I think it's partly because Death Note is such a neat blend of grim subject matter, melodramatic moments, and quirky dark comedy. The comedy never really overshadows the story, but it makes it all the more memorable and engaging. Ryuk's apples, Light's sarcastic quips, L's sugar binges, Misa's groupie behaviour, Matsuda's blunders, etc. The series is kinda self-aware in its melodrama too, otherwise we wouldn't have the potato chip scene. All this adds up to something where you can easily elevate aspects of the series to absurd meme territory. I think the creators were in on the joke too; for example, the parody panels from the manga where Ryuk wants a Gameboy Advance SP. What I'm saying is, the story memes itself. 😝

Also, I'm not fluent in Japanese nor do I know how to read it, but is there much variation in handwriting for Japanese characters? With them basically being little pictures, you'd need to be pretty close to a template for them to be legible right? Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm actually curious about it

​@@jakeschnare3120 One of the auxiliary sciences of criminalistics is graphology, which studies the lines/strokes of both writing and drawings. Handwriting has individual and unconscious characteristics that belong to each person and that is what is analyzed. For a graphologist it would be easy to identify that a handwriting belongs to the same person, and they can even reveal traits of the person in question. In short, Light would have been discovered if they had a graphologist investigating lol (I'm studying criminalistics and my teacher is precisely a graphologist)

One of the dumbest things I noticed on rewatch was after L introduced himself to Light and Light went back into his room and had that crazy monologue out loud, ranting that he was going to kill L. He said previously in the same episode that the cameras were gone but he didn't know if they removed all the wire taps. If they were still there, he would've been absolutely fucked. If they were smart, they should've removed all the cameras and wiretaps, but then placed another camera and wiretap somewhere there were none previously. He'd think they were all gone and would've think to look in a new spot.

@@Bloodtoxx Well in the series, once they find out about the notebook L, Near, and the cops in general all seem to agree that it would be better to deal with Kira in a private setting without making the details of the case available to the general public. Ironically, in their efforts to catch this criminal killing criminal, they committed quite a few crimes themselves, like the whole spying on Light's house thing, also kidnapping Misa and torturing her in some creepy basement for like a month with no lawyer or anything. Pretty sure that's not by the book, even if they found her hair on a video tape. Even if that's sufficient evidence to convict her, she never went through any normal criminal justice procedures.

At this point Naomi falls under the same category, she is an FBI agent (former) who is investigating him in an attempt to arrest him (and plans to join up with L). In her case she has important information on him that nobody else has figured out yet, so he has even more reason to kill her than Ray, tbh he really shouldn't have killed the other FBI agents since they had no fucking clue who Kira was and Ray was about to clear Light as "no suspicious activity to report."

@@Jjop017 I mean his whole thing has been "the ends justify the means." The fact that he gets a high out of the thrill of narrowly escaping a life and death struggle doesn't take away from his reasons for doing this in the first place. As Light says in the last episode he knew from the beginning that killing was evil, but he did it because it was (in his mind) a necessary evil to create a "better" world. Another way of looking at it is the Light from episode 1 decided to discard his moral purity and become a monster, for the "greater good". Think about the kind of person who would be capable of killing 24+ people per day, every day, for several years, including law-abiding citizens who just so happened to know too much. You have to be a bit of a twisted fuck to pull it off.

Because lord knows that over-privileged little shit has probably never thrown a real punch before in his life.

Not accurate, Ryuk would never accidentally write his ending on the death note so everyone accidentally dies. He knew what he was doing. 😂

[@stapler942]

A decade or so later Ryuk heard of this company called Netflix. He went down to the human world to pitch a series about Light but they wound up wanting a movie set in America and there were so many rewrites once he'd sold the idea that he finally just said "whelp, I'm out of here, humans are boring now." Then he went and got a desk job at the Shinigami King's headquarters.

Yeah as far as I know the whole "Innocence until proven Guilty" thing is more of an American/European thing. In Japan most people prosecuted for a crime are ultimately found guilty and imprisoned. You have a very low chance of getting out of it.

[@GrinningNimbus]

See I believe Aizawa might have been far enough away after 40 seconds (longer than you think) to not hear this. However they know she went missing after wanting to speak to L and the 2 at the desk would have mentioned she left with Light and he seemed to be real interested in what she had to say about the Kira investigation. Light would be under more suspician by the entire force and he'd be asked what she had to say

[@alpacawithouthat987]

This has always bothered me. Why would the two desk guys not mention that she wanted to speak with the investigation team and that they saw her leave with Light right before her disappearance

[@GrinningNimbus]

@@alpacawithouthat987 Right?

[@yedffgd]

⁠@@alpacawithouthat987The best explanation I can come up with is that Light may have made sure to kill the desk guys afterward, he frequently visited the police station long before becoming Kira so it’s far from implausible that he might already know their names. That being said, there definitely should’ve at least been an offhand line acknowledging it.

[@Nahanoo]

@@alpacawithouthat987that doesn’t incriminate light more. And L knew for 90% of the anime that light was Kira but had no proof. Just because you saw someone lash before they died don’t mean you’re the culprit. The police are pretty dumb as well, Light would answer their questions well enough they wouldn’t be able to corner him anywhere. If anything he just joins the task force sooner to keep an eye on him which is what he wanted anyways.

[@nicholasjohnson5845]

Dude, every time I watch Naomi give Light her ID card, I always think to myself, "If I was a character in Death Note, and I was helping search for Kira, I would never give someone my real identity." I mean seriously. How many of you had that same fantasy after re-watching this show so many times.

[@fart63]

Especially not some high school boy

[@MissDerpina2606]

Yeah, I found it strange. She was so cautious earlier but suddenly she gives her ID to a high school boy. I wonder why she did that? I guess she trusted him because he was Soichiro's son and also he reminded her of L. Maybe she was impatient to get involved in the case and wanted get in the team and believed Light would help her. Maybe she felt like to reveal her true name because Light did the same for her. Who knows?

[@robez457]

They would have never known about the death note. he only brought a page of the death note with him. You still need evidence to convict him. Remember he rigged the death note to burn in his desk if they found it. Even if he walks up to the police and says I’m Kira arrest me. They can’t because they don’t have any real evidence. I mean even if they found the death note they wouldn’t know what it really is. They couldn’t even test it is real. Because that’s tampering with evidence. They couldn’t charge him without testing to see if the notebook can really kill people. So light would just seem like a super fan of Kira. Who writes down every detail of his crime. At most they could probably think he’s an accomplice of the real Kira and what judge or jury is going to convict a teenager of these crimes without sufficient evidence. Try explaining to a judge and jury that a teenager used a magical notebook given to him by an invisible death god. To murder thousands of people 😂

[@ImNotAMuffin]

It only needs to be suspicious enough to hold him for more than two weeks, then the killings stop, as thats how long he had written ahead at this point. And him having a note that details how a person died, plus his house burning down when they search it with a warrant, is enough to hold him for more than two weeks while they prepare a case. Also with kira being a threat to politicians and world leaders everywhere, I dont see him getting a fair trial...

[@zambekiller]

​@@ImNotAMuffinthis is why I would have made a fake cover and hid it as a porn mag then had a fake death note with the names of the criminals and some of my classmates just to fuck with the cops if they ever found out.

@@noirekuroraigami2270 it's actually a lot quicker in Japan I think the longest someone there waited was 2-3 months because they kept finding evidence that proved he was innocent and they had to verify that it was real.

[@lxkn0745]

Considering L had wiretaps and cameras placed in the Chief of Police’s household and a Deputy Director’s as well (without his knowledge), I think L would have had no issue tampering with evidence or holding Light in prison even on the slightest suspicion he was Kira (failing a deductive reasoning test only measured the likelihood of Light being Kira but did not account for the possibility of finding the evidence to support it). And L definitely would of had no trouble testing the Death Note even if he felt it was fake.

Actual this scene is pivotal to the show. Snow saves Yagami here meaning he still receives the support of providence. But the reason for his downfall was that he got corrupted by power. (As his musical theme in the ost, getting more and more corrupted and disturbing...) That's because he decided to burn alive the girl that was loving and helping him that he couldn't notice Mikami also did use the Death Note to kill her and then lose against Near in the end. If he wasn't corrupted, he woudn't have lose. But that was impossible because even a smart and innocent teenager like Yagami will eventually become corrupted by power itself.
