Here the issue, fans keep on thinking Rias needs to retire from Rating Game so that Issei could enter on his own. Issei can enter on his own even if Rias doesn't retire from Rating Game, Rias can even continue to join Rating Game as long as she wants. And yes Issei said he is interested in entering Rating Games, but he doesn't have any grand goal like becoming the no. 1 ranker. Issei probably just wants to win a few Rating Game tournament and win a few title that's all.
