Ok review time, and a little disclaimer before you start reading, no I do not care if the anime goes original, no I do not care if it completely derails and goes off its own, if I want just the LN I will just read it again, with that said lets begin

Ok so before we see the conversation with Kuroka we get a scene with Issei wanting to ask for help with the dimensional gap. I don't understand this part, Azazel says would you stop being a devil.....not sure how that will happen, they will just become fallen angels, they have technology that makes them into fallen angels, when was this introduced, did he just mean Grigori because I don't think that will actually solve the problem with Devils working with Khaos Brigade and then just leaving to be with Grigori, that plan is flawed they are still devils in another group, people will then likely realize that they left because of the incident it would solve nothing. Whatever they go on continue and eventually Sirzechs agrees to the poorly thought out plan, that Issei came up with on the fly.

Next Kuroka had came as Issei and Koneko had asked and then asked to speak with Vali, I wonder why they were able to contact Kuroka but not Vali, what type of communication did she have with her, did she just yell out "Kuroka" and then she came, how exactly was this possible. Kuroka then decides to get Vali to talk with them, in the condition that Koneko comes with her.....big surprise. Issei says no and then.....gets in her face and tells her to do it.....honestly mistakes were made on Issei's when he thought about this plan of his. Luckily for Issei Vali was there all along and they say hi. Vali teases Issei on the possibility of not doing what he asks, which results into Issei willing to fight Vali.....so beat up the guy you are trying to get to help you......Issei did not think this plan through at all. Any ways he eventually says yes and then the ORC goes to the dimensional gap where the problems really start.

Arthur who is with them, explains that and I am not kidding, they need to have Rias in their hearts and she will come to them. Applying that logic, shouldn't Vali have seen Great Red in the dimensional gap, he wanted to fight him, that was in his heart so why not, why was this able to happen and not that. Vali was no longer in the dimensional gap when he saw Great Red so why didn't Great Red come to them when he wanted him? Any ways Rias comes in and Asia, not remembering what had happened at the ORC, goes to her, was she not listening I guess will chalk that up to her just being overly happy to see her. She is saved, and then the ORC decide they have to fight Rias in order to save Rias. Yet another problem occurs here, during the fight, Gasper is unable to use his time stop, why! that makes no sense. Issei could use his sacred gear, kiba could his sacred gear, so why not Gasper we see his powers are working fine with his vampiric abilities so why not these?

Rias with her power of destruction powers causes a wave of energy to come out and nearly kill them, but they are saved by different assortments and then Rias is consume by that red shard, and has a woman style balance breaker of scale mail. Issei realizes that he has to fight Rias and so goes into his balance breaker state to fight her himself, as the ORC goes into a black hole and leaves.....that one will definitely be explained some where along the lines.

So ending thoughts didn't care for it much. This wasn't really all that great logically thinking. Gasper's powers not working yet everyone else's were, it just doesn't look or seem logical at all. Rias coming because she was in their hearts. Also scale mail undies? I don't think I can take a fight with something like that too seriously. In the end I didn't like it and it just wasn't for me, no fanservice, it didn't make sense, it just fell flat to me.

Result: 3/10
