High School DxD Season 5 Plot
The story starts with a mid-session Promotion Test. Three high school students, Issei, Akeno, and Kiba, prepare for the test.
The story revolves around a teenager Issei Hyoudou, who studies at Kuoh Academy. It was earlier a complete girls school but was recently opened for boys, too. It was a secret to humans that angels, creatures, and devils also study in the school. Issei is an average student who lives a relaxed life. On an ordinary day, a girl named Yuma Amano asks Issei for a date.
After the date, she takes Issei to a nearby park. She asks him to die for her. She discloses that she is Raynare, a fallen angel. Yuma tries to kill Issei and a buxom third-year student, Rias Gremory at the Academy, uses her summoning card to revive him. He wakes up the next morning and thinks that it all happened in a dream.
The very next moment, another fallen angel attacks him, and when he wakes up, he notices Rias. Rias reveals her identity as a demon and informs Issei that Yuma killed him, and she rejuvenated him, who comes to be her loyal servant in the process.
For High School DxD Season 5, the story shall revolve around Hero Oppai Dragon Arc. This arc began in season 4 that covers volumes 9 and 10 of the light novel. So we can expect that Season 5 will follow Volumes 11 and 12 of the novel.
