Don’t you just love watching a couple of anime geniuses on your screen, trying to masterfully solve a case and make you go “wow, that’s smart”? We do love them, too! And we’ve collected a small list of such characters for you.
So if you’re in the mood for something clever, grab some popcorn and start watching one of these series.
6. Dazai — Bungou Stray Dogs
This genius detective knows everything ahead of time. Dazai is not just smart, he’s also incredibly enigmatic, no one knows his true intentions unless he himself allows them to know. No mystery is going to live unsolved if he’s on the case, and there’s hardly anything that can surpass his mind.
Lelouch’s plans are always grandiose, and, what’s more important, they do work. He’s a great manipulator and a wonderful strategist, ready to make a sacrifice in order to achieve the desired result.
Despite looking like a regular school student at first, Yuuichi later reveals his true sinister side. And this side comes with exceptional intelligence. Although Yuuichi himself claims that he’s not the best when it comes to cognitive skills, he shows a great deal of brilliance. His manipulation abilities always lead him to where he wants to go, and never fail to surprise the audience.
Fans call Senku “a human Wikipedia”, as there’s nothing the man doesn’t know. He is very logical and possesses great scientific and technological knowledge. Due to being this brilliant and resourceful, he couldn’t be left off our list.
2. Johan — Monster
Even though some fans think that Johan’s intelligence is a case of “tell don’t show”, and there’s not enough explanation as to how he pulls off a lot of his clever plans, we cannot forget about him. His wits are unmatched in the series, and he’s always capable of using his charisma and brains to manipulate the ones around him and play them masterfully.
We just can’t choose only one of these geniuses, forgive us. Fans have been arguing about these two for ages, and there’s still no 100% confidence as to who is smarter. Watching them coming to their conclusions is the core of the series, and is exactly what makes it so entertaining. L and Light’s cat-and-mouse chase will definitely surprise you with exceptionally intelligent decisions.
After all, brainy is the new sexy.
