Hope the power-ups akeno and asia get in the volume will be this; -akeno gaining another pair of wings and will reveal herself capable of using light weapons(regular and eletricfied) during the rating game with issei, and reveal she hasn't used them due to her being afraid issei would be reminded of raynare and end up hating her, but after his proposal she decided to learn how to do make light weapons to be a more versatile fighter. Also do you think she will gain weapons that will allow her to fight in case her powers are seal again like in vol 11(similar to my idea in the previous question about rias), and maybe the two holy swords wielded by shin shidou in highschool dxd ex, Kashuu Kiyomitsu and Yamatonokami Yasusada, and maybe she can channel her holy lighting into them.

-asia will finally be able to use combat magic(cause it makes no sense for to train with the likes of rias, akeno, and rosswessie, and possibly ravel, le fay, and kuroka in magic and not be to use combat magic) and bring back the archery skill she demostrated in volume 11, only along with healing arrows, she'll be able to use magic arrows(like fire arrows, ice arrows, electric arrows, etc.) in combat, maybe even have them laced with fafnir's powerful dragon aura like her healing barrier gets laced with, this way she'll be able to defend herself without the need of her dragon familiars.

Also hope to see this in the next volume. -rias wielding the red sword(most likely her son's sword, Galatine III: Also known as The Existence Cutter, Scarlet Blade. An alchemy-metalurgical crafted version of the Holy Sword Galatine, it can be used in tandem with demonic power, i.e. her Power of Destruction) she was given by heaven. I hope for this because i personally think it's impossible for her to be a big japanese otaku and not receive sword training from her brother's knight(who is a samurai). I can see her training at an early age and than stopping due having to focus on mastering her demonic powers(she was probably told that fighting with magic was more elegant for a pureblood devil than sword fighting). The way i see it she can reveal herself to have restart her sword training after entering the touranment, that way she would have another way to fight in case she ran into an opponent who could seal away her magic powers like cao cao did in vol 11.

- gasper can show that he learned to make weapons made of darkness like angels can make weaopns out of holy light, and will reveal it in the rating game with issei.

- valerie will be able to use balance breaker in the rating game, or at least be able to used magic, due to being a bishop like gasper, and since she often mimic gasper(refer to how she was in a cardboard box in vol 19), maybe gasper could have taught human magician magic(his specialty).

- kiba will end up doing a double balance breaker like Mitsuya Kanzaki during the rating game, because he trained extra hard after learning of what happened between issei’s father, kunou, ophis and Lilith and the grim reapers, and learning that dual balance breaker is possible due to the power Mitsuya Kanzaki demonstrated, which was probably revealed by either tobio, ouryuu, or both of them, he probably pushed himself even further to be make himself stronger for the inevitable confrontation with hades and the gods of hell.

- the potion used by strada to make himself younger is revealed to able to be reversed to allow someone to become older, like say kiba's friend tosca, that way they can be in the same age group, and if they do enter a relationship, kiba won’t be called a lolicon.

-Strada in ends up in balance breaker armor fueled by crom crauch’s power(wishful thinking strongest evil dragon with the church’s strongest holy man).

What do all of you think?
