@chichiryuushintei you're forgetting that all Vali needs is a single clean hit or even just a touch to activate his Compression Divider, but I do agree, Issei is definitely superior to Vali at this point. Vali's EJOD only lasted a minute at most in his fight with Pluto, but Issei lasted an entire fight against a Super Devil, albeit the weakest one, in DxD mode.
