Well, while I agree with you 100% about it putting them at least on equal footings, I worry Vali might actually be at a disadvantage. True, right now, they are about equal, but you heard Ajuka, a complete DxD, AxA, and ExE in the waiting? Can Vali compensate for that?

I liked the idea about Lilith having a connection to Trihexa and Vali getting some kind of Trihexa related power-up, because Trihexa is pretty much to Great Red what Albion is to Ddraig, so it would really help establish Vali as Issei's equal. Otherwise, I worry Issei may surpass him later as things stand.
