Ranger is interesting because he tends to value people based on different metrics than a normal person would. Rather than valuing a person by how much he likes them or cares about them, it's based on objective factors like how useful they are, how reliable they are, and how easy they are to work with. Because he bases his priority system on objective factors, he will often prioritize somebody who he's not close to and does like over a person he knows well and cares for, and so when it comes down to it the highest compliments you can get from him aren't of fondness but that he sees you as a worthwhile person.

With that out of the way, he sees Amami as "reliable." He's not the brightest or the best as he's used to, but he's a person who does know how to work with what he has and who can be depended on to see things through. He doesn't shy away from things, and he's a person who is willing to put himself at risk and go out of his way for whoever he's working with. Those are important factors for a person who's used to that kind of environment. ASUNARO is far more toxic and sacrificing, but ultimately the triage system would be yourself > ASUNARO employees > everyone else. Aside from being too kind and self-sacrificing, Amami hits all the right notes for Ranger to go to him.

I think he trusts Ammai more than most and is willing to coordinate with and share information with him, albeit he doesn't think of Amami as very smart. He's slow, but Ranger has accepted that humans on the whole are slow in the same way that cats assume that their humans are just big kittens that they need to teach how to hunt. So, he has a certain level of respect and a willingness to share information and soundboard with him that I don't think you see with many other people. He'll go to others for specific ideas or for their specific skills, but he won't necessarily go out of his way for them.

On a more emotional level (since Ranger assessments always lean so heavily logic,) I think he does enjoy Amami's company and being around him. Ranger can handle high energy individuals like Midori well enough, but I think he's at his best with people who are willing to slow down the conversation and let him collect his thoughts, or otherwise work through it, since once you take him out of information-based conversations he takes a little while. So, basically you have to either be tolerant or highly intelligent. Amami is the latter, and he's someone who will approach him and that is easy for him to carry conversation with, and I think he likes that about him.

Also, I do think he recognizes that Amami has a different kind of intelligence, and when Komaeda's not being a freak about it I think he'd actually really enjoy hearing Amami's personal accounts on what he's done and where he's been - people who have lived through things just have a different perspective, and he likes hearing about those things.

Finally, I think him vouching for Ranger in the meeting thread really puzzled him. Ranger does handle himself well, but it's also just that he knows who and what he is and doesn't expect anyone else to put that kind of trust or care into him, much less speak up on his behalf when it's really not necessary - I think it's kind of jarring and upsetting, but not in a bad way, so Amami really did get points for that. I might be forgetting something, but I think Amami is the first one to do so, and if not he's in the top three and I think that's meaningful with someone who's so used to a toxic, back-stabbing environment.

So tl;dr - He likes him, thinks he's reliable, trusts him, and is friends with him and he just doesn't realize it.

Kobato is a dumbass and he's throwing him into the void so we can make it recede a few more inches.
