@Lidor No one is using those stats as definitive proof as stats in general are very tricky (these in particular), but do you honestly believe that if Mashima considered those three main characters (not side characters, whom he could easily change his mind about) that much stronger he'd rank them lower in their stats? :/ Doesn't seem logical to me.
