There are many anime characters who have been hailed as geniuses and prodigies, masters who have extremely high levels of intellect. Be it Shikamaru Nara from Naruto or Lelouch Lamperouge, they are often hailed as the smartest characters in anime and praised for their strategic genius.
While their tactical minds and capabilities are undeniable, neither of them can match the sheer intellectual brilliance and the repertoire of knowledge that is Senku Ishigami from Dr. Stone. It’s time for the fans to finally realize that Senku isn’t just the smartest character in Dr. Stone, he is the smartest in all of anime.
Senku’s intelligence is on another level
Shikamaru’s IQ of over 200 (according to Asuma Sarutobi) and Lelouch’s masterful planning that let him record a video anticipating all of the recipients’ responses are indeed formidable, even terrifying. But they are limited to intellect that takes people into consideration.
This makes them formidable, but Senku’s intelligence is in a completely different league. He’s not just a strategist; he’s a scientist of the modern world with a vast amount of knowledge stowed away in his head. It ranges from the grassroots to the most advanced of technologies.
I said it once, I’ll say it again. Senku made a fucking rocket that goes to the moon in the fucking Stone Age. He’s the smartest character in fiction

Senku has basically every field of knowledge memorized, especially physics, math, and chemistry. If you watch even a little bit of Dr. Stone you’d probably agree that Senku clears.

He was capable of rebuilding civilization itself from scratch. In a world where technology was wiped out and humanity reverted back to the Stone Age, he managed to create everything from antibiotics to spacecraft, proving he is unparalleled among all other characters.
It is true that many characters managed to outplay their opponents, set up elaborate schemes and conspiracies, and even rule the world. But none of them could have imitated what Dr. Stone had done.
Senku’s feats prove his unmatched genius
This is why his intellect makes him much more valuable than a million people, at least when you are stuck in the Stone Age.
Unlike Shikamaru and Lelouch, whose intelligence is mostly limited to strategy and manipulation, Senku excels in every scientific field imaginable. His understanding of chemistry, physics, engineering, biology, and mathematics is at the peak of the elite level.
All this guys are smart AF but Senku is on another level. This guy is too OP, he should be competing with people like Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Arzmuth, Bruce Wayne.. etc!!!

This isn’t just memorization but complete comprehension of everything that happens around him: how a fan works, how it’s made, how minerals and metals are processed, and how that equipment is made.
When he applies his knowledge practically, he becomes unstoppable, going from building simple inventions to a literal rocket ship to the moon in the Stone Age.
You can stream Dr. Stone on Crunchyroll.
