What I find so humorous is that Ayanokoji understands what it takes to have and improve your grip strength, yet somehow doesn't know the average grip strength of a person.

[@nevrrh]

Well I don't know if you have read the LN or not but. :Spoiler. Ayanokoji was raised in the White room and particularly the 4th gen of the program also known as the demon generation. His contact with other humans during childhood is almost non-existent and being raised in a loveless environment where the only time your not being observed is when taking a bath or restroom break also learning a special curriculum and his personality also adds to this. They had many grip strength test in the WR but the subjects of the WR are not at all on the level of your average HS student so not knowing the average is understandable. Basically his idea of average would only come from the WR ideally but he knows that the abilities of said person are not your average also he was in the 4th generation and because of how that gen operated he was the Last one left so human contact and knowing other humans capabilities became irrelevant at the time unless it was inside the WR.

[@ange7522]

Lol Ikr

[@xum0007]

He was definitely intentionally allowing himself to be careless about revealing his physical abilities during the preparation for the sports festival, and if you’ve read LN, ESPECIALLY within the sports festival itself. In front of everyone, he outpaced the most athletic girl in the class to the point she collapsed in exhaustion. All with a straight face. SPOILER ALERT (don’t read what’s below if you don’t want spoilers): During the sports festival, he comes close to beating Manabu Horikita, student council president/fastest runner in the school in front of literally everyone. For whatever reason, he didn’t mind standing out during the festival. He just didn’t want to get too much attention for his grip strength. To be fair, he still held back a lot because the way he was wording his monologue you can assume he’s capable of 100+ KG.

[@Bleezyyyys]

I just rewatch the whole season 1 and I must say. Season 2 is actually more fleshed out when it comes to out look of the characters. When in season 1 it was very beautiful when they did close up with the characters, and then when it zooms out it was very less quality. Season 2 changed that . Yes the coloring is less bright, only because they are moving forward with the story and everything is getting darker and darker

From what I've seen of Ayanokoji, never saw LN or the show, he seems like a genius who purposely hides his real potential/abilities. Also I'm thinking to start watching the whe anime.

[@rajvirmalhans2073]

He indeed is. One of the smartest protagonists working behind the shadows. Also hides his athleticism

Yup. I advise watch the first season, and then wait until this one fully ends. And THEN I think you should read the LN. If you would grade this anime 7/10 then I'd say, LN is 9-10/10. I've read a lot and this one is my all-time favorite

[@rotimiolu-james9418]

[@BelalAlDroubi]

The funny thing is that the two muscles mentioned (Brachioradialis & Flexor carpi radialis) actually have nothing to do with grip strength, cuz they're responsible for elbow flexion :) Ayanokouji needs to revise his anatomy (or the author) - Source: I'm an MD

[@rayanbakhsh30]

Woah, Then what is responsible for grip strength?

[@BelalAlDroubi]

Mainly Flexor Digitorum Superficialis, and Flexor Digitorum Profundus, There are many tiny overlayered muscles in the hand and forearm, they are the mightmare of medical students and are very complicated, probably the most challenging chapter in Anatomy class :D

He even rounded to .6 instead of .7

[@Crono2077]

For reference over 100 kg as he implies he can do would put him higher than all recorded 16 year olds in his weight category in the world (66 kg and under). There's only a few recorded adults that scored that high (in that weight range), so it's the very top of the top. You're actually even unlikely to find 16 year olds in most schools that score 82 as Sudo did. For grip connoisseurs, that will translate to closing a captains of crush 2.5 (accounting for the usual difference compared to a dynamometer score).

[@playerhater1840]

and thats why it is just an anime, even 60 kg is a lot when he is built like a stick

There was a cold monologue in the light novel where he said that he never compared his strength with anyone so he doesn't know the average norm, having tried hundreds of such devices in the past

[@odee99]

@@N-Ice_ as I can see you’ve read the LN, so there won’t be a problem with spoilers. There’s one thing bothering me. During his battle (if we can consider this one-sided beating from Ayanogod those four guys a battle) with Albert on the roof, we can literally see what he’s really capable of, so I think it was necessary to mention this monologue in the anime adaptation because some people wouldn’t understand why he’s THAT strong, so he could stop an attack with his single bare hand against 200kg freaking gorilla without any effort and hesitation.

i'd genuinely wanna see what Ayanokoji's maximum grip strength is. Considering he is very aware of what muscles to train in order to get the most possible grip strength, I wouldn't be surprised if his maximum is upwards of 80, maybe higher.

​@@N-Ice_ my guy this is an anime it was hinted many times that some students are pretty much superhuman like in one fight someone couldn't see her opponent right in front of her cause of how fast she was which would theoretically make that student hyper Sonic+ and Koenji is above that so I wouldn't be surprised if Koenji could break that device if he wanted to
