Making Isseiundefeatable is a great way to ruin this series. Even with all the power-ups Issei isn't perfect. You're going to win some, you're going to lose some. Just a natural part of life. Issei vs Dulio was an excellent match. Don't know why people are mad that Issei lost since one, it was a Rating Game. 2nd, losing doesn't mean he won't make it into the finals. Third, someone's winning streakj had to end. Fourth, he only lost by two points. I don't know why people are freaking out over Issei losing one match like he just lost the tournament. Even someone as powerful as Issei is going to lose sometimes. He's fighting in a tournament where even gods are competing. Is it a surprise he would lose?

And Rating Games are meant to rate teams, not just to see who's stronger than the other. There was a time limit for Issei's and Dulio's Rating Game, so it couldn't be helped. There are Rating Games where being stronger than your opponent mean absolutely nothing. Issei is learning as he goes. Issei is adjusting as king and getting used to being in the driver's seat. He's going to slowly get adjusted to Rating Games. And he will fight some powerful opponents and one of them has to win, so no need to feel bad if Issei loses. Issei is going to win his fair share of matches and he is going to lose his fair share.
