I've read about it as well. And you're wrong from what I've picked up, he doesn't become G rank but +rank. +rank is basically regular guild hall and G-class is the High Rank as we know it in the later installments.

The Garuga has a shitload of health indeed... but trust me. -_- Try G-Rank Dual Gypceros with the endlessly respawning bullfango/genprey army... that will be 10, if not, 100x worse than what you experienced during the Yian Garuga quest.
