Just As Planned

The phrase "Just as planned" (jp. 計画通り！ [keikaku dōri!]) is taken from the manga/anime series Death Note, and specifically a panel/scene which sees the culmination of the genius protagonist Yagami Light's extremely complex plan - which involves, among other things, him losing his own memory of the plan in the first place and having predicted in advance what actions he and everyone else around him would take over a period of several weeks so that the scheme would still come to fruition and his memory be restored.

The expression first saw use as a meme on /a/, but has been since adopted by /tg/ for use regarding the chaos god Tzeentch (as both he and Light are fond of complex schemes and trickery) and Eldrad (who is just a dick). It is sometimes seen in the form "Just as keikaku" or "Just according to keikaku", referencing a screenshot of the anime with an idiotic translator's note.
