So.....that happened

Ok so first we have Issei and Rias fighting, with flashbacks happening. They fight and more freaking flashbacks. Fight again and what is this more freaking flashbacks. Ok I understand TNK is trying to make an intense moment here but when the entire fight is just a freaking flashback you are taken out of the actual fight and just don't care anymore. I stopped caring and said alright just bring on the next thing because this isn't interesting.

We also see the ORC (the whole black hole thing swallowing them up and them coming out on the other side is not going to get explained is it?) and all they can do is hope and wait, not going to try and find Vali, because hey we're devils and praying and not taking action is better then actually, you know trying to find the guy who could actually help us.

Any ways Rias finally is brought back to her senses and Issei hold her. Anyone else wish Issei would have gotten naked as well as Rias. Yea weird thing to want but I just wanted to have an actual comparison of his body from then and now, and having that as a money shot might have well stopped someone who might still be complaining about Issei's body not looking different, but oh well that isn't happening either. Any ways then the fake Issei comes along, and changes into Juggernaut Drive. Issei then uses a type of triana its not triana it is something like it, and is able to destroy JD.

Rias and Issei then travel through the Dimensional gap, and WTF am I seeing there. Are we in someone's skin or something and what the heck is a giant fish there for. Did he come to try and kill great red like Vali but was killed instead, so if we are going on the theory that there are multiple dimensions then this must be....fish Vali. Any ways they continue along and see Great Red, who uses his power to make them see their dreams. Why was this not explained, I had to think for a moment what exactly was going on, but I remembered Great Red had the power to realize dreams, but why couldn't they explain it. If you hadn't remembered that you would have been completely loss in this scene.

Moving along Rias and Issei are on some type of beach and eventually Issei says her name, I am not sure why him saying her name was cut out, he said it a ton of times before, they should have just left it in, it really didn't have that much of an impact at all, but whatever the two return to the other side, some how, I don't even care anymore I have theories but they didn't explain anything so nothings concrete. And coincidentally they don't remember what happened at the beach, what a let down. That entire sequence of events was proven moot. There was no point to any of this, we knew about Issei never stopping to protect Rias, we knew Rias wanted Issei to call her by her name, we knew all of this because we paid attention to previous seasons, they just hammered in the entire thing for 2 episodes without reason. Yea its filler, but no filler has ever left me so, empty I guess you could say, unsatisfied by my time watching this.

Lets brush pass this for a little while, and come back to possibly, the worse parents in the Dxdverse, or maybe irresponsible would be the correct word. Either way their naivety will get them killed crossing fingers for volume 20 Any ways we infer, yes we infer, that they let Rossweisse stay with them after Rias makes her a new rook.

Then Issei wakes up, and I can't help but laugh at how ridiculous this fanservice is being pushed into our face, I mean literally Akeno was naked in Issei's bed and why the heck Xenovia have her shirt all the way up, it just looks like they were trying to hard to show us breasts. Any ways Rias then talks with Issei, I guess they couldn't talk in the room because everyone was asleep. So she put on some clothes as and Issei went to the top of the house. They talk about their warm feeling, Rias unknowing talking about Issei calling her Rias and Issei knowing the warm feeling is in Rias' breasts.....

Then we go to another scene where we finally get the oppai dragon song, not used to stop anything, it was just used to be used. It literally served no purpose, story wise, except maybe say that Issei is now a hero in the eyes of the children, so I guess it makes it ok.

Any ways then we see the sports festival everyone having a good time, no complaints, on forward as everything else was fine.

So overall, disappointed with the episode. It pretty much did nothing for us and the whole scene with Rias and Issei on the beach, just felt cheap. It seems like they were pandering to the LN readers, which I guess would be their market, but if you are an anime only watcher you just won't get it and feel cheated out of two episodes. Also nothing was explained about what the heck happened in the Dimensional gap, and you could only guess what happened there.

Overall:4/10
