But Ishibumi-sensei also punctures the tension by tossing in the silly ecchi, as with here when Asia and the others bring up Issei’s oppai-based power ups. It’s got a bunch of that hot-blooded, meaningful, pleasantly punchy style of action that shows that, yes, the action actually is important, and yes, there’s thought that goes into the shounen power curve and all that. Speaking of the DxD way, the brawl with Sairaorg ( Nakamura Yuuichi) is vintage DxD. It doesn’t make sense, but at least it doesn’t make sense in a very DxD way. It’s remarkable, but it works, at least if you’ve bought into it up to this point. Friends are different than your lover! But he can’t picture himself in such a role, despite him clearly already being there. (Way to go giving Issei some food for thought, shounen.) Or take the end, where he talks about Rias still having Koneko and Gasper when he’s gone-which, yeah, but he’s totally missing the point. SO THIRSTY! But it also shows glimpses of Issei’s self-esteem issues, like with the reminder that Issei has still never called Rias by her first name. This one is pushing the boundaries of credibility on the girls not ripping Issei’s clothes off and banging him, because they thirsty for the boy. Some conversation went on in the comments last week about whether High School DxD should go full-on ecchi like other recent magical-fantasy-action-harem-ecchi anime, and I think this episode is a good example of how DxD’s ecchi works, and why.
