The artificial Boosted Gear Balance Breaker can be traced back when Euclid showed his replica to Issei during  their battle in Volume 17. It is implied that they had gathered enough data from Issei's corpse, which making it possible to create the artificial form of the Sacred Gear (how much extent is still a mystery, but if we measure Issei's capabilities when he died from Samael's poison, it can be hypotesized that some of the artificial form can reach a Cardinal Crimson Queen-like form.). And of course, they all powered from Trihexa along with the core of Agreas (correct me if i'm wrong)

The whole Rating game affair "kinda" reminded me of the famous Italian soccer league scandal better known as "Calciopoli" (you can google it, the similarities are there), where the higher ups played part in the dominating ranks (the top players), thus resulting in a stable standing in the games. Diehauser, the good guy, is forced to reveal the corruption of the games at the cost of his disgrace and punishment.

I'm in love with the Banana thing. So now the dragons are now officially the Minions of DxD? :D
