The main point from this is Ayanokouji did the training/learning which puts him in line with an EG rating at a young age. It isn’t a matter of “implied growth” since the growth we do know about is enough to show that.Anyways after skimming through the arguments, I would agree with a genius rating. I think a lot of these feats have the "implied growth" issue. It shows you insane levels of knowledge at a preliminary stage but that doesn't mean that said character grows. It's like measuring someone in skill at sports who can play on the level of NBA all stars at the age of 18. We look at a player like that and think "he could be the greatest of all time" because he does great things from young but this doesn't mean said person will his reach his "potential."
I would prefer if there was more evidence of Koji being at full capacity in his current stage rather than "he was a master at multiple martial arts before reaching the age of 10."
His knowledge level in the vast number of subjects we have discussed is above the level of geniuses in their respective fields. While this is while Koji is age 10-11 that doesn’t really matter. You are right that he did continue to improve for another 4-5 years and the exact limits of that are unknown, but this level matches the definition of EG so it doesn’t matter.
Honestly comparing to other profiles and saying X is above or below them doesn’t seem like valid reasons to downgrade or upgrade. This same logic wouldn’t be a valid reason to upgrade a profile, so if you really think profiles with “Gifted” have characters above Koji then make a CRT for them. But using that as basis for his downgrade seems invalid.Yeah tbh, it feels absurd given the people that are in gifted (the re zero cast etc) and how even more absurd the feats of people in EG combat are (Mori Dan, Taskmaster etc)
