Othinus is still better not because she did bad things or because she's a waifu, but because her development was better and had an impact. She has done more than Mikoto has. This is not because Othinus is superior as a waifu, but because the author has basically treated Mikoto on par with Index. They are only included if they are meant to solve something. She isn't usually included with the ongoing rambling of the cast to really see what her goals are or what she wants to do. Does tragic events change her? Does love make her a better person? We just get a tsundere act without much of a follow up because she is sort of like the Mario of the series. Too beloved by fans and for the brand to be given a personality. Luigi can be strong, scared, and useless. But Mikoto? She has to be a constant throughout the series. Maybe in the next volume her character will grow. But as it stands, she is still the sad girl who can't tell the guy she likes because she gets violent. Sure she saves people, but her person doesn't change. She goes back to her same old self much as Touma.
