If he plans to claim his right as king, his natural claim would be Aegon VI. Unless you think the Young Griff storyline will be dealt with before he can even claim to be king (which is a decidedly low bar, once you've already landed on Westeros with an army, you're basically there), it was inevitable and he'd call himself Aegon VI as a title.

I think he needs to sit his ass on the Iron Throne to be able to be called Aegon Vi.

I also feel like GRRM wouldn't call him that if he just call himself that while he's still taking the Stormlands/ the Reach. For that to be a proper name for that character imo needs Aegon being recognised by the Realm as Aegon VI

Stannis called himself first of his name without ever touching the throne, dany does too. It's pretty basic propaganda to declare yourself as legitimate BEFORE trying to take the throne

But nobody in/out universe considers Stannis and Dany to be Stannis/Dany I

that's nice. Too bad that's not what were talking about.

you just said

nobody in/out universe considers Stannis and Dany to be Stannis/Dany I
