Besides, the fact that for all of Ryuuren's strangeness... the fact that the Ran clan literally placed their entire future on Ryuuren even if he doesn't like it one bit shows that there's more to being the leader of the Ran than just a powerful political leader. It can't be merely genius.
yeah, not simply that... a leader of the Ran clan is also someone who can't be manipulated by people for their own political gains (which is clearly exhibited by Ryuuren)

I can remember something Shuurei said about Ryuuren in the last part of season 1 (when he was consoling her... telling her it's alright to cry...), then Ryuuren replies that 'that's what it means to be Ran Ryuuren'

/me goes to look it up...

Shuurei mentioned '...you know a lot about the phenomenal (or everything that's going on)', to which Ryuuren mentioned that reply --> like, "knowing a lot about the phenomenal is what it means to be Ran Ryuuren"
