## **Technique(s):**

**Boosted Gear:** Issei's Sacred Gear and main weapon. The Boosted Gear is one of the 13 Longinus which holds the spirit of the Welsh Dragon, the Red Dragon Emperor, Ddraig, one of the Heavenly Dragons. It is said to have the power to kill a God when fully mastered. Boosted Gear takes the form of a red gauntlet on the wielder's left hand that has the ability to double the user's power every 10 seconds without limit, and its sub-ability can transfer the multiplied power to a being or object.

* **Dragon Shot:** One of Issei's signature moves. Issei fires a beam of energy by concentrating his demonic powers. This move is usually used in tandem with the Boosted Gear to increase its destructive power. He has also developed a small scale Dragon Shot that is meant for knocking out humans while fending off the members of the Hero Faction who are humans. After his fight with Sirzechs, being inspired by the way he uses his Power of Destruction, Issei starts working on how to redirect his Dragon Shot by moving them in different directions, which he can now do.
* **Flame Blaze:** Issei learned how to use Dragon Flames through Boosted Gear. He first inhale an amount of air to fill his lungs, then uses his demonic powers to produce a small flame within his stomach and use Boosted Gear's ability to enhance it. While the air mixed the enhanced fire within his stomach, he breath out a large stream of dragon flames from his mouth toward his enemies. He's also shown to widen the range of his dragon flames that can engulf the whole sky.
* **Penetrate:** One of Ddraig's original abilities before he was sealed into the Boosted Gear. It allows Issei to bypass any defensive powers (Including Rizevim's Sacred Gear Canceller) that would otherwise prevent his attacks from landing. It can also be used to see through women's clothing.
* **Dress Break:** The second of Issei's signature move which he uses mainly against females. This moves allows him to strip a female's clothes after coming in contact with them by concentrating his magical energy on the clothes and then by snapping his fingers.
* **Bilingual:** Issei's third signature move. Bilingual gives him the ability to talk to the breasts of all females. It is a helpful technique as it helps Issei learn his opponents' plans and strategies by asking their breasts; however due to complaints from female members from other peerages, Rias banned Issei from using this technique in Rating Games.
* **Boosted Gear: Scale-Mail:** The Balance Breaker of Boosted Gear that creates a Red Dragon Armor and Issei's primary battle form. In this form Issei can "Boost" without the 10 second limit. At the back of his armor there are two rocket boosters that gives a temporary boost of speed and flight. Issei's Scale Mail has a pair of Dragon Wings with pteranodon-like claws that he can use as arms, but Issei himself is still inexperience in flying and leaves it to Ddraig.
	+ **Ascalon:** A Holy Dragon Slayer Sword given to him by the Archangel Michael after some alterations, Issei was able to wield and merge the sword with his Boosted Gear and keeps it stored inside when not in use. Eventually, Issei has learned how to channel the Holy Dragon Slayer power of Ascalon into his Balance Breaker attacks, allowing him to harm Dragons more easily.
	+ **Dividing Wyvern Fairies:** This allows him to create small white Wyverns from the gems of his armor that can not only "Divide" but can also "Reflect" incoming attacks. Unlike the Dividing Gear, It only requires Issei's stamina rather than reducing his lifespan. Issei can also change the white Wyverns into red at will where they are able to use Ddraig's powers of "Boost" and "Transfer" instead.
	+ **Illegal Move Trident:** The Illegal Move Trident is a specialized technique used by Issei that changes his Scale Mail armor into three different forms based on the Evil Pieces system.
		- **Welsh Dragonic Rook:** Trident's Rook Form. In this form, Issei possesses a massive amount of strength and durability but has a low body maneuvering speed because of the massive, thickened armor. Its finishing move is "Solid Impact", a punch that has its strength and speed increased by nailing the percussion hammer located at his elbow.
		- **Welsh Sonic Boost Knight:** Trident's Knight form. In this form, Issei possesses enormous speed and reflexes that far surpasses Sairaorg's speed, but to make full use of it, Issei must shed his excess armor, causing it to become thin to the point where it has low defense, making him vulnerable to powerful attacks.
		- **Welsh Blaster Bishop:** Trident's Bishop Form. In this form, Issei possesses an enormous amount of demonic energy, which he applies it to the two cannons at the back of his armor. It's finishing move is "Dragon Blaster", a severely boosted equivalent of his Dragon Shot capable of leveling battlefields and briefly warp space-time. The drawbacks to this is the amount of time it takes to charge the cannons and stamina lost with each shot.
	+ **Crimson Cardinal Queen:** The Scale Mail's Queen Form that is achieved by gaining the "True Queen". This form changes the color of Issei's Scale Mail armor from red to crimson. Cardinal Crimson Promotion incorporates all three Evil Pieces traits, making it the most balanced and most powerful form of Issei's Scale Mail. In this form, Issei is capable of using enhanced versions of the Illegal Move Trident's powers. This form, however, is still unstable and requires mastering the three forms of Illegal Move Trident to stabilize its powers.
		- **Diabolos Dragon:** This form is the result of Issei borrowing Ophis's power. The True Queen form undergoes further changes, changing color to be both crimson and black and adding a second set of wings. The power this form grants is so great that it overwhelms Rizevim Livan Lucifer's Sacred Gear Canceller, previously thought impossible. Its finishing move is Infinity Blaster, a move so powerful, that the blast leaves even Rizevim injured to a extent that his body is almost fatally damaged. According to Issei, only he can use this form because his body was created with Ophis's power and Great Red's flesh. Even so, Issei can only sustain this form for a short period of time, followed by pain that makes death pale in comparison.
		- **Longinus Smasher:** The most powerful attack of the Boosted Gear. A launcher appears from the chest of the Scale Mail while in Crimson Cardinal Queen that is capable of shooting an extremely powerful energy beam. This leaves a strong fatigue on Issei as it drains a lot of his stamina and depending how one uses it, it can change the environment.

**Dragonification:** Issei can freely turn any part of his body into that of a humanoid Dragon by concentrating his thoughts on the specified body part. He first demonstrates the technique by turning his right arm into that of a Dragon in order to combat three Magicians who were sent to attack Kuoh Academy. It is extremely powerful, as shown when he easily breaks through their defense magic and knocks one of them out with a single punch. Unfortunately, once the transformation occurs, he is unable to return it to human form, unless he gets the Dragon energy drained from the transformed body part by either Rias or Akeno.
