Christophe Lemaitre of France finished third in 19.80, a new national record for France.
Wearing a bib number reading "588", Bolt looked quite relaxed standing behind Lane 3 of the blue track at the Daegu stadium.
With camera on him, a smiling Bolt, as usual, began to entertain more than 30,000 spectators at the Daegu stadium -- using hands to sort out the eyebrows and making the bow. The crowd responded with cheers and screams.
After the starting gun fire, he set off, sprinted ahead at a blistering pace, took the lead and crossed the finish line first.
A jubilant Bolt, wearing the Jamaican national flag, slowly ran another lap in the stadium and celebrated his win with his fans.
"It is good to run a good 200m. It is my favorite event. Fans will decide if I made it up to them," he said.
By all measurements, Bolt is unbeatable in the 200m. The half lap is where he first made his name as a teenager. It's the event in which he won his first World Championships medal in 2007. He hasn't lost a 200m final since the Memorial van Damme in Brussels in September 2007 and rides a 16-meet win streak in the event to Daegu.
"After the race Usain Bolt told me that I was too strong and he congratulated me.... Today I proved that now I belong to the very best in the world and I hope that I will stay there," Lemaitre said.
Last year, at the age of 20, Lemaitre won the 100m, 200m and the 4x100m relay titles at the 2010 European Championships, making him the fastest man in Europe.
