There is a hint that Azazel is going to die or whatever is going to happen to him. So thats is some probably idea that is going to happen. But if they are going to to handle it fully with help from the older generation then I say that at least there are some area that they should be handle by themselves without help from them.
Depends, there are certain situations that will always be too delicate for the younger generation to handle alone, like the upcoming war.
And Issei already said that he'll have to think and decide for himself on several matters now that Azazel is no longer around, so it's not like Ishibumi hasn't acknowledged this particular issue.
Tournament arc as a whole should have the MC and the main girl be on the same team so they can demonstrate their resulted growth together, having them seperated doesnt seems right. When its the MC thats going to get the developement but not the Main Girl as well. Also, Ishibumi should let the main girl have her own power up without rely on anybody.
Gotta disagree on this one. I can see where you're coming from, but Issei is clearly meant to develop by himself as a leader and it won't happen if he continues to stay under Rias. Ishibumi repeats this tone through Indra who tells him that his reliance on Ravel is too much. His team would collapse without her as things are rn.
There's no way he can be one of the important leaders for the ExE war like the higher-ups want if he's unable to effectively lead a small team. Power obviously isn't everything, there needs to be a right balance between strength and intelligence as we see with other strong people like Ajuka, Indra, Sirzechs, etc. Issei will definitely be needed to function in bigger leadership capacities in the future. This is a good starting point for him where he can experience the difficulties of being a leader and get sufficient development before he steps up to more important positions.
As for Rias, I would also like that but she was never meant to be among the powerhouses with her normal strength tbh. Her strong point is her talent to gather strong people. When you think about it, there's a good balance between the Rookies Four as all of them have their particular strengths.
Malebranche Arc is interesting but since they are all "Crazy Battle Maniac", they are going to be like Crom Cruach and the previous others Evil Dragon which is boring. At least, gives us some clue to them being more than just that like some of them having their own agenda or something.
All Hades had is Samael but without it, he is not a good enough villain even though he is in the Top Ten. I feel like Angra Maiyu would be a much better final boss.
True, it's clear that Ishibumi just introduced them for EXE. But let's wait and see before we judge them.
Hades is fine but he's not too intimidating by his lonesome, yeah. He would have really shone if the members of the alliance weren't so selfish though >_>
