* BaseBreaker: If there's one thing fans really can't agree on, it's the Gremory-Sitri [[TournamentArc Rating Game.]] Was it thoroughly justified that the Gremory team had a limiter working against them, thus giving them a real wake up call that just powering through everything isn't really all there is to it, or was it unfair to the Gremory team that they had a limiter on them when they couldn't show off what they could do now after their training? Or you're probably on the third faction and thought that the limiter made the Sitri team look weak, never mind Souna [[TheChessmaster being able to adapt things on the fly]] [[SarcasmMode because only the protagonist has the right to be a]] CombatPragmatist [[SarcasmMode right?]] Part of the problem really is because Issei, the protagonist himself, gets taken out ''halfway through the game because of said limiter imposed'' when most series would have the protagonist be present all the way to the end.

* ToughActToFollow: Not the show itself, but the show-stopping pole-dance ending-song sequence ''Study X Study'' from Season 1, with its [[EarWorm energetic and upbeat song]] and astoundingly fluid and well-designed animation (all animated by one man, mind you) set ''such'' a high standard (and became a Cult-Favourite amongst fans) that the second/third ending sequence from Season 2 simply couldnt top it, and hence the crew didn't even try.

Natter~~~ Here\'s a really good example though.


* FunnyAneurysmMoment : Anyone but me finds it hard to enjoy manga and anime, since they take place before reveal about Issei still having deep trauma from being killed by Raynare? Every single "Issei is jerk! He cannot understand girls! *Punch*!", makes me wanna scream: "You are abusing traumatized kid! Aren't you little bit suprised why he doesn't notice you affection!?". Sadly, even later novels brushed that off. He still wont have sex with them, but now that he's supposedly better there is no excuse other than "publishers said so".

* FunnyAneurysmMoment : Anyone but me finds it hard to enjoy manga and anime, since they take place before reveal An in-universe example. One of the short stories of the series was about the Issei still having deep trauma from being killed by Raynare? Every single "Issei is jerk! He cannot understand girls! *Punch*!", makes me wanna scream: "You are abusing traumatized kid! Aren't you little clones that Azazel had played a prank on Issei. It was mostly funny until the part where they had to use the memory-erasing machine Azazel had invented (at best, they could only erase the memory of the clones running around but didn't erase the fact that an Issei clone did it, leaving the victims thinking the real Issei had done it to them because it would damage their brain memory). At that point in time, it was hilarious, albeit a bit suprised why he unfair to Issei who didn't really deserve all that. Fast forward to volume fourteen, and that memory-erasing machine incident suddenly doesn't notice you affection!?". Sadly, even later novels brushed that off. He still wont have sex with them, become funny anymore [[spoiler: thanks to the student council group using it to wipe off the memories of the students were the victim of a rouge wizard terrorist attack at the school, which leaves students traumatized of something but now that he's supposedly better there is no excuse other than "publishers said so".not ''what'']]. This left a bitter taste to the student council and the protagonists.

** Part of the problem is an editorial one; Ishibumi has been trying to set things up to get Issei laid by one of his girls for several books but his editor keeps shutting him down [[RuinedForever out of fear for]] [[MyGirlIsNotASlut the reactions of the otaku reader base.]] This has led to employing characters as {{Moment Killer}}s in the later books and unfortunately Asia has gotten stuck with the job.

He has a pair of [[ChainsawGood chainsaw-wielding]] grade school girls in gym uniforms, a pair of {{Cat Girl}}s in {{Stripperiffic}} SailorFuku, an AnimeChineseGirl, two {{Meido}}s, a girl who looks like she came from a Vegas gig, a {{Tomboy}}, a YamatoNadeshiko, and his {{Tsundere}} sister.
** It even gets lampshaded in an {{Omake}} chapter of the manga when Riser attempts to invite Ravel into his peerage.



* LawfulNeutral: Sakra Indra. Will help out TheAlliance just so they can take care of the Khaos Brigade's Hero Faction, but won't do anything else after that.

* CompleteMonster: While there are quite a few the crown has to go to Diodora Astaroth. [[spoiler: It's implied that he raped all the pieces under his commend and also was about to rape Asia]].
* CrazyAwesome: Seriously, if he wasn't the protagonist, Issei would be dead by now with all the crazy stuff he can pull off. To wit, he has: done a rescue mission to Asia by ''punching out a Fallen Angel so hard she bursts through the wall'' (out the window in the anime), barged in an engagement party full of devils to take back Rias, ''invented Dress Break and Bilingual out of pure lust'', defeats Riser, ''an immortal phoenix'', not with the use of his newly-found dragon powers, but by using a holy cross and holy water which he can't even use because he's a devil, but is capable to do so because his arm is a dragon's, powers up with lust and by using Rias' breasts, [[spoiler: accidentally ''summons the Breast God'' (well Breast Fairy but still definitely counts), is capable of ''breathing fire'' to a shadow-using opponent, and was able to make the past users of Boosted Gear come back to the light and make them stop relying on Juggernaut Drive ''with breasts'']]. If there's one thing Rias recruited to her group, it's the fact that she recruited ''the'' craziest character of the series. ''No one'' out-crazies Issei at all in this series. And yet somehow, he's also the OnlySaneMan in the group (when he's not doing his lecherous ways).
