[sighs]
So, I definitely think that
Bishop form is gonna be
the biggest beeyatch of
the whole Triaina combo.
Probably. Unlike the
Knight and the Rook,
the Bishop form needs additional
time to charge the blast.
[ISSEI]
Yeah, and it'd be hella obvious
if we just stood there
the whole time.
[grunts, yells]
[ROSSWEISSE grunts]
It sounds kind of corny,
but we could use teamwork.
Yeah, fo sho. If the
team buys me time,
I could get a better sh*t.
Then I won't have to
worry about all that
bobbing and weaving crap
while I charge up the att*ck.
Sucks the Triaina saps energy
faster than streaming
p*rn offa WiFi.
I'll be lucky to get
a couple of sh*ts in
before I've blown my whole load.
[KIBA]
If we're gonna use it,
it'd be best to save
it for Sairaorg.
[ISSEI]
Yeah. Sho 'nuff.
[rumbling]
[yells]
[XENOVIA]
Oops, my bad!
[ROSSWEISSE] Let's take
a quick break for right now.
All right, sounds good!
[ISSEI groans]
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah.
Sorry, I couldn't help but
overhear your conversation.
Oh?
What you said about the
Bishop form in the Triaina...
It's only a suggestion...
...but instead of a
full-on cannon blast,
couldn't you just
transfer the sh*t?
[BOTH]
That's a great idea!
That way your team
can give cover fire
in a more effective way.
If we can make it look like
a charge and boost our allies,
then we could take
them by surprise.
It could work.
Not to mention it'll leave
our frenemies hangin'
on whether the next cannon
blast is gonna be a transfer
or an att*ck!
[RIAS]
True,
but we may have some trouble
with the game rules.
We will?
It won't be a concern
as long as the match
is a team battle.
Sairaorg stated previously
that he would like to accept
all of our various
powers in a single fight.
The higher-ups involved
have approved this request.
And because of those
particular concessions,
I believe they'll make
special rules for the match.
Special rules, huh? Like what?
To start, they intend
to hold the Rating Game
inside a floating city,
which is over in the domain
of Archduke Agares' family.
And they're planning to invite
a rather large audience,
so that means they're
probably not expecting it
to be a very long battle.
The Rating Game is just
another form of entertainment,
so naturally, there will
be some catering to fans.
She's right about that.
In fact, the game's attracted
quite a bit of attention.
You're kinda famous.
Cool! Sounds like it'll be fun.
Looks like we're gonna have to
train like nobody's business
so we can kick some A!
So, anyway. Thank you.
That was actually
pretty solid advice.
Of course. I suppose it's
the least I could do.
Okay, guys! Time to
nut up or shut up!
Let's do this thing
and start training!
Sorry, but it's too late
for training today.
Wha?
We have a press
conference tomorrow.
We have to be careful
we don't overdo it.
After all, it's important that
we look good for the cameras.
Wait, when you say cameras...
Yes, silly, you're
going to be on TV.
Try not to do anything stupid.
Hey, Gasper. Do you
think you're gonna wear
your girl's uniform to the
press conference later?
Uh, maybe.
It'd be strange to wear a boy's
uniform after all this time.
Still though. I don't think
it'll make me less nervous!
[GASPER whimpers, wails]
[GASPER]
I don't wanna go anymore!
I can't stand the thought
of everyone looking at me
during the stupid conference!
[KIBA, ISSEI laugh]
Huh?
Uh, Koneko? Can I get up?
Sounds like something
you should ask a doctor.
Unless we're not talking about
your junk, then the answer's no.
You seem rather feisty lately.
It seems Ravel's
interest in Issei
has made you even
more possessive.
Whoa, say what?
c**t-tucky Fried Chicken's
in love with you.
Jeez, get a clue,
Mister Nice Guy.
Uh-oh, looks like some kitty's
a little green with envy.
That's so cute.
[KONEKO groans]
She's right.
I guess Issei really is
Mister Nice Guy... to everyone.
[ISSEI]
Hm?
Huh?
[STAFF A]
Pardon me.
We are ready for you now.
What's up! Good to see you!
It's been a hot minute.
[RIAS]
Hello, Saji.
Hey, bro.
Yo, how's it hangin'?
To the left.
What are you doin' here?
Come on, you
seriously don't know?
Guess that's not a big surprise.
We actually have a Rating Game
the same day that you guys do.
And yet, no one seems
to really know about it.
Then again, we poke a lot
less boobs in our game.
That's probs a factor.
Anyway, we got a press meeting.
Really? sh*t!
How have I not heard about it?
Oh, right. Did I
forget to mention that?
Well, it's certainly news to me.
[SAJI]
Don't sweat it.
We haven't gotten that
much attention, really.
But hey, sounds like
the whole Underworld's
psyched about your game.
[ISSEI chuckles]
Hey, Saji, let's go.
Okay. See you losers later!
Totally. Take names
and all that jazz.
Will do. Good luck out there.
[PRESS chattering]
[MODERATOR A]
Thank you for waiting.
And now, we are proud to
welcome the Gremory family.
[PRESS gasp]
[gasps]
All right.
Both families are
present, so let's begin.
First, allow me to welcome
the Kings of each family.
Now, each King will have
the chance to comment
on the upcoming match.
Sairaorg will go first,
followed by Rias,
so please reserve any
comments for afterward.
Lord Bael? Please, start.
Yes, thank you. Well then.
I guess I'm just really excited
for this battle to begin.
I intend to fight the Gremory
family with all my strength.
That's it for me.
I'm so honored to be fighting
against the Bael family
and look forward to
an interesting match.
Although he is
considered top-ranking
among the younger devils,
I have no intention of losing.
In fact, I plan to win.
[MODERATOR A]
Thank you very much, everyone.
Next up, we will open the floor
for questions from the press.
Who's first?
[FEMALE REPORTER A]
I have a question
for the biggest rising
star in the Underworld,
the Grabbin' Dragon,
Issei Hyodo.
Uh, 'kay.
So, do you intend to poke
Princess Rias' breasts
during the Rating Game?
Uh... Uh, well, I--
[FEMALE REPORTER A] If you were
to poke them, when would it be?
And what about the reports?
Many say that,
like your stage show,
you're only able to power up
when you poke her boobs.
[chuckles]
And is it true you've
used this crude technique
to overcome other
dangerous situations?
Uh, when you say it like that...
You know, it's sucky, but--
[FEMALE REPORTER A]
"Sucky Butt"?
What kind of sick
code name is that
for the princess' breasts?!
[PRESS shouting]
I have a question.
Do you happen to suck
her boobs, butt, or both?
[gasps]
[ISSEI] Holy hell, I just had
the worst word vomit ever!
I was trying to say it was
"sucky but necessary"
and they didn't let me finish!
Does that indicate that you'll
be sucking on her breasts
in the middle of the match?
[FEMALE REPORTER A] If you
power up when you poke them,
what happens when you
suck those puppies instead?
Do you get even stronger--like,
could you destroy the Underworld
with that power?
Please, Princess,
would ya care to comment
on this matter at all?
[RIAS whimpers]
[RIAS]
Nope. No comment.
[AKENO giggles]
And what are your thoughts
on this, Sairaorg?
[ISSEI]
Oh, snap! Don't ask her cousin!
[SAIRAORG]
Hmm.
I suspect if he were
to suck Rias' breasts,
then the Red Dragon Emperor
would become even stronger.
[PRESS gasp]
[ISSEI] Bro! Why'd you have
to teabag my rep like that?
[PRESS chattering]
[SAIRAORG laughs]
Well, that was... somethin'.
Am I right?
Never a dull moment
with you, huh?
That's what I like about
fightin' the Grabbin' Dragon.
Yes, well... no one was
talking about your boobs
on public television.
Uh, I'm sorry.
I swear, we're taking this
Rating Game hella serious.
And I don't doubt it.
Honestly, I was pretty
impressed by the whole thing.
This may sound crazy,
but it takes some serious balls
to talk like that in
front of so many people.
I like that I never know
what to expect from you.
The next time you and I
meet will be in the arena.
Bring it.
Hmph.
You sound determined.
Well then. See you in
the sky, Red Dragon.
[ISSEI sighs] That conference
was a total clusterfuck.
[groans] I wonder
if there's any way
I could say I was possessed?
[gasps]
Issei. What a surprise.
[door closes]
[gasps]
[ISSEI]
Yeah. Come here often...?
Well, nothing to
see here! Heh, heh--
[gasps]
Oh, come on now.
--Stay a bit longer, would ya?
--[ISSEI gasps]
--Stay a bit longer, would ya?
If you insist!
[gasps]
It's just the two of us.
[ISSEI]
U-Uh...
What a rarity, since you're
usually surrounded by people.
You know... this steamy
setting is kind of romantic.
What if you took all of me
right here and now?
I realize after all this time
my body may be old news.
Is it possible it doesn't
do it for you anymore?
Nope! That's definitely
not the case.
Trust me, I'm pitchin'
a serious tent right now!
[RIAS]
Okay.
[ISSEI gasps]
[RIAS]
So, do something about it.
I want you to give
in to your urges.
[gasps]
[RIAS]
Issei, what am I to you?
How do you think of me?
Uh... you mean like
besides the club president?
[RIAS gasps]
I get it. Then I'll show
you what else I can be.
[ISSEI gasping]
[ISSEI]
My brain, among other things,
feels like it's gonna explode!
[gasps] Oh, my god,
it's finally happening!
I just got a one-way
ticket to Pound Town!
Thanks, universe!
I'm gonna become a man!
Tonight, Issei.
I want all of you.
[ISSEI gasps]
[ISSEI] Wow, her milkshakes
are all up in my yard!
So much so I can feel her heart
b*ating against my chest.
Note to self: this is
the new number-one moment
for the ol' spank bank!
I am swappin' spit like a
total champ right now. Mm!
I mean, who knew
watching so much p*rn
would make me a
badass in the sack?
[RIAS moans]
[ISSEI]
I may not be a chef,
but I'm about to
stuff me this turkey!
[RIAS moans]
[ISSEI] Holy sh*t, my first
time's gonna be in a sauna,
which is so friggin' hot!
Literally and figuratively! Ooh!
[BOTH moan, pant]
[gasps] You're...
amazing... President!
[RIAS gasps]
President?
We're about to make
passionate love
and you want to
call me... a title?
I can't believe that.
How could you?
U-Uh--huh?
[ISSEI]
President? Are you okay?
Enough, Issei!
[ISSEI gasps]
[ISSEI]
Huh?
[sighs]
What's up, Gasper? How're things
going between Koneko and Ravel?
Well... fine,
except for the whole
"fighting like cats
and chickens" thing.
Sounds about right.
But... even though she kinda
complains the whole time,
I've noticed that Koneko
still helps Ravel out
and while she usually
has a comeback ready,
Ravel does at least
seem willing to listen
to Koneko's instructions.
If you ask me, it sounds like
we can probably
count that as a win.
[ISSEI groans]
Why do girls always
have to be so confusing?
To be fair, jealousy
can bring out the worst
in just about anyone.
That's why they can't help
butting heads like that.
Azazel?
Uh--I don't really
get what you mean.
[AZAZEL chuckles]
I wish I could be helpful to
Ravel in the same way Koneko is,
but I can't even support
someone in battle.
I don't know where I'd start
if I had to help
somebody like that.
I'm the most
useless person ever--
[ISSEI]
Gasper.
Huh?
Listen up. I'm about to
drop some knowledge on ya.
Rule number one for any boys
in the Gremory household:
a real man always protects
the ladies. Got it?
Yeah.
Now, repeat it back.
Oh, um, a real man
always protects the ladies?
Rule two: a real
man stands up tall
regardless of the situation!
Right. A real man stands up tall
regardless of the situation!
[ISSEI]
Last one!
No matter what happens,
never ever give up!
No matter what happens,
don't give up, ever!
Good! Ya nailed it.
If ya ever get
scared or unsure,
just remember you're a man
of the Gremory family.
I've got it now! Right!
I promise to do my best!
Sounds good in theory,
but let's see how it goes, yes?
Start with baby steps.
[ISSEI]
Hm?
Uh--
[AZAZEL] All right.
Let's get started, shall we?
[AZAZEL clears throat]
First up, I have a bit
of news for everybody.
As it turns out, I've been
appointed as your advisor
for the upcoming Rating
Game with Sairaorg.
Hold up. If you're our advisor,
does Sairaorg also
have some know-it-all
that's gonna do crap for him?
Of course.
He will have the emperor
to act as his advisor.
His name is Diehauser Belial.
Wait, as in the Rating Game
champion or whatever?
[KIBA]
Yes. He's quite accomplished.
He's the long-standing
champion of the Rating Game
as well as the head
of the Belial clan.
Don't freak out.
You guys have me.
Lucky ducks.
Now, on to the next
order of business.
[AZAZEL] I trust you all
had a chance to memorize
the data I gave you?
These are the members
of Sairaorg's family.
Like you, they're also
rare types of devils
and they constantly train.
[XENOVIA]
Well, if that's the case,
then the chances are pretty good
they'll be even more powerful
at the game than they are now.
Yes, I think we can
count on that.
But what about their pawns?
As I recall,
they've never appeared
in a recorded battle before.
Now that I think about it,
I don't remember seeing any
at the press conference, either.
That's correct.
And we have little to
no information on them.
Whoever they are,
it's likely they're Sairaorg's
hidden Tr*mp card.
Okay then.
Moving on, Rias is going to
go over our battle tactics
and countermeasures
for the match in detail.
Thank you. Please
look at the screen.
As you can see
from the above image,
Sairaorg's team has one
Queen, as well as two Rooks.
With that, why don't
we call it a day?
One more thing, though.
If you were to join the
professional league,
you'd definitely
climb the ranks.
You already have enough
power for success.
That's nothing to scoff at.
So be proud and take this
challenge on with confidence.
[ALL]
Yes, sir!
[XENOVIA]
Hey, Asia, is this right?
[GASPER] It's so cute!
Don't you think so?
[KONEKO]
Fo sho, I couldn't agree more.
[XENOVIA]
Thanks.
Akeno, see if we can't find any
more info on this one, please.
[BOTH gasp]
Good afternoon, Ravel dear.
[RAVEL]
Mother!
[RAVEL'S MOTHER] Are Rias
and the Red Dragon Emperor
available by any chance?
Why, hello there, Auntie.
It's been quite a while.
Indeed, it has been,
Rias. Good to see you.
You look well.
Hi. I'm Issei Hyodo.
Nice to meet ya.
[RAVEL'S MOTHER]
So you're the Dragon Emperor.
It's so nice to
meet you as well.
I've heard many
wonderful things about you
and I feel so rude that I can't
be there to meet you in person.
Oh, no, you good! But... there
was something you needed me for?
[RAVEL'S MOTHER] Well, yes.
It's nothing too important.
I just wanted to
introduce myself,
even if it's not in
a more proper manner.
Seriously, Auntie, please
stop worrying about it.
We're happy to see
you however we can.
Thank you, Rias.
I did want to ask Mister Hyodo
to take good care of my daughter
while she's attending
your school.
Uh... Uh, yeah, totally.
I'll be a real boss about it
and thankfully the
president's here, too,
and she can def keep a
better eye on your girl.
[RAVEL'S MOTHER] Of course.
Naturally, that's reassuring.
However, I'm asking
that you protect
from the various evils of
the human world specifically.
The evils of the
whatty what now?
If the Red Dragon Emperor,
who's famous for his numerous,
distinguished victories,
stays by my Ravel's side,
then I know my husband and I
will be able to
feel more at ease
while she's away from home
and we can hope for good news.
Yeah, I hear ya loud and clear,
Missus Phoenix, ma'am.
Don't worry. I'll take
care of your daughter!
[RAVEL gasps]
[RAVEL'S MOTHER]
Thank you so much.
And as for you, Ravel dear,
be on your best
behavior, all right?
Make sure you always listen
to Rias and follow her example.
Study hard to learn as much as
you can about the human world
and make our family proud.
Of course, Mother!
[RAVEL'S MOTHER]
And as a personal favor to me,
try to be good friends
with the Dragon Emperor.
One more thing.
Uh, what's up?
[RAVEL'S MOTHER]
Rumor has it that you wish to
become a high-ranking devil.
The rumor is true.
It just so happens
that my daughter
has been returned to my family.
I conducted a trade
with Riser for her.
As such, there's something
I wanted to let you know.
Right now, she's available.
Keep that in mind.
Yes ma'am. I gotcha!
[RAVEL gasps]
Thank you. What a relief!
Well then, good day, everyone!
[RIAS scoffs]
[ISSEI]
Uh...
Uh, hey. Somethin' wrong, Prez?
[RIAS]
Issei. I need to know.
Will you protect me?
Uh...
Yeah, of course.
I'd die for you, President.
[RIAS]
What about Asia?
[ISSEI]
Huh? Yeah. I'd protect her, too.
[RIAS]
And Akeno?
[ISSEI]
Duh, totally! Why wouldn't I?
Still though...
Why are you asking?
Somethin' up?
Issei. Tell me.
Yeah, what?
What am I to you?
How do you see me?
Umm...
Just answer me already.
Okay, uh, let me think.
--You're the president...
--[RIAS gasps]
--You're the president...
You're an ass!
U-Uh...
[OTHERS gasp]
[ASIA]
Rias, wait!
[ISSEI]
U-Uh...
I can't believe you, Issei!
[ISSEI]
Huh?
[KIBA] Even by your standards,
that was way oblivious.
Huh? I don't get it.
What'd I do?
Man, I don't know
where to begin.
And honestly, no one should
have to explain it to you
at this point.
Why is it everyone in this room
knows exactly what you
did wrong, except you?
Yeah, sorry, but you
are, like, seriously
the dumbest guy ever, Issei.
You can suck it.
[ISSEI gasps]
Don't you dare.
Huh?
If you go after her right now
without knowing
why you're going,
you'll only make things worse.
[ISSEI]
Uh...
What about you, Gasper?
Do you think I'm a
piece of sh*t, too?
Well, yeah. I actually kinda do.
[ISSEI gasps, sighs]
I'm sorry.
This all happened because of
my mother and I, didn't it?
No, of course not, sweetie.
No one blames you.
If anything, it's
obviously Issei's fault
for being such an
incredibly brainless dildo
when it comes to
Rias' feelings.
[gasps]
What's a brainless dildo to do?
