Smartest Anime Female Characters

The Top Ten
1 Queen Bulma Bulma is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.

This list is COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS! Bulma created the time machine, Dragon Radar, the thing that shrink you to the size of a mouse, fixed alien spaceship, scouter, fixed #16, created the device to shut #17 & #18, … and many more. She created a laser gun and fixed a spaceship at the age of 5. L and Light might be considered the smartest, but it's just because the series they're in focuses on intelligence and deducting skills. Actually, Bulma's MUCH more intelligent and way smarter.
P.S.: She's NOT a queen.

She built a time machine, invented the Dragon Radar as well as the Micro Band, fixed alien spaceships ( She was able to repair Jaco's spaceship at the age of 5 ), scouters, designed a laser gun when she was just 5, fixed Android #16, created the Shut Down Remote to deactivate Android #17 & Android #18, … and most recently, the Super Dragon Radar. She used to skip class out of boredom, didn't go to school much, yet Bulma Brief is definitely one of the smartest anime / manga characters of all time.

Maker of time machines and technology can enhanced power levels. She was flying alien spacecrafts and making laser guns at the age of 5! She knows how to manipulate situations to her favor and has connections with Gods. Bulma is truly brilliant.

I can't think of anything more complicated and damn near impossible to build than a time machine and this lady actually made more than one, in TWO separate timelines! GENIUS.

2 Shiro (No Game No Life) Shiro (Japanese: 白) is the main female protagonist of the light novel and anime series, No Game No Life and the calm and calculative half of the siblings. ...read more.

Can dodge bullets with only calculations, make the bullets look like they missed unintentionally, the wielder is a beast with incredible physical prowess

Hey she needs to be much higher than 13th. The only female that has a chance of surpassing her in intelligence is Bulma.

She's a logical genius, speaks 18 languages, wins every single chess game she plays, learns a new language and learn a dictionary by heart in 15 minutes, … and she's only 11.

She's only 11 but is insanely smart. Just imagine how intelligent she'll be in a few years

3 Nami Nami is a fictional character in the One Piece franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. She is based on Ann and Silk, two characters from Oda's previous manga Romance Dawn.

Obviously Nami is smarter than Robin. Nami is the third smartest person in East blue. Y'all are overrating Robin, I mean yes she's smart but not smarter than Nami.

Navigation is a very complex and accurate science. She is a genius

Nami smartest female character in One Piece

She's the second smart girl in OP and she is intellegent in science.

4 Nico Robin "Devil Child" Nico Robin is a fictional character of the One Piece manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda.

Smartest female character in one piece. I'm baffled Nami is higher than her. There's no doubt Robin has her beat.

She's so smart and always tries to learn new things. She's the most intelligent crew member

She knows more than anyone when it comes to history. She is also very observant.

Probably the smartest character in OP

5 Mavis Vermillion Mavis Vermilion is the first guild master of the infamous guild Fairy Tail. She started as a poor young girl with no parents and friends. She worked for the guild Red Salamander on Tenrou Island. Tenrou Island is also the island that belongs to the Fairy Tail guild where her grave is.

She lived in a Library on an island with nothing to do but read. She built the fairy tail guild and she knows how to stop a war. She's the smartest.

At a young age, she was a strategist and the first master of a guild. more importantly, she knew long division and high school math at the age of 5

Not that smart. Pretty smart, yes, but doesn't deserve #2.

She's by far the best

6 Retsu Unohana
7 Misora Naomi

She figured out that Kira could kill not just by heart attack because of a bus jacking. If Kira/Light had not killed her, the story would have ended much sooner. Great FBI agent.

If light didn't meet her she'll definitely be important to the case

Yeah she's very clever and smart.

A true pain I felt for her she was very much careful at that time but her innocent behaviour and kindness... alas:(

8 Nanao Ise Nanao Ise is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.

Nanao is the Co-lieutenat of the first division
-The vice president of the S.W.A
-head of the ise clan
-previous lieutenant of the 8th division
-Vice-President of the Shinigami Women's Association
The desk-work expert who takes care of the division's administrative matters on behalf of her captain, who hardly performs any normal tasks. She is a very serious and pragmatic person who often puts up with her captain's silly antics, Nanao is known to be an excellent calculator

I barely remember Bleach but the little that I haven't forgotten is that Nanao is incredibly smart. Maybe not Bulma-smart but still smart. I believe she's a clever fighter, too.

9 Levy Mcgarden

If I didn't wear glasses, had spiky blue hair, wore the same clothes, had the same eye color and voice, had the Fairy Tail emblem tattoo, and had magic, Levy and I would be the same person. Booksmart, but kind of a clutz.

She's nerdy, NOT intelligent. People like Bulma, not drowned in books all the time but still knows a lot and invent many, is intelligent.

Dude she practically knows every language ever! Not to mention has read every book she’s laid her eyes on. She is very intelligent and awesome at cracking codes and figuring things out. If you tell me that she isn’t smart, to rewatch Fairy Tail and get back to me on that...
-Your Fairy Tail Friend and Levy Lover,
Nora

I like her look she has a bold and brave look

10 C.C. C.C. is the pseudonym of a fictional character in the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion anime series by Sunrise. C.C.'s real name is never shared with the audience, despite eventually being learned by protagonist Lelouch Lamperouge.
The Contenders
11 Maka Albarn Maka Albarn (マカ・アルバーン, Maka Arubān) is a Scythe-Meister and the daughter of Spirit Albarn and his ex-wife. After witnessing her father cheating, she was inspired by her mother and she became determined to follow in her footsteps and became a Meister.

She is currently a Two-Star Meister, a Death Scythe Meister, and formerly a member of Spartoi. She stands out as the lead protagonist of the Soul Eater series.

I love Maka! She is a really smart. I feel like she should be higher up on this list tho...

12 Hange Zoë Hange Zoë is a fictional character in the manga and anime series Attack on Titan, also known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japanese, created by Hajime Isayama.

The moment you realize the actual smart ones are at the bottom

She deserved to be on top 5 fighting and cracking the mysteries in AOT.

She is very smart,hot and crazy! I love her! she mostly knows all about titans!

13 Ritsu (Assassination Classroom)

Yay assassination classroom

14 Kurisu Makise

Hey! Kurisu is probably one of the smartest and mature female anime character! The thesis that she published at a tender age of 17 was critically acclaimed in the science community. Not only that, she also wrote about Time travel and time machines and made one in the future! What else can you expect? She’s my favorite!

15 Lucy Heartfilia Lucy Heartfilia is a wizard in the guild, Fairy Tail. Her magic is called celestial spirit magic which allows her to summon spirits from another world. She currently possesses fifteen celestial keys, which is an extraordinary number for a celestial mage. She gets along best with Team Natsu, containing ...read more.

Lucy is not smart enough to be in the top ten.

Mah slay queen

16 Yoruichi Shihoin Yoruichi Shihoin is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.
17 Konan (Naruto Shippuden)

I love Konan but her intelligence has never been really remarkable.

Shes kinda smart right

18 Satsuki Kiryuin Satsuki Kiryuin is one of the antagonists from 'Kill La Kill', an anime series that ran from 2013-2014, created by Studio Trigger.
19 Android 18

She's extremely powerful, badass as well as beautiful, but her intelligence is just average. Her power isn't her intelligence, it's her strength that makes her so powerful. Bulma, on the other hand, is a genius-level inventor. Her brilliant mind is her power, which makes her one of the most important DBZ characters.

Examples please? Not hating but I don't remember her doing anything intelligent.

Don't ask awesome, genius, badass, pretty, loving, caring, good mother, excellent fighter. She is aewsome.

She's not that smart. She's just there.

20 Kyoko Kirigiri Kyoko Kirigiri, a character from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, is a student of Class 78 in Hope's Peak Academy, who also participates in Monokuma's Killing School Life. She is the Ultimate Detective.

She's the Ultimate Dedective. She's pretty smart too. The only reason she's not in top 10 is Danganronpa isn't that popular. Anyway, she's a way smarter than most of the characters in top 10.

Kirigiri is my favourite character and she's really smart

The Ultimate Detective

Why is she not higher

23 Momo Yaoyorozu

She should be Higher! she has to be extremly smart in order to use her Quirk afterall.

24 Akane Tsunemori (Psycho-Pass)

If you're looking for smart characters, you've got to dig into "smarter" anime such as Psycho-Pass, Terror in Resonance, Code Geass, Death Note... Akane is such a deep thinker and one of the characters with the most impressive development.

25 Asuna Yuuki Asuna Yuuki is a fictional character who appears in the Sword Art Online series of light novels by Reki Kawahara.
