Also, the whole deal with great red doesn't count either.

All Great Red did was merge with Issei, he still doesn't do anything.

It was Issei that still fought and defeated the Jabberwocky, all that Great Red did is give him access to his energies. And if you recall Issei managed to find a way around the limitation of firing the Longinus Smasher (which issei shouldn't even be able to use without the power of great red, as it would drain all his energy and potentially even kill him if he ever fired it again). And thats something nobody else in the series could ever pull off, not even Super-Devils, other dragons or even Gods. As the Longinus Smasher is the single most powerful attack in the series as its capable of destroying most if not all of existence if ever fired at full power. And yet issei manages to do just that.

Also by the time Highschool DxD ex happens, Issei is able to fully copy the power of Great Red without his or Ophis's help. Meaning that he has achieved Almighty Replication as well.
