I agree with the ANPR point. He has the best in cote from what I’ve read.
Yes, and he massively scales above many characters.
This doesn’t help with predicting gun bullet trajectories
Because to claim someone can do something you have to atleast show them doing it for it to be validated. Just like if someone claims a character uses martial arts but the only fighting we ever see is throwing wild punches. Thats not martial arts even if it’s fighting. The same applies here.
Ayanokouji is not clairvoyant that was likely a metaphor, however his ANPR in combat I believe is better. He just has to get past the gun, which I haven’t seen a valid reason to say he can.
Well, from what we see, it wouldn't be wrong if something still perceived him as a clairvoyant just from the outside.
Ayanokouji in Year 1 Volume 1 predicted
that Manabu will throw Suzune on the ground despite Manabu having only moved forward (like Manabu had barely even started to get in the position to start throwing Suzune on the ground). Manabu even praised him for that.
In Year 2 Volume 1, he predicted Housen very unnaturally. He predicted that Housen was going to harm himself and not him all while Housen was still having a knife pointed ahead and there was no way someone could predict something like that (
scans).
In Year 1 Volume 7, Ayanokouji predicted a stream of attacks from Ryuuen even when Ryuuen uses a fighting tactic (unknowingly so) of somehow resisting himself being analyzed.
In Year 2 Volume 4, Ayanokouji was fighting 2 people with perfect coordination - Tsukishiro and Shiba. And he just predicted attacks from two different people even before they had begun to even initiate the attacks, and all his predictions also happen to be true (
scans). He's so insanely buffed in AnPr that he predicted that someone would throw sand at him just because they looked down at their feet, and also predicted that his opponent possessed a stun gun very accurately (
scans).
Yes. He isn't a clairvoyant, but whatever he does isn't different from what a clairvoyant would do (without reading minds though). And yes, as you said, he has never predicted bullet trajectories, but again, a character much weaker than him in both AnPr and skills could predict trajectories of a projectile despite there being an absolute change of rhythm in their movements. He has predicted people very illogically just out of thin air. He legit just thinks of everything which can go physically wrong, and that's why, he determines which move is the best to do, using an element of intuition in his ability along with the concreteness in prediction coming from the analysis of upper limits. Considering how he predicts a person anyhow, I don't see how Connor can adjust to that.
I don't think reaching to Connor and knocking off the gun will be a big problem to Ayanokouji (like I don't think if it will be a problem in the first place). Predicting trajectories of a bullet in reality also happens to be easier than predicting volleyball trajectories because a bullet travels in a straight path, and it will travel in the path the gun is pointed towards when the firer fires the gun, so all an AnPr user needs to do is predict the arm movements, and not the trajectory of a bullet in actuality (because bullet isn't unpredictable and travels in a straight path invariably). And btw, this is what an AnPr user would do through conventional basis, Ayanokouji is very different, and he predicts stuff out of just thin air, he doesn't even need to witness any twitching of shoulders or initial micromovements but he just predicts his opponent like he saw them from the future.
Chad response. Everybody still sorting out the match.
Yes, I do happen to be unknown about the most Connor has to offer. Like whether he has any way of doing anything after his gun drops down.
