Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Ultimate Animator: Ryota is an incredibly skilled animator and is able to move people to tears through his anime. The secret techniques behind this are sensory tricks that he uses to manipulate a person's brain, some of which are compared to "brainwashing techniques". The secret is that his technique is not just about including Subliminal Messaging, but all kinds of techniques like subtle changes in coloration to stimulate the visual cortex, induction of eye movement to manipulate memory of the experience, and sound to control the viewer's focus. His talents would be used for far darker purposes thanks to Junko Enoshima. Using Ryota's techniques with a recording of The Tragedy of Hope's Peak Academy, she produced a mass brainwashing video to setting off The Tragedy that consumed the world.
**Hope Video: Ryota's perfect original animation. A video that effectively brainwashes the viewer into accepting hope over despair. He kept a copy of this video on his cell phone. Watching the video for even a few seconds leaves the viewer in a hypnotized state, allowing Ryota to command them as he wishes. However, it is implied that prolonged exposure is needed to make the effects permanent.
