as much as I like this anime I can't stand Issei and his constant babbling, I know what would have allowed them to win, if Issei had have shut the fuck up and blasted Raiser with his boosted dragon cannon from point blank range all would have been well and good but nope since this is an anime he has to talk for 5 minutes while he gets the shit kicked out of him, he suffers from something I like to call Allen Walker syndrome, the condition that many anime characters have where they have great power but get distracted to damn easily and therefore end up getting PWNED, one of the reason why D-Grey Man was painful to watch, I may be getting a bit sereous but this shit ruins anime, it doesn't add drama ffs it just makes the hero look pathetic, just sayin


You're missing the point that Phenix is pretty much immortal. Rias blasted off both his arms and he regenerated them in seconds. Issei is not strong enough to weild the god slaying full power of the Boosted Gear and that was made crystal clear more than once.

Let's see a immortal guy who can regenerate limbs in seconds vs A perverted high school boy who's just learning how to use the boosted gear= Fair match xD

Phoenix is the main bad guy for a reason, he isn't going to be beaten that easily :L

I liked this episode. Altough some scenes are cut from the LN, but still good.
The anime only covers volume 1 & 2. LN already has 11th volume and the 12th volume coming in april 20th. So yeah, LN is far more ahead. With lots of newcoming girls and villains.

This episode was really entertaining. One of the best episodes so far. I can't believe Akeno lost to that bitch queen.

In the end she resigns anyway, wtf. Well, only more episode and this nonsense is over. I guess Issei will be "objecting" at the wedding ceremony.

It was a good episode but I really didn't think Rias was going to resigned. I totally wasn't prepared for that. And it hurt my eyes to see Rias in the arms of Raiser McDick.

I hope Issei blow that marrige to bits and I hope for a second season.

xD

But I can't I disagree on any of it.

This would be very disappointing if there isn't any second season.

To be honest it's like they just based their anime on various intrigues of the 14th-18th Century among the nobility in Europe. Medici, Bourbon, Habsburg, Tudor, Orange, Borgia, etc. And then just added boobies, angels, demons, fallen angels, and put them in a modern backdrop.

I'm still expecting to see Issei kill that phoenix bastard, and even take over his harem.

If that doesn't happen or anything like that to satiate my hunger for revenge, I'll be deeply affected.

Hahaha!

Agreed, this show has become quite enjoyable and exciting - and hell, if stuff like Queen's Blade can get multiple seasons, then THIS should get some as well.
Although the "uncensored"-incentive of the Blurays isn't quite as attractive, since the show is quite uncensored anyway...

Had its moments but the last few minutes were tedious. It looked like the show was trying to take itself seriously there, which is kind of lame for a show of this sort.

This episode was fucking epic and intense. Great BG music to go along with it making it even more epic. It got me so pumped up.

Gotta save everything to my neural hard disk!

Issei was beasting out, you just gotta love his determination and never giving up attitude. That was how he even got his sacred gear to change form. That was awesome the way he was able to knock out all those girls at once with Kiba. Holy shit Kiba's power is awesome.

That ending noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Damn it screw Raiser. Really looking forward to next episode, and damn this definitely need a season 2.

If Issei is worth 8 pawns, when he got promoted shouldn't it have made him equal to 8 queens?

Otherwise sharing the pawns with 7 other dead humans could equal out to having a team of 9 queens. I know its a silly thing to get hung up on but if you're gonna use a battle system based on chess... Doubling up pieces would break the game.

a bit cliche and some corny dialogue at times.

he got too strong beating all the pawns and such at once. kinda glad we didn't get him getting overpowered and winning.

but hey now Raizer gets to violate Rias right? I mean that was his point for winning.

It was going to be an awesome episode...then it got stupid in the ending .I've seen too many anime with dumb shock value plot twists to be good storytelling. I'm really getting sick of it and god d******t stop yelling out shit, Issei and just fight. God, where are the Vampire Hunter D's and the Fist of the North Star when you need them.

Another awesome episode! People "dying" everywhere!

Everyone on Raiser's side (except for him, his Queen, and his sister Bishop) "died".
Noo, Koneko, Akeno, and Yuuto "died"!

But Yuuto's Sword Birth was pretty cool!
And so was Issei's new moves like Transfer! He also got an arm upgrade.

In the end: Blood, Resign, Tears.

That was much better than expected. Intense action and I loved the unlimited bladeworks done right!

Intensse NTR feelings at the end though. I hope thats fixed in the next ep.

Sword Birth Kiba! He was always my favourite character, but this puts him ahead by far.

Raiser's imouto ftw.

Well, I didn't predict them to resign, on to the last episode.

Nice episode overall but it kind of felt incomplete at the end. I think Raiser's Queen (Yubelluna) should have been taken out after what she did to Kiba, Aneko and Koneko; was wating for Issei to dress break her as well.

Honestly, I expected that the rating game would last the final three episodes.
Was wishing the battle scenes were extended (or at least show Sword Birth's fight with the three pawns, or Akeno's fight with the Bomb Queen), but I was pleasantly surprised nonetheless.

Raiser is such a dickwad, The fact that he wanted to go as far as to kill Issei shows how spiteful and horrible the guy is.
