Except Cao Cao is pretty much Sairaorg and Vali at this point. When I say main cast, I don't mean in the literal sense, I mean in that he reoccurs often enough that a character appearing calling him an enemy seems like a little late in the game. Such a character would have been better suited appearing while Cao Cao was still a villain. Then, I'd be on board with that theory.

Mutation Pieces are the outlier here. If he has enough mutation pieces, he could do some very fun stuff. Like get a Longinus user or something for fewer pieces.

I'd be on board for the Asura and Deva stuff. I think the foreshadowing between Shiva and the Prince of Asura is clear indication that its not just talk, the war is probably happening.

In fact, part of me feels like that Shiva and Indra might start making promises to other factions in turn for support. It could end up being a very large-scale battle.

I don't quite understand why people are so insistent on Bennia staying with Sona. If she leaves, don't be surprised. They've already introduced her as a fan of Issei, which is what Le Fey started off as. People feel that the peerage members need to be obvious right now. Bennia could fall in love and be recuited later, its not too late for something like that. I don't think Issei is filling out his whole peerage until much later on, just like Rias wasn't done until like 6 to 7 volumes into the story.

No, Issei has stated multiple times that his peerage isn't just about his harem anymore, when he was talking to Xenovia about leaving Rias's peerage to start his own, he made it clear it was because he wanted to prove that he was a man worthy of being with her. Issei is going to use the WRC as his proving grounds. The fact he proposed to Rias before it makes that sort of obvious. He planned on proposing, proving his worth, and then marrying her. That is his plan. Issei doesn't care when it comes to fighting people like Sairaorg and Vali in Rias's peerage, he'll fight just like he always does. The only merit of him fighting on his own is that it shows his skills as a leader. Him taking Rias as a Queen would not be a bad thing, in fact, the two already have so many combo attacks, not to mention she re-charges him, I don't really see anyone being better suited to be his Queen.

We all know at some point this series is going to stop being about Rias's peerage and start being about Issei's. Issei is the main character. His Rating Games are the focus of this story. In fact, even from the sound of the spoilers, its Issei's matches that are focused on, Rias's aren't even mentioned.
