I really enjoyed this episode. Ophis sure is a mysterious character.

I do hate Diodora Astaroth for kidnapping Asia, but I wish that Issei was the one to kill him, not Shalba. It was really an intense fight.

I think Shalba was beaten too easily, even if Issei did use Juggernaut Drive. I would have sure liked a longer fight. Oh well.

I really like the chant for the Juggernaut Drive. The scenes like the Raynare flashback and what happened with Rias were good, but I kinda wanted Asia to be the one to bring Issei back to normal since she was the one who caused Issei to transform.

Overall, it was a good episode.

Spoiler!!!!
Shalba Beelzebub didn't die in this episode.

Is it weird to cry at some points in the episode? I never shed some tears like since first season.


The only arc that almost got me into tears was Kiba's (2nd season).


agreed.. his sorrow and feels are real.. lol..

Juggernaut drive is just sooo badass

"I, who is about to awaken,
Am the Heavenly Dragon who has stolen the principles of domination from God
I laugh at the "infinite", and I grieve at the 'dream'
I shall become the Red Dragon of Domination
And I shall sink you to the depths of the crimson purgatory!"

This scene gave me goose bumps

Pretty obvious that Asia wasn't dead. Still pretty crazy seeing everyone's reactions to. Especially Issei's. Dem glowing green eyes doe!

Dat Jaggernaut Drive was beastly! Curious what a complete version would be like.

Damn Issei once again fodderised that guy!

Seems we got a end goal now. The dragon gods!!!

If there is a next season the antagonists will be far more capable, so don't worry, the easy fodder are gone. :D

So we finally get to see Issei's JD..half assed it might be but still DAMN....

I do believe DXD initially meant Great Red in the sense he is the Dragon of Dragons,The True Dragon God untill


We also get to see Ophis(for the love of all,its not Orphis) and Vali also gets some characterization.If people are wondering how ridiculously powerful Sirzechs is,don't worry you haven't seen him going serious.He is a fucking monster.Those eyes though.

Also,the interactions between Xenovia and Asia at the end were pretty good.They did change the way Issei turned back into his normal state though.Where is the OPPAI song?I guess they will be storing it for the Loki fight.Definitely the best episode of the series until now.The tension was felt throughout the episode.

1. Why can Issie use Gaspers power? He never absorbed it
2. What did Ophis pull from the MC? I don't mind if the answer is a spoiler.

Well one thing is for certain in this episode. The hype was real, and I was absolutely satisfied with the Juggernaut Drive scene. That's not counting Sirzechs' Ruin the Extinct. I wish was the scene where Issei bit off Shalba's arms was a bit more graphic but then again this is DxD...

One thing I didn't like about this episode though... WHERE IS THE OPPAI DRAGON SONG?! They had it for one of the new season previews and hyped the song up so WHERE WAS IT?!


They're probably saving it for the final fight with Loki

Ophis-chan makes an appearance! She's so cute =3

The problem with ecchi and drama is that you can't be serious when there are boobs jiggling around.

But holy shit, the nailed perfectly the transformation! It's as epic as I remember from reading the LN ;p
Kaji Yuuki nailes every role that screaming is involved.

The Asia scenes are very emotional, I somehow forgot I was watching DxD.
Issei's got into Eren mode.

OK, with this episode the show was saved for me. It regained it's 8/10

Didn't really liked the first part: When they realised that Asia seemed to have died everyone seemed to deal with it better than i would expected and ready to extract revenge. But seeing Issei somewhat becoming "delusional" in response, suddenly makes them all cry as if seeing Issei in this state is more horrible than Asia's death... Mhe i'm not buying it, Issei should just went instantly juggernaut, this just seemed so forced as if they are doing a play...

Next we see Xenovia going "berserk" against this Shalba guy and ofcourse gets insta swapped like a fly. I guess only main characters can get away with it. But seeing a half naked Xenovia with her breast flying in such a "ecchi" way made me shiver... I started laughing on a part i shouldn't have which kind of was a moment killer. Maby they should chance this story into a full comedy because drama is obviously not their thing.

Well atleast i got to give them credit for their originality, i really like how they used "Raynares ghost" or whatever that black thing was.

How could they fuck up the culmination of the season >:(((((
I was so much looking forward to the Chichiryuutei song saving Issei for his Juggernaut Drive and they skipped it. The studio has been given too much freedom this season - first they skipped the Rias x Sona rating game, then they quickly passed through the ability which the machine constraining Asia had, and now this - unforgivable. If this goes on, I'm dropping the anime and going just with the novels. With 2 novels per season I should currently be at season 10 anyway

jesus, what's with all these 1:1 adaptation fanatics...i can understand to an extent people being discontent with ubw because it sounds like ufo actually bungled the character development/focus pretty hard, but from what nearly everyone has said about the changes to this particular story, nothing major has been changed, and on top of that, even if something minor has been skipped, there's still a decent chance for it to show up later...god forbid the chronology be fucked with in any way...

The problem is not with the character development but with the pleasure of the events unfolding. The scene where Issei uses Booblingual for the first time should have been at the rating game and it came as a surprise at just the right moment.
And the Boob Dragon song was supposed to be epic exactly because of how absurd it was to suddenly be played at the most desperate and serious scene. Not to mention that it's important for the future developments:

i was talking about the character development for unlimited blade works, not this show, because in that forum in particular it's just a flame fest of adaptation purists every single week, but their gripes seem to be more justified than those being levied against DxD, with the obvious exception being the nerds that bitch because the song "Emiya" got played at the "wrong" time

The Juggernaut Drive is too defective. It runs on negative emotions, makes the user go berserk and even trims the user's life is use inappropriately. Vali was only able to use the Juggernaut Drive because of his demonic power but that also comes at a risk, he can't maintain it for long period without succumbing to the risk of going berserk and dying as well.

But the Juggernaut Drive will open up a new power-up for Ise, so look forward to that. Same goes to Vali.

It's not a matter of control, JD is supposed to be a one-time thing that consumes all of your life force. Vali is just a monster that can use his demonic power as a substitute.END OF SPOILERS

Is the curse thing really AO, seems important to me (I know Raynares actually does play a part in later events from small spoilers I know)
Why would a song cause Ddraig and White to stop fighting?

I believe this season was vol 7, 8 and 9? I'll go read after the season ends

The curse is Anime original yes.

The song doesn't stop them fighting it stopped Issei's juggernaut drive rampage. In the novel Vali didn't get a chance to transform and take on Issei

Ohhhh, so this is what DxD stand for... I thought it was standing for, well, cup size x)

Asia and Xenovia moment was so sweet. Diodora got rekt. New vilain barely appeared and got rekt. Everything is going fine and everyone is happy! Except Issei arm.

We learned that the chief of the main antagonist group is in fact... a loli. Never change, LN writters, never change...

Damn Sirzechs obliterated that guy.
Issei Juggernaut Drive transformation was epic although still incomplete.
Didn't know Vali was on good terms with Issei.
Wonder what was that black thing Ophis got from him.
His arm at the end damn, think that happened before too but not as bad.
Nice episode overall.
