All According to Plan: Difference between revisions

 

* Light Yagami of ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'', master of the [[Gambit Roulette]], repeatedly uses this phrase to let Ryuk know that what appears to be an outmaneuvering actually falls in line with his long-term goals. Including the ''very'' memetic moment of him winning the [[Gambit Roulette]] [[Memory Gambit]].

* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', [[Manipulative Bastard|Gendo Ikari]] (along with his right-hand man, Fuyutsuki) and the members of [[Omniscient Council of Vagueness|SEELE]] were fond of saying things were going "all according to the scenario." Should be noted that they were ultimately pulling for different scenarios, but no matter what, whatever happened was ''always'' according to the scenario, or at the very least irrelevant to it.

** Their differing scenarios were only divergent at the end, so it makes sense. At the point where something went according to Gendo's scenario that was NOT according to SEELE's scenario, {{spoiler|SEELE sent in the JSSDF to kill every single last person at NERV HQ}}.

{{quote| ''Just as I planned!''}}

* Similar to the ''[[Nobilis (Tabletop Game)|Nobilis]]'' quote above, {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Arthas]]}} of ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' plans himself right into a grave. Spending half the Wrath of the Lich King expansion [[You Have Failed Me|killing off sub-bosses]] as if they were mooks, until finally {{spoiler|when the players in their 10 or 25 man group face him, claims it was all according to his plan to train and equip the most powerful people in the world so he can kill them and use them as generals in his army.}} Oops.
