Freed Serzen – Is the Priest that works for the strange church in town, although he is a very violent person. That doesn't seek so save the soul of the people that make contracts with devils but seeks to kill them before they can make them. It appears that the reason the priest is so strange is that he works for the fallen angles.

Shitori Souna – She is the leader of another group of devils at the school called Sounashitori.

Episode – 09 Summary

This episode is all about make preparation for the final battle of the series or season. The question is arguable because this series is based off of a light-novel and depending on where they end on the Q1 of 2012 in relationship with the source material will determine when they release the second season. Throughout the began of the episode he is shown training with Kiba, Koneko, and Akeno. The most notable part of this training is where he is instructed on how to use magic. That it all depends on one's ability to use their imagination to effect things around them. Akeno explains that if you get good enough that there isn't anything that you can't influence. All of this leaves him depress until he finds something that he can focus on. That ultimately leads to him creating a strip spell although this might be surprisingly useful considering that all of the Rizer piece are woman.

This leads to the next day where Rias is explaining the origin of the rating game. It appears that a long time ago there was a great war between angles, fallen angles, and devils. That everyone suffered great loss, however the ones that suffered the most was the devils. The reason for this is that in exchange for their extremely long life, they have very low birth-rates. That means it will take a long time for them to recover from their loss. Then only families that survived this war was Gremony, Phoenix, and Shitori. Although to compensate for the low population of devil, they began turning humans into devils. Then to test the strength of each family they would have rating games, because with the population as low as it was they really couldn't fight to the death. That is the purpose of it however they didn't yet explain any of the rules. It could end up being played like a game of chess so that during the game there could be eight Issei. Since Rias used all of her pawn on Issei. Although when the game begins is should be interesting. All speculation aside they break and prepare for bed.

Durning the night as Issei is getting ready to work on his secret move, he runs into Rias who is preparing a battle plan for the rating game. This gives the two a chance to talk about what is going on. It appears that the reason that Rias doesn't want to marry Rizer is that would end the existence of the Gremony because she is the next clan head. Another thing is that Rizer action are a bit strange because from time to time he intentionally lose rating games, and what kind of motive would he have for doing that. Although Issei is a bit disappointed in the way he acted, that if he held himself back they wouldn't be in there current situation. However Rias is glad that he did because now it has presented her a way out of the marriage. That he needs to believe in himself more as well as the rest of them as well. That it would be best for him to go to bed because tomorrow is going to be a long day. The next day, Rias set-up a situation where he boost his gear up 12 times. This proves that he has gotten stronger, then once he release the energy. He ends up obliterating the mountain. Then just as he collapse she proclaims that he is going to be their trump card.
