Of course the death note was involved, I'm just saying, Light also needed to time and control his interactions himself because those weren't written in the death note.

Light was killing criminals across the world, L just tracked him down because of his first kill.

Bruh Lelouch and Light wins against Akiyama in planning

​@@CrypticBlazekeeper69Agreed.But want to know his opinion

When you figure out the episode, let me know, because I'm not sure what you're referring to. Do you know around which episode it was like episode 5-9? Do you know what else took place in this episode?

kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5C4poyuiZighaM

This video explains why that's not true

What do you mean?

I made a part 2 including that but Yea, I completely agree, I would say it's on par with a lot of L's deductions.

Yes

"Only Kira would breathe in air, I have to breath in oxygen like everyone else to avoid suspicion" -also Light Yagami

I disagree but it's very close so it's debatable.

You figured out the secret code haha

That would still mean he'd have to time his conversation and interactions with people in order to make sure that the criminal still died at that specific time. Light would have to make sure he got the FBI agents ID within a certain amount of time in order to time when he drops the death note scrap so the criminal sees Ryuk.

@@clueanalysis2596 even without me proving all this wrong the whole plan is just so horrendous that it gave a huge disadvantage and made it much worse for Light anyway..

@@N-Ice_ Well, for here, why don't you just try to prove me wrong, since in another comment you're already explaining why you think the plan was horrible.

It does make sense, it was explained pretty well in the series. If Rem and Misa didn't exist in the series it would've been a stalemate for a long while.

What are you referring to specifically?

@clueanalysis2596 its funny how people in comments are trying to find plotholes and dumb moments in death note when those dont exist.

@ Let them if they want to, there's no story that is perfect so they're bound to find something.

Near isn't dumb. His character's intelligence is inconsistent and the plot doesn't give him much to do unfortunately.

@clueanalysis2596 yes he is, his entire plan was literally "no you"

​@@FynO1 How so?

@@clueanalysis2596 so first he swapped mikami's note with a fake, which light also swapped with a fake, and then under Mikami messing up, Near found the real and replaced that with a fake too. it was a battle of uno reverses and it sucked, to be expected tho. Death note was meant to end on ep 25, but the writers were pressured by shonen jump into continuing it. I'd also like to say that it's actually impossible for what happened to actually happen. We've literally seen Mikami look at the death note with a microscope, so how did one man, Giovanni, in one night, break into a bank, into the vault, grab the death note, and replicate over 10,000 names in a language that isn't even his first? and he can't even make any mistakes, so in my eyes, light sitll won, even with Mikami messing up. Why I find Near to be a bad antagonist is because he's supposed to be L's successor, but when L literally knew all along, on part two it was like a 3v1, near, mello and the American government against Light, with way more evidence against Light, also that Shinigami that said the rule was fake, and yet Near still shouldn't have been able to prove Light to be Kira after all that and something impossible happened. That's the long explanation for my thought. Near losing is why I call him dumb, with so many resources.

@ Well, I wouldn't say the "No you" is what makes it bad. In fact that's a lot of what Death Note is. I think what makes the notebook swap plan less interesting isn't what you say, but what actually happens or how it happens. I'll try and point out what I think those problems are. First off, the idea of the plan itself and it's set up. Both sides of the plan, Light's and Near's, are set up as if like these big masterful moves that trick and outsmart the other when really they're just minor plans that Light would do to take precautions. It's the equivalent of treating the desk trap Light set up in the beginning of the show as his final plan. Switching notebooks and creating fakes isn't something brilliant or masterful, it's something you should just do and be aware of. It's not hard to think of and it's not hard to anticipate; which brings me to the next problem with it. Near, for some reason, didn't anticipate that Light might also plant a fake notebook despite Near himself planning to do so to Light. Despite the simplicity of this plan, Near for some reason never considered Light might do the same, despite believing that this Kira is the same Kira that defeated L. Near has no reason to underestimate Kira, so that can't be an excuse either. Now, looking at the execution of Near's plan is another problem. Once Near finds out the location of the real death note, all he does is... well... the exact same plan he had before. Near doesn't need to re-strategize or create a better plan. All he does is the same exact plan again, but this time it works. The problem here is that not only does Near not have to change anything really, but it wasn't even him that figured it out. Near doesn't outsmart anyone here, Mello reveals the plan Light was setting up and Near just does the same thing twice and is the character left standing at the end. It would've been much better if instead, Mello reveals a clue which makes Near reconsider his plan and thus create a new one. Mello doesn't reveal the entire plan of Light's to Near, and Near is allowed to actually figure something out on his own instead of basically being handed all the answers. Secondly, as for Light, his plan might've worked if Mikami did as he was told, but at the same time, Light was completely aware of the flaws in his plans, yet simply thought Near wouldn't see through it. First of all, why? Near never gave the impression to Light that he wasn't capable of predicting Lights plan, even if Near wasn't capable, and second, Light might be arrogant, but previously it hadn't made him from hold back in making his plans bulletproof. Light underestimated L at times, but still made sure to cover his tracks as best as possible. Light can still think Near inferior to L and still make sure his plan works out as flawlessly as he can. However, despite this, Light still should've won if Mikami followed instructions. Mikami was told he was not to use the notebook and keep it hidden until the confrontation and he knew he was being followed. Mikami was previously shown to follow Light's orders near perfectly up until this point even when he questioned Kira, so it's very out of character of Mikami to almost 180 degrees do exactly the opposite of what Kira ordered him to do. So the problem with this finale isn't the "No you" like scenario, it's the set up. It requires that some of these people act out of character and that smart people overlook and ignore clear flaws that should be easily seen.

Light also told Mikami not to use the notebook until the confrontation.

I was going to say that was also weird, I mean what if there wasn't a car behind them, how would he have had die? I guess Light picked this bus route because he knew it was a busy road, that's the best explanation I can think of. As for the plane pilot scenario you used, because his death would lead to more than the intended, i.e. all the passengers names aren't written in the death note and therefore the death note doesn't think they're intended to die, the pilot would either die of a heart attack before the flight or after he landed the flight as to not kill the other passengers not written in the death note.

I like that most of them are on the piano, they're all pretty simple and easy to learn and play.

@ fr! ^^

While it’s admirable to be this smart, these people have a lot of shortcomings in relationships. Usually extremely intelligent people are arrogant, lack desire for committed relationships, have social skill issues and difficulties relating to the average person. Not to mention, usually smart people will hang around birds of a feather and want someone or something that can challenge them intellectually, you being able to check that box is definitely a question. It’s great that you’d like to marry someone smart but someone to this degree can be trouble for all sorts of reasons. The anime’s depiction of what intelligence is somewhat exaggerated and then also characters are written to be extremely personable. These sorta people are extremely far n few between irl, and truthfully someone that would resemble either Light or L and have their head on straight would be almost unprecedented.

Some people are very gifted as Light is, but for most ordinary people it's a matter of practice and proper studying. Most of us can have great potential if we apply ourselves. That being said, intelligence can be a curse without wisdom. It's one thing to know how, it's another thing to know why. Make sure that if you're doing something, that it's worth your time in the first place. It's most likely that you know you're choosing dumb people, you're just not realizing it as soon as you'd like to know. There are certain qualities that are more attractive to people at first glance and in today's society most people tend to pick based on that. Make sure you get to know the person first before getting in too deep. Stupid qualities can seem more attractive at first glance compared to intelligent qualities.

@@vis4violence I can agree with most of this actually, but funnily enough I remember reading a study some time ago that the lower the IQ of a person was, the more arrogant or more likely to be arrogant they were as they heavily overestimated their abilities and thought they were smarter than they actually were. Smarter people do actually have more trouble getting into relationships for a couple of reasons, some which you mentioned. They tend to be more cautious and more picky about who they choose, which can be both a good and bad thing depending on the qualities they're looking for, but they also tend to be more awkward and have trouble interacting as you said and that's usually because there are less smart people than their are dumb ones.

@@clueanalysis2596 ty for the words! I agree with you too and I have seen that study too! It’s honestly really interesting because you can definitely find people at both sides of the spectrum. Those who are arrogant and smart and those who THINK they hold a candle but fall short. Unfortunately you are absolutely correct on the above comment about how society usually chooses the more attractive person to solve the relationship equation, not realizing that their is something that lies deeper in said person. (In lights case a serial/mass murderer) Look at people like Epstein. Smart as all get out, completely outsmarted the owner or ceo or wtv of Victoria’s Secret and manipulated him out of his money. While in financial kahoots with Harvard from the money and position he was in. What did he do with his smarts? Well… uhh.. fill in the blanks. I really like your point on how you definitely need to get to know a person before assuming their qualities as well and really ties in well with my previous point of questioning whether or not OP would even be a good candidate for the person they admire.

@ It's a matter of thinking logically over being emotional. Yes, you want to feel love for a person, but love isn't enough to qualify being in a relationship with this person. You also have to have respect and reasonable boundaries. A balanced relationship where both partners do things not because the other wants them to but because they want to do it for them. If one side is just all about getting and not giving, it's not going to work. Yes, you can want certain things from your partner, but you also got to realize that they want things from you too, but you also have to be willing to want to do these things. If that person isn't reciprocating the value you bring, it's a one sided relationship.

I'm going to try and make some more this year. I was very busy last year but I should have some more time this year. I could be stretching it. I doubt the creator thought of the implications of Light saying this line. "I mean, you're basically saying that Light perfectly anticipated the exact amount of time it would take for everyone involved to do anything" Yes, this is what I am saying. I think the fact he pointed this out does imply he anticipated the amount of time it would take to do all this, otherwise Light would've just written down something like "dies from a car accident after getting off the bus". The fact that he did specify a certain time means that Light predicted to some extent the length in which all this would take. Think about it, if a certain time is specified and anything went wrong so that the criminal couldn't be killed in traffic, he wouldn't have died that way. So Light would have to have anticipated most of this. We know he had control over the criminal but there was no certain way of getting the FBI agents ID, the indication of a specified time shows that Light had an idea of what would happen and how long it would take to time this whole event. It's a bit of a stretch realistically speaking and I doubt the creator was thinking about the implications of this, but the fact remains that if Light did specify a certain time of death it would mean he'd also have to control the outside variables not written in the death note otherwise there'd be no certain way to make sure the criminal died at exactly 11:45 on the dot.

@@clueanalysis2596 well, like I said, it could be that he specified the time because he needs to makes sure the hijacker gets on the same bus he's on, and since buses run on routes at particular times, he had to use the time of day to guide the hijacker onto the right one (although this means he'd have to assume the bus is running on time but that shouldn't make too much of a difference unless there's a huge traffic pile up, but in that case, the hijacker would just have a heart attack and he'd just need to come up with a new plan). After that, he could have just come up with a rough estimate for how long it would take for the events to unfold in between the bus's arrival to the hijacker's stop and his death. I think of like this: Light memorises the bus timetable and what time the bus would reach each of its stops, plus maybe the frequency of the buses that visit those stops, although that probably isn't as important. He'd then need to fit together the times between himself and his date and tailer getting on with the hijacker getting on at a later stop, and then coming up with a rough estimate for how long it would take for Raye to reveal his identity and then dropping the paper on the floor, initiating the hijacker's death. So, yeah, he'd need to write down the time of death for the hijacker based on an estimate for how long it would take for the ordeal to unfold within a reasonable time of the bus's arrival to the hijacker's death but, whilwould have guessed how long it might take but I didn't think he precisely predicted the timing of everything perfectly, just a rough estimate that allows plenty of time. Keep in mind, Light could theoretically cause the hijackers' death at any point by dropping the paper so he could come up with whatever time he wanted within reason. That's just how I see it, though.

@@l.pricetag.5207 Light did specify a certain time for the bus jacker to get on as well but that's reasonable. Light doesn't need to specify a certain time of death, just the cause and events leading up to it. Light specified a specific time because he was testing the death note in it's specifications, but because he specified a certain time for the criminal to die at it would he'd have also done all this " Light memorises the bus timetable and what time the bus would reach each of its stops, plus maybe the frequency of the buses that visit those stops, although that probably isn't as important. He'd then need to fit together the times between himself and his date and tailer getting on with the hijacker getting on at a later stop, and then coming up with a rough estimate for how long it would take for Raye to reveal his identity and then dropping the paper on the floor, initiating the hijacker's death" as you said yourself.

@clueanalysis2596 I think he would need to specify a time of death probably to make sure the hijacker doesn't die before he can get Raye's name. (I suppose because he can affectively initiate the time of death at any point he chooses by dropping the paper that he probably wouldn't need to, but maybe he was just being thorough. Imagine if the hijacker just collapsed and died from a heart attack because he took too long to drop the paper. Boy, he would've been in trouble then... so I think he probably would’ve had to specify in the notebook both the time of his arrival and death based on a rough estimate of how long it might take.

@ As you said with Light "he can affectively initiate the time of death at any point he chooses by dropping the paper that he probably wouldn't need to" so he wouldn't need to specify a time of death if the cause of death is specified to happen a certain way. Light already tested the death notes limitations to prepare for this point, so there's no reason he'd assume the bus jacker would just die if he took too long to drop the paper when Light knows he can kill people as long as it's before the time they were originally supposed to die at. But regardless of this, a time was specified, so the actions taken also had to be precise. "so I think he probably would’ve had to specify in the notebook both the time of his arrival and death based on a rough estimate of how long it might take" Precisely what I'm saying, Light estimated the actions taken as to time this situation to end at this specific time. In other words, Light had control over more than just the bus jacker, but the people he was conversing with as well.

Merry Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa and New Year to you too!

yes but light was purposefully trying to let L get close so he could kill him and take his place. Knowing there would be no way to convict him due to the Death Note being beyond human comprehension. Light could never truly become "God" of his new world if he didn't also get personal power over society, and even the UN listens to L so it worked out perfect, except when he trusted others.

I don't recall Light mentioning he knew Raye would stop following him. I'm sure either way Light would assume he would though. That being said, if he knew or not, Light's goal wasn't to avoid suspicion entirely, it was to get close to L, and killing the FBI agents was part of the steps he took to do this as the intention was dwindle L's resources and force people to mistrust him, which in the end Light accomplished this. Light meeting Naomi was lucky but her sharing info on Kira and Light tricking her into revealing her ID and killing her aren't necessarily the same thing as luck. If you wanted to, luck can be applied to everything, but what luck really is is chance or probability. The things Light did to get Naomi to reveal the information that she knew about Kira and eventually giving up her ID actually have decent chances of happening as Light also shared information about Kira, encouraging her to also share, and her revealing her ID at the end because Light offered her a solution to the one thing she wanted. It did actually help him in some ways but he absolutely had better ways of going about it that would've been less risky and would've prevented less suspicion while also getting closer to L. I'll consider making a discord sometime in the future, but for now do you think you could just site the page number and chapter?
