well what I meant it doesn't make sense that he is not already beyond Satan class bescause the weakest thing his base form is made form is his human soul which is being transformed by ophis power which implys some form of transcendence is happening which would conflict with is devil nature. So the only reason I could see a body made by Two dragon gods is not beyong Satan level is if an internal conflict of power was causing damage that would kill a weaker body that personally was the only reason I could see is body being as weak as it is right now in the story. as I said before I may be wrong but is the only way I personally can see Issei base being weak when I see the fact of what Issei's Base form is made up of.
