This page contains unmarked spoilers for the first four story arcs. You Have Been Warned!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })High School D×D is a Light Novel series written by Ichiei Ishibumi, illustrated by Miyama-Zero and published by Fujimi Shobo that has been adapted into a manga (with a Lighter and Softer Spin-Off titled Asia and Koneko's Secret Contracts) and a popular anime produced by TNK which continued with a fourth season premiering in April 2018, this time animated by Passione. The anime is rated R15+ in Japan. The series is well-known for mixing fanservice with a compelling story and developed characters. A lot of characters, with many of those based on almost all religions and mythologies. It can be best summed up as a mix-and-stir of To Love Ru (or Girls Bravo) and Shin Megami Tensei.Our hero, Issei Hyoudou, is a second-year student at the prestigious mostly-girls school Kuoh Academy. Life is great when he is asked out by a girl named Yuuma Amano. Having never had a girlfriend before, he accepts. The date goes well... until Yuuma reveals herself as a Fallen Angel, stabs Issei through the stomach and leaves him to die. Luckily, Rias Gremory, the school's beautiful, crimson-haired sweetheart, and high-class Devil finds him and resurrects him to act as her servant Devil and work for her and three other Devil students in the school's Occult Research Club. The Club soon stumbles upon mysterious plans that threaten to possibly undermine their lives.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The anime is licensed by FUNimation for both subtitles and English dubbing, while the original light novels and the manga adaptation are both licensed by Yen Press. As of February 2020, the anime's first season is also available on Netflix in Europe. Two licensed games have also been made, one for the Nintendo 3DS, based on the anime's first season, and one (free-to-play and digital only) for the Play Station Vita, instead based on the anime's second season. Unfortunately these two games won't seem to see the light of the day overseas anytime soon.The series also has a prequel, called SLASH/DOG, which was actually started before D×D but published after the latter's success, and a spin-off called D×D EX.The light novels suddenly ended its run on March 20, 2018 with the 25th volume. A new light novel series replacing D×D, appropriately titled Shin High School D×D, was announced in the afterword.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Not to be confused with So, I Can't Play H! (which started airing an anime around the same time with a similar red-haired Magical Girlfriend and perverted male protagonist), or the similarly-named High School Of The Dead and Shinjuku D×D. Don't confuse the DxD part with D&D.

All Men Are Perverts: We start with Issei, but he's definitely not the most perverted guy ever. The only male character who doesn't seem to even be remotely close as a pervert is ironically Vali, his rival.

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents
 High School D×D / int_1434e55c
comment
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Plus older siblings, when they show up on Class Inspection Day. To give you an idea, Sona's older sister Serafall Leviathan, one of the four demon overlords, shows up cosplaying as a Magical Girl (from the Show Within a Show) and acting like a young ditzy teen, much to the former's embarrassment. Rias's father, Zeoticus, also takes some embarrassing footage of her in class, and shows it to Issei's parents during the same arc. And then, judging from how his parents act... No wonder Issei is so perverted.

Heroic BSoD: By the end of volume 1, Issei goes into one after he was fatally wounded by Raynare. He manages to keep going, but it's clear from that point onwards that he hasn't gotten over what happened with Raynare. Well, until Asia, Akeno and Koneko realize Issei's true feelings in Volume 10 at least... Akeno also goes through this in her backstory when she was forced to watch Shuri Himejima get murdered by her own relatives and hit the Despair Event Horizon after she disowned Baraqiel, her father. The Occult Research Club's ashen reactions after learning from Kokabiel that God is Dead says it all. Sona goes through a brief one after finding out that the Rating Games can be rigged easily. Issei falls into one shortly after after Shalba Beelzebub sends Asia to the Dimensional Gap. Cue Issei's Curb-Stomp Battle with Shalba. Rossweisse has a major one when Odin abandons her shortly after defeating Loki. Rias herself goes through one when Issei's unable to confess his feelings for him in the sauna. Played for Laughs with Ddraig whenever someone calls Issei Boob Dragon. It gets to the point that it actually makes him clinically depressed and he requires medication and psychological counseling. Exaggerated when he is crying hysterically for a counselor when Ophis curiously ask if he quit being the Red Dragon Emperor and became Boob Dragon instead. Also Played for Laughs with Albion seeing as his main rival is now known as the Breast Dragon Emperor, which hurts his pride. Also gets called the Butt Dragon Emperor thanks to Vali revealing his fetish. Issei's second untimely demise does quite a number on the Occult Research Club by volume 12. Elmenhilde goes into a state of catatonia after her homeland is destroyed by Rizevim.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 High School D×D / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Issei's Boosted Gear has the ability to double the power of the user every ten seconds at the cost of putting strain on the user. Oh the effects can also be stacked. It may remind some people of the Kaio-ken which boosts the users power, speed, defense, ki, etc. The only change produced by the basic Kaio-ken to be quantified in the series is that it doubles the user's power level. The Kaio-ken is also quite taxing on the user's body. The Khaos Brigade's terrorist attacks are eerily similar to those used by the real-life Al-Qaeda and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) terrorist organizations.

A darker variation with episode 1 of BorN. It starts off with Issei having an erotic dream of the girls topless and telling him to have at them, and he's all-too-eager to start. Then Raynare appears to cruelly mock him and Issei ends up snapping awake on the verge of tears. And then it switches back to erotic mood returns when Akeno shows up in Issei's bed naked.

comment
Cosmic Flaw: In volume 3, an enraged Kiba unlocks the Balance Breaker form of his Sacred Gear "Sword Birth", and performs the impossible act of creating a holy sword out of demonic energy. This confirms some of the older characters' suspicions that both God and Satan are long dead, and the laws of reality are no longer operating as intended. In fact, Sacred Gears (originally created as a way for God to empower human champions) were never intended to be Evolving Weapons at all, and the ability of some of them to kill gods is likewise a relatively new development.

The anti-terrorist task force, named after the above, formed to combat Rizevim and his Qlippoth Faction. Issei's most powerful form, Dragon Drive/Diabolos Dragon.

Gone Horribly Right: Sirzechs originally championed the Grabbin' Dragon series to bring a source of hope and inspiration to the children of the Underworld. The fact that his son prefers the Grabbin' Dragon to Satan Red, i.e. Issei over his own father, depresses him greatly.

End of an Age
 High School D×D / int_1bc2e445
comment
End of an Age: In quite a few ways for the anime, as BorN is the last season with Tetsuya Yanagisawa as director, the last season to feature Takao Yoshioka as a scriptwriter, the last to feature Junji Goto's character designs, and the last with TNK as its animation studio. The death of Rizevim Livan Lucifer signifies the dissolution of the Khaos Brigade and the end of the Old Satan Faction. After Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima's graduation, Yuto Kiba and Asia Argento becoming the next president and vice-president seem to solidify the end of an era for the Rias-led Occult Research Club. The aftermath of Trihexa's rampage results in this. In order to reseal Trihexa and ensure that it will be defeated for good, most of the leaders of the various factions sealed themselves with Trihexa. Also, the entire rampage in the human world was recorded by the media, and what's left of the various factions can only do so much to cover up what really happened. And to top things off, Rizevim and the Evil Dragons managed to make contact with another dimension and sent over information on teleportation techniques, and with nobody to keep Indra in check, interdimensional war is a huge possibility in 30 years.

Immortal Procreation Clause
 High School D×D / int_1be36a63
comment
Immortal Procreation Clause: Devils live for 10,000 years, but don't reproduce very quickly. This appears to be a similar issue for Angels and Fallen Angels, with the former group barely able to engage in intimacy at all without turning into the latter group. The low fertility rate became particularly problematic after the massive casualties from the Great War, which included the Biblical God and consequently, any increase in Pure Angel numbers. Devils and Angels have taken to reincarnating other races into their own with Evil Pieces and Brave Saints, respectively. To put it in perspective, Rias' older brother Sirzechs and his wife have been married since the end of the Devil Civil War when Sirzechs was around 60-70 years old, with said war happening 500 years before series start and have only had one son. There's also the fact that Rias herself is nearly 550 years younger than her older brother and said nephew is only a few years younger than her.

The devils also have a strength tier with ultimate being the highest level and low-level devils being the lowest. In a subversion, however, the entire Occult Club with the exception of Rias are all low-level devils and they are all considered with the exception of Asia and Gasper until his Curb-Stomp Battle with Georg to be high-level devils if not stronger. Ironically Rias herself ends up as one of the weaker members with most of the rest of the Occult Club surpassing her.

Marshmallow Hell
 High School D×D / int_1ce83c47
comment
Marshmallow Hell: Actually Marshmallow Heaven for Issei. Issei is very, very much a boobs man. While never exactly innocent, the reasons for it run the gamut from fluffy (it's just how Rias hugs him; she's tall, affectionate, and has romantic feelings that lead her to indulge him a bit) to sultry (Akeno has designs to be The Mistress and gets a kick out of anything scandalous). In the Season 2 OVA a pervy monster strips the girls and, manipulating their bras, makes them surround Issei to stop his attack. Issei manages to No-Sell the strip attack by catching the girls and (this being Issei) pulling them towards him and Marshmallowing himself. This manages to piss off the monster so much (because of course it's jealous) it decides to absorb the girls instead.

When Issei first gets his powers in the anime, the Fallen Angel that's attacking him, Kalawarner, gets what little clothes she's wearing blown off.

Deal with the Devil
 High School D×D / int_1fc8335e
comment
Deal with the Devil: The ORC's job between crisis situation is to fulfill literal ones, but in a subversion most of them appear to be generic odd jobs that don't need any kind of demonic ability to complete. For example, one of Koneko's regular contractors is a costume designer who uses her to model loli cosplay outfits.

comment
Harmful Healing: Issei's most recent power up, Diabolos Dragon causes him to become almost allergic to breasts; something that normally heals him. It's so bad, that he's incapable of saying the word, seeing them in life, and just holding an erotic magazine causes him seizures.

Chekhov's Gun
 High School D×D / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: Asia showing the holy water to the club room proves instrumental to Issei when he needed to defeat Riser. Back in Volume 4, Issei absorbed some of Vali's powers by infusing a part of the White Dragon Emperor's shard in him, thus being able to use Divine Dividing with only a Million to One Chance of it working. In Volume 10, while Issei's almost about to lose consciousness, one of the past White Dragon Emperors appeared to him and told him to never give up and used its halving abilities to make the remnants of the past Red Dragon Emperors lose their grip on Issei. He then gets to use Illegal Trident Cardinal Crimson Queen. In volume 16, Issei and Ddraig figure out a new more permanent use for the White Dragon Emperor's power, making lots of small white dragon statuettes that float around him, reflecting and dividing the power of enemy attacks (Possibly only working during the previously mentioned Cardinal Crimson Queen).

Adaptation Expansion
 High School D×D / int_23473ae7
comment
Adaptation Expansion: In the light novel, the scene where Rias gives Issei 1,000 spankings as punishment for going behind her back is treated as a brief gag. In the anime, it's expanded to a full scene where Issei tries to absolve Koneko of any blame, so she won't be punished alongside him. Every anime episode has at least one scene that isn't in the light novels. Some show events that Issei hears about but doesn't witness (e.g., Rias luring out and killing the three fallen angels), while others are shameless Fanservice that ties into the overall plot loosely if at all (e.g., Rias and Sona's sauna scenes). In BorN, Loki has a larger role to the point where he curses Issei and Rias, due to a future version of him creating alternate timelines as depicted in EX.

To put it in perspective, Rias' older brother Sirzechs and his wife have been married since the end of the Devil Civil War when Sirzechs was around 60-70 years old, with said war happening 500 years before series start and have only had one son. There's also the fact that Rias herself is nearly 550 years younger than her older brother and said nephew is only a few years younger than her.

God-Karting with Beelzebub: While the devils, angels, and fallen angels are all technically enemies, most of them have no qualms interacting on friendly terms. The Archangel Michael is shown to be exceptionally respectful to members of the other classes, even giving Issei the special Holy Sword, Ascalon, to help him beat the White Dragon Emperor. This gets further played afterthe three races unite under a peace treaty. They might as well not even be of different classes post that happening.

Trivial Title: "High School D×D". The story takes place at a high school, so the first part is justified, but "D×D"? Well, apart from being a Stealth Punnote "D×D" > "DD" > "Double-D", the title does come up a few times - firstly as the title of Great Red, the "Dragon of Dragons", and secondly as the name of a team created in Volume 16. In Volume 20 Issei's new form is called D×D.

Power is Sexy
 High School D×D / int_2de5077d
comment
In one of the light novels, Rias' mother implies that this is the default state for all male near-immortals, directly invoking Power is Sexy (although, interestingly, she states that Sirzechs does not do this specifically because of his position). The Immortal Procreation Clause is presumably also an influence. Akeno makes matter-of-fact references to "numbered" wives, stating that Rias will be "legal wife" and Asia will be "second," and she herself will be "third position," as if it's the most natural thing in the world, although Issei has no idea what she's talking about (and she claims that it does have a "feeling" of unfaithfulness). Issei having 10 kids in the future may seem like a lot to someone raised in a culture shaped by stable population growth, but considering that the devils periodically have to bolster their ranks with reincarnated humans, it really isn't.

One particularly evil Norse god inflicts a curse on Asia before going to the past to wreak havoc on the anime's timeline with interdimensional monsters called Underworld Lifeforms, leading to the events of BorN. Fortunately, Issei's children travel back in time to capture Loki and learn how to undo the curse, with the implication being that the future Three Powers and their allies are planning to erase the BorN timeline (and any other timelines Loki has created) from existence. Unfortunately, it ends on a Sequel Hook before they can actually do so.

Power Levels

Power Levels: Vali invokes this to Issei that the latter is ranked somewhere in the 4 digits and that Sirzechs won't enter the top 10. According to Ishibumi, this is who Vali meant when he referred to the top 10. Disregarding Great Red, we have (in no particular order): Ophis (before her Nerf), Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, Śakra, Thor, Typhon (or Fenrir and this is before its Nerf), Hades, Aten, and Lugh. The devils also have a strength tier with ultimate being the highest level and low-level devils being the lowest. In a subversion, however, the entire Occult Club with the exception of Rias are all low-level devils and they are all considered with the exception of Asia and Gasper until his Curb-Stomp Battle with Georg to be high-level devils if not stronger. Ironically Rias herself ends up as one of the weaker members with most of the rest of the Occult Club surpassing her.

Someday This Will Come in Handy
 High School D×D / int_3502f0ce
comment
Someday This Will Come in Handy: Back in volume 4, Sirzechs asks Issei what would happen if Issei used Gift on Rias's breasts then tells the latter not to worry about it, which obviously makes Issei think of a lot of crazy outcomes on what will happen. It mostly gets forgotten, until Volume 11 where the spirits of the past users of Boosted Gear bring it up again. It replenishes Issei's aura at the cost of Rias's breasts (temporarily) shrinking.

This Means War!: Issei declares war on Xenovia and Irina after they taunt and attempt to kill Asia for becoming a devil in volume 3. When Issei protects Koneko from harm in Volume 5, he declares war on Kuroka. He does it twice in Volume 25, first toward Vidar for forcing an Arranged Marriage on his current Rook Rossweisse and later toward Hades for sending Grim Reapers to attack his father (they were actually acting independently to avenge Thanatos' defeat).

comment
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Despite having some cynical traits such as the Occult Research Club's members' Dark and Troubled Pasts, the series stays idealistic for the most part. After all, seeing Angels, Fallen Angels and Devils all getting along and willing to work together isn't something you see every day.

In the finale of NEW, Rias, Asia and Akeno are clinging on to Rias while the other Occult Research Club members look on. At the end of BorN, Rias smiles from the clubhouse's window once again, this time with Issei accompanied by the Occult Research Club members.

Bittersweet Ending
 High School D×D / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: A staple of the series: At the end of the first arc, Raynare and her mooks are dead, Asia and Issei join the Occult Research Club after Rias transforms them into devils and Issei and Rias become lovers after he defeats Riser, but Raynare's betrayal has taken a toll on Issei's emotions and the Fallen Angels now know of his Sacred Gear. In the second arc, Kokabiel has been captured; Kiba comes to terms with his past; the Excalibur swords are recovered; Xenovia and Irina are transformed into a devil and an angel, respectively; Azazel leads a successful peace conference with the Three Factions; Katerea, Creuserey and Diodora are killed; Azazel becomes the club's advisor; and Xenovia and Irina reconcile with Asia. However, Xenovia is excommunicated from the Church, Vali escapes and Shalba is still out there. Surprisingly, the canon spin-off EX revealed that the girls in Issei's harem will have a truly bittersweet future: Issei succeeded in his goal of becoming the "Harem King" and is revealed to have married every girl in his harem. On the downside, due to Issei's fame in Underworld, he's too busy beating up supernatural invaders to the point of almost (and potentially) neglecting his wives and kids. Lampshaded by the author, who said he wanted an ending where the characters don't have a 100% happy future. It's worth noting that the only person who suggests Issei is actually neglectful is Ex, who has a massive case of Hero Worship towards his father. Its implied the reason he's angry Issei didn't prevent the attack on Asia (Issei was dealing with a dozen other simultaneous assaults by God-level beings) is because he didn't care, as Ex believe Issei is more or less all-powerful.

Leg Focus: Alongside all the breasts of various sizes flopping about, another significant form of fanservice in the story is the long and slender legs on most of the females, with most of the cast having ridiculously small skirts for the express purpose of showing them off. This is especially prominent with the "horizontally" challenged girls, who make up for what they lack up top by frequently showing off their impressive gams, often by having a Kick Chick fighting style.

Surrounded by Idiots: Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils all suffer from this early in the series. The first few story arcs present the Fallen Angels as the default villains, but the leaders of all three factions are cool guys entirely willing to get along, while most of the trouble gets stirred up by their overzealous or rebellious subordinates. Largely phased out as they become The Alliance in favor of more external threats.

Baraqiel became one to Akeno Himejima years ago. She deeply loved her father as a child, but then, her mother Shuri was killed and Baraqiel failed to save her. Akeno disowned her father and went into exile. She makes several points to Issei about how Baraqiel wasn't around when she needed him the most, even saying it to the latter's face. It becomes a Rebuilt Pedestal when Issei helps Akeno reconcile with her father for good.

Trauma Button: Issei's PTSD is triggered when he hears and sees Raynare in his dreams. Akeno's own PTSD is triggered whenever someone mentions her Fallen Angel father Baraqiel, until they reconcile thanks to Issei.

Mirroring Factions
 High School D×D / int_4f6cf75
comment
Mirroring Factions: The three classes of supernatural beings. This is especially made prominent when the angel, fallen angel, and devil leaders sit down to have a peace meeting. Archangel Michael makes it clear that he does not see the other races as inherently evil, nor does he believe all of his own race to be inherently pure, admitting that excommunicating Asia and Xenovia from the church for their fairly innocent actions was brash and wrong, even asking that they forgive him.

Their first outing has Rias watching Issei and his friends from afar in the Occult Research Club's building and she does the same here, this time watching the entire Occult Research Club.

Corrupt Church: Even the members who form La Résistance later are only doing so because they can't deal with suddenly having to throw hundreds of years of hatred and all their personal pain away like it was meaningless. The Leaders of The Alliance recognize this and instead of crushing them, purposefully have them fight people too strong for them to kill but not strong enough to defeat them, so they can let all of their suppressed hatred out and move on. They peacefully surrender afterward.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 High School D×D / int_56723175
comment
Adaptation Induced Plothole: The anime depicts Rias and the Occult Research Club watching over Issei as he meets Raynare, and Rias ordering them not to approach him despite the danger Raynare possesses, implying she was waiting for Raynare to kill him so she could recruit him into her peerage. However, the only reason Issei is revived at all is because of a Summoning Crest given to him by Rias' familiar, who was handing them out to people indiscriminately. Him having it is what summoned her and led to his revival, something that wouldn't be needed if she was watching over him like the anime depicted and was expecting him to die. Furthermore, its made clear that someone doesn't have to die to be recruited into a peerage, as demonstrated by Sona's pawns Saji and Ruruko, and later with Xenovia and Rossweisse, raising the question that if Rias really wanted him to join her peerage, why didn't she just ask him upfront? The anime takes what was a revival by pure chance in the source material and turns it into a case of "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot in the anime.

Enemy Mine
 High School D×D / int_5989e3b6
comment
Enemy Mine: Xenovia has no issues siding with the devils in Rias's group in order to take out the Fallen Angels who have stolen some holy swords. The latter are helping partly because they're fighting a common enemy, but also because of Kiba's obsession with destroying holy swords, due to his Dark and Troubled Past where he was forced to take part in experiments to be able to wield them, only to then watch the other kids get killed when they were no longer useful in the experiment. As a result, the others decide they want to help him, since the end result was still getting rid of the holy swords. Fortunately, Xenovia makes a Heel–Face Turn after learning that God is Dead despite her ironic exile from the church, even having Rias transform her into a devil. Played for Laughs during Issei's first fight with Irina. He attempts to use his Dress Break move on her, but Koneko warns the girl what said ability is used for. Consequently, Irina dodges his attempts to touch her. When he complains about Koneko helping their enemy, she simply states that he is an enemy to all women. Issei's boost gear, Ddraig, tells him about the three-way war between heaven, hell, and the fallen angels during episode 8 in season 2. He mentions that for the most part, the dragons stayed out of the conflict, but two of them, himself and Albion, joined the fray. They raised such a ruckus that all three sides stopped fighting temporarily to stop the two dragons. In the end, the two dragons were chopped up, and their souls sealed in the boost gear that their respective humans have. And because of the nature of their being, they're always destined to fight each other should they meet.

Adaptation Distillation: Subverted with the third anime season, BorN. The season is essentially an adaptation of volumes 5 through 7, just condensed and with some rather major divergences, especially in the second half. It was one of the major factors for Ichiei Ishibumi writing the EX spin-off light novel, turning the last four episodes of that season into an Alternate Continuity.

Million to One Chance
 High School D×D / int_5b12f598
comment
Back in Volume 4, Issei absorbed some of Vali's powers by infusing a part of the White Dragon Emperor's shard in him, thus being able to use Divine Dividing with only a Million to One Chance of it working. In Volume 10, while Issei's almost about to lose consciousness, one of the past White Dragon Emperors appeared to him and told him to never give up and used its halving abilities to make the remnants of the past Red Dragon Emperors lose their grip on Issei. He then gets to use Illegal Trident Cardinal Crimson Queen. In volume 16, Issei and Ddraig figure out a new more permanent use for the White Dragon Emperor's power, making lots of small white dragon statuettes that float around him, reflecting and dividing the power of enemy attacks (Possibly only working during the previously mentioned Cardinal Crimson Queen).

Declaration of Protection: Subverted with Asia in episode 3. Issei does try to protect her, but he's nowhere near strong enough to fight Freed, and only manages to land one lucky punch. Issei even suspected he was outmatched, and were it not for the timely arrival of Rias, he probably would've died there. Played straight in Volume 6, where both Issei and Xenovia swear that if Diodora ever comes near Asia again, they will kill him.

Late-Arrival Spoiler
 High School D×D / int_5f3bb274
comment
Late-Arrival Spoiler: Asia being killed by Raynare, and thereafter resurrected as a devil is a major spoiler for the first arc of the series, and only occurs at the end of Volume 1 (or Episode 5 in the anime). It is almost impossible to talk about the series without spoiling this fact somewhat, although it is possible to downplay it so the scene still comes as a surprise. The fact that God is Dead is a major twist in the second season/third volume, but provides much of the lore of the series, and is often spoiled.

Belly Dancer: In the second OVA from Season 1, Issei becomes possessed by the mummy of an Egyptian Magician named Unas, who is just as perverted as Issei. Unas claims that he'll only release him if they remove the curse that binds him. The methods of removing it being perverted in nature; the first is Rias dance in a skimpy belly dancer outfit.

Big Eater: What Koneko Toujou lacks in portion size, she makes up for in consistency. Whenever she's seen during downtime, she's constantly snacking on something, yet somehow keeps her figure as a tiny underclassman. Possibly justified by her position as a Rook, those insane feats of strength she casually performs must burn calories pretty efficiently. Plus her less active (albeit older) sister is... significantly curvier.

Instant Armor
 High School D×D / int_62e7f243
comment
Instant Armor: Issei's Sacred Gear starts out as an Instant Gauntlet, but as it grows more powerful, it gradually expands to cover most of his arm. Then, after he sacrifices his arm to Ddraig for a short-term power boost, his left arm becomes the gauntlet, and he has to use magic to keep it normal. Later on, he becomes able to summon a fully-covering suit of magical armor to go with it. And Vali - the White Dragon Emperor - can use his version of this power pretty much from the start, and does so with abandon.

 High School D×D / int_648e3ba4
comment
Our Wyverns Are Different: Wyvern-like spirits are summoned as part of Issei's "Dividing Wyvern Fairy" technique, and wield the shard of the white dragon Albion's power. Issei later learns how to have the wyverns switch between white and red forms, and to combine into a duplicate of his armor which can be worn by his allies. In volume 21, it's revealed that Albion was once a poisonous dragon named Gwiber (a Welsh word cognate with "wyvern"), but became disgusted by his abilities and sealed them away. When he comes to accept his old name he unlocks the original version of Dividing Wyvern Fairy, equipped with a poison which can kill even gods.

Canon Welding: While at first, it seems that Tobio Ikuse was just a Canon Immigrant from the flopped version of SLASHDØG, With the introduction of Tobio's teammates and Akeno's extended family on the Himejima side, most of which were introduced in the rewrite of SLASHDØG, it became this. The two stories also get welded with Ishibumi's first work, Denpachi which he wrote simply for a contest Fujimi Shobo was holding, due to the protagonist of that story, Kanzaki, being mentioned in Volume 24 and shows up in Volume 25, thus properly making it The 'Verse.

 High School D×D / int_6a6760fa

A hilarious combination of the trope both being played straight and combined with The Power of Hate comes in Volume 6, where Issei and Koneko make use of the intense rivalry between Rias and Akeno. Both girls are struggling with a trio of strong opponents, and Issei tells Akeno he'll take her out on a date if she wins. Akeno immediately gains a Heroic Second Wind, followed by a furious and jealous Rias gaining an even greater second wind, topped in short order by another one from Akeno, until both women are putting out peak power. Their main opponent angrily berates them for arguing over a man during their battle, and the two women angrily blast her away, demanding she stay out of it.

The Power of Love
 High School D×D / int_6a696742
comment
The Power of Love: Issei is powered by a combination of lust and genuine love/care for his friends. However, in a slightly surprising twist, him calling on the power of love is generally a horrific, bloody, and all around terrifying experience. Asia's apparent murder by Shalba triggered Juggernaut Drive, which nearly caused him to kill all his friends. Ravel's kidnapping meant he no longer cared what happened to Mooks in his way. His parents being taken nearly drove him insane with rage. In short, the Power of Love is invoked when the object of love is threatened, and used to ensure whatever threat existed ceases to do so immediately.

The Power of Lust: Issei Hyodo dreams of one day becoming the "Harem King." He's always been a pervert obsessed with breasts. Eventually, he dies and a beautiful devil named Rias resurrects him, turning him into a devil in order to make him her "Pawn." He then learns he possesses the power of a Dragon King. Though he can access this power without a problem, it is only after being motivated by the prospect of groping Rias's breasts that his full power and potential is unleashed.

Dub-Induced Plot Hole
 High School D×D / int_6a85e9e1
comment
Dub-Induced Plot Hole: Hoo boy, BorN has a doozy. In seasons one and two, the translators apparently mistook Issei calling Rias "buchou" (fan-translated as "Prez" in most places, including this very page) as a purely cultural thing and had him use her name normally... except it's not, it's a symptom of Token Motivational Nemesis Raynare having scarred Issei way deeper than anyone thought, and Rias definitely noticed the pattern. Come Season 3, a plot-critical character arc's handling make its end result uncertain due to the Alternate Continuity. Interestingly, the Funimation ADR (dub) scripts were written by Rias' American voice actress Jamie Marchi, although it's not clear if she did the translation or did the arrangement (or both; she has said that she enjoys giving characters "more personality"). A large part of the (modern) ADR process for anime involves making sure that the show does not turn into a ridiculous-looking (and/or distracting) Hong Kong Dub, which requires synchronizing the translated dialogue with the characters' Mouth Flaps. Direct 1:1 translations for anime are tricky at best, due to the fact that translated dialogue rarely has the same number of syllables as the original (and that's not even going into purely cultural concepts that just plain cannot be translated in simple terms); "buchou" and "Rias" are each two syllables, while "Prez" is one and "President" is three. Regardless, the plot hole is easily fixable, especially since BorN uses a Reset Button Ending and Hero retcons the previous season altogether with a Recap Episode. When it comes time for "Buchou is Buchou"/"That's the first time you've ever said my name," it could easily be transformed into "You're my master"/"You've never said my name like that," or something similar. More importantly, while the use of her name may raise eyebrows among people familiar with the light novels or the untranslated cartoon, it is a plot point, not a subplot in and of itself. The subplot is Rias being unable to tell Issei's true feelings, and the anime laid the groundwork for that (both in Japanese and the dub, although with different dialogue) before BorN.

Meaningful Name
 High School D×D / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Issei's last name Hyoudou means "regular soldier" in Japanese, given his initial status as a pawn. Rias's last name is one of the 72 Pillars of the Ars Goetia, and is said to show herself as an attractive woman. Her Pawn is a Fairy Chess Piece that can also move sideways. It was proposed as a way to "shake up" the rules of chess, as Issei does for the Rating Game. This part is later double subverted, as Ishibumi revealed that being the Pokémon nerd that he is, named her after Garchompnote Whose Japanese name is Gaburias., who just so happens to be a Dragon type (which is weak against Fairy types). Asia's surname is Italian for "silver", as in silver crosses. She wears one in her introductory arc before being revived as a devil. Akeno Himejima's last name means "Island Princess" and is also the name of a place in Japan. Kiba's name is the Japanese word for "Horse Rider", given that knights in chess are represented by horses. Koneko is a good name for a Cat Girl as it is Japanese for "kitten" (more literally "child cat"), while her surname Toujou means "castle", befitting her position as Rook. Her real name, Shirone, means "White Sound", in reference to her hair and tail color. Xenovia's last name, Quarta, means "fourth" in Italian, Catalan, Latin, and Portuguese. Xenovia becomes the fourth girl to join the ORC after Asia. Irina Shido's first name is a variant of Irene, being a Cyrillic-transliterated Christian Orthodox feminine given name of Greek origin that is used in Eastern Europe. Irina is a devout Christian. Karnstein is the name of the vampire countess featured in the novella of the same name, the prototype for Lesbian Vampire (which explains why the Carmilla faction are very matriarchal. It is speculated that Elmenhilde's progenitor is no other than the countess Mircalla Karnstein, aka Elizabeth Bathory herself, similar to Vlad Tepes to Tepes faction). In a meta-sense, the Carmilla novella actually predated Dracula by about twenty six years, reflecting her inferiority view towards the Tepes faction vampires. Vasco is a Portuguese name derived from the medieval Iberian name Velasco. Strada is the Italian word for "street". Ewald is a Germanic name which is made up of the words ewa ("law or custom") and wald ("rule"). Cristialdi is an Italian name possibly based off of the Sicilian word cristaudu, which means "Crystal". Teodoro Legrenzi's first name is the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese form of the male name Theodore.

Every anime episode has at least one scene that isn't in the light novels. Some show events that Issei hears about but doesn't witness (e.g., Rias luring out and killing the three fallen angels), while others are shameless Fanservice that ties into the overall plot loosely if at all (e.g., Rias and Sona's sauna scenes).

This is not the first time her English actress Jad Saxton played a cat-like creature before, as she voiced Carla in Fairy Tail. It's also not the first time Rossweisse's English VA Mallorie Rodak voiced a girl who underwent a Shameful Strip, as she also voiced Yukino Agria in Fairy Tail. Bonus points for both characters having white hair.

Issei averts being an Almighty Janitor and advances to being a Mid-Class devil halfway through the original series. After the fourth arc, he's promoted further into a High-Class devil, and starts running his own peerage and Rating Games team. The only thing preventing him from being higher rank is that he still needs to acclimate himself with the responsibilities that come with his higher rank, and even then everyone acknowledges that it's only a matter of time.

Adaptational Curves
 High School D×D / int_7642d227
comment
Adaptational Curves: Inverted for the anime, where Ravel Phenex is depicted with smaller-than-expected breasts, apparently to make her look more like the "little sister" niche she was actively filling (long story). Ishibumi has gone on record stating he considers this artist error, and her appearances in later seasons give her a chest more in line with novel illustrations. Played straight for Hero, where Koneko, Venelana and Asia are significantly more buxom than they were in either the light novel, manga or the anime's first three seasons. In Asia's case, her bust matches her light novel's counterpart.

Arrogant God vs. Raging Monster
 High School D×D / int_7990856a
comment
Arrogant God vs. Raging Monster: Almost an Enforced Trope. Divine Dividing is the "Arrogant God", capable of stealing half the opponent's power to fuel the wielder's technical skills. Boosted Gear is the "Raging Monster", doubling the holder's power every ten seconds to obvious effect. It's further reinforced in the current generation, where Divine Dividing is held by Vali Lucifer, a Born Winner with enough Devil-power to fuel usually suicidal abilities with no drawback and plenty of experience as a Spirited Competitor/Blood Knight. Meanwhile Boosted Gear belongs to Issei Hyoudou, a completely unremarkable human who couldn't even manifest his Sacred Gear until after his First-Episode Resurrection. As the plot wears on, the trope gets examined further. In particular, their fights make Issei realize that having Success Through Insanity is only going to get him out alive so many times, and as soon as he's trained enough brute strength to avoid a Heroic RRoD the first thing he does is start including more technique in his regimen. This makes him exactly as dangerous as it sounds.

For Want of a Nail: If Azazel didn't have Raynare murder Issei because of his Sacred Gear, not only would she not go out on a date with Issei, but Rias wouldn't have transformed him into a Devil after he was fatally wounded, he wouldn't have befriended Asia, Raynare's plot to steal her Sacred Gear would've never been discovered, and Azazel wouldn't have joined the Occult Research Club. If Zeoticus didn't arrange for Rias to marry Riser, not only would Issei not have his Engagement Challenge, but Rias would've never continued to pursue her relationship with Issei, and Ravel wouldn't have transferred to Kuoh Academy and joined the Occult Research Club. If Diodora hadn't stabbed himself and had Asia heal him, she wouldn't have been exiled from the Church as a heretic, she wouldn't have formed a friendship with either Issei, Xenovia or Irina, and Diodora wouldn't have been curb-stomped by Issei. If Xenovia and Irina would've just found the Excalibur swords by themselves instead of teaming up with the Occult Research Club, Xenovia wouldn't have encountered Asia, the truth that God is Dead wouldn't have been discovered, Kokabiel wouldn't have captured by Vali, Xenovia wouldn't have been excommunicated from the Church as a heretic and befriended Asia, and Kokabiel's plans for the Great War would've gone ahead. Azazel sent Baraqiel on a mission, only for the latter to be wounded, discovered by Shuri Himejima, and have their daughter, Akeno. If Shuri wouldn't have been killed by her own relatives, Akeno wouldn't have disowned her father and joined the Occult Research Club, and she ultimately wouldn't have started a relationship with Issei. If Azazel didn't negotiate a peace treaty between the Fallen Angels, Angels and Devils, the Khaos Brigade would've never been discovered, Vali wouldn't have gained a rival-turned-friendship in the form of Issei, the youkai wouldn't have formed an alliance with the devils, Kunou wouldn't have befriended Issei, Yasaka wouldn't have been rescued by Issei and Sun Wukong wouldn't have helped Issei defeat Cao Cao.

Bullying a Dragon: Raynare probably shouldn't have picked a fight with Rias and Issei like that. Also, her mooks mocked Rias to her face regarding Issei's trauma. It did not go well for them, at all. The Old Satan Faction intends to kill off the Four Great Satans, who are viewed by them as unworthy successors. It backfires on them big time when the faction's leaders are killed. Diodora decides to underestimate Issei's powers as the Red Dragon Emperor when he attempts to rescue Asia. It doesn't work.

comment
God and Satan Are Both Jerks: Inverted. Most Devils are represented in a positive light, as are the Angels and most Fallen Angels, which is closer to the original depictions of devils in some sources (where they are primarily a trickster figure who tempts humans to do their bidding rather than outright omnicidal, maliciously evil. The devil jobs that Issei and co. do reflect this).

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 High School D×D / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Azazel and Baraqiel are directly responsible for Akeno's final transformation into a devil. Azazel dispatches Baraqiel, who marries Shuri Himejima and having their daughter Akeno in the process. Unfortunately, it led to the Himejimas killing Shuri because they resent Fallen Angels. When she saw Baraqiel, Akeno was not amused and they became estranged. Zekram having the old devils murder Cleria when she found out about the illegal "King" piece allowed the Rating Game corruption to be left virtually unchecked for years. Issei destroying one of Cao Cao's eyes didn't exactly end well when he gets a rematch with replacing his now-missing eye with Medusa's eye. Zekram kept the truth about Cleria's relationship with Masaomi Yaegaki hidden, which later allowed the resurrected Masaomi to catch members of the Great King Faction and exorcists off-guard and kill them. While Fafnir had perfectly understandable reasons to kill Rizevim, actually carrying them out brought the world into an unprecedented level of peril thanks to Rizevim's last-minute unsealing of Trihexa.

Sadly, due to Executive Meddling, Issei is going to have to wait a while to finally make good on that opportunity.

Exactly What It Says on the Tin
 High School D×D / int_8409a385
comment
Besides Sacred Gears there are people that are born into a special lineage which gives them special power exclusive to their family. Rias's family has the Power of Destruction, for example. Vali once again wins this lottery because he is the descendant of Lucifer thus he has great magic power that further boosts the power of his Sacred Gear by allowing him to feed his magic power for Juggernaut Drive which allows him to be the only person that could use this ability without drawback.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Issei is perverted and easily-angered, while Vali is seen as calm and collected. Rias and Akeno also follow this trope. Rias is a fire-willed redhead who'll go on a fit if anyone of her peers are hurt (especially if it's Issei), while Akeno - when in non-sadomasochist tease mode - is a bonafide Yamato Nadeshiko.

Broken Pedestal: Xenovia loses her trust with the Church after learning that God is Dead at the end of volume 3. Baraqiel became one to Akeno Himejima years ago. She deeply loved her father as a child, but then, her mother Shuri was killed and Baraqiel failed to save her. Akeno disowned her father and went into exile. She makes several points to Issei about how Baraqiel wasn't around when she needed him the most, even saying it to the latter's face. It becomes a Rebuilt Pedestal when Issei helps Akeno reconcile with her father for good. Odin becomes one to Rossweisse at the end of Volume 7. She is introduced as his bodyguard, often taking care of him on trips and supporting his life. She often tries to get Odin off of his perverted antics. Unfortunately for Rossweisse, Odin abandons her after the battle with Loki. Since then, the mere sight of Odin will immediately set her off.

Story-Breaker Power: Ophis displays zero interest in fighting, because if she ever got serious, she would destroy every opponent easily and thus finds fighting with anybody except Great Red pointless. Even when weakened, she's still double the strength of the two Heavenly Dragons. And even she pales compared to what Great Red can do. He combines with Issei, made him Kaiju-sized, and told Issei to use his Dangerous Forbidden Technique (Longinus Smasher), and with some assistance by Grayfia and her group just to launch the enemy in the air, obliterates the giant monster who has an instant regeneration. All Issei could say after that was "Amazing". There's also Son Wukong, who easily blocked the True Longinus with one finger and forced the entire Hero Faction to retreat.

Badass Army: Take all of the crew mentioned below in Badass Crew plus the Heaven's Brave Saints squad, use Executive order to form a special counter-terrorist task force, and you get the SOCOM-esque D×D team. Azazel, Sirzechs, and Michael even plan on making a JSOC version, codenamed "ExE"

Formula with a Twist
 High School D×D / int_891aa66d
comment
Formula with a Twist: The series blends the conventions of a Shōnen action fantasy involving Demons vs Devils vs Angels with that of a Harem Genre, with the main character determined to be come a "Harem King". The "harem ending" thus becomes a Foregone Conclusion, as (aside from the Fanservice), it's the entire draw of the series.

Buxom Is Better
 High School D×D / int_89295a38
comment
Buxom Is Better: Definitely deserves a mention considering the entire reason Issei even ogled Rias in the first place (kickstarting the foundation for his harem) were her shapely, round mounds. And of course all of Issei's future women end up having big breasts (either by already having them or growing them out as a part of a growth spurt) as seen in Marry Them All. And there's the Oppai Dragon, an in-universe fictional character that is all about booby power!

Back from the Dead: Issei is killed by Raynare, a Fallen Angel, in the first volume, but is revived by Rias as a devil. Asia is also killed by Raynare at the end of the first volume when the latter steals her Sacred Gear. She too is revived by Rias as a Bishop. This happens to Issei again after being "killed" by Shalba in Volume 11.

Naked Apron: Issei sees Asia wearing one during season 2. When he protests that his parents would be mad if they saw her like that, his mom pops out from the kitchen, stating she was the one that came up with the idea. Rias then decides to do the same as well. The first special of Season 3 has Rias and Akeno compete for Issei's affections. Rias begins by acting and dressing like a sexy school teacher while Akeno plays the role of housewife wearing nothing but an apron.

Wham Episode
 High School D×D / int_8e20979

Wham Episode: Volume 7. During the battle against Loki, Issei and the others do battle against his minions. Mjölnir then arrives, and Issei is the only one present strong enough to wield it. As he goes for it, Fenrir leaps up and bites him, severely wounding him in the process. Volume 20 of the light novel has Issei's parents be revealed of what Issei has become over the course of the series (See Broken Masquerade above) and Trihexa, a being that is theorized to possibly be able to kill Great Red, of all beings, is finally awakened. Volume 21 ensures that Nothing Is the Same Anymore. In order to ensure Trihexa doesn't escape from its new seal, most of the faction leaders and their subordinates seal themselves with Trihexa in order to battle it for who knows how long. This includes Sirzechs, Serafall and Falbium and their peerages (minus the Queens), Michael, Raphael and Uriel and their Brave Saints (minus the Aces), Azazel, Odin and Zeus. And to top it all off, the media caught the battles in the human world, exposing the existence of the supernatural, and Rizevim and the Evil Dragons threw one last middle finger at the good guys by establishing contact with another dimension and sending information on teleportation techniques across, meaning that according to estimates, interdimensional war is imminent in thirty years.

Cliffhanger: Episode 4 of BorN ends on one, with Rias developing a huge Battle Aura and declaring she'll never forgive Loki after Issei is severely wounded by Fenrir, one of Loki's beasts. Episode 8 of BorN shows Asia fade away and presumably die just moments after being rescued from Diodora. Volume 19 also ends this way, with Riser and Ravel both being MIA after their Rating Game against Diehauser Belial.

Fountain of Youth: One short story has Rias and Asia turned into children, with their memories sealed and their behavior and intelligence scaled down appropriately. The Club manages to reverse the effects by the end, only for Issei (who the two had been trying to de-age in the first place when Rias's spell backfired) to suffer this when Gasper unintentionally pushes him into the magic circle. His mind isn't altered, but the Club decides that restoring him isn't a priority.

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Happens to a bunch of kids that were part of an illegal, forced experiment to wield holy swords. Turns out none of them were able to do it, and when the project was discovered later, it was shut down, and the kids were exterminated instead of freed. Kiba was one of the children, and the others sacrificed themselves in order to give him a chance to escape. He later vows Revenge for them, and Rias takes him in so that he could serve her instead of dying in the forest.

Can't Catch Up
 High School D×D / int_94d2506d
comment
Can't Catch Up: Beginning to show shades of this in the light novels in regards to the other members compared to Issei and Kiba, but especially Issei. They both start off as relatively weak members of the Occult Club with Issei being by far the weakest and Kiba being only around Koneko's level at best. Rias and Akeno at this point were far stronger. Then Kiba and Issei master Balance Breaker and everyone is left coughing in the dust. This is best exemplified when Issei was able to beat Sairaorg Bael using his Balance Breaker whereas Kiba, Xenovia and Rossweisse (the three strongest in the Occult Club with Kiba being by far the stronger of the three) only managed to cut off an arm of Sairaorg without Balance Breaker and the rest likely couldn't even scratch him. Right now, Issei is by far the strongest member of the Occult Research Club, with Kiba just behind. This has been subverted in the later volumes, as the girls begin to acquire their own methods of fighting at that level. Issei remains the strongest, but the others are no longer irrelevant.

Bathos
 High School D×D / int_96a2363c
comment
Bathos: Being part of the Ecchi Harem Genre with a Lovable Sex Maniac as our protagonist, this show is inevitably going to have this: Issei's Big Damn Heroes moment in Volume 2 to rescue Rias from her engagement to Riser is topped by "President Rias Gremory's virginity belongs to me!" In Volume 4, Issei is still outmatched by Vali in combat, so Azazel encourages a dramatic power up by informing Issei that Vali will shrink Rias's breasts, prompting our hero to beat the shit out of Vali. In Volume 6, when Issei goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge upon Asia's presumed death, Rias realizes that she will have to let Issei poke her nipples in order to save his life from his Deadly Upgrade. In Volume 10, Asia, Koneko, and Akeno strip off their clothing to provide Issei with Intimate Healing in order to cure his ten volume long Heroic BSoD resulting from being killed on his first date, and despite the nudity displayed throughout, the You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech given to Issei by his harem is never undermined. Also in Volume 10, when Issei is losing to Sairaorg, Irina leads the children in the stadium to cheer for Oppai Dragon by chanting "Oppai" repeatedly. It works. Volume 11 has Rias transfer power to Issei with her breasts, causing them to shrink, and causing them to melodramatically declare their love for each other, prompting the Occult Research Club to defend the Sickeningly Sweethearts from the Khaos Brigade.

Big Bad: There are various antagonists in the series whose are responsible for all the danger in it. Volume 1: Raynare, the fallen angel who kills Issei and Asia.

Volume 4: Katerea Leviathan, a member of the Old Satan Faction who attacks the club at the peace conference. Volume 6: Diodora Astaroth, the strange heir of the Astaroth clan who's obsessed with Asia and has been coordinating an Evil Plan to kidnap her since the very beginning, and Shalba Beelzebub, who forms a Big Bad Duumvirate with him. Volume 7: Loki, an evil Norse God. Volume 11-12 and 24: Hades. Volume 18-20: Rizevem Lucifer becomes the most powerful member of the Khaos Brigade through his leadership of the Qlippoth Faction. Volume 21: Trihexa becomes the main threat to the heroes until it's sealed.

Continuity Reboot
 High School D×D / int_979f41a
comment
Continuity Reboot: SLASH/DØG, which serves as a prequel to Datimes;D, was originally published in 2006. By 2014, it was rebooted into the version we know today and the 2006 version was formally discontinued. One particularly evil Norse god inflicts a curse on Asia before going to the past to wreak havoc on the anime's timeline with interdimensional monsters called Underworld Lifeforms, leading to the events of BorN. Fortunately, Issei's children travel back in time to capture Loki and learn how to undo the curse, with the implication being that the future Three Powers and their allies are planning to erase the BorN timeline (and any other timelines Loki has created) from existence. Unfortunately, it ends on a Sequel Hook before they can actually do so. The first episode of Hero begins with a more faithful reboot of the volume 6 finale and as such, it has no connection to the BorN continuity.

Superpower Lottery
 High School D×D / int_99779e5a

Super Power Lottery: Various from Sacred Gear to Sacred Gear. Kiba has the the ability to create swords with any special element he wants, Vali could Divide someone's power by two every ten seconds and add the subtracted amount to his own reserves, Issei could double his own power by two every ten seconds, Gasper could stop time, and then there's Cao Cao who has the True Longinus that has 7 abilities which are all utterly broken such as the ability to destroy all weapons and an Attack Reflector. Besides Sacred Gears there are people that are born into a special lineage which gives them special power exclusive to their family. Rias's family has the Power of Destruction, for example. Vali once again wins this lottery because he is the descendant of Lucifer thus he has great magic power that further boosts the power of his Sacred Gear by allowing him to feed his magic power for Juggernaut Drive which allows him to be the only person that could use this ability without drawback.

Rule 34: Hoo boy... While there's the Can't Have Sex, Ever clause the author has to follow, fans are happy to give Issei some (well-deserved) coitus. All in all, this series is very much "Rule 34-friendly". Rule 34 – Creator Reactions: Ishibumi himself seems to support D×D erotica, even jokingly stating that he's gotten enough red-lights material from his fans to write boatloads of hentai doujins, or even make actual sex scenes with Issei and his haremettes if it wasn't for the Executive Meddling.

Ravel stars in Volume 14. Reversely, volume 11-12 take a break from focusing on the girls to show off Issei. The focus of Volume 16 stars Gasper and according to the author's notes, the emperor dragons Ddraig and Albion.

Barbie Doll Anatomy: In the anime's opening the girls (most noticeably Asia) have nipples but the crotches of barbie dolls, but early in the manga even Issei lacks nipples, though in the manga the girls use Godiva Hair too.

Continuity Nod
 High School D×D / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Continuity Nod: In a meta sense, the conversation between Rias and Sona in Episode 4 of BorN, regarding a hypothetical Rating Game between them. In the light novels, the fifth volume is where said Rating game takes place - the anime, however, incorporates elements of volume seven in addition to the previous two, and this doesn't happen due to Loki's involvement in developing alternate realities, one of which is where the last four episodes of BorN takes place in. Fortunately, Hero retconned the BorN timeline out of existence.

Un-person: According to exposition during EX, when Loki and the Underworld Lifeforms wreak havoc in the past, they make sure that the Chichigami is incapable of contacting Issei in one timeline (although how they do it is unknown), preventing that particular timeline from learning about parallel dimensions. It's indicated that it eventually will be undone after Issei's children travel back in time to capture Loki, but EX ends on a Sequel Hook before it can happen.

Gag Dub
 High School D×D / int_9f240209
comment
Gag Dub: The dub adds ample slang and "guy talk" straight out of a Judd Apatow movie (albeit with only maybe 25% of the swearing). When Kiba comes to fetch sex-crazed Issei, the girls in the class object on the basis that Issei will corrupt and ruin the popular, pleasant Kiba. Issei dismisses this with "Settle down, will you? I promise not to steal his pimp juice." One gets the feeling that since most US networks wouldn't air an ecchi series if their lives depended on it, the English dubbers figured "We're going to get an R rating anyway, might as well throw in some swearing!" And not only that, Season 4 tossed in some lines that wouldn't be out of place in an Abridged Series, such as "Now I'm gonna to make you eat those feelings like a teen doing the Tide Pod challenge!"

Our Vampires Are Different
 High School D×D / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: Pure-blooded vampires have every common trait: They need to be invited before entering buildings, no reflection or shadow, sustain themselves entirely on blood, and are averse to running water, garlic, daylight, and church symbols. Their powers include transformation, hypnotism, and turning their victims into vampires (who face discrimination for not being naturally born). Dhampirs like Gasper keep most of the powers while migitating most of the weaknesses.

Xenovia has no issues siding with the devils in Rias's group in order to take out the Fallen Angels who have stolen some holy swords. The latter are helping partly because they're fighting a common enemy, but also because of Kiba's obsession with destroying holy swords, due to his Dark and Troubled Past where he was forced to take part in experiments to be able to wield them, only to then watch the other kids get killed when they were no longer useful in the experiment. As a result, the others decide they want to help him, since the end result was still getting rid of the holy swords. Fortunately, Xenovia makes a Heel–Face Turn after learning that God is Dead despite her ironic exile from the church, even having Rias transform her into a devil.

The Chosen Many: For something to be so rare, there sure are a lot of Sacred Gear users in the setting. That's not counting, according to Ichiei Ishibumi, the thirteen Longinus users, one of which is Issei's Boosted Gear. During Volume 16, Gasper's Sacred Gear reaches Longinus level, making it a fourteenth Longinus. At the end of the original run, it and four other Sacred Gears are officially reclassified as Longinus (it is noted that it's weird that so many new Longinus are appearing within a relatively short period of time).

Canon Discontinuity
 High School D×D / int_a32334b4
comment
Canon Discontinuity: Invoked by Ichiei Ishibumi when he wrote EX, which effectively retcons the last four episodes of BorN (such as Loki using his curse on Rias and Issei) out of canon into an Alternate Continuity. Given that the fourth anime season's first episode reboots the end of volume 6 before going straight into volume 9, Hero ignores the last three episodes of BorN in favor of only needing the audience to be familiar with the light novels that particular season has adapted and the first eight episodes of that season.

Adaptation Dye-Job: While Rias's eyes are turquoise in the first three anime seasons, they're colored blue in the the original light novels as well as the fourth anime season. In the original light novel, Momo Hanakai's hair is colored black. In the anime, her hair is white instead. For the second and third seasons of the anime, Vali's hair color is changed from light silver to dark silver and his eyes change from hazel to blue. In the light novel, Katerea has purple eyes. The anime, on the other hand, changes her eye color to blue-grey. In BorN, Millicas's eye color is changed to blue to match Rias's eye color. His eye color does eventually change back to red in Hero. While Loki's uniform is white in BorN, Loki wears a black version of Odin’s robes in the original light novels. Grayfia's eyes, which are red in the light novels, are changed to silver in the anime to match her hair. While Diodora had blond hair in the original light novel series, his hair is dark green in the anime. Zephyrdor's hair color was originally green in the light novels. His hair is changed to blue in the anime.

Mood Whiplash
 High School D×D / int_a4c37cbe
comment
Mood Whiplash: Pretty much how this series works. After discussing serious issues in volume 7, Azazel asks where Odin wants to go. He immediately declares that he wants to go to a breast club much to the consternation of the group. A darker variation with episode 1 of BorN. It starts off with Issei having an erotic dream of the girls topless and telling him to have at them, and he's all-too-eager to start. Then Raynare appears to cruelly mock him and Issei ends up snapping awake on the verge of tears. And then it switches back to erotic mood returns when Akeno shows up in Issei's bed naked. Volume 12 starts out depressing after what happened in the previous volume. And then, it's now at Issei's perspective of the story where the first few things that he says is that he can't even make out with Rias anymore with his current spirit form.

Healing Factor: This is the reason monsters such as Jabberwocky and Trihexa are so dangerous and difficult to deal with. They regenerate so quickly that, unless they're destroyed completely in a single blow, they just get up and attack again like nothing happened. Trihexa takes it even further. When Issei and Sirzechs are fighting an exposed core, even the power of destruction that had Hades going Bring Me My Brown Pants, fails to destroy it, as it grew back From a Single Cell in mere seconds, and Issei's new ability, an inextinguishable flame that burns until the living being struck with it has been completely obliterated is nothing more than a nuisance, as the core regenerates faster than the flame can burn it.

Also Son Wukong has been shown to utterly crush the Hero Faction which are each individually at a High Ultimate-Tier Devil level. The two strongest beings, Ophis and Great Red, are represented by Infinite and Dreams which say volumes of how strong they are.

However, she is always stopped midway by sharp headaches that emerge as a result of devils not being allowed near the presence of God. She along with Xenovia are eventually allowed to worship freely again after Issei asks Archangel Michael to give them permission post the three factions uniting in peace. Happens with Xenovia as well, even after it is revealed that the original God died in the last war.

Status Quo Is God
 High School D×D / int_a6e8221e
comment
Status Quo Is God: The uneasy truce is resolved peacefully and strengthened into an actual alliance. The enemies that oppose it are dealt with permanently, and few are allowed a second shot. The fated rivalry between the dragon emperors is broken because Issei and Vali are their own people, and treat their partners with the same respect. The characters constantly improve themselves and their abilities, removing any Drama-Preserving Handicap as soon as possible The romantic situation takes advantage of this as well, with Issei and Rias officially going out less than halfway through the series. Issei averts being an Almighty Janitor and advances to being a Mid-Class devil halfway through the original series. After the fourth arc, he's promoted further into a High-Class devil, and starts running his own peerage and Rating Games team. The only thing preventing him from being higher rank is that he still needs to acclimate himself with the responsibilities that come with his higher rank, and even then everyone acknowledges that it's only a matter of time.

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Most of the time, Issei just acts like a horny teen with nothing on his mind but boobs - his main 'ambition' is to have his own Harem, and he tends to dramatically proclaim his next 'target'... such as "sucking on Rias-sempai's breasts!" Even after he becomes a Devil, he's still just a 'pawn', he's terrible at making Pacts with mortals, and can't even use the Magic Circles to travel unaided. However... when he's forced to fight, particularly in defense of the girls he cares about, he can and will kick epic amounts of ass. And yet he continues to have little self-confidence, failing to realize how impressive he looks from the outside. In an unusual twist on this trope, however, he's actually at his most badass when the two sides of his personality are in balance, since he can literally draw destructive power from his lust.

Gasper is very uncomfortable bathing with Issei and Kiba and keeps his Modesty Towel on the whole time. Issei calls him out on how unmanly it is, especially since Gasper wears the towel wrapped around his torso like a girl.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Diodora's plan involves having Raynare kill Asia Argento, but it ends up backfiring on him when Issei rescues her and proves to be a more formidable opponent for stopping his later plans. And him using Ophis's snake against Seekvaira Agares caused Azazel and Sirzechs to throw a monkey wrench in the Khaos Brigade's plans. Sure, Kokabiel telling the Occult Research Club that God is Dead was a shocker, but it does end up contributing to Xenovia and Irina joining the club in the long run. It's also the catalyst for Azazel to set up a peace treaty between the Three Factions, kill Katerea during the Khaos Brigade's assault on Kuoh Academy, and help form an alliance in the volume 4 finale. Despite needing Yasaka for the ritual to summon Great Red, Cao Cao invites Issei, his friends and Kunou to Nijo Castle just so they can witness the Hero Faction's efforts. This results in Issei and Sun Wukong coming together to foil Cao Cao's plan. Cao Cao replacing his old eye with Medusa's eye comes back to haunt him as it gives Issei a major weakness to exploit. Sairaorg concludes that Gasper's training with Grigori has brought his Forbidden Balor View to the point where he only needs an emotional push to hit his Balance Breaker. Georg ends up providing this push by taunting him about Issei's death. Rizevim's destruction of the Carmilla and Tepes territories causes the vampires to put aside their racism for better or worse and contributes to Elmenhilde joining Issei's team. Also, his kidnapping of Issei's parents and makes Issei transform into a Dragon in front of them, hoping to emotionally break Issei by having his parents reject him. Instead, they support him until Diehauser is demoralized and Issei gets a new power-up. Issei even thanks him for getting the issue of revealing his identity over with.

Oh, Crap!
 High School D×D / int_ad1db87c
comment
Oh, Crap!: Issei when he realizes how insane and dangerous Raynare really is before he's murdered. Miki is understandably shocked when she first sees Issei together with a naked Rias in bed. Raynare's mooks when they realize that taunting Rias's servants to her face is a bad idea. Raynare has one when she is curb-stomped by Issei and later realizing Rias is about to kill her. Kiba when Issei first fired his Dragon Shot on him when they were training. He made it. His wooden sword? Not so much. In the finale of Volume 2, Riser is utterly shocked when Issei burns his face and when Issei is about to deliver the final blow. Ravel also shares this reaction when that happens. Katerea has one when she is about to be Impaled with Extreme Prejudice by Azazel. Kuroka has a moment of terror when her attacks No-Sell Issei's newly-attained (and perfected) Balance Breaker. Irina is utterly shocked when she sees Issei groping both Xenovia and Asia. Bikou whenever the original Son Wukong is mentioned. Given what we know about him when he made an appearance, Bikou may have a point. In volume 6, Diodora has a moment of absolute horror when Issei defeats him and when Shalba is about to kill him for his failure. Shalba himself gets one when Issei decides he's finally had enough and activates Juggernaut Drive. Loki after feeling the power of the blessings of the Breast God, which also unlocks the full abilities of the Mjölnir replica. Issei is mortified to discover Kunou attacking him when he first visits Kyoto. When battling with Rossweisse outside of the girls' locker room in Kyoto, Rossweisse gets utterly shocked when Issei unwittingly brings up her lack of boyfriend, which is her Berserk Button. Then, she gets a Delayed "Oh, Crap!" after being subjected to his Dress Break. Cao Cao gets mortified after seeing Rias get summoned instead of Great Red. Siegfried freaks out when realizing that Rias' breasts are the breasts of miracles if combined with Issei's powers. Heracles has a moment of terror as soon as he finds out that Sairaorg didn't even have a scratch when he used his Sacred Gear at full power. A comedic example in Volume 10 when Odin encounters Rossweisse, who is royally pissed off at him for abandoning her after the fight with Loki, and only further enraged upon seeing that he'd replaced her with another Valkyrie. Azazel when he realizes he's getting ganged up by the group for starting the mess of the Issei clones. A more serious one happens when he finds out that Rizevim is now the leader of the Khaos Brigade's remnants. Georg is horrified as soon as he realizes that taunting Gasper that Issei died in vain wasn't really a good idea. Ruma Ydura when he finds out that future Issei has ripped off Rezwo Roado's arm. Marius realizes his fate the moment Gasper transforms into his Balor form. Elmenhilde has a moment of terror after Rizevim launches an assault on her homeland. Rizevim gets one in volume 20 when he's defeated by Issei and Vali. Then he has another one after realizing that he's about to be Eaten Alive by Fafnir. Vali when he realizes that Rizevim has put up a back-up plan to unseal Trihexa.

All for Nothing: Kokabiel's attempt to start another Great War fails: the three of the seven Excaliburs he stole are retrieved and sent back to Rome; Kokabiel's plot to kill the Gremory family have been foiled; and on top of that, he ends up being overpowered by Vali and captured by Azazel to be frozen in Cocytus. The Khaos Brigade's efforts to take over the Underworld and plan to kill Great Red go up in smoke: Katerea is killed by Azazel after her attempts to foil a peace treaty between the Three Factions fail; Creuserey is killed by Sirzechs and Azazel while trying to avenge Katerea; Shalba is overpowered by Issei; the Hero Faction's attempt to transform Yasaka into the Nine-Tailed Fox and summon Great Red are foiled thanks to Sun Wukong and Yu-Long teaming up with Issei to beat them in Kyoto; Shalba's attempt to exact revenge on the Devils leads to his death; and the Old Satan Faction is dissolved after their leaders' deaths.

Ms. Fanservice: Rias and Akeno have Boobs of Steel, are considered the 2 idols of school, and are incredibly beautiful Shameless Fanservice Girls. Rias is willing to be naked in front of her servants, especially towards Issei. While Issei was freaking out and his mother seemed stunned, her response when she walked in on them naked in bed was a polite "good morning" without even trying to cover herself up. About Akeno, Female Fallen Angels are renowned for having very seductive bodies and her naturally sexy disposition, plus having the largest breast size in the series so far, only enhances this fact. Azazel himself states that Akeno is seductive even for a Fallen Angel. The other major girls in the Issei harem (as Asia and Xenovia) are hovering between to being a sort of Innocent Fanservice Girl who doesn't realize there's a problem with getting naked in a particular situation and a Shameless Fanservice Girl who fully comprehends what she's doing but does it anyway to achieve her goals.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Subverted with Issei. Issei gets his wish to get a girlfriend when Raynare asks him out. Unfortunately, he gets more than what he bargains for when Raynare kills him. Then, Rias shows up and becomes his first real girlfriend. Azazel has Raynare kill Issei due to the thread of the latter's Sacred Gear. Naturally, this comes back to haunt them both when Issei gets transformed into a devil and later awakens his Sacred Gear.

Loophole Abuse: In the rating game against Riser, Rias's team does fairly well against his despite having fewer pieces/characters. Then when Issei reaches Riser, he refuses to stay down despite receiving a Curb-Stomp Battle from the latter and barely having the energy to stand. Riser then mentions that he wants to kill Issei, and that if he should happen to die during a rating game, it would be seen as an accident, rather than murder. Rias is also aware of this, and surrenders herself in order to save Issei.

Too Dumb to Live: The Two Heavenly Dragons (Ddraig and Albion), who decided during the great war to fight God, Satan and the leader of the Fallen Angels. They were quickly dismembered and the Sacred Gears - Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing - are what's left of them stored. It should be noted that in the last example it was implied that the process of sealing the two dragons took everything the Three Factions had, may have contributed to the death of God, and left the warring sides too exhausted and spent to continue their war.

Volume 5 has Koneko develop feelings for Issei after he saves her from Kuroka.

Inverted for the anime, where Ravel Phenex is depicted with smaller-than-expected breasts, apparently to make her look more like the "little sister" niche she was actively filling (long story).

Deader than Dead: Devils and Fallen Angels can vanish forever whenever they get hit by a powerful attack. Raynare is atomized by Rias's Power of Destruction. Azazel runs through Katerea with his light spear and causes her to disintegrate. Sirzechs uses his Power of Destruction to turn Creuserey into dust. Diodora gets run through by Shalba's light spear and is vaporized. Shalba gets killed permanently by Issei's final attack in volume 11. Yaegaki disappears forever when Rizevim kills him to get Issei's goat.

Really Gets Around
 High School D×D / int_bf1255fa
comment
Really Gets Around: Issei wants to, Riser already has, and finally Issei's mentor Azazel had 1000s (harems, not women). In one of the light novels, Rias' mother implies that this is the default state for all male near-immortals, directly invoking Power is Sexy (although, interestingly, she states that Sirzechs does not do this specifically because of his position). The Immortal Procreation Clause is presumably also an influence. Akeno makes matter-of-fact references to "numbered" wives, stating that Rias will be "legal wife" and Asia will be "second," and she herself will be "third position," as if it's the most natural thing in the world, although Issei has no idea what she's talking about (and she claims that it does have a "feeling" of unfaithfulness). Issei having 10 kids in the future may seem like a lot to someone raised in a culture shaped by stable population growth, but considering that the devils periodically have to bolster their ranks with reincarnated humans, it really isn't.

comment
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The Khaos Brigade, in general, is this. Ophis may be the overall leader, however the three main groups have different agendas. Vali's group is the closest one who wants to fulfill Ophis' wish to kick out Great Red from the dimension gap only because Vali wants to fight the strongest being. The Old Satan Faction only uses Ophis to regain Hell and wage another Forever War to prove that the devils are the strongest. The Hero Faction just wants to wipe out all the mythologies and prove that they're heroes.

comment
Issei is powered by a combination of lust and genuine love/care for his friends. However, in a slightly surprising twist, him calling on the power of love is generally a horrific, bloody, and all around terrifying experience. Asia's apparent murder by Shalba triggered Juggernaut Drive, which nearly caused him to kill all his friends. Ravel's kidnapping meant he no longer cared what happened to Mooks in his way. His parents being taken nearly drove him insane with rage. In short, the Power of Love is invoked when the object of love is threatened, and used to ensure whatever threat existed ceases to do so immediately.

Hard Work Hardly Works
 High School D×D / int_cc427069
comment
Hard Work Hardly Works: Subverted. Issei is mentioned constantly to be talentless and no good at anything at all. He goes through Training from Hell constantly to improve himself and in the end it worked. He turned out to be the strongest out of the Occult Club which consisted of some of the most talented individuals and some of them even had special lineages such as the the sister of the current Satan and the daughter of a leader of the Fallen Angel faction. He even eventually matched up to Vali who had the lineage of the original Satan to back himself up. The author himself mentioned that this is a series where hard work pays off and it shows. Azazel even thinks of Issei as a sponge who can absorb anything. Same thing with Sairaorg who also subverts this trope because any devil who fights off against him and loses, they don't have what it takes to bounce back since their powers don't work on someone who's just using his body as a weapon.

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Issei's fight against Riser. He sacrifices his left arm in order to obtain some powers from his Sacred Gear. But more importantly, since it's no longer technically his arm, he is able to hold the cross and utilize holy water against the otherwise undefeatable Riser without the usual repercussion of a devil holding holy items and taking damage.

Unprovoked Pervert Payback: Despite numerous amounts of Fanservice, this show averts it. Hell, even Issei expected that Rias was going to hit him when she caught Koneko and him naked. Turns out, Rias just examined Koneko and stated that she needed a doctor. He also thought Koneko was gonna launch him when he accidently bumped into her during their swimming lessons. She ended up just thanking him for helping her with a Luminescent Blush on her cheeks and averted eyes.

Adaptational Wimp: While Fenrir’s still touted as powerful enough to bite Gods to death in the anime, the protagonists have a much easier time beating him into submission. In a sense with Thanatos. The mythical Thanatos was a Protogenoi, the son of Nyx and Erebus and the personification of Death, thus feared by all mortal beings. In the story, he's pretty much reduced to your regular Grim Reaper, with all the things that it entails in-universe.

Action Girl: So far, almost all female devils (except Asia) are pretty good at ass-kicking anyone with either physical or magical attacks. Crosses over with Damsel in Distress much of the time, though, with Defeat by Modesty a major plot point.

Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

comment
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: All the different mythologies are in this series, and the only thing that's keeping them from waging war with each other is that The Alliance (devils, fallen angels, and angels) wants to make peace with other mythologies. According to Sakra Indra, the other mythologies may be cooperating on the surface, but deep down they want to destroy the other mythologies.

Everyone Can See It: It is so painfully obvious that Rias likes Issei that her father even acknowledges him as his future son-in-law, much to her embarrassment. The same thing applies for Akeno later on, and any savvy reader can notice Asia's liking of Issei from the first chapters after she's introduced.

comment
Chekhov's Gunman: Quite a few in this series that were mentioned at best make an appearance: At the end of Volume 1 Rias alludes to her having already used her first bishop piece. The boy she used it on, Gasper Vladi, returns to become a part of the club in Volume 4. Back in volume 1, Asia's past reveals that she healed a devil and that she was exiled from the church. Five volumes later, that same devil reappears in front of Asia and turns out he planned the entire thing because he wanted to break down Asia. Volume 4 has Akeno alluding that she's a half-Fallen Angel half-devil and that she's unwilling to forgive her father Baraqiel for not being able to save her mother Shuri. Three volumes later, he makes an appearance and they finally get to resolve their issues too. Volume 10 has a boy who couldn't make it into the autograph event, but Issei is able to sign an autograph for him backstage and tell him to not cry at all. At the climax of his and Sairaorg's match, that same kid encourages the other kids that Oppai Dragon will never give up, thus kids reaching out to him to keep him from giving into Juggernaut Drive.

Issei and Kiba vs Xenovia and Irina. The latter two win rather easily, largely due to faults the former two had, such as Kiba attempting to use a big, heavy sword which negated his speed advantage, and in Issei's case, Koneko warning Irina about his Dress Break ability ahead of time.

Clothing Damage: This happens a lot in the series. When Issei first gets his powers in the anime, the Fallen Angel that's attacking him, Kalawarner, gets what little clothes she's wearing blown off. In Episodes 4 and 5, as Asia's Sacred Gear is stolen, her top breaks apart. This remains consistent throughout her death scene in the following episode. Issei's "ultimate move" that Asia helps him practise at the training camp is Dress Break, a move that completely destroys his enemies' clothing, which outright got banned in Rating Games after the first game was over. In Episode 10, when Koneko gets hit by one of Riser's traps, her already torn-apart outfit is completely destroyed.

A-Cup Angst: Koneko. It even becomes a plot point in the first OVA: a demon creates a plant that gives girls big breasts. Issei, being the pervert that he is, actually tries standing up for the monster, thinking that maybe big breasts aren't all bad. Koneko, on the other hand, has a huge Battle Aura, and has a gigantic tree trunk over her head, ready to take that thing out.

Clingy Jealous Girl: Rias is like unto Belldandy with how jealous she gets over other girls wanting Issei around. She's perfectly diplomatic about most things except any deals involving Issei. Then, she'll glomp him into Marshmallow Hell just to show whoever is asking that he's hers and hers alone. Asia shows signs of it in volume 3, Rias as well. Then...Xenovia, Akeno, Irina, and Koneko just slightly. The "clingy" part gets turned up to eleven in volume 14, and it is adorable. To give some context to the above, the girls are acting extremely clingy towards Issei because he freaking died and they are understandably reluctant to let him out of their sight. Issei mentions this to Kiba, who (politely) tells him to shut up and let them do what they want.

Can't Have Sex, Ever: Deliberately enforced by Fujimi Shobo; otherwise, we can pretty safely assume this series would've gone in a whole other direction. Many fans are eager to circumvent this. An in-universe example with Koneko. As a Nekoshou, Koneko can bear children even at her age. If she did, both she and the child would likely die. Issei tells her they should wait, and she agrees.

Foreign Fanservice: Slightly over a minute into the series the presence of overseas students is stated to be one of the great things about the school. When Rias is introduced, it's mentioned that she is rumoured to be Scandinavian and after the Bedmate Reveal in volume 1, Miki specifically tells Gorou her son's in bed with a foreign girl.

A Truce While We Gawk: In volume 7 while an epic battle is going on, Issei somehow summons a breast god (yes, there is apparently one in the universe). When he announces this, everyone on both sides stops fighting and starts staring at him as if he's done something stupidly crazy again...

Distracted by the Sexy: In episode 2, Rias attempts a demonstration of Issei's powers, and tells him to raise his left hand and concentrate. Unfortunately, she's sitting right in front of him, and higher up, so he's able to see up her skirt, and can't concentrate properly. He even points it out in his thoughts.

Would Hit a Girl
 High School D×D / int_f42f96fa
comment
Would Hit a Girl: Pretty much almost every male in this series has no problems fighting against women at all. That said, Issei is still punished quite often for his perversions, usually by Koneko. It still manages to sidestep the Unprovoked Pervert Payback trope since Koneko does only lash out when provoked, and Issei takes the blow because he can be a sport when he knows he deserves it.

Earn Your Happy Ending: At the end of the first arc, despite going through a Heroic BSoD and being betrayed by Raynare, Issei finally gets Rias as his girlfriend and he becomes friends with Asia. By the end of volume 4, the Angels, Fallen Angels and Devils held a successful peace conference and end up forming The Alliance, ushering in a new era of peace. Towards the end of volume 10, Issei finally snaps out of his Heroic BSoD he suffered from Raynare's betrayal thanks to his friends, and he and Rias profess their love for each other following their Rating Game against Sairaorg.

Insult Backfire: When Issei tells his friends that he'll have to cancel his summer plans with them because he's going somewhere with the Occult Research Club, his friends tell him to "go to hell!" But he proves that insult "correct" when Hell is exactly where they're spending their summer vacation, since the club primarily consists of devils.

Love Makes You Evil: Or in this case, "Love Makes You Turn Into a Fallen Angel." Azazel explains that the first fallen angels became so was because they made out with a human being. Irina almost gets turned into a fallen angel twice. Then volume 19 reveals that they were many other offscreen moments where Irina was in danger of falling.

Gondor Calls for Aid: When Hell gets invaded by Hades and the Khaos Brigade, the leaders try to convince the other members of The Alliance to help them. While they would, seeing as there's someone who wields the most powerful Longinus that could kill them, it made things harder for them to move. They then send their armies instead to deal with the threat.

Dark and Troubled Past: Everyone in Rias's group except Issei has this. Rias is the head of her household since her brother became the de facto ruler of hell, Kiba was a survivor of an illegal church experiment in which only he survived because of Rias, Koneko was saved from death after her sister killed her master, Akeno is a half-Fallen Angel due to Baraqiel being one and Shuri a human. Her mother was killed by her father's enemies. Asia has the ability to heal anything, at first the church thought it was a blessing until they found her she could also heal devils, after which they branded her a witch. Issei proclaims that he has one in Volume 8. It's actually pretty funny. Even Issei's parents aren't immune. Miki suffered two miscarriages before Issei was born. It puts a new perspective on all their hopes and dreams on Issei and their doting nature towards Asia.

 High School D×D / int_ff5a74c8
comment
Talking Is a Free Action: When Issei first uses Balance Breaker, Ddraig warns him that it's only good for 10 seconds because Issei can't handle the stress of Boosted Gear. Yet, when he's fighting and talking against Riser, their conversation lasts for a few minutes while Ddraig is counting the number of seconds till Balance Breaker is up. The anime fixes this, mostly by having Ddraig say he'll "count to ten" without actually specifying seconds. His count during the action is slower than seconds, but consistent, and the talk between Issei and Riser is much snappier.
