Honestly, that's pretty much just a manufactured 'weakness' in an attempt to make it seem like he's not the all-powerful god of the setting. It's like how the emotionally gimped aspect supposedly makes him awkward socially (as repeatedly emphasised by Imouto-sama in earlier volumes) but then whenever he interacts with others they're all blown away by how mature and smooth he is. Sure he loses in 'practice' matches and whatnot but whenever it's a fight that actually matters he'll never lose so it's not really an issue.

pretty sure he had his rampage stopped by kazama, and his ass handed to him by kazama as well. Tatsuya's serious fights, other than those against Lina weren't against top notch magicians, and had Lina not been so soft, she definitely could've beaten him. Im not saying that Tatsuya isn't immensely powerful, just that he is not unbeatable.

That makes absolutely no sense, Katsuto is the heir of his clan, Tatsuya is one of the most powerful magicians in the entire world, how can you compare Mayumi or Mari to them ? Even the combination of both would lose to them. And how is Erika and Leo not A rank ? Especially Erika.(I'm not ranking them according to magic power but fighting prowess, just making sure i clarified that)

Is there any Korean characters well known in this series?
Because I skip some parts In the novel, I might have missed it. Just like any light novels, why there are no Korean characters? Even Chinese characters shows up in some novels, so why not Koreans? |

Weird? I thought the Korea is gone and the country name is changed to Dahan.
And Tatsuya blew up that place was not Korea, but it was actually Dahan. I must have misread it then. Seriously China absorbed Korea and in the series, and Korean are just nameless soldiers. At least give out the certain Korean names. |

Hmm... no, sorry , I don't see that happening. Mahouka doesn't exactly have a good track record of badass enemies.
The people from school are all incompetent fools, stand corrected or are constructive allies or friends The Ichijou heir is a joke character by now The white tiger guy, after all the hype, gets horribly trashed twice in a row, the second time lethally I think. Talk about a disappointment Lina is a friend Kudou Retsu, a political badass as we are informed, is forced into retirement for real after one single plot that's not even malevolent towards the Shibas (Wait, didn't he tell Kazama about a plan to get Tatsuya away from Miyuki? What ever happened to that?) The Yotsuba phantom menace? They've been surprisingly supportive considering their introduction as the oppressive boogeyman and Maya even stated they won't ever risk Tatsuya's resentment Is anyone else left? Kouichi? I can't see him as anything but a tool. The Chinese Saint? Considering how well anything he or his subordinates touched so far went, I'm not holding my breath. |

2-Miyuki 3-Minami 4-Hanzo, Sawaki (both are confirmed stronger than Tomitsuka but I think Sawaki is stronger since Hanzo isn't specialized in 1VS1) 5-Tomitsuka 6-Mikihiko 7-Kanon, Erika, Leo 8-Morisaki, Kirihara, Shizuku The twins and Shippou are weaker than all of them but it's because they lack training or they would be at Minami's level. They will probably reach that level after the 9SC as implied by Shizuku and Honoka. Honoka and the rest are talented but not good fighters. |

At least he was in the top 5 before the Shiba siblings arrival and was certain to be able to beat anyone but the 3rd year trio. Probably that the ranking before their arrival was: Katsuto, Mayumi/Mari, Sawaki/Hanzo(far behind those 3 of course ). We know nothing about his family excepted that he is descendant of Hattori Hanzo. If he was from the Numbers I think it would have been mentioned in the first volumes. Spoiler for Quote:

Rereading vol 3. Apparently non-standardized flight is considered to be a superpower. Any chance of the superpower users becoming relevant in the future? To be honest I'm sort of fed up of magic power elitists and hundred family scrubs. Also was it ever confirmed if superpower users are the same as BS magicians?

I thought about Mibu too, she is stronger than Honoka for sure. For me it's like that: 1-Your genetics, obviously. 2-Your affinities( may be talented but not fit for combat, like Honoka and Ayako, though Ayako should be superior to most magicians less talented than her in combat) 3-Physical abilities, weaponry, martial arts, training and other factors not considered to rate the MP(ESP, superpowers ancient magic). Leo is one of the best examples, he is a tank and Erika thought he might be able to beat Hanzo or Kiirihara with a good weapon, though I am convinced he is stronger than Kirihara I don't think he is close to Hanzo's level. I don't think even Tatsuya can beat him at CQC without using his specialized magics. |
