Why is "S" always the highest ranking in anime? Literally

S-rank is a ranking classification that may refer to:

- A ranking used to describe a level that is so superlative that it cannot be described by the traditional ranking system (A, B, etc). It may be used in real or fictional tournaments such as in martial arts or fights in fiction.
