Ayanokoji Vs. Light Yagami: Who Is The Better Manipulator?

Light Yagami and kyotaka Ayana Koji are some of the most psychologically complex characters in anime and manga each of them Revels in the moral grade bringing about the inhumanity in both of their characters similarly there are also genius manipulators light effectively became a god having a power that ascended common sense and reality which warped his mind in the process and Aina koji's case he was an artificial genius the product of the white room who could see through everything and anyone they both see people as pawns towards a greater goal that they're trying to reach they reconfigure their environment to suit their needs under any situation both are highly intelligent have a calculated mindset and move like kings on the chessboard with these two amazing characters there is an ongoing discussion that needs an answer who is the better manipulator without further further Ado let's start with light [Laughter] already possessed many of the dark Triad traits to begin with he was Machiavellian in nature viewing reality through and ends justify the mean situation he was a borderline narcissist showcasing unparalleled sadism and depicting traits of psychopathy light was a lot more jaded than Death Note will give him credit for and while having these overtly questionable traits to begin with is already subject of scrutiny the Death Note only made matters worse as a wise man once said absolute power corrupts absolutely and so you could argue that his greatest manipulation was his own mental state light instilled trust in his pawns using them as a shield for his own decrepit sanity his father who was also the lead detective was the easiest one to fool with his idealistic notion of Justice there was no way he would ever question his son he deludedly vouched for light making others believe that he's a comrade and a valuable asset then you have misamisa who was infatuated with light to a psychotic degree at this point you have someone who's willing to cover your betrayals and another who will do just about anything to satisfy you and with an overwhelming lack of evidence there was no way they would catch on to light unless he exposed himself and then you have L the only person who had the capabilities of finding out who Kira was light studied the message keep your friends close but enemies closer and he ran with it light was constantly thinking multiple steps ahead dissecting the personalities weaknesses values strengths and histories of all his enemies he understood something very well the more information you gather the more data you soak up the easier it will be to manipulate your pawns this would not only give them more trust and light but get them further from the truth the most important element of conversation is listening and light was a great listener and in tandem with all these great assets light was also cold-hearted to a fault he had the resolve to make tough decisions and not bat an eye or question his motives when encountering a formidable enemy The Objective is to eliminate them as quickly as possible you either turn a pawn into a queen or knock them off the chessboard but when you get too close to the Sun you'll get burned and the credit goes to L for his self-awareness of his own manipulation light understood his position as Icarus to move forward and fool everyone he had to fool himself utilizing the information he acquired about the death note when his back was against the wall he effectively erased all his memories of the book he let his emotions speak the truth and they were undeniable and in many regards this manipulative practice supersedes the likes of Aina Koji who lacks the capabilities of expressing emotion with this instantaneous switch in his personality he fooled a team of trained Detectives who spent their time in close vicinity of Kira in some cases he also manipulated L into believing that he was innocent even when there was concrete evidence against his girlfriend on top of that as the self-proclaimed God Kira he was also manipulating the masses using the fear of death as his trigger where light succeeds is with his emotional manipulation he's a master manipulator and an unparalleled genius but despite his Ingenuity his lack of self-awareness for his own sanity was his greatest flaw when he defeated L he let his ego got the best of him his God complex overtook his personality and when he touched the fire he was burned he failed to retain his composure and despite his Feats he won the battle but L won the war because L was a monster he understood that the only person who could be his friend was another monster Ergo light he was constantly collecting data and it was that same information Asian that played a pivotal role in near and mellow capturing and pinpointing light as the villain as you guys will find out Aina Koji makes up for many of these shortcomings [Music] swirled Winning is Everything in the end going to win Aina Koji was The Prodigy of the white room he is a demon king in a class of monsters self-aware of his superiority showcasing sociopathic tendencies who perceives everything through a lens of data and logic in terms of his physical and mental capacities he's perfect which is why he was dubbed the perfect human and the only success of the white room Aina Koji has two main objectives pursuing his freedom and defeating his father and he will do anything to manipulate those odds into his favor he got 50s all across the board to send a message to a specific person in doing so he got placed in class D the class of defects and blended into the background this is how inikoji goes about pulling the strings he purposely stays out of the spotlight this highlights the genuine differences between light and ironicoji light utilizes the Death Note as an active approach and his weapon of Choice while eina Koji perfectly calculates each possible outcome he stays out of the conflict using his pawns as his means of practice Aina Koji lays the groundwork every special exam is pulled by his strings he rarely makes direct moves he just does the math and the results work into his outcome it's almost like precognition a perfect manipulator is someone who's able to regulate their emotions under the most stressful circumstances Aina koji's manipulation is subtle he's unable to deceive his enemies with emotion because that doesn't fit his capacity instead he lays low and forcing credit on others downplaying himself and maintaining his aloof demeanor and that's because it's far easier to deceive someone if they underestimate your abilities because Ina Koji lacks the ability to express emotion he becomes a reflecting glass that people can infer their Goodwill onto he uses horror anyone with some level of competence that he can utilize as a mask and that's because Aina Koji is a necessary evil a Monster who will do things that others won't and that's why for the entirety of classroom of the elite everyone believes that it's horikita who is The Mastermind behind class D in the first uninhabited Island exam Aina Koji effectively dictated the course in action of every class discovered the objectives of his foes relationships and ties to one another anikoji only exposes himself if he chooses to he was aware of review in scheming and so he played the fool in front of Ibuki also she could lead him to ryuan he let his class fall to disarray as a deception while picking up on small hints of data and using it to his advantage and when the time was right he turned the tables on all the other classes and class D was Victorious and of course all the credit went to horikita the supposed Mastermind of Class D this is just how inokoji operates he gets lost in the crowd and no one catches on that's why he's always able to get away with it and the second year Island exam he took it to another level by making himself an unknown variable and that's because in any survival of the fittest scenario it's ainokoji who undeniably stands at the top all he did was earn enough points to benefit his class while staying under the top 10 and using koenji as his mask as Aina Koji likes his freedom this was the perfect opportunity to control everything he made small calculated decisions that had a drastic effect on the outcome of the test and by embarking on these necessary actions he got koenji in first place defeated nagamo while deterring his objective eliminating and expelling five of the third year groups and he inhibited his own expulsion in the process it was an undeniable win for inikoji and a massive defeat for nagamo and these are just two situations and every special exam and every instance of action is always I nakoji at the center whether it be the first years where you win Sakaya Nagi ichinosei and anyone in between Ina Koji is manipulating them he sews the Seas early on so the flowers always bloom in his favor Aina Koji is absolutely a skilled manipulator rather than forcing someone onto a path they come to the conclusion so it's almost like an original thought and therefore there is no paper trail and Aina koji's manipulation pertains to every facet of his being he's a talented fighter but rarely resorts to extreme violence he's observant of his surroundings but carries himself like his eyes are dead he has genius level Academia but always gets an average result on a test he has an immense understanding of human nature but he always Plays the Fool when you compare situation by situation I think it's fair to conclude that Ina Koji is the better manipulator my argument against light is that if he was never able to grasp the power of the death note he would never have become the manipulator who propagates himself on that pedestal the power of the death note is essentially the Cornerstone of his God complex he viewed criminals as sub-humans while completely disregarding the atrocities he's committing and validating them as Justice despite his intentions his actions border on mass genocide and once L took the L he lost his composure almost like he lost his purpose and even when he tried to misdirect L it was still his information that brought him up on his charges ever since the beginning and even after L passed away light was still the prime suspect even though he succeeded in manipulating everyone he never actually manipulated l in contrast Aina Koji only reveals his true nature when he chooses to do so he bases every decision on logic and doesn't walk on eggshells Aina Koji is a chess master which exemplifies his calculated mindset while playing the game he thinks of thousands of different possibilities and each one works to his Advantage he's cool calm and collected Under Pressure he never lets stress get the best of him and he's highly intelligent and that's why Aina Koji is a better manipulator than light
