EDIT: I'll be updating this post with the information you need, now that EX has finished. Don't ask for the summaries, use Google and don't be stupid.

To get right to it, you could say this season has been retconned, as it's now officially and alternate timeline that has been altered by Loki who came from the future in the canon (light novel) timeline. This happens in "High School DxD EX" which is a six-part mini-novel bundled with each volume of the BD's.



As I stated before, use your own wits to find a summary, seriously it's not hard. In the end, Loki is defeated and the timelines are corrected and all is returned to normal.



And finally, the multitude of teases for a fourth season:


So. Does this mean season 4 is confirmed? NO. Does this mean it's possible? Yes, in fact it's almost likely given the sales and popularity.

So does that mean Loki and UL will be the next season? NO. The next season will adapt volumes 9 & 10 of the light novel, as confirmed by TNK in an interview in Dragon Magazine in the July 2015 issue, should it be confirmed. It's been stated that it will go back to the canon, as Ex has corrected any inconsistency created by BorN. Loki is done for good now, both in the anime and the light novels. It was heavily implied the UL and their leader Valvazoa may return in the light novels someday, perhaps as the final enemy?

Finally, so what the heck is canon and now and what isn't? BorN is technically both canon and retconned at the same time. It's an alternate timeline that has since been fixed. The next anime season would continue on as if nothing happens, because the past has been corrected already. EX is completely canon and happens in the main light novel timeline, sometime after volume 14. BorN is one of the timelines Loki altered that is fixed via time travel mumbo jumbo.

Wait whaaaaaaaaaaat?! So Issei's kids will change the course of the story we already know, so that it will match the one that the LN follow? or do i misunderstand something? And who does he have kids with?! :O

Not to be a downer or anything, but I don't really understand why this is being seen as clever. If anything this is just going to be a huge middle finger to anime only watchers. It seems like a troll that is highly unnecessary and stupid to me.
Also I really don't understand why Ishibumi keeps confirming everyone is going survive the series. Now we know Vali, Kiba, and Azazel are safe along with every single harem mate. Even if he wasn't planning on killing anyone on the good side, it just kills any tension knowing that for a fact. It seems like dumb writing to me, not smart.

Not gonna call this genius move or something but AT LEAST they actually had planned something in mind when they made those horrendous change and that's quite fine.
Dunno whether it's good or bad since I didn't watched it yet though.

Since when does Issei got kids? This can't be true that Asia got killed. She means a lot to Issei. I mean in the LN, Asia will marry Issei after he marries Rias.

I wonder if there is going to be any change of this being animated. I mean it really would be a dick move if they would suddenly continue from the novel route.

I watched the season again to see if i could find some possible hints or foreshadowing. But beside Loki's final quotes i got nothing (not to mention Fenrir still being nerfed and other stuff). This makes me almost 100 percent sure they didn't plan for this, atleast not in the first half of this season.

So he's gonna bang everyone except Ravel (sp?), Asia (cause she dead) and the valkyrie chick (completely forgot her name). So is this gonna be canon? (at least to the anime)

Reminds me of StB and the future arc confirming he gets with both chicks......

But he does, Rias would always be his main girl. It's just that this show heavily supports polygamy. And author wants to give everyone their happy ending, babies ever after style.

This season has officially been retconned by the man himself. The BD's all come with a part of a one-shot called "High School DxD EX", and in this we see Issei's kids time travel to where this season ended.



Tl;dr this season is retconned by EX and also, season 4 was hinted with Rias wanting to talk to Azazel about there being a lot of Khaos Brigade members in the town lately with Sacred Gears. In other words...

I don't give a single F about that. I see this like this:
- People are mad because born was trash as anime and total sh*t as adaptation! What we will do!?
- Ask author to reconnect this crap with LN story by writing some sidestory so we could throw source material out of window next time!
HDxD as anime is done. They changed too much for creating adaptations of next volumes so either they will go full fanservice way and ignore LN story completely or they create true 3rd season that will actually adapt something. Aaaand I don't think they would back to adapting 5, 6 and 7 vol so next season IF IT EVER HAPPEN* will be probably named High School DxD Capu 4!

*born sold just 5k BD (IMO 5x more that it deserve), and LN sales dropped to 30k... So I don;t think we will see another anime season. And I don't want it - until it will ADAPT story from 5 and 6th volume.

You don't get it. They are writing the side story to make it so that season four can act as if season three happened just like in the novels. Use your brain please

Oh. fanboys... And why they MUST write something like this? You really think they will back to ADAPTING novels? LOL. It's just "don't be maaaad, pleaasseee! See, author wrote sidestory so this crap is cannon now".

DxD as anime is dead for me until they adapt material that they butchered in born. 25 eps with 5eps for volume so they could adapt 5, 6 and 7 and can progress with story would be ok with me.

Basically from what I got from the spoilers is that Issei's kids are going to put the timeline back to normal for season 4 if/when it happens. So basically if you don't have access to these stories that are coming with the bluray or don't read the Light Novels you're not going to know wtf is going on in season 4. Season 3 isn't being remade. It's just becoming a canon alternate universe. We won't be seeing the true season 3 ever. They're just going into season 4 as if everything before it was like the Light Novels. Hope that answers your question.

Apparently there's a rumor going around that Ishibumi and the distributor of DxD's rights; Fujimishobo and Kadokawa have met with Toei (oh god) about something.

Not quite sold on this because Ishibumi's Twitter has mentioned nothing, and I'm pretty sure Toei would ruin DxD, but in case it is true, people are saying they may be trying to reboot DxD, like FMA Brotherhood and HxH 2011. Thoughts?


Holy shit, if Toei gets their grubby hands on this series it's fucking dead. Like no way in hell we will get a remotely decent adaptation.

That sounds way too far-fetched. It has barely been 3 years since the first adaptation and there would be little to no benefits in rebooting it.

Also Toei wouldn't necessarily "ruin" DxD. If they're given a good budget then they'll do a decent work as they've shown they're capable of before.

Toei only seems to ever put effort for movies/specials. Outside of that they haven't actually done a decent job since like Thriller Bark with One Piece. They have been outsourcing and cutting corners with all their shows for a while now. I wouldn't want Toei to touch Highschool DxD because of it's genre not so much because of the animation. They would censor the hell out if it so they can push it into a profitable time slot.

Not that I really believe that there is a snowball's chance in hell that Toei will ever pick up this series.
