So can it be said that Vali is a good guy now? If that's true he's kinda like Vegeta from Dragonball Z. He goes from being a villain, to an anti-hero to being a hero. I kinda like that. Which makes Issei like Goku, because he's the happy-go-lucky hero who everybody relies on in a pinch. Also coz like Goku, he's not exactly the brightest bulb in the batch, but he's still strong.
