nothing, this was mentioned way back in volume 1, it's not like Houki was ever shown to really suck in a fight, except that one time with a training suit, but then again, it's a training suit.

Can't we just say that Ichika is actually very skilled, but just that the fact that his Second Shift Byaku Shiki just sucks too much? I can't see Ichika losing to Houki if he goes all out in a good IS.

I'm inclined to say she was hold back due to her inexperience with the IS. Why the government put her in the Academy forcefully without providing her with initial training or a personal IS or at least an easy access to training IS is beyond me. Tatenashi said that she's good at teaching, so I don't see any reason Houki can't be better at piloting, because she trained differently by different teacher Regarding the 'S' rank, just pretend you're watching Gundam I can also say I can't see Houki losing to Ichika, seeing both Akatsubaki and Byaku Shiki consume too much energy in their 1st Shift and 2nd Shift respectively. They were last in the race in vol 6. Besides, Ichika couldn't beat her in kendo training

What makes people remark that she turns into a canon sue is the fact that she literally jumps from lowest rank to highest rank during the fight with the golems, it would've been more realistic if her rank slowly went up or she didn't immediately jump to S rank during the fight but somewhere lower like A or B. Most personal IS pilots are trained for years and they tend to go up only to the high A ranking whereas Houki reached S rank in the middle of a fight which makes it hard for some to swallow. I personally have no problems with any character no matter how high their power level gets. Phantom task members have shown themselves capable of handling multiple IS units even when they're outnumbered so I'm not really worried about the characters going god mode sue |

Houki was never really at the bottom, if I recall correctly, Cecilia's been at the bottom since Volume 1 when Ichika, well, you know... Here, remember the Gospel incident? Well, based on their individual performances there you can clearly see that even when she just got Akatsubaki she was already displaying skills that can't be said to belong to someone who is supposedly at the bottom. I hope it's 100% cleared at this point, I swear I'll eat the chair I'm sitting on if it's not.

I'd like to as well, so far I've only met people like Chifuyu, Cecilia, and Ichika.

@ Detective- They do matter somewhat, It's mentioned that all IS pilot representatives need a high aptitude to be picked and stay in their position, Cecilia even worries in volume 5 since her ranking is A- she could possibly be replaced with someone else, so it's either the author forgot that the aptitude doesn't matter at all or its a retcon
*Sits back and waits for box to start eating his chair* @Wavehawk- I met girls somewhat like her but I still had traces of gynophobia back then so I didn't really try to pay to much attention to them. |

If you want to call someone Over Powered, make sure he/she is not hittable, and can beat everything/everyone without any effort, which is no one in the IS verse, yet. And being hostile? If the author had choose another girls to be the main, say Rin, or Cecilia, and got the same treatment as Houki, I would still defend her.

*eats chair*
Anyway, the fact that aptitude is important in choosing representative candidates is no different from your grades in school, meaning, they really don't matter when you get to the real thing, which in IS means, an IS battle, which is definitely true considering aptitude is based on your sync with a simple training IS.

I guess I was misinformed other sites I've gone to remark that she jumped during the fight itself and without a volume translation then I couldn't exactly confirm, I concede to your superior knowledge Like I said before, I have no problems with the characters no matter how strong they get. With wht we've seen of Phantom Task they're gonna need it |
