The diffs are wrong. Arisu takes intellect low diff. Outsmarting low-mid diff. Manipulation mid diff. Ryuen takes fight no diff. 1v1 Ryuen wins extreme diff but leading a class Arisu wins low-mid diff.
Ryuuen is a ruthless high-schooler with no remorse who uses violence to command influence around ANHS and his class. Despite his violent actions and tendencies, he is still one of the smartest and most manipulative characters in classroom of the elite. He successfully persuaded and forged an alliance with Kōhei Katsuragi from Class A to aid each other in the survival test. He also managed to plant spies in Class B and D in order to learn the identities of the leaders to gather points for his own class without their leaders finding out in a way to garner more points. He would have outplayed the entire school if it wasn't for Ayanokouji Kiyotoka interfering. Eventually, he was able to convince KATSURAGI to join his class and leave Class by appealing to his history with Sakayanagi. It is said that the only reason that Class C is able to remain competitive with other classes and without him, his class would be in chaos. Sakayanagi has a loyal group of followers despite her limited physical ability. Katsuragi, a man with outstanding academic prowess and leadership skills that threatens even Class B, notes her talents. Manabu, Horikita's Elder Brother and The Former Student Council President, praised her emotional and social management of her class. She's a resourceful person who was able to have one of her followers, Masumi Kamuro, carry out and organize research on certain students and Masayoshi Hashimoto to display her plans in her stead. She easily boasts one of the most highest academic and adaptability grades in the entire school year. She was acknowledged by Kiyotoka Ayanokouji for achieving high grades to college level questions, even though she never participated in the White Room. She's manipulative, cunning, and has keen mental perception and understanding. Her plans are said to be only be rivaled by Kiyotoka Ayanokouji. She knows how to play her charm and beauty and isn't above using them to get to her objectives. However, she only used this against a moron named Haruki Yamauchi. Though, she is able play by the strength of her allies while targeting the weaknesses of her enemies, crippling them before they can even attack. For instance, she was able to emotionally scar Ichinose by revealing her most hidden secret, effectively taking out the leader of the second best class and their chances of competing with them. Additionally, she played Ichinose to her advantage by exploiting Ichinose's kind and forgiving nature by forming an alliance with them before other classes could. In chess, she is easily able to factor in her opponent's personal thought processes in her plans, being able to think more than 10 steps ahead of them and countering them in the span of seconds. Her deduction and analytical skills are one of the highest in the school and is par with Ayanokouji Kiyotoka's own skills. She currently is able to lead and have control over most of her classmates in Class A who are distinguished students with individualistic personalities and have them follow her every order. Though unlike Ryuuen, there is not a complete explanation for how she achieved that besides the respect she is given from students and teachers in ANHS as for Ryuuen, it was his sheer will and ability to never give up. She also rarely used mind games and tactics against someone, especially Ayanokouji. Though she perfectly uses her class to place them so high when they were neck to neck with Class B. She proved to be the superior leader by breaking her confidence and almost her spirit. However, it does not mean she is a better leader than Ryueen. I believe her best quality as a leader is her lack of violence, but I must admit it is impressive that Ryueen was able to control an entire class of delinquents with his slyness. Sakayanagi does have her class She was able to figure out that Kamuro made of a deal of secrecy with Ayanokouji for their own benefits. She ruthlessly destroys anyone who gets in her way and induce fear upon others by destroying their motivations to overthrow her. Ayanokouji, who can sometimes be reliable or unreliable first-person narrator in the light novels, said that either one of them had a chance of winning in a game. Ryuuen didn't even have have a slight chance, but Sakayanagi's chances were 50/50 and quite decent. Ryuuen is more of a wild card who likes to play unpredictable and fight with his wits and trickery. Sakayanagi is more of a straight thinker who prefers logic and reasoning. No one in her class questions her because she produces results which was why they kept a position in Class A. I spent too much time researching on this, but from statements I assume it's Sakayanagi >Ryuuen, but I'm an anime only and I've only read few of the light novels so I'm not the best debater to claim, but narratively it makes sense to me that she is much greater than him. However, without statements and only feats, it might be different. Ryuuen's not to be underestimated, he's one hell of a bastard. This research is from sources like wikis and stuff from reddit. W EDIT + GREAT WORK, THANK YOU FOR RESPECTING BOTH OF THESE CHARACTERS.
Quite a long explanation you give Tho I agree with most of it but some points are little hard to distribute between arisu and ryuen Even using statement ryuen isn't far behind arsiu but I do believe arsiu can defeat ryuen in straight mental battle and outsmarting tho it is no more or less that extreme diff in my opinion
While the argument presents valid points about both Ryuen and Sakayanagi, it overlooks several key factors that make Ryuen more potent and smarter overall. Firstly, Ryuen possesses a high level of VSI (Visual-Spatial Intelligence), which allows him to quickly and accurately assess his surroundings and make decisions based on that. This intelligence is crucial in several situations, such as the survival test, where Ryuen was able to quickly adapt to the changing circumstances and make decisions that benefited his class. This type of intelligence is not something that Sakayanagi has demonstrated to the same degree. Secondly, Ryuen excels in FRI (Fluid Reasoning Intelligence), which allows him to think abstractly and solve complex problems. This intelligence is crucial in situations where there is no clear answer or solution, and Ryuen has repeatedly shown his ability to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions to problems (Evident in the island exam, where without Ayanokoji, he would've certainly passed with flying colours. Another feat is using Karuizawa to lure Ayanokoji out, as it is Ayanokojis only option.). This is a skill that Sakayanagi lacks, as she tends to rely more on logic and reasoning. Maybe she doesn't lack it, but she certainly lacks the feats to be at Ryuens level of FRI. Thirdly, Ryuen's manipulation skills are definitely top tier to say the least. While Sakayanagi is certainly cunning and manipulative, Ryuen's ability to control and manipulate others is on a different level. He has a deep understanding of psychology and knows how to exploit people's weaknesses to get what he wants. This is evident in his ability to turn Katsuragi against Sakayanagi and convince him to join his class. Fourthly, Ryuen's PSI (Problem Solving Intelligence) is exceptional. He has good mental perception and understanding of the situations he is in, which allows him to quickly identify problems and come up with solutions. This is evident in his ability to plant spies in other classes and gather information without getting caught during the Island Exam. This is also evident in some other situations (Sports Festival). Lastly, for now, Ryuen's adapting skills and strategies are superior to Sakayanagi's. He is able to quickly adapt to new situations and come up with effective strategies based on the circumstances. This is evident in his ability to control an entire class of delinquents, who are notoriously difficult to manage, and keep them competitive with the other classes. Another display of this is when he makes Class B (Currently Class C) lose in a special exam in all aspects due to his strategy alone and getting away with it scot-free. Although Yamauchi's expulsion is an exceptional feat in Sakayanagi's side, she has shown less feats, and that feat is outshined by Ryuens other feats. In conclusion, while Sakayanagi is certainly a skilled and cunning leader, Ryuen possesses unique skills and abilities that make him more potent and smarter in certain areas, such as manipulation, problem-solving, and adapting strategies. I could go on for even more reasons as to how Ryuen is more potent, but I believe this is enough. Sakayanagi is mostly carried by the narrative and statements, rather than direct feats, hence why I think that Ryuen is smarter as he's shown better than Sakayanagi.
@@CallRvns bro agree with all your points tho I won't underestimate asriu either her intelligence, IQ far surpasses ryuen Tho the results will always comes to winner going either way
@@CallRvns Nice essay, it's really good, I can't tell what difficulty each character would have against each other, but I think it can go either way overall because of the narrative of COTE and feats of Ryuuen.
L opinion@callrvns VSI goes to arisu pretty easily her island exam feats are much better She visualized the entire island in 3d in her mind through which she saw through tsubakis plan and easily countered it Her VSI feat is highest among any cote characters (yes even koji hasn't demonstrated it) plzz read LN properly FRI goes to arisu plzz state ryuen's feats where he thought out of box? Arisu's feats are much better in it while ryuen was crying over in voting exam arisu was the mastermind of saving koji, giving an excuse plan to tsukishiro, testing the function of s system, analysing kushida through indirect manipulation by directly manipulating yamagod and at last expelling him PSI - arisu has far better perception than ryuen she easily saw through the possibility of a wr student in coming since tsukishiro is incharge now analysed a person to become koji's partner, used her deadly cold reading to find out ichinose has had suffered from trauma taking a favour out of nagumo to destroy ichinose mentally Crystallized intellect and whole fsiq goes to arisu Emotional management goes to arisu Manipulation goes to ryuen Adaptation skills are debatable Ryuen hasn't demonstrated anything on genius level
I did not forget about them, let me tell you manabu is not in school anymore,otherwise he is a goated and the enjoyability ratio of koenji and these characters is on another level even if koenji is smarter than these two, Oh yeah,i did forgot about nagumo,i apologize
@@Adi-Aaradhy My bad,i did include nagumo afterwards but takuya,sorry he may be the smartest after ayanokoji but the goated here means more moments ,more enjoyable and more writing ,correct me if i'm wrong but you also must've loved it when these people converse with ayanokoji,so that's why arisu and ryuen are more goated
@@anshumansingh7726 Reyuen can easily defeat her bodyguards and one ayanokoji and horikita both stated that lies and violence are the most powerful weapon
Unfortunately for him, winning youtube shorts battles wont get him to class A. Ryuen's lack of focus on the fundamentals (academics) will be his downfall, implied by Hiyori. Hashimoto's betrayal is something that only works once, no one could've anticipated it. Without the betrayal, she would've likely won the special exam.
@@milanista5303 Its pretty obvious that ryuen wont focus on academics since his class is overall lacking in academics compared to class a. Yes they should improve on their academics but currently there is no way they can beat class a in headon battle with their current level of skill. This is why he needs to use other means even immoral however he still gets the dub
If it's just mental/intellectual ability and general intelligence: Arisu (Mid-High Diff) Now if you count Physical Skills obviously Ryuen wins overall with Extreme Diff
She only wins in intelligence, overall still Ryuen wins, this video is true and based on proofs. His character definitely got more potential and development too. To make things worse for Arisu, Ryuen neg diff her in physical abilities.
Are you crazy both of them are equal and Ryuen feats>Sakayanagi feats she is carry by her offscreen feats while Ryuen manage to outsmart his opponent more than Sakayanagi
it I may, I see it like this IRL-Ryuen extreme diff physical- ryuen neg diff as a character- definitely ryuen low diff outsmarting- arisu high-very high diff manipulation-ryuen high diff And I also think ryuen would have a little more influence than arisu thanks to fear factor and other takes as well. overall both well characters but ryuen takes this one.
ohh but i can say i have almost debunked her chess feat to 1600-1800 rated player which not even close to chess master.... any one who plays chess know that horikita rating is 800+ and hashimoto was close to her. SHE IS NOT CHESS PRODIGY.
@@ainniekazmi5119 No Vol 9.5 Y2, em monólogo a própria Sakayanagi diz que está acima de 99% da população mundial em inteligência, e que tem 1% acima dela. Ou seja ela assume que não está no 1% mais inteligente da população, traduzindo pra números de QI, por exemplo quem tem um QI de 140 está acima de 99.6% da população, e está dentro dos 0.4% mais inteligente da população, e Sakayanagi não está dentro dos 1% mais inteligentes.
bro went fuck it towards the end on Arisu bro 💀 Arisu can definitely take Ryuen on bro she survived the T-rex for 10 seconds and walked away like it was nothing Durability+Endurance>>>>>>>> Ryuen
@@brightred_09 your wrong on that one buddy... I've seen lemon fics of her surviving it (one of them is her raping a sleeping kiyo💀) Biggest feat: She survived the 3 biggest D's in ANHS at once 💀(This is all true, I can even try to show you proofs)
its not the same thing, cunning is mainly of evil but cleverness is depending. like smart, clever, intelligent, intellectual are the same right? NO of course they all evaluate the greatness of intelligence but they are in different ways
Me starting cote: damn sakayanagi is way too crazy for evryone in this school After koji vs ryuen: eh sakayanagi is still smarter tho After tsukishiro rigged the exam:nah koji solos Starting year 2: hyped Caught up: ryuen best girl solos the verse
@@shyamorbit147not really as it to scale a character properly they should use there best quality and using physical term way kinda Unfair Probably he love bullying her
@@saanPitza718t’s literally called a FULL scale comparison…. Also it’s not ruyeen problem arisu has negative physical stats, what’s her exact plan for beating him in a race for example…. Her class probably would have more points if her lack of physical abilities didn’t literally cost them points…
@@saanPitza718it's fair cause this is an full scale comparison. So both mental and physical power are indeed. An example of where this logic would work is people like aizen. Do you really think he is powerful just cause of his mental capabilities? Aizen is powerful because he has both an high mental capacity, and an very good power.
Maybe i am underestimating arisu, but i dont think soo, she like just cares about ayanokoji and always loses bcs of that, so i think in overall Ryuen mid-high diff
It’s because she got carried by offscreen feats and she didn’t outsmart smart opponent like Ryuen did by the end of year 2 I predict Ryuen will destroy Sakayanagi mid diff
Logically, Extra will answer A because that's the answer. But due to outside Influence, Extra answer B instead because many do that In conclusion, using illogical thinking you can tell that Extra will answer B instead of A
@@ExusiaiClipsactually creative and Illogical thinking can be very similar In many ways but Yk we are trying to understand what is illogical thinking while we all are thinking it in a logical way lol... IDK What is Illogical thinking but I think Its a way where the person can't understand another person what he is thinking becuase he is trying to make a very illogical way to outsmarting him.... Mayby just a theory
