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.
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.
