One of life's cruelest truths, Josuke, is that you never really recover from being tonked by Watchdog Man.

You just have to learn to live with it.

Neither of these things change the fact that he is dunked on constantly and does not deserve his S ranking.

Genos has more wins than losses. Also he consistently kills Demons which is like the only requirement for S rank.

Not to mention he's still more powerful than someone like Puri-puri Prisoner, and any A Rank Hero we've seen so far..

lmao have you seen everyone else in the Heroes Association below him? Sweet Mask is probably the one person with Remarkable Strength not in S Rank, maybe Fubuki at 100%. Apparently theres a ONE interview where he says that Genos is in even in the upper tier of S Rank, Idk if I believe that but Genos has more than earned his keep.

A good Jobber has to be shown as strong and competent most of the time, or it doesn't mean anything when they job to the proper villain.

Therefore Genos is strong and competent most of the time, unless it's an opponent Saitama is going to be (or has been) fighting.

Yeah, that's very true. And then there are fights where he loses horribly, like with Watchdog Man. Thank goodness for his unexplained ability to grow stronger and faster just by beating people up or by being beaten up.

Yeah, this is accurate. Go re-read the tournament arc, after a point he leaves to go kill monsters and spends like half of the chapter just mercing demon-classes before that cockroach and Monster Association one beat him.

People say that Genos sucks and doesn't deserve his ranking but he only really seems to get dunked on by insanely powerful opponents that other s rank fighters have trouble dealing with. Dude's just got bad luck in his fights.

Genos is the clear weakest link in the principal OPM cast, which is a shame because he'd be a solid contender in any other manga but he's up against some characters in this series who are just so far and away the greatest that he can't compare.

It's a bit like Mob Psycho where there are so many elite level ultimate best boys but they're not best boy because the best boy in Mob Psycho is the best boy in anything ever, including IRL.

I think the problem with S rank is that it goes from PriPri Prisoner, who I don't think has won a fight yet against any real threats, to Tatsumaki, who is the most powerful hero we've seen yet and arguably could've brought down Boros' ship by herself if Saitama hadn't beaten her to it. It's hard to gauge who does and does not belong in S rank when your top and bottom are so far apart.

I mean, I think we can safely say Watchdog Man belongs there, given that he keeps the most dangerous (non-Z) city under control on his own. Though some of the people above him are surprising, I think it's at least fair to say that those around or above his level definitely "deserve" to be S-Class.

Pri-Pri-Prisoner, though, seems like a high A-Class at best, yeah. I wonder if he placed there directly; I doubt he'd have gotten past Sweet Mask if he had to work his way up, but at the same time he doesn't seem like he should have placed there outright either, so, I don't know.

How do you gauge Pri Pri prisoners strength anyway? He fought the sea king and lost but we don't really know just how powerful the sea king was

Beyond that all I remember is him getting some good hits in on that mudmonster in the boros saga

He seems clearly above any of the A-class besides Sweet Mask. Even Fubuki at 100% is unlikely to be able to stop him.
