User blog comment:Gilgamesh79/72 Pillars Origin/@comment-30924344-20171203202155

@B214 I found something weird I believe. So looking on Ishi's blog and upon seeing the Bael and Agares clans I see this for both of em:

大王（旧七十二柱序列１位）　－Great king－

大公 (旧七十二柱序列２位)    －Archduke－

And also this for the 72 Pillars: 旧七十二柱

Now I am pretty sure 旧七十二柱 means "former 72 pillars" and this is what Ishibumi put under the "Former 72 Pillars section":

※「断絶」と書かれている家はすでに消滅しています. ※序列＝強さとは必ずも限りませんが、１５位から上が強いのは確かです. 現在、この序列はレーティングゲームの流行のせいであまり意味をなしておりません. あくまで「旧」序列です.

I got a key point from it which is "Currently, this ranking is not very meaningful due to the outbreak of rating games. It is the "old" hierarchy to the last".
