In the light novel, Ayanokoji is clearly the more intelligent one. He has a unique ability to analyze situations and people's motives deeply. Ryuen often falls into Ayanokoji's traps because he doesn't fully understand Ayanokoji's true nature. Ayanokoji can anticipate Ryuen's moves and counter them effectively, while Ryuen struggles to keep up with Ayanokoji's complex thinking.
The development can also be based on personal growth. Horikita is often very focused on her own goals and can be a bit cold. Ayanokoji could be the one to help her see the importance of relationships. Maybe he shows her how a more empathetic approach can help in achieving their class's success. This would lead to Horikita opening up to him more, and Ayanokoji in turn would start to show more of his true self to her. Over time, a deeper relationship could form as they both grow as individuals within the context of the fanfic.
When Ayanokoji says 'I'll use any means necessary to achieve my goal', it reveals his somewhat ruthless side. He is not bound by conventional moralities when it comes to reaching his objectives. In the light novel, this could be a result of the cut - throat environment he is in. However, it also makes him a complex character as readers are left to question whether his actions are justifiable or not.
The emotional scenes in Detective Conan were rich, but not all episodes contained emotional scenes. To be specific, the emotional scenes in Conan mainly appeared in the following episodes:
Mysterious passenger (Part 1)
Clues to the Dark Organization (The Mysterious Duality Event on the Night of the Full Moon)
Confrontation with the Dark Organization! (The disappearance of Ai Haihara)
The Confused Traveler (Part 1)
The Confused Traveler (Part 2)
Intimate Contact with the Dark Organization
Intimate Contact with the Dark Organization
The Target Is Kogoro! The Secret Investigation of the Junior Detective Group
The Target Is Sorrow! You, who have two identities
Trackers (Shinichi's Challenger)
The Stalker (The Stalker's Back)
A Person Similar to the Dark Organization (Part 1)
A Person Similar to the Dark Organization (Part 2)
The Collision of Red and Black, The Sleeping Criminal
Detective Group VS Strange Thief KID
The Discordant Note of the Stradivari Violin
Stradivari Violin's Dissonance
It should be noted that although these episodes contain emotional scenes, these emotional scenes are not the main storyline. In Conan's entire story, the plot was more important. The emotional scenes were only part of it.
Character development is crucial. Take 'Mass Effect' series. The characters are well - rounded, with their own personalities, backstories, and goals. Their relationships with the main character evolve throughout the game, and this adds depth to the story. When players care about the characters, they are more engaged in the story.
One of the notable quotes by Ayanokoji from the light novel could be 'I don't care about victory or defeat. What I want is absolute control.' This shows his unique mindset that is not focused on the typical goals of winning or losing but rather on having power and control over situations.
