I wonder if Makarov is even part of this power ranking that put Jura on the 5th place. After all they were gone for almost seven years and believed dead by many people.

Jura told Makarov that the meeting of Wizard Saints was happening soon and if there's any time they would compare their strength (and thus get Makarov "back into" the ranking) it'd be at that event.

Or it also have been just Ooba's opinion, rather than any "official" measurement.

Considering the feats we saw Jura and Makarov make, I think Makarov is still ahead of Jura. Maybe not in pure power, but in overall ability and versatility, which ought to count for something.
