    Hmm... Depends on how his Gear will react to his current nature. So far it seems to be working normally, but who knows what Alex is preparing.

    It warms my heart to see people excited for what it is to come in my little story ;)

    What I can say now without spoiler is that Issei's BB is already planned and that it will blow people' sbraita away. In the begnin way of course ^^

    The actual chapter got delayed because I keep scrapping the beginning...it's hard :(

    Yes, the Freedom one. About Raidou, I was debating which one should appear, before I went: "why not both?"

    Raidou is also going to play an important role.

    The title means: "demonic inheritance". It symbolize not only the fact Issei is the second Hitoshura, but also the fact he is meant to continue the legacy started by the first Hitoshura.

    Those that saw the True Demon Ending know what I am talking about ^^

    My bet is on "Kill God for good". If I'm interpreting the event correctly so far, the first Hitoshura succeed in at least severely wounding YWVH. This had the side effect- of cutting his avatars from him and making them "killable" which is exactly what happened in the DXD world. Now, it's been some time and YWVH has recuperated and he's moving to reestablish his dominion in these world where his avatars died.

    Man, he must be super pissed that the Angels became so Peace And Love the moment he stopped looking. Live And Let Live is, like, the antithesis of the Law faction.

    I'm pretty sure everyone in the DxD world will agree that YAVH needs to die. He is not a nice person at all.

    I'm pretty sure that YAVH is against free will. Not a hundred percent sure on that however.

    That's his point. In Shin Megami Tensei YWVH wants to destroy free will, while in the Dresden Files YWVH believes that Free Will is the only thing that makes existence worthwhile, and He's made protecting human freedom pretty much His sole purpose.

    The juxtaposition of the two takes on the myth is amusing is all.

    I don't think "evil" is the right term. More like "radical", to the extreme. But that's my opinion.

    SMT focus on the player's decisions, so basically it's like saying "instead of taking a side, CREATE your own side. That will become the [good] side".

    The traditional SMT Alignments are seen as "evil" because the IG representatives are taking it to the extreme, sacrificing people left and right to see it realized.

    It's also said by Atlus that Law and Chaos being so fucked up is because of a fundamental error in reality...so basically, what we see is a "evil" version

    I VOTE FOR IRINA TO BE THE RAIDOU EQUIVALENT

    I mean jesus for canon equivalent of Childhood Friend she got shafted so badly

    Its like she's just well...there and interested in Issei-aside from that nothing only that she is Cheery/Genki and the Common Man to Xenovia's Cloud Cuckoolandness and a Raidou would make an excellent rival to Genocide them all Cao Cao

    In King Abbadon Raidou is described as 'Bringer of Hope' so that would work well as well

    While this sound wonderful...are you aware that for this scenario to come true I need to have something horrible happen to her first?

    Seconded.

    Moreover, I dislike characters with their own, well, characteristics being forced the into roles/archetypes of other "cooler" (note the sarcasm) characters.

    Crossover element should ADD to the native cast, not REPLACE them.

    Well yeah agreeing with the other dudes

    You are adding Megami Tensei demonics into Issei so why not the same with Irina

    Adding somethings while keeping the Core of the Character

    The most I can do to add SMT elements without trying to force Irina into another role is to give her a COMP.

    Hmmm....maybe an original character that got a COMP by accident?

    Megami Tensei generally comes with Two other characters one to represent Law and another one to Represent Chaos?

    Irina could be LAW and the COMP! Character could be Chaos

    and since every chick in Issei's harem is some sort of fetish the Chaos could be a Ganguro Delinquent Onee-san type?

    (Ramlethal Valentine look-alike?)

    Well most Chaos are characters who start on the LAW side but as time develops they are inclined to CHAOS actions

    Walter Jimenez they were dudes who started at the LAW side but decided CHAOS was the way to go

    hmmmm....Xenovia is chaos?

    She disregards anything that isn't brute force (this is canon)

    I say Asia is Chaos. Mostly because I find it hilarious imagining her as Cultist-chan. (Yes I'm aware they're not the same Chaos)

    That's be amusing I remember a story- one part of a verse with Medaka and Lovecraft as well-where Issei is Great Red and Asia is a bipolar yandere

    Both sides are sweet- its just that the yandere side is prone to hammer nails and voodo suffice to say
