Alright fine. Let's make Issei the best in everything. He has to be perfect in every single regard. Let's make Issei a better swordsman than Souji Okita. Let's make Issei a better magician than Macgregor Mathers. Let's make Issei smarter than Ajuka. And don't forget tht Issei has to be a million times stronger than Great Red, Ophis, and Trihexa combined. That's a wonderful way to ruin the story.

Issei is a fist fighter. He isn't a magician or swordsman. He does use his demonic powers and knows how to use Ascalon, but Issei fights with his fists. Do you see Kiba or Rias having fist fights? And you think that Issei is just going to become this extraordinary magician despite that not being his style?

I got an idea! Let's take away Rias' demonic powers and her Power of Destruction. Let's take away Dulio's Zenith Tempest. You think they'd be as strong as they are without those?
