If it somehow ends up being 11 I'd be surprise, but I admit I'd like to see a plot twist like that.

I mean imagine if Ishibumi pulls something like that since I know despite how she was in the story, a lot of fans like her and there's a few dozen fanfics I've seen where she survives and ends up in Issei's harem.

I mean atleast she's not as bad as Diodora was, Ishibumi gave Raynare enough ambiguity that some could say she wasn't as bad as she seemed, but Diodora... his whole character was basically based on being the bigger bad of Asia's backstory.
