I highly believe that Issei and Rias will have a match in the finals. He can't have a match against her in the traditional Rating Games due to him being her pawn. He's going to have multiple opportunities to fight Riser, Ruval, Sairaorg, Sona, Seekvaira, Diehauser, Tannin, and so many more when he starts competing in the professional Rating Games. While this is basically his only chance to fight Rias. I'm just excited about Issei vs Kiba and Gasper. That will be epic.
