Now for the other person whl replied.

"It's not BECAUSE she is a princess she is not a warrior, but because of who she is and what she does she is a princess. She is not on the frontlines most of the time"

Correction, Rias does often be on the frontlines. Azazel even scolded her because she does that too much. The difference between her and Issei is Issei charges in first which was a bad habbit of his. But than again, some kings like to take the iniative. Sairaorg and Vali are examples of depending on who there opponents.

"Your understanding of this is based solely on the idea that Issei is confident in battle... yes, against rivals and enemies, not against his lovers."

And like I told the other guy. When it comes to the tournament. They are not friends or lovers. They are enemies. Again, volume 22 declaration made this clear. Why do you think they keep secrets about their team's information from each other? Issei was surprised when he found of about Strada and Crom being on her team and Rias was surprised when she learned Grayfia was on Issei's team. Rias didn't want to tell anything about Lint to Issei and Rias was shocked when she learned about Xenovia's collaboration technique with Issei and she was shocked that Xenovia had Excalibur's Scabbard.

"The author put in a lot the details in those fights in Rating Games and this person has nerve to say there not serious, then he doesn't know what serious is."

Now you're just putting words in my mouth. I never said anything about them not being serious. Both Rias and Issei are competitive but as I said many times. This is not a death match. Issei wants to beat Rias but he won't look down on her by going easy on her.
