I wouldn't say ranjiro is better yea he came up with the strategy but aiga was the executioners for taking out not only rantaro but also valt, and during the match against drum and lui when aiga was out ranjiro became kind of an easy prey. we have to remember this is a team effort thing the writers have to somehow make both partners do good aiga doesn't need the focus cause well globally he did better than both drum and ranjiro already throughout the season. ranjiro on the other hand needed that boost nothing says ranjiro can take on aiga 1 vs 1 (which I completely think he can't) as drum i also don't believe he would beat aiga as well, his doing this great cause he has one of the best partner in this tournament lui is completely a team player and helping drum at all time . it would be a great battle but the end result for me would end like how but ended during the legend fest alot of people are downplaying aiga cause his not being super great as a partner when he doesn't needed too that's why lane is so boring and lame as a partner to shu his great own his own to the point he could've participate in this alone a very boring guy. but with aiga the name him take a backseat to make ranjiro good same with drum cause they needed it more than aiga or lui .
If we’re talking about actions throughout the season then yes, he did do better than them both but to be fair, the legends festival also effectively doubles as an arc for him hence his extra focus so it’s kind of hard to count that seeing as Drum and Ranjiro never actually got arcs. Another thing, although Aiga was the one who took out Rantaro and Valkyrie it was purely because of Ranjiro’s tornado. It’s the same as Drum doing the attacking during raging tempest, although Lui doesn’t attack he is still directly responsible for the boost Drum receives that’s just the way the move is meant to go. Without Hyper Tornado the move wouldn’t really be possible. When Aiga got doubled out with Drum Ranjiro was easy prey but there were multiple reasons for that. Firstly he was completely out of stamina and energy due to holding out Hyper Tornado for so long and the storm plate also threw Ragnaruk directly at Longinus, so not only was it out of energy but also completely vulnerable to Longinus attack it wasn’t really a fair clash at all. As for Drum, unlike Aiga, Drum actually loses with grace and isn’t easily knocked out or eliminated. Throughout this tournament Aiga has been a total glass cannon. The bros eliminated him and Ranjiro easily. He would have lost to Lane right off the bat had Ranjiro not saved him from LTE and when him and Free knocked each other out Achilles landed first implying that they would have lost had they been the two remaining bladers. He hasn’t done anything good in this tournament without being boosted by Ranjiro and even then, he only won once. If we are a basing a 1v1 between Ranjiro and Aiga on current power level and not past season performance or shenanigans I’m sure Ranjiro it would at the very least be close.
Not bad eh?
