Ore dake Level Up na Ken Season 2: Arise from the Shadow Episode 4 Discussion

We are talking about the anime, specifically whether the anime is conveying a logical flow of information or not. In the anime, there is no indication that shadows are weaker. The anime suggests that they are the same as their original form, and that they can level up also.

In the anime, gate ranking also determines the boss's strength and nothing suggests otherwise. An A-rank gate has an "A-rank" boss in strength. If we use the rationale that this doesn't hold, then the boss in an A-rank gate can be weaker than the boss in a C-rank gate. This goes against the logic of the story. Furthermore:

Jinho claims that you need to be a top C-rank at least to beat a C-rank boss (which clearly indicates that a "C-rank" boss in strength is associated with a C-rank gate). Extrapolating this, a top A-rank is able to clear an A-rank gate. Jinwoo was top B-rank when he fought Kang, who was another top B-rank. He fought the equivalent of a B-rank boss in strength. He leveled up significantly since then. He fought a high A-rank (Igris) during the job change quest. He then leveled up significantly since that point also, and fought enemies stronger.

There is no indication that the ranking of a gate for a single person is different to the ranking of a gate that anybody can enter. Again, we are talking about the anime. In the anime, Jinwoo even says before entering the Demon Castle in season 1 episode 7 - "if so, what awaits me inside will be magic beasts similar to those on Jeju island" - a message indicating to the audience that the monsters are comparable in strength regardless of who the gate was designed for.

Can you also please stop giving spoilers? Unfortunately, I have to report your post because this is not allowed without spoiler tags. I do not know anything about the plot details you are talking about, so please keep this discussion to the anime only.
