Totally agree on the Bilingual reveal and Xenovia's 'holy cannon'.

And I REEEEAAAALLLY hope Funi's not gonna go w/"Booblingual". I cringed when I saw that. That'd be as lame as "Gasper Bloody". Ugh...

Lastly, the scene when Diodora's boasting about being able to kill Issei w/one hit thanks to having Ophis's snake and Issei instantly closes the distance and punches him in the gut so hard Diodora vomits blood, interrupting his rant (which was spot on); in the LN while Diodora's bent over in pain, Issei says a line that goes like, "You were saying something about a one-hit-kill?" I LOVED that line in the LN and was a little disappointed they left it out.

Same goes for leaving out the part where Xenovia wanted to finish Diodora off but Issei gives logical reasons for sparing him. I'm sure there were plenty of fans who've only watched the anime that were wondering about that.
