Episode – 10 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.

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.

Ashia Argento – She is a nun that has recently moved into the city that Issei lives in, but the strange thing is that, the only church in town doesn't have a Priest so no-one see a point in going there. Other than this brief introduction not much more is given out about her.

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

There is also the fact that she is the childhood friend of Rias Gremony.

Shinga Tsubaki – She is the vice-president of the student council, which means that it is likely that she was is Souna's Queen. Although anything more isn't really known

Saji Genshiro – It appears that he will be Issei rival of sorts, he was also a pawn. However he was only made with half as many pawns as Issei was. He doesn't like the idea that he is simliar to issei in any way.

Rizer phoenix – Is a jerk and a womanizer, also he is the heir to the phoenix clan. It also appears that he is Rias fiancee, even so he doesn't care that she doesn't like him. He just see her as an opportunity to obtain greater power, as well as another conquest.

Episode – 10 Summary

Then as things are progressing towards the matter of rating match. Everyone meets up inside the clubroom, where we will get a explanation how things will play out. That all parities will be transported to an artificial realm where there is no reason to hold back because once the match is finished the world would no-long exist, so it don't matter how much damages is caused. Then before they cross-over to this fake world Souna informs Rias that she is going to be the judge, that she wish Rias the best of luck.

Then once they are there Issei thinks that the teleportation was a failure because of him. Although it turns out that they have been transported successfully but the field is made to be an exact replica of the school. Then as things get started we get a look at a map of the field that is divide in an 8x8 grid just like a chess board. That it appears that the home fields are that the club-house that is there home field while Rizer is in the main school building. Although Issei believes that all he needs to do is get to the other side of the field. Rias take the time to remind him that it is also possible for Rizer pawns to be promoted. That he isn't the only pawn in the game. The plan is that for the moment Koneko, Kiba, and Akeno will set-up traps, while the others remine behind for now.

It turns out, that while they are outside setting up Rias is going to have Issei lay down on her lap. In truth this has something to do with all the training that he had to do, because it appears that even-though when he was brought back to life with the eight pawns. If Rias didn't first seal seven of the eight, it would have been too much for his body. That it would cause him to self-destruct, so to prevent that Rias sealed most of his powers. That is part of the reason, he went under all that training so that he could handle more power. That now she is going to break one of the seven seals since he is stronger now.

After that is done, it turns out that Issei and Koneko is going to head to the gym. The reason for this is to use it as a forward base. While Akeno and Kiba stay behind to guard their home field to prevent Rizer's pawns from being promoted. The plan turns out to be mostly successfully with Issei and Koneko getting inside the gym, but it turns out that three pawns and one rook where waiting for them. They decide that Koneko is going to handle the rook while Issei deals with the three pawns. Issei spends most of the fight running away from the pawns, it appears that he had a reason for this. The point was to set-up for his strip spell, because he believe that if they were naked they wouldn't be able to fight back. We see the result of this, at the same time that Koneko finish off her opponent. Then just as they leave the gym to head deeper into Rizer territory, Akeno blows up the gym behind them. Then with that there is a little foreshadowing that Rizer is going to start getting serious now.
