What a kickass episode I'd have to say. Rosseweisse is so hot I can't even. Loki is pretty scary with his Ragnarok stuff. . . Glad to see Koneko embrace her powers same goes for Akeno. But the Issei x Rias moment gave me goosebumps, ya. Rias is so pissed.

Did he really died..? Or just passed out? In the end, these were massive wound. But if he died, with the Phoenix Tears, I'd guess you can bring someone back to life if it hasn't been too long that he's dead.

Loki is pretty darn stupid. Don't mess with a harem full of super powerful girls.

Yeeeeesss, Koneko-neko form.... Hnnnnngg ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Not sure how to feel about the re-arrangement of events. Sure we get some nice action thrown to us earlier but the development of the characters prior to the action is reduced or worse, essentially gone.

I have nothing against the power-ups (Angel Irina, Nekomata Koneko, Half-Fallen Angel Akeno) but it just felt too sudden. In the LN, there was significant build-up and development that leads to those power-ups.

I also don't like how they made Loki weaker. Iirc, Issei's team, Vali's team, and other big shots had to cooperate to at least put up a fight against Fenrir. Here, they're not even struggling with just the ten of them.

But eh, Ishibumi-sensei's decision. I'll just see how the story comes around and how the timeline works out.

There's alot of opinion of this episode from all sectors of the anime fan base, some have read the light novel and disprove and some accept the authors changes, i'm new to the light novel so i can't cast much of an opinion on that side of things, but I've read what various people have said, that this episode covered a bit of volume 7, when it's supposed to be covering vol 5, and it's skipped and mixed alot things up.

Here's what i think i liked the episode, and to be honest the preview looks odd and out of place with the cliffhanger we were left with. My hope is that this episode occurs after the events of the following episodes, and it will pick it back up towards the end of the season. And we see Rias go all out, having something happen like that a quarter of a way through the series wouldn't work, so they give us a taste of what's to come at the end. I think that could be plausible. I hope this is what happens and what the author intended. I do like Konekos fondness towards Issei now, Koneko has always been cute, and a favorite of mine.

I replay that last part of the episode over and over again. Maybe i'm sad on that side of things lol. But when things like that happen to a MC in a harem, it makes me feel warm inside, to see how close people are to him, and how much they care about him.

On the plus side i like this quote alot..other people have said it....

"Hurt Issei and you've got one hell of a powerful harem pissed off and ready to destroy your very existence"

I think i'll use that as my signature.

Actually from what I've heard or red, they are following the LN a bit.. but they're trying to jumble the episode around Volume 5-7 not following the sequence so the scene are changing a bit in the LN.
'Spoilers' and I think this is when Issei lose himself and enter Juggernaut Mode.. I think since I forgot what happen exactly on this chapter haha. Overall.. this episode was good and somewhat no satisfying because of that cliffhanger. That last minute scene where Rias lost it was just epic for me xD

JD only happens in V6, so expect it to be around ep 8-10.

As much as I like DxD, it doesn't really shine when it takes itself too seriously. I'm not just talking about our weekly dose of oppai here but there needs to be at least some comedy, some witty(and usually pervy) remarks from Issei.

Though of course, I understand the need of such eps every once in a while.

Wtf what about the plot armor?? Anyway this is one unique ending coming from DxD lol
So many awesome things this episode, where to start?
- Battle music, on! Oh, soundtrack, how I missed you.
- Irina gets reborn as an Angel
- Koneko-chan finally activates nekomimi mode
- ... did Saji just say Azazel implanted all those sacred gears inside of him -- as in, he has more than one!?
- Even ice-queen Tsubaki isn't immune to Kiba's charm O.o
- Fenrir used crunch on dragon armor. It's super effective! Huh, well that's news to the pokemon meta.
- Last time Issei made Rias cry, Riser got a beat down. So now if Issei makes ALL the girls cry... this can't end well for Loki.
- Next up, the best time is hammer time.

This garbage actually gets even worse by the season, I'm amazed. Hope this will get another sequel so I can finally rate 1/10. And by now the production values are terrible as well.

Wow no tits that might be a DxD first. If Rias puts his face in her tits he'd be up in no time.
