My issue with the power charts is that although they do the best they can, power in this series isn't a strict linear progression. For example Touma isn't all that strong (without that invisible thing anyways) but because he's so skilled at using IB he can beat a lot of people higher up on the list then him. In short I'm saying although it shows how strong people are it doesn't show how powerful they are.... Am I making sense?

Although it's entirely possible that the new one does take all those factors into consideration, but I can't read Japanese so until someone makes a picture or translated version I'm not going to be able to read it. So if I'm sticking my foot into my mouth here let me know
and on the other hand, there's people who Touma can't do shit against, for example, Tsuchimikado, unless he lets the Invisible Thing loose.

And I'm getting what you mean; the table only considers two axis; the horizontal with the amount of people, and the vertical with the destructive power, but this chart doesn't consider the Rock paper Scissors relation

anyway, for some reason, I find many side characters more badass than the three protagonists:

- Heaven Canceller (in his own special way)
- Styl
- Aqua
- Knight Leader
- TSUCHIMIKADO, probably the greatest Motta fucka character ever, and not in a negative way

- Kihara Amata, not for being one of the worst humans, even as a character, but because of his detachment and violence (kinda how Vento realized why he would not fall victim of Divine Judgement, i think it was called?). Also, how his discussions with accelerator are so full of "bad" words was hilarious, despite the context

The three protagonists are awesome in their own way, but I guess that they are still too full of doubts, and are too immature
