(Minor) Mid-Tier Update:
Mid-Tiers (Demon King Generals, Buffed Kazuma, Darkness, Wiz, etc.) currently scale at 8-C+, since Darkness scales above Combat Agent Six. The profile doesn't explain why, but in the thread where it was proposed to scale Darkness above Six, it is mentioned that it is because she survived being hit by Combat Agent Twenty-Two, who is comparable to Combat Agent Six.
While I agree that Darkness should scale above Six, I think she (and therefore all other mid-tiers) should be upgraded to High 8-C. Darkness not only survived Agent 22's hits, she tanked them, and they didn't even hurt her. She was even disappointed that she didn't feel any pain. The guy even hurt his hands hitting her. So, considering that Darkness should be far superior to him, and given that the 8-C+ feat is 1.76 Tons of TNT, Darkness should scale to at least 2 Tons of TNT (High 8-C Baseline), the difference is x1.13, so it seems reasonable to me.
Kazuma returns to 10-A:
Could Kazuma go back to 9-C? Nah.
As a result of this, all characters that scale from Kazuma will also be downgraded.
More about Giant Toads:
Obviously, everything related to Giant Toads will also be removed from Megumin's and Aqua's profiles. Both profiles use scans from the (non-canon) anime to argue that they're comparable to Giant Toads. Furthermore, their feats are invalid anyway.
Magical Light and Magical Lightning:
Several spells are based on light, which is referred to as "magical light." There is also a type of magic called "Lightning Magic" that is used to shoot lightning (duh). In this thread I won't try to update the speed of characters that react to these attacks, since for that I'll have to do some calculations. For now, the goal is to have light and lightning of magical nature accepted as comparable to their natural counterparts and to update characters' Attack Speed.
Now, as for the evidence...
Magic Lightning:
Current Standards.
- "Cloud-to-ground lightning is considered to be real lightning, as long as there is nothing suggesting otherwise": Magical lightning bolts can be summoned from the clouds if the character so desires.
- "Flowing through conducting materials": It is mentioned that lightning magic flows through metal. Additionally, the electricity from one of these spells flows through water and electrocutes many people in the Dust spin-off.
- "Making muscles of affected beings contract": I guess this counts.
- "Being shown to actually move with a speed similar to lightning": I'm not sure if this counts, but on one occasion, a magical lightning bolt quickly reaches the sky after being fired.
Magical Light:
Current Standards.
- "The beam behaves in a reasonably realistic way, such as reflecting off non-magical mirrors or refracting and diffusing through liquids and materials": It does.
- "The beam is stated to be composed/consisting of photons or light itself, again by reliable sources": It is not stated to be composed of photons, but it is possible to demonstrate this. Magical light is capable of temporarily blinding people; this occurs because exposure to bright light causes a shock to the photoreceptors, so this should prove that magical light is composed of photons.
Lightning Magic Spells:
- Lightning (Users: Yunyun and Kazuma)
- Lightning Strike (Users: Yunyun and Wiz)
- Cursed Lightning (Users: Yunyun and Wiz)
All of these characters should receive "Massively Hypersonic+ Attack Speed with (Name of the spell they use)".
Light-based Spells:
- Light of Saber (Users: Wiz and Yunyun)
- Crimson Laser (Users: Duke)
- Explosion (Users: Megumin, Wiz, Wolbach, and Kazuma)
- Turn Undead (Users: Aqua)
- Sacred Exorcism (Users: Aqua)
- Vanir Death Ray (Users: Vanir)
- Sacred Lightning Flare (Users: Iris)
- Sacred Explode (Users: Iris)
- Flash (Users: Kazuma)
And I think that's all of them... All of those characters should receive "Speed of Light Attack Speed with (Name of the spell they use)".
Absolutely necessary revision... okay, I'm just being a perfectionist: Some profiles have names that need to be changed.
- Host's name is misspelled.
- Chris is Eris's alter ego, so the profile should probably be called "Eris" instead of Chris.
- Kazuma and Iris's first names should come before their last names.
9-B and Class M:
I almost forgot about this.
This calculation was accepted, and Aqua can damage Mitsurugi, so she should scale to Wall level and Class M (the latter because the "strength" statistic within the verse encompasses both striking and lifting strength, meaning that a character comparable to another in one of the two aspects will also be comparable in the other, and a character superior to another in one of the two aspects will also be superior in the other).
Darkness should scale to "at least Class M." She can overpower Aqua, and considering her tier, she should be far superior to Mitsurugi and Aqua. Any character with a higher Tier than Aqua should also upscale above Mitsurugi's feat.
And well, that's all for now.

Kazuma returns to 10-A:
The Giant Toads in the anime are much larger than in the novel, so this calculation can't be applied to the novel, but leaving aside the fact that the anime isn't currently accepted as canon: Kazuma admits that he only managed to kill it because the Giant Toad was busy swallowing Aqua and didn't fight back. Not to mention how inconsistent this is, Giant Toads easily overpower Aqua, an adventurer with high stats. Darkness also states that Giant Toads are strong, but are easy to stab and do not defend themselves against anyone wearing armor, which explains why Kazuma can kill them.
Could Kazuma go back to 9-C? Nah.
This is a bad translation; the official translation says Kazuma held the three men, not dragged them. Only one attempted (unsuccessfully) to escape. This would also lower his LS to "Above Average Human," since he at least surpasses normal humans and is still of a considerable level.
Actually, he was injured by the fall, and he had also been buffed by Aqua, which is why he had managed to surpass Darkness in strength minutes earlier.
As a result of this, all characters that scale from Kazuma will also be downgraded.

Giant Toads' attacks rely on immobilizing their prey with their mouths and slowly swallowing them; Aqua isn't taking hits from them or anything.
This is simply because the staff got stuck in the Toad's mouth. Megumin wasn't even able to move at this point, as she had just cast her explosion magic and had no mana. Shortly after, Kazuma had to give her some mana so Megumin could stand up."Even after using up all her Mana, she managed to block out a Giant Toad's mouth with her staff"
