He’s definitely strong, but he’s one of the weakest Dragons in the series imo.
Genos fought Carnage Kabuto and he also saw Saitama effortlessly beat Carnage Kabuto, yet Genos thought that Gouketsu was so strong that Saitama may need help from the S Class to beat him. This suggests that, based on Genos’ judgement, Gouketsu should be able to effortlessly beat Carnage Kabuto, and Gouketsu isn’t even the strongest cadre. Imo, based on this, all the cadres should be above Carnage Kabuto.
