Susanoo/Terumi. It's not just about holding an immense power, otherwise Relius Clover would be on here, since I always have to wonder whenever he smiles whenever he's defeated or the fact he can recreate a lot of things including Takemikazuchi just by looking at it, just.... How strong is he? I mean, he's been revealed in his dialogue with Nine that he was One from the earlier Ten Sages. And yet, he's not the most dangerous at all since he doesn't really care what goes on around him or interjects much in it. Anything that he does must have some interest for him to somewhat initiate and follow through. And from his track records so far, he just merely captures/beats up people and experiments on them if it happens to pique his interest. So it's all about the passion and desire in wanting to become the most dire threat, is what makes a person very dangerous. So going back to Susanoo/Terumi, he fits that exact bill. He wanted the true Blazblue so that he could create a world of hell. I mean, Izanami's purpose was just to bring death to the world and was just an extension of Noel's disappointment and sorrow against the world, so we all know what's her deal. And honestly, death and perm silence is much better than an eternal hell of suffering.

Because what I don't remember is, even though I just finished the CF game, is that did they ever mention why he wants to change the world besides wanting to escape Takamagahara's and Amaterasu's influence? Or why he wants to make people suffer and fear him?

@Kentaku He does ring a bell in somewhat being very dangerous due the fact that he can even bend/influence space time with his pure strength and will. But just pure strength doesn't mean anything if he doesn't understand the things around him. Like you said, he just doesn't have the mind for it, which is why he got beaten by both Kagura and Jin kinda pretty easily. That and no matter what your stance is, pure physical strength just does not beat any higher power such as magic or god-like powers. Besides, they never really pit him against the gods or even the other villains (besides Izanami), and was always set loose upon the "weak" unsuspecting heroes all the time. So we can't even truly gauge just how qualified he is to stand among the likes of Izanami, Terumi/Susanoo or even Relius Clover. Besides, he just wants a good fight. No different than a single-minded street brawler or gangster (which was most likely the influence for his design).
