i mean no offense when i say this but to me miss pisces, but it sounds like you only think of genma as a strong character in terms of brute force

genma is a strong character not only because of brute force but also because he can be caring and emotional

gao defeated genma which allowed him to finally open his heart back up after losing his best friend a few years back

then he was utterly crushed when he lost to kemura. i would be too if a person i considered a close friend had decided to win with such a cheap trick. granted kemura didnt understand but it was still hurtful. then when he forgave kemura for what happened that also added more to his character. that fight showed how much he values friendship.

and against shido? well i'm pretty sure anyone would be feeling the same way genma was. not only was he continuously bombarded by torturous attacks that dealt REAL damage, but his closest ally became corrupted and utterly demolished him.

bottom line is, they are showing that there is more to genma than just being a badass
