Many of you guys seem to like him. I am wondering why.
What I saw until now is a greedy and narcissistic person.

Just within one episode he developed two reasons for a war:
Land rights and money.

Will he bring any benefit to the story of progress?

Ryusui is liked for similar reasons Kamina is liked in gurren lagann, for his charisma, high ambitions and ability to motovate people. He can seem quite stuck up and greedy at first, but he is not evil. He knows what is right and wrong and would never cross his friends and people he trusts. In my opinion he is my favourite character.

I was weary of him at first as well, but he quickly became one of my favorites as the story progressed through the manga. He’s not nearly as bad as he comes off at first, and becomes a central piece in the Kingdom of Science.

He brought plenty of benefits piloting pretty much all the vehicles that are made down the rode. Despite him looking greedy he was the least concern out of the upcoming people that are antagonists, Senku formed a strong trust with him that feels natural and just right.
Senku skips the explanations and Ryusui just gets it immediately, the personification of "say no more fam, I got you"

Hhhmmmmmm.......

Ryusui is my favourite character in the series. From the very first time I saw him in the manga back when the Island Arc was just starting, I had a feeling I was going to like him alot.

He is greedy, yes. And he doesnt really stop being greedy, even til the end. But the reason for his greed is amazing. He has alot of hidden depths.

He is very entertaining and great addition, always love more cunning characters like him, Senku and Gen. They bring more comedies :)

It will definitely seem that way to people at first, because he *is* quite greedy. But once season 3 comes out, you'll get to know more about him and his personality in later episodes/chapters. Believe me, he's not going to be totally "greedy and narcissistic". There's a reason why people like him :D

The so called money and rights are only appeared here. In later story, there are none from him and pretty much like it didn't exist in the first place.

Nah bro, may man Ryusui is good, LOL

Him being greedy is more akin to ambition. His “greed” is of the good kind (yep, believe it or not). It’s not a “parasitic” one-way street where he only benefits to the detriment of his comrades. In fact, his most of initiatives led/will lead to the betterment of his allies. Season 3 will probably touch deeper his story on why he is who he is through Francois’ perspective.

Even if he gets out of line, he is no match against the Senku-Gen combo as you saw in the movie how he can be easily duped by the duo’s shenanigans.
(And the troll faces the Senku and Gen makes when they fleece him of his money are absolutely hilarious! LOL)

I feel bad for Ryuusui's voice actor, he's kinda underrated and only has few roles, but he might be possible if the Chainsawman staff and studio mappa choosing him as Denji's va. Also i like Ryota Suzuki he is my favorite japanese va when he voiced Bisco, Ishigami and Trey clover but again he well deserve as Denji's va.

Ryuusui is a chad through and through. The deeds he accomplishes later on and the sacrifice of his dream later on makes him the most lovable character.
Although Gen plays him like a fiddle from time to time.

When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

I haven't read the manga. Only this episode. I had big suspicions about Ryusui, the journalist presented him very badly :D

However, every minute I liked it more and more! I think he has a great business upbringing. And he behaves accordingly. I like people who are very passionate about something. And Ryusui is one of them.
Yes, he is mercantile. But why is it bad? Great rule: don't do anything for free.
Waiting for them to start paying people salaries, hehe
