Death Note-Matsuda Moments-English dub [*Contains Spoilers*]

[@vincenttong007]

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.

I always hated how they treated Matsuda, they treated him like crap. And his reaction when he found out Light was Kira was heartbreaking. He trusted Light and was sad that the chief died for nothing. Poor Matsuda😭❤

[@KitsunesTrove]

I completely agree with you. I love Matsuda! He's actually my favorite character and I hate the way they treated him, too. He just wants to help and he tries his hardest, but they just see him as an idiot. Even when he does something that helps the case, they don't acknowledge him for it. And yes, so sad when he learned the truth about Light. The way he says, "Light...why?" and then just drops to his knees is so heartbreaking 😭 He was the one person who never stopped believing in Light. And Matsuda really looked up to Light's dad, too. I'm sure he was like a father figure to Matsuda. Matsu deserves more love. Thanks for watching!

[@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.

[@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!

[@SnekOil]

Started as a goofy rookie, became the Kira slayer

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.

@@KitsunesTrove He was my favorite character in deathnote as he was always kind to everyone and treated everyone like friends. He was also the most open minded of the bunch and even felt bad that he shot Light regardless of him knowing that Light was Kira. Best part is the fact that out of everyone, he didn't even hesitate to shoot Light and was the first one to do so. Those shots led to Light's death regardless of Ryuk writing his name in the death note. Just shows that we should never under estimate no one regardless of who they are or how they act.

[@KitsunesTrove]

@Leon S. Kennedy I agree! Matsuda is my favorite character, too. Even though I loved him from the start, I liked him even more after he shot Light. 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!

[@PWNINSWAGMASTER]

He’s not the smartest or brightest character, but he’s by far the most physically fit and most dangerous cop in the show.

[@lynnettehowell2690]

Good point and you are right he is quite an idiot

[@MeMe-po1ze]

When Matsuda made his first appearance into this series, there wasn’t a clear sign that he would be the one to end Kira. This guy has gone through so much, and it wasn’t easy at all. It required lots of effort and determination like no other... He became a hero...

[@KitsunesTrove]

I completely agree! Matsuda was always seen as an idiot by the other characters and they always underestimated him too. He gave it his best though and was very important to the investigation, especially during the Yotsuba arc. He's my favorite character and definitely a hero. And I was surprised, but pleased, that he was the one who took down Kira. Thanks for watching!

[@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.

[@paulthomas8884]

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!

[@lumenalcowzz]

Um Ryuk killed Light not Matsuda

[@KitsunesTrove]

@@lumenalcowzz Yeah, but I think that was probably because Light was seriously, and likely mortally, wounded by Matsuda. Ryuk killed Light because he said Light had lost. This is probably because Ryuk knew that Light would possibly die from all the gunshot wounds. Matsuda didn't kill Light directly, but I like to think that he led to Light's death in a way. I do want to believe this, because Matsuda is my top favorite character in the series, but I think it's true as well. Imo, Matsuda was indirectly responsible for Light dying. That's just how I see it anyway.

[@lumenalcowzz]

@@KitsunesTrove Ryuk said Light had to die because if they put him in jail, who knows when he'd die, and Ryuk didn't want to lie around waiting. So I think Ryuk killed him but it's whatever

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

[@KitsunesTrove]

Agreed! Matsuda has the most character growth in the show. We see him go from the new rookie, who offers a lot of comic relief, to the one person who nearly kills Kira.

Given how screwed Light’s sister ended up and how Matsuda was close to her father, I kind of hope that Matsuda and Light’s sister ended up together after the show. I think they could relate to how Light used everyone and find some comfort in one another.

[@Flashout3k]

@@KitsunesTrove did light family know about him being Kira??

[@KitsunesTrove]

​@@Flashout3k I don’t think so. The creator said that someone on the Task Force, probably Aizawa, would have told them that Light was killed by Kira. I think that sparing them the truth about Light being Kira is the right way to go about it. In my personal opinion though, I also think that if Matsuda and Sayu ended up together, he might tell her the truth eventually. I think he would feel guilty keeping it from her. Especially since he probably already feels guilty for shooting Light, and in Matsuda's mind, killing him too.
