榎宮祐『ノーゲーム・ノーライフ』MADHOUSE
Sora In games, his role falls within the humanities domain. He excels in fields related to history, society, economics, politics, and law (rules)—all areas involving human agency. Leveraging game theory, rhetoric, and persuasion, he deceives opponents to secure victory. However, he strictly refrains from lying to himself. Lacking inherent talent or strength, he has honed a strategy of pulling adversaries down to his own level, mastering these skills as a result.
Shiro Her role in the game is in the science field. She is good at fields that do not involve will, such as phenomena that can be described using mathematics, things that involve logic, and laws of nature. Because she is such a genius, she was not understood by those around her and was isolated. She is said to be “unmeasurable” in all games called “intelligence tests”. She is good at chess and first-person shooters, and in chess she won 20 consecutive games against a computer program that defeated the Grandmaster.
