Typhon is competing in the tournament, don't you remember? And what does being on the heroes side have to do with aanything? Issei is fighting against Dulio and they are friends and on the same side. And Ex isn't technically part of the main story. Well in a way it is but what happened shouldn't even be considered part of the main story. I had my problems with Ex and Azazel making a pact with Typhon and getting a new armor was just the biggest asspull I have ever seen. The only thing I liked about Ex was Issei's children and confirming that he married every girl(I hope it shuts up all the morons that want a one girl ending), Gasper being a super devil and a badass, and Issei able to transform into a giant dragon and being badass. Besides that it wasn't all that. The Typhon armor thing and the Metal Fenrir were the biggest asspulls.
