1.) What you ask me in your first paragraph is exactly the question we're discussing. I've given you 2 or 3 reasons that suggest that he was a Ranker at that point, nothing but assumptions but as I've stated it more than once, there's no hard evidence for this. There's also nothing in the plot stating that he wasn't already a Ranker at that point. So it's not like my line of arguing requires an extra assumption. Both scenarios do.

By the way would you be so kind as to state your theory? It's just straight up wrong, so I really don't know which part of it you adjusted at what point and to what degree.

2.) I don't quite get your point here. I think that SIU chose a different term from the one that is translated as Sobriquet.

3.) What other choice do you have? How about not using a source without any reference? How about not making a conclusion on something that you cannot draw a conclusion on? Quite simple, really. If you actually took a close look at this page it very much suggests exactly the opposite from what you're trying to argue. It's worded in a way that suggests that Enryu immediately became #1 after killing the Guardian(there might be some paperwork to be done but it doesn't suggest a long time, his blog post also doesn't mention anything about how he was perceived afterwards). The person who wrote this clearly took the info from the High Rankers profile and while the wording there is somewhat suggestive as well, I really wouldn't try to read too much into it. I'd honestly prefer it if the wording was exactly the same, so that there aren't any more differences in how you could interpret them, while I would either way not 100% trust the wording on the translation.

4.) I still don't think you get what I tried to tell you 14 times by now. Or you choose to ignore it, because it's uncomfortable. And why do you assume that the other word for sobriquet, alias,... has a deeper meaning. That is an assumption you are making based on what?

In what world do you live that dictionaries have all possible translations and synonmys?

I'd like to have one of those, too, please, or maybe not because it would have 30.000 pages.
