== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* This is part of the Tzeentchians' hat in [[Warhammer 4000040,000]]: Tzeentch is essentially the [[God of Evil]] plans, gambits and other schemes, worshipped by sorcerers and the ambitious, who sees so far into the future that all his plans are mutually contradictory: the success of one means the failure of another and vice versa. It is customary, when reducing your opponent to incoherent rage and [[Skyward Scream|SkywardScreaming]], to [[Smug Smiler|smile smugly]] and declare "[[Just As Planned]]" ([[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Gendo]] [[Scary Shiny Glasses|glasses]] and [[Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive|hands]] optional). [http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Just_as_planned More information here.]
** Recently, Games Workshop has hinted that the failure of all thirteen Black Crusades, which has given Abaddon the Despoiler a reputation as a [[General Failure]], were actually this trope. How better to gauge your enemy's strength over the millennia?
* This trope is played with in one of the margin-quotes from ''[[Nobilis]]''.
Line 63:
* Possibly as a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Death Note|Kira]], after he has the negative emotion of [[Co-Dragons|Prometheus and Pandora]] [[Emotion Eater|sucked into the]] [[Artifact of Doom|Model Ws]] in the background, awakening them and forming the [[Ouroboros]], Master Albert from ''[[Mega Man ZX]] Advent'' said:
{{quote|''Just as I planned!''}}
* Similar to the ''[[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.
* In [[Tsukihime]], {{spoiler|Kohaku pretty much says this once it's revealed that she was behind almost the entire plot of the Far Side routes.}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|''That's right. All of it was something I wished would happen, Shiki-san.''}}}}
Line 87:
* [[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]: '' "The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne" '', when Bruce Wayne is chained and Alfred is tied in Doctor Strange's basement:
{{quote|'''Alfred:''' Oh master Bruce! I am so sorry, this [[It's All My Fault]]!
'''[[The Chessmaster|Bruce Wayne:]]''' Nonsense Alfred, believe or not, this is working out, just as I planned
'''[[Servile Snarker|Alfred:]]''' How reasuring! }}
* In ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' "[[The Legend of Korra/Recap/B1/E06 And the Winner Is...|And the Winner Is...]]", when [[The Dragon|The Lieutenant]] tells [[Big Bad|Amon]] that the city is defying his threat.
