10 Second Anime - High School DxD BorN - Episode 10



Asia uses her Summer training to heal Issei. Loki's curse takes root and puts Rias in danger.

Hmm.

It looks like Loki's curse actually did something. That little purple mist that Orphis found in Issei was Loki's curse attacking his doubt that a girl would actually love him. That fear came from the first girl who showed any interest in him revealing herself to be a fallen angel who killed him. Issei should have issues after that trauma, but with all these girls kissing him and telling him how much they care, or want babies, the doubt remained. And that doubt was strong enough for Loki's curse to allow him to be controlled in some manner. Loki is the trickster god, so something that insidious makes sense.

It appears to me that the hook into Rias' heart is her jealousy and possessiveness. Her role as the leader of the group doesn't allow her to act on her selfishness as much as she wants, and that's where Loki's curse found its opportunity. I'm not sure how this Issei doppelganger works, but I suspect it's related to that red crystal fragment that exploded into a red and green-eyed monster. Was it a piece of the Red Dragon? These last episodes will ratchet up the tension and action, so I'm expecting Issei to do a lot of yelling, powering up, and ultimately saving the damsel in distress.

Geh.

The story is going back into action mode pretty quickly after the rescue of Asia, so the only bit of NSFW stuff we had was her eye catch and her blouse getting messed up from using her powered up healing ability.

Heh.

Rossweise got left behind again? Maybe it was by design because of Odin's conversation with Loki.

I love Akeno's little fu-fu-fu laugh, especially when she and the rest caught Asia kissing Issei. Rias seemed to have a mature response by ceding Asia's victory for the day, but we saw the curse worming around her heart.

Asia's Summer Camp training was actually a good idea - heal others at a distance. She's got no offensive capabilities and she normally had to get very close in dangerous situations to heal people. Those other bishops on Diodoras' team seemed to have the proper skills.

Evil Issei is evil.

Rias didn't say a word, but seemed totally in sync with Evil Issei. Perhaps this is how a fully confident Harem King would act like.

Well, Issei would never wear that smug look on his face. He's too appreciative of his harem to care what others think about his status. He also wouldn't force Rias to attack the people she cares about. I'm looking forward to seeing Issei wipe the smug off his evil twin's face.
