Are we ever going to find out why Mugino is rank 4, and thus considered more valuable to the keikaku than Misaki?
You would think Mental Out would be far more useful to the keikaku just on manipulation factor alone. Where as Mugino just has destructive power, which Accel and Kakine more than cover

I feel like Mugino was supposed to do something important to further the Keikaku (fight Kakine more? Self destruct somwthing?), but Hamazura ended up preventing it through his actions. Same with Rikou.

Interesting. Her power wasn't important but maybe her personality/actions were going to be?

Something like that
I want to protect this smile
>>157408866
Mental Out is far more important, but Mugino would have easily killed Misaki in jealousy over the ranking.
>>157409888
I guess the digits confirm
>Crowley actually took into account how each Level 5 would react to the Rankings and structured them in a way that the more jealous/insane ones couldn't beat the people above them
>Gunha is actually super important but is ranked lowest because he is the one least likely to kill people for rank
>>157409977
>Touma ranked 0
How can this fucking baka be a final boss?
>>157408866
Isn't Misaki an accidental level 5? Like she wasn't supposed to survive after creating Exterior.
I don't think she was meant to do anything in the plan compared to the others, and Mugino could at least be used as a soldier.

The entire ranking system never even needed to be shared, come to think of it. Crowley could have kept it to himself, but he probably decided to release rankings because he knew it would increase jealousy and nurture conflict for Touma
Catching up on novel/threads
Ok, so I think the best way to handle Crowley is to put him in Blue border. Between blasting rod, archetype controller, and the multiple Crowley fuckery, it's just too hard to actually scale him in a concrete way. And it ends discussion on where he falls regarding the magic gods. Personally, I feel this better suits him anyway since his whole theme is more based on hard counters, keikakus, and using people's actions against themselves, rather than raw power. Plus more Touma parallels.
I took the suggestion of an anon a few months ago and made him Magic/Special as well. This is to maintain consistency with Noukan and further highlight his strange abilities/connections. I also made him En Masse for obvious reasons.
Everyone cool with that?

Another big change will be Lola. I'm going to denote that she is Coronzon and change her name, obviously. And perhaps make her special category? Not sure on that, open to discussion.
I also feel that she needs to be moved up, but I'm not sure where would be good. Thoughts?
This is the NT17 chart, to give you reference.

We do not know what power Lola has. It is necessary to wait NT19.
>And it ends discussion on where he falls regarding the magic gods
With Blasting Rod, Crowley at their level. +/- According to NT18, he uses their own strength and becomes stronger with BR.
>>157408866
She's a backup Mikoto, like how Kakine is a backup Accel
>>157408866
i dont think we will
