Actually, Metazoxan, that bit of information was revealed in Redhead's sidestory. I made note of it a while back on the Monsters page on this wiki. The comparison made was that someone who trained themselves and went through the effort to rank up end up being superior specimens compared to those who were born into their strength.U

Opushii DOES have the tattoo buff. It's drawn into her body with diamond.

Her Divine Blessings aren't more powerful just because they had a physical effect on her body. It's just one of the benefits of her particular Divine Blessing.

Monsters do not evolve to the point they "surpass" jobs and arts. They have their equivalents in the Job system. The Sovereigns (Kings and Emperors) are equaled by the Saint/Savior job classes. The difference in strength is decided by natural talent and Divine Blessings. The Hermit character (who only shows up in the LN, unforunately), for example, is capable of clearing a Great God dungeon (not sure if he has a party or not, but seeing as how he's called a Hermit, I'd say he's alone). Monsters are naturally stronger than humans, but that doesn't mean their top level of strength is out of reach. The difference in the promotion and evolution systems of rank up is simply to ensure that there are fewer monsters (but with exceptional individuals) and, on the other side, for there to be a lot of reliable soldiers on the human's side and even with the general quality of their exceptional individuals being a bit more individually inferior compared to monsters. In essencce, it's all about managing numbers.

Under Rou's care, everyone ends up being exceptional. You only need to look at examples like Dull Iron Knight or Gladiator King to see this. The difference doesn't exist when everyone is being rigorously trained up.

As for why I think Opushii has more potential; that's simply because she has a stronger basis than them. Mixbloods are strong, yeah, but let's not ignore how strong the base race is. It's like Tatsushiro being a powerful ancient dragon; by virtue of his race, he's already very powerful. Same with the Apostle Lord race. One of the requirements to even be an Apostle Lord is to be associated with a god. An Apostle Lord is an ancient, extinct race, same as Tatsushiro. Rou simply revived it.
