Do the forms aren't actually melded with Issei and Vali? Good to know.

What I was mostly talking about was specifically what "Abyss Side" was even supposed to mean. Because using the term "side" kind of implies that there is more than one side you can use.

But if the term means "abyss" in the sense that Tobio is drawing the absolute whole of his Sacred Gear and becoming one with it, then it makes you wonder if all gears would be capable of this, not just ones with beasts or heavenly dragons sealed inside of them like Breakdown or Juggernaut.

If that is the case, then I sort of question if Abyss is just the normal gear equivalent, but then that begs to question why Tobio could use it. Does Canin Lykaon have a dog sealed in it, or does it just take the form of a dog? If it doesn't, then perhaps that is the case, and its the normal gear equivalent.

Because it just seems that without the fusion, its just like a Juggernaut Drive or Breakdown the Beast, bringing out the "true power" of the gear.
