High School DxD - Episode 02


Episode – 02 characters

Matsuda & Motohama – They are Hyoudou Issei's friends from mid-school, on graduation they decide to enroll in Kuou Academy because they just change from an all girls school to co-ed. The reason they want this is that there would be high population of women to men, so that they could fulfill their dream of having a harem.

Kiba Yuuto – Is extremely popular with all the girls, and because of this he is envied by Issei, Matsuda, and Motohama. Although it seems that he will play a larger role later on.

Rias Gremony – Is the President of the Occult Research Club, and another key character in the story. However for some deeper reason she has been keeping a close eye on Hyoudou Issei.

Hyoudou Issei – Is overtly perverted, and has some strange dream about being a harem king. Which if you ever watch Yu-Gi-Oh, the joke that the writer is making is quite apparent. Although after he dies he has a slight change of heart. It will be interesting how much he maturates over the course of the series.

Amano Yuuma – She is the girl that asks Issei out early in the episode, although you would have to ask what kind of respectable woman would date a known pervert. However the reason is later revealed.

Souna – There isn't much that we know about her other than she is close to Rias Gremony or at least the gremony family.

Himejima Akeno – She is the Vice-president of the Occult Research Club, and her personality is a refection of the Yamato Nadeshiko “Ideal Japanese Woman”. Although other than this not much is revealed.

Toujo Koneko – First year student at this part of the Occult Research Club, and is classified as a loli character that is popular with men and woman.

Dounashiki – He is the second fallen angle that Issei ran into in the first episode, since they name him. It is likely that he will be making a second appearance.







Episode – 02 summary

It starts with Issei waking up next to Rias, although this turns out to be a startling development because they are both naked in bed. However for as big of a pervert that he is you would think he would be more overjoyed about this development. It turns out that he is acting like a scared virgin that can't remember their first time, this demeanor reflect how innocent he truly is. This bring up question of how much of his behavior is an act to fit in with his friends and how much is his true intent. After this humorous scene Rais explains that what happen last night wasn't a dream that he really almost did die, and the reason that they are naked was so that she could heal him with her magic. Although thing get interrupted by the appearance of his mother. After a few more humorous scenes this leads us to the point where she tells him that after school someone will come to get him so that they can continue this discussion.

Although he is displease with who Rias choose to send to get him, the person he hates the most Kiba. Although once Rias arrives she goes into explaining what is going on. The fact is that She and everyone that is part of the Occult Research Club is a Devil. That there are three force out there and they are at war with each other. The Devil, Angels, and Fallen Angles. That what happen between you and Yuuma was not a dream, it really happened. That Yuuma was a Fallen Angle sent to kill Issei, and the reason being he held a Sacred Gear. Although it turns that he can't activate because his emotila state isn't strong enough. However he is told that he is Rias servant and if he works hard it will be possible for him to get his own servant, but currently they are going to have him to do go-fer work where he is to pass out Devil contract cards.

This leads up to the point where Issei has to take over one of the requests from Koneko, which was with an Hentai that is a bit to into Loicon's (a man that is interested in underage woman). Although this leads them into a heated discussion about a Dragon Ball knock-off, which leads me to believe that in this series there is going to be a lot of Anime references. However as he is leaving his place Issei runs into another dark angle which is the one that sent Yuuma to kill him. In the end he saves him self by activating his sacred gear and causing her to run away. Although this unfortunate event, ends up informing the dark angles that he has been resurrected as a Devil.
