Top 20 Intellectual Anime characters

In Anime, there are plenty of smart characters who may not be strong physically, but they can certainly win battles just by using their vast intellects. They have certainly showed great intellectual fortitude under great pressure.

To find out who fans think is the best anime intellectual out there, Charapedia has once again conducted an online poll and asked everyone who do they think has the best brain out there. With 10,000 voters, 56.7% of which are males while 43.3% of which are females, here are Charapedia’s Top 20:

20) Shouichi Imayoshi (Kuroko no Basuke): 78 points

19) Yuki Nagato (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya): 101 points

18) Kiyomaro Takamine (Zatch Bell): 107 votes

17) Hidetoshi Dekisugi (Doraemon): 117 points

16) Ami Mizuno (Sailor Moon): 123 points

15) Armin Arlert (Shingeki no Kyojin): 140 points

14) Izaya Orihara (Durarara!): 146 points

13) Keima Katsuragi (Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai): 152 points

12) Makoto Hanamiya (Kuroko no Basuke): 182 points

11) Sora (No Game No Life): 192 Points

10) L (Death Note): 212 Points

9) Shintaro Kisaragi (Mekaku City Actors): 257 points

8) Shintarou Midorima (Kuroko no Basuke): 264 votes

7) Tatsuya Shiba (Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei): 293 points

6) Tsubasa Hanekawa (Monogatari series): 363 points

5) Shiro (No Game No Life): 366 points

4) Seijuro Akashi (Kuroko no Basuke): 503 points

3) Conan Edogawa (Meitantei Conan): 639 points

2) Light Yagami (Death Note): 659 points

1) Lelouch Vi Britannia (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion): 718 votes

Yup, Taking the top spot on Charapedia’s list is Lelouch Lamperouge or Lelouch Vi Britannia. Lulu is a brilliant chess master which often leads him to dupe even the most experienced battle strategists Britannia has to offer. His use of his mind control Geass is nothing short of genius and his tactics are unpredictable.

Light Yagami meanwhile tops his nemesis L as the former takes #2 while the latter only places 10th. Kuroko no Basuke meanwhile has three entries in the list with Rakuzan point guard Seijuro Akashi taking #4 behind brilliant kid-detective Conan Edogawa.

Shiro from No Game No Life Anime meanwhile topped her brother Sora as the former takes #5 while the latter only places 11th. Both consider themselves as one player (Kuhaku), yet individually, looks like fans think Shiro is smarter than her brother.

Other intellectual characters however weren’t able to make it to the top 20 and they include Naruto’s brilliant strategist Shikamaru Nara and even Conan Edogawa’s rival, Kaito Kid.
