We all remember this gorilla in season 1, who seems really weak and **lost
against Genos**.

* * *

In season 2, we see him beating Marshall Gorilla in one punch.

It sounded very weird to me. The previous episodes showed the monsters of
Orochi very strong, and need S-Class Heroes to beat them.

Marshall Gorilla is the same kind as the **Supersado girl**. But Fubuki needed
Tatsumaki help to beat her.

**He was followed by Zombieman, an S-Class Hero, who was worried about that
Marshall Gorilla, so it means that he's as strong as a S-Class Hero...**

**So if this Gorilla is so strong, how can that weak Armored Gorilla beat
him?**

How could Armored Gorilla beat Marshall Gorilla?


Armored Gorilla looked very weak despite claiming to be extremely strong. This
is because he was very quickly and easily beaten by Genos. Also, Genos looks
weak compared to the other human there... Saitama.

However, Genos soon after became an S class hero and clearly deserves that
ranking based on his skill level. So Genos is S class level. Genos and Saitama
are absurdly strong and are ridiculous standards to compare to.

You argue that Marshall Gorilla needed someone on the level of an S class hero
to beat them. I would argue that they need an A class hero or similar to beat
them but that doesn't matter. This episode establishes that Marshall Gorilla
should be strong enough to at least defeat most A class heroes.

His easy defeat just shows that Armored Gorilla actually was very strong... he
looked weak only because of how amazingly strong Genos and (by extension)
Saitama are.

Retrospectively, we should know that he was that strong as Genos's defeat of
that laboratory alone was enough to skyrocket him up to S rank immediately.
While you may want to attribute that strength to Saitama as Saitama beat
Kabuto, the hero association was probably not aware of Kabuto so did not
include him in their calculations.

## **Armored Gorilla is stronger than Marshal Gorilla**

If we are going to base on threat level alone, _Armored Gorilla is Demon
level_ while _Marshall Gorilla is Tiger level_

But of course we can't just use the threat level alone.

* * *

So let's look how the battle goes on between the two:

> Marshall Gorilla uses his Banana Slash to Armored Gorilla, the same
> technique he use to defeat the A-rank hero Heavy Kong. The attack didn't
> even budged Armored Gorilla and the knife was broken, from this we can
> completely see the power difference between the two and we can say the
> Armored Gorilla is really stronger that Marshall Gorilla. [![Marshall

_Zombieman is not worried about Marshall Gorilla_ , he is following him for a
different reason:

It's all about match ups. Nothing to do with power. Although power can make a
huge difference if they are as strong as tatsumaki. But you have to realize
that fubuki and her gang doesn't even match up to most heroes on A levels.
Fubuki although being B class could be considered A since she is top 1 and
could do well. Genos is also a pretty strong character but his main role is to
make saitama look stronger by making him lose to the enemies that saitama
could beat. He didn't get S by just being a tactician. His physical levels are
off the charts. Remember deep sea King? He took out 2 S class heroes and made
sonic retreat but he is only a demon level threat. Same level with armored
gorilla. But like I said, it's all about match ups too. Deep sea King is
physically strong and even stronger and faster in the rain. Some heroes could
be advantageous against certain monsters. Like VS Boros. I'm pretty sure most
of the S class heroes won't hold up to him unless they teamed up. The only one
I think would have a chance would be tatsumaki.
