​@@LilbuptownI disagree, light's knowledge would actually probably be superior or equal to Johan's. We just haven't seen much of his explicit known knowledge yet, because the series focuses on anything but that. About yuichi, I don't know. But johan slams in the manipulation category, in my opinion.

[@xyoyo7502]

@@sugurugeto34 This makes sense, Light has far more access to information to go from in the fact that he can use the internet to learn how to do new things, so I think in raw knowledge he probably is more academically intelligent than Johan. He's just not as wise which is his biggest weakness, he also can't self reflect on anything he's said, done, or going to do. Johan also has less of an ego than Light's, which is saying something. Not to say Johan is super duper egotistical, he understands that what he is doing is insane, Light doesn't whatsoever. It was because of Light's ego when up against Near that he slipped up and made himself known as Kira.

[@Rodyx9]

I'm not very familiar with Yuuichi, but I do agree that Light and Johan are both goated at manipulation. Light's acting and manipulation abilities are often underestimated because his ego tends to get in the way so this can make people perceive him as less intelligent than he actually is. He actively drops hints to lure L closer, driven by a desire to outmatch him in their battle of pride. The infamous potato chip scene is a prime example of Light's manipulation and acting prowess, it's been talked about to death and there are so many videos analyzing it but it's brilliant nonetheless. Throughout the series, he maintains a facade and tells lies until the very end. On the other hand, Johan is a little bit different because we're not privy to his inner thoughts and plans. We only see him in action from an external perspective, making it difficult to gauge his intentions and what he's thinking. Unlike Light, we can't discern when Johan is at a disadvantage or feeling nervous, as we're not provided insight into his thoughts. If we were unaware of Light's inner thoughts, he might appear similar to Johan, because when you think about it if we didn't see Light's inter monologue he would really be a terrifying force and for the first 25 episodes it would be a really awesome concept if we were just looking at it from L's perspective or something idk. But yeah cool video, you could make a video what if Johan got the death note or something along those lines i think it'd be a cool idea

@@devon-mm4kg and the fact that light manipulated himself is the perfect proof that he would lose with Johan. Light used his narcissistic, competitive traits to play a part in his plan as he was unaware of death note and lost the memory of it, so when he regained memory everything went on as he expected. I remember this moment and I remember I was impressed. But you see, the competitive traits Light presented IS what cost him his victory in the end. His narcissistic, childish competitive behavior led to him being too confident and losing at the end. The fact that he believes in his vision and goes for it is a strength, but also potential for self-delusion, which Johan is a master at exploiting. If light met Johan, Johan would use his narcissistic traits to show him the real view of himself, the one that Neil pictured: “nothing more than a serial killer, not a god”. Johan would calmly and slowly break this image in light’s head causing him terror, fear and unbelievable pain and making him eventually write down his own name in the death note.

To characterize their skills we have to look at their objectives and environments. They cant be compared because they operate in entirely different zones/times, with different goals and access. - Yuuichi is in a very restrictive and competitive environment with a very practical goal: Win and crush the game. - Light has a suspicious environment where he constantly needs to hide. His more idealistic goal is to bring justice. - Johan (havent completed anime) has fewer limitations and has the goal of infiltrating key institutions to spread nihilism. All these tactics aim for completely different targets.(macro/micro - competitive/initiative/reactive)

I think you missed the fact that to use empathy to manipulate others means he has to also understand their psyche to then go about using the best method to take advantage of them. Which is similar to what Johan does, easily putting him over Light Yagami at the very least. I think one of the most underrated things about Katagiri Yuuichi is how well he makes use of his impression on other people to plan things ahead. He always makes himself look like an underdog and often times gets overlooked even when others know his true nature, even when he's closely being watched. I think that's way harder to pull off than what Light did.

Fastest way to show winner: Don't know Yuichi childhood, but when Light was still angsty teen, Johan age about 10/11, in Kinderheim 511 was *kept WHOLE TIME ON SLEEPING PILLS, isolated* because GOVER SOCIOPATHS were so terrified of making *any conversation* with him. It is mentioned in ANOTHER MONSTER novel, writen by Urasawa. Not just seperated from Anna, but he started being Gover-brainwashed, begging them to 'not let him forget Anna', mentioning killing anyone who took care of them, as 'being only ones in a world with Anna'. He was making gover superhuman project institute of supersoldiers residents, that were prepared as mass killing machines(plus adults preparing them), as place to observe 'human brought together by hate', putting throne in the middle of slaughterhouse. 🔥 Then age 12 he is manipulating sister, that loves him to shoot him in a head, putting her in neverending trauma. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Age 15 he is said, just by using his presence, never showing persona, he ruled (decades) post WWII underworld of CZECHOSLOVAK underground criminals. Just NEVER SHOWING FACE. By age 17 he was coresponding with serial killer and making him kill by using letters...and this is before Light even FOUND Dandy book of his. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Yuuichi, as much as intimidating, I don't think, that he can be perfectly selflessly evil. That is, what let Johan perfectly enter others desires on level, that Light, for example, never could. Johan got no self worth. No deluded, Grandiose self entitlement. Opposite to that, he feels monster for crime of living. And that never makes him commit stupid mistakes, like Light one, that comes from his Ego. Johan include free will of human and show them, there is no sense to cling to it. Light thinking he is God, delude himself, like with Mikami actions. He think he is Godsend, even God himself, so he makes no mistake. THAT is his biggest mistake. Johan just want to see world BURN, hoping for expiriencing excitement of true terror, like in blind veteran stories. He feel nobody. He got long past any sense of worth. He just... Is closest, we can say, to nihilism. So when You stand in front of him, You face FUCKING MIRROR. And only plot armor, having characters so deeply pure, like Anna, or Tenma(freaking Naruto prototype) makes Johan lose. And inability to feel, that made him unable to think about father of child stepping into his driving Tenma on evil side scheme. Because, to save this child, Tenma WOULD HAVE shoot. If not interrupted. 🤷🏻‍♀️ . As much, as he claim to love Anna, he in fact, like in book, wanted to devour West Monster. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Johan on the otherhand, goes in knowing what he needs to know from the very beginning, and he establishes a curiosity on his part from the person. After that, he tends to isolate them, make them feel alone, and make sure that the only comfort they can find, is in him. During that process, he essentially leads them down a rabbit hole, unraveling their sense of self, convincing them of terrible things but justifying it to appease them, effectively breaking their ego. Not ego in the sense of pride, but ego in the sense of who they are.

Especially since she knows l would talk to her as they have worked together before. I think this feat for light was very ex machina and doesn’t make sense. Ray penber only died because he gave his real id to someone. Naomi knowing this would have made fake ids. Even hiding her last name would be enough. As L would recognize her first name by itself. Light also gave no proof to Naomi who he was. Aside from the people at the desk recognizing him. Idk. It just doesn’t make sense to me that someone is bright would lose so easily.

I know in the comment section, that people are talking about who's better and smarter among these three. But I've to say, no one can beat Johan Liebert when it comes to manipulation, deception, and gaslighting. I watched all 3 of the shows but "Monster" is that one series that always kept me on the edge of my seat. And since the story of "Monster" is told from Dr. Tenma's perspective and half of Johan's devious actions happen off-screen, it makes Johan even more terrifying. You just don't know what he's gonna do next. Unlike Light Yagami, Johan isn't a narcissist and doesn't care about winning or losing (that also makes him more terrifying than Light). Also, Johan being trained to become this "perfect soldier" at Kinderheim 511 orphanage and him having those other kids and instructors fight and kill each other, all while simply sitting in a chair at the top of the main staircase, watching calmly as the massacre ensued and the orphanage burned down when he was still just a kid; this puts him on a pedestal above and beyond Light and Yuuichi. And Johan pointing his forehead with an unfazed look on his face while challenging his opponents to shoot him at the pointed spot as he looks at them in the eye... I don't think any other villain in anime/manga history has the balls to do such a thing let alone Light and Yuuichi (excluding those shounen anime/manga villains who have superpowers to protect or heal themselves; they're not included in this discussion). Anyway, all in all, Johan Liebert wins.

yuichi has also got people to kill themselves just to a more minor degree basically manipulated his kidnapper into losing his whole gang (and if he wasn't stopped 4 of his fingers) made the tomadachi game in the first place as a way to destroy friend ships and the whole story is basically mocking a copy of his original game and destroying competition just to fuck with the copy cat games he also got a kidnapper to hand him a loaded gun somehow

ayanokoji also has a feat about manipulation.. first thing that comes to mind is kushida's arc on paper shuffle.. she almost got expelled if the tides shifted slightly on ayanokoji's whim.. ayanokoiji's pawn is only kei at that karaoke's room but he predicted what would happen in that room 1 to 1 and he manage to set a trap to kushida without her knowing.. she only learns about it after ryuen told her(i dont know what happen in the anime but thats what happen in ln)

Johans feat is the most impressive by far 💀 By feats in this video Johan >>>> Light > Yuuichi

[@That-Dude-9]

That's true Johan is the only guy from anime that can face joker

[@gyrum310]

Richard was already a broken man, All Johan did was guilt trip him, took him to the terrace and passed him alcohol. I am sure most manipulators would pull that off.

[@gyrum310]

Aside from that most of his feat are offscreen, and offscreen feats are useless. I Can make a character and say that he conquered the world without justifying how. He is not really that great, his nihilist nature is what makes him a good villian.

[@gyrum310]

The reason why Light is often underestimated is because we actually get to know his thought process, we see when he panics or when he is confused or when he actually struggles because he does face much harder opponents. we get to understand why he achieves what he achieves, we understand it so we think it must simple. I will say making a super intelligent women who has major trust issues give information that can potentially k*ll her is harder than making an already depressed guy k*ll himself under influence.

[@gyrum310]

Also he didn't cover yuichis best feats from the manga. Yuichi has on-screen feats in manga that maybe even ranks him at the top.

[@dravendfr]

I don’t know Yuuichi, but the show Monster, and its antagonist, Johan Liebert, are some of my favorite pieces of fiction.

[@welladvanced]

Your video is consistently perfect as usual, you never miss a detail. Yuuichi utilizes basic manipulation techniques that are commonly employed by manipulators in real life, rendering him the most basic and realistic intelligence(I don't mean its simple or everyone use it, but like the common one in our society, and can be mastered by anyone, if he has the character for it) . On the other hand, Light takes greater risks, and his techniques cannot be mastered by everyone, they seem more like a rare gift bestowed upon a select few by the creator. Individuals like Johan stand above everyone else, a portrayal that, while not entirely unrealistic, is exceedingly rare in reality. Encountering someone like Johan is akin to finding a needle in a haystack, perhaps only one in ten million or even fewer. My assessment of these characters is grounded in real-life scenarios. However, characters like L, while not manipulative, possess feats that are incredibly unrealistic. The writers themselves finds it difficult to craft better narratives for them or adjust their abilities to match a more believable level of intelligence. After all, the ceiling of realistic intelligence is ultimately defined by the intelligence of the writers themselves.

Simply put I feel Yuichi after chapter 122 is literally one of the best manipulators (realistic situations) of all time. His practical knowledge and fluid intelligence is exemplified by his insane strategies and plans but the best part is... we still dont know the full extent of his abilities. While the death note manga and monster manga are over tomodachi game is still going on and we dont know the full extent of his abilities yet and i believe it will get revealed soon. In case of Johan and Light I have to say that when it comes to FSIQ they are deffo better than yuichi and many yuichi meatriders will say he takes FSIQ by a mile which is simply untrue. Also out of the three Johan has the highest FSIQ. My conclusion is, as of chapter 122 of TDG i have to say Yuichi is slightly better than both. Also I have to point this out which is something i have seen in many of these debates. Just because Yuichi > Johan and Johan > Ayanokoji (For example) doesnmt mean Yuichi is better than koji. The situation will always be different. So In my Opinion Yuichi > Light (Very High Diff - Extreme Diff) Yuichi > Johan (Extreme Diff - Insane Diff) Johan > Light (Extreme Diff) It could go either way but in a situation where Johan or Light wins i feel it should be very high diff to say the least. Again its just my opinion

@@partyvietnamcommunist4829 Idk tbh but if i were to say at the current state of TDG and after reading LN of Cote prolly Yuichi > Ayanokoji (Very High Diff- Extreme Diff) or Ayanokoji > Yuichi (Extreme Diff) Reason is simple really, I feel like when it comes to outsmarting or manipulation really yuichi is really underestimated. He also is an amazing strategist but ayano takes strategy by a tiny bit but planning goes to yuichi so does creativity. He is also very good at analogical reasoning (acc to my brother who has read both mangas and has a psychology degree). According to him Yuichi is actually somewhat better when it comes to outsmarting simply due to 1. Unpredictability 2. Manipulation Two categories Yuichi No-Low Diffs ayano in. Its not too complex but I would give maybe the benefit of the doubt to Yuichi in NFS and give him Overall Strategy Side note:- My brother also said Takuya is the ONLY person who has the ability to take at least 2-3 EQ cats from yuichi coz thats just how good and high his EQ really is. For example Ayano max gets 2 EQ cats in fact if u ask me I wouldnt give him either. Also kind of a hot take but i might give pain tolerance to yuichi due to the difference in scenario

Hannibal vs ayanokoji vs patrick jane in manipulation

[@johntitor272]

Johan has to be the most overrated villain of all time (spoilers for Monster). His feats of intelligence and manipulation are all done off screen because Urasawa pretty much realised that they are implausible, which is why I find it strange that people say he’s a realistic villain or that he has no supernatural powers. The only people we saw him manipulate on-screen were children and that alcoholic detective. This is why I think it’s hilarious when his fans claim that he can manipulate anyone even characters like the Joker, Hannibal Lecter, Griffith, Light Yagami, Lelouch, Aizen, Makishima, L, etc. Those guys have shown more impressive on-screen feats than Johan ever did. There’s no proof that Johan can manipulate a normal adult (except for the stories we hear about him from other characters in the show) let alone masterminds like the ones I mentioned.
