I'll be writing just a few counters, as I don't have that much time.

For the anime, I can't say much as you haven't mentioned Asta's plot. But you said Burn only got surpassed by Gran; who says Gazel isn't better? And I'm not gonna lie! Burn's shoots were quite impressive! But so was Asta, the only thing is that Burn appeared twice, and Asta only appeared in the InaDan movie.

For the stats, I think I can safely say it's mainly about Block, Stamina and Lucky now? The rest is equal, or not needed to be mentioned. Asta's Block is still low, I admit. But it's higher than Burn's...and this is just automatically a good thing? Yes, you do have a point on that it's still very low, but hey, it's an advantage over Burn. And when you use a (fully-evolved?) Asterisk Rock with him, I bet it still steals the ball back easily. Something Burn isn't capable of.

And as I said, the difference in importance between Dribbling and Block is discussable; Asta clearly wins this point, his only weakness is he doesn't have a dribble hissatsu. But Burn doesn't have a block hissatsu (BLOCKING SHOOT!), and someone who played the game can assure you; a forward with a block hissatsu is very useful.

Furthermore, let's talk about the hissatsu again. Asterisk Rock, as I mentioned earlier, is a shoot block. This can definitely be very useful, IF Asta stands in the right place (which can really occur at times!). Asterisk's Rock Keshin Damage is also bigger than Spark Edge Dribble's.

Dimension Storm has a higher Shibire Damage than Atomic Flare. It's also a shoot block. I see you said Burn has a less one-minded moveset; but Asta has 2 shoot blocks and one chain shoot? I'd like that to be explained..

(And for the record, Burn's Mixi-Max allows him to choose 2 hissatsu from Gazel AND he gains Chouwaza!, which means he gets 3 hissatsu. But as Asta doesn't have such a best match mixi-max, I don't think it's debatable. Nor are Keshin.)
