We all know that Oshino is Somewhat strong, but how strong he really is?

Iirc, he was able to get hold of Kiss Shot, Acerola Orion, Heart Under Blade. If that was true, then it already goes to show just how damn strong he is.

I think he's stronger than Episode, Guillotinecutter, Dramaturgie and Araragi combined, And also probably he's just hiding his true strength throughout the series as he always tell the ways/negotiate to solve the problem to Araragi and not actually participates in solve the problem with him.
(correct me if I'm wrong)

There is no doubt about Oshino being strong.

Some instances justifying it include
- Single handedly stopping all three vampire hunters
- He was able to take kiss shot's heart without her even noticing
- His Talisman at North Shirahebi Shrine was successfully able to control the apparations there
- His Talisman killed Seishirou in a split second

But In my opinion he is not the strongest in the monogatari universe.
There are some characters who seem stronger than him such as Kiss Shot, Kagenui and Araragi himself.
Moreover, if I recall correctly, he was unable to exorcise Black Hanekawa.

I wouldn’t say he’s necessarily strong more so ridiculously skilled, I envision him as sort of a ruler/overseer so it’s more like he has to be naturally the goat in order to strike balance with apparitions. So I’d say it’s more the role he’s been given/the role he has more than just his own strength alone if that makes sense

just like the comment above me said , he seems skilled but not absurdly strong , he lost to Black Hanekawa , in the alternative timeline he along with the other group of exorcists all lost vs Kiss shot .. seems like he uses his knowledge more than raw strength, however he's not weak either from what it seems so far

Oshino lost on purpose, he could have beat Black Hanekawa on their first encounter if that was an acceptable outcome.

As always, he's just being himself, same with Senjougahara's crab. If he really serious about it, he'd have resolved it instantly, but he doesn't.

“People have to save themselves. One person saving another is impossible.” or smth like that.

oh.. you're right , I forgot that he can't just defeat her since that won't solve the original issue , same as with hitagi , as the Cat/crab are both manifestations of what they have going inside of them and not solving the main issues will lead to more problems.. them saving themselves is a must..

Well to answer OP's question, how strong is he? I'd say In terms of his physical strength,  he blocked Dramaturgy's and Episode's attacks and stole Kiss-Shot's heart without her realizing, so he's strong enough.

but what makes him strong is his knowledge, as even being called a genius, he's the cleverest of out of two both Kagenui and Kaiki, maybe the greatest occult genius their school's club has ever had.

To quoted what the LN says;

"The cleverest of us, though, was Oshino. Even though he was also the least serious, always messing with different girls, what a joker. No one ever saw him do any studying to save his life, but we all reckoned he was the biggest genius the club had ever seen. Even Kaiki kept his distance when it came to Oshino..."

That was amazing.

I had Oshino all wrong.

I could give two shits about him being clever or a genius or whatever, but if he could make Kaiki think twice, then the man had my undying respect."
