Really I don't get why people are acting like Rias and Issei are going to put new members on their team after one loses. One is that it's pretty unlikely. And two is that we don't know if losers in the main tournament(the ones that advanced past the preliminaries) can even join other teams. Because that can really get out of hand.

Anyway I don't see Kiba fighting Arthur until Issei fights Vali and I don't see that happening until the very end of the series.
