@Kai Tyson Are you serious? Issei being born with the Boosted Gear is irrelevant, it doesn't change the fact that he uses Ddraig's power and later Ophis' (which he was not born with) to get by. If you somehow feel that's a valid point, it represents merit for Rias rather than detract from her, because unlike Issei who simply got a lucky draw when he was born, Rias actually had to put effort and intent alongside Gasper to make the Balor form possible. Also, you think that the dress break and pailingual counters were her only countermeasure? Balor form itself is a main countermeasure, she made it so she could effectively fight both alongside and with Issei.

You're also acting as if Rias could magically pull up some perfect thing against Issei and thus the countermeasures she developed are nothing due to it. What? Did you expect her to magically cook up "ANTI DRAGON GOD" stuff in order for it to be considered a valid countermeasure? You're not arguing logically. You're also comparing countermeasures used against High-class Devils and the likes and expect that's the same as a countermeasure for a Heavenly Dragon-class full of hax abilities? I cannot believe you tried to use that as an argument.
