Top Smartest Anime Characters of All Time
If you have watched various anime shows in various genres, you might have realized that the main characters win the day not only because of their physical power, but also their smartness.
The brainy characters in the Anime series particularly have some unorthodox ways to solve the problems that are facing them. They might use their smartness for good or bad purposes. Therefore, there are different reactions to these characters since not all of them are the good guys. Here are the top smartest anime characters of all time, our version.
Light Yagami
Light Yagami is the main character of the Death Note anime series. Light or Raito is a very talented guy with tons of skills that will make you envy him. He is handsome, smart, and cool. That makes him popular in his class. But he often gets bored with the world. Until one day he finds a book called Death Note, which is his life changer. With the book, he wants to create his own universe where he rules and there are no criminals who bother others.
L Lawliet
He is the rival of Light Yagami from the Death Note anime series. In the anime, he is slated as the world’s most renowned international private detectives. With his unusual methods, he managed to prove that Light is the Kira, the mass murderer who uses the Death Note to outdistance his killing. L as such powerful deduction skills. I personally like L more than Sherlock Holmes. No offense.
Shikamaru Nara
If you are a fan of Naruto, you’d agree with this character on the list. He is the master of strategy in the ninja world. Though presented as a lazy person, he is a great thinker. His unique points of views and intellect have brought him to many successes in different combat situations. He even defeated one akatsuki member alone, something that Konoha Leaves village members will struggle to do.
Levi Ackerman
He is not the tallest, bulkiest, most talented soldier in the Walls. But he is definitely the most intelligent person in the Special Operations Squad. Besides his intelligence, he also has such great physical powers. Levi is one of the only two known surviving members of the Ackerman family in the Walls, besides Mikasa. Because of the bad past with Monarchy, the Ackerman family is almost extinct. Perhaps that’s the reason why he has such great warrior blood in his body. Levi is a death tone. He rarely shows his emotions. Despite being cold, he has good morals and cares for his squad members.
Conan Edogawa
Conan Edogawa is the shrunken version of Shinichi Kudo, one of the greatest detectives in history. Shinichi accidentally took a poison which made his body shrink to its younger version. Turned into a seven years old boy, he smartly hid his true identity and used it as leverages to solve some cases at the site. Conan knows who made him experience such unfortunate events. Black Organization is the culprit. He wants to take down the organization and hopefully find the cure to the poison to get him back to normal again.
