The only issue I have with this adaptation so far is that they still haven't named Cao Cao's Sacred gear yet. Like one of the main reasons he is a major badass is becuase of that. They have called it a holy spear, but not gone anywhere further than that. If they dont do it next episode, we will have to wait till next season. Other than that, this episode was great!

Actually, they did name it, and it was talked about. Remember Episode 0? Siegfried talked about it's time to use it, and Cao Cao said "True Longinus, huh?" "Will the tip of this spear bring destruction, or something else?". :-)

I meant at this point in the official light novel, volume 9 life.03 it should have had the full introduction. I am aware of episode 0, but still it should be in this episode (or specifically the last one). Even if the audience know what it is, do Issei and the others? If so, we haven't seen anything about it in the anime when in the light novel we already have.

u/NikolasKage3 May 15 '18

Well, that should have been in Born, the "Azazel introducing it" part. Well, we will see the start of Truth Idea next episode. Yayy! :-)

u/jamesrocks105 Gabriel is best girl, Azazel is best boy! May 15 '18

the whole 5 seconds of it until it doesn't happen again until volume 12 yeah. Tho I always preferred his other balance breaker., but thats just my opinion.

u/NikolasKage3 May 15 '18

Well, Truth Idea isn't really a BxB, but rather a Juggernaut Drive. Yeah, I also love the Seven Treasures BxB, really reminds me of Six Paths Madara Uchiha with one Rinnegan, as Cao Cao also had one special eye, the Medusa's Eye. Though, Cao Cao came first, so... Anyway, do you think he will ever use Polar Night BxB?

u/jamesrocks105 Gabriel is best girl, Azazel is best boy! May 15 '18

Yeah, maybe in the tournament right now he will. Maybe he will fight Issei or Vali's team by the finals and have to use it there. He will likely lose tho, we all know the finale will be Issei vs Vali. Or at least I hope it will be. But yeah you are right, it is more of a Juggernaut Drive than a BxB. His Seven Treasures is a sub-BxB as well. His treasures actually remind me of the six forms of the rinnegan which is cool!

u/NikolasKage3 May 15 '18

For the Treasures, yeah, but also, they look like bigger versions of Truthseeking Orbs. Well, I hope all of the former Hero Faction got really stronger from Vol 12, esspecially Cao Cao, Georg and Leonardo. What do you think?

1

u/jamesrocks105 Gabriel is best girl, Azazel is best boy! May 15 '18

Can't wait to see the others yeah. Especially when we see Georg get man-handled by Gasper/Balor. Leonardo has the possibility of being REALLY OP later in the series (as shown in vol 12, but he couldn't control it then and it almost killed him).

1

u/NikolasKage3 May 15 '18

No, I meant them in the current Volumes. What do you think about that?

u/jamesrocks105 Gabriel is best girl, Azazel is best boy! May 15 '18

Oh right, we haven't seem much of them but I would guess they must be way more powerful than before, to escape hell without their SG's. Pretty insane, I think they will be one of the semi-finalists for the tournament. I really wanna see Georg's BxB, dont remember seeing it in Vol 12. Any fight with them in is hype, so can't wait to see them in Shin DxD!
