I remember also the reaction that Akeno had with Issei on the date because when Akeno acts the opposite of how she normally reacts like acting so delicate and  soft like Rias can any guy resist, and if she puts the puppy eyes look on you she can literally dismantle.

I am happy that she is best friends with Rias because if her relationship with Rias wasn't this friendly she would have easily stolen Issei from Rias because Rias is gorgeous but Akeno can rival or surpass her in most categories because as a true love rival if they were competing against each other she would be formidable even for Rias.
