Now, if that's the strength of a 2nd Year team, not even 3rd year, then imagine the strength of a graduated, profesional Hunter team. As soon as you do that, you realize the Grimm are a complete joke. Heh... Gurren Lagann? You can always make something more epic. The team actually joke about TTGL a bit in relation to topping previous epic things in the show.

Grimm are pretty secondary at this point. Remember that we've only seen a few higher ranked grimm so far. Even in breach there's only 2 or 3 whereas the rest are all low ranked cannon fodder. It's also been said the stronger ones are smarter, waiting patiently for their chance to attack vs the newer low ranks who seem to blindly and aggressively attack when given the chance.

That said, I also wouldn't be surprised if the grimm were somewhat of a joke (though not so much so the hunters/huntresses find them that way), and the scare tactics were all part of that 'one huge lie' and political deception we keep hearing about.

Edit: Got some catching up to do >.> Coco annihilated giant Death Stalkers and giant Nevermores like it was no big deal, when giant Death Stalkers and giant Nevermores are old-ass Grimm. Old-ass Grimm that we saw killed by our first-year protagonists halfway into volume 1!

We've also seen an older Beowolf (Weiss and Ruby vs Beowolves, Weiss set the forest on fire; nicknamed Alpha Beowolf by fans) and an older Ursa (Nicknamed Ursa Major by fans).

I'm sure everyone remembers the Ursa Major beating the shit out of Cardin and Jaune because Cardin was scared shitless of the biggest Ursa he's seen in his life and because Jaune had no idea what he was doing, but still managed to behead the damn thing with a little help from Pyrrha.

The Alpha Beowolf... That's the Beowolf Weiss was targeting. When Ruby attacked it, it actually blocked her attack. And that's all we saw of it. Sad. Would've been nice to watch someone fight an Alpha Beowolf that's actually blocking their attacks and using some intelligence when it hits back. Imagine it being somewhat like that damned white Beowolf from RWBY: Grimm Eclipse.

It would be nice if they would start showcasing the older Grimms' intelligence in battle. It would be almost like fighting a furry/feather, bone-covered, blood-thirsty human, whose weapons are claws/pinscers and teeth/beak/tusks/stinger/whatever.
