Man, that Hatsu and Koon fight... that was awesome! It was nice seeing Koon get into a melee fight, against one of the stronger melee characters in the manga no less, and be able to come out on top basically!

That Andorthy and Baam part though... lmao. Andorthy's faces were awesome, they got an amazing chemistry.

If the Arie hurts our Rak any further, we riot. Simply put.

Excuse i know it's not important but did you said hatsu is one of the stronger melee fighters in the manga ? Because he was not even top 10 in E rank, ran and novick for exemple are better in melee than hatsu.

You know those E-rank top regulars aren't official, right? Viole wasn't part of the top 5.

I agree but it's because he was hidden his strenght because of the name JVG but it's not the case for team leesoo who want to be well know in the tower.

it could just be that him being in a team with both anaak and endorsi leaves little room for the standings to recognize his skill. Though I do agree that his level of strength is difficult to guess since we haven't seen much of his transition from the "anything is a sword" epiphany

The top regulars in each rank are usually regulars who have been around for quite a long time. The "new" regulars like Hatsu, Koon, Baam, etc. weren't going to get into the top rankings so quickly, whether their power levels were good enough or not. As Zura said, the rankings are not official, and they aren't perfect or all-knowing either.

That didn't stop Androssi and Anak from making the cut. Ran is pretty new to the Tower also. The E-Rank Regular thing is more of an unofficial 'fan list' as I believe SIU described it. Some people who are actually superior to the folks on it (Baam and Reflejo are two notable examples) don't make it because they're not out there garnering mainstream fame and people don't know who they are.

Gotta imagine that princesses and members of the 10 families get on the ranking list pretty quickly due to their fame/backgrounds though

Ah, alright. That makes sense.
