The problem with most "smart" anime characters is that they aren't smart at all. Everyone around them are just fucking idiots
>>143465301
Urahara Kisuke invented a magic rock that can reality warp and screw the fundamental laws of his own series.
>>143465376
Reinhard and Yang aren't surrounded by idiots post season 1 when they weed out all the old admirals that are only their due to social status or surviving long enough to get promoted.

>>143465577
so not like you lol
>Asuka anywhere near the top
>needed a high school boy failing science to figure out how to beat an Angel in a volcano
>couldn't figure out she was being played the entire series
>couldn't figure out to go for the cores or the Entry Plugs of the MP Evas, despite multiple instances of even non-S2 engine-equipped Evas regenerating themselves
That degree wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. Probably a pity degree from NERV Berlin Technical School.
>>143465632
yea she's just here because I like her I admit
UP MY THREAD
>>143465770
UP MY SLEEVES
so everybody agree about my list then.
>>143465632
This.
Asuka is fucking retarded.
>>143465301
Light defeated L. He is smarter.
>light that low
>not 1 or 2
Where's Lelouch?
>>143465301
Light isn't smart at all.
>>143465301
>14 Asuka Soryu Langley
>15 Light Yagami
????
I don't have an issue with Light being so low but what the fuck?
>>143465632
performing under pressure isn't easy anon
>>143465301
Light was more intelligent than L, according to the author (9/10 vs. 8/10). And Asuka's "intelligence" is a joke because she never demonstrates any reasoning or planning ability whatsoever.
>>143465301
WHERE IS LELOUCH VI BRITANNIA?
THE SMARTEST GUY?
>>143465783
IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES
>>143467082
L knew Light was Kira, that scene in the rain pretty much confirms it. He only lost because he had the burden of working with the confines of the justice system and couldn't prove it 100%
The fact that someone with an anonymous killing device allowed someone to get that close, and get caught in the ending, pretty much makes them an idiot.
>>143467350
She literally never once shows a single ounce of intelligence. It's all "NO TRUST ME VIEWER, ASUKA IS TOTALLY SMART, SHE'S A COLLEGE GRADUATE AT 14" and not a single "oh hey that was actually a smart thing for Asuka to do." The best you get from her is the genius Matariel plan of "Alright, I guess I'll block the acid while you shoot it." Really a brilliant mind there.
>>143467436
My guess is she's school smart,but so fucked in the head that it doesn't make a difference in the field.
>>143467408
IIRC Ohba said that L had little actual reason to think Light was Kira. He was just so obsessed with him that he wanted it to be true. Also, "the plot required it". Light got fucked over by his antagonist's plot armor.
>>143467373

>>143465301
>no lelouch
>no Lel Elf
shit list
>>143467436
That's one thing that always grinds my gears when rewatching Eva. Asuka's informed intelligence is handled so amateurishly a fanfic writer could do it better.
>>143467646
She never demonstrates any book smarts either. The concept of thermal expansion for example is basic middle school physics.
>>143465301
>no Lelouch
>>143465376
It's because the writers aren't smart so they have to compensate by making the character's plans seem smarter than they actually are.
>>143465301
>>143467778
I figure she was just bluffing when she said she graduated from college, there's no way a girl that dumb could achieve anything that requires intelligence
Akiyama would eat L for breakfast.
Yang, Johan and Reinhard are smart, but nowhere near the levels of Akiyama or Akagi.
intelligence is often hard to compare, shitty writers can easily write that their characters have 200-IQ and are a prodigy, despite being shit at school/lazy or whatever.
Either that, or they just go full retard with stupid asspulls that were supposedly planned 10 steps ahead.
>>143465301
Where is Albert Einstein
>>143468199
That would actually be an interesting twist, though I don't think Asuka is ever shown to be particularly dishonest when it comes to concrete things like that. Her feelings, sure, but she isn't a habitual liar. I'm fairly certain it's just garden-variety bad writing. Not even an overall excellently-written show like NGE is immune to fuckups.
>>143467355
This is also the same author who flat out admitted he had to asspull Light learning the name of that one competent female CIA agent because he couldn't think of a scenario where she wouldn't succeed in killing Light.
>>143468650
How did he learn it again? I barely remember anything about DN, let alone her
>>143465301
Aren't you forgetting someone?
>>143465301
> rank 9001 you're waifu
>>143465301
You forgot someone.
Here's something for the stealth rec thread.
Yui is smarter than all those retards.
Smartest of them all
Have the chart
>>143468725
She just flat out stops in the middle of the street and introduces herself to him with her real name because she thinks he's a student.
This is while she's been using a fake name her entire stay in Japan because she's already assumed giving out her real name might let Kira kill her. It's really out of character and blatant but the author said she was just too smart to be left in the story.
>>143467082
L didn't have a magic notebook to kill people with and would refuse it either way.
That's like saying Saitama is smarter than L because he punched him for insisting 2+2=5 was wrong. Clearly not smarter but had the power to easily kill him.
Also Demonbane is smarter than that entire list and anyone in fiction because he can access the Akashic Records and even rewrite them.
Demonbane knows everything and can can change what you know to be true to be wrong by rewriting the laws himself.
>>143468957
>no Boku no Pico
Retard chart confirmed.
>>143465301
You forgot onii-sama.
>>143469192
>because she thinks he's a student.
It was worse than that. He told her he was working directly on the investigation.
>>143469197
>le demonbane meme
Hajun can erase concepts, good luck with that faggot robot
>>143467898
Even if the writer is intelligent enough to write a smart story, why bother? The man child audience generally isn't intelligent to catch it unless things are outright stated or infodumped.
>>143469579
He can summon a version of Hajun as a demonbane and my dad could beat yours in a fight. Deal with it faggot.
>>143469380
Who needs a desk with 16 drawers?
>>143469276
It's anime for smart people, not anime for geniuses.
>>143469197
This is not a power chart thread

Bitch please desu
>>143465376
>you didn't win, everyone else just had comparitively smaller successes
Fucking commies
Giorno with GER should be #1 of every single list,because it's just that bullshit.
Step aside bozos, this guy has an IQ of 5000.
Light was just a teenager while L was a grown man super detective of the world.
Light is smarter for being able to utilise all his tools and defeat L. Don't know how you think L is smarter while forgetting all the shit Light had to do to beat him. That potato chip scene was ingenious.
I was gonna suggest Shikamaru, but then I spent five minutes yelling at the screen as he tried to figure out what Jiraiya's final message was referring to.
>>143465301
>no Kaito
He ought to be directly above Shinichi because he gives up at the last second every time when Kaito does the old glider diversion.

Kaiji gets screwed over by literally everyone. Akagi is in the OP though.
>>143473710
True, he did fall for a lot of dumb shit.
>>143465419
Reinhard and Yang are textbook examples of "they're smart because the story says they are" as opposed to them being written in a manner that makes them seem smart though
even people who like the series typically acknowledge that much
Interesting, a thread dedicated to spelling "Washu" wrong.

Is he really that smart?

Jesus

I don't think so. He's just talented and strong, he has a good heart too. But he's kind of a jackass from what we've seen.

Lfags BTFO.
