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), Creed's Tactical Genius, the fact Malal may have successfully gotten himself destroyed, Eldrad (who is just a dick), and the fact that any and all of these individuals may have been replaced by members of Alpha Legion. 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.

Verbosely Planned

The results of my endeavors have satisfactorily harmonized with the forecast I generated and acted upon in accordance to a detailed analysis of the situation at hand, and the desired goals that were stated by key stakeholders and interested parties at outset of the events that previously unfolded .

Just As planned Moment Creation

This guide will teach you how to make a "Just as planned" moment.

• 1: Create a nefarious and overly-complicated plan.
• 2: Successfully execute it. (This step is optional)
• 3: sit in an armchair in front of a roaring fire.
• 4: Sip your martini. (Any other fancy alcoholic beverage will also do)
• 5: Laugh maliciously and whisper, "Just as planned." (see: The Joker [Batman])

Although most of the time:

• 1: Create a nefarious and overly-complicated plan.
• 2: Execute said plan
• 3: Have everything go according to plan.
• 4: Suddenly find a large mechanical warmachine such as a Baneblade or Leman Russ Battle Tank skillfully hidden in the most unconventional spaces, such as behind a 5 inch-thick tree or a waist-high fence, in the crucial moment of success of your plan.
• 5: Realize that you have just been thwarted by some kind of Tactical Geniu- CRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!
