Boosted Gear Gift. Like it says, Gift as in giving. It's suppose to give power to his teammates. You know how the Gear goes 'Boost' and Issei gains power. This new power is suppose to 'Transfer' those Boosts to his comrades, in this case Kiba.
Gift can also amplify a single attack. While it looks like BG absorbed Kiba's attack and released it, the truth is Issei just increased the power of that single attack by transferring his power to it, hence the BG saying 'Transfer'.

I swear when the boosted gear "changed" it looked as if it was part of a combat suit.
Maybe it is? I highly doubt it but it would be pretty bad ass to have a dragon like power armor.

I liked it, but the ep 10 was better.

Rias giving up was bad. Hated it.
And Issei became totally useless in the end.

Absolutely awesome ep, the action in this series was just great, and one hell of a cliff hanger at the end. Gotta hand it to this show for really pulling things together and making this a very bad ass show.

I agree with Yume on the fan service bit. This series would have a 9 right now if they brought down the ecchi for the more serious moments, I did not agree with how they handled Asia's drama scene.

Awesome episode! Issei was bad ass in this one (except for tripping at the end...) Can't wait till the next episode to air. You know Issei is going to use the boost gear to the next level and pwn Raiser at the wedding. I'm looking forward to it and I hope there is a second season that follows.

Raiser is quite a boring guy, using his advantages as a Phoenix to torment his opponents.

If Rias didnt stop Raiser maybe Issei boosted gear could crash him down.

Ugh now i can't wait till ep 12. I gotta say i didn't expect akeno to be taken down by the other queen, issei still irks me a but because of that perverted power but i've come to accept it, and after Issei practically confessed to her and Rias had that flashback and strongly hinted but didn't want to show her feelings just yet..to Issei, who kept spouting on about keeping a promise while coughing/throwing up blood left and right. I mean hell, if you are keeping a promise to the person you love, you won't stop for anything..even if that means the person is a Raiser, but Rias will. Rias would stop it and i couldn't understand why, after all that and i was expecting a last second "power from within" that killed Raiser but Rias forfeited. I didn't understand why and i was really mad at first but then i understood why. It's because she didn't want anything to happen to Issei, and he would have burned alive to the point where the healing powers didn't work on him, so smart move on Rias's part..building up a lot for the last ep.
What i think will happen and what i hope will happen, in a nutshell with no spoilers and also its heavily implied, Issei gets Rias back and finds this new power and they both confess and live happily every after

Sad it's ending next week.

Wish it was longer though since the last few eps feel rushed but what can you do with 12 eps?

I'm expecting a happy ending next ep and an OVA epilogue.

I get the impression that the light novel series goes a lot farther than where we are in the anime, with other arcs and development. Hopefully there will be enough sales to get a second season developed eventually.

Well, since they did this part fairly well I hope the next part does happen as done in the novel since that's the most exciting part of the first two books.

Hopefully Issei will show who's boss next time and obliterate that ignorant phoenix.

I bet all the people who called this anime "overly predictable" weren't expecting this! (I wasn't until stupid people left spoilers in the other discussions).

This was probably the best(maybe 2nd best) episode of the season!

Its a shame this anime was rushed. The rating game lasted ..what, 2 episodes?

About this ep:
I was about to get pissed when they didn't show how Kiba defeated those three girls from the previous ep, but they made up for it in this episode by showing him fight another Knight, plus showing his "hidden" ability.

I don't really like how Issei pulled a new power outta his ass though. I did lmao when Issei destroyed that girl's clothes then immediately blasted her away!

I didn't predict that they would lose(until it was spoiled for me). Kiba was defeated almost outta nowhere. And I guess Issei's promotion went to waste..


And I'm sure none of us really believe that Rias will marry Phenex. (This is just my guess, but still..)

But yeah, that kind of sucks that Rias resigned :x I guess she cares about Issei that much. How sweet. Still, now she has to marry that douche. I wonder what'll happen for the finale, and if it'll leave an opening for an S2...

Intense episode, I practically NEEDED the ED to take the edge off. The fights were entertaining.

I was shocked to see Rias do that at the end, you could feel the heartbreak in Issei as Phoenix held her in his arms. I thought he would just gain absurd amounts of power and take down Phoenix shounen-style, although it was heading down that route when Issei acquired the second Boost phase.

Can't wait to watch the conclusion to this series next week!

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

amazing episode with a surprisingly small amount of naked girls compared to usual - didn't miss it too much however, as the ratings game was amazing to watch! a very sad ending, but i have a feeling everything will be turned upside-down in episode 12 - can't believe there's only one more episode...this show's been a real surprise to me in that it turned out to be very enjoyable - i was under the assumption when i saw previews that it would be an extremely average harem type anime along the lines of sekirei or something equally dull, however, it turned out to be funny, action-packed, and very moving at times - great show!!! let's all pray for a second season!!!

Well, I'll give this series A LOT OF CREDIT for not being so cliche and predictable.

Although, I still believe in the end, the "Good Guys" will win....like always.

It's not like Rias is really going to marry Raiser....obviously the crappy MC will rescue her or do something to stop the wedding.

However, I'm pleased with this episode and how I predict this anime will end.

Honestly, I wasn't too sure about a second season, but now I really believe this anime should get one.

Overall, this was the best episode so far, and this arc has been much better than I expected (then again I had ZERO expectations for this arc ).

5/5 for the episode, I will most likely give this anime a 7/10.

However, 10/10 for the ecchi :D

They already lost the game so problably they will win on the next ep so it can have a possible second season (i hope it , they have alot of nice stuff from the LN).

Well, not like I anything to do with this but he didn't mispell it, fanboi is a term that is somewhat like a slang, you see.

Though, I don't blame you for mistaking it. Afterall, the writer of this sentence is a mongrel who doesn't even bother to use uppercase and lowercase properly and the fact that he spell everything as "everythign", so far as "sofar" and use such broken language like "I put my hand in fire if its not", all this are the aspect of a fucked up retard who think he is so good at judging, one that will never amount to anything and that of a mongrel pointless troll.

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.

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 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.
