I was going to point out that Mugino is a female too but then I remembered she's manly enough for all the Level 5's and protagonists combined. Maybe it has more to do with being Tokiwadai Ojou-sama's with no significant dark side connections or combat experience?

Not so shocked at Misaki's problem (Panther > her makes perfect sense).
But for the Level 0's > Level 5's thing, examples are of course Touma > Accelerator (Does. Not. Count), Hamazura > Mugino (actually a decent example!), and this is in the context of Mikoto struggling. But yeah the male level 5's feel invulnerable compared to the females in general. Gunha is supposedly invulnerable in the literal sense (gunshot wound to the heart? No prob! GUTS!). Accelerator reflects things perfectly, and Kakine now has the whole brood thing down pat. A mention of Gunha having problems too would have mitigated the unfortunate implications. It's not like the To Aru verse is particularly sexist. Most (all but one?) of the Saints are women and Othinus herself is the current Big Bad. Clearly Accelerator just needed to be female to even things out on the science side. |

But that specific text points out that heroes can overturn things even against higher levels. So, even Mikoto will meet defeat if one of those heroes ends pulling the awesome card from their sleeves. |

maybe because the heroes are being artificially influenced they can not awaken your heroic power to change the situation in their support, or they belong to the lowest category of heroes, you know, the shitmen that has good convictions.

I thought that response from Biribiri was very out of character... she wants to preserve life at all costs, even Misaki's. I suppose the problem was that the story wasn't taking the threat from a big cat like that seriously enough. They can F*** you up horrifically, and FAST.
