That was fast

Suzaku literally exists as a hype tool. He scales to Human Selene as shown in their battle. The biggest feat in the verse is a direct result of her powering up to face him. Yea? An he took all those attack and was able to keep trading blows. No break, no let's do other stuff then finish the fight; he kept going and traded her blows for his own. Later showings don't matter, because this battle is set in stone and he scales to the feats in that battle.
The entire DDSK squad exists as a hype tool. Kirin is the big dog of their squad. I get it, yall like Suzaku better, and he's honestly a cooler character. People like Erza better too. She's still below Laxus in the pecking order, always has been, and all the feats she has accomplished that are power feats, he could do. Gildarts could do. That's not something you argue about is it?
So why are we arguing about Suzaku? He himself states they're all on his level. Selene tells us that Kirin is the top dog, so does Misaki, so does Kirin. He scales to that fight, because he's stated as the strongest of them. Misaki and Haku scales because we are told they are his equals. Laxus won. He went from trading blows, and pushing Kirin to use his weapons hax, to completely blowing him away after his power up. Laxus scales above everything shown in that battle, and that was before he got the new amp. Every feat Suzaku gets hypes his equals. They in turn hype those who beat them. (Erza, Natsu, Laxus, Wendy's enchantments) So yeah. they are all stronger than what we see from Human Selene in that battle.
