Well then I guess you don't like Issei using Samael's blood to defeat Cao Cao in that way. I guess you don't like Issei using holy water and the cross to weaken Riser and defeat him. Like I said, when you have two equally powerful teams and the match could go any way, one team will need something that puts them on top. What happens when power isn't enough. Not everyone is a OP powerhouse or can win by means of power. Even Issei knows that sometimes he can't win by means of power. Because lately all we've been getting is the sudden power-up of characters to beat their opponent. Now that was a smart move and effectively took Issei out of the match for a good while. And Issei's the most powerful member on their team. If Issei fights honorably, that's fine. But don't try to hold others to those standards. When it's a close match like Issei vs Dulio, you need a decisive move to win it all. If you watched some of Rudiger's Rating Games, you might get on him for using 'dirty tactics' in Rating Games against stronger opponents. You're basically telling every team that is not OP powerhouses to just give up and just accept their defeat because they are not as strong. What happens when you're pretty powerful but you can't get up to Issei's level? You need something more.
