High School DxD Universe Discussion Thread

Top Secret​

It would appear that in the world of thirty years from now there is the possibility of war due to an invasion by the malevolent god Melvazoa of ‘ExEEvih Etoulde‘ and his underlings.
|
  • The malevolent god Malvezoa’s fighting strength far exceeds that of Ophis (complete form) as well as Great Red.
  • Due to him being invulnerable and having transcended death (him being able to manipulate reincarnation techniques as well as the concept of existence itself, being able to interfere with himself from parallel worlds, manipulate time etc., he is thus able to preserve “himself” as much as he likes), the fight between the good and evil gods has become a battle in which the good god Resetoras seeks supremacy without completely overthrowing Malvezoa.
Powers and ability of dxd can go even higher in future volume
 
I would so love to do this if I can just get to doing one more final CRT for the abilities section lol.

Plenty of profiles of different series use like scroll boxes that make it easier to look at them and whatnot rather than having all bunched up together like they were part of an essay.

The only issue is I'm really high on fanfic writing atm lol.
Speaking of which, how should Issei’s profile be handled? Since it’s going to be cluttered and he gains different abilities and resistances later on (Nyuutron, Penetrate, Reflect, etc), should we split it into multiple profiles for the different story arcs? Kinda like how Deku or Luffy’s profile pages are split.

Could probably use tabbers (indication of volume) and in each tab we list the volume and form necessary for use.

Yea but I feel like it’d be too much since he gains multiple abilities in different volumes.

Like if we made a profile for ‘Arc 4’, it seems like it’d be easier to differentiate the abilities.

We could also experiment with different profiles or tabbers in a sandbox and decide. When the pages are to be updated, we probably need sandboxes for the more important characters before updating.

It's should be good 👍

I was thinking of that for those with multiple arcs like how it is for Luffy, Ichigo, Naruto, Deku, etc.

The main problem is as you pointed out that he has multiple abilities he gains in different abilities.

Speaking of that, Issei's profile as someone said before in an Issei match said his profile is a mess for how it's formatted. There are abilities he has in his base form that he doesn't get until much later on, and for it to be tiered and organized based on his base forms and powerup/armor forms undermines the progress even Issei himself gains throughout the series.

Just isolating the first two major arcs alone (V1-2 for Arc 1, and V3-6 for Arc 2), you got this of Issei:

Vol 1: Basic Devil Physiology stuff, Boosted Gear Doubling

Vol 2: Same thing before, Energy Projection and Manipulation (ex. Dragon Shot), Transfer (Power Bestowel), Transformation and some such w/Boosted Gear Scale Mail, Dress Break

...

Vol 3: Nothing new AFAIK

Vol 4: Ability/Stats Reduction via Divine Dividing, Resistance to Time Stop due to Ddraig, Holy Manip I guess via Ascalon, Probably Dragon Outrage if anything

Vol 5: Resistance to Poison Manip due to being Dragon Host of Ddraig/Boosted Gear

Vol 6: Juggernaut Drive, Bodily weapon creation

And this also isn't taking into account the other abilities and/or resistances from the side stories of Vol 8/13/15 and DX which have stories that just take place before the main story and in between it which will bloat this list up even more.

But it is in the later arcs where it gets even more bloated, yeah.
 
If we separate into story arcs, that would be five profiles.



Sekiryuutei's Awakening (Story Arc 1): Volumes 1 & 2

Birth of the Chichiryuutei (Story Arc 2): Volumes 3-6

The Heroic Oppai Dragon (Story Arc 3): Volumes 7-12

The Legend of Oppai Dragon and his Lively Companions (Story Arc 4): Volumes 13-21

Sekiryuutei of the Blazing Truth × Hakuryuukou of the Morning Star: The True Dragon(s) of Kuoh Academy (Story Arc 5): Volume 22-Current


Except we merge two arcs into one profile, then that would be 2-3 Issei profiles instead.

2/3 - 5 profiles wouldn't be that bad...I think?

If you look at Naruto and Goku, they're examples of characters who literally have several pages to accommodate their long-spanned development. And that's just the main series/canon line alone lol.

Naruto has four profiles for Part 1, Part 2 (up to Pre War), the War Arc, and Post Naruto Manga/New Life (Boruto). Including his game profile version, that makes 5.

Goku of DB Series has OG DB Era, DBZ Era, and two profiles to separate his anime and manga versions of Super Era. This technically makes it 4 for Goku like Naruto, and he has a lot more for his other versions of Toei Anime, DBGT, and the games.

In this way, I guess we can do the same for Issei and, if anyone really likes the idea, maybe an anime version too.

Yes that should be needed

Because Anime timeline and LN timeline are different

I think 3 Profiles would be fine, we can combine V1 and V2-4, and have V5-15 and V16-Current as separate profiles for Issei. I'll work on the summaries, images, etc for the other Issei profiles when I make them.
Could you make sure the abilities section of the profiles are correct? Whenever you get the opportunity, I hope I can trust you with that.
@TotalMasterInfinity will be working on the speed stuff.

Why separate 5 and 6 from 3-4. and merging them to 7-15, and making 16-current for?

Because of the AP differences that result from training. As @Burning_Full_Fingers mentioned, 3 profiles seems right. First Issei would only have two keys in V1, four for V2-4. Second would have V5-15 because Issei's base strength doesn't significantly increase during this time period but it is stronger than V4 base, total of 14 keys. Last because Issei shows an obvious base strength increase from V14/15 (Grendel fight), and doesn't have a significant base increase during this period, not sure how to quantify how many keys this Issei would have lol.

Ahh.

Although even if we do split to like 3 profiles by merging two arcs together, it's the naming of the profiles that's gonna be a matter to be discussed.

Goku and Naruto have rather simpler names like "Naruto (Part 1)", "Naruto (Part 2: War Arc)", "Son Goku (DB), "Son Goku (DBZ)", that sort of thing.

You also got cases like Deku having two profiles to accommodate for his progression before and up to the end of the final Act, and Asta of Black Clover having three profiles too including one solely for the final saga of his series.

While it's true Issei's base doesn't exactly increase significantly and for sure, the naming of the profiles will also be important to make the distinction too.

We can do it like the DBZ games, Issei (Early), Issei (Mid), Issei (End). Fun idea
 
Thoughts? (Blog is factoring in the new Cosmology blog which is likely going to be accepted without much trouble.) I'll fill in the ExE part when the scans are translated.
 
Jabberwocky statement is too vague with no timeframe.
Timeframe for destruction would be necessary for tier 2? If so, it'd at most be the rest of Leonardo's lifespan. (Wouldn't change the tier.) Also, it's not really vague... World would either mean planet, myth realm, or DxD, and considering that it fought an amped GR (who scales to the latter), that makes the most sense. Plus, it's not just a one-off statement, it's said multiple times.
Also it’s weaker than the heavenly dragons based on Azazel’s statement.
Could you remind me of the statement?

It could be referring to the landmass alone.

From Volume 9. He said Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing are above Annihilation Maker in raw power.

Again, unlikely Small Planet Level statements applied to mid tiers at the time. (BxB Sairaorg/CxC Issei) Sirzechs would easily be able to one-shot him if that were the case, but he wasn't. Plus, like I said before, the Great Red stuff. Contextually, this would be the kind of statement you're looking for as an army of above Low 5-B characters would be able to destroy a planet.
Sensei seemed to have started an endless dialogue with himself... But no matter how you look at it, wasn’t a Sacred Gear to create monsters truly strange and dangerous? And it was described as more dangerous than my Sacred Gear! That is to say, depending on the user, it can create monsters like Tannin-ossan, a Dragon King, and Fenrir, that monstrous wolf, on a mass-produced scale! Annihilation! The world will be annihilated!
"depending on the user"
From Volume 9. He said Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing are above Annihilation Maker in raw power.
Referring to the inexperienced Leonardo who couldn't even use the full potential (BxB) of his Longinus. This statement should doubly not apply since B&J was a unique BxB (subspecies) for Leonardo, and had never been seen before Volume 11. For more evidence, see the above statement. Fenrir > Ddraig and BxB Issei in raw power, meaning that depending on the user's skill (or BxB), their Annihilation Maker could be stronger.
“Like you, that boy possesses one of the Longinus. Currently, there are thirteen confirmed Longinus. Among the Grigori, there are also Longinus possessors. And amongst all these Longinus, the properties of that one over there, in other words, its abilities, are deadlier than Boosted Gear or Divine Dividing’s.”

“S-stronger than me?”

“In terms of pure power, of course your Boosted Gear and Vali’s Divine Dividing are far ahead. However in terms of abilities... Kiba’s Sword Birth can create countless Demonic Swords. This you can understand, right?”
Depending on the user again.
 
Plus, like I said before, the Great Red stuff.
Issei was in control and we know that he can’t pull out Great Red’s true power, even currently. Forget Great Red, he can’t pull out Ddraig’s true power alone. Neither has a genius like Vali.

As for the rest, I interpreted it as Azazel making a general comment about the capabilities of the Sacred Gears. Nothing really says Jabberwocky is a God Tier. Compare it to Trihexa’s awakening. Everyone was shocked at the idea that something comparable to Great Red was going to be awakened.

Jabberwocky, not so much. Nobody implied it was anything close to a God Tier in strength, even now when Great Red class beings have invaded.

But like, why wouldn't Issei be able to pull out GR's full power? This is literally the only time he's ever been in a situation where he's fused with someone else.

Sure bro, admittedly, the Jabberwocky stuff was really minor so nothing will really change if I can remove it. Plus, there're some actual antifeats shown. (Sirzechs' peerage damaging it.) I'll just use this to support Substellar ratings for Maou Class. (Won't be a full on planetary since we don't know what type of destruction it'd be as the fireball could result in multiple.
“Souji-san! Please cut off Jabberwocky’s leg!”

Grayfia-san gives the command to the samurai wearing a Shinsengumi’s haori.

“Roger that, Grayfia-dono.”

The samurai shortened his distance from the monster. –He’s fast. Isn’t he…….faster than Kiba? The samurai called Souji puts his hand on the katana located on his hip. There was a moment of silence. By the time I realised it, the monster’s right leg had been cut off from its knee. …..I couldn’t even see him draw his sword. ……But his movements are similar to the guy I know. –Is he Kiba’s master?
Last night, the attacking unit led by Diehauser Belial was dispatched. Although they were able to cause damage to Jabberwocky, they could only stall its movements for a few seconds. Jabberwocky regenerated and healed itself very quickly from the damage it sustained, and then resumed its journey as if nothing had happened.
 
But like, why wouldn't Issei be able to pull out GR's full power? This is literally the only time he's ever been in a situation where he's fused with someone else.
Based on what we know, he (or other characters like Vali) can’t just bring out their full power, even when he has Great Red’s flesh.

It’s safer to presume the same applies to the fusion, especially as Jabberwocky being a God Tier is not narratively supported.
 
One more thing from the blog; Ophis doesn’t need a team to fight Great Red. The reason Khaos Brigade exists is that she was deceived by them, as stated in volume 16. They were afraid that a clash between Ophis and Great Red would destroy the world, so they deceived Ophis that they would take down Great Red for her.

And of course, we now know that Satanael was the real mastermind behind Khaos Brigade.

She did tho. She was deceived in their intention to actually help her, not the formation of the team itself. Ophis isn't exactly dumb or naive.

That is what volume 16 suggests.


The world may have received that much damage if Great Red and Ophis had a battle. However, that didn’t happen. The leaders of the Khaos Brigade till now had been deceiving Ophis and were using her, but they didn’t let her fight Great Red because they knew it was dangerous.


They didn’t let her fight Great Red in the first place.

Now we also know from Slash Dog that Ophis did not even try to start Khaos Brigade herself. Satanael went to find her.


Satanael spoke.

“The longest living creatures in this world——dragons. Among them, said to be a Dragon God, is one endowed with the power of infinity……”

The witches understood.

“——Uroboros huh. The power of the ‘Snake’ of Uroboros……”

“Indeed, find Ophis.”

—————

To this Satanael replied.

“If it’s a name, I’ve more or less thought of one.”

After a moment’s pause, he said that name.

“——‘Chaos Brigade’, I think that is what we should name our gathering.”

Everything started from here——.

That's not what I was arguing. From the perspective of Ophis, what would be the point of gathering a team if she could fight him by herself? Azazel says that defeating Great Red was the sole reason she allied herself with others, regardless of the Khaos Brigade's intentions, these were Ophis' intentions
“Yes, Great Red is there.”

Right now, the dimensional gap is in the control of that guy. I see. Ophis wants to get rid of him so she can return to the dimensional gap. Don’t tell me with that requirement…… The requirement to get rid of Great Red was the reason why she placed herself with the devils from the Khaos Brigade and other dangerous guys from the different factions.

Sure, but the only reason she actually joined them was to defeat Great Red, again, this is about the intention of Ophis, not the organization.
Also, is speed supposed to be the next issue handled?
The when of it doesn't really matter much. It getting done as soon as possible would be for the best.
But aside from the Khaos Brigade/Jabberwocky stuff, does everything else look alright so far?
 
The God Tiers seem fine to me.

On the subject of Issei's profile organization, I would prefer to organize it by power jumps.

But I find several problems with this, between Volume 1 and 2, Issei has a huge power increase and I don't think the Issei from Volume 1 deserves his own profile, so I would put it like this.

Profile: Issei Hyoudou (Beginning of the Series)

Key:
Initial Base | Post-Training Base | Incomplete Balance Breaker

For the following profiles this occurs to me.

Profile: Issei Hyoudou (Post-Tannin's Training)

Key
: Base | Balance Breaker | Cardinal Crimson Promotion | Incomplete Juggernaut Drive | Cardinal Crimson Promotion Post-Sun Wukong's Training | Diabolos Dragon God

Profile
: Issei Hyoudou (Shin DxD)

Key
: Base | Balance Breaker | Cardinal Crimson Promotion | Diabolos Dragon God(Pseudo) | | Diabolos Dragon God(True) | Apocalypse AnswerArms
It should be noted that this is only for statistics, not powers or abilities.

I think making the last profile Post Sun Wukong's training would be for the best. Good Ideas though, I'll try this kinda structure.
 
 
I would at least prefer one profile of Issei to be simply just merging his Vol 1 and 2 versions together. Vol 1 to 2 may have had a huge jump, but it's not as big as the jumps he gets later like post 4 and up from there in between. Plus there isn't that much for Issei that he gets too ability wise so lumping them all together works just fine.

So Beginning/Early Series DxD can have Arc 1 as a whole.

The latter two profiles, if we're really going for 3 profiles of Issei to accommodate from start to current, those look fine to me so long as THOSE are where he's had the most dramatic changes he's got.

Even so, it's still better to list the PnA. Ichigo for Bleach has all of his abilities listed twice for his pre and post timeskip versions. Issei can probably do the same or we just link whatever is the proceeding profile we have of him so if his latest profile has all of the previous stuff, you could just say "Same as before" and just link to said profile but that's only if you want to take the lazy route lol.

Another thing, I think for all 3 profiles we should add a note on them detailing what version of Issei the profile covers so like if BoS Issei is just the first arc (Vol 1-2), we should make a note that says that only covers Issei of x volumes. Same for the other two so people can know what's what considering the weirdly placed power jump Issei develops (not helped with Ishibumi once tweeting how the first 21 + first half of 22 Volumes took place in a year's span LOL)

I was thinking we should just name it by arcs.

Issei Hyoudou (Arc 1-2)
Issei Hyoudou (Arc 3)

And so on. Then list the specific keys for the armours he has for those story arcs.

We could probably merge the first two arcs from Volume 1 - 6 in one profile since he only had Balance Breaker, so that would be three keys for base, incomplete and complete Balance Breaker.

Edit: Oh yeah, there's Juggernaut Drive. Hmm.
