WHAT IF...
What if Kuroro died?
Who should be the next leader of the Ryodan? Here's some arguments for
different people: (this is all opinionated...not factual)
Shalnark: (I think it should be him...) He seems to be most capable of leading
the Ryodan besides Kuroro. He's smart and proficient at making
strategies--allowing him to be successfully lead the Ryodan out of troubles but
still get the stolen goods they want.
Then, of course, a leader needs to be able to break arguments--otherwise if the
Spiders were quarreling amongst themselves all the time, they wouldn't focus
well on the task at hand, not forming a very effective team. Also, the leader
cannot be involved in major quarrels with others, for who will be there to
restore order?
The power of the Spider lies in their ability to complement each others
weaknesses, and if they were to not work as a group, their effectiveness would
drop. (Some of them would still be pretty good at one on one, but not
everyone...) Shalnark seems to be pretty good at being a peacemaker, or at
least better than the others, so he should be able to promote the groupwork
effectivity.
Obviously, there might be other problems. For instance, Shalnark is rather
carefree and enjoys sitting back and letting others do the leading. He isn't
the type of person who can lead with authority, thus not forming a formidable
leader whom the others might take commands with seriousness.
At the same time, the leader is supposed to be pretty powerful, right?
Well...considering that all Shalnark has to do is point his cellphone in the
direction of his prey to control them, its pretty easy for him to finish
someone up...
Phinks: Phinks acted like the temporary leader when the Ryodan were in Greed
Island and in the ant arc. He has a rather dominate personality, capable of
declaring something and getting the others to all do as he says. Almost
everyone respects his opinion, and mostly go along with him.
His flaw, however, is that he is unable to make good strategies, as he'd said
himself in the ant arc, "Well...I always sucked at estimating..." Estimating is
certainly involved in making good strategies, and if he can't do that, how can
the rest of the Ryodan be sure they're doing the right thing?
