"MASQUE? ANOTHER ISSEI CRT? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!"
What I'm doing
Summary: Kinda went overboard with the evidence for the first two, a lot of is just supporting evidence and is more than sufficient. If the wikia links don't work, re enter the link and you'll be able to access the image/gif. FYI, if you're wondering why I'm using Anime/Manga images, it's because you can't really describe martial arts techniques off of words alone + most of the scenes are just direct adaptations of scenes from the source material. If there's anything I'm missing or if I used a wrong link please let me know.
I'll put both of these along with the intelligence sections into a respect thread (blog) and add it to Issei's page.

For Weapon Mastery, skill "greater than the average person" in a weapon is needed.
- Yuuto skill: Yuuto was trained for years by Souji Okita since he was a child and knows Tennen Rishin-Ryu, the Sandanzuki technique which allows him to slash in three different places simultaneously with a single strike, and a mix of HEMA and Kendo. Defeated a Master Spearman and Horse Back Rider and is more skilled than Xenovia. He has also demonstated the ability to effectively wield up to three swords at once. His Sword Skill is in the top level nation wide. Yuuto was also a Durandal user. He's one of the best swordsman in the verse.
- Okita Skill: Is the same Okita Souji that was a member of the Shinsengumi, is a master of Tennen Rishin-Ryu, has lived for over 500 years, invented the Sandanzuki, and is able to deliver multiple strikes to an opponent so fast and precise that experienced swordsman like Yuuto can't even tell what he did. His sword skills are so great "you'd need to add several levels of super to describe it".
- Xenovia Skill: Outskilled Zekka, was a Durandal User (requires swordsmanship skill 10x greater than Irina), called a genius in swordsmanship, was an Excalibur user, knows Fencing and HEMA. Outskilled Meguri. Her sword skill is in the top level nation-wide.
- Meguri Skill: Skilled in Iaido. Her Sword Skill is in the top level nation-wide.
- Irina Skill: Is an Excalibur user, something that only genius-level swordsman like Freed Sellzen can be. Her sword skill is in the top level nation-wide.
- Zekka skill: Is a Samurai (Likely knows Kenjutsu) and master of Niten-Ichiryuu, knows Fencing, Judo, and Kendo all at the age of 14, is a member of the Occult Sword Research Club which cultivates young sword users into becoming the greatest swordsman, and all Martial Arts Clubs in Kuoh Academy have students in the top level nation-wide in their respective martial arts. Skill Examples + her being a Durandal and Excalibur user
- Cao Cao Skill: Is a Master Spearman and was comparable to Azazel in skill. He was called a genius and is stated that he makes geniuses look like jokes in terms of skill and was comparable to Sairaorg in terms of skill. Able to Predict opponent's moves based on the smallest movements. Inherited the soul (memories, evidenced by the souls of the former BG users being recorded as memories) of the original Cao Cao.
- Azazel Skill: Called "Shihan" by Ex, which means a teacher skilled in martial arts, he has centuries of Combat Experience from fighting in The Great War with other Supernatural Beings.
- Issei Skill: Memorized all of Yuuto's techniques and fighting styles and matched him in a sword fight in their most recent bout, trained with/by him for almost two years, has a photographic memory and has watched the girls of his Kendo Club (Top-Class Nationwide) train and later learned Kendo from Yuuto, outmatched Cao Cao. Can create complex and effective plans wielding up to three swords mid battle. His sword skill is in the top level nation-wide.
For Martial Arts, "notable skill in unarmed combat" is needed.
- Vali Skill: Called an Extraordinary Genius/Matchless Genius numerous times when referring to his combat skill and stated to be beyond the natural standard of skill. Learned Martial Arts (Teaches Tai Sabaki and Taijou, defensive martial arts) under the Grigori since he was a child.
- Sairaorg Skill: Called a Genius in terms of Martial Arts, knows Taijutsu, Karate, and Qigong, claims Martial Arts to be one of his three greatest weapons, more skilled than Issei at the beginning of Volume 10, comparable to current Cao Cao in terms of skill. Goes on to become a Martial Arts teacher at a school for Devils. Uses the same fighting style as Shirone and Ouryuu. Examples of Sairaorg's Skill.
- Shirone/Koneko Skill: Knows Iga Ryu, MMA, Taijutsu, Wrestling, Boxing, Judo, Karate, and Qigong and incorporates Senjutsu into her fighting style. Taught Issei most of what he knows about Martial Arts. Uses the same fighting style as Ouryuu and Sairaorg.
- Xuelan Skill: A Kung Fu Master that incorporates Magic into her fighting style.
- Riser Skill: Called a Genius when referring to his skill and strategy and out strategized Rias.
- Ouryuu Nakiri Skill: Knows Qigong and uses the same fighting style as Sairaorg and Shirone.
- Isabella Skill: Is skilled in Boxing.
- Yura Skill: Her martial arts skill was so great it allowed her to fight spirits as a Human, knows Karate.
- Ruruko Skill: Knows Karate.
- Rias Skill: Called a genius numerous times in terms of her literary and military arts (IQ and Combat).
- Issei Skill: Learned Martial Arts from Shirone for 8 Days Straight, and can identify numerous styles of martial arts mid-fight and is able to create numerous effective strategies both mid fight and ahead of time. Comparable to Ouryuu, held his own against Meguri, Momo, Kusaka, Yura, and Ruruko at the same time, outskilled Isabela, could fight three magic users (two wielding chainsaws, one using Bojutsu) at once while unarmed, grew to the level of (and even slightly beyond) Sairaorg mid-fight after previously stating that Sairaorg was superior to him. Outskilled, found the weakness of, and defeated Vali. Outsmarted Rias and Gasper. Knows Taijutsu, Karate, Iga Ryu, and likely everything Shirone knows as well given that he learned how to fight from her, has photographic memory, and has demonstrated use of a number of her styles. Has almost 2 years of Combat Experience. (Gap between the latter of Volume 2 and Shin Volume 2 is 1 and a Half Years and theres a lot before and after V2 and SV2.) Skill Examples (Various points in time)
Acrobatics: Issei has demonstrated decent acrobatic feats.
Size Manipulation: Can extend and retract his Ascalons.
Resistance to Duraneg Type 1: Received little damage from Tsubasa's attack which was supposed to send a shockwave through his armor and attack him from the inside. This resistance was attributed to his armor. Didn't seem too bothered from the shockwave generated by Gressil's attack. (All armored Issei keys)
Photographic Memory: The Sculpture feat listed in the intelligence section below and the memorization feat listed in the weapon mastery section. I'm pretty sure Issei becoming so skilled in using/identifying martial arts techniques after seeing them is due to this.
Reactive Evolution and Accelerated Development: His martial arts techniques grew to match Sairaorg's during the course of their fight. And Sairaorg was previously superior to him. (Shown in Martial Arts Section)
Social Influencing Types 1, 4, and 5: He is the Oppai Dragon (A Popular Superhero), The Red Dragon Emperor (An incarnation of a legendary dragon), a Special-Class Devil (Highest Ranking in Devil Society), a King (Leader of a Team of Devils, something that requires good leadership capability and social status), a Maou Candidate (Leader of the World), and is Highly accomplished in the Rating Game. (A test of strength and leadership ability that is what devil society is based on.) And as such is an extremely popular figure throughout various Mythologies. Being the Red Dragon Emperor passively attracts females (romantically) and strong opponents (for combat) to the user.
Replacing Regeneration with Healing: Self Explanatory, it isn't something automatic but something that needs to be performed. Also add Phoenix Tears for the reasoning.
Regeneration: (Low-Mid (the feat is for Base and up, enhanced Low-Mid in Juggernaut Drive and DxD): For the reason listed in the additional limbs section of his Juggernaut Drive Key. I think it'd be important to mention that Issei can regenerate his armor, and in these keys, his body becomes fused with his armor just like in Juggernaut Drive instead of just being worn. Additionally, Issei received a Fatal Wound (Large hole in stomach) in Volume 1, and although Rias healed him, she states that it only took one night due to his "strong body" indicating that his own self-healing is sped up. This happens another time earlier on, Issei got a fatal injury via a large hole in his stomach and dies, Rias then revives him using an Evil Piece (no reason to assume Evil Pieces heal the user, we only know that they revive the user as a devil), he later goes back to his home and the hole in his stomach is gone the next day. (And Rias definitely didn't heal Issei, it took a whole night (until morning) for Issei to recover from a similar injury, if she did heal him, she'd still be there by the time morning came when she evidently wasn't.)
Fissionism: Can separate weapons fused with his Boosted Gear from it.
Limited Precognition: Using Pailingual, he can ask the next moves from the breasts of his opponents and they tell him without fail. (Only works on beings he visually perceives as female like Girls, Shapeshifted Girls, Holograms, or Traps.)
Danmaku: Can fire off "countless" blasts while in AxA.
Emphatic Manipulation, Memory Manipulation, Size Manipulation: Divide can halve Memories, Emotions, Size and Mass depending on intent of the user.
Immortality Type 1, 6, and 7: Only for his V5-15 Key, after his body is destroyed and his soul is in danger, the memories inside of the Boosted Gear sacrificed themselves to revive his soul and Ddraig will transfer his consciousness and soul into his armor in which he can move again but has no Physical Body inside of the armor. He is said to be able to live for eternity in this state.
Shapeshifting: Can Dragonize parts of his body. (listed on profile already, just without the ability indexed in the P&A section.
Self-Perception Manipulation: Can double the strength of his eyes, his field of vision, and see clearly under water by using Transfer on his eyes. This can be added to Ddraig's profile as well.
Resistance to Shapeshifting maybe?: For the same reason as his resistance to Biological Manipulation. His body wasn't forcibly changed by the gender swap ray gun due to being the Red Dragon Emperor. This can be added to Ddraig's profile as well.
Air Manipulation: Can create large gusts of wind by punching hard. (Armored forms)
Genius Intelligence: Explained in Intelligence section.

Genius Intelligence: Explained in Intelligence section.
Downgrading Issei's outrage key to Multi-Continent Level. (Vali isn't scaled to Small Planet Level anymore, he's Multi Cont, and this Isssei scales to him)
Increase the amount of times Issei's DxD Forms can Boost from "at least once" to "at least 10 times". (Values: Up to 16.871994743953596828610182110476443956485355648535564853556485355648535564853556485355648535564853556485355648535564853556485355648535564853556485355648535564853556485355648535564853556485355648535565 Gigafoe for Amped True DxD, Up to 12017.50857771906149994681335808 Quettatons for Amped PDxD and Amped DxD) Solar System Level, and Large Star Level respectively

Solar System Level True DxD for being comparable to Angra Mainyu.
Due to the complexity of his strategies that he comes up with mid-fight (examples can be found in the king section above and sword skill feats listed above). His leadership ability (shown above), martial arts (shown above), swordsmanship skill (shown above). As well as general intelligence feats like creating a sculpture that was identical to Rias with his eyes closed in a few minutes based purely off of memory, gaining complete understanding of Devil Culture within half a year, and passing a difficult written test on the topic + the Middle Class Promotion Test. Learned Team Formation Strategy from Ravel and Rias. He should have an at least Genius rating in combat (Possibly Extraordinary Genius, comparable to matchless geniuses, geniuses that make other geniuses look like jokes, and extraordinary geniuses), Above Average (Goes to Kuoh Academy, a Renowned and Prestigious Private School, maintains decent grades, and attended the gifted and talented sleepover that his classmates were holding.) normally.
Also, Issei's Juggernaut Drive state should get an animalistic rating for only being able to act on instinct and lacking control. (Kinda like an Oozaru.)

Devil
Extrasensory Perception: Reason Listed on the page under "enhanced senses".
Added reasoning for the resistance to curse manipulation. (Same as the reason for the resistance to poison manip, demonic power protects the user from curses.)
Instinctive Action: Being a Devils allows the user to instinctively react to danger and automatically dodge certain attacks as long as the user senses that their opponent is stronger than them.
Dragon
Bodily Weaponry: All Dragons have sharp fangs, scales, and claws. Some even have Horns.

Issei in his first BxB Key and above should scale above Koneko's feat (Class 10) of uprooting a tree.
Add his Welsh Dragon Flare technique and description. (copied over from the DxD wiki)
Soul Manipulation: Transferred Issei's soul into his armor after he died.
Soul Manipulation: Transferred Issei's soul into his armor after he died.
Adding these things to the DxD Cosmology page, specifically the Hell and Worlds sections.
- Another Infinite Hell Statement
- Hell having a Day and Night cycle
- Editing the "as well as stars in the anime." statement in the Hell section to say "as well as stars in the anime and manga".
- For the Worlds section, add "Each World is stated to be a parallel universe/dimension/world to the other."
