Question: Should any of the Ten Great Saints be 6-C aside from Hinata?
- Point #1: Only Sare has a "feat" of claiming to have nearly killed Roy Valentine. Hinata judges him as "wouldn't do too bad if he fights against a Demon Lord."
- Counterpoint #1: Hinata actually laughed at the former, and said that Roy probably was being careless.
- Counterpoint #2: Razen is superior to Sare (and Grigori), and they are his disciples. We know Razen got easily defeated by 6-C Rimuru and unnamed Diablo.
- Counterpoint #3: They are all weaker than Gadra, who is on Ranga's level according to Grigori's estimate.
- Point #2: Hinata describes the Ten Saints to "have a rather good chance to win against opponents such as Demon Lord Clayman. Additionally, Rimuru in Volume 12 remarks that Sages like Arno are capable of fighting Clayman.
- Counterpoint #1: Hinata has yet to meet Clayman. Ruminas might have told her about him though.
- Counterpoint 2: Arno, Reynald and Grigori was described by Hinata to "stand a chance against a Special A Rank monster". Arno lost to Special A Rank Albert (though tbf Albert can probably beat Clayman as well according to Rimuru), Reynald lost to Shion, and Grigori got mauled by Ranga.
- Point #3:Glenda was able to harm Souei's clones, killing three of them.
- Counterpoint: Souei's clones are weaker than him in an unknown amount.
Basically, it's necessary to determine their most accurate tier through more concrete evidence, especially since this would affect Razen's ratings, which would affect Noir's ratings. I'm neutral and wouldn't mind if they get downgraded to
Large Mountain level+ or everyone keeps their
Island level rating, and thus both Razen and Noir would get
6-C in their first keys.
