Thank you for this!! I am doing a signing with the Death Note cast today and needed a refresher of Matsuda’s journey! This was just what I needed! 👍🏼

[@KitsunesTrove]

Oh wow, I can't believe it! Vincent Tong, thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video and comment on it. I really appreciate it. And I'm glad you found it useful, too. Death Note is my favorite anime of all-time and Matsuda has always been my favorite character. Thanks again for watching my video and leaving a comment! It really means a lot.

Kai shot light

[@mya_xo]

matsuda is hella underrated and just wholesome in general. he always wanted to help and be of use in the investigation even when he was shunned away and doubted from everyone on the task force :( his light hearted personality is refreshing from all the seriousness of the investigation anyway. but the fact that *spoiler* he’s the one to ultimately shoot light, when he was the one who had the most faith in him and his innocence. he could even understand at some extent why kira did what he did but when he learns light is kira, he had the courage to do that. now that’s character development at its finest. did i mention he’s cute too

[@KitsunesTrove]

I agree. I love Matsuda! He's my favorite character for so many reasons. In fact, I posted a video about why Matsuda is my favorite character and I bring up many of the same points that you do. I did always hate how everyone else treated him and acted like he was an idiot. He's really not stupid and only wanted to do what he could to help. He actually got them a big break in the case during the Yotsuba arc, but of course Matsuda doesn't get any credit for it. I allso really like his sense of humor, his innocence, and his ability to see both sides of the Kira debate. Matsuda shooting Light is one of my favorite scenes in the series. And as you mentioned, it realky shows Matsuda's character development. I wanted Light to lose anyway, but the fact that it was Matsuda who did it, was even better. You can tell how betrayed Matsuda felt to learn that Light was Kira. I think Light's total remorse for his father’s death, really pushed Matsu over the edge, too. Matsuda is just such a fun, relatable character and he deserves more love for sure. And you’re right...Matsuda is such a cutie, too. Thanks for watching!

[@kashkiwi]

[@KitsunesTrove]

@@justarandomguy1668 That's a good question. I was re-watching that part and Light does have his back turned, but it looked like Matsuda aimed more to Light's left side and was able to hit the watch that way. If that makes sense, lol. Still a tricky shot. I guess that's why his sharpshooting skills are something he's known for to the others. This is still one of my favorite scenes in the whole series, though. Thanks for watching!

[@rafaelsumano6840]

It’s funny how everyone treated him like shit but in the end he’s the one that took action when kira was trying to kill everyone on the spot with the note book he basically saved everyone there

[@KitsunesTrove]

Exactly! Matsuda is my favorite character for many reasons, but one of them is his character development and the fact that he brought down Kira. It's such a surprise, because he was the one who always believed in Light's innocence. And he really did save everyone in that warehouse, but of course not many people acknowledge this. I hated the way he was treated by everyone else, so I'm glad they gave him an epic scene like that at the end. Matsuda was already my favorite from the start, but I liked him even more after he shot Light, lol. Thanks for watching!

[@raniaal-hamdani1805]

he’s so easy to like. although L and Light are my fav characters, i as well like Matsuda. however, he did shoot Light, but it was uncalled for considering his emotions got into him and he had low expectations to Light being kira which lead to him being extremely hurt

[@KitsunesTrove]

That's true. He was the one person who believed in Light up until the very end, so he probably felt betrayed. I also think another thing that pushed Matsuda over the edge in that scene, was Light's total lack of remorse for the death of his father, who Matsuda really respected and looked up to. Thanks for watching!

The irony of Misa calling Matsuda old is that there is only a 2 year age gap between them

[@KitsunesTrove]

There's actually a six year age gap between them as Matsuda is 25 at this time and Misa is 19. Still not a big age gap though and I always found it funny that she considered him an "old guy", lol. Thanks for watching!

[@jacinto1477]

Matsuda like Misa WAY more than Light ever did.Misa should have gone with him

[@KitsunesTrove]

True. Matsuda does seem to have a crush on Misa and he would have cared about her, too. Where all Light did was manipulate Misa and use her.

[@stellaberndtson3406]

I'd like that couple but to me, Matsuda deserves better than Misa.

[@alwaysoreo4404]

SPOILERS Cheif yagami: dead Light: Dead Misa: dead L: dead Mello: dead Matt: Dead aizawa, near and Matsuda: Mass survivors guilt 😢

[@KitsunesTrove]

Very likely. And for Matsuda at least, probably guilt over shooting Light and ultimately leading to his death. In the manga, it shows that even after he shot Light, Matsuda still tried to help him, but Aizawa stopped him; this happens in the TV drama, too. And in the last chapter of the manga, which they didn't animate, Matsuda and Ide have a discussion where Matsuda wonders if they did the right thing or not. It wouldn't surprise me though, as you mentioned, if they didn't all have some form of survivors' guilt, too. Matsuda, Aizawa, and Near are my top three favorite characters though, so I'm glad they ended up surviving. Thanks for watching!

[@MikeXeno365]

Yea, he is what most of us, people watching the show would be like if we were really engaged in the Kira investigation.

Overall though, he was always so cheerful and I feel like he's a relatable character, too. Like we've all felt like Matsuda at some point. I also agree with you about him contributing to Light's death. A lot of people will disagree if someone says that Matsuda killed Light. You're right though. The only reason Ryuk wrote Light's name down, was because he had already lost, due to being shot so many times. Imo, even if Ryuk hadn't written Light's name, I think he still would have died from Matsuda's gunshot wounds. Thanks for watching!

Everybody thinks he's useless, but he did save everyone by shooting Light

[@KitsunesTrove]

Exactly! Matsuda is my favorite character and even though I loved him from the start, I loved him even more after he shot Light. He really did save everyone, and he's a lot smarter and more capable overall, than the others think he is. Thanks for watching!

I agree. though L is my favorite character, i feel like Matsuda probably had the most Potential. it sucks that they treat him like shit, Cause he is definitely not the dumbest character, that honor goes to Misa.

Very true. And I feel like Matsuda had some really good character development as well. More so than some of the other characters.

[@porkflaps4717]

Well by the time he shot Light, Near had the Death Note and Light was pretty much busted and at a dead end. He had that tiny piece of a page in his watch but I don't think he was writing too many names on that.

[@neochaositizen7490]

Ngl I hate myself for finding him annoying in the beginning....he's literally one of the cutest and best character of death note. He is just as essential as any other character.... I do feel like he was shamed a little too much but in the end if he wasn't shamed in the initial eps his shooting of Kira wouldn't be as impactful as intended. Seriously man death note deserves an Oscar this is just genius

[@KitsunesTrove]

Matsuda is actually my favorite character. And I also think he's really cute too. You're right though, he is an essential part of the story. Some people think that he was useless or unnecessary, but he plays a vital role. I did always hate the way the other characters treat him. They acted like he was an idiot, but he's actually pretty smart and he was beneficial to the investigation. I do like that he was the one to shoot Light too. It wouldn't have been as surprising or exciting if Aizawa or any of the others shot him. With Matsuda, you don't see it coming, especially since he openly supported Light for the entire series.

Matsuda is my second favorite character in the series. I don't think he ever really got his just credit. He was loyal and at Chief Yagami's side every step of the way, he was the one raising all the moral questions and observations, and Light would ultimately die by Matsuda's hand. Symbolically, Matsuda was the moral absolution that Light claimed to have sovereignty over.

[@KitsunesTrove]

Yes, I agree with you completely! Matsuda is actually my favorite character in the series and he is one of the most moral as well.. He was able to see and understand the perspective of the Kira supporters and even questioned whether or not Kira was really evil. Yet, he also saw it from the other side and knew that as a detective, it was his duty to help them catch Kira. And yeah, he was very loyal to Chief Yagami. I'm sure Matsuda probably saw him as a father figure, too. I do hate how the other characters treated him sometimes. They acted like Matsuda was a useless idiot, never believing in him, and then not giving him credit when he did help out. When actually, he's pretty smart and helped out tremendously. I do love how he was the one to take down Light though. Especially since, up until then, he had been the only one on the team who believed in Light completely. Thanks for watching!
