I'm really enjoying this series, and this ep was no exception. Koneko's defeat seemed a little premature for my liking since Rias said that she can defend against any attack earlier on in the series.
A restorative tear that instantaneously heals any wounds sounds like cheating, even with Asia there Akeno wouldn't of had enough time to heal so I guess that is just one more way that they are disadvantaged in to begin with.
And Kiba just went from a decent fighting knight to an awesome knight with an interesting ability.
Are you enjoying the time of EVE?

Wtf, that's not how Boosted Gear Gift works.
Issei is suppose to transfer his accumulated Boosts to his teammates.
They will get a large and temporary powerup from it. Kiba was suppose to be the one to unleash that UBW attack from Sword Birth. That's why the gear said Transfer.
Meh, Sword Birth was pretty awesome. I choked though when the subs said Sword of Betrayer *wink wink*

I gotta wonder who was the one who has the phoenix tear in Issei's end as in a Rating game, each team are suppose to get a portion to be used. Part of the strategy is who will use it. Or did Rias already use it(wasn't mentioned in LN.)
Then again, this is just an unofficial match since Rias isn't yet able to participate in real matches and they weren't given one. Pretty one sided and unfair match, both from the rules standpoint and the numbers/strength of the team.

Good thing the preview didn't show much coz it would really spoil things. I've been waiting for next episode ever since I've read it. Shit can't wait for it.
Time to crash the party.

Epic episode is epic. Can't wait to see how Issei will handle this situation. He's gonna need one hell of a power up to take Phoenix down. Say what you will about him, but Phoenix is one badass mofo.

I doubt that Rias is getting married next episode. I feel like that doesn't even need to be said. Issei's going to sulk for a while then the rest of the group will build him back up and they'll go crash the place.

Great episode :D

Issei ultimately failed in the end, but gave it his all :).

Next episode looks like the typical why did I lose, then somehow beat the unbeatable using my loss as a learning curve thing.

Phoenix is a badass, even if he is a crap excuse for a human being, guess that what happens when you have immortal genetics.

I wonder that comment Phoenix made on accidental deaths being allowed will hold any weight. It's pretty clear that he was planning to kill Issei, even going so far as saying he will be incinerated beyond recognition. Sounds like it should be an automatic disqualification to me.

My thoughts in the end: Bitch, Y U NO move out of the way T_T, issei could have absorbed the blast probably.
If not i may have misunderstood what his new booster does lol.
He's the main character, that makes him more immortal than the other dude.

I like this Anime, but it could be changed a little more. THe Pervyness of the Protag really gets me mad. But if they develop him and he starts to change more away form the pervyness and wanting a harem then I will love this show more. Right now I don't want this to end, but having a feeling it doesnt seem to be that popular. I still have hopes.

I guess you missed the fact that Issei had pushed his body to the current limit to the point that any further boosts would only damage him from the inside. Then you have the fact that the Gremory care deeply for their servants. It's in their nature. Add to that the fact that she CLEARLY has feelings for him. It would have been strange if she HADN'T surrendered then. Phenix was going to deal enough damage to Issei so that no ammount of healing could save him.

Awesome ep. Sad I will have to wait a week to see the next ep and the next will be the last from this season (hope there will be more seasons).

It was a bit dissappointing that they lost after all they did, but would be strange if they won because they were at cleary disadvantage.

And that phoenix said he was going to kill issei, even knowing killing there is illegal if it isn't an accident lol.

I'ma a bit dissaointed by how Boosted Gear is depicted here, dem boosts are kinda ridiculous with dat enrish voice. Other than that, it was rather well done, especially transfer to Sword Birth.
Can't wait for next ep though, done well should be epic.

Agreed plus the plot is just ridiculous. Seriously they had it going pretty all right at the beginning and then it deteriorated into this simple and stupid girl doesn't want to marry guy affair.

Aww that last scene really spoiled an otherwise very entertaining and great episode.

Absolutely loved Issei's sudden "thousand swords" attack, very pleasantly surprised. Was certain he would pull some sort of upgraded AoE version of his cloth breaker, not at all expecting those girls to be fully pierced by blades like that, quite graphical and almost as entertaining though.

Also I must say, even though Issei is the typical "weak-harem-hidden power-protagonist" which usually is so obnoxious, I'm actually liking him more with each episode.
Very touching when he displayed a true warriors heart, unwavering willingness to fight until death.. too bad that Rias had to interrupt and totally ruin his moment -.-'

Obviously that stumble was just a feint to pull the Phoenix guy away from his mage support (^.^)

It's too much unclear either Issei's new power just channel sacred gears through himself to amplify their power or if it's actually saved in his dragon booster so that he could use it whenever he want.
Issei's body is at his limit and conveniently we got a sacred gear that focus on healing so I thought that maybe if Issei can save twilight healing in his sacred gear he could power up as much as he want since he'll be instant regenerating at the same time. Basically he'll have stronger power than anyone while having phoenix's regeneration.

Boosted Gear Gift. Like it says, Gift as in giving. It's suppose to give power to his teammates. You know how the Gear goes 'Boost' and Issei gains power. This new power is suppose to 'Transfer' those Boosts to his comrades, in this case Kiba.
Gift can also amplify a single attack. While it looks like BG absorbed Kiba's attack and released it, the truth is Issei just increased the power of that single attack by transferring his power to it, hence the BG saying 'Transfer'.

I swear when the boosted gear "changed" it looked as if it was part of a combat suit.
Maybe it is? I highly doubt it but it would be pretty bad ass to have a dragon like power armor.

Absolutely awesome ep, the action in this series was just great, and one hell of a cliff hanger at the end. Gotta hand it to this show for really pulling things together and making this a very bad ass show.

I agree with Yume on the fan service bit. This series would have a 9 right now if they brought down the ecchi for the more serious moments, I did not agree with how they handled Asia's drama scene.

Awesome episode! Issei was bad ass in this one (except for tripping at the end...) Can't wait till the next episode to air. You know Issei is going to use the boost gear to the next level and pwn Raiser at the wedding. I'm looking forward to it and I hope there is a second season that follows.

Raiser is quite a boring guy, using his advantages as a Phoenix to torment his opponents.

If Rias didnt stop Raiser maybe Issei boosted gear could crash him down.
