[ISSEI thinking] This guy
is Heaven's head-honcho?
Wait. If he's such a big deal,
what's he doing here--?
[ISSEI thinking]
What the hell?
It feels like my
skin is crawling.
And I don't think
Blondie's causing it.
[MICHAEL] Behold, young pervert.
[ISSEI] C'mon, man!
[MICHAEL] This is Ascalon.
This Holy sword has
also earned another name.
Dragon Slayer.
[ISSEI] Wow. Helluva nickname.
[MICHAEL] It is a name the
sword's previous wielders
quite capably earned.
Many dragons fell to the power
contained in this blade.
That would explain
why I was feeling on edge.
Fear not, Issei Hyodo,
for this w*apon was
sent unto you from on high.
Dude. For real?
[MICHAEL] For real indeed.
In the hope that you
might assimilate it
into your Boosted Gear.
I've heard
your reputation
as the weakest host in history,
and hope the might of
Ascalon will give you
the necessary strength
in times of tribulation.
History's weakest?
Well, it's totally not for
lack of trying, Your Angelness.
It still really sucks
to hear it though.
But why would you give it to me?
Hear me, child.
The time has come for
all of us to work together.
Or die trying.
The Great w*r ended
large scale fighting,
but, as you know, we still
have small skirmishes.
So you'd call that
a small skirmish?
[MICHAEL] If this
is allowed to continue,
all will be brought to ruin.
It is entirely possible
a different power
may att*ck us in
all of the confusion.
A different power?
Like what?
[MICHAEL] There are more
things in Heaven and Earth,
than are dreamt of
in our philosophy.
And this upcoming
summit will provide us
with a great opportunity.
Uh? For what?
For the Three Great Powers
to forge an alliance.
To put an end to years
of senseless fighting.
[ISSEI] Stop the fighting?
It would not be
the first time.
Long ago, we all came
together and fought as one.
We had to end
the destruction caused
by the red and
white dragons' battle.
[MICHAEL] I beseech you,
O Red Dragon Emperor.
Please.
Help align the goals of
the Three Great Powers.
Now, Issei.
This is the part where
you accept his gift.
Oh right!
If it'll help out,
then yeah, sure, totally.
Assimilating
a Holy Sword?
I mean, is that even possible?
[DDRAIG] The Sacred Gear
follows the wants of its host.
If that is what you desire,
it can totes be done.
Then let's get it done, Ddraig.
[DDRAIG] All right then!
Focus all your thoughts
on the Sacred Gear.
[ISSEI] Done!
[DDRAIG] Match your
wavelength to the sword!
[ISSEI screams]
They merged, incredible!
[MICHAEL] I have done
what I set out to do.
And now I will
take my leave.
No, hold on!
Before you go,
there was something I
really wanted to ask you.
My apologies, but I
haven't the time, child.
I'll gladly hear you out.
When next our paths cross.
Promise me you
won't forget, okay?
Yes. You have my word.
Farewell, Issei.
[ISSEI] So.
You came to this temple
with him to do magic
or whatever on the sword?
[AKENO] Yes.
We conducted a ceremony here
that tailored Ascalon's
specifications to you.
[ISSEI] Wow, cool, thanks a lot.
Akeno, can I ask
about the other day?
What about
the other day?
When we were
fighting Kokabiel,
he said something to you.
[KOKABIEL] Could it be she
who possesses the power of
Barkiel is trying to fight?
[AKENO] Don't speak his name.
I am nothing like that creature!
That name he said.
Who's this Barkiel?
[AKENO] My father. That's right.
I'm the half-breed daughter
of the fallen angel leader
Barkiel and a human.
[AKENO] My mother was
a young shrine maiden.
One day she found
a wounded fallen angel,
and nursed him back to health.
She did her job well.
They fell in love.
And soon enough, I came along.
[ISSEI] I'm such an idiot.
I should mind my own business.
[ISSEI] Those wings!
[AKENO] Yes. I know.
One from an angel,
and the other from a devil.
Signs of my heritage
that I try to hide.
I grew up hating
my angel side.
I jumped at the
chance to become a devil
when Rias made me the offer.
To spite father.
Maybe it was
my half-breed blood.
But the results were a sad
and garish mix between
both types of wings.
And what could
be a better way
to showcase my impure lineage?
Some mismatched plumage.
I never knew.
The truth is,
I've wanted to tell you
for such a long time.
[AKENO] But you
hate fallen angels.
They were the cause
of so much pain
for you and poor Asia.
And it almost k*lled you.
Not to mention
their attempt
to destroy this town
and the people living here.
It isn't hard to guess
what you think of them.
You're right.
I hate fallen angels.
[ISSEI] But there's more
to you than who your dad is!
[ISSEI] I apologize.
Sorry for making things awkward.
I don't mean to be
an ass all the time.
[AKENO] No, forget
I said anything;
I don't want things
to get weird between us.
[ISSEI] Not gonna happen!
Hey, you never know.
My apparent congeniality
could just be a mere façade.
A tactic to distract you
from the fact that
I'm half-fallen angel.
There's no way
you're convincing me
you're a bad person.
[AKENO]
Oh, but it's true, Issei.
I'm a terrible woman.
That's bullshit!
As far as I'm concerned,
you're one of the
most awesome women
a guy like me
could hope to meet!
Uh, what I'm saying is,
I do totally hate fallen
angels and all that.
But it doesn't matter that
you're a half one, y'know.
I mean, you're still you, Akeno!
And, like,
I think you're terrific!
No, you're better than terrific!
I mean, you're strong,
you're smart, you're refined--
And let's be honest,
you've got a k*ller rack.
You're not just
an awesome woman,
you're awesome
at being one, too!
Wait. Did that come out right?
It sounded a lot
cooler in my head.
Damn.
Things get all
jumbled up in here.
[AKENO] You can stop worrying.
You said everything right.
You say
sweet things like that.
And what's a girl to do?
C'mon, I wasn't trying
to make you cry, okay?
I bet I'm up for a foot-
in-mouth award about now.
Yeah, I should
probably stop babbling.
[ISSEI] Forget I said anyth--
[ISSEI]
Akeno, is everything okay?
[AKENO] I've decided.
[ISSEI] Huh?
[AKENO] I said
I made a decision.
[ISSEI] Uh, what does that mean?
[AKENO] Guess what, Issei?
[ISSEI] Uh, what?
I'm totally fine
with being your third.
[ISSEI] Hold on-- Third?
Third. And stop repeating me.
Don't you think it's
a pretty good position?
The third?
Just the thought
gets me hot.
Like having an affair!
Whatever you're talking
about, I'm so on board.
[AKENO] Yes, I can tell.
Feels like Little Issei
woke up and wants to play!
[AKENO] Hey, I'm flattered!
Now I want to do
something special for you.
I think I could handle that!
But first, Issei.
I want to hear you tell me
what a bad girl I am.
[ISSEI] I dunno.
That sounds pervy, even to me.
But I've been
so very naughty.
Scold me.
[ISSEI] You're a bad girl?
Thank you, Issei!
[ISSEI thinking] Oh man.
Close contact with
her milk jugs is better
than I could've dreamed!
Yes. I like it
when you talk dirty to me.
It turns me on. Come here, you.
[ISSEI thinking] Horniness
reaching critical overload!
[thinking]
My face is just inches
from where the magic happens!
[ISSEI] Major Boobage!
I thought I'd take
one of Rias's special
privileges for myself!
Now I actually
am being a little naughty!
Issei, dear.
Do you feel good?
Yes! This is great!
Things don't get
much better than this!
It's perfection, as long
as Rias doesn't find out.
Doesn't find out about what?
Answer me, Issei.
[ISSEI] Oh! Hey.
How long have you been there?
Dude, I'm freakin' toast!
Hi there!
[ISSEI] Whoa! I can explain!
I dropped a contact in her lap!
[RIAS] You don't wear contacts.
Did you at
least get the sword?
I got it, yes ma'am!
And the angel?
He returned home!
Then that means your
business here is concluded.
Let's go.
[ISSEI] Okay.
You don't have
to be so jealous;
you're still the
favorite, silly!
Hey, thanks for
your help, Akeno.
Rias, wait for me!
[ISSEI thinking] Yep.
Seems like she's
pretty pissed off.
[RIAS] Issei, I--
Yes ma'am?
[RIAS] Your goal is to
have a harem one day, right?
[ISSEI] Yeah.
[RIAS] What do you
think about Akeno?
Would she have
a place in your harem?
[RIAS]
Would I?
You're my master.
[RIAS] Of course.
There's no room for me.
I'm your master.
Hey.
The Lady of the House
of Gremory is way too good
for some stupid
servant's pipedream!
[RIAS] If I really
am the favorite.
Then why do I feel the
furthest away from him?
[ISSEI] Wait. Hold up!
[RIAS] The summit
takes place tomorrow.
Final preparations
need to be made.
Do you have a plan to
make yourself useful?
[ISSEI] Guess I'm
heading back to school.
Gotta help with
Gasper's training, you know?
Of course.
This is where we part ways.
[ISSEI] Rias?
[ISSEI] Awesome!
[ASIA] Good work, Gasper!
You're able to catch it once
out of every twenty tries now!
[ISSEI] Which is a big
improvement from zero!
[ISSEI] All right.
Next ball!
Incoming!
Ready or not,
here we go!
Okay!
Are you okay?
[GASPER] Uh, Issei?
I think I'm done for today.
Don't puss out, yet!
We've got a dream to
turn into reality here!
And I can't do
it without you.
Come on, Gasper!
You're right,
I'm sorry!
[ISSEI] You've gotta hurry up
and master your
ability to stop time!
And then it'll be gropin'
season on the frozen foxy babes!
C'mon kid!
Bring in a win for Team Awesome.
And learn to control
that power, quick!
Yes!
I swear I'll never
let you down again, Issei!
Kickass!
Go Team Awesome!
[ASIA] Is this where the
inspiring montage comes in?
[ISSEI] Right!
Here we go, Gasper!
I'll do it for you,
Issei! Go!
[ISSEI] Gasper.
Does my arm look like
the ball to you, buddy?
[GASPER] I screwed
everything up again!
I'm sorry, Issei!
[ISSEI sighs]
Hey, don't worry about it.
I mean, you're
still in training.
I'm no good!
[ISSEI] Not true; you don't suck
nearly as hard as you used to.
Remember?
You froze my entire body
when we first started!
[GASPER] I'm bad
at being a vampire.
I'm lousy at being a devil.
I hate always letting
everybody down!
Stop that!
[GASPER] Stop what?
[ISSEI] Criticizing
yourself, dammit!
If you think like
that, you've lost!
Don't whine about your
problems, face them head on!
Otherwise, you're
your own worst enemy!
You're right. But--
I'm rooting for you, kiddo!
And I know Asia is, too!
Right! I believe in you!
It's true.
Because you're my friend, silly!
You mean it?
[ISSEI] Of course, dude!
Hell, we're like family!
The Gremory chess pieces
have to stick together!
[GASPER] Thanks, you guys!
And I swear, I'll never
be a quitter again!
[ISSEI] Hell yeah!
[GASPER] Right!
I'll just slip this on,
to help me harness my energy.
[ISSEI] Dude, don't.
That's creepy!
[ASIA] If the two
of you work together,
I know in my heart
you can do it!
[ISSEI] You hear that, Gasper?
You got a stone cold fox
cheering you on, my brother!
Hey, weren't you helping
out with his training?
Every time I tried
to help train him,
the poor kid would
break down crying.
Kept saying something about
how training him
made him feel guilty.
[KONEKO] I've only
seen Issei this happy
about training once before.
[XENOVIA] When was that?
[KONEKO] We were at
the training camp.
That was when
he came up
with his perversely perverted
joke of a finishing move.
You mean he
was this excited
when he came up
with the Dress Break?
Mhmm.
Let's make our dreams
come true, at last!
Get ready for another hundred!
[GASPER] Thank you sir!
May I have another?
[ISSEI] Great! Here we go again!
[ASIA] Umm. Issei?
Huh?
You keep talking
about this dream
you and Gasper have.
Can you tell me about it?
It's to use my power
on all the girls,
so that Issei can then--
It's still in development,
so too early to say.
[ISSEI thinking] I'm in
no position to train anyone.
Who am I kidding?
I've barely even scratched
the surface of my own power.
If anybody needs
a teacher, it's me.
Someone who knows a thing
or two about Sacred Gears.
I suspect you'll
want me to attend
that boring meeting with
you tomorrow, won't you?
That's right, Vali.
After all, you are the
White Dragon Emperor.
So, Azazel.
What are the odds that
we'll all go to w*r again?
Exactly what I'd expect
from the mouth
of the White Dragon.
Are you trying to live
fast and die young?
[VALI] Why not?
There's no point
to anything anymore.
I hate this place.
I hate this era
my birth thrust me into.
A world where God is dead.
I just wanted a sh*t at Him.
[AZAZEL] You're the
Vanishing Dragon, all right.
There's nothing left
in this boring world
to interest me.
[ISSEI] Oh, Akeno.
You're the girl who's always
smiling on the outside.
But she must've been suffering
on the inside this whole time.
Compared to everything
she's been through.
I've got it super easy.
God, I'm a d*ck.
I can't even think this
without hating myself.
I suck!
All I've got to worry about
is how much Rias likes me.
[knock knock]
Yeah?
[ISSEI] Rias? Akeno?
Why is Akeno here?
[RIAS] Our meeting ran late,
so she's going to have to
sleep over with us tonight.
I figured you wouldn't
mind the situation too much.
That's right.
[ISSEI thinking] Oh good.
She's back to normal.
They really are best friends.
[RIAS] Also, Akeno
said she really wanted
to take a moment
to apologize to you.
[ISSEI] What for?
Obviously, I am very sorry
for surprising you today,
and I hope you can find it
in your heart to forgive me.
[ISSEI] Oh, that's--
I didn't really--
I heard.
[ISSEI] What?
That's right, I heard
what Akeno told you
and what your reply was to her.
[ISSEI] I'm sorry!
[ISSEI] I couldn't resist
the temptation of her lap,
and so I used it as a pillow.
Oh, forget about
that nonsense, Issei.
I mean what happened before.
She's not upset
with you, silly.
Rias is talking about
when you told me
that you liked me
no matter who I was.
She what?
Um, why isn't she
pissed off, though?
I was happy to
hear your kindness,
and I felt so proud of you.
That is definitely my Issei!
Yeah, that's me.
[ISSEI thinking] I'm happy
to be praised and everything,
but I'm still not exactly sure
what I'm being praised for.
Oh my goodness, Rias.
Now, you know
he's gonna have
to be my Issei from
here on out, too.
What? Akeno?
You know what, Akeno,
we may be best friends,
but that doesn't
mean you shouldn't act
with a little bit of restraint.
Yes, well, restraint is
forbidden in a serious battle.
How could the
big bad king
ever say something
so cowardly?
Oh, I can't lose after
hearing you say that.
Go on, hit me with your
best sh*t, sister queen.
So is this how
we're playing?
[ISSEI thinking] I don't
really know what's going on.
I don't really know,
but I'm definitely experiencing
the pinnacle of paradise!
No fair, you two!
No fair!
[ISSEI] Oh, maybe not.
[ISSEI] So heavy.
[VALI] Tonight's
finally the night.
All the higher-ups are gathering
to discuss the most boring
issues ever to be discussed.
[ORPHIS] "There's nothing
left in this boring world
to interest me."
Orphis?
Vali.
[ORPHIS]
That is what you always say.
[VALI] That's right.
There's nothing left in this
boring world to interest me.
[RIAS]
Well. Time to go.
[ISSEI] Right!
And Gasper.
Behave yourself
while we're gone.
[GASPER] Okay.
[RIAS] I don't mean to scold,
but if you activate your power,
it'll stall negotiations.
And we don't want that.
I hope you understand.
Yes ma'am.
But Koneko is
going to stay here
and take care of you,
isn't that right, Koneko?
[KONEKO] Yes. Of course.
[ISSEI] Hey dude.
Go easy on Koneko.
And you can borrow this.
[GASPER] Awesome!
Thanks a lot, Issei!
I'll try not to let you down!
[KONEKO] I also stocked up
on some snacks for us.
[GASPER] Whoa! I don't
even know where to begin!
[ISSEI thinking]
I bet they're all for her.
[ISSEI] And one last thing
for you before we go.
Wear it as much
as you want, dude!
Sweet! Thanks!
Hey, anything
for you, buddy!
[ISSEI thinking] So. Awkward.
If this is really the best
I can do, how sad is that?
I just-- I just really want
to do something to help him.
A kid like Gasper deserves more.
[RIAS] May we come in?
Irina?
Everyone's here.
This is my sister, Rias,
and her retainers.
They're the ones who
fought against Kokabiel
during his surprise
att*ck a few days ago.
That is a rather
impressive feat.
I thank each one of you
for all of your hard work.
Once again, I apologize.
It seems one of my boys
caused you a bit of trouble.
So what's up
with that d*ck?
[SIR ZECHS] Now that all the
participants are represented,
let this summit commence.
[RIAS] The rest of the
details regarding the incident
between Kokabiel
and my household
can be found in my
official report.
[SONA] As a witness,
I, Sona Sitri,
confirm the veracity of the
report given by Lady Gremory.
[SIR ZECHS] That will be all.
Thank you very much.
Great job, ladies!
You make me so proud, Sona!
[SIR ZECHS] Perhaps
the Governor-General
of the Fallen Angels would care
to share his opinion
of their report?
[AZAZEL] Kokabiel went rogue;
therefore my thoughts on
the incident are irrelevant.
[MICHAEL] So he acted
entirely on his own?
Well, he never
had my permission,
if that's what you're asking.
But something tells me
the damn fool wouldn't have
tried to destroy the whole town
if he knew I was staying here.
I've grown quite fond of
this quaint little place.
[SIR ZECHS] Try and stay
on topic, if you please.
I sent the White Dragon Emperor
in to resolve the issue.
And the culprit is frozen stiff
in the lowest level of Hell.
He won't bother you again.
What I find most troubling
about the att*ck itself
is his motivation.
It seems that he was
rather dissatisfied
with the status quo.
[AZAZEL]
Yeah, the w*r ending halfway
through really
stuck in his craw.
What he wanted
was perpetual combat.
But at this late
stage in the game,
I have no interest in a w*r.
'The seeds of discontent'.
[AZAZEL] That behavior
isn't exclusive to my faction.
Again I ask that we stay
focused on the matter at hand.
After all, that is why
we've convened here.
Spare the verbosity,
won't you?
Let's just make peace
and be done with it.
That's the purpose of
this grand summit, isn't it?
Of course it is.
[GASPER] I'm worried.
I hope they're okay.
What if the summit turns
chaotic, and w*r breaks out?
And-- And then, everyone dies!
I can't take it!
[ISSEI] Yo, Issei here!
A t*rror1st att*ck?
And Gasper and Koneko in
the clutches of the enemy?
Then we'll have to fight
no matter who our opponent is!
Next time!
"The Leader's Summit Begins!"
So many milk jugs in one room!
