"you clearly did not read any of the battles in the novel." Excuse me? I've been reading thses novels ever since they were first translated and I've re-read the whole series several times to make sure I didn't miss anything, I think I know the battles pretty damn well, even if I'm not an accounted user here.

"You think none of them weren't  serious." It fucking depends, you can be serious and still have a fight that isn't to the death, which is my point, however a serious fight has serious consequences, as anyone (including me) can tell you if you've ever been in a ring fighting or sparring.

"Your train of thought is if there's nothing to gain or lose, it's not serious." False argument.

"You were gender discrimination too that woman aren't warriors. Who cares if she's a princess, she's proven countless times how strong she is, her intellect and her leadership skills." You're a jibbering moron.

1) WHERE did I imply WOMEN could not be warriors, FYI one of my most respected martial arts seniors is a WOMAN, who could kick my ass, and I'm not a push over. And I am well acquainted with the warriors of history, hell the entirity of DxD has great female warriors, like Xenovia, but Rias is not one of them, and factually speaking neither is most of her female peerage, being afighter and a warrior are 2 different things.

2) Proven how strong she is? Sure, but Issei is kilometers ahead of her at this point and fighting power is not the same as being a warrior. Even Issei only recently became a warrior. in the Novels they call this being a Battle-freak.

3) Her intellect and leadership skills are not qualities that are possesses exclusively by warriors or is necessary to being a warrior or any other type of person, and that differentiates her from Issei who is still developing such abilities and is thus incomplete in that sense, unlike Rias who has been preparing for this and testing it out all her life.

"The match with  Sairaorg wasn't serious". HAHAHA WHAT? Oh yeah the match were Kiba, Akeno, Rossweisse, Xenovia, Koneko and Gasper got beaten to a pulp (not to mention sairorg's peerage), is totally not serious, not to mention the final fight where Rias was nearly killed, the Juggernaut Drive was nearly revived and Sairaorg fought until he was unconscious is totally not serious. That was a fight of friendly rivals seeking to beat each other, the same way Issei and Vali fight, and the same way he and Saji fight.

"If all he needed was to win beating Typhoon would have been a way or reaching the top but why didn't he." I explained why: 1) Vidar had no intention of letting Issei fight Typhon 2) Issei was motivated by the prior events of the marriage interview to beat Vidar OVER Rossweisse's future 3) Vidar and Issei became friendly rivals as well and thus were fighting a warriors competition of skill, strength and determination

None of these things is present in the Rias v Issei match. Rias is not the reason Issei is fighting, he is fighting AGAINST her which conflicts him, should he throw the match and lose to prevent her and his friends from getting hurt, or should he press on and beat her to prove his ability of being a King in his own right. He was proven his ability as a warrior in the fights but a warrior and leader are not the same, Rias is capable of fighting but her main asset is her ability to direct her peerage, which Issei lacks in.

"I'll say it again you do not know enough about Issei personality or emotional about the story." Actually I'm on the spot here. All your examples are literally of fights OVER or FOR something or someone he loves, but never against someone cares for who isn't also his rival. Rias is not his rival, but his lover, and thus to fight as if they were rivals is the conflict and the metaphorical wall she represents; He must either overcome his emotional ties or risk failing. The only fight that wasn't over something more serious than a victory win was the Dulio and Issei brawl and that was only because things became heated, the way they do in sports, however Dulio and Issei are also, once again RIVALS. Rias, as I say for the umpteenth time, is NOT a rival.
