There are a lot of strong anime characters each with their own characteristic powers and abilities, these abilities give them great strength and power yet there are still characters without any such abilities but are still considered great warriors, some even in their verse. some of them are: 10. Suzaku there's no denying the fact that Suzaku was a force to behold, even without powers of geass he is still considered one of, if not the best pilot in the series. he can easily destroy most enemies through the use of his Lancelot. he does have some anger issues and an inability to commit crime therefore he is positioned low on this list. even still he is a force to behold. 9. Brawler Now... not many people might know about this guy, as he isn't as mainstream as the others. quick introduction: Brawler is a criminal in the anime series known as Akudama Drive. He is considered one of the most dangerous criminals (akudama) known to have the best fighting ability amongst...
Shikamaru is undoubtedly one of the smartest characters in the entire naruto series but in my opinion, he is still very overrated.
Shikamaru is a ninja of the Hidden leaf and a member of the Nara clan, despite his lazy nature he has enough wits to allow him to prevail in combat.
Shikamaru has always been known by his mates and even anime fans in real life to be very smart, in fact, his IQ was reported to be above 200 even when Albert Einstein's IQ was 160.
To me, the IQ of >200 that was given to Shikamaru is well exaggerated, why? because he does have enough feats to support that level of IQ.
Shikamaru's smartest feat was defeating an immortal person that seemed unbeatable without losing a single drop of blood. but I feel that this just contributes to having a great battle IQ.
maybe, how Ninja perceive smartness is different from how we know it today, as ninjas, their main goal is to complete their mission thereby Shikamaru's said IQ was likely to be battle related because apart from defeating Deidara he doesn't have any noteworthy feat in the series.
I've seen cases of anime fans comparing him to other smart anime characters and I just look in awe at how ignorant people can be because it's their favorite anime.
Now just to prove the point ill mention characters that are smarter than Shikamaru.
1. light yagame (death note)
2. L (death note)
3. lelouche vi Brittania (code geass)
4. Sherlock Holmes (Moriarty the Patriot)
5. William James Moriarty (Moriarty the Patriot)
6. schneizel el brittania (code geass)
7. Norman (promised neverland)
8. Ray (promised neverland)
9. Ayanokoji (classroom of the elites)
10. Joseph joestar (Jojo's bizarre adventure)
11. Yuuichi Katagiri (Tomodachi game)
12. black Zetsu (naruto)
13. fudo Shinichi (Detective Conan)
14. Shiro (no game no life)
15. sora (no game no life)
16. ranpo Edogawa (bungou stray dogs)
the list goes on and on, but the fact remains that every character that I've mentioned here has far greater predictive ability, intellect, and strategizing ability than Shikamaru
just so you guys don't misinterpret me, Shikamaru is definitely smart but he isn't as smart as people make him out to be.
