Issei, our protagonist, is back with his usual perverted self in High School DxD season 2 episode 9 titled "I Have a Junior!". With a plot that focuses on Issei taking up a responsibility as a senior devil, this episode is full of humorous and lighthearted moments.
The episode starts with Issei being called to the Occult Research Club by Rias who introduces Issei to his junior, Gasper. But, as it turns out, Gasper has a unique power that Rias believes will be very beneficial for their fight against the fallen angels. Although Issei is reluctant, he takes Gasper under his wing and takes on the responsibility of training him to harness his powers.
Meanwhile, Issei's girlfriend Rias and her friend Akeno have been keeping something from him and decide it is time to come clean. As it turns out, the two are not only devil's but also part of a group that seeks to overthrow the devil ruler Sirzechs Lucifer. They are preparing for a big fight and ask Issei for his help.
As the episode progresses, Issei realizes how much of an outcast Gasper has been and decides to help him come out of his shell. With a little help from his friends, Issei organizes a training exercise for Gasper and the other club members. This not only helps Gasper become more confident but also shows him that he has friends who care about him.
The episode takes a more emotional turn towards the end when Gasper reveals that he was responsible for the disappearance of a girl from the school. As Gasper reveals his past, the club and Issei stand by him, providing him with support and understanding. This moment of emotional vulnerability not only endears Gasper to the audience but also shows Issei's growth as a character.
Overall, "I Have a Junior!" is a fantastic episode that balances lighthearted moments with emotional depth. It is refreshing to see Issei take on a mentor role and provide guidance to someone other than himself, showing his maturity as a character. With a big fight on the horizon, this episode sets the stage for some epic battles to come.
