Insufferable Genius: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

== Anime and Manga ==

* Washu from ''[[Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki]]'' and ''[[Tenchi Universe]]''. Claims to be "the greatest scientist in the Universe" and really is. She even invented tiny robot mascots to proclaim her greatness whenever she needs an ego-boost. Also insists on being called 'Little Washu' ([[Japanese Honorifics|"Washuu-chan"]] in the original Japanese) and being treated with all the indulgence due to a child, despite the fact that she is over 30,000 years old and virtually omnipotent, capable of suspending the laws of physics or even destroying the Universe if she so pleases.

* Ryoma Echizen from ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]''. At twelve, he beats high school players with ease, before revealing that he's [[I Am Not Left-Handed|really left-handed]], and, if you watch the anime, also defeats professional players in the US Open. Frequently taunts his opponent with "Mada Mada Dane" ("You still have lots more to work on"). A prick, really. Made all the more obvious by titling the chapters as 'Genius #'.

* Sergeant Major Kururu from ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' has a mischievous streak a mile long, and seems more interested in amusing himself than completing the invasion of Earth. However, he's still a (technically senior) member of the Keroro Platoon, and the group's "ideas" guy.

* Skuld from ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' practically ''oozes'' this trope, and never receives anything to cut down on her massive ego. In order to balance this out, the writers had to have her fail constantly at her main goal in breaking up Keiichi and her sister Belldandy.

** Though this is only from the audience's perspective. Light would never let another human being know he felt that way - though it leaks out more and more towards the end.

** L is this too, at least as far as Aizawa is concerned.
