So my overall opinion on the episode, as certain tiger always says "it's GREAT" XD. It stick pretty close to LN with a few alterations like insted of having the battle's with Diodora's Peerage one at a time, they had both at once which was pretty smart considering it saved some time.

Apperently Issei does use Dress Break on the girls but the after effect doesn't work on them because conviently Diodora had used a spell to block their feeling of shame, we then see Bilingual's full effect in which was done good.

We finaly see Freed's full chimera form and he looked like an incomplete monster, he also  provoke's Issei with the backstory and we see the final fight between him and kiba.

And for the moment of truth, they caught up with Diodora where continues to piss off Issei on how he will torture Asia (just add's more fuel to the fire to bring him closer to JD).

His "armor up" transformation just keeps getting better, I've watch it over and over in full volume, best part was when Issei beats up Diodora knocking him down off his high horse, leaving him at the disbeleave that a noble like him is being overpowered, it was BRUTAL.

When the golden light appeared aound Asia, I though it was just anime visual effects cause she was prayng but it was actualy her "death", it totaly caught me off guard.

On a side note, Diodora has stated he already beaten Agares, must have been during the first Loki attack. In the subs the name of his ability is changed to "Booblingual", which kinda funny and I think that's what they'll call it in dub. That reminds of a comment on S2 E12, during Issei's power up a guy mistakenly thought the BG was saying "BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS".

I give this episode a 9.8/10, right now it's going great, hopefully enough to make fans look past the downs from before and love it enough to make S4.
