Strategists, schemers, con artists, planners, gamblers, puppet masters, characters like them.

I'll say Hiruma from Eyeshield 21. He plans everything so quickly and ingeniously while in the middle of games, even though it usually comes down to an all-or-nothing gamble anyways.

Kamina. With a strategy like "kick logic out and just do it anyways!" there's no way you can lose.

Lelouch is an easy victory for this topic...


But this guy is also a great strategist:

This sounds about right. Although the topic says "anime" and I can't really remember him being as awesome as in Battle Tendency when Stardust Crusaders rolled around.

Right, right.
He became a total jobber in part 3 and a total joke by part 4.

At least when Jotaro got demoted he was still "badass mentor" and not "jobber mentor".
Joseph got relegated to a stepping stone in Jotaro figuring things out while Jotaro in 4/6 was still taking action himself.

Well his personality was quite quirky in part 2 as well, so that didn't change much in part 3. He was just stuck with THE lamest stand ever. And that's saying something in a series where ANYTHING can be totally lethal.
As for part 4...well he was what? 80 years old? I thought it was okay not to actually include him in any battles anymore (although how much he had aged in those 10 years was kinda hard to believe).

Anyway, back to topic.

Yeah, he got screwed over in stands. His power was basically only useful against vampires and there were only two. Since both had broken stands he had no chance.
It's also sad he didn't use any hamon powers.

If you're gonna bring up Bleach the only character that really "plans" is Mayuri. He's up there in BS tiers along with Aizen and Tsukishima.

Only 2 or 3 people above you have mentioned him, please respect other people's opinions.

OT: I wouldn't say Lelouch right away;he wouldn't have gotten to where he was as fast as he did without Geass. Possibly get high up there, but it tremendously sped up his plan. I'd have to say from my favorite shows

I searched for it, noone did.

Yang Wenli was mentioned, not Reinhard. Unless you consider Reinhard and Lelouch the same character...

Yang Wenli- Easily the smartest in the show.
Reunthal- Most badass fleet admiral.
Reinhard- Smart but not that interesting
Lelouch (more like luck) but he was still really interesting to watch.

Scythemaster from Phantom was quite the schemer and puppetmaster (literally) and he did it without any magical shit, fairy, reaper or anything else.
