The last three episodes of season three were anime original what you see happen in episode zero is how it actually went down in the light novels/manga

So it was to fix what the last studio fucked up they had done other stuff to the previous seasons, but changing the ending of season three was what broke the camels back, which made them change studios

Bcuz that’s how the ending was suppose to be. S3 ending was messed up, so S4 fixed it. S3 ending didn’t follow the LN ending so S4 fixed it to make it like the LN.

But that’s not how the story was supposed to go how the author had written it

I understand that, but sometimes different is better in my opinion. Except for in Brotherhood that's nearly perfect.

From what I’ve heard, they made a new timeline from those last three episodes because Isa ends up having children with the other girls but then again, I don’t know the full story and it could just be a fanfic, but I’m pretty sure that those are official characters (isseis children)
And so season three is ending is Canon you will have to look it up from what I’ve also heard and what I’ve gathered is that season four happens because the main characters were warned about some thing happening in the future which made season four happen. Like I said, I don’t know for sure.

Kind of like how dragon ball Z’s timeline that we have now is not the original timeline, but one that got diverged in saved by future trunks

Let me know what you find out I’m curious to know I do think, though that his children are official characters, but at the moment for the light novel, they haven’t gotten to that in the light novel is what the manga and anime are based on. I will look it up quickly to see you also.

1. Yes this is canon to a certain point jut the difference in 3rd season was that issie never contacted another deity from different universe so therefore his children came to back to past to find future loki and bring him back and also change back the event so that issie finds the chichigami and this timeline meets the original.

I also love that the author took what the anime studio, did, and fixed it basically, just saying oh yeah, it’s a different timeline

It was such a strange episode? A weird half recap thing and then they had rewritten how Issei comes back from that incomplete transformation?

What was the use of that episode? Was it some type of promotion to show the new art style or something?

That's because the original studio behind Born completely fucked the story on that season, to the point that it skips major parts of the plot and over half of it is filler. Episode 0 of Hero was made to partially correct that by retconning the most filler part of the previous season, that is, the last 4 episodes.

I know right, I'm still holding out hope for a season 5. Because I want more of those characters and that story. I started watching it simply for the fan service but I had no idea how much I was gonna fall in love with the characters and the story.

I've never seen such episode style in other anume but the shift of studios and animation style changing, we can say it's more or less the makers choice.
Everyday I hope and wish that somehow a news will be up there about the new season for this anime. For me this anime is the best harem anime of all time out there. I don't know about you guys but it's the best. But unfortunately dxd is damn underrated. It has everything action, love, harem, amazing storyline and storytelling, musical banger and most of all full of fan services.

that's why it's the best Ecchi show out there with a brilliant story and fight scenes. And this is why I don't like watching Hent@i stuff instead watch ecchi

I also agree that the anime ending was better than the written material ending.

Also, we lost that original company’s beautiful art, just because people complained the ending wasn’t the same as what they read.

I dislike the new studios art (especially how bad the women look) and blame the whiners for causing this.

I actually think we would have had a season 5, if they didn’t complain so much, but I think they ruined this anime and ruined chances of a new season.

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Episode 0 was to retcon the latter half of S3 since TNK butchered the source material, this allowed S4 to bring the story back to where it is in the LN.

This is also accompanied by DxD EX: https://myanimelist.net/manga/100790/High_School_DxD_EX, where Ishibumi wrote a short story to retcon Born and to never touch S3 again.

If you're confused as to what happens in S4, please go and read volumes 5-7 of the LN
