THE ROLE OF AYANOKOJI KIYOTAKA CARRIED OUT THE SOCIAL HIERARCHY IN THE CLASSROOM OF THE ELITE USING PSYCHOLOGY THEORY

Abstract

This study aims to explore how the character of Ayanokoji Kiyotaka plays a role in organizing and developing the social structure of the organization in Shougo Kasunaga's Classroom of the Elite, by applying Sigmund Freud's theory of psychoanalysis. In addition, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka functions as a protagonist who openly refuses to take the top position, but still acts as a social motivator in the classroom through covert and manipulative tactics. This research adopts a qualitative approach using descriptive analysis, where data is obtained from observing the interactions, behaviors, and characters in the 12 episodes of the anime's first season. The findings of this study show that Ayanokoji applies strategies of influence, countering the reduction of invisible power, as well as utilizing leadership as psychological mastery, besides that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka has a strong desire after he comes out of the white room, which is to live a normal life and socialize with her environment like humans who have a level of intelligence in general. The results of this study emphasize that power is not always clearly identifiable, but can be achieved by mastering symbolic and emotional intelligence. However, the results of this study have not shown significant findings, and there is hope that future research can reveal more clear results by future researchers
