Can I ask you some questions?
Not Issei.
I'm talking to you, Welsh Dragon.
When you hear the voice in your heart
You can be reborn infinite times "NEW -> BORN"
"High School DxD BorN"
I can't hide it any longer
Salvation and ache, a mirror's PARADOX
I realized once I faced myself
The soul must be where my dream rests upon
The moment I met you and touched you, your tears spilled on my hand
Because their heat melted into my heart, our feelings could connect
"DEAR" x "DEAR" wait for me!
I make choices within this despair
Not because of blessings, but definite FEELING!
Until I reach deep into your heart
I'll call as many times as it takes, "YOUR NAME"
"Episode 10: The Occult Club Disappears?!"
I see. He's still...
Yes, he's still in a coma.
His body and demonic power are recovering at a good speed, but...
It seems his injuries are pretty bad deep inside.
Deep inside?
A lot happened to him.
It looks like we'll just have to wait it out.
Issei went through so much to save me.
Asia, it's not your fault.
That's right. The Chaos Brigade is to blame!
Yes.
Oh. That's right, Asia.
Yes?
You haven't tried it yet, right?
I'm talking about the results of your training.
Huh?
Because of the incomplete transformation,
it seems the dragon inside of Issei is malfunctioning.
I was told the fact his left arm is still in dragon form is the proof.
Who told you something like that?
Asia's Sacred Gear might be able to solve the problem.
Might? Will Asia be in danger?
That, I don't know.
No way!
It's just a possibility.
Please, let me try.
Asia...
Issei said he'd protect his family and saved me!
That's why I want to save Issei as well, Big Sister Rias!
I'll leave it to you, Asia.
Your training was to heal people at a distance.
This time it isn't distance, but depth.
Depth...
You need to heal the injury deep inside of Issei's heart.
Is it okay to leave Asia alone?
If she focuses all her energy, it'll become a powerful force.
We don't know how it will affect the area around her.
Are you okay with this, Rias?
I trust my sister Asia.
That is also one of my duties.
Issei. My treasured person.
You have always been beside me.
You always cheered me up.
You always protected me.
Issei. This might be a chance God gave me,
a way to finally do something for you.
Please!
Please open your eyes, Issei!
Huh? It's rare only waking up to Asia.
Wait, what's going on? Why are your clothes like that?!
Issei.
Thank goodness...
Issei!
H-Hey.
Thank goodness. I'm so glad!
So you healed me. I see.
Thank you, Asia.
No, I was just so desperate.
W-Well! Let's go. Everyone is waiting for you.
Yeah. I caused a lot of trouble for everyone.
Issei.
Hm?
Issei. I love you.
I'll always be by your side.
My, my.
So passionate.
U-Um, President! This is...
Looks like we lost to Asia, today.
Yes, you're right.
Oh, but Asia! I'm really thankful for what you did today!
Oh, no! There's no need to thank me!
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Everyone! Now that Issei has gotten better, let's eat.
Yes, President!
It seems the Old Satan Faction of the Chaos Brigade has fallen apart.
Vali didn't think of them as comrades to begin with.
Great Red.
Orphis wants to kick him out of the Dimensional Gap.
So their interests lined up.
Right now, the lines between the worlds are stable
because Great Red rules the Dimensional Gap.
If something like that were to happen...
Who knows what would happen to the entire world.
We have to stop that from happening at all costs.
He probably appeared because of Loki's failed attempt
to destroy time and space created a small fissure between the worlds...
That is what Ajuka believes.
Loki, huh? He's troublesome to the very end.
That damned Ouroboros. She did something unnecessary.
However...
What is this?
There are still things that can be done.
Feel this down to your very bones, Red Dragon Emperor.
Ruin Princess, you as well.
We're finally back home!
But, to think I slept for three days...
I feel bad that everyone missed school because of me.
I told the school we were overseas for a practice match,
so I'll just say we couldn't return due to the weather.
That's such a forceful excuse.
Before that, what kind of occult club has practice matches?
Putting school aside...
So mean. Lord Odin is so mean.
I thought he came to pick me up, but then he suddenly sent me out to battle.
Even though I worked so hard!
He left me behind again!
There were a lot of things to deal with after that, so...
--I'm sure he'll come to pick you up again.
--No!
If I, his bodyguard, go home after our great Father returns...
They'll yell, "What kind of nerve do you have returning after Lord Odin?"
--Um...
--And I'll probably get demoted!
This is corporate downsizing!
--I felt bad leaving her behind in the underworld,
--I was laid off!
--so I took her back with us...
--I'm just a woman who can't do her job!
--Jeez. That old man is really irresponsible.
--A virgin!
--He should just come and pick her up already.
--My age equals the number of years I've been alone!
--Well, it's fine.
--If that's the case, I have an idea.
An idea?
It's a secret.
--Asia, is your body doing okay?
--Now, please cheer up.
I'm so happy that Issei got better because of Asia.
But for a second...
...Why?
One-two! One-two! One-two! One-two!
All right, we look pretty good!
Let's take a short break.
Y-Yes.
Hey!
But, this kind of peace is really nice...
Um, Teacher?
Actually...
I talked to the one inside of you while you were unconscious.
Inside of me? With Ddraig?!
Yeah.
What does the Governor-General of Fallen Angels want to ask?
I wanted to ask about the power Issei released at the very end.
He invoked the Juggernaut Drive sealed inside of him.
It's the forbidden skill that forcefully releases all the power sealed
within a sacred treasure.
If invoked,
the user will temporarily have power that even surpasses the gods.
But in exchange,
they lose their life or shorten their lifespan drastically.
Teacher! Please don't tell that to Asia, no matter what!
I'm wondering why something that dangerous was invoked.
It was invoked because my partner's despair and anger
surpassed their very limits, however...
Something was controlling my partner's feelings at the time.
Though I am not sure what exactly.
Even if you ask me that...
So you have no idea what it could have been?
No. Nothing in particular.
Then, that's fine.
Teacher.
Don't worry about it too much.
Rias said that I don't have to worry,
but I cannot allow myself to be a freeloader.
I have to clean, at the very least.
From Valhalla?
Yes, he finally came to pick me up!
Huh?
It's almost time for Koneko to come. Ugh.
Oh! Issei!
Oh, President!
Oh, Issei?
Did you finish practicing for the school festival?
Yes. I came to pick up my school bag.
Oh, so it's already that time?
What are you doing here, President?
Nothing much.
Are you worried about something?
I have no worries.
Well. That's good, but...
Sometimes, you look like you're feeling depressed.
Oh. I'm sorry. I said something weird.
No. Thank you for worrying about me.
I'm fine.
I may not be of any use in this situation, but...
President. You're forcing yourself a little, aren't you?
Huh?!
I know.
Even if it means lying to yourself, you always try so hard.
Issei?!
You don't need to think about anything.
That's right, I understand everything about you.
One-two. One-two. One-two.
Looks like our rhythm has synced up pretty well!
Yes. This is all thanks to you, Issei!
All right. Let's increase the speed a little more.
Oh.
What's wrong?
I left our stopwatch in the club room.
Sorry. I'm going to grab it really quick.
Koneko!
Issei.
I came to pick up Gaspie so he can practice for the bread eating race.
That guy is going to do the bread eating race?
--Gasper!
--Gaspie!
What happened?!
Issei.
Oh, thank goodness. The real one.
What are you talking about?
Issei!
Me? What's going on?
You bastard...
What are you trying to pull,
--looking like me?!
--It's dangerous, Issei!
President?
This power signature!
President! Get a hold of yourself!
That isn't me!
President.
No way.
I didn't make it in time?!
An explosion?
But there isn't anything explosive inside the old school house!
It is dangerous. Please stay back!
Issei, what happened?!
We still do not know the details.
Gasper stopped time right before the explosion
and pulled these two to safety.
Thank you, Gaspie.
Good job!
I can't believe something like this could happen on our school grounds.
Where is Rias?
Shit!
Teacher!
Valhalla sent over an emergency message to Rossweisse.
Loki did this.
What did you say?!
A fake Issei?
It's true. I saw him as well.
He practically had the same aura as Issei, too.
Same?
If the real Issei wasn't in front of me,
I probably wouldn't have noticed the difference.
Are you sure that Loki is behind this?
It seems the man himself said so.
You placed a curse on Princess Rias and the Red Dragon Emperor?
I failed with the Red Dragon Emperor due to an interference.
But, then I was able to think of a different plan.
And so, I thought I would report in to our great Father.
You've fallen, Loki.
You attack the weak because you are no match for Sir Zechs or me?
Don't underestimate me, Odin.
Why would a god like myself need to get revenge on a few young devils?
So your motive lies elsewhere?
It's already too late.
The twilight of the gods is fast approaching.
The reason those two received my curse was because the great devil
sent his own little sister to battle while you placed your hope
and Mjolnir into the hands of that young devil.
I hope you grieve deeply over your own decisions!
Loki!
After he spoke, he placed a seal over himself.
How cowardly!
This is a lot more effective than just defeating an enemy.
I suffered a long time myself.
Wh-What is Loki's motive for doing all of this?
Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods.
He wants to destroy this world.
Um, where is Issei?
Rossweisse is speaking with him.
Curse?
Yes.
It seems he placed curses on you and Rias right before his capture.
What do you mean by that?
Curses attack and eat away at a person's heart.
Somewhere deep within your heart...
Perhaps something you didn't even realize yourself.
Loki used those feelings deep inside against you.
Can you think of something?
I'm probably scared.
That's right.
I'm scared about finding out what girls really feel about me.
It's not that I doubt them.
But, I'm scared.
You don't have to force yourself to speak about it.
I'm sorry.
No, I should apologize as well.
I was ordered to confirm Loki's words.
Then, you're saying the president has some doubt in her heart like me?
You will have to ask her directly about that.
No, it may be so deep within that she doesn't even realize it herself.
With her crimson hair and dignified stature,
is there something dark within the heart of the person I admire?
President Rias.
Are you all right, Sir Zechs?
I am the great devil, Lucifer, before all else.
I will do what I must as a great devil.
You're forcing yourself.
According to Asgard, it will take time to remove Loki's seal.
At the very least, if we could find out Rias' location from him...
It seems she is in the Dimensional Gap.
Dimensional Gap?
The place Asia was sent?
I have searched in various ways and it is the only place possible.
Then, we'll be able to save the president if we go there?
There is no way to search the Dimensional Gap systematically.
If Vali didn't happen to pass by at the right moment,
we would have never found Asia either.
In other words, entering the Dimensional Gap means "death."
Then, how can those people enter it?
Chaos Brigade is a gathering of various people.
I'm sure they are using a method we do not know.
This is a guess, but I believe it is possible
by locking the existence of this world and using it as a base.
Koneko.
I want to get a hold of your sister.
With Big Sister Kuroka?
I'll go see Vali.
Right, pretty much everything
I think you know already
But you know the heart
Isn't all-knowing
Only the important things fail to connect
In the end, analog is the way to go
That's why right now
I want you to give it a proper shape!
Your teasing VOICE
Give me! Let me hear it
Just a little bit is fine
I don't want ambiguity, I vote no secrets!
DO YOU DO YOU KNOW?
Give me your answer
I'm not scared at all
I can't say it, but you know, right?
Please understand
TELL ME HEART
Because what changes everything
GIVE ME WORD
Is always you
"Next Episode: High School DxD BorN"
The ones involved with the red or white dragon
have never had a good life.
Don't you believe this to be destiny as well?
Who cares! Even if a destiny like that exists, I'll change it!
"Episode 11: I Will Fight!"
Rias! Is that you?!
