Sherlock's issue is if Kira learned he was being hunted by Sherlock Holmes it would be much easier to kill him with the notebook, I doubt it would be nearly as difficult for Kira to dig up Sherlock's full name and jot him down compared to Bats and L.

[@star3catcherSEQUEL]

I think most other fictional geniuses could probably beat Light, because the whole point of "Death Note" is that despite being geniuses, Light and L are ultimately a couple of immature, borderline-insane manchildren who are, deep down, more concerned about playing a game with each other than actually accomplishing either of their goals. Light didn't have to kill Lind L. Tailor, he could have easily ignored the taunting and never revealed his location. Similarly, L didn't have to bait and provoke Kira after Tailor was killed, he could have said nothing more, cut the broadcast, and simply shared his findings with the police. That first scene is brilliant for many reasons, but one of which is that it simultaneously shows off Light and L's shared flaw that got them both killed: Their pride. Light especially constantly lets his anger and ego get the best of him, and there are several points in the story where he could have easily won if he had just calmed the hell down, realistically looked at his limitations, and thought about it longer. It's story about hubris, about a young man who was told his whole life that he was special and destined for great things and how this coddling ultimately ruined him the second he got a small taste of real power.

[@Zetact_]

The larger issue that Death Note has in writing its geniuses is that it writes out their thought processes while most fiction writers just say "they innately know something they really shouldn't because they're just so smart." L is written with a level of genius where he has realistic human limitations on what he can reason out. If someone was shot in an alleyway he couldn't sniff the air and say, "The victim was shot with this model of gun, at precisely this time, fired from this height," etc. because that sort of writing is asinine but it's unfortunately how a lot of writers do things. While L didn't need to reveal that he fooled Kira with the Lind L Taylor scheme, it actually was the better move in the long run. Since Kira was also hunting down L, trying to find his name and face, it led to many of Light's further mistakes. Light's use of police records was done specifically as a means of him taking an offensive strategy against L and that's what caused him to be tracked by Raye Pember which would ultimately cause a ton of trouble for him down the road. But none of that happens if L doesn't tell Light, "I fooled you and I'm hunting you down." Light would have simply continued regular Kira killings. Remember that by the broadcast plan, all it really proved was that Kira existed, could kill from a remote distance with minimal information, and was in Kanto at the time of the broadcast, not any particular information about his personal life, or how his power worked. The same goes for the suicide notes that led to the theory that Kira has some influence over a person's actions prior to their death. He wouldn't have given L that if he wasn't trying to taunt him, he would have done his experimentation in a more subtle way. Light's response to being taunted by L is what led to him making decisions that were rational for Light (his goal being to take out L ASAP rather than simply avoid being caught) but since he was being more offensive he also gave more information than he would via his normal Kira activity. Even if you did the same broadcast plan, unless you got more information shortly after it, you can't be definitively certain that Kira didn't simply leave Kanto shortly after it happened. You could "assume" that to be the case but you can never be certain. And you certainly can't narrow it down to someone who has access to police records.

[@RenonTTV]

​@Zetact_ ya, that's the problem with other detectives, their senses, reasoning ability, and knowledge are inherently inhuman. Some detectives have senses like a bloodhound like you stated, or have the intelligence of a God like batman who is 'supposedly ' an ordinary man. When you right out the actual thought process of the detective, you actually have to have a way for them to deduce information. That is why L and Light's battle of wits was unique, they're both human but the author explained how both of them thought out each situation. Not randomly discovering things like other detective stories

[@mariafecasilan8464]

L opinion

[@luck8581]

very good comment, good job

[@printeredlasered]

"You could "assume" that to be the case but you can never be certain." Well yes, but it's the most reasonable working theory, otherwise you'd have nothing to go on. And nothing came up to disprove the theory. I think L could reasonably have gleaned even more information remotely by controlling the police records and areas to which the police records were sent, engineering fake blackouts, and varying high school student curfew times (which would be a way of confirming/eliminating the high school hypothesis). L shouldn't have revealed himself on the broadcast -- given a week of regular Kira killings you could reasonably narrow it down to one or two neighbourhoods in the Kanto region, and if you had extra investigations on the side eg. through tracking internet traffic that would be enough information to narrow it down to a small pool of suspects. And of course Light being the police chief's son would make him stand out.

[@derendohoda3891]

Not the biggest Holmes fan, so when I saw the title I thought, "It would depend on what he knows about supernatural events." Sure enough, he's dealt with ghosts. Then it was a slam dunk in my opinion. Light's problems dealing with detectives in general is their vast experience compared to his, he has to reason his way through everything, since the entire situation is new to him. An old hand like Batman or Holmes would make short work of him. L had three major stumbling blocks: 1) no idea about the supernatural, 2) desire to form a friendship, and 3) his idiosyncratic ideas about winning. Near could win because L's investigation took care of (1) and he had no care at all for (2). (3) still hung him up, as the competition with Mello. But I digress. Holmes really had none of these three flaws and would likely solve it straightforwardly. Great video.

[@sirdogith3783]

Big thing I want to respond to L didn't want to form a friendship with anyone, and often thought little of those around him. He called Light a friend as a manipulation tactic, in reality he hated Light's guts

[@katz7609]

I have a problem with a couple of these. 1. L didn't care on making friends with Light, that was just to mess with him. 2. Near had to start from scratch when approaching the Kira case. All he knew was that Kira killed L, that was it. This can be explained easily by the fact Watari deleted all of the files, and the Near was unaware of the scene between Light, Misa, and Light's father pretending to shoot his son. 3. I believe Sherlock is indeed a better detective, but L's knowledge is more expansive than Sherlock's, given that Sherlock refuses to learn things that he deems unimportant, even politics. L has high expertise in the economy, stocks, politics, etc. He's like a mixture of Sherlock and Mycroft. But otherwise, I agree with you.

Sherlock: These murders are seemingly random, one criminal there the other criminal over there, the only two things these all have in common is they are all criminals being murdered and they are all publicly known figures. At least they were at the start, and recently even criminals unknown to public have been executed. I conclude that our murderer, dear Watson, first started doing this... business... by observing the names of his victims on the news, but then somehow got access to police files. "That seems logical.", I replied to my friend but I knew there was more to his reasoning he was not revealing. Sherlock: I was never a believer in the supernatural, dear Watson. Yet I can not explain this Kira fellow's power that stretches over vast distances. If we are dealing with the supernatural, then it would not be out of the question that this man, or a woman, would gain some sort of mystic knowledge. Yet it seems his knowledge is limited. I went through it with Interpol, and most of his recent victims were from the police files one would get locally in Japan. So it is quite obviously a person living in Japan, with connections to Japanese police, who started dispending his strange version of justice. "That narrows it down a lot, Sherlock!", I shouted. Sherlock: It does, doesn't it? I do hear footsteps and these should be our friends from Japanese police force coming to discuss our case. Ten men entered the room, and among them one particularly stood out, a handsome young man, much younger than the rest, with eyes as sharp as my friend's. Sherlock: I am glad that you all agreed to meet me here, in this international effort. I must say, I am without a clue and do not know how to stop Kira. They had a long talk, and the young man was revealed to be the son of the police chief in Japan. He was sort of an intellectual prodigy back home and was helping his father solve the case. His name being even more unusual than Sherlock's, as he is called Light. After the talk between these gentlemen was over, Holmes went and shook each man's hand. But when he reached for Light's hand, he put on the handcuffs on both of Light's hands with lightning quickness. "What is the meaning of this?!", almost everyone shouted at the same time at my friend. Sherlock: The meaning is... this is your Kira. He leaned on the desk and took out his pipe, which he quickly lighted. After he inhaled one smoke and exhaled it, he pointed his pipe at Light. Sherlock: Do you want to explain to everyone why you did what you did? And how you did it? Because not even I know that. Light: This is preposterous! Sherlock: Then allow me, in the inner lining pocket of his jacket you will find a small book most likely containing the names of all of his victims. I have noticed a small bulge on his jacket that should fit the size of a medium notebook we are searching for. I have also noticed the blisters on this young man's hand that would come from someone spending a lot of time, lets say writing names in a notebook. The police officers indeed searched Light, and took out a small black notebook. As they went through it, they indeed found the names of all of Light's victims. Light: This is ridiculous! You believe I am the Kira just because of some notebook? I was helping to solve the case so of course I would keep notes there... Sherlock: You might wonder how I came to these conclusions? Well, it took a lot of deaths before I did. We kept feeding different files to different police departments. Some had pictures of criminals and some had names. I soon realized you would need both the picture and the name of the person for your mysterious powers to work. By sending different types of files to different parts of Japan I was soon able to locate you right to the exact police station. Then I realized one other thing. Sometimes murders would happen one after another with a slight delay. Why the delay I wondered? What was it that you had to do for the murders to happen? If you could kill people using your thoughts then there would be no delay. The delay would be only the time for you to read the name. Was it some chanting you had to do, magical words? Then I did another test, I sent some poor victims with long names, some with short names. Interestingly enough, those with short names had a shorter delay. "He was writing their names in the book!", I shouted. Sherlock: Well, yes, I was coming to that. But it could have been that the boy was speaking the names. However I solved that by sending some same sounding names with slightly different spelling. I deducted he was writing the names. I compared the speeds and times it would take for someone to write the names I was sending with the delay between the murders and I knew someone was using a certain type of pen and paper for the delay to be just right. Well, here we are now. That book has supernatural powers and to test it we won't kill a human but the member of the canine species. I will be the one to write the poor dog's name in the book and I do know the dog's face. He is an old dog, and his time is about right to go. Light: You can't! You won't get away with this! I am the God of this world! Sherlock: Not when your writing hands are tied, obviously. My name is Holmes by the way. Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes: The Kira Case Scene: 1 - Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were ensconced within their legendary office on Baker Street when Inspector Lestrade, a high-ranking detective in the London police force, burst in with an air of urgency. Inspector Lestrade: Sherlock Holmes, I am greatly relieved to find you at this juncture. We find ourselves embroiled in a most intriguing case, and I implore your sagacity and acumen to aid us. Sherlock Holmes: Forgive my interruption, Inspector Lestrade. Before you proceed, may I deduce the nature of this case? Your countenance and urgency lead me to surmise that it involves a matter of grave consequence. Inspector Lestrade, slightly taken aback by Holmes' interruption, nodded in agreement. Inspector Lestrade: Indeed, Holmes. Your intuition serves you well. We are faced with a perplexing series of incidents involving sudden and inexplicable cardiac arrests. The victims, as far as we can ascertain, are known criminals. The cause behind these mysterious deaths eludes us. Sherlock Holmes: Ah, the game is afoot! These circumstances are quite intriguing, Inspector. A string of cardiac arrests afflicting known criminals raises several pertinent questions. Are there any commonalities among the victims? Are there external factors at play that manipulate their cardiac systems? Inspector Lestrade: Your deductions, Holmes, are indeed astute. In recent days, this individuals are from various walks of life and have met their demise through this unexplained fate. Without exception, have no history of health issues or any other plausible cause that could account for their sudden deaths. Sherlock Holmes: Fascinating, Inspector Lestrade. The fact that these individuals hail from different regions and backgrounds, yet share a common fate, is indeed intriguing. Please indulge me further. Can you provide a breakdown of the regions from which they originated? Inspector Lestrade: Certainly, Holmes. The victims span various cities and countries, with a concentration of cases centered around London. Two of the deceased were notorious criminals who operated within the confines of our fair city. The remaining victims were scattered across different localities outside the United Kingdom. Some hailed from the bustling streets of New York City, while others were involved in criminal enterprises in Paris and Tokyo. Sherlock Holmes, absorbing the information with a keen focus, allowed his mind to delve into the depths of his extensive knowledge and experience. Sherlock Holmes: Remarkable, Lestrade. We are dealing with a web of criminal activity that spans borders, a tapestry woven by the darkest elements of society. It seems that these targeted individuals were all prominent figures within the criminal underworld, notorious for their malevolence and heinous acts. Sherlock Holmes: Inspector... might you enlighten me as to the total number of victims in this case? How many lives have been claimed thus far? Inspector Lestrade: We have documented a total of 37 victims over the course of two days. The first day saw 14 unfortunate souls perish, followed by 23 more on the subsequent day, which happens to be today. And interestingly enough, among the victims just now, were the notorious criminals i talked about, James "The Razor" Reynolds and Isabel "Black Widow" Thompson. Sherlock Holmes paused for a moment, his mind working through the details and connections. Sherlock Holmes: It appears that this organization, or individual, is driven by a vigilante-like motivation. Their actions suggest a skewed sense of justice, perhaps rooted in a simplistic understanding of right and wrong. It is as if they are playing the role of judge and executioner, targeting criminals whom they believe deserve punishment. Dr. Watson listened attentively, aware of Holmes' ability to unravel complex motivations and patterns. Dr. Watson: So, you believe this perpetrator is acting as a self-proclaimed arbiter of justice, taking it upon themselves to mete out punishment to those they deem guilty? Sherlock Holmes: Precisely, Watson. Their method of using cardiac arrests as a means of execution is both calculated and symbolic. It serves as a statement, a message to the criminal underworld that their reign of terror will not go unpunished. Dr. Watson: But who could possess such power and resources to orchestrate these targeted attacks? And why now? Sherlock Holmes absorbed by information, his mind racing to discern the significance of those death numbers. Sherlock Holmes: What can you tell me about the interval between these deaths? Is there a discernible pattern? Inspector Lestrade: The interval between each death is staggeringly short, Holmes. Merely a matter of seconds, ranging from 10 to 40 seconds between each fatal occurrence. Sherlock Holmes: It is a grave mistake to make assumptions based on incomplete information, but alas, the pursuit of truth often demands that we act with limited knowledge. Very well, Inspector Lestrade, I shall take up this case and devote my faculties to unraveling its intricate web of secrets. However, I implore you to provide me with every detail at your disposal. I need a comprehensive understanding of these victims, their criminal pasts, and any connections they may have had with each other. Furthermore, I request access to any pertinent evidence and witness testimonies that could shed light on the enigma we face. And gather information too on whether these criminals were indeed exposed to the public eye, whether through media coverage, court proceedings, or any other means. It is of utmost importance to ascertain whether their identities were widely known, for it could provide valuable insight into the workings of our elusive perpetrator. Inspector Lestrade, taking note of Holmes' request, nodded in agreement and made a mental note to collect the necessary information. Inspector Lestrade: I shall task my team with delving into the public records and media archives to determine the extent of exposure these individuals had. If they were indeed widely recognized, it may serve as a clue to the motivation behind these killings. Sherlock Holmes: Excellent, Inspector. Furthermore, I urge you to search our archives for any past cases involving similar patterns of strange and unexplained deaths. We must ascertain if there are any precedents or recurring themes that may shed light on our current investigation. Inspector Lestrade hastily made his way out of the room, leaving Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to observe the flurry of activity around them. As they stood there, Sherlock couldn't resist making a witty remark. Sherlock Holmes: Ah, Watson, the chaos that ensues when mysteries unfold! It's quite reminiscent of a circus, wouldn't you agree? Dr. Watson chuckled at Sherlock's comment, appreciating his ability to find amusement even in the most perplexing situations. But then, Watson raised a question that had been lingering in his mind. Dr. Watson: Sherlock, do you think there's a possibility that the supernatural is at play here? Could there be forces beyond our comprehension guiding these events? Sherlock Holmes, drawing from his vast repertoire of cases and experiences, responded with his usual skepticism, grounded in logic and reason. Sherlock Holmes: Watson, my dear friend, I have encountered numerous cases in my career where the appearance of the supernatural was nothing more than a cleverly crafted illusion or a product of human ingenuity. From the Hound of the Baskervilles to the Speckled Band, I have unraveled the mysteries behind these seemingly otherworldly occurrences. In every instance, there was a rational explanation, grounded in the realm of the natural. Dr. Watson observed the discourse between Holmes and him. Their mind brimming with anticipation as they prepared to embark on an arduous journey through the murky realms of enigma. With unwavering trust in their partnership and unwavering belief in Holmes' singular brilliance, he stood ready to lend his unwavering support in the quest for truth. silence................... .....then Sherlock Holmes: Well... let us proceed under the assumption that our adversaries are human, driven by a peculiar notion of right and wrong, perhaps in their youthful and erratic pursuit of justice. If they are indeed vigilantes, they may be prone to leaving behind traces of their actions. Now, let us consider the second option, the wrath of a god upon this wretched world. If such a supernatural force were at play, I fear our endeavors may be in vain. After all, how can mortal minds comprehend the whims and motives of an entity beyond our realm? In the face of such power, our deductions and investigations may prove futile. And yet, even as the end looms before us, Watson, let us not forget to savor the present moment. Before the world succumbs to its inevitable demise, I propose we indulge in one of my favorite hobbies, the art of playing the violin. There's nothing quite like the soothing melodies to accompany us in these uncertain times. With a smile and a touch of irony, Sherlock Holmes set aside the weight of their impending doom and reached for his beloved instrument, ready to play a haunting tune that echoed the enigma of their situation. As the final notes lingered in the air, the scene came to a close, leaving behind an air of melancholic anticipation for the unknown that lay ahead.

worth noting, the star feat at 14:44 also comes with the context that they were just at the observatory on that episode, the specific event/star being spoken on a loop as they fought Golem, and as such, that knowledge was quite recent for him to access. (it could be also inferred that Moriarty knew this, and that's why he gave Sherlock the puzzle to solve, as Moriarty wants to play with Sherlock and test his limits, he'd have joy in knowing Sherlock failed despite having the tools.) also, one more note: if I recall correctly, L had to resort to a direct approach almost instantly after distrust at the NPA ensued. but perhaps due to Sherlock taking a more passive approach and analyzing all the detectives one by one, it might take more time for him to meet light then otherwise. if so, there's a chance Misa actually comes into play before Sherlock can either meet light or acquire his death note. If you're using BBC's Sherlock, then it'd be game over for him, as Misa will most surely know about the smartest detective alive, and his face is in every news paper. (but you did use a weird composite of every version of Sherlock, which I kinda understand, but it's kinda unfair. BBC's Sherlock has a near OP mind palace...tho worth noting it has failed him in the past, and he also would refuse to believe in Shinnigami's until it's absolutely irrefutable, and even then he'd likely be as caught off-guard and as shocked as L did) and about the last two details you mentioned for how 'Light had given himself away early one', those can actually be explained.(I'll reply to this comment with the explanations).

[@jeom3808]

First off- yes, even if they don't reveal light to be Kira, these moments could very well have served signaled to L that Light very well could be Kira from the start, but I slightly doubt it. he likely was still close to certain early on, but not for these two instances of "light slipping up" as you mention. 1. at that moment, Light is playing the cordial student. I think it's fair to say (based on my little understanding) that Japanese social culture has a bigger emphasis on being respectful/cordial to others, even more so to stranger, and even more so to others of higher authority/rank.(L being the best detective in the world, definitely "out ranking" Light). I believe their entire first interactions are based around this in mind for Light embodying the 'perfect cordial student' act (explaining why he doesn't aggressively question L's deduction leading to light as a suspect, as it could be disrespectful to L's skills and experience. And why he doesn't ask him if he's really L, as it could be seen as Light calling him a liar). Now to the letters: from an innocent perspective, Light assumes L has given him all the information he needed, he wouldn't think L would forget another one and instead assume the other letters either don't exist or aren't important. still- it's enough to be suspicious, just not enough to be indefensible. 2. As for Ray Pember, go back to that exchange again- from an innocent but smart student perspective, all Light did was connect the dots and fill in what L was about to say. He knows he is being suspected, and L brings up the detectives that all died investigating people tied to the NPA, he then specifically mentions Ray to Light, which then allows "innocent but sharp Light" to understand that Ray must have been the one fallowing Light, as it isn't that hard of a connection to make based on L having so much focus on light and L bringing up this one detective. L would have to expect Light to be capable of such deduction, as Light has already proven himself to be quite smart, and wouldn't see any other reason why L would specifically point out one of the detectives by name. (I will say for that 2nd one, I'd be curious to go to the manga and Japanese phrasing of that conversation. because the anime dub does make it harder to tell for certain if L laid the dots and Light just connected them, or if Light really talked as if he knew who Ray was before L mentioned his name, but I believe it makes sense when viewed in this way, Light just filled in L's thoughts, as it perfectly explains why L didn't make any remark on it, not even an internal one.)

basically: if Light knows that Sherlock is investigating him, Light wins easily. Sherlock Holmes is a world famous, easily recognisable detective who publicly uses his full name. If Sherlock is investigating in private, this is flipped and Sherlock would eventually solve the Kira case, lights out for Light.

[@theodoresherman5707]

I don't think that L is a better Detective than Sherlock Holmes by any stretch of the imagination. The very best tactic a Detective can use is to go undetected by their quarry. And the first thing L did was make himself known to Light. Which was just foolish.

[@rejvaik00]

I definitely agree having L show his face and directly stating to light that he was L was extremely dumb in any aspect of law enforcement or criminal investigation I know why he did it and the creator of the video also explains why he did it too as it stems from his immaturity and also wanting to provoke a reaction from his suspected quarry

[@jjt8149]

I think that decision was more of a Plot Induced Stupidity.

[@LhordShepherd]

L making himself known to light also helped with the case and it was also used to provoke and get a reaction from Light. Go and check how Light analysed every possible outcome when he got home after L revealed himself to him. Light still doubt it was even the real L, and said that he might have used a body double and other stuff as well. However that doesn't even justify your point of saying Sherlock is smarter than L. Sherlock never faced any supernatural case like the Kira case and Sherlock failed to solve some cases in his carrier too which were not even close to the Kira case. L never failed to solve any and would've solved the Kira case if not because REM stopped him, REM died because she prevented Misa's death, which means in the future L would've caught Light and Misa and sentenced them to death if REM didn't interfere. L narrowed down a mass murderer out of 7 billion(entire world) people to one person, without anything to work with (remember how other detectives said they couldn't handle the case where people around the world are dying of heart attack since there was nothing to work with, before they decided to call on L).

If Sherlock finds the hidden Death Note, then he wouldn't need to deduce anything anymore. He would be the holder of the death note, and would have the information. Also, Light would forget about the Death Note at this point, and he would likely not have the same safeguards he had in place in the story when he intentionally transferred the death note to someone else. At that point, the difficulty would be in being able to authoritatively prove that the Death Note is real, as in order to transfer it to someone else to give them such proof, you would also need to forget about it yourself.

[@theghostoftheuchiha1999]

Thats not even how it worked in Death Note. In DN when the Japanese Task Force saw The Death Note and talked to Rem all they had to do was Touch the DN in order to see her and talk to her. What you are talking about is claiming ownership of the DN. If you claim the DN as yours and transfer the owner ship to someone else then the person who owned it loses their memories. Anyone can see the DN, touch it, read what is inside of it, and remember it all, but ownership of the DN is where the amnesia comes into play.

Then again, if Light does this, I dont see him considering this a win as he loathes the idea of using the shinigami eyes himself, if anything, with Sherlock dead, Light would at best see this as a tie and it would gnaw at his mind until the rest of his days.

[@MarioMonte13]

To be honest, it only depends on when in Sherlock Holmes' career that he takes on the Kira case. If it's pre-Moriarty, easy GG in favor of Holmes. In the Arthur Conan Doyle novels, he consistently shrugs off notoriety for solving his cases, pretending that inspectors LeStrade or Gregson did all of the work. Post-Moriarty, Holmes becomes more well known to the general public and thus is easier for someone with a Death Note to deal with. At that point, it depends on whether Holmes wants to openly investigate the case or go deep undercover, something absolutely in his skill set since he convinced the world he was dead for years until he chose to come out of hiding.

[@Tenshiyo]

20:40 For the sake of clarity I thought it was important to mention that Light's proclamation about Raye Penber and the FBI was during the scene where his Father was in the hospital over a stress induced heart attack. During that time frame there is a clear transition from night to day seeming to imply that they were already at the hospital for some amount of time and the situation concerning the FBI was explained to him in some amount of detail off screen.

the fun thing is that anybody that could hack the police computers could get the information so neither L nor Sherlock could be sure that Kira is related to the police. this is something that the manga decides based on plot needs but in real life that could cause more harm than good. if you aren't directly related to the police, Sherlock (or L) would be doomed. knowing this, Sherlock would never assume that Kira is directly related to the police so he wouldn't be able to find Light. let's not talk about the "I found that the first murder happened in japan because of reasons" or that sherlock wouldn't know how kira kills. there's no reason for sherlock to try to find a death note in kira's bedroom since he doesn't know you need to use a notebook to kill. or that a regular pen, mixed with other regular pens, is a "key" to open the secret compartment where the notebook is.

L doesn't has enough criminals to play a city by city Taylor scam around the whole world. there was also the chance that kira didn't kill taylor so fast. if Kira had writen something on the lines of "Lind L.

@@Fairenough642 I won't say that it's a plot hole. it's just that L's trick worked because he knew that Kira was from japan and he knew it... because no reason. plot just ignores the fact that heart attack isn't that uncommon worldwide. any criminal that died of heart attack in any part of the world could had been Kira's first test but L, by miracle of plot convenience, knew it was the guy that died in japan. L's Taylor stunt only worked because, by miracle of plot convenience, Light decided that he had to kill a non-criminal (for the first time) in fear of being found knowing that he can't be found. in fact, Kira wanted to be seen as a force of justice so killing the detective in public would only hurt his image and does nothing good since nobody can prove he is kira. but, by miracle of plot convenience kira breaks his "rule" of killing only criminals to get rid of a detective. and yes. Kira could had been far more subtle with the FBI. he has the power to control people's actions before the die and can define the cause of death. he only had to take care of one of them and not with a heart attack. control what he does or doesn't do so he reports you aren't suspicious and then make him die of accident three days later. who cares abut the other FBI?

[@AE86FTS]

7:18 Astronomy? Sherlock literally didn't know that the Earth revolved around the Sun as it "wouldn't make a pennyworth of a difference to him or his work".

[@eirdonne_]

lmaoo wow thats actually funny

[@milesedgeworth3667]

He has NIL knowledge on anything not pertaining to Crime

[@broken_tv7963]

Could you do a opposite on this, where L tries to solve and arrest Professor Moriarty?

[@kissena3830]

Points -- People think Death Note is hard but it is not really. The hard part is proving Light = Kira. Not finding Kira. -- Kira is just a serial murderer. Oh please the overestimation of Light. -- That the problem for Light, Sherlock is also good at knowing the intention. If Light moves unsuspectedly it is over. -- The other problem is Sherlock is so good that he can stop the killing even earlier (but probably won't do that) -- Technically No, the difficulty won't change even if Sherlock arrives after L's death. Because unlike Mello and Near. Sherlock would already be eager and is already prepared. In fact it becomes much easier, because he already have a lot of evidences. -- No , L is not a better detective than Sherlock. But it doesn't mean he can't be lucky. -- Sherlock if not the same then have much better intuition than L.

The only problem I could see is Holmes' reputation - he's a big deal and something of a celebrity in London policing circles, and his involvement with a case as high-profile as Kira's would be hard to cover up. Chances are, Light would see the news story or overhear it in passing, write his name in the Death Note, and call it a day.

This video makes me want to get into Sherlock Holmes

[@javi_el_sucio]

i think the mayor he is kira is when and a plot hole and logic hole is when light recovers his memories on the helicopter he uses a watch with a hiddent compartment and he say something like "old habits" or something like that mean that he always wore that clock now that will be visible through the security system on the building where Aizawa took his pants off and he leaves all the metal stuff on a tray that goes through a Xray machine now light and everyone i guess they have to use that watari must seen a suspicious piece of paper and needle inside a watch you can see that system on the episode 18th also watari said "they have to get use to our security"

LET'S GOOO!!! watching this rn

[@Apollos_Planet]

thank you for making a youtube vid about this. i loved the tiktoks

[@Apollos_Planet]

oh i thought this was light vs lelouch

[@dr.dre.d2350]

Love these videos. Only love and support, keep it up

[@Dhairya3333]

Alternate ending -> Light knew that his room was being investigated and death note was seen by someone so he killed each and every member in the task force including every british detective he could think of. He would be really angry by knowing the fact that he almost got caught so he threatens to kill the government if they carry on further investigation. After this he finds about the 2nd kira and manipulates Misa as he did in the original series and after Sherlock Homes successor Near comes into play he has no idea about who is Kira(except the fact that he knows that Kira is from Kanto just like Sherlock he can interpret it) as the orignal task force was killed and every evidence of Light being Kira is removed. After discovering that there is a 3rd death note Light uses Misa again to kill everyone and get the death note. Near finds it fishy that a whole group of ppl died from a unusual heartattack. He suspects that Kira did it. Light never gives the notebooks to anyone so that he can have monopoly over the notebook.Light after graduating is now a Cheif police officer and continues to kill more criminals as he knows them all. Near finds it fishy and suspect that anyone from the police/or their families is Kira. Light then finds it fun battling with another detective and as Near was about to expose Light and Misa he Orders Misa's Shinigami to kill Near. Light won in this timeline......

[@johnokazaki7967]

15:00 Yes, he knows about the position of ALLL the stars in the sky yet he didn't know the earth orbits the sun, welp

[@PanCake-uu7he]

Man at this point these characters are just like superman, I like the dynamic between L and Light cause they seem at lest possible in the real world, at this point it’s like Sherlock is a superhero more fictional than real.

[@Xeno7001]

Honestly i think light may not be smart enough to stop sherlock from recognizing him as Kira from a simple conversation (according to tour video) But I think light would be smart enough to know He knew and desperate enough to get shinigami eyes to kill sherlock because of how arrogant and reckless He would be

[@ragnarokgamingallaboutgami2793]

Light is stupid but not dumb. He will never make the shinigami eye deal. He would rather rely on miracles or else he would be like where are you Misa 😭 where is takada 😭😭😭 what will I do now ?😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Trizzer89]

Sherlock would crush it like he usually does

[@carrot708]

Sherlock would instantly gather that A) The killer is a student in the Kanto Region, and B) He only kills those whose name and face are made public, but he wouldn't suspect supernatural means until a crime scene investigation and and possibly an autopsy. "Notice anything, Watson?" "Nothing out of the ordinary." "Exactly."

[@marvankasnoph4142]

Yo this was aMAZing!😁

[@Tasuke]

Fun video! I find it interesting to see two different stories come together like this. I definitely think Sherlock Holmes could catch Light and it would be fun to watch him do so.

[@user-zb8hc2im4e]

I do think that light could outwit him, I mean Moriarty did it too

[@rulas___1790]

Moriarty is million times smarter than light

[@user-zb8hc2im4e]

@@rulas___1790 I think it depends on which version of Moriarty you choose

[@cryamistellimek9184]

@@user-zb8hc2im4e This video is strongly based on the books, there Moriarty is one of the only people to ever live who could contend with a mind like Holmes.

[@kurakunyy9631]

Now do Shinichi(Detective Conan) vs The Kira Case

[@natman2939]

before I begin (only 0:43 in so far) I want to make a prediction. Sherlock would HAVE to publicly fake his death if he were going after Light, or else publicly state that he supported Kira and had no interest in going after him. Otherwise the fact that his face and name are already public knowledge means Kira could kill him the second he realizes there is a threat. L was a threat because his face and name were unknown. Batman (in the famous "Could Batman catch Kira" video) has his name and face hidden as well, even though it's admittingly not hard to figure out who he is. But Sherlock could be penned on day 1.

[@KingNazaru]

Can you do Sherlock Holmes vs the Phantom of the Opera (book version) or Mr. Hyde?

[@johnpett1955]

Kinda goes to show that if L wasn't so childish, he probably could've been able to catch Light. Sherlock, on the other hand, works more in the shadows and could catch him due to how he doesn't tend to reveal himself.
