Hey Chaos, First off, please don't take this as hate or me being offensive - the story is still absolutely goated. I did want to bring up something I've noticed though, and I hope you don't mind. I feel like we rarely get to go in-depth with the Crown Princesses, their servants, and Tiamat when they are in proximity to someone _stronger_ than them. The only real example I can think of is Chapter 64, where you went into Ichigo's internal perspective when he was in front of Ophis. We actually got to see his disbelief and insight at being scared by someone since its been so long that he was before someonehe couldn'teasily kill. But almost every other time, we only get 1-3 sentences, like: - When Ichigo and Sirzechs sensed Albion inside Vali - just a short sentence. - When Ophis easily tore Sirzechs' Onslaught to shreds - we virtually got nothing from Sirzechs view. - When Ichigo talked with Ddraig - 2-3 sentences on how he felt . - Whenever the Satans talk about the Divine Dragons - maybe 2 sentences at most. - When Tiamat told Grayfia that Great Red had emerged - just 2 quick sentences and that its. - Even when Tiamat roared at an avatar of Ophis and still, nothing. This wouldn't really stand out as an issue if it wasn't for how different it is when they face someone _weaker_ than them. For example, with Valen Eligos, we got a whole paragraph on his despair in front of Ichigo, or multiple paragraphs of Tiamat's inner thoughts as she tore Kokabiel's army apart and sensed their despair, or Shemhazi, Baraqiel and Gremory's view of ichigo during malboge. With the Satans, we almost never get to see their internal perspectives when the situation is reversed. We rarely see how they plan or act when dealing with someone stronger, which is a shame because their personalities are so much more different and interesting than in canon. Same goes for the servants like Grayfia, Sylvania, Meril, etc. - we don't really get to see how they react when the Satans are no longer the strongest beings in the room snd how these characters cope. Again, it's your story and you write it however you want. This is just a small thing I've been thinking about. Sorry for the mini-rant, and thanks for all the amazing work so far. It's still best dxd and I'll stick with it to the end.

Admittedly, I'm confused. Are you asking me why the Satans aren't in direct confrontation with beings more powerful then them and are scared and depair?

Imvaernarhro

No,im more pointing out how in confrontations/conversations about beings more powerful more time then them, more often then not its quickly brushed off, let me make some examples, when tiamat mentions great red is back to Grayfia, we 2 short simple sentences and that's it-we don't get Grayfia's inner thoughts or perspective at the news that both the divine dragons are back, or when ophis easily tore Sirzechs Onslaught apart, we don't see Sirzechs reaction or thoughts at how ophis randomly appears outta the blue then easily negate his attacks, or when ichigo meet Ddraig face to face - Ichigo is kinda casual about despite it being the "First" time he was in the presence of someone so strong, when tiamat roars at ophis we don't see her thoughts at the fact ophis just appeared and looking at her AND Millicas and what thoughts she had in the situation

Ficticious Chaos

When you say I didn't write Grayfia's inner thoughts on the Divine Pair or Sirzechs being rebuffed by Ophis, what would you have perfered me written? What thoughts and emotions? Did you want to see Sirzechs feel fear? Or the dread that he was fighting someone beyond even his ability and that he could die at that moment? What would you have preferred?

Imvaernarhro

Less me prefers but nore for us readers to know what are their thoughts, like when Grayfia heard great red is back alongside ophis-is she concerned? worried? Angry ? Annoyed? At what could happen to the devil empire or her family since ophis and great red are not something the sins could simply kill and need to figure other solutions to the problem,or for Sirzechs when ophis appeared I'm more like what was he's thoughts at it like was he shocked at how ophis just appeared and tore his Onslaught apart? Was he angry at how ophis blocked his path from attacking Tsukiyomi? Was Sirzechs strategizing on what to do with ophis bring more active with khaos Brigade then he anticipated? Was Sirzechs amazed at ophis display of power? Something like ichigo when he met ophis- yes he had dread and fear- but that didn't stop him from feeling fury and annoyance at ophis for all her machinations and only once he comprehend out his league ophis was did he switched to true despair

I just remembered a question I wanted to ask, is Ddraig ever gonna bring up Belzard and Elsha to issei?
