to search it afterwards and read it. So Vali is based on an actual myth..... That I never expected. Vali probably isn't in the Top 10. Yet. In volume 3, Zenovia states that Vali is about 4th or 5th strongest in the Fallen-angel group. Strongest being Azazel followed by Akeno's father. And Azazel is equal or stronger then Sirzechs, and Vali also states that Sirzechs isn't in the top 10. But I'm quite positive that Zeus, Hades, and Indra are in the Top 10. Of course Opfus is well. @fazri I think that's why Michael gave the sword Ascalon to Ise. But it seems like they both use a different method when using Balance-Breaker. Vali consumes his magic when in Balance-breaker, and Ise consumes his stamina. Vali his enormous magical power because of his background and Ise has basically zero magical powers. That's why Ise's stamina gets consumed when he is in his balance-breaker form. @Kazandu In terms of magical power and speed Vali has more advantage. In terms of power and stamina Ise seems to have the upper hand now.

But if Vali can halve his opponent's strength and use it for himself, wouldn't he be really powerful against anyone who face him since they'll lose halve of their power immediately? Vali in Ramayana is unrivaled if fight one-on-one. Well, I guess battle is more than just raw power...
BTW, in Ramayana, it's Rama who lead monkey army to fight against Ravana who lead demon (yaksha) army. There are more than one monkey king in that tale including Vali. Yes, Vali is the monkey king as well as his younger brother who is the son of Surya (Son god) and Hanuman (Rama's best soldier). |

My other intuition also said Ise will get an interaction with the "Great Red", maybe then he will have same power with Ophus if Ophus is the final boss. After all Great Red and Ophus all called DxD right and these novel is High School DxD Oh Ise hasn't perfected the Queen mode yet? And it is based from Freedom? Then maybe King mode will be like 00 Raiser lol. Oh yeah i don't know if Juggernaut can be used as same time with that Illegal Tirana if it can be used together...then maybe the gap with Vali will be nil ? |

Yes. But similar to Ise's Boosted Gear, there's also a limit for Vali's Divine Dividing. Vali is always in his strongest form because he takes in half of the opponents power. Ise used his Boosted Gear Gift on Vali which screwed up Vali's Divine Dividing for a moment. And the monkey king's descendant, Son Goku (Monkey King), is in Vali's group. So the author is definitely using the myth you mentioned. @SvNto7 In this novel anything is possible and they introduce new myths and legends every time. King mode. I personally wish it would look like Zweizergain from SRW. Except its Red. The "Queen" mode is the opposite of "Juggernaut-Drive". Juggernaut uses up the possesors life is an energy source. Vali can control it for a while without using his lifespan with his magical powers. Ise lost 99% of his lifespan when he went to Juggernaut-drive in volume 6. Thats why Azazel suggested to Ise to master his Boosted Gear from a different perspective. That's why Ise(from the help of others) gained access to Trianina and Crimson-Promotion(Queen). So Ise won't use Juggernaut drive anymore.

Come to think of it, it's not like Hindu gods are saints anyway, most of them are selfish to betray the nagas when creating the liquid of immortality to keep imortality to themselves anyway, Sheva is the supreme god who always bring trouble to everyone with Vishnu having to fix it, but I can't stand seeing Brahman look like a monster in Persona as well as Sheva being 2 female gestalts for Snow in FFXIII. |

Everyone worried about their English. Let me explain something. I live in the Southeastern United States. And most of you guys speak English much better than some Americans. Believe me. XD
If the writer is willing to tap into every major religion then he will have the potential to create several different types of characters, creatures, and enemies. I like the possibilities. Also, I'm looking forward to Volume 11 now that Ise and Rias are dating. I can't help but wonder if they'll go on a date or finally do something about that pesky virginity of hers. :3 |

Unfortunately they make Hades and Loki look like evil Gods, while making Zeus, Poseidon and Loki good. Sakra, also known is Indara, seems like an antagonist is well since he knows CaoCao, True-Longinus possessor, for a long time and kept it a secret from others. @dannclark I'm not sure how many people they are but there are at least 4 factions in the Chaos Brigade that I know of. 1.) Vali's Team. Consists of Vali, Bikou (Son Goku's decendant), Kuroka(Koneko's sister), Arthur Pendragon(King Arthur's descendant), Luffy(Arthur's sister), Fenrir and Gogmagog. 2.) The old-Satan faction. Descendant's of the old Satan's and their servants. 3.) Hero Faction. They are all human but majority can use Balance-Breaker. The leader is CaoCao. 4.) The magician faction. Appeared in short stories. @Tom1 They are trying to form alliance. Norse has made alliance with the devil/angel/fallen-angel. Greek not sure yet. It's said that Opfus and Great Red are the strongest dragons. And Opfus is said to be the strongest. But Opfus became the boss of Chaos Brigade to take the world Great Red lives in indicating that he can't do that by himself. Also Vali said that he wants to fight the Great Red the most. So at this point I'm not actually sure yet. @Bear Killer Apparently Ise and Rias are a couple which makes the people around them blush. Stated by Azazel in end of volume 10.

About two great dragons, it said that orpeus want to live in a space and that space is occupied by great red that means they actually have same power but when orpeus is stated the strongest in the novel then that means great red maybe slightly lower but if two exchange blow it will be dreadful. (so that means great red is number 2 strongest) Aw n0m@n is post before me > . < @n0m@n: About goddess oppai, can you spoil me about when Ise met her messenger, i think this goddess will be a key to evolve Ise skill further. It seems that almost entire occult club is moving to Ise's home, how about Kiba is he moving in as well? I'm imagining how big Ise bedroom and bathroom as all girl wanna sleep and bath with him, well maybe he can open a onsen at his home? lol and have a super royal size of bed. |

Ouroboros is the being from Hinduism btw. We now have at least 2 beings from Hinduism. Jade Emperor is also a Chinese version of Indra (Jade Emperor is usually depicted as non-action guy while Indra is the god of war, but they both is the same god). Unlike most cultures, Chinese and Hindu tales usually have human and other beings who can wage a war against an entire army of gods, and should have won if not for some DeusExMachina. The Garuda King simply beat an entire army of gods like ants, then fight against Indra with no trouble, even Vishnu, the supreme god of Hindu couldn't settle a score with him, he won Garuda over by negotiation. Then there are a few yakshas and demon kings, who one of them would come out of hell to destroy the world for fun once in a while, only to be challenged by an entire army of gods and allied with full arsenal, against an enemy. In Hindu, gods can be compared to angels, while yakshas (primary enemies to gods) can be compared to fallen-angels since yakshas originated from gods who fell. Nagas who exist in the underworld (underwater) can be compared to demons. And the situation is a bit different that the gods don't really give a damn about yakshas and nagas, but yakshas and nagas hold a grudge against gods, since gods kicked yakshas out of the heaven and gods lured nagas and yakshas to help them create immortality liquid and betrayed them to keep those for themselves. BTW, there has never been a major war between the 3 factions and the king of all nagas is the faithful companion/friend/servant to Vishnu, while some yakshas are really nice people. If it's something like war, it's more like a really powerful being just got bored and want to do something cool like beating up gods, sink the whole world, trying to kill all beings etc. which they usually succeeded until Vishnu came to kick their ass. There are *normal* humans (usually hermits, or yogis) who are too powerful that the reason why they never wage war against gods like demons are because they just want to live in peace. No one actually dare to piss them though, and there are countless of them just like the stars in the sky...

@SvNto7
Ise talks to her in volume 7 during the fight with Loki. She appeared inside Akeno's breast. Kiba and Gasper lives in a apartment nearby. Girls only lol. Well they indeed have a big bath, sauna and indoor pool. After Ise's house get renovated, it has up to 6th floor, and has 3 floors down the basement. That's 9 floors all together. @Kleeyook So much stuff that I didnt know about...... I definitely have to research about them.

Sounds like Ise is already on his way to being Harem King if he has so many beautiful women living in his house. Does he share a bed with anyone besides Asia and Rias though?

It will be wonderful if two old friend of Ise coming to his home and see that many girls gathering, they will be pissed i think and want to asassinate Ise lol. This pic: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/in...dxd_v5_223.jpg It is the 1st time Ise will touch Rias nipple? From my perspective they are in party...why Ise want powered up? And when ise going to Kyoto, Rias is staying at home right? For what reason?

Yeah, the main difference between Judaism, Christianity, Islam compared to Hinduism and Buddhism is reincarnation. Almost every beings in the world of Hinduism will die, then rebirth except a few like Anata Naga, the naga king who will exist for eternity (he must be really bored). The most important being in the world is human imo, since only human can reach nirvana (out of the reincarnation loop), something that even gods can't do. And every beings can be reincarnated into another being in the next life depend on their karma. If it's RPG then human is a novice/base character before we select class...
And like in High School DxD, there are powerful humans who can fight on par with god army. Although all human in Bible wouldn't stand a chance against lesser demon or angel. |
