You seem to forget that the sacred gear didn't suddenly materialize from nothing just because he became a devil. Sacred Gears Users are born with the sacred gear inside of them. Meaning he always had it.

That fact has been confirmed and cannot be disputed.

for example Asia was born with Twilight Healing, its nothing something she inherited or received, it was a part of her from the moment she entered the world.

The same goes for Issei and every other sacred gear user in the entire series.

So no, issei was never truly normal. yes he may have died or he may not have. we don't know since rias intervened and brought him back.

Also, the users you listed started off completely normal. they didn't acquire there abilities and powers till later on in life. while Issei has literally always had his since the day he was born, he just didn't know about them at the time.

Also Simon might have never have become a badass if it wasn't for Kamina. And Jack was originally nothing more then a gladiator and it took him 40 years to acquire the level of power he has today.

Issei managed to not only gain his power in a short time, but he already did the impossible once in barely half a year after acquiring it.

Also Issei is a survivor as well as revealed in volume 20, as his parents had a child before him that died. while issei managed to survive his birth thanks to the sacred gear he was born with. So the truth is, he wasn't normal from birth.

Also, I go by proven facts shown in the series that haven't been retconned by the authors themselves later on. It has nothing to do with whether or not I like a character or not, it has to do with whether or not they have proven themselves worthy of the power or title and whether the author says its all true or its all a lie.
