this is why dxd dub is superior

[KDP]

Raynare literally traumatized him and they were on his ass for not being able to confess…that’s some cold shit right there.

[Razsor]

In Issei’s defense, Raynare traumatized him so much to the point where he doubted if a girl could actually like him. I’m pretty sure anyone would be the same way if they experienced what Issei went through.

[JDWalker]

Damn I don’t remember them being that brutal

[adhamsabry]

Says the person that hates her father because he was protecting her and her mother

[alexi]

The only reason the sub is better is Akenos ara ara 💀

[justinmitchell]

Funny how they got on his ass for not being able to confess when they are well aware of how his last relationship went

[ssjshallot]

I was so enraged by this scene I wrote a fanfic out of pure anger. "Infinity Gear" it was called. Never finished it...

[TheDeadlySaint]

Fun fact Akeno’s English voice is going to voice kobeni from chainsawman

[kaiserdrago]

Oh snap akeno is showing her savage side I approve

[justinhenderson]

Regardless of what everyone else says and thinks, I think they were too harsh on issei, poor guy 😔, I hope they make a OVA episode where they figure the truth

[justinhenderson]

Makes you wonder what’s Akeno’s reaction when she figures out issei’s trauma caused by Raynare

[gianvittoriomarti]

Oh Man.... A boy who was betrayed and killed by the girl he loved, is scared to confess love to another girl??? OMG I wonder why 🤷🤷🤷

[gokumasteredultrainstinct]

As much that litery Kill me by saiying This, Akeno, but Issei is not Brainless, he IS afraid, afraid that Rias do to him Just like Raynare did to him in The First Season.

[herbert-kenumera]

That has to be one of the best ways to be called stupid in human history.

[josephwilliams]

Not gonna lie I really hated how they seemed to dog pile on Issei here because one on any other day the girls would've taken this as a chance to get on issei's good side, two Rias is busy thinking about romance when their about to jump into a life or death battle, and three they conveniently forgot Issei probably had PTSD from what happened with Raynar. And next episode they try to make it up to him with boobs, f*** that I would've said my peace😑

[grimmashley]

Highschool DxD dub is a perfect example of "The writers didn't care what got in and that made it infinitely better"

[Kingofshadows]

Really, irina, xenovia and gasper get slack in my mind because they genuinely did not know, while ravel and rossweisse have nothing to do with this. But rias, akeno, Asia, koneko and kiba were all there. They all knew and the fact it genuinely did not occur to them whatsoever that he could be traumatized by this experience until his trauma started inconveniencing them…it really comes across as extremely self absorbed.

[SHARKBITE]

As much as I find this series to be a guilty pleasure, even I thought this was a pretty absurd sequence of events.

Rather than the group going, "Okay, we know Issei isn't a total idiot, albeit a bit dense. And we know he genuinely cares about all of us and especially the President. Hell, it's blatantly obvious that he has feelings for her. So, how come he doesn't reciprocate her advances even though she's being so obvious about her own feelings? There's obviously something going on with him that we're not aware of."

Instead, they immediately fly off the handle and shift all the blame on Issei even though he's already pretty upset after Rias shouted at him. Practically kicking the poor guy while he's already down.

Yeah, they eventually figure it out and apologize. But still, talk about jumping to conclusions.

Bro I died when me and my gf was watching this I died by laughing to hard

[abdulmuhammad-wcdo]

Akeno just summed up the entire ecchi shonen mcs in one sentence, there is NO coming back from that.
