Does anyone else think that issei is given to big off a bad rep in knowledge and strength. I mean other then Saji, issei's the only one of the main cast that had no prior involvement with the supernatural world  and as such he never had any prior learning or training in the supernatural knowledge. True enough issei can be argued to be a bad charcter in other departements depending on how people like him and such, but he's not as stop and as weak as people say, he's honestly done well because by volume 10 he's already stronger then Rias and can match Sairaorg, the strongest youth one-on-one. it seems like  he's just being kept like that to fill the old trope of having the main protagonis domb and weak to answer questions the audience may have  and to keep things intersting. Also, he's out-witted people like CaoCao, so called prodigy's so it's not like he hasn't done great. does anyone selse tink that's the case?
