@Ran and @Some annon like myself Wow, the villains in DxD are bad and the hell with "inconsistencies" ??

1. Shalba once had an ideal to make the Devil as a more superior race than the others and rejected the idea of reincarnated devils, his idea is evil but it's actually a ray of hope for those pure bloods who feel threatened with the uprisings of the reincarnated devils, but after he got blasted by issei's JD his ideal beceme more focused, he simply seeked full destruction of the current society of the underworld instead of trying to change the society and it completely made him more dangerous villain than he was before. Look what he did with his new ideal, he sucessfully killed Issei and brought the underworld to the brink of complete destruction. That's a character development down there and there goes your theory of one dimentional character.

2. Many said that Cao-Cao's motivation as a villain is lame, well i completely disagree instead of those villains in other shonen series who screams "Ouch you screwed up my past and now i will screw yours" or "i want to rule this world", Cao-Cao's idea is simple he just wants The humans to have a stand against those superior beings, he also wants to prove that they are the "real" heroes. If you want to say "Oh, if he is a hero then why does he do some mean things to other humans ??" he knows conventional way will not work, so he only does what he needs to do to achieve his own goal. Or perhaps he has no past backgroud so you can claim he has no motive at all? Last i heard DxD is still continuing, so who is to say that Ichibumi cannot release an SS to explain more about the past of Heroes-faction??. The reason why he was defeated by Issei is actually important for his own character progression you know, it made him realise what he lacked. So there you go with one dimensional character.

3. Oh yeah, i forgot about Loki. if you think that whatever loki did in Vol 7 is stupid then i have a different idea. you probably would say "Why Loki did not use tactic at all to kill Odin" My answer is one word "Fenrir". With Fenrir in his side he has more than enough firepower to do whatever he wants to do.

4. Regarding the inconsistency, what some anon stated is only about a matter of lack details (then again there is only small details that can be offered with only words, especially in LN) not inconsistency. And just like what Ixar said, if DxD was in other medium, manga for example.Then you would get more details.

So yeah, dont spend your time too much with fanfics.
