Rias that defeat Issei could be a very great plotwist, but is better that Issei win because until now we have only a match of Rias( VS Vali and she was the loser, so I don't think that Rias's victory is the goal of Ishibumi in this arc), when we have see 4 matches of Issei( V.22, V23, DX4 and V.25). I don't want that the work that Ishibumi have make about Issei such King and Ravel like great strategist going to be blessing inside a toilet. Also in Shin DXD afterworld the writter affirmed that in the next turn of the tournament we will see only the matches of Issei and Vali, about this I can be wrong.
