Oh man, that was crazy.

Kiba's reunion with his friends almost pulled out my manly tears.

Xenovia showing that power of God.

Judging by the comments, looks like that fallen Angel dude is about to get one-shooted in the next episode.

Being a light novel reader, it's really hard not to spoil what is gonna happen next, but I guess some people already did. Oh well. Can't wait foe Vali to kick ass next.

Pretty nice episode.
Thought the pacing felt awkward in a couple parts.
I watched a censored version before getting to see it uncensored. ;-;


Anyways...

A question about Yuuto's balance breaker

Holy sword is lethal to demon
Demon sword... not sure what they do
So, any special thing about holy demon sword, or is it just a ATK stats upgrade ?

Loved this episode as always wondering what will happen next though. Will Rias be able to fight on par with the leader of the fallen angels? or will her brother King Satan come to save the day with some legendary power?

Sacred Gear Rising: Revengeance

Ok great episode. But oh god, Funimation HOW COULD YOU DO US DIRTY LIKE THIS. Part of the reason I stopped watching To Love Ru was cause of those damn light rays. Motto To Love Ru was next to unwatchable cause of the absurd and inconsistent censorship. And DxD...what felt like the last stronghold of pure, raw ecchi goodness is now getting the light ray treatment? Nah son, the hunt for fansubs begins

I mean, today's episode was pretty action packed and epic, so it's fine. But we're gonna get blue balled SO HARD when the ecchi cranks up again. *sigh* I never thought I'd see the day where this anime gets censored

Hey can someone with more knowledge about the series as a whole remind me of a few things? Its been awhile.

What does Issei's promotion ability do? If I remember right it just lets him get some extra power? Rook>Strength, Knight>Speed,Queen>MagicPower/Boosting, Bishop>??Healing??

Is a Balance Breaker just a massive spike in power by unlocking an ability? Is Issei's Scale Armor form his Balance Breaker or is that different? They vaguely said it is unlocked by a change of heart, but what exactly is it?

People have been somewhat hinting at/spoiling that *someone* will be joining the occult club soon. Just out of curiosity, is Rias's roster full? Atm I know:
Queen: 1/1 Akeno
Rook: ?/2 Koneko
Bishop: ?/2 Asia
Knight: ?/2 Kiba
Pawn: 8/8 Issei (Worth 8 pawns. What a baws)

Basically I'm asking how many pieces are Koneko, Asia, and Kiba worth?
Also does Rias choose which piece someone becomes? Or is it based off of the person?

Koneko = 1
Asia = 1
Kiba = 1

For more information queen worth 9 piece, rook equal 5 piece, knight and bishop equal 3 piece. And the piece someone consume depend of the worthiness of that person. There is also special piece called mutation piece which I forgot how much that value.

Balance breaker is the ultimate state of a sacred gear which can break the balance of power hence 'balance breaker'. In Issei case this would be his Scale Armor which he has yet to master. Promotion allow Issei to take on one of the trait of the other piece
Rook=atk/def
Knight=agility
Queen=magic

Regarding Ria's pieces she still has 1 unsed rook and knight
Asia is actually her

A mutation piece doesn't have single monetary value on it. Thus someone who might require 8 pawn pieces (Issei for example) could get by with 1 pawn mutation piece, theoretically.

Queen is actually the most powerful piece and grants the benefits of all the other pieces.

Rook=High Attack/Defence-low speed
Knight=High speed-low Defence
Bishop=Enhanced Magic
Queen=Has all the benefits of Rook,Knight and Bishop
Pawn=Ability to transform to a Queen in enemy territory/or with the Kings consent

This has always been a question I've desired to know as well but as it stands, it appears that the devils have a rather large disadvantage against angels and fallen angels as both of those factions can use light (hence the light spears you have seen) to do major damage to devils. Even more so, the holy swords as well as other holy objects can do a rather large amount of damage to devils themselves.

In general, the demonic swords (for example, Gram the most famous and probably most powerful demonic sword) doesn't do anything in particular like extra damage to angels and fallen angels. However it does have some unique properties which I won't go into as of now.

Despite not having any particular "advantage" in terms of weapons against angels and fallen angels, the devils do have in advantage in some respects of "recruitment" in terms of adding more devils to their faction with the "chess piece" system that we see on display with Rias' group. For every devil that has risen to the rank of a "King" piece, they can form their own group. Thus they could potentially add another 15 devils to their factions (8 pawns, 2 knights, 2 rooks, 1 queen) although more than one piece may have to be used at a time so the number they add is often smaller than this.

I won't go any farther than this so if you wish to know more details, I'd recommend you start reading the light novels ;).

A pawn can actually transform into any of the pieces and not just the queen if that is the desire. However, typically a pawn does turn into a queen when given the chance.

Also, while the queen does encompass all of the aspects of the other pieces, depending on the strengths/personality of the individual, the "queen" will often be stronger in certain areas. To be more direct, they might be more rook-like, or knight-like, etc. as a queen and thus be stronger overall in those aspect despite having all the pieces traits.

I followed the light novels pretty closely but don't ever remember reading that the demonic swords could affect the angels/fallen angels the same way the holy swords affected the devils but I'll take your word for it. Common sense would think that be the case but I just can't remember the light novels confirming (nor denying) what you said.

I'll give it a quick flip through to see if I find anything...

Misunderstanding is probably because the sample shown.
Akeno and Rayser's queen are both mage type, so they don't seem to have much use of the Rook/Knight status boost. Grayfia also seems like mage type instead of doing close combat
Not to mention both Asia and Ravel are healer type, so naturally they use theirs to increase that potential.

Another enjoyable episode. Glad Kiba's swords appeared from the right below of the enemy this time. It was a touching moment when his dead fellows showed up. Wonder which sword is more powerful, Kiba's or Xenovia's. It was a bit disappointing Issei played a support role at the battle, but perhaps it was a wise move. Rias and Issei will defeat Kokabiel? Or Sirzechs will beat him? Or Azazel will show up to undertake mediation? Can't wait for next episode.

Great episode, lots of action and fanservice. :) Kiba gets a power up and has a balance breaker: holy demonic sword. Now that's awesome! Xenovia is such a badass! Durandal is an excalibur-tier holy sword and she's pretty much the only one that can wield it. :3

Well congratulations on occult club's FIRST full fledged Balance Breaker, coming from Kiba! The Holy Demonic Sword, Sword of Betrayal!

Technically the "first" Balance Breaker was Issei's Balance Breaker, as we all know, Boosted Gear Scale Mail, but he doesn't have full control over that power... yet. But it'll happen soon.

And we finally got to see Xenovia's signature BFS, Durandal!! Sexy sword. Power overwhelming.

Last note, Vali, come on, show up already. Stop making your entrance so anticipating already.

Although it was a lot of fun the fight with that crazy guy was disappointing and felt rushed. We got all this hype about the power a holy Excalipur sword has. Kiba's demonic swords where breaking one after the other when fighting it when it was a single sword and now after merging 4 of them together and supposedly getting a super sword it get vut in a matter of seconds?

The most powerful holy swords can only access their full power when wielded by the person the blade chooses a true user IE Xenovia with Durandal, Kiba reached balance breaker which makes his saced gear even more powerful.
