There is such a thing such as character development. But what way did you expect Issei to develop? You're basically asking Issei to stop being a pervert which is a HUGE part of his character. You're basically saying that Issei should stop being Issei. And plus this was Gabriel we're talking about, not some random female. Most males would be stopped in their tracks at such a sight, especially Azazel. Issei has developed as a character, but is still a male and a pervert who's prone to temptation. If he just ignored Gabriel in a bikini, then that would be so out of character for him.

Show his maturity and get out of the bubble after a few seconds? GABRIELin a bikini, a never-before-seen sight that Issei gets to be the first male to witness. Issei who is a pervert. Be realistic. I'm just surprised he got out of there before the match ended. I can tell you Issei wasn't in that bubble for a few seconds. You want character development for Issei? You've been getting that for 23 volumes. What you ask for completely contradicts Issei's character. Do you expect Sirzechs to not be distracted by a video of a sleeping Rias?
