Issei's personality change was a smart idea because Hades used Azazel's prank against Issei. I want to talk a bit more about two things: Issei's personality change and new villains. New villains enter the stage with a massive shock. Issei's personality reverts to the original. It was a landslide, but I liked it, clearly fruits of their progression through the series. I enjoyed the final battle fighting scenes. Both sides knew DxD would likely win, which indeed happened. From the beginning, there were not any illusions about the outcome. But I was annoyed with Issei's personality change, but more on that later.Īlliance of Hell made their last stand in London. Meredith uses Alphecca Tyrant on Issei to change his personality (simplified explanation). Later, Issei is under attack by fake Ddraig and Longinus gear "Alphecca Tyrant" wielder Meredith Ordinton. It was an enjoyable match between the young and old generation. So, the Vali team had a match in the playoffs. I will try to keep it without significant spoilers, but I will spoil the result of a final battle and plot point I had an issue with. It concludes the "Hades and Alliance of Hell vs DxD" conflict. I will try to cover as many events as possible due to volume 4 having over 400 pages. I am looking forwards to the Azazel tournament. Villains: No change, specifically in volume 3, there was one villain that got my hype up. Some characters do not get much development at the time. Even though I do not mind big harems in anime or books, I have to admit that the Issei harem is getting a bit too big.
Issei is getting even more harem members. I do not want to spoil your experience as it is a little bit ahead of Volume 1. ( I did not found much enjoyment in any DxD villains so far tbh). I would love to see some good antagonist though. I was enjoying it a lot, so am I enjoying Shin too. Overall it is pretty much the same DxD as before. That is not an achievement ( if you have a similar opinion on DxD villain as me, you know what I am talking about). I will be honest she is below average DxD villain. The outfit, which neutralizes virgins attacks, pretty cheap tbh. She is wielding unique clothes, Virgin Killer. The new antagonist enters the stage, Nyx. New characters appear with a new member of the Issei harem named Ingvild, who possesses theĪnti-dragon ability. It is still the same DxD only with Shin added. I thought about giving my impressions after reading a volume of Shin DxD for people who are still hesitating for some reason.
I will be giving my 1st impressions and do a full review once Shin finishes. ( I counted New life and Afterword as chapters too)
