Ayanokoji is the ultimate product of the White Room. But the WR only operated in Japan (120M population).

Imagine a similar black-ops facility in China, the US, or Russia, selecting from a vastly bigger population pool and resources.

Is Ayanokoji an absolute anomaly who beats anyone globally, or is he just a big fish in a small pond because the WR was geographically limited?

Would a top survivor from a global equivalent eclipse him? Thoughts?

The most difficult part for me was the 21:50 minute of episode 7.

When I watched the scene where Hosen says, 'Why are this school's rules so strange? I'm really loving this, haahahhahahah' a strange, unfamiliar emotion welled up inside me.

It wasn't just a character's laugh. In that split second, I felt as if I had suddenly stepped into a territory where anything goes, where no rules or boundaries exist.

For me:
Ibuki > Kushida > Ishikura > Shinohara > Hasabe...

ANHS claims to mold the "future leaders of Japan," yet it keeps failing students like Chabashira on a structural level.

She was left with zero psychological support, assigned to rot in Class D for years, and forced to watch 15-year-olds repeat her exact trauma just to keep the "survival of the fittest" illusion alive. Tsukishiro and the board clearly knew her history, yet they kept her in the main pipeline.

Instead of an evaluator, she’s basically a lab rat trapped in the same test environment as her students. If ANHS actually cared about producing elite adults, homeroom teachers wouldn't be allowed to have unresolved school-era rivalries with other teachers (like Hoshinomiya).

Change my mind: ANHS isn't a prestigious school, it's just a high-stakes social experiment with zero adult supervision.

Why is it so hard to find someone with Horikita's mindset in real life?
Am I the only one subconsciously looking for a real-life Horikita?

I think this is likely to happen in the future. because this group was formed not long ago, it was formed in the middle of year 2
