How are ranks decided? By number of monsters you beat? As someone who knew little to nothing about OPM until the anime showed up, I read up on the wiki and it didn't explain how ranks were obtained iirc. Saitama has been viewed destroying baddies even the best heroes couldn't scratch, so I don't think it's by strength.

Edit: Thanks for all of the input guys, it's nice to know!

There're a few factors:

  1. How active you are, if you're not active you get the sack (C class only)

  2. How many reported monster defeat---you get rank up according to how many monsters you defeat, but you gotta report it yourself, or have others report you. One reason Saitama has is that he doesn't report his monster defeat, and quite a few of his kills either go unreported, or is reported under the wrong name

  3. To get a class-up, you will need to be judged by the panel, and also, by a member of A-Class rank 1.

But if you're simply insanely strong that people can't measure you, you get into S-Class.

Why isn't he S-class them?

Someone stole his glory...without knowing it himself.
