Reason:Explanation of the Rank SS in Yo-kai Watch World.
Rank (Japanese: ランク Ranku) is a measurement system of a Yo-kai's strength within the Yo-kai Watch games, which goes from E to S. The higher the rank, the rarer and stronger the Yo-kai becomes. Because of this, some lower-ranked Yo-kai may lose playability as higher ranked Yo-kai become more and more commonplace.
The Yo-kai Watch itself can also be given upgrades in the games in order to find Yo-kai of the same Rank the Watch is and to undo Watch Locks (Japanese: ウォッチロック Wotchi Rokku), special energized doors that boast a given Rank that serves to block a player from a certain area in the overworld, of the same Rank as the Watch. If the player manages to obtain multiple Yo-kai Watches, only the first Watch will count.
