No great anime protagonist gets to the finale without a rival pushing them the entire way there. Some rivals are insufferably talented, driven by an ego that refuses to accept anyone else being better. Some start as competitors and grow into something warmer, pushing each other higher out of mutual respect. Some begin as bitter enemies, clashing violently before circumstances force them onto the same side. And some remain almost impossible to read, an equal in power whose true motives stay just out of reach.
But what would your anime rival actually be like?
This quiz looks at how you handle competition, what kind of relationships push you to grow, and the type of person who naturally gets under your skin in the most productive way.

Or maybe they remain a mystery for seasons, someone whose power matches yours exactly, whose motives you're still trying to decode.
