Katakuri vs Sonny LoSpecchio
Two villains, one criminological theory: Focal concerns. We compare Katakuri and Sonny LoSpecchio: their profile, how dangerous they are, and where they meet and part.
Katakuri and Sonny LoSpecchio share neither a film nor a universe, but they share something deeper: the same criminological theory explains them, Focal concerns. That makes their face-off more than a “who would win?”: it is the same mechanism of crime taking two different shapes. The biggest gap is in manipulation: Sonny LoSpecchio beats Katakuri by 25 points.

The index weighs violence, manipulation and intelligence, and subtracts empathy (the colder, the more dangerous). It is a reading for debate, not a sentence: the theory matters more than the score.
