imagine a world where society somehow functions just like now, but everyone is dumber than you except for one person and that one person is exactly as smart as you and you're both trying to kill one another.that'd be like a video game where everyone else would be an NPC and you and this other guy are player characters.wouldn't that be fun? i think it'd be exciting.

>>84857155i DID get the idea from death note. it would be a fun like real virtual reality game to play against someone.
>>84856257But I'm not trying to kill anyone. What, is this the middle of the bell curve boys having a giggle?
>>84857155The truth(of the work of fiction) could be whatever Ohkubo decides it to be - but my theory is that Near "cheated" by writing his name wrong in the death note on purpose multiple times.
Being smarter than the police doesn't stop them from shooting you, beating you, arresting you.
Shut up this is literally just Death Note you shameless hack
>>84856257What reason do we have to kill eachother, there can only be one?
>>84857374yeah that's what happened to light in death note, atleast in the anime it was, i havne't read the manga.>>84857425i have no idea, i just thought death note type 1 v 1 in some virtual reality would be cool and when i say virtual reality i mean basically like a simulation type of thing, not like vr goggles stuff.
>>84857451Do we start in the same country or opposite sides of the world? If its the latter you'd have to build up an army or assassins to get the other guy, like a real life RTS lol
>>84857519in the same country would be fun.imagine you spawn in and it's like real life, but there are quests that you have to do that inconvenience your enemy and the enemy has quests and missions that inconvenience you and eventually it leads to having to kill the other, if it starts in the same country there's more tension, if it's different countries there's like too much prep time.
>>84856257For the first time in my life I get to meet someone as smart as me and they want to kill me? Well, I guess it would relieve my boredom
>>84857365Near writes his own name in a death note? I don't really remember his plot much because everything after L dies is more of an epilogue and I barely pay attention even though I've watched it multiple times.
>>84858101the "cheat" was that near likely wrote mikamis name in the notebook to mind-control him and force the win, if he wrote his own name he wouldve died
>>84858201Oh so it's a fan theory, not something that definitively happened?
>>84858101the death of L sours a lot of people's experience of the second half of the show, but it's actually just as good as the first half, it's just that L is such a charismatic character it sours the experience.if they had foreshadowed L having heirs, if they had teased them in part 1, people would have been hype as fuck for near and mello, but since they show up out of nowhere it just pisses people off more, it feels like they didn't know what to do after killing off L so they just pulled shit out of their ass.
>>84858247>it feels like they didn't know what to do after killing off L so they just pulled shit out of their ass.Mayhaps that's the issue rather than people just being pissy about them not being L?
>>84858261nah, killing L was probably an idea that they had right at the start of the show, that's why the build up was so good, but then after L they kind of dropped the ball a little by making them come out of nowhere, but simultaneously if they foreshadowed that L had heirs it would have made people think L was gonna die so they couldn't have done that, they were in a tricky spot. but if you watch the show without a negative attitude for the second half, it's just as enjoyable as the first half.i like the humor of death note and the second half is still just as funny, like matt dying, that was funny and random. it does feel a little rushed though...
>>84858316They should have just let Light win after killing L.
>>84858645well it IS a shonen jump manga and it IS japan, so they would want the police to win.maybe originally light was supposed to win and then later while reigning over earth he gets killed by a mob of people who were all tired of living in fear of dying for making a mistake or something.like light getting what he wants but then killed for it would have been a cool ending too.
