I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually LOVED this episode. The episode was intense as fuck from the start. I had a smile on my face throughout the episode as well! Great action, just great stuff overall. Can't wait for the next one.

Well I think we can agree it's the best episode of the season. (except Koneko fanservice moe episode of course :P)

Sometimes I wonder if this anime is better without fanservice.... some of the great moments are disrupted by the fanservice and was kind of funny and out of the place. Although the fanservice adds some realism to the fight where your clothes would be torn up during that situation.

Also I'm kind of confused with Khaos Brigade, so their objective is to fight the DxD, yet they're a terrorist group? Also he helped people like Asia and in the end saved the Rias Gremory Household. So is he really a terrorist? To me they seems like the nice guy treated to be the bad guy....

Also Diodora was pathetic... maybe he got sent to that weird Dimensional Gap, for him to die so easily is a shame, so maybe yeah he survived.

That Shalba also killed way easily, although Juggernaut Drive seems to be quite good answer to why that happened.

Even though I don't really like Asia, I like how Issei cared about her, protecting her and her dreams. Nice good episode.
It's only the goal of Ophis and Vali to beat Great Red. The other remaining faction is up to something else, but it won't be covered this season.

lol Issei really sucks at drama. But damn I really love it when he looses it like that and beats everyone shitless. It's the feeling I get when I see Naruto get taken over by nine-tails and beat the shit out of everyone.

So who's the real villain in this show really? I thought it was Vali but then he got all chummy with Issei and then there's Orphis.. a freaking loli. Anyway I wonder what happened to Issei.

The real person pulling strings might be foreshadowed at the end of this season or in a BD extra scene. If not, you'll see them next season.

Sirzechs and Vali both too damn OP. They need to chill the hell out.

I felt really bad for Issei in the beginning. The despair in his eyes ...

And it looks like Asia's prayer has partly came true thus far, being saved on a whim.

Best episode. Vali is a nice guy.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Fear is a little bit far fetched, it's more like fighting Sirzechs would result in mutual destruction at best.

All these cheap drama is rather annoying and cringe-worthy. But I like Issei's massive power up. Although kinda expected that cliche scene where Rias, by the power of her words and tears calmed monster Issei down.

I like how the story is trying to be all dramatic, serious, emotional and stuff, and then at the same time they're naked and Rias is pressing her boobs into Issei's face. The hell is the point? So bad =_=

Like seriously I keep asking myself why DxD is even an ecchi anime sometimes. The fanservice is so unbelieveably out of place and poorly timed. Never ceases to make me facepalm at how stupid it is. Either make it a fantasy/action series only or just focus on the fanservice... but please don't try to do both, it just doesn't work. Like at all

Friggin' epic rampaging episode!
Issei has totally lost it! but he regained his sanity by the help of Vali.
Damn Vali, didn't even made a sweat beating-up Issei to wake up and have his senses back! But Rias is totally the one who helped save Issei.
So there is a ture Great Red Dragon, and Vali's Mission is conquering it to become the Great White Dragon God Emperor?
So...Ophis is the leader of the Khaos Brigade...also a dragon...cool (pettanko nipples covered by two "X" black tapes) NICE!
Shalba Beelzebub looked like a weakling against the raging Red Dragod Emperor Issei.
Creuserey Asmodeus was easily obliterated by the hands of Sirzechs...wicked!
Asia is also saved by Vali.
Issei went beyond his limits again and what happened to his left arm?
5/5.

This adaptation continues to disappoint. Just changing the little details of what occurred in the LN start to really stack on top of one another... I suppose that if one had only seen the anime this could've been pretty good, but I just keep sighing because I know what it could've been...

Geez, people are complaining way too much... just sit back and enjoy the damn show.

Personally I thought it was an awesome episode. That giant dragon at the end seems pretty silly though. I love the new loli, Ophis.

EDIT: That said, the title of the series finally makes sense. DxD = Dragon of Dragons

EDIT2: Or maybe I'm totally wrong and it means Demons and Dragons...

lol that furious Xenovia oppai :D and lol again at Xenovia hitting Issei while she hugs Asia :D

They changed a little, but it may be for the better. No oppai song and only Rias making Issei come back is better, but she should take off her dress and show him oppai instead of being hit by him and 'dressbreaked', there should be Bikou laughing at this :D

That Ophis screen ;o I didn't want to see that :S naked loli my eyes hurt I am blind ;(
unfortunately for the first time I must say it, the graphic art after 20 minute of episede were awfully bad. Some faces even Rias or Rossweise for example looked different, bad and distorted! it is like some new novice graphic team finished this chapter in a hurry, I hope they fix it in BD version


oh yeah and what was this Ophis taking out from Issei? and how she did that? Was that some poison from Raynare? I don't remember this in LN

don't think it is about Dragon of Dragon, but it can be about Demons and Dragons and also double D breast size
I am not sure if author ever confirmed this. It is same as with BorN - few meanings.

Last couple episodes were booooorring!
However this one was much better, I adore dragons and thanks to Asia getting sent to that miasma looking place (so NOT actually dead... dammit) we got to see Issei really lose it and turn into one (yay!)

Don't really know who all these new antagonists are or what they want (two dead already, so obviously not as powerful or important as they seemed at first), I haven't really been following the story since halfway through DxD New, from then on I've really only been into the series for the ecchi and fight scenes (more so fight scenes). Dunno if anyone else feels this way but either the story is too complicated or I'm just not interested anymore (one of these two, can't figure that out either :P ).

Vali is 100% my favorite in the series, I knew he was stronger than Issei but after this it's obvious he's on a whole other level compared to pretty much every other character.

Again, why the f* was Raynare showing up? From what Ophis said, it sounds as if she was actually inside Issei or something and was affecting him negatively... but she died AGES AGO at the start of season one and this has only just started happening. If Ophis could sense this Raynare soul or whatever it was and then soon after remove it, why was nobody else able to do so before now?
It doesn't bug me as much as I make it sound, it just feels like they pulled an old tool out of the box and used it to fill in the episode instead of having a longer, better Vali x Issei dragon battle (which would have been SOOOOO much more enjoyable).

Also, gotta love how this show handles plot points and characters. Shalbas sends Asia into the whatsit for no reason and gets beaten in just a few minutes. Just another character to appear out of nowhere and say a bunch of vague, meaningless things. I haven't read the books, but the plot here is terribly paced and badly put together. Although, considering the art and animation, at least the quality is consistent across the board.

Mod Note: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. I have removed some major plot spoilers from the later discussion in this episode thread. Deliberately posting a major plot spoiler or death spoiler may be considered trolling and can be treated accordingly.

As I said last episode, I really had high hopes for this one....and it delivered. Not only did we get Issei going to the wall for Asia, we had Rias demonstrating that she would rather die with Issei than live without him. This is a very tightly knit group and even those who aren't part of the harem still obviously feel deeply about the other members of the family.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Issei went in an absolute berserk mode. Crazy fight, Shalba looked like nothing against Isseis power. But like we heard from Vali it was an negligent progression. I hope we will see a better version of it someday.

A lot of interesting things. First time we saw Ophis the leader of the chaos brigade. Vali, Sirzechs and Ophis are all extremely OP. And than this gigantic red dragon. :o

What happened to Isseis left arm?

At the end I'm happy that Asia is back but I'm not sure what will happen next.

Oh damn Issei's competely going berserk.
Yay Asia's still alive.
Vali's dragon form is amazing!

Kind of a shame we see Issei struggling with the loss of Asia while we already know she's alive though, would've made a bigger impact if we found out after he got back to his senses.

Oh damn we finally find out the DxD of the series, DRAGON OF DRAGON!
Also seems like Issei is fusing as the Red Dragon.

Really cool episode though, loved it.

Also I don't remember Vali using his Juggernaut Drive in this part but meh, all is good ~
Guess they tweaked it a little.
