Let's do a break-up on Rias' team then.


 * 1) Rias - Ultimate-class Devil in strength.
 * 2) Akeno - Presumably equal to Rias, so also Ultimate-class Devil in strength.
 * 3) Koneko - well not sure how much her Shirone mode has improved but she's definitely stronger than in Volume 16.
 * 4) Yuuto - I don't think he needs too much introduction, he's probably the only member of Rias' real team (not Azazel Cup team) that can fight Ise. And he still has power-ups yet to obtain.
 * 5) Gasper - And this guy is probably the only guy that can beat Ise and his entire team. He's a freaking hack in a sense. If he's allow to use his full potential that is.
 * 6) Valerie - The Holy Grail possessor who can enhance and heal. Now normally i wouldn't would put too much into her, but Valerie's role is very versatile here. We know that she can enhance living beings, but maybe she could enhance animated and inanimate objects too. I can't really move out the possibility of Valerie enhancing Kiba's swords and Dragon Knights or even Koneko's Shirone Mode etc. That's something that is extremely useful if used correctly.
 * 7) Lint - well we know that Freed was quite strong, so if she's as strong as Freed, she could be a decent fighter too. Not to mention with Valerie is around, she could help enhance the girl too. See Valerie is useful isn't she.
 * 8) Vasco - Now normally i wouldn't act like he's a really big deal even if he's the strongest Durandal possessor and now has the Durandal II, he's still quite old and can get tired more easily now. Until Valerie gave him a younger body. Arthur himself even said it if Vasco was 10 years younger, he could've put up a better fight. Not sure how much younger did Valerie made him, but i'm assuming it's somewhere around the years Arthur mentioned 10-20. So he's probably a bigger threat now than he is in Volume 19.
 * 9) Crom Cruach - Does he need any introduction, he's probably even stronger than Ddraig or Albion now. And is without the doubt the biggest threat in Rias' team.
