Currently, Azrael is Moon to Planet level: his justification is as follows.
"Jin Kisaragi stated that he's never seen a punch like Azrael's pack so much weight behind it. Both Ragna and Kokonoe state that his strength is monstrous"
There's a few problems here. For starters, Jin had never seen one of the Moon to Planet level characters in the series throw a punch like that, up to that point, so it being better than anything he had seen up to that point doesn't mean much. Kokonoe saying his strength is monstrous doesn't necessarily equate to "greater than me", either, anyone's power could be "monstrous" if it was potentially able to cause massive collateral damage. She could full well consider her own power "monstrous", too.
The main issue, though, is quite simply a logistic one. Azrael is currently listed as being in the same general weight class as 100% Hakumen, Hades Izanami, Terumi with the Susano'o Unit, etc. However, the main conflict in which he is involved in the story mode of the third game, ChronoPhantasma, in which he battles Ragna and Kagura Mutsuki. The entire point of that fight was that Ragna was purposefully avoiding tapping into the Black Beast's power and fighting Azrael in base form alone: this is around the same time as Ragna's "What is my own power?" discussion with Celica: basically, him finally learning to stand on his own. Unless you mean to tell me that Base!Ragna is stronger than both himself when amped with the Azure Grimoire and all of the above, this doesn't add up: Kagura being that strong as well, doubly so.
As it stands, Base!Azrael is in the same realm, generally, as 20% Hakumen's "An unknown amount above the Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi's 11.625 Teraton" value. An unrestricted Azrael: if we're to take his "He only used 1/8th his real power" thing literally: would be far above 93.0 Teratons of TNT. This translates to Country level+, likely Large Country level.
TL,DR: If Azrael was as strong as the overarching big bad of the entire series when he fought Base Ragna and Kagura, they wouldn't have at least held their own. They would've become red paste.
