I feel like Death Note was always a sad eerie story for me. At first it was an epic fight of intelligence between two people, but after the death of the one detective lady where Light made her commit suicide it turned into a sad story about this man’s decent into madness and insanity. It’s quite sad especially after seeing what type of person Light could have been. In the end when I see him laughing manically trying to convince everyone of his delusions, I always remember the first episode where he was a bored high school student.

[@puff_and_co]

Deathnote is incredibly tragic, and just like you said, it's heartbreaking to think about what Light could have been. My sister and I are rewatching it and she said it was incredibly sad to her, and I agree. It just shows the amazing ability of the writing.

[@kasumikiku4665]

The death note corrupted him, giving him the God Complex. Being a manipulative bitch and became a pathetic coward human at the end of the manga, his ending in the manga is kinda funny and it humiliates him so much which he deserves it for killing L. His father's death is useless for him and Near is true he is just a murderer sociopath. Ryuk is even worst than Light, destroyed Light's future just because he is BORED lol

[@Rob0_t]

It's just like Yoichiro (Light's father) said once. It's this power of killing that the Death Note has that is cursed and It curses people (It was also stated by Ryuk that things always end badly for humans who use the Death Note). It's funny to see that when Light loses his memories about the Death Note, he's a very sweet and considerate person, but when he owns the Death Note he turns into a sadistic serial killer. And of course, Light has his own fault on this since we could see that his dad also had ownership of a Death Note at one point and wasn't corrupted by that power, but think of what most people would do if they dad that sort of power. I'm not even sure about what I would do myself.

Another great argument for Light being smarter is his lack of experience. L had been doing this since he was 8 light’s ability to adapt and actually combat L is insane, its quite clear that as Brilliant as L is he also had a shit ton of advantages. he had every law enforcement agency in his hand which is how he found light. so while light had the supernatural element on his side, L had the world on his. they both had advantages

[@carlensoreo4886]

I think the writer tried combating that by making him the valedictorian and saying how he solved cases in the past. And the fact that he was sweating hard asl during the tennis match shows that L is still leaps and bounds above light. Also light is in the in and could get info by forcing people to do what he wants them to do

[@carlosrubalcava6963]

[@IRLZeni]

The reason the shningami king liked light so much is because he saw himself in him. The A-kira chapter shows this. The reason he added that rule is because like light, the shinigamj king hates to lose and tanaka definitely outsmarted him so he made an example out of him

[@yanislavcho]

L is definitely socially awkward, but 1/10 is unfair imo. Just as one example, remember how the first time he met Misa he complimented her to distract Light, then swiped her phone, while making a joke. L clearly understands social dynamics, but he just prefers not to engage in them. So it's more like he doesn't care to socialize, not that he can't. I'd give him a 4 or 5/10 at least.

[@sebastianmoscoso9404]

He definitely has trouble do to his nature and like you say lack of care to engage in social behavior but he can do pretty well if he tries

[@flyingpirateovertheclouds3044]

[@ayrtonjoga]

I'd say 5 is the perfect spot, he isn't very social, but understands how it works and succeeds when he needs to try

[@LGTGHOSTHUNTING]

Somebody with 1 / 10 social skills would not be able to stand up and give a speech to a room full of people nor would they be able to improvise that phone call to Matsuda without giving away he was using code words. Imo L and matsuda should have the same score because they both have the same capacity for social situations, they are just naturally awkward at it.

[@zombies4evadude24]

That’s because L hates the human race, that they’re manipulative lying tricksters (generally speaking not wrong). That’s why he doesn’t have any friends that the *actually* considered a friend. The Author said he lied when saying Light was his first friend.

[@XSparkleDogX]

I actually think that the line about Light being L's first ever friend was genuine in a very unconventional way. Since L is a very unconventional character, his definition of a fulfilling friendship is probably not what an average person would expect it to be. His quasi-friendship with Light has probably been the most mentally stimulating relationship L has ever had. They are on the same wave-length and both can surprise the other (when nothing/nobody ever surprises them). Solving this case together with the person who is equally competent and intelligent as L yet also the key to the puzzle has got to be the most exciting human interaction for him. Even though he knows it is not sustainable and that, in the end, one of them will have to lose, having a worthy opponent like Light playing this game with him makes this worth it.

[@BriarShinn]

Hm, I could see that but Tsugumi Ohba did say that L actually had a very strong distaste for Light the entire time so it just depends on what you think counts as a friend, I like that it is left up for fan speculation I personally think L only said it to see what Lights reaction would be and to get in his head

[@iNeedScissors61]

5:11:05 If memory serves me, the remaining life span of the first Shinigami to sacrifice himself for Misa, would have been transferred to her. Depending on how diligent he was about writing names in his death note, quartering her lifespan would still leave her with, in theory, hundreds, maybe thousands of years to live. This doesn't in any way discredit her loyalty to Light, as we have no reason to think she is aware.

[@Hugsloth]

Misa's lifespan is one of those things about DN that can really tie your brain in a knot. Two divisions of her lifespan but potentially Rem's years, but also what if her eventual suicide was the result of her life being so shortened, and that Light's defeat was part of facilitating said severely reduced lifespan.

[@BusJACKTV]

5:11:00 I’m not sure if you address this later but the anime specifically mentions that when a shinigami dies by protecting a human the human inherits their remaining lifespan. So it’s implied Misa’s lifespan is much longer than a normal humans, thus even having it halved could still leave her with a longer life than most people.

[@bunniesandbeheadings3336]

Yeah that’s one of the rules. Even assuming Gelus and Rem don’t kill many people, at the very least Misa would’ve gotten that one guy Rem killed for Higuchi’s, L’s and Watari’s lifespan shortly after she traded for the eyes. Tbh though I think even the author forgot about that rule, since Misa still canonically dies very young lol

The power of the deathnote that Naomi didnt take Light's phone for a chance to expose Light as Kira because her "fate",in the story, was already complete, hinted to be a hidden suicide.

[@EngineScypex]

2. I don't think it takes to be a genious to try how far you can go. 3. If the death note can control her to commit suicide (something you actively do unlike an accident) and it's already in effect it's only natural that she can't control her body anymore.

Honest to God, Matsuda is the BEST character. Throughout everything he was incredibly underestimated and yet in the end, he was always the one who pulled through. He got the evidence Yostuba had the Notebook, he was the one who was always there to support the others, and HE was the only one who acted in the end and finally ended Light once and for all.

A small correction: Near potentially using the Death Note to control Mikami was not debunked. The Death Note CAN be used to control a holder of the Shinigami Eyes, as Light had done when controlling and eventually killing Jack Neylon, a Shinigami Eye wielder in the manga. He also uses the Death Note to kill Higuchi, another user of the Shinigami Eyes. A mistranslation of the Death Note's 39th rule is the main cause of this discrepancy. The commonly used English translation for this rule states "Humans that have traded for the eye power of a god of death will see a person's primary life span, and will not be influenced by the Death Note." Which seems to imply a Shinigami Eye user cannot be controlled. This, however, is a mistranslation. A more accurate translation of the Japanese reads "The lifespan visible by Shinigami Eyes is the person's original lifespan, one that is not affected/influenced by the Death Note in the human world." Thus, the statement was talking about the Shinigami Eyes displaying the projected lifespans of humans in the event that they never come into contact with a Death Note, not that the eye user themselves cannot be influenced by the Death Note. This means that Near still could have used it to cheat in his battle against Kira. Perhaps, then, Near's "misfortune" at the hands of the Death Note is a life of inactivity and inability to step out from L's shadow.

[@djsjdh-hoahdi]

i think that ties in really well with the game that Near viewed it all as. L made it a contest of ego where he had to win to prove it to himself. Near said, you’re nothing but a murderer, this is nothing but a game, as long as i can solve the puzzle and come out on top i don’t care how i do it. a great way to wrap up this tale cautioning of the dangers of human ego.

[@jermm2183]

even if Near used the notebook on Mikami I think Light would have lost. Near would have 5 choices for victory 1. Using it to kill Light 2. Using it to kill Mikami 3. Using it to manipulate Light 4. Using it to manipulate Mikami 5. Not using it It's obvious 1 and 2 weren't done. If Near used it to manipulate Light or Mikami he would still have the notebook with neither knowing his real name. It is somewhat confirmed that it wasn't used on Light with the ruies of the death note (this could be due to mistranslation and is a grey area.) This is due to the rule that once the type of death written in the note book can be only overriden within 400 seconds but Near found the notebook in advance and ryuk used the death note to kill light of a heart attack. If Near were to use it on Mikami (which I find likely as Near wouldn't want Mikami to discover the Notebook has been tampered just o be safe) it would not change the result. Mikami would have still gone to the warehouse and written the names in the fake book. That's why I never understood the debate. It's probably true, but it doesn't matter or change the result

According to the stats in the 13th edition, Near has intelligence equal to Light. Not saying that makes them evenly matched, as Lights overall stats beat out pretty much everyone when you add them all together, esp since he's got charisma going for him. I just will forever defend my boy bc he catches way too much shit for being a "wannabe L" like that's not precisely what he was raised to be.

A 10 hour masterpiece of a deep perspective of death note and there wasn’t a single sloppy/lazy moment. Truly incredible, thank you for this video

[@princeytron]

Honestly, in my opinion Light’s biggest flaw was simply his hugely inflated ego. It’s exactly as L said, he is immature and hates to lose. He had many actual solutions open to him during the final arc, yet he had a psychological need to be the one to beat Near. To beat him by being better and winning. He couldn’t do it any other way. It’s why I have said Kira would have won with a dumber person doing it. What would you or I do in his position? The easiest solutions. Not the most complex, over the top, convoluted plans to prove I’m smarter than someone. Hey I’m perfectly happy to cheat or use cheap tactics in such a high stakes situation. I’d have no qualms. But since Light has this pathology he simply *must* beat Near in his own game, in a mental contest of wits. Think, for a second, truly, about the level of pure power Light/Kira possessed prior to the final confrontation. It’s not properly depicted, but it’s very clear that the world has flipped. The same minority that openly supported Kira and were thought of as extremist weirdos, are now the norm. It is the anti-Kira people who exist in a minority. Almost every world government has officially either stopped anti-Kira activity, or outright declared support. Or at least, are on their way there. Light literally controlled the collective resources of most of the worlds governments. Including all military and intelligence agencies. He knew exactly where and exactly when Near was going to meet him. Exactly where the actual in person Near would be. What would you do? You wouldn’t walk in completely without a backup plan so convinced of your own superior brilliance that you’d win. What I would do, is very simple (hence why Light doesn’t bother to entertain it) All it takes is a phone call. Literally just call the chief of staff, or the emperor, to literally any top military leader in the nation. Then simply explain. I am Kira, blah blah. There will be a group of people in X warehouse on X place at X time. These people are enemies of Kira. I am charging you with the responsibility of ensuring that no one gets out of that building alive, except for one person. A person known as Light Yagami will be in attendance of this meeting. His safety is paramount and he must be protected at all costs. Once you have dealt with everyone else, you will ensure he escorted safely to X location. He will identify himself clearly when he sees your people. If a single hair is harmed on Light Yagami’s head. I promise that every political and military leader will not survive till their next sunrise, do you understand? Let’s be honest, faced with such a threat, by such a larger than life figure. 99% chance that whoever it is caves to the command. They might even want to do it, considering how popular pro-Kira thoughts and attitudes are. Then all Light has to do is go to the meeting. Ensure it’s actually Near (cuz if he didn’t actually go, he couldn’t be sure. Otherwise I’d just have the entire place levelled with an air strike). During the meeting, it’s highly unlikely Near would be able to pull out his win. A, Light wouldn’t even have to have Mikami come at all. But he might, if he wants to get rid of all loose ends at once. And B, there’s no need for the weird complex fake notebook switchy crap. Even if Near did convince everyone. It wouldn’t matter, everyone is marked for death anyways. Even if they cuff him, whatever. They won’t kill him, they’re too ‘noble.’ Then Light just waits for the death squad to breach, shout out “I am Light Yagami! And boom. They’d gun down everyone else before they could explain anything. Then all Light has to do is take the Death Notes from each person ensuring he has all of them, then simply allow the soldiers to escort him away. Whole thing done super easy by simply utilising some of the truly immense power and resources he possesses. It’s ironic, Light constantly touts himself as a God, yet he barely exercised any actual power over people, unless you count just killing them. He was always locked in a personal mental struggle that it distracted him from the larger world.

[@johnlevin4567]

Major issue with that is now the governments of the world have a clue to Kira. All they need to do is have a third party kidnap Light later on and they’ll be safe. This could be many years later, and have the group claim to be unaffiliated with the government. Even if the governments of the world were too scared to do this, there is no guarantee that every single person who knows that Light Yagami is somehow affiliated with Kira will obey, and none of them will leak the information or use it to kill Light themselves. At the end of the day, that plan just has too many unknowns.

[@Adjgar-uu7bu]

@@johnlevin4567 The government would be way too scared to even touch Light Yagami knowing he has a relationship to Kira, they would think as soon as they take Light everyone would die. Even if the government had a SLIGHT suspicion Light was Kira, they would never do something like that because it's too risky for them. Light could even tell Misa or Mikami to just kill everyone from the government if Light doesn't send Misa or Mikami a message every lets say 10 hours. Even if thats too hard, Light could just bring along Mikami and the government would have no idea who to kill, you are also ignoring the fact Light has been in control for 5 years and the government wouldn't dare do anything. Light has so many options, he could have just not went or tested the notebook again, but he did. He could have just put in a real paper inside the death note (really well concealed so it looks like a death note paper) and told Mikami to write his name there, yes they could test it and realize that the paper isnt real, but in that 20 minute frame of Near explaining to everyone why Light is guilty, they couldn't have. Light was just too arrogant, I also think it was a bit of story-bending for Light to lose because realistically Light was smart enough to avoid all these things.

[@princeytron]

@@Adjgar-uu7bu Actually I thin it would be the opposite. They would consider it too risky NOT to do as Kira commands. If Kira makes it clear that not following the command leads to deadly consequences, what choice do they truly have? And I doubt they’d immediately make the connection that Light IS Kira. The only people who even suspect such a thing are all dead or in that Warehouse, it’s more likely they’d assume that Kira sees Light as valuable for some purpose or plan and wants to protect him for some reason. But even if you disagree with my specific laid out plan, the point I was making is that there were far *more* solutions more easily available for Light to use that he didn’t bother with. Plans that you or I can come up with because we’re not a pathological narcissist who must use the most convoluted brilliant plans and schemes to prove intelligence. Those solutions you entitled are valid examples or alternative approaches. I simply mentioned one possible one utilising Political/Social power of the Kira figure. I’d probably actually do all of them. As many backup plans as possible, everything I can think of. At least 5 contingencies. Wouldn’t you? I mean, this is literally a life and death confrontation right? Would you trust one single plan, even one you think has no holes, alone? I wouldn’t. I’m humble enough to understand I’m not perfect and thus my plans may have flaws or holes, thus I’d happily employ multiple of them to make sure all of them together would ensure victory. But Light is SO sure of his own brilliance, his own perfection, that he goes in with only one single, extremely convoluted complex plan and trusts it completely because, well, he came up with it, so it must be foolproof. He can’t entertain the possibility that he’s missed something, especially as the show processes and he gets more and more narcissistic.

[@Ishanmathur-l8g]

That is what I do not like about stories or anything fiction. They show certain illogical things which are only done so as to take the story in a certain direction And when I think what would someone in reality do in this situation, it's completely different. Same with death note. A person as equivalently smart as Light Yagami in real world would be way smarter in the sense that they would not do certain foolish acts which Light did, like they would not have ego or a child like behavior. In the start itself they would be well aware that they can be tracked and will not be so reckless about using it. In that way I consider C -Kira better. As he was never tracked atleast. It was light's own desires and way of doing things that led to his fall

[@tomonewi]

​@@princeytronPersonally, my first thought would be "Oh goddamn, I don't wanna die." But when it comes to wonder why Light Yagami, I feel like my first thought would be "Oh, is he Kira?" I'd probably be like "Maybe, but I don't know" and I wouldn't entertain the thought much outside of my mind.

[@danielshore1457]

I think L is smarter than Light but the story context gives them an even playing field, L is held back by the task force (I'd say most notably Lights father as if Light wasn't his son he would be more willing to follow with L's theory). And Light is held up by the fact that he has a literal God helping him, as without Ryuk, L would have won at the potato chip scene as Light wouldn't know where he was being observed from and would have either the killing stopped or he kills and gets observed doing so.

[@EngineScypex]

L is held back by the task force? Without obvious plot armor over 9000 the task force would've sent L to hell (well, probably more prison). Not only did he constantly lie to them, he straight up violated the law himself. Light's father did agree to the violation of civil rights in form of monitoring his son so L would drop the suspicion. L: We found nothing? Meh' doesn't matter, even so we have absolutely no evidence against Light, we continue with Light as our only suspect.

[@joeboah6040]

You are pretty wrong there. If we suppose that Light just gets the Death Note and Ryuk never appears, Light would have never learned of Raye Penber and so L would not start suspecting the two families Raye was investigating, which in turn means the potato chip scene never happens. It's hard to speculate what would go on from there, Light did want to get close to L so he could learn his name, if we assume that Rem still gives Misa Gelus's death note, then things do spiral on from there. The main road we can take is: A: Light somehow found a way to get close to L. In this scenario Light and L meet and the story stays a lot more on the same path the canon timeline went, L starts suspecting light and is 99.99% sure that he is Kira, just like the canon timeline. Misa then appears and the story gets pretty complex from there, if you want I would be willing to go more in depth with this. B: Light doesn't find a way to meet L before Misa gets Gelus's death note. In this scenario things remain really stale, after Misa realizes who Kira is at Sh

People expect the Musical to be bad because it was made in the west, but its genuinely glorious! It's got a few plot differences (biggest one being Rem, having a fascination with humans and find them somewhat beautiful, ending with "When Love Comes" where she sings about being explicitly In Love with Misa). Beautiful show, Japanese and English. It was only performed in Japanese, which is wild because it was written in English for an English audience. Also Misa's "Are Your Ready" is a genuine bop, and Sayu's "My Hero" is a hilarious piece of irony where she sings about how Light is her hero while hating Kira. "Stalemate" is something I listen to constantly (made an ASL interpretation for class). Just everything is great.

@ExperGamez to add to this comment, I also love how you've widen my knowledge of the manga, it's actually surprising how much the anime adaptation missed out on a lot of detail of N and Mello. This has really been great to learn of these amazing characters which I felt in the anime, were very rushed or very biased to the anime of learning light yagamis death note powers. This has put a whole new "light" to the knowledge of taking down kira and misa. Though, I do wish L got his revenge, or won. It does make me feel bad for L not getting this far, because HE DID get this far... though like you said, no one would've believed him. I do like part 2 of death note, but it's not the same as to L vs Light. Without the 5 year knowledge Light grew up to learn to being a "god" he really was an equal to L. I wish L won, in any way..

[@westernsavage2313]

Around 2:19:48, you state that L doesn't care about Ukita. While it's true that through his backstory, we are told that L does not care about things like justice. While he is not sweating, however, we can see at 2:19:58 that he is clutching onto his legs extremely tight. His hands are even shaking as he does. He is the most distant to Ukita out of everyone, and so it would make sense he is the one most calm. But he is also acting calm under pressure to keep Aizawa from getting reckless and getting killed as he states, showing a degree of control under pressure.

[@renkensa5474]

In the anime they made him show much more emotion over Ukita’s death. He was scared.

Yeah, L early on showed genuine concern for the task force and wanted them to stay alive. The chase for Kira simply began to consume his thoughts so much, that eventually he viewed the rest as baggage. He invites most of them to just leave during Yotsuba arc. I think L's initial fear is because Kira's method of killing is totally unknown to him, he has no way to analyze the danger his task members are in, and *that* scares him.

[@streetboy2702]

Its weird how Ryuk helped Tanaka with his plans in such a short period of time more than he helped light(even though Ryuk did help Light to some extent), but I guess you could say Ryuk did it for the apples which shows that if Light really wanted to and got over his pride he could have bribed Ryuk to easily win.

When I was a kid, I was rooting for Light. As an adult, I see him, with all his intelligence, a naive monster. Most of the criminals he killed did not deserve death. I think most become criminals out of necessity, for having been born into a hard life. There is a chapter which mentions how Kira started killing even petty thieves, which is absolutely horrible. And I wish this KZbinr talked more about this. Another extremely interesting fact not talked about, is Japan’s 99% incarceration rate in real life. 99% of people caught by the police are found guilty. How is this rate so high? Are Japanese detectives that much better at their jobs? No. There are just way more innocent people behind bars in Japan. *This means Light Yagami has killed countless innocent people.*

[@ggxsky4811]

Yep

[@gunship0995]

This is false, it's that 99% of people who GO TO COURT will be convicted. A lot of different countries have very high conviction rate (>85%), due to the nature of court taking extremely obvious cases. From the wiki: The conviction rate is 99.3%. By only stating this high conviction rate it is often misunderstood as too high-however, this high conviction rate drops significantly when accounting for the fact that Japanese prosecutors drop roughly half the cases they are given. If measured in the same way, the United States' federal conviction rate would be 99.8%.[10][11][12] In Japan, unlike in some other democracies, arrests require permission of judges except for cases such as arresting someone while committing a crime. Only significant cases with sufficient evidence are subject to indictment, since becoming a party to a criminal trial imposes a burden on a suspect; Japan's indictment ratio is only 37%-“99.3%” is the percentage of convictions divided by the number of indictments, not the criminals. As such, the conviction rate is high.

This is a great video with a lot of insight and few errors, but it's unreasonable to expect a flawless 10 hour run time. (9:19:10) The rule which debunks Matsuda's theory is mistranslated.

The intended wording, in Japanese, says that the *lifespan visible* with the shinigami eyes will not be influenced by the death note.

I like how this gives me new content I've never seen. Thank you for showing things I didn't knew about Death Note and making a 10 hour video the most entertaining video I have ever seen in this platform.

10 hour super analysis about Light Yagami and Death Note? Yes, please, and thank you! Fantastic mystery and con-artistry plots.

Id like to think that If light misspelled that motorcyclist's name 4 times in a row, the story wouldnt have happened.

What a great listen this was. I usually re-watch death note yearly, but I think this will suffice this time.

5 hours and 24 minutes in. It is currently 1:15 am. I did not expect to here more than 10 minutes. I'm gonna go to sleep now, but as soon as I finish this video I will be checking out more of your work. This is without a doubt one of the best video essays I have ever seen and there wasn't a single moment in this video that I felt like stopping and moving on.

[@Grasstoucher3]

Did you finish the video yet ?

[@maxlove8707]

Did bro find out that the rest of the videos are all about dbz?

[@Thwal]

@conSW1m3 yes. Twice

[@Thwal]

@maxlove8707 yes...

[@Grasstoucher3]

@@Thwal giving the fact bro hasn't posted in months he probably is making another big project like dragon ball retrospective or something. It's just a theory however. But I'm positive because this video was so good just to be a dbz shorts afterwards

When I saw the time length of this video I thought of 2 possibilities: A- It's a shortened version of the entire death note anime in one video. B- It's one of those 10 hour looped memes or somethin But it was neither. Holy hand grenade this is actually a full fledged 10 hour documentary about Death Note

Thanks i’m only up to the part, explaining Ella‘s backstory in the manga and I’m hooked 10 hours? This is incredible and I thought I was a death note fan. Thank you so much
