@demetriusperry Yeah which is a big reason why the person I am most excited to see Akira meet in Re:Zero is Echidna, as she is really the only person I could see being able to rival Akira’s intellect in almost every way. So their interaction is going to be a really interesting battle of wits. (There are other smart characters who I could see giving Akira some trouble, but Echidna is the only one currently in the story I can see fully matching Akira’s overall intelligence.)
Although if I were to say a secondary one I am looking forward too… Although this won’t be till WAY later down the line, I am very curious to see how Akira deals with Reid in arc 6. With the reason being that Reid is a really big counter to characters like Gojo, Regulus and of course… Akira. So it’ll be interesting to see how Akira deals with such a bad matchup.
Funnily enough both of these characters will push Akira’s capabilities to its limits in different ways. With Echidna pushing his mental limits, and Reid pushing his physical ones.
