Gojo Satoru has the most powerful students in jujutsu history. He also scores lower than the volleyball team manager from Haikyuu. This index explains why.
The expected top 3 by fan perception: Gojo Satoru, All Might, Kakashi Hatake. The actual top 3 by formula: Koro-sensei (9.70), Biscuit Krueger (8.74), Izumi Curtis (8.69). The formula weights curriculum design and availability most heavily — two dimensions where the most powerful characters systematically score near-zero. Gojo: 3.20. All Might: 4.23. Kakashi: 5.47. Iruka Umino, the chunin Academy teacher with no famous battles: 7.62.

The joke character turns out to have been doing the real work. Guy scores 10/10 on student survival, 8/10 on emotional intelligence (the Rock Lee recovery arc is one of the most attentive teacher moments in Naruto), and 9/10 on availability. Kakashi: 3/10 on equitable attention. The formula is not impressed by a Sharingan.
Iruka's 7.62 beats the combined average of Gojo (3.20), All Might (4.23), and Kakashi (5.47) — which is 4.30. He has no Sharingan, no Six Eyes, no One For All. He has 10/10 availability, 10/10 student survival, and 9/10 emotional intelligence. He is the first adult in Naruto who treats Naruto like a child. That is measurable. That is pedagogy.
Takeda's direct contribution to skill development is minimal (outcome delta: 2/10). He secures match schedules and finds coaches. But he scores 10/10 on availability, 10/10 on student survival, 9/10 on equitable attention. Gojo: imprisoned, no curriculum, extreme favoritism. Reliable presence for every student beats intermittent genius for one. That is the thesis of this entire index.
