The Story of High School DxD

Recap / Main Plot

The video retells the High School DxD saga as a three-way war between Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels, sparked by God’s death, the takeover by St. Michael, and the fallout from a “Total War” that nearly wiped out major factions. A peace deal halts open conflict, but the struggle continues indirectly—especially on Earth, where Angels and Devils recruit humans using powers called Sacred Gears.

Meanwhile, Fallen Angels (like Azazel, Yuma, and Freed) push their own agenda, often through deception and assassination attempts.

At the center is Eay (Issei)—a weak, horny “pervert” type whose life changes when he possesses a legendary power tied to the Red Dragon Emperor. He’s set up on a date by Yuma, a fallen angel who tries to kill him—but he survives, becomes her devil servant, and gradually climbs into deeper danger and larger supernatural politics.

Key Highlights & Notable Events

• The “setup date” betrayal: Yuma tries to execute Eay with a spear of light, but Eay survives. The video uses a bizarre healing explanation involving “warmth,” cementing Yuma as a major romantic/faction threat.
• Earth contracts & Church corruption: Eay becomes entangled in devil “contract” work and repeatedly finds the church compromised by violent priests—echoing earlier atrocities from the Holy Sword Project (where children were drugged/gassed).
• AIA’s attempted execution and Eay’s turning point: Eay’s friend AIA is targeted in a forbidden ritual. Eay and his house operate under treaty rules, but arrive too late—until Eay and allies fight back hard. Yuma is annihilated after Eay evolves in power and uses compassion as a force.
• Training & the War-Games marriage tournament: Eay’s house is forced into a competitive “raiding game” to prevent a political marriage. Eay’s unexpected skill growth (plus his dirty-minded “charm” style ability) proves pivotal, culminating in a brutal battle where Eay protects the people he cares about.
• Crucial duels involving major dragon powers:
  • Eay challenges and defeats opponents using dragon-themed sacred gear transformations.
  • He later must unlock even higher forms after others push him past his limits.
• The Chaos Brigade arc & God is dead: Escalation peaks when cult attacks seize Gasper, and it’s later revealed that Heaven/God is effectively gone. This reshapes the political and spiritual landscape and triggers excommunication and faction realignments.
• The Fallen rivalry becomes personal: Eay battles increasingly powerful enemies tied to old saints, stolen sacred gear fragments, and fractured loyalties—especially amid the chaos surrounding Excalibur fragments and those hunting them.
• A large coalition vs. Loki: Mythic alliances form (Norse/Greek/Roman), and the story spikes into a full-scale invasion scenario. Eay joins major set-piece fights confronting divine-level threats.
• Kyoto and yo-kai experimentation: A trip to Kyoto becomes a battlefield after enemies capture the nine-tailed fox leader to test how far humans can be pushed against gods—forcing Eay into another ambush-filled conflict.
• The final “rating game” showdown: The climactic tournament pits Eay and friends against a top-tier opponent connected to a lion/Greek myth sacred gear. The fight tests endurance, timing, and emotional control—especially as Eay tries to stop himself from going berserk while still using his full dragon emperor power.
• Romance payoff: After Eay’s major victory, he confesses and finally gets the relationship moment he’s been denied—with Rus—paying off the long emotional arc beneath the power fantasy and fanservice.
• Tone note / punchline framing: The narrator claims they “told a good story” despite the infamous fanservice, joking that the video’s focus wasn’t relying on the anime’s primary gimmick—while still acknowledging it heavily.

Jokes / Memorable Reactions

• Repeated comedic framing of Eay’s perverted reputation and his attempts to act “normal.”
• The “warmth of a maiden heals wounds” explanation after a violent impalement—played for awkward absurdity.
• Frequent emphasis on Eay’s horny instincts as a recurring power catalyst (e.g., “love from women/boobs”), treated as comedic seasoning layered over the plot.
