What are some examples of characters that were built up as a serious threat, but instead turned out to actually be useless jobbers?

He's the opposite of a jobber they had a huge team up fight against him and he beat the shit out of everybody

Reigen was just the punchline to the episode long setup

Yeah true, but he was still built up as this really strong terrifying threat, only to be no diffed be Reigen.

He only got beaten by the OP main character, the best everyone else did against was starting to fight back.

He lost on a technicality because he turned off his senses for everything except esper powers, that's the joke.

Jobbers are there to make other characters look stronger by getting their ass kicked. Like the plant guy who only existed to show off how cool Mogami is (again)

People now think "jobber" means person who lost a fight ever.
No one knows what a jobber actually is.

Dude, Shimazaki wasn't just built up as a strong terrifying threat. He was a strong terrifying threat and was kicking everyone's shit in. He got jumped by Reigen because he was so focused on beating other espers that he had a blind spot for normal humans he never even considered, which is a very thematically fitting way to lose for Mob Pyscho 100.

Another example of people not knowing what jobber means. Oboro's role wasn't to job. He was like a cockroach villain who keeps coming back every time he's defeated but weaker until he can finally be killed. He overwhelmed almost everyone he fought. Did you forget that he destroyed Gintoki in their first fight? And he mostly had the upper hand in their rematch which Gintoki only won because he pulled off the setting up the stake trick.
