Highschool DxD/Characters: Difference between revisions

** [[Badass Pacifist]]: Would prefer talking rather than beating up his enemies. {{spoiler|And that's including the past users of Boosted Gear.}}

** [[Badass Unintentional]]: He just wants a harem and not wanting to fight at all. Doesn't stop him from being one.

** [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He's usually thinking about perverted things, but push comes to shove...

** [[Dare to Be Badass]]: Delivers this to Gasper when he held the [[Distress Ball]] in volume 4.

** [[Heartbroken Badass]]: His thoughts reveal that he's still traumatized after getting himself killed by his ex-girlfriend and also rejecting her beg for mercy when she gets killed by Rias.

** [[Intimidation Demonstration]]: {{spoiler|Does this to Diodora when he punches the ground so hard it causes a crater. This pretty much ends their fight as Diodora was scared of Issei.}}

** [[One-Man Army]]: {{spoiler|Defeats an entire group of middle-class grim reapers, beings ''stronger than high class devils'', by himself. And this is with him only using Balance Breaker and at this point, he's a lot weaker because he just fired off two Dragon Blasters, and used Gift on Rias and Akeno. This surprises Siegfried as to how strong Issei really is.}}

** [[Submissive Badass]]: He's even more powerful than ''any'' member of his group, however he's still going to follow Rias' orders no questions asked.

* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: Achieves this {{spoiler|in his 2nd fight versus Cao Cao, who lost his eye after that.}}

* [[Breath Weapon]]: He learns how to breathe fire {{spoiler|[[Training from Hell|after training with Taninmin]]}}

* [[Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest]]: Averted pretty damn hard. He'll still make lecherous passes even though {{spoiler|he finally is able to confess to Rias. Case in point: use Gift on the latter's breasts.}}

** It should be noted that the girls like it this way, and constantly encourage said advances.

* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Lots of 'em in this series and he's always the youngest; the latest being {{spoiler|Ophis. And now Great Red is joining the fun.}}

* [[Ironic Echo]]: Him promising to Koneko that he'll never use Dress Break to his allies. For those who haven't read the light novels, {{spoiler|he uses it (by accident) towards Asia and Koneko in volume 3 because he was targeting Irina at that time, he uses it at Asia in volume 6 for his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], and he uses it again towards Rossweiss in volume 9 because he needed to get past her. The one with Xenovia on volume 8 doesn't count because it was his clone running loose.}}

* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Pawns have the secondary ability of "Promotion" if they are deep in enemy territory [[Chess Motifs|(in chess a pawn is promoted when it hits the last row on the opposing side of the board.)]] Which allows him to promote himself to any piece except a King, gaining that piece's abilities.

* {{spoiler|[[The Juggernaut]]: Juggernaut Drive. [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Duh]]}}
