i think that the k rank for BG9 is not entirely far fetched, as he does look like a knight (with the visor and helm on). Shaz's rank could be marksman as you could see his skill with knives, also ironically, he's a Quincy. As for A, i think it may be a variation upon Auswahlen, as Uryu was "selected" and Auswahlen means select, as Yhwach selected him to be his heir.
