Issei losing by 2 points (144-146) and the time limit because heaven was cheap and low enough to use Gabriel isn't really a loss in my book. The fact that Issei with his majority devil team went toe to toe against the best heaven has even with his huge disadvantage shows how much he's progressed. And now all of a sudden people are talking like Issei of all people won't make it to the finals? Seriously? It was just revealed he hasn't even touched Great Reds power, that he's going to unlock full DxD mode and then going to fuse both Ophis AND Great Reds power into even more broken shit. Not to mention it was just revealed Issei can use the Boosted Gear Scalemail Wyverns on other people not just Rias. Is everyone just going stupid except me?
