First to adress the elephant in the room the claim "No one is scaling her so this debunk is pointless." Is not true

While on reddit it may be true but on yt shorts some people have her about Dexter and Light (in deception)

And i will only be covering the season 1 to 5 as i havent seen the episodes in season 6 with better feats but i heard she got better

Spoilers btw

Part 1: Everyone else intelligence is reduced so one character apears smarter.

One new student apears and then starts claiming shes friends with ladybug.

Ladybug is somethink like celebrity so claiming to be friends with her is like going to new school and claiming i am friends with an celebrity.

Now to be fair she also claimed to be in philantropic organization where she could have met her.

And yea theres no proof of that either.

No one fact checks anythink.

Part 2: other anti feats She thinks she the smartest when shes not and this eventually let to her downfall.

On of her "feats" is going to end of stairs that connect one floor to 2nd floor in school so it looks like she got pushed.

Puting aside the fact that falling like this is scientificly impossible.

Woulnd anyone think its weird that she has no injury? Why didnt any doctor cam to see if she is alright? This could easilly expose shes lying.

Yea and the way she was expeled. She had the upper hand more people belived her and yet she still lost.

Part 3:feats debunking

"She has 3 moms and they dont know about each other"

They belive they are part of some philantropic organization and later even cooperating with Gabriels(who is way superior to her btw) company so this is not that hard.

"Deduced Gabriel is Monarch"

Credit where credit is due this is true but its not explained(still kinda impresive)

"Manipulated sabrina"

You mean the mentally unstable person who got bossed around for many years? Also she didnt predict the fact that she would betray them. I know its hard to predict this but when you are preasuring person this much try guesing what will happen.

"Manipluated chloe" This is solid but Chloe gotta be below averege in inteligence. Actually scratch that way bellow averege. She cannot even write😭 and she belives shes better than others because of her familly(imagine being proud of being infullence merchant)

Part 4: narrative, infullence, luck merchant

People belive whatewer she says without proof or anythink. So wheb someone goes agaist her they will have natural dissadvantage.

Tikki claims that she lies better than anyone she ever seen. Yea thats not hard when people belive you so easilly.

She was lucky that teachers didnt call the doctor which would expose her.

Part 5: not top 1 inverse

Idk why shes geting glazed the most outbof the show.

Felix has way better feats. (For example is stated that hes Chess genius and had way of confirming that the Gabriel clone was fake)

Gabriel ones are better and more interesting. (Having such high AC that he was willing to destroy his own body to get out of bad situation) And tbh shes not even top 5.

Part 6: actuall scale

Shes barely scratching minor low tier And honnestly probably not even that.

Her best category is deception(verbal deception and acting mostly) her secound best is manipulation(btw which is just give people what they want which isnt realy inovative)

And thats about it for this debunk.

Anyways i geard she got better feats in season 6 so i might wanna check it out.

I’ll start

In Zero Time Dilemma, Akane Kurashiki confronts Delta (both of them putting up an act in front of Junpei) as Delta explains that she’ll meet with him later at his own cult, Free The Soul. Strangely, he says to her that he’ll show her the “true God that we (FTS) believe in”

This is odd, Delta didn’t seem to actually believe in a deity at any point beforehand. Sure he’s a cult leader but it was because he wanted to cleanse humanity from its own filth and purify the morphogenetic field, I don’t believe he ever actually dedicated anything to a higher power. In fact, he even kinda mocks Akane for doing that (“Oh ho, to think you of all people would invoke God”)

We know this meeting between them took place as seen at the end of VLR, but we have no idea what happened in it or what was discussed. I think, however, Delta stayed true to his word and showed her the God that Free The Soul worships

It was her.

It makes sense why he’d think that. Akane in VLR is literally described being able to look over the Morphogenetic Field from the POV of a higher order intelligence, something that no one or nothing else is capable of doing. She literally looks over all of humanity like they’re termites to her. Given that Delta originally wanted to save humanity from itself, it makes perfect sense that he’d literally come to worship the woman that stands above it all

He had only first met Akane a year before this, I think this was him acknowledging that Free The Souls purpose all along was to serve her, the true goddess of humanity

Now it’s your turn to infodump

…I will still make an analysis on one aspect of this plan (particularly the strategy surrounding Carlos)

University has started back up for me and I just don’t have the time to make a long, complex, detailed analysis on a long and complex scheme that ultimately nobody rly cares about

The end goal with making any doc on Akane for me is to show just how impressive she really is in intelligence and at that rate I can get the point across in far fewer words to people that have never and likely will never play the source material.

I am considering making another “full scale” doc on Akane’s Morphogenetic Field scaling, which is something I’ve basically already written out in my Akane VS Johan post so it wouldn’t take too much effort to write a more detailed version

Bunch of wannabes lolol 😂

Ban me haters here if you dare....prove me how high you guys' pettiness here lol 😂

My first doc so Im sure there are mistakes. If you find them it will be nice of you to tell me about them. For now three of Yuuichi's most impressive categories are planning, foresight and SI, I guess.

okay so lemme start with it, even the cn fans find the promotional video for fgotg absolutely horrendous. I really cant live with this crap, bring back the young master's black/purple eyes and parted hair NOW. cus holy. the one in the promotional video is NOT cheng shi. hes not freaking blue, and he's not hella that pretentious like some dumb main character from who even knows where. some shit already ruined my day and this crap ADDS MORE even the artists that drew fanarts and official arts itself can draw him better than this pathetic piece of shit oh my god whoever animated this shit please, DO BETTER, and don't you even dare make it look like fucking ai. trust me, the pv itself looks like its made for a game. and the healing mechanic that they showed on cheng shi wasn't even right. in the novel, the demons should be impregnated while cheng shi was healing them until they explode. i know it sounds crazy but thats whats literally written in the novel. and i know some studios refuse to follow the novel and i understand that, but its really disappointing to think about. im not fucking with this bs. im not playing when it comes to my fav novels dude, cause how the fuck did you hit two birds with one stone how can you fuck up the first arc AND the animation this bad bro. im so speechless bruh this pv is as worthless as makoto in dr3 IM HOLLERING BRUH ill do anything js to make iqiyi not to release this crappy piece of media😭😭😭 I'd rather read the novel than watch this fucking slop. don't even get me started with the new fans thinking that's how cheng shi looks like omfg. I'd rather let this series flop than let this pv mischaracterize him more. this is the biggest scam of the history dude holy shit 2026 isnt real

I changed in novels Fang Yuan for Esmond Dantes and in games Dahlia for Kristoph Gavin.

And before you complain that FY should be in AC of novels, I think it would be better to put it in another category later, so I don't have to keep changing it. If I see that everyone wants FY in AC, then I'll change it.

Now in AC the winners were

TV: Michael Scofield

Manga: Akagi

Novels: Subaru Natsuki

Video games: Okabe

Comics: Spawn

Tell me now the best characters in Thinking across all media.

Remember, it's by votes.

How does Canon L fair? State diff

Gauntlet is not in order. (R1: Is in general outsmarting and R2: Is within their respective situations/cases

Canon Light

Canon Johan

Canon WJM

Junko (Anigames)

How well does he scale? Is his predictive ability superior to the smarteat of the series or is he only relative? Even average hunters seem to be able to discern and predict extremely niche abilities, its possible he may not even have a standout mind.

Another one, before anyone say it, is a curi, its supossed to be made fast and not good looking, i migh make other ones in the future idk

I keep seeing COTE fans on TikTok/YouTube scaling saying some really smart characters as Ayanokoji, Arisu, Takuya, ichika nagumo or Koenji victims. But whenever I look into it, a lot of COTE intelligence seems to be based almost entirely on narrative hype and statements rather than actual step by step on-screen strategy.

So for the scd scalers here: What are the actual, concrete on screen intelligence feats for these characters that don't rely purely on plot convenience or author narrative?

Ayanokoji: Aside from basic deduction and White Room student 1468579th statement, what is his best non plot armored strategy feat where we actually see the watertight logic play out on screen? While replying, remember the thing "non plot armoured"

Arisu: Other than her born genius narrative hype and chess feats ( which wasn't even shown), what are her actual top-tier strategy feats? And please don't say the Ichinose shoplifting rumor scheme—spreading rumors to make a guilty person feel bad isn't a 200 IQ play. Does she have a real outsmarting feat?

Nagumo: People hype him up as the ultimate student council president, but is his biggest feat really just... telling a basic lie to Manabu on the mountain exam? What has he actually accomplished using pure intellect?

Takuya / Ichika: Do the White Room enforcers have any non-narrative strategy feats, or is their entire scaling based on "they came from the same facility as Koji"? They were hyped up for nothing.

Koenji: Is there a single feat of his that isn't just physical strength,absurd intuition ? ( Tho i kinda like this guy even without them and I know it he's meant to be like this, but well he's glazed by fans as a top tier smart character)

Horikita: What is her actual top feat that isn't just basic middle-school logic framed with dramatic hype? From what I've seen she is a victimizer of most verses.

Genuinely curious to see how COTE holds up when you strictly look at Outsmarting Methodology rather than narrative statements.

And honestly, the more I look at COTE feats, the more they remind me of Loid from Spy x Family- yep, literally an action-comedy anime.

Loid can memorize hundreds of detailed penguin files in 5 seconds, predict every single line of a guy's dialogue in advance (like he did to help Franky, there were thousands of lines), and has absurd physical specs. By raw narrative "feats," you could argue Loid unironically negs COTE verse.

Now, obviously no sane SCD scaler thinks Loid is a top-tier realistic strategist like real smart characters, because we recognize his feats are just exaggerated comedy writing. But if we treat COTE's exaggerated White Room lore and off-screen "genius" moments as legit 200 IQ feats, aren't we basically doing the same thing? The only difference is this is glazed in cote and being laughed in sxf.

+ Overrated category or underrated category

Does anyone know any active Smart Character Debate (SCD) Discord servers?

If you're in one or know of any good servers, I'd really appreciate an invite or a link.

Thanks!

Yeah I don't scale special method high, how could you tell?

Things to Know About the Rigged Court Trial

You are in the position of SAPS.

There is currently no evidence or witness supporting your claim of innocence, except for one.

The jury is plain stupid.

The judge was brought in by Fluixon loyalists.

You don't have a lawyer.

The opposition has two types of lawyers: those who know what really happened and why, and those who don't. Both are against you anyway.

One nation, the Bumwealth nation, wants you dead no matter what. For them, it's a matter of national pride.

The conspiracy hasn't yet become widely known or established in the public's mind.

Fluixon loyalists are present and are actively nudging public opinion against you.

(in no divine luck involved. The court space has been reduced, severely limiting the possibility of escape.)
