@Omega64 Yes Vali and Cao Cao have nothing to do with what Roygun did. I'm using them as a comparison by saying that your misdeeds and crimes won't be forgotten, but can be forgiven.

I'm not saying that Roygun doesn't deserve to be punished for what she did. But you're making her current ban from competing in the Rating Games as a king seem like it's permanent and that no matter what Roygun does she won't be able to compete as a king in the Rating Games ever again.

You're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm not saying that she shouldn't be paying for what she did. I'm saying that I don't think it's going to be a life ban on her competing.

Again she has pledged herself to Issei so she can redeem herself and compete in the Rating Games once again as a king. That's because Issei is seen as a hero not just by the Underworld but by the supernatural world at large. By connecting herself to him she can redeem herself and be able to compete as a king in the Rating Games again through Issei's influence.

When was it ever implied she was going to be Issei's rook? Issei met Roygun in Volume 23 and if she was going to be his rook, it would have been happened by now.

The way she's being built into the story seems to be in a mentor/advisor role more than anything else.

Diehauser initially allied himself with Rizevim to get answers about his cousin Cleria's death. While he may have planned to thwart Rizevim, he still assisted a known terrorist take Agreas just because he wanted answers about his cousin's death. And still spread chaos across the Underworld with the revelation of the king piece and the manipulation of the Rating Games. Even if you can say he allied temporarily with Rizevim for a good reason, it doesn't make what he did any less wrong.

But back to what we're talking about, I see it as possible for Roygun to be forgiven in the future for what she did. Especially by being on Issei's team in the Azazel Cup and redeeming herself.
