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.

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.

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 – 11 Summary

The Rating match continues into it's second part, although at this point it is hard to tell who is losing and who is winning. The fact is that Rizer has lost six pawns and one rook, but he still has a lot of pieces reminding. However on Rias side she has only so far lost one rook but she only had one piece of each type to begin with, so even the lose of one piece is a big blow to her. Shorty after this happens kiba grabs Issei so that they can collect their thoughts and focus on winning this match for Koneko sake as well. Then as they head back out to the field they are face with a knight and rook. While Kiba takes the knight this leave Issei the rook.

During most of this battle it focus more on Issei fight with the rook than on Kiba's fight. It turns out for the early part of the fight Issei just has to defend himself to give his sacred gear enough time to power-up so that he can defeat the rook. Then once enough time has pass he tries firing a low-power versions of the energy shot that he used at the end of the training episode. However it turns out that his strike misses, which gives the rook an opening to defeat Issei. Although Issei use this moment to set-up his dress-break spell, which we finish it. This gives him the perfect opportunity to finish off the rook with a second energy shot from his sacred gear.

While all this is happening, Kiba's fight with the knight reveals the true nature of his sacred gear. That his gear has the ability to make swords, any sword that he wants. That means he has the perfect weapon to use against his opponent by using his sword to seal all measure of attack that she posses. He show-off a bit by displaying the fact that he can cause sword to shoot out of the ground by stabbing it with his sword. Although by the time he finish explaining all of this Issei has already Finished-off his opponent,but Kiba feels the need to apologies to the enemy for the shameless way that she was defeated.

Just as this finishs the rest of Rizer piece show-up but the don't feel the need to all engage in the fight. The second knight of Rizer decides to make Issei her opponent while the rest sit back and watch. However, while this is happening Rias and Ashia tries to sneak in but are caught by Rizer. This leads to them taking there fight to the rooftop. After it been resolved that Rias is going to engage Rizer so that he can't interfere with the rest of the fights. Issei is continuing his fight with the knight, but once he realizes what a dire situation they are in. His emotional state causes His sacred gear to go through it second evolution, where now it can absorb the powers of other scared gears. This leads him to finish the fight down-below by having Kiba use his sacred gear against him, this allows him to enhance Kiba's gear so that they can defeat all of the enemies they are facing at once.

Then just as this happens, Kiba is taken out by Rizer queen that earlier was being occupied by Akeno. Although as this happens Issei quickly runs inside the building to get promote to a Queen. Then from here he rushs up to the roof to help out Rias fight Rizer, and finish the rating game. However things don't go as planed because as Ashia is healing Issei she is taken out by Rizer's Queen but even-though Issei protect her. The blast still ends up knock Ashia unconscious so that she can no-longer heal Rias. This results in Issei charging Rizer but just before he can reach him, Issei clauses from exhaustion and slides down the roof. While Issei is trying to recover Rizer doesn't give him the chance, and uses Rias feelings for Issei against her to force her to forfeit. That if she doesn't he really will kill Issei, this in the end is what causes her to loss the game. Although I believe this is just a nice set-up for a final battle between Issei and Rizer, because Rizer can't marry Rias if he is dead. The other possible end is if he loses to Issei a pawn, Rias brother Satan may feel that Rizer is no-longer fit to marry Rias.
