Power seems to be a bit of ambigous term, I assume a persons power is the total summation of their magic, strength and speed. Sairaorg is more powerful than Rias despite having no magic because his strength is overwhelming. The fact that Kiba is ultimate class in total but has beyond maou class speed is completely reasonable because the vast majority of maou class people are their because of their magic with only a few exceptions, never the less for his speed to jump from maou to HD is rediculus, its not just about overall power its the fact that a guy who is ultimate class shouldnt be HD in any aspect, I would argue the best he should reach would be God class. His ability to actually defeat HD isn't the problem, its the fact that an ultimate class devil with around maou class speed has suddenly become fast enough to compete with a physical based heavenly dragon (Issei really isnt the magic type), its an asspull, no one else in the series has made a leap like that except the MC and in his defence he had the dragon god of infinity lend him her power... Kiba's non longinus sacred gear is what enabled him to move at HD speeds, its bolloks, who exactly at this point can now compete with Kiba? Also you didnt answer, since Kiba's got HD level speed (his special area) would you object to any of the others I mentioned getting HD class in their soecific areas?
