Sunjae Choi. The strongest. At least until we see EOS Dowan. But I was re-reading Reality Quest and I found this Interesting panel with this white haired kid wearing the same colours as Sunjae Choi.

I feel that this is not a coincidence. I have in the past, posted a theory about Ha Jinoh and Sunjae Choi being connected through their red eyes and ludicrous strength, but this is further proving my theory.

(And for anyone saying I am wrong, Sunjae may have just dyed his hair. Other characters have dyed their hair in Reality Quest, such as Dae Bujin and XXX.)

I have a theory about the red eyes shared between Ha Jinoh and Sunjae Choi, hear me out on this one.

My working theory is that the red eyes aren't exactly exclusive to just anyone, but are achieved in a similar way to the extreme body, through a type of training that would kill lesser humans, which is why we haven't seen any other case of these red eyes anywhere else in Reality Quest.

My personal theory is that these eyes also work similar to a biological anomaly- they're not just meant to signify a power boost, but in every case we've seen, meant to instill an overwhelming sense of FEAR. I also believe that these eyes aren't the same for everyone, and that anyone who has access to them has to master them differently. [E.g, Sunjae's invisible attacks. These are exclusive to him, and were only briefly copied by Dowan with an item. Mr Jinoh likely doesn't have this attack type, as he scared five human traffickers sh#tless after they witnessed his power. Keyword, WITNESSED, so seen]

So, how does that tie Sunjae and Mr Jinoh together? I have a few ideas.

Number 1: it's unlikely they know each other personally, and instead were trained by the same outside party which remains shrouded in obscurity.

Number 2: Mr Jinohs was Sunjae's sensei, who taught him his own monstrous style of fighting before passing away from his accident (I still don't know how colliding with a street light killed the dude who PUNCHED A SHIPPING CONTAINER TO PIECES)

And I want to say this now because nobody else seems to be- Mr Jinoh was HOLDING BACK A SIGNIFICANT amount of his true power when he tore open the shipping container, never once losing his cool and staying level headed. Also, HOW DOES A PERSON PUNCH A CONTAINER FULL OF DEAD FROZEN FISH AND BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE?!?!! LITERAL BUDDHA ACTIVITY!!!

For explanation: Gukja is easily my favourite character in Questism for multiple reasons, but I've been holding it for too long now. I HATE how Gukja was so much weaker than other core characters at the end of the series. I think Gukja should have been WAY stronger than how he turned out to be.

So I found this fanart picture of Gukja with much higher stats, and in my mind, this second picture is closer to home on what I wanted, and what I feel everyone else expected especially since Gukja is ranked No.2 in the four schools. But yeah, I feel like this second picture is what Gukja's stats should have been. I'm not saying Gukja is the strongest, because he's not, but I personally think this is what should have been.

(Now a little slander since we can't have a Gukja post without it. 1, HOW the heck was his intelligence intact when he was in UI?! ABSOLUTELY HOW?! 2, How are you a Yamazaki and your weakest stat is STRENGTH?!)
