| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice to see Kuroka this episode again. Oh well, at least Issei and the others gets some help to get Rias back. They found her I guess but I suppose she is suffering in pain. This transformation though...  The brief fight was kinda intense. |
 |
| Giving up devil to be fallen angel? He refused and still wants to save buchou. Everyone's one with him. Needing power to get into between space, huh. It is done by a sword. Buchou is still on enemy's side, though original side of her is kept. With everyone calling her, it seems like she was back, but she changed form. His turn to save her. One more ep. |

Transcend said: O_________O Although if you've seen the preview to the new volume of the light novel, you'll see a big similarity between this episode and that... Yeah that's rather worrisome |
| I had to watch Raw this time thx to what happened in ep 10 but... there wasn't much about this episode that I liked... Only few things:  They would look like a nice pair :D Rossweisse CG :D NSFM: Rias in balance breaker looks very awkward :| And this idea with fighting against Rias even while she is not controling herself is very very stupid... It is not even that it is changed from LN, but such BIG CHANGE need to be recalled in season 4/5 if there will be any at all... She should have some trauma after this... so will they be changing everything from now on? If they just act like this fight never happened then it is even worse... I don't like it...

| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Worst fucking episode in the entire franchise. All of it read like a badly written fanfic and what i feared most the issue with the name is looking like a certainty more and more. TNK why have you forsaken us. Last week's episode defenders can just go fuck themselves right off a cliff. I was right to expect the worst. And yet they still managed to deliver EVEN WORSE THAN I EXPECTED. |

DoDevil said: Waiting for EP 12 @-@ First post? Hi, don't be shy and post something longer. This look like spam :( There is a collection of snippets and quotes from Volume 20 that was translated on the wiki and one of them had Rias say she would WEAR Issei's power. My only hope now is that Issei is still in a coma after Juggernaut Drive and this is nothing but a bad dream. |

| Sweet action, finally a Rossweisse eyecatch. I've been waiting long and hard for that to show up. Pardon the pun. |
| lost interest... (_ _)" no more sequel pls. the anime is full of BS. ill wait for volume 19 life 1 to be translated for the end of the month |
| bruh |
| I thought Rossweisse will be main focus character in few episodes left. But i am disappointed about their adaptation. |

| I'm glad that I'm not biased with source material lol....Going by what Stark and, Curzon said, it looks like this episode will be pretty enjoyable |
Tokoya said: I'm glad that I'm not biased with source material lol....Going by what Stark, Curzon and Thyriad said, it looks like this episode will be pretty enjoyable Ignorance is a sad thing. You have no idea what epicness has been negated with this stupid development later down the line. |

Kirigaro92 said: Darklight0303 said: Too late my friend. Too late I think the main problem is how this changes will affect future seasons, If there is a season 4 (which I think will be) hope they just forget this ever happen. Best possible scenario is all this crap it's just an Issei's dream after the Juggernaut Drive. THat's my hope as well. Because this is all so bad for long term plot reasons. |
Darklight0303 said: Nah I'm just one of the few people that actually judges an anime based off it itself and not match it up against the source material which in most cases, most adaptations lose no matter how good it is Tokoya said: I'm glad that I'm not biased with source material lol....Going by what Stark, Curzon and Thyriad said, it looks like this episode will be pretty enjoyable Ignorance is a sad thing.

It's sad how there's this ever growing concession that if something isn't identical to something that automatically means that it's bad....Look at Seraph....They've been adding in tons of original scenes and rearranging things and it's still pretty good...Some people even think that the changes are better than the source material If you want someone to blame someone, blame your precious author because IIRC he's the one calling the shots here....Don't get me wrong though, if what was left out is really as cool as you say it is then yeah it sucks that we won't see it but I won't fault this episode for it at least If I want to be cynical, this is an ecchi series and at the end of the day the plot isn't THAT deep tbh but I get your concern....You'll all just have to wait and see what happens in S4 (I have no doubt in my mind that we'll get one) |

AT that point you're better off calling it a spinoff not an adaptation because it stopped ADAPTING the core material. The things cut or rushed here have huge consequences in the later plot. =_= |
| Just one more episode :( Time to go save rias. But woah, that Armor on rias though. Really didn't expect that. |
[center] *>.>[Spoiler][/spoiler]<.<* [center] |
| So this part is an anime original? It wasn't completely bad, but it wasn't that good either. Also, I think Rias' transformation was redundant. It just didn't hit me like the last few episodes did. So how will Issei deal with this now? I have no clue now. |
MrJc said: I pray if this gets another season it just follow the damn light novel as it would suck SO MUCH if they skipped/leave out all the badass stuff that happens D: and i was so hoping to see volume 10 D: our only hope is that they SKIP all, remove RAynare stuff, do directly the rating gate from volume 10 and FOCUS 4 EPISODE JUST FOR VOLUME 11 and 12 AND PUT ALL THE MONEY ON THE CLIFFHANGER BETWEEN THE 2 volumes. |
| bruh |
| well interesting |

| Overall a decent episode,can't wait for the last !While I do feel sad that they had to do this as an anime original story,I wish this doesn't make any problems in the future of the story if we get more seasons. |

Lol that would be even worse... to forget... this is too much big event to be forgotten... Come on Rias - the king - Lucifer sister to be kidnapped, brainwashed and all this bad things what will happened in ep 12.. it changes everything, storyline in next volumes... this is all wrong... I cannot believe Ishibumi approved this... Tokoya said: It's sad how there's this ever growing concession that if something isn't identical to something that automatically means that it's bad.... not all changes are bad even in this anime and in season 3 DxD but this major change is bad even if looking with eyes of non-LN reader... but like in Naruto fillers do not change the history of original anime this episode 11 changes it 180 way around Tokoya said: Because the studio chose to do so, but the point is that an adaptation is an interpretation of something, not an identical copy of it people make mistakes.., even the studio even the author.. |

| Oh no, this wearing armor thing is not supposed to happen (until maybe 10 volumes down the line, haven't read the latest volume yet)... Hopefully this doesn't mean they will end the adaptation. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
Darklight0303 said: christyu said: Hmm I don't remember this episode in the novel. Perhaps they changed things around and this is part where only Rias will return and Issei dies with his evil pieces being returned? Though if they do this, it means that Ophis is being neglected... This has never happened in the novel It did. He is talking about volume 12 if I am not mistaken. PS. I edited my last post, wanted to edit it again but it seems already 2 replies since my original post time. Anyone who want to quote/read my full post. |

| uhm... the novel never exactly impressed me but this was just... bad like I have no idea what the anime is even trying to do anymore :s |
  |
| Never expected to see Rias in Balance Breaker form... o_O I'm not liking this original finale... And Asia received Fafnir from Azazel this early in the anime? That's supposed to happen multiple volumes later! *sigh* I'm not happy with the way DxD BorN was adapted. (Was this still supposed to be called an anime adaptation?) I managed to see Ophis at least from episode 9 but that's not how Juggernaut Drive was supposed to have been subdued originally from that episode... :c |
| I actually find it funny that this series is trying to the take the romance seriously but after reading the Light Novels from volume 1 through 13 and after watching season 1 and 2 with nothing but force ecchi fan service, decent fight scenes, and Issei's usual stupid perverted personality I can't take the romance seriously because it feels like a drag especially since this series has a decent story. And of course they have to add the usual predictable cliche "You're the only one who can save her." Ha ha man these animes never change huh? |
| one episode left and it won't even be canon as it is focused on the issei-rias bb battle let me be honest, this season was such a disappointment if not for juggernaut drive and that was only about 5 minutes of screen time and we didnt even get to see sonas or sairorg rating game |
 |
| This has turned into a gongshow. When the anime original episodes happened (loki being before Diodora arc and skipping rias vs sona's RG), I was really really hoping for them to just improve on the LN but instead it seems they are just routing it towards their own original ending. And Rias getting Boosted Gear's BB is just full bullsh*t because even if Loki (a god) is involved, its impossible to copy a longinus and even more so Draig's and this plot is later used in the novels when such a thing does actually happen due to some circumstances. DxD having a 4th season at this point is doubtful :/ |
 Doesn't this make you hungry? |
| This episode, this 'adaption' was so bad that it made me laugh. As a LN reader i'm DISAPPOINTED! What the hell the studio were thinking! Rias in BB? come on, an anime viewer could have see it from away away, that's bias and bs. The only good thing that they did in the ENTIRE season was to animate JD! even though they freaking removed the oppai song scene, i was okey with it but this!? how could they ask me to accept that? Are you kidding me? Time to remove 10/10 to 3/10, terrible adaption. I wouldn't be surprised if the next episode rias goes to JD. Laughable at best these anime watchers defending this bullshit. We had ENOUGH VOLUMES! 20 VOLUMES!! how could they do anime fillers!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!??! oh my god. |
 |
| The third season has been a huge disappointment. JD was the only good thing. |
| Ok episode. Rias' armour is probably gonna come flying off leaving her naked again in the next episode. |
 |
| Even if it come as a bit nonsensical to LN reader I still think this is good. Forget about adaptation as I think it is as separate entry. If you look at it closely like lyric in OP for example everything that happen up until now made sense. Because of all loving hero Issei is and his past he failed to notice Rias change. Rias is there when he save Koneko and also when he save Asia. Her desire to be treated as equal is what driving motivation for this season. She always want Issei to watch her the way he watch other too. It might look like childern tanturm but I can see where this is coming from. Also Azazal lending Fafnir not giving it. |
