But can she be a worf when fighting against overpowered characters and getting destroyed by them is kind of the basis for the entire series? Quite literally every character gets an ass beating handed to them at some point for a prolonged amount of time (kind of the reason for a lot of memes within the fanbase about certain characters exist), everyone gets their due in this series (heck, after losing to Touma, Accelerator got shot in the head and crippled and then got owned by a Kihara all back to back).

Just because she is losing right now to opponents that have power sets that easily trump her does not mean she is jobbing, she is just realistically losing to a clearly superior foe. Angel Fall arc let us know that a Saint on the level of Kanzaki can't defeat an Angel like being an so far the only time we have seen that she has lost is against goes with that exact same capability.

If Kamachi wanted a true Worf character he would have had Acqua be the one to lose to Knight Leader to set an example since we already knew that he was stronger than Kanzaki and that she could not stop an angel like foe.

A character CAN lose multiple times without the need to be classified as a certain trope.
