| Makishima Shogo definitely... |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Makishima Shougo from Psycho-Pass definitely comes to mind. Ginko from Mushishi. You know, white hair tending to symbolize wisdom. Or (usually untapped) power. Gotta love 'em. |

| What about Hikigaya Hachiman? His philosophies are most relatable for normal people. |

| Probably Lelouch even though he was a bit snobby at times. He might be as mart as Bruce Wayne. |

| Hikigaya Hachiman is actually a nice example. But you shouldn't forget that his way of thinking is so twisted... and biased. I disliked that part of him and because of that I wouldn't call him a "good philosopher" . Yagami Light, well, he is just a tool. Personally I would go with Sasaki of the Haruhi Suzumiya series. As I think about it, I also liked Rika Furude and Frederica Bernkastel. |

squee01 said: Toua Tokuchi from One Outs I'm not quite sure if he would fit under your category but out of all the anime/manga I've seen/read he is the most intelligent I've come across and has not been beaten yet from what I can recall. ^^ This. Tokuchi always wins when it comes to gambling, any form of gambling, and the majority of gambling is based on luck. How the fuck do you always win when it usually comes down to luck? |

Leon-Gun said: Not even philosophers understand philosophy.Kinoholic said: They don't understand philosophy to begin with.I think a lot of people are missing the "philosophically speaking" part of the question. OT: What do you mean by philosophically intelligent? Knowing a lot of philosophy? Having a clear philosophy? Sounding philosophical? Engaging in philosophy? |

| Why are people mentioning Hikigaya Hachiman? Not to say he was stupid or anything, or that I didn't like him. He was a good character.. but wasn't all that philosophical. His outlook on life and his monologues are all pretty much him projecting (and at the same time, denying) his own depression onto the world. He's very dishonest with himself. I mean, I really liked the guy, which is why I wanted him to change. He was clearly unhappy, both with himself and with his life. Anybody who says otherwise simply didn't pay attention. I felt sorry for the guy. I feel like people who celebrate his depression and melancholic outlook on life missed the point. (Or are just like Hikigaya themselves: depressed, searching for something/somebody to relate to, all the while completely in denial of their own depression). |

| Edward Elric in my opinion! And Hohenheim as well. They both had book smarts and good decision making skills. And they were both philosophical at times. And none of this detracted from their character. I believe they were smart beyond the character timelines. |

-VividDeath- said: What exactly does it mean when someone is "philosophical"? I only know philosophy as certain subjects of inquiry, like chemistry, or literature. And it certainly doesn't make sense to call someone "chemical", or "literary"... not ordinarily in any case.The reason why I watch Anime in the first place is those highly philosophical characters, whose notes are on par with the most acknowledged philosophies. |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| This guy I mean he is very knowledgeable, and helped these 5 high school students with their past. |
| Ginko from mushishi really suits the philosopher style imo |
| "Okarin... Okarin... I don't know who that is, but when I say his name, I feel warm inside" - Mayuri "Mayushii" Shiina |
| I'll never forget William B. "Will" Baxter from a filler episode from Eureka Seven. A man who finds himself in a very relatable situation and sticks with it, with a strength and optimism I viciously envy. Maybe not intelligent but certainly enlightened. |
| Hachiman Hikigaya. He knows what's up. |

| My vote goes to Okabe Rintarou. He exemplifies a merge of intelligence and wisdom. At first shrouded in a veil of self delusion and fantasy to aid the psychological trauma of his dearest childhood friend. Over the course of the series he develops as a truely moral and knowledgeable character. Even when given the option to rule the world or gain anything he'd ever want through time travel he declines simply saying that life should have no do overs and that no one knows what the future holds, that is why its potential is infinite. He also happens to be a talented genius in terms of engineering and physics. |
The self is because it believes it is. |

 |
| Johan Liebert |
| Oreki Houtarou from Hyouka comes to mind in this case. |
| What about Shinya Kougami from Psycho-pass? |

| Light and L in Death note are pretty damn intelligent. William Twining from Makai Ouji is pretty smart. I always though Kyouya's natural personality from OHSHC was naturally intelligent. That's all I can think of based on the animes I've watched. |

| This question needs to be rephrased before I can weigh in. Philosophy is attributed to understanding basic truths, and one who searches for this truth e.g Philosophers are attributed to being wise, not intelligent. What is unclear to me is the following: 1. Is your question asking "Which anime character is the best allegorical representation of true intelligence?" or 2. "Which character's philosophical beliefs are the closest representation of basic truth?" or 3. Something entirely different. Please clarify. |
| the most philosophical character i can think of might be Yลซko from xxxholic?- "there is no coincidence, only inevitability." |
| Goku: If these guy's are after us, Maybe Sanzo's also... Hakkai: A Fake Sanzo? Goku/Gojyo/Hakkai: I wanna beat the crap out of it! Goku: (about his broken leg) "My leg needs meat." Sanzo: "Nice try." |
