So Issei gained a new power but loses the Dividing Gear. Team DxD seems really nice, the members are good too. Gasper has a God in his SG, that explains his power. Rizevim seems very powerful.

Wait so Sirzechs' team doesn't have any Sacred Gear possessors in it because of Rizevim, does it mean that Sirzechs is also preparing to battle Rezevim if necessary.

I wonder if Ddraig and Albion's reason of fighting is revealed, and they stop fighting thanks to the Pantsu Dragon lol.

I guess Issei won't be able to do much against Rizevim unless he learns how to fight without his Sacred Gear. So Issei doesn't get any new girl, too bad, i guess all the talk about him getting Valerie won't happen.
