I am... kinda confused about how things will go.

What I mean is this... Ginko is terrifyingly physically strong, but she has no magic, the humans of this world can empower their bodies with magic, and the demons have naturally strong bodies but use a lot of magic too.

The "new" demons are really strong, to the point many heroes aren't able to deal with them, even the high-level ones... but somehow Ginko can, just with her physical strength... and that does click in my mind well.

With the witch I can understand... her magic is pretty much undefendable, but Ginko not having mana is immune, ok pretty easy to understand.

But somehow Ginko has been shown to physically overpower heroes and demons alike... but it does feel like she should be able to be entirely immune to magic altogether, which she isn't.

I may be thinking too much, but I think it is because this story hints at an explanation and reason for all of that, but... it doesn't seem like that explanation will ever come.

But don't get me wrong, this doesn't ruin the story in the slightest, I am just theory crafting so to speak, and wanted to write my thoughts.
Basically: Ginko only has Raw Physicality to work with, she cant enhance her strength, senses, or agility with magic. since everyone native to Ginko's Hell are using magic in addition to some physicality besides Elf Nun, no one actually has the Mastery of their physicality that Ginko has, and even the greatest demons wouldnt have developed the type of battle experience that someone who has lived their entire life training, or on the front lines of mideval war would.

so while Ginko isnt necessarily stronger, faster, or more perceptive then her opponents, they dont have the practice being at Full Strength that she does. Further, shes fought with and against bows, crossbows, guns, and cannonfire, so alot of the advantages spellcasting offers a user in versatility, cant catch her off guard.

Ginko is not immune to offensive magic at all. shes not, as we see, going to just shrug off extreme heat, corrosive agents, extreme pressure, or penetrative strikes that come from directions she doesnt expect. shes immune to Transmutation and Enchantment, not Conjuration and Evocation.

the only reason why she isnt fully immune from magic is because the hero witch regened Ginko's arm after Ginko cut off her own arm because of what she did to the hero witch. if that heal didnt happen she'd be fully immune to magic. this is why the one bad guy witch was able to sightly transform Ginko into an oni

She has the brute force at or above orcs, combined with a terrifying lethality that exceeds the conscious thought of even the demons. Doppel guy might be the best at matching her in that lethality, and he's constantly on the backfoot relying on his other powers.

He'll be beaten two-fold: because the other heroes are clearing out the minions, and because wounding Gingko will not really make her easier to beat.
