Is Yuki Hayashi the BEST Composer in Modern Anime?

Discussion

He created the soundtracks for:

- Haikyuu

- My Hero Academia

- Welcome to the Ballroom

- Run with the Wind

- Medalist

-Wistoria: Wand and Sword

-Backflip

-Dive

-Sakamoto Days

- Love All Play

And many others.

I feel as though his range, combined with the QUALITY of each of these soundtracks, firmly establishes him as the GOAT.

Do you think there's anyone who can rival this amount of quality scores?

I know that Kensuke Ushio is solid on piano, and he's probably Hayashi's main rival. But is there anyone else?

I made a video analyzing Yuki Hayashi's work, if you don't know who he is:
