Ultraman Max Episode 22: Butterfly Dream
Hey there folks! Before starting, I'd like to explain the premise of the episode first so that you guys could have a better understanding of what I'm revising here and who actually scales to it.
Link to the episode is here.
Premise
The episode follows a writer who falls asleep while working and begins dreaming that he is the character Kaito from the Ultraman Max TV series. In his dreams, Kaito interacts with a mysterious woman who is creating a powerful monster called Madeus that can feed on dreams and destroy the world. The writer realizes he is dreaming himself as Kaito, and when he wakes up, he finds himself actually living out the events of the Ultraman Max story. Kaito and the writer become interchangeable, with the writer able to edit the script and influence the events of the show. Madeus is summoned into the real world, and as the writer wakes up, the mysterious woman who created the monster appears in his room.
The Upgrade
We are shown that there is, in fact, a Real World in the wider multiverse of the Ultra Series, with Mr. Hanusuma being one of those creators. They view the series as blatant fiction and have the power to totally change the outcome of the episodes by manipulating its script. Kaito, at the end of the episode, switched places with Mr. Hanusuma and was able to help him defeat Madeus after he transformed into Ultraman Max by making him explode Madeus from the inside.
Who scales, and what does this change? Absolutely nothing, as the only ones who scale to the Plot Manipulation and 1-A (?) are the writers like Mr. Hanusuma, who can freely change the scripts of the Ultra Series and Madeus who is in the same realm as Mr. Hanusuma. The writers' abilities are indeed metafictional, as we see them directly involving the scripts and narrative of the Ultraman Max story. Mr. Hanusuma also gets Summoning via Dream Manipulation, as he can summon kaijus just by dreaming about them in the Real World.

Minor Revision
Now, who scales to this? The God of Ultras, who only got the possibly rating the same as Tartarus, like Ultraman King.
The minor revision is canceled and has been changed into this thread instead.
