Characters who seem smart at first until you realize that they are actually completely retarded

>Doesn't know the rules of chess
>Bangs away at keyboards like a chimp pretending to "do shield calculations" or "map the perfect destructive path for the beam" while CC actually pilots the mech
I think he may have actually been a retard

Light acted like most men would do, thinking themselves too clever to fail, many people don't see how advantageous could be to look like you are not too smart.

On the other hand there are situations where it's a good idea to look reliable (just not too much), they will think twice before firing you.

>I LIKE SAUSAGE
What did she mean by this?

Light did a lot of smart things, but his initial fuck up haunted him for the literal entire series. He got caught in the first few episodes/chapters due to his hubris, but dialed it back immediately after that and didn't fuck up that bad ever again until the last episode.

Really? You thought her intelligent? Your average Magical Girl is a complete moron.

Ok, to be fair they are not morons, they are just teens, "adolescent" they are going through massive biochemical augmentation and mental architecture remapping, even at the best of times they will be prone to short-circuits resulting in (self)destructive behavior, how could it not be? In a couple of years you go from being basically a pet monkey to a trigger-happy bipedal apex predator who has to reign over millions of years of instinct in order to make the largest coherent social entity in the universe work at reasonable parameters.

This is why magical girl (hag) is always superior.

The most moronic thing he ever did happened in episode 2. The entire story was a moral tale of pride coming before the fall. You're a retard if you ever expected him to "win." Light didn't even have a realistic win condition. He'd just keep killing to satisfy his god complex.

>untracable murder weapon
Not untraceable, he needs to pull names and pictures from somewhere. If he pulled everything from wikipedia his IP would be the focus

You know what cements Lulu as a retard for me? He knew his geass was acting up and yet he still looked at Euphie in the eye and joked about ordering her to kill all the 11s.
