High School DxD Light Novel - EX Sidestories Discussion

[amtro]

I'm not going to police discussion, I just don't want to come to this thread to find that some jackass is posting about completely unrelated shit for the enth time. This thread is meant to be what the other discussion thread became. Discuss everything that has to do with EX here.

@Ariel: Yeah, BorN and EX didn't show two Lokis, that's indeed true. But we still know that there's one Loki who came from the future.

Yep. The future Loki's appearance is the fact that won't change (in EX, that is.)

[Ariel_Saeba]

I'm curious about these lines (these were B214's spoilers which was posted in the wiki, permission to post it here)

Spoiler for B214's Spoilers:

I finally meet those people! Now, i'll just have to begin disposing off those 『○○』！　Amen it is！――A chestnut haired ○○ with Angel and Dragon wings.

Proceed the plan without hesitation. This is all for our God――【メルヴァゾア】さまのお導きだろう。――《○○七曜》レッズォ・ロアドの『四将』ルマ・イドゥ ラ (Once again dunno)

[DragonOsman]

We already know the answers for those (except for the gender of Irina's kid) because Jopjopjop later gave us the spoilers that had the information missing from that spoiler that B214 had posted. Just go and take a look in the thread about "other topics" related to HS DxD where we've been talking about EX before this thread was created.

Irina's kid is probably a boy, too, since all of Ise's children so far have been boys except for the Nekomata kids because it seems like Nekomata can only ever be female. It'd be good if I'm proven wrong about Irina's kid also being a boy, though.

So is it true that hes basically retconning season 3 of dxd? That would be amazing, i actually started to hate everything about dxd after watching the final 3 episodes of the last season.

[Chichiryuushintei]

It probably won't be mentioned or relevant again but it still happened. So not a retcon.

Season 3 is more just a retelling so it isn't true canon to the series. The only real canon in this case is volumes 5-7

[Malicre]

thats amazing, this news made my day.

[DragonOsman]

You should already have known that the anime isn't canon. In the case of the DxD series, the LN is canon. The events shown in BorN were just the result of Future Loki coming back to the past and changing it to his liking. The EX side-story is meant to fix that and to cure Asia's curse which was placed by Loki in the future.

yeah i know its not cannon but seeing rias go completely out of character like that and the subtle NTR that happened ruined dxd in general for me. I am hoping that they don't ruin season 9/10/11/12 if they happen.

It is canon just as much as EX is canon. It's an alternate timeline, but yeah, still pretty canon.

Considering that all of BorN was done mostly for the sake of promoting the LN (and EX) which didn't work, (unless someone can show me that there was a significant increase in sales of the older volumes) I doubt there'll be something similar again.

They also immediately said a few hours/days after episode 12 aired that if there's a next season it'll be done like the others, adapting only 2 volumes.

And going by the BD sales (6.5k per volume up to now) it's certain that there'll be another season. So at least v10 is confirmed to be animated. A season 5 is very unlikely though.

Season 5 most likely will be after two years after season 4 . TNK will deplete all their money in order to animate V10 decently .
Also i believe Season 5 will be tha last one ..... if they will not introduce chichigami through another point which is more unlikable .

Back on the topic i hope in the next EX volumes to find out more about GR , Ophis and Fafnir

The thing is, if the anime follows the rule of always selling less than the previous season (which happens to the vast majority of seasonal anime) I don't think there'll be enough profit for a Season 5. But I said it's unlikely not impossible. If you like having hope for this kind of stuff, go ahead, miracles happen and stuff.

But yeah, if there's a Season 5 it will (read it as "should") be the last one for sure.

Those are the things that need an explanation the most. How in the fuck those people (who, by the way, according to the summary are as strong a Chief Gods, therefore not even a joke to Great Red) got past GR and how Loki was able to even touch Asia before Fafnir tore him to shreds?

[DragonOsman]

Either something happened to Fafnir, or the curse Loki put on Asia was the kind that he could cast while not being in the same room as her. It seems kind of unlikely, though, since Loki would have had to be around the premises long enough to be noticed at least (since Ise's kids also know that Loki put a curse on Asia). I guess he could just have gone close to their house and then cast the curse. They all sense his aura and are able to tell that he did something. Then they notice what happened to Asia, and then it goes from there.

If it was like that why not just cast the curse on everyone? Besides, I'm pretty sure Ise's house would have some heavy protection in the future with the OP alchemy that was shown up to now in EX. And if they could sense his aura, well, he'd be atomized, and not in a condition of being able to travel back to the past.

[DragonOsman]

I guess that's true. He did seem to want to target just Asia, though. Maybe thought he could get the healer out of the way and everything else would go smoothly. Villains tend to make mistakes like if they get overconfident in their powers. I don't know for sure, though, so I guess it's best to wait for more of EX to come out.

Apparently EX takes place during V7-8

well, it's explain why azazel say kids stronger than their parrent

[DragonOsman]

Yeah, they're only stronger than their parents' V7-8 selves. It actually does kind of make sense if you think of it like that.
