What speculation?

~I don't think Belial would have much of an effect on this Volume. The focus is on the exorcists and stopping their coup d'etat.

What I envision that would happen is that after DxD resolves the situation, they would receive the news that something bad happened to Raiser; then the focus would be shifted to Belial for the next Volume.
