Highschool DxD/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

== Occult Research Club ==

Tropes relating to them:

* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Everyone in the Club with the exception of Rias and Azazel are low ranked devils. Rias is currently one of the weaker members of the Club. You do the math.

** {{spoiler|Although latter Issei, Akeno, and Kiba get promoted it's implied that they are still not promoted to where it would indicate their strength level. Especially Issei who at this point should be a ultimate devil with [[Super Mode|Trianna]] but is still one of the lower ranked devils}}.

* [[Badass Crew]]: [[A Worldwide Punomenon|Hell]] yeah!

* [[Battle Harem]]: Even if you include [[Ho Yay|Kiba and Gasper]]. It gets lampshaded by the [[Word of God|author himself at one point.]]

Line 20:

*** [[Sixth Ranger|Sixth Rangers]]: Irina, Rossweiss, and Ravel {{spoiler|We could also probably add Ophis in here now too.}}

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|''Everyone's'' reaction was this when they only saw Rias' 8 pawn chess pieces instead of Issei himself.}}

* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: They have the [[Every Thing Is Better With Princesses|princess of the demon world]], a survivor of a horrible experiment, [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|a child of a fallen angel who turned into devil who is also a priestess]], three very [[Cloudcuckoolander|ditzy]] believers of god, a [[Catgirl|nekomata]] that looks like [[Expy|Yuki Nagato]], a [[Cross Dresser|cross dressing]] vampire, a [[Mad Scientist]] that is also the [[Authority Equals Asskicking|leader of the Fallen Angel side]], a [[Valkyries]] that loves money and hates spending too much, a demon phoenix, [[And Zoidberg|and finally a]] very perverted former [[Ordinary High School Student]] turned devil who also is a dragon.

* [[Pyrrhic Victory]]: {{spoiler|They did win against the Sitri group, but lost a lot of members to pull it off.}}

* [[Switching POV]]: The story is usually told through Issei's perspective, however there have been other characters that have gotten a narration from their perspective instead. To date, the only ones who have switched point of views from Issei are Rias, Kiba (secondary narration if there's something going on with Issei), Azazel (when there's a discussion with the leaders involved), and Asia.

* [[True Companions]]

* [[Try Not to Die]]: When Xenovia and Irina were able to get out of the dimension caused by George, they tell Issei to survive. {{spoiler|[[Our Hero Is Dead|Guess what happens to him.]]}}

* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Not them individually but their whole group in the rating games lack experience hence they often don't do so well against a team in a rating game. This is best exemplified in their match against Sona's group where they had a hard time with Sona's strategies and hence almost lost.

=== Issei Hyodou [[Chess Motifs|"The Pawn"]] ===

Line 33:

----

* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: In one of the short stories of Volume 8, it's revealed that {{spoiler|he has a ''female gorilla spirit'' who has a crush on him.}} Needless to say, he's not amused.

* [[Achilles Heel]]: Notable in that he's got ''twice'' the number of weaknesses because he's both a dragon and a devil.

* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Notable in that he's got ''twice'' the number of weaknesses because he's both a dragon and a devil.

* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: After Rias appears to him all of a sudden in volume 2 and then goes back to her home. Thankfully, the anime omitted that little detail.

* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: He's a fan of [[Super Sentai]] shows alongside Irina, and he finally gets a [[Show Within a Show|show in hell called Breast Dragon.]] He's conflicted however whether he's happy about it or not seeing as it's embarrassing for him to have his show called "Breast Dragon", however kids do love it.

Line 65:

** {{spoiler|Tell him that you're going to harm children in his presence. [[Curb Stomp Battle|We dare you]].}}

{{quote|'''Issei''': (to {{spoiler|Raiser}}) I don't understand difficult things. However when I lost to you I still remembered one thing from that. ''You made Buchou cry'' and that's all I need to know to punch you!}}

* [[Beat Them At Their Own Game]]: {{spoiler|Used Samael's poison that was from his body when he fought against Shalba, infused it with a bullet of Gogmagog he found at the Dimension Gap alongside Ophis and Great Red, and used it against Cao Cao.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Big Damn Heroes]]: Shows up [[Back From the Dead]] with Great Red and Ophis accompanying him.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Dynamic Entry]]}}

Line 111:

** He also has a love for having a harem and have sexual relationships with his fellow club members {{spoiler|but the girls reveal that that they see fear in his eyes whenever they interact with him which shocks him. He still has a lot of trauma in regards to relationships because of [[Manipulative Bitch|Reynalle]], his ex-girlfriend.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Horned Humanoid]]: After activating Juggernaut Drive the first time.}}

* [[Idiot Hero]]: [[Zig-Zagging Trope|Zigzagged]]. Well he has his moments he is usually on top of things once someone explains it to him and is not nearly as lacking in commen sense as some of the other members of the Occult Club. He only gets really dumb when it concerns [[Oblivious to Love|Love]]. He also gets smarter as the series goes on.

* [[Informed Flaw]]: Everyone calls him talentless and he's often remarked as the weakest holder of Boasted Gear. At the start that makes sense but once he starts training he completely blows through the more "talented" members of the Occult Club in terms of both strength and the rate he grows stronger. While it's true that he trains hard Sairaorg trains longer and just as hard as him and he still surpassed him in the end. At this point it gets a little ridiculous when someone remarks him as weak or talentless considering how fast he improved.

** Although to be fair, the ones calling him talentless nowadays are [[Authority Equals Asskicking|Azazel]], [[Born Winner|Vali]] and [[Badass Normal|Cao Cao]]. And even then, it's a compliment for them because they know Issei is a hard worker and is getting even stronger in a different direction.

* [[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]]}}

Line 134:

** [[Fragile Speedster]]: Welsh Sonic Boast Knight gives up armor in exchange for speed.

** [[Glass Cannon]]: Welsh Blaster Bishop has a long charge time but very destructive attacks.

** [[Jack of All Stats]]: Normal Balance Breaker has no weakness but doesn't add any special power.

** [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Cardinal Crimson Queen basically combines all 3 modes strong points without any of their weakness.

** [[Mighty Glacier]]: Welsh Draconic Rook has heavy attack and defense but due to the extra armor in this mode speed is lowered.

* [[Mundane Utility]]: How he acquired Dress Break in the first place was to peel vegetables at a distance.

* [[Naked on Revival]]

* [[Nice Guy]]: Despite being a pervert he is one of the nicest people in this story.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|Destroying one of Cao Cao's eye didn't exactly end well when Cao Cao gets a rematch with replacing his now missing eye with a Medusa eye.}}

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: A perverted high school student that is both a dragon and a devil.

* [[No One Gets Left Behind]]: {{spoiler|Stays behind the group in volume 11 to rescue Ophis from Shalba Beelzebub.}}

* [[Normally I Would Be Dead Now]]: {{spoiler|Apparently, if he didn't use Phoenix tears when he and Cao Cao fought the second time at Kyoto, he would have died already.}}

Line 187:

* [[Straight Man]]: Pulls this off when Asia or Xenovia end up praying and gain damage.

** As long as he isn't in his perverted antics, he's this to ''anybody''. He's this to Rias when he recognized who the Maou Rangers were right away while Rias thought it was a new enemy. Also one to Bikou and Vali when they thought [[Creepy Crossdresser|Mil-tan]] was a ''[[Catgirl]]''. He even wanted to point out to Irina that although she's wanting to create a new club, she's still joining the Occult Research Club. And he also is this to Rossweiss {{spoiler|when he pointed out that he used Dress Break on her and the first thing she complains is that she ''wrecked her clothes and that cost her money instead of covering herself up.}}

* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Subverted. While one would think that having one of the strongest Sacred Gear that doubles your power every ten seconds would be a big win Issei himself is utterly talentless and has to compensate by going through [[Training From Hell]] to get stronger.

** {{spoiler|Played straight when he's now considered the offspring of both Ophis and Great Red.}}

* [[Technical Pacifist]]: Never kills anybody even though he beats the crap out of them.

Line 193:

* [[The Champion]]: For Rias; he'll do ''anything'' for Rias.

* [[The First Cut Is the Deepest]]: Reynalle's attempt on his life, he feels that even though he would like to pursue a relationship with any member of his unknown (to him) harem, he's scared that he would be rejected almost instantly.

* [[The Heart]]: The occult club sticks together mostly because of him. In fact if he ever decides to leave and form his own group both Asia and Xenovia would go with him.

* [[The Messiah]]: [[Irony|Even though he's a dragon-devil.]]

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Inverted. {{spoiler|Cao Cao, Vali, Sairaorg, and Kiba all express their wishes to defeat Issei one day. Them being all guys, Issei wasn't amused by it.}}

Line 202:

* [[Transformation Sequence]]: When he puts on his Balance Breaker for the first time in the anime.

** [[Transformation Is a Free Action]]: Yet somehow, no one attacks him while he's transforming in this form. Even Maou Ranger Red (Sirzechs) lampshades that it's a rule to never attack while the opponent is transforming.

* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: His main problem once he actually starts getting stronger is that he lacks technique.

* [[The Rival]]: While Vali is more likely his rival thanks to their Sacred Gears, he considers his true rival to be Saji.

* [[The Worf Barrage]]: Possibly the ''weirdest'' one ever. {{spoiler|Dress Break doesn't work on Sairaorg's Bishop because ''she's willing to strip'', thus using said skill would be pointless because ruining a strip show is pretty bad. He then tries to use Bilingual but the only thing that's coming out from her breasts is ''which clothes is she willing to take off next''.}}

** A more serious example would be his Balance Breaker Scale Mail. If you could break his armor that it indicates that your a threat to him. If you can't expect to be utterly destroyed in combat with ease.

* {{spoiler|[[Tranquil Fury]]: He's usually loud and hotblooded, but if he's in this state, you might wanna run away pretty quick.}}

* {{spoiler|[[We Can Rebuild Him]]: His old body is now dead, however thanks to Great Red and Ophis, he's got a new full-time dragon body.}}

Line 235:

* [[Bedmate Reveal]]: Doesn't mind sleeping naked with Issei.

* [[Benevolent Boss]]: She loves her warriors so much she regards them as family rather than employees.

* [[Berserk Button]]: When the three Fallen angels she and Akeno are confronted by in episodes 4 and 5 {{spoiler|say how funny they found Issei being taken in by Yuuma and almost killed by her to be, she only waits long enough for Akeno to tell them they picked a fight with the wrong person before she vaporizes all three of them with a single attack, that's one in total, not one each!}}

** Harming any of her servants in general. Hell, if you harm ''even your own servants'', she'll roast you.

* [[Black Bra and Panties]]

* [[Can't Catch Up]]: Gets hit by this hard. Unlike the rest of the club she doesn't gain any new ability thus she didn't get any stronger than where she was at initially. This means that while she was the strongest in volume 1 by volume 11 she is actually one of the weaker members of the club.

** Hell, even she thought she was [[The Load]] during her and Ise's fight against Sairaorg and his Pawn.

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: As soon as Akeno starts making her moves on Issei, she gets jealous.

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Lovingly-kind or sternly-mature as the situation calls for it.

* [[Cry Cute]]: [http://i.imgur.com/5X9cD.jpg Aww], [[I'm Taking Her Home with Me|Can I Take Her Home With Me?]]

* [[Crutch Character]]: At the start, she's the strongest member in the club. By the middle part of the series, she's now just at the middle rank. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] because, [[Fridge Brilliance|Kings in chess are pretty weak.]]

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]

* [[Face Palm]]: Does this all the time.

* [[Foreign Fanservice]]: Although they look to have similar skin tone after Issei's mother walks in on the pair naked in bed together she specifically tells his father he's in bed with a foreign girl.

* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]

* [[Idiot Hair]]

Line 253:

* [[Made of Temptation]]: Successfully tempts Rossweisse to join the group as a teacher despite her age.

* [[Meganekko]]: Sometimes wears one even though she has good vision.

* [[Magnetic Hero]]: She has gathered quite a lot of powerful and special people in her group even before meeting Issei.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Lias' Pawn is a [[wikipedia:Fairy chess piece#Notable examples|Fairy Chess Piece]] that can also move sideways. It was proposed as a way to 'shake up' the rules of chess, as Issei does for the Rating Game.

* [[Mistress and Servant Boy]]: She is the mistress and Issei is the servant.

Line 261:

* [[Out-Gambitted]]: {{spoiler|By Souna.}}

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Her power.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[Red Baron]]: Crimson-haired Ruin Princess.

** [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: Later on, she becomes known as Switch Princess much to her embarrassment and blames Bikou for it.

* [[Red Headed Heroine]]

Line 272:

=== Akeno Himejima [[Chess Motifs|"The Queen"]] ===

One of the devils in the service of Rias, she is also part of the Occult Research Club and acts as the main confidant of Rias.

{{spoiler|She's actually a half-human and a half-fallen angel who resents her father because other fallen angels killed her mother, so she enters in the service of Rias as revenge.}}

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Gets better has she becomes more exposed to the world.

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]

* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Twice in fact. The first time was when Twilight Healing was taken away from her and the second time was when {{spoiler|Diodora had her as a hostage.}}

Line 337:

----

* [[The Ace]]: Has lots of Fangirls compared to the unpopular Issei, plus he is intelligent and quite powerful. [[Lampshaded]] in the anime's end credits, there's a playing card theme, and Kiba is shown as the Ace of spades. Also a really good [[Foreshadowing]] too, see below this trope.

** [[Broken Ace]]: Despite his cool appearence it is shown in Volume 3 that {{spoiler|Kiba has a obsession with revenge which makes him hot-tempered and irrational}}.

* [[Achilles Heel]]: He realizes that if his legs are damaged, then he'll lose overall combat performance. {{spoiler|And it shows by Siegfried almost dominating against Kiba when the latter's legs were getting weak.}}

* [[Achilles' Heel]]: He realizes that if his legs are damaged, then he'll lose overall combat performance. {{spoiler|And it shows by Siegfried almost dominating against Kiba when the latter's legs were getting weak.}}

* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: Apologizes to his enemies whenever Issei breaks out a new perverted technique, much to the latter's frustration.

* [[Badass]]

** {{spoiler|[[Handicapped Badass]]: Had one of his arms sliced off by Siegfried. He still kept on going, especially after Siegfried pushed his [[Berserk Button]].}}

Line 362:

* {{spoiler|[[I Owe You My Life]]: After Issei saves him. To the point that he'll die for Issei, although Issei just thinks it's creepy.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Me's a Crowd]]: His ''second'' Sacred Gear when it was known that a user only gets to use one Sacred Gear at most.}}

* [[Nice Guy]]: Despite Issei's initial rudeness towards him he still is as polite and even encourges Issei more so then the rest of the Occult Club with the exception of Rias.

* [[Oh Crap]]: When Issei fired his Dragon shot on him when they were training.

* {{spoiler|[[Revenge]]: His entire reason for becoming a devil under Rias' service is to find and destroy all the holy swords.}}

Line 375:

----

* [[A-Cup Angst]]: She alludes to this when {{spoiler|asking Issei to have sex with her.}}

** Also prevalent in the manga when she takes a villain's comment about her size to be about her...ahem...size. She then throws a ton of stuff at him.

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't call her "little" or she'll throw things at you, lots of them, in rapid succession.

Line 381:

* {{spoiler|[[Catgirl]]}}

* [[Can't Catch Up]]

* [[Character Development]]: At the start she was rather harsh to Issei. After Issei proves his determination and strength she eventually warms up to him. {{spoiler|It gets to the point where she eventually fell in love with him. She doesn't even mind having sex with him!}}.

* [[Cute Bruiser]]

* [[Crutch Character]]: She ends up as the weakest combat unit. {{spoiler|She eventually asks Kuroka for help to get stronger.}}

Line 404:

----

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Lacks a lot of common sense.

* [[Cool Sword]]: Current wielder of Durandal.

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Usually wields Durandal but sometimes she wields it alongside {{spoiler|Ascalon whenever Issei lends it to her.}}

Line 412:

* [[Mama Bear]] : {{spoiler|When Asia is taken, she VAPORIZES two of the devils who got in her way.}}

* [[Murder Is the Best Solution]]: Done with any talks before the fight? She'll fire off the first blow before anyone else, much to Issei's consternation.

* [[No Social Skills]]: Talks about condoms and having babies to Issei out loud in frond of everybody. Needless to say she doesn't have the slightest social grace.

* [[Pillar of Light]]: What happens when she combines Durandal with Ascalon.

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]] : She does this with her sword.

Line 422:

He's the bishop that Rias had before she found Issei. He's also a [[Dhampyr|half-vampire half-human]] who doesn't even want to suck blood.

----

* [[Achilles Heel]]: Garlic

* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Garlic

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]] : {{spoiler|He was prevented from learning about Issei's "death" because it would be too traumatic. Then, while he is fighting, one of the [[Badass|Hero Faction]] ''[[I Shall Taunt You|taunts]]'' him with the truth. Gasper loses it and takes him apart.}}

Line 428:

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Rias had stated back in the first volume that she had already used one of her bishop pieces when she revived Asia. He makes his first appearance in the middle of the fourth volume.

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Happens anytime he uses his Sacred Gear powers. {{spoiler|And when he uses ''his powers and not his Sacred Gear'', Kiba outright narrated that his fight against [[Alternate Dimension|George]] wasn't even a fight at all.}}

* [[Determinator]]: In Volume 10, {{spoiler|During the Bael vs Gremory match when Xenovia's ability got sealed he used his body as a shield to protect her}}.

* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: When he drinks Issei's dragon blood, his full power manifests.

* [[No Social Skills]]: Thinks cross-dressing is perfectly acceptable.

** [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Not that anyone would know if they were not told.

* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: A cross-dressing vampire to be exact.

* [[Superpower Lottery]]: [[Lampshaded]] by Issei when he complains about how broken stopping time is. {{spoiler|And that's not even counting what he has ''without his Sacred Gear.''}}

* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: Issei can't seem to think of him as a guy seeing as he covers himself in a towel from the chest.

* [[Time Stands Still]]: His Sacred Gear, Forbidden Balor View.

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Garlic]]: One of his main [[Achilles Heel]], something Issei notes that he needs to get out of.

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Garlic]]: One of his main [[Achilles' Heel]], something Issei notes that he needs to get out of.

=== Rossweiss [[Chess Motifs|"The Rook"]] ===

Line 459:

* [[Serious Business]]: Money is serious business for this woman.

* [[Valkyries]]

* [[Yandere]]: At least according to Issei's description of her.

* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]: At least according to Issei's description of her.

* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Looks and acts like a mature person, but is only around the group's age.

Line 468:

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Childhood Friend]]: Of Issei back when they were kids. Whether she's going to be victorious or not is another story, however [[Word of God|the author]] [[Victorious Childhood Friend|did promise that everyone was going to get a happy ending though...]]

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Like Asia and Xenovia.

* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: What does she say when she sees {{spoiler|Issei groping both Xenovia and Asia?}}

{{quote|'''Irina''': ''"Go, go do it on a bed! This is too dirty, the hygiene is terrible in this place!"''}}

Line 483:

The leader of the fallen angel faction, he first appears in the 4th Volume when Issei mentions that he's one of his primary contractors. He then joins the club as the adviser after being asked by Souna and Sirzechs.

----

* [[The Ace]]: He's a [[Mad Scientist]] that reached several breakthroughs with sacred gears and even created a artifical sacred gear. He's also a exceptional [[Badass]] that is the [[Authority Equals Asskicking|leader of the Fallen Angels]]. To top it off he's [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|extremely successful with women]]. Needless to say he could be called perfect in everyway.

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: How he's described by Issei.

* [[Badass]]: Anyone who could hack their arm ''without flinching'' has gotta be hardcore.

Line 497:

* [[Cool Teacher]]

* [[First-Person Smartass]]: Whenever the narration goes to him, he's pretty snarky.

* [[The Gadfly]]: Loves trolling Issei for the hell of it.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: He can kick ass and he can also study how to kick ass.

* {{spoiler|[[Mistaken for Terrorist]]: He's accused of being a [[Hypocrite]] that he's working together with terrorists when he's the one who's wanting peace the most. Needless to say, he's not amused.}}

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|Him inviting Ophis to Issei's house in hopes that there will be peace could be one, except it was the lesser of two evils. If he didn't accept Vali's request, worse things could have happened with [[The Alliance]] and they would have never been able to gain an ''extremely'' powerful ally later on (that being Ophis).}}

* [[Oh Crap]]: When he realizes [[Hilarity Ensues|he's getting ganged up by the group for starting the entire mess]] of the Issei clones.

* [[Powered Armor]]: He uses it infused with Fafnir's spirit. Unlike other Sacred Gears, his is only artificial.

Line 537:

== Student Council ==

Troops relating to them:

* [[Can't Catch Up]]: With the exception of Saji their overall strength haven't improved compared to Occult Club's consistantly improving members.

* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Their rather strong but compared to Rias's group their lacking in firepower.

* [[Weak but Skilled]]: Compared to [[Unskilled but Strong|Rias group]] in rating games. They did research on Rias group and used [[The Plan]] to almost win.

=== Sona Sitri ===

Line 689:

** [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Despite the fact that he still acts like a jerk towards Rias and still kissed his servants in front the group, he actually gave a lot of good advice to Rias and told Issei that if Issei is defeated, it is a blow to Rias. Not to mention, he's the one who gave Rias a handicap and told her that their Rating Game will take place in 10 days and tells her that if she wants to do it now, he knows he'll curb stomp them.

* [[Playing with Fire]]

* [[Superpower Lottery]]: His main strong point is that he can't be killed. As you can imagine that is enough to get through most enemies.

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Towards Issei {{spoiler|when Raiser is finally healed from his dragon trauma.}}

Line 699:

----

* [[Ars Goetia]]

* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: He is memorable for being the first villain that Issei completely [[Curb Stomp Battle|overpowered]]. Unlike all the former villains who are all stronger then Issei.

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Was only mentioned as part of Asia's [[Backstory]] in the first volume before he makes his appearance.

* {{spoiler|[[Netorare]]: Tells Issei that he'll steal Asia. [[Curb Stomp Battle|Three guesses how that ended.]]}}

Line 718:

* {{spoiler|[[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Tells the Gremory group to never give up in believing that Issei will come [[Back From the Dead]] seeing as he hasn't made out with Rias yet. Without the hitting part of course [[Charles Atlas Superpower|because of the obvious.]]}}

* [[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen]]: Requests from Sirzechs to lift up the rules that restrict the Gremory team so that they can fight at full power.

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Noted by both Issei and Kiba to be fast, strong and durable. Considering how strong Issei is and how fast Kiba is we can take their word for it.

* [[Megaton Punch]]: Enough to knock out ''anybody''.

* [[Muggle Born of Mages]]: Well, the equivalent of devils, but he still counts.

Line 844:

=== Hades ===

The [[Big Bad]] of the third arc of the series. He's also manipulating the Chaos Brigade to start the war in hell.

----

* [[Big Bad]]: Of the third arc.

Line 903:

Currently the possessor of Divine Dividing (the Sacred Gear which seals the White Dragon Albion), he's also a half-human half-devil in the service of Azazel who then defected to the Chaos Brigade because peace is boring for him. Also original Lucifer's great grandson but doesn't seem to care about that.

----

* [[The Ace]]: He's descended from the orginal maou and as such has enough magical power and potential to learn norse magic from reading it without any practice. He's also extremely strong and can mantain balance breaker for months according to Azazel. To top it off he could control and use Juggernaut Drive for a few minutes without losing control which nobody can do. This is all to make him more of a [[Foil]] to Issei.

* [[Achilles Heel]]: Like Issei, he's also weak to both anti-dragon and anti-devil attacks (former because he's well, a dragon, and the latter is because he's a descendant of the real Lucifer).

* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Like Issei, he's also weak to both anti-dragon and anti-devil attacks (former because he's well, a dragon, and the latter is because he's a descendant of the real Lucifer).

* [[Ars Goetia]]

* [[Badass]]

Line 915:

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Delivers this to Kokabiel.

** And another even shorter battle with {{spoiler|Pluto.}}

**** [[Divide by Zero]]: How he [[One-Hit Kill|OHKs]] {{spoiler|Pluto.}}

* [[Foil]]: To Issei. He's talented and remarked to be the strongest holder of Divine Dividing thus far while Issei lacks any kind of talent and is remarked to be the weakest holder of Boasted Gear thus far. Also in terms of personality he is a [[Blood Knight]] who is not interested in sex while Issei is [[Lovable Sex Maniac|obsessed with sex]] and hates fighting.

* [[I Was Just Passing Through]]: His excuse for {{spoiler|rescuing Asia from the void. Turns out, he was also trying to get Gogmagog and he just happened to see Asia in there.}}

* [[The Juggernaut]]: He also has access to Juggernaut Drive but it won't kill him because he can temporarily control it by consuming his vast magic reserves inherited from being a direct descendant of the original Lucifer.

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Is very fast and hits hard.

* [[Not Distracted by the Sexy]]: Always kept getting teased by Kuroka to make out with her already but he never does.

* [[The Plan]]: Him helping out the Kuou group was because he wanted to take Fenrir. The group however just only needed his teeth, and yet he [[Took a Third Option]].

Line 925:

* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Won it big. Not only is he the holder of Divine Dividing which has the utterly hax ability to divide half of a opponents power and add it to his own power but he also is a descendant of the old Lucifer meaning he has a unnataural ammount of magical energy plus he has enough talent to learn most spells by just reading about them.

* [[The Rival]]: To Issei.

** [[Privileged Rival]]: He's descended from the old Lucifer and is thus extremely magically talented. This contrasts with Issei's lack of talent in magic and his normal background.
