>be 200 IQ genius>fall for the most obvious bait
If he was actually 200 IQ he wouldn't have made Kira an obvious thing to begin with, he could've just made all the deaths accidents and cancer instead of heart attacks, but he was literally too busy jacking off over his own power
Crazy that he died a virgin
>>214158299You've never met hyper intelligent autists, huh?
Would have been funnier if they put a white guy on with some ultra black name just to rub it in
>>214158299imagine you were a genius and one day you literally see demons and have supernatural abilities. your intellect is shit in comparison
>>214158387The point wasn't just the killing, it was so that people would know someone was passing down righteous judgement. He wanted the world to change to his desires.
>>214158299Is Light actually meant to be a 200 IQ genius? I thought the idea was that he's a midwit with delusions of grandeur who's as dangerous as he is because he has a massive cheat code.
>>214158537Then he should have killed corrupt politicians and billionaires, and not random small time criminals who were already in jail.
if I got a death note I would use it to randomly kill public figures with funny deaths important people drowning in their toiletsactors shitting their pants on galas, slipping on shit and breaking their necks10 presidents in a row of some random country dying exactly 1 week after their inauguration so nobody runs for president anymore because they believe it's cursed
>>214158768Fuck, yeah me too. I've used ChatGPT to simulate Willy Wonka dying in embarrassing ways over a dozen times now. It's like crack.
>>214158669Light is intelligent with tests and grades but L is more cunning and has more real world experience and deduced pretty quickly that Light was just a high school student and extremely egotistical which lead to his downfall
His most retarded move was>L suspects Kira is a student because of timing of deaths>Light learns his suspicions, starts making criminals to kill themselves at the beginning of each hour at :00 minute sharpHe willingly admits that Kira has insider info on his investigation and also can control when death will happenIt was so retarded and he did it just to taunt L. It pales in comparison to OP which was at least due to by a clever play and luck of L
he was still an emotional teenager.
>>214158299he's a teenager
>>214158730That doesn't get the average person to change it just convinces them to not go into politics.
"hacking" into his father's computer was Light's biggest mistake, they would have never figured out it was him without doing that
>>214158949the writing is very contrived and a lot of characters make very specific decisions just to have the plot develop in a certain direction. how the death note works wasn't even fully planned because they kept adding new rules on top of old ones, because the author obviously realized how exploitable the whole concept is.
>>214158420He smashed prime misa pussy on the daily
What was Light even smart at in school? It never sounded like he had a favorite subject or interest in education.
>>214159010At the school (entrance?) ceremony he and L made a talk because they were high achievers or something
>not making her suck your dick before she offs herselfThis story makes zero sense
>>214159028He was clearly a fag
>>214159030He was at the top of his class and on his way to a very prestigious college and was more than likely going to be a detective like his father before finding the death note
>L broadcasts a modified version of the new into Light's house that includes multiple criminals that aren't mentioned anywhere else Never refuted how Light would get out of this one
>>214159073Now now anon not need to project your own insecurities
>>214159028He never had sex with Misa
>>214159030Does even the average student? I feel like even high achievers only study hard because basically everyone says you have to or for the sake of accomplishment. The latter of which I could see being Light's only reasoning.Specially in asia where kids will even lose sleep for the sake of studying more, can't like something much when you're being grinded to the bone to stuff your face in it.
>>214159161You don't move in together just for fun, a girl without sex would have leave him long ago.
>>214159103It is not my insecurity, he had a gothic lolita lusting for his dick but he did nothing I mean it is true he was not even a homo, but more of a asexual. L was ready to suck his dick as well but he was similarly disinterested He is so asexual that he had to fake fapping to porn at his room so people watching him with spy cameras thinks he is normal
>>214159201Misa was infatuated with Light because the murderer that killed her parents were killed by Light in prison. She became obsessed with him ever since then she wanted to have sex but Light only wanted to use her its not implied they were intimate
>>214158387but that requires extra writing and i guess he was too stupid to use a printer
>>214159222this scene wasn't in the manga, they just added fag shit with christian undertones to seem deeper
>>214159231They still fucked, not everything must be explicitly show anon, have some tact. Hell go ask the author about it.
>>214159284I'd say to keep her around he probably had sex with her two to three times but he clearly only used it as manipulation as opposed to wanting to have sex with her
>>214158299Light and L are midwits surrounded by even bigger morons. Simple as.
>>214159346L is actually smartLight is definitely not as smart as he thinks he is though
>>214159222is there light/L r34?
>>214159339There is no more powerful manipulation thing to do to a woman that fucking her.
>>214158299He was an egotistical teenager who needed to show off how smart and special he was. It was completely in character for Light to do something like this.
>>214158420>>214159028he definitely plapped the chick who died with mello
he could've just made women have sex with him in the notebook before dying, pretty silly thing to overlook desu
I rewatched this last year after nearly 15 years. It was kino, lads.
best place to download ebooks for this to read on a kindle?
>>214159346Only you are smart. Some would question why someone smart would sit in his mother's basement, neglect to shower and spend his days posting on 4chan all day, but those some are dumb, not smart like you.
>>214159030he was the top of his class and and went to a top uni. they were even flexing him among his peers
>>214159819>Only you are smart. Some would question why someone smart would sit in his mother's basement, neglect to shower and spend his days posting on 4chan all day, but those some are dumb, not smart like you.Light and L lost. Near won. Cope.
>no collateral damageBook is worthless imo. Based on the rules you couldn't say, kill a pilot mid flight, right? Just take it back at that point. Iirc you couldn't even kill someone and have them hand over their fortune before dying because it would be too far outside their normal behavior.
>>214158299This is a nice of revealing Light's weakness if you try to ignore how convoluted setting up this trap is. A less egotistical Light would have picked up on the signs that this was a setup and try to draw less attention to himself. On the other hand, it sounds like investigation team's plan hinged on Kira reacting impulsively to the broadcast. What if Kira needed a couple days to think about killing him? Afterall, his victims have been criminals so murdering an investigator should take some time to consider. What would happen if the day he acted on the murder would happen to be the day this announcement was being broadcasted in a different country? I'm sure Light would have been really smug to find out that L was being misled almost immediately.
>>214158839not to mention Light had to cheat to even beat L by using Shinigami eyes
>>214159028>prime misa pussyBros I'm ngl I thought this anime was vastly overrated in terms of the actual plot (see >>214159022) but what really turned me off was Misa. Maybe the most annoying character to me in any fiction I have ever consumed. I swear I'm straight, I'm even 30yo khhv and obsessed with irl goth women, and Misa was so annoying to me I had to skip all her scenes.
>>214158299This was a retarded plan, there are plenty of other plausible explanations you can come up with before just assuming the guy can kill remotely from anywhere anytime. This would be like if your browser 404d and automatically assumed rats chewed through your cables and your first diagnostic step is to hire exterminators
>>214158299Someone update with snood pls
>>214158387The point is that his ego is what sunk him.He didn't just want to kill people. He wanted the public to know he was killing people, and still get away with it anyway.
Why didn’t he have some fun with penbars wife
>>214158730Is been a while but i remember that by season 2 he was already doing that.His plan was: the first one to go were the most violent criminals who got heart attacks and violent deaths, then he would move on to killing people with less serious crimes and then he would move on to shitty people but he would kill with things that could pass as natural causes.Like they talk about how there was no war by season 2 and all the governments are scared of him, probably because Kira killed all the shitty leaders in the world.
Why didn't Light write all the task force and SPK names he knew in preparation for the final showdown with Near?It was already established with the way Light killed the FBI agents that the Death Note can be used conditionally (i.e. FBI agents die after receiving the email file) not just based on time.Light wrote that the bus jacker would die after seeing Ryuk.In both cases, Light did not have an exact time written for the death since he could not have known the time it would take to convince Ray to give him his FBI ID (for the busjacking) or to threaten Ray into writing the name of his superior (for killing the FBI agents).Light could have written a conditional note such as "all these people die when they hear the phrase 'I am Kira'". That way, even if Mikami failed, Light still had a way of killing everyone except Near. At this point, Light could have just asked Mikami to bring a gun and/or Light could have stolen a gun from the fallen task force members and finished Near off."[insert all task force and SPK member names here] attend the meeting at the warehouse showing no outwards signs of being controlled. They hear the phrase 'I am Kira', toss their weapons in the direction of the speaker and die of a heart attack."Am I missing something here or would this have been an easy way for Light to ensure his victory even if Mikami failed?
>>214161453Do people just type up essays on save them for death note threads? wtf is wrong with you augusts
>>214161453I don't want to get into for the 1000th time this but the most popular, (author supporting )theory is that Near killed Kira with the death note.Matsuda at least seems to think so in the epilogue
>>214159098how do you think that would work exactly in terms of the technology?
>>214160103you could kill a pilot mid flight, things would just work out such that everyone else on the flight would survive. The limits of this aren't really explored though
>>214158299the author needed a way for L to quickly hone in on Light so they could have their autistic cat-and-mouse dynamic where L wants to catch Light with hard evidence but wouldn't simply shoot him
>>214158387>cancerThe Death Note kills them immediately when their name is written down. In the series we see it’s all immediate deaths that bend probability(like person leaves the house in 5 minutes and is struck by a speeding car) it can’t rewrite DNA
>>214158299>not writing good fortune events for yourself sown between the death>Mr Hashimoto will commit die by cancer on X day of X year before realizing that should inherit is vast wealth and daughtersLight was such a noob
Was light gay or what
>Misa does the Shinigami deal, halving her life>She does it AGAIN>Dies the same day as Light. What are the odds of that happening. She lacked the freewill to do that.
>>214158299L could predict that someone used supernatiral means to kill people and pinpoint the specificity down to a name and a face.Sorry, but that's a smart character written by a dumb writer.
>>214162158What is wrong in his reasoning?Elaborate now faggot
Why don't people legally change their names to several pages/books of random characters that would be impossible to write down in death note correctly?
>>214161845Narcisist
>>214161773It basically controls destiny until the victim's death. You can list anything that is reasonable. Just add >X gets fast growing ass cancer And then finish it with a cancer related death. Organ failure, heart attack whatever
>>214158299A good cope that explains this is when you separate the intent of the author from what the author actually made.The mangaka isn't very smart. His idea of making Light smart is ''dude, this is like the best student in Japan, see how smart he is because he gets perfect grades!'' This is supposed to paint Light as a genius, but if you look past the intent you see that the mangaka and Light are making the same mistake and think someone is smart just because they do their homework.Light has an over-inflated ego because he studies a lot and thinks he is a genius because he can do math and name the capitals of countries.The mangaka wrote a midwit character who is convinced he is the smartest man in the world. Once Light graduated from school he was left with no outlet to show off how smart he is. He would just sit around doing nothing. Instead of going to school and showing off with perfect grades he would sit at home with his girlfriend and wait for his goons to do work for him, both the police goons and the Kira worshipper goons.This is not a smart character.The author didn't mean to write it that way, but that's how it ended up.
Can Light do something like>Blabla goes to place X, sees a person with a red shirt and 20 hot women that are queued for sucking his dick. And then goes home and diesAnd then Light goes to place X wearing a red shirt and waiting for his cock to be sucked?
>>214158299this is why i prefer the j-drama version in which Light is canonically a dropout moron
>>214158299>dumb person's idea of what an intelligent person is like does something stupidpika pika motherfucker
>>214161086>khhvNo surprise
>>214163006I think the writing is smart, there are just certain contrivances made to set the foundation for the story to be able to happen at all. The author wanted a thriller where a detective is chasing a supernatural serial killer and has to be able to close in on him but lacks any proof to put him away.
>>214163343Well I'm trying to be transparent anon. It honestly baffles me that so many people like Misa.
>>214158387Goddamn so many shitty takes on this site from people who don't even watch the shit they're criticizing.
>>214158299It's the anime equivalent of BBC's Sherlock. So what's the anime equivalent of No Country for Old Men?
>>214163379It just explains everything.
>>214163425Well, would you please enlighten me then?
reminder that trump canonically possesses the death note
Did Light really never kill a single politician or billionaire?
>>214161615just tap into the antenna line and feed an alternative signal into it
>>214164002light wouldnt touch the chosen race
>>214158669Light is incredibly smart (a midwit would be caught byr L's cameras and wiretaps), but is not wise (he proceeds to gloat to L about how much smarter he is than him in the tv scene during the same camera episode, which only proves to L that Light is Kira).
>>214160492>On the other hand, it sounds like investigation team's plan hinged on Kira reacting impulsively to the broadcast.They were profiling him. You just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks at the point. Not only it revealed where he was located, it showed he acted on impulse.
>>214158299Kira is smart but he's also a narcissist with an ego the size of the sun. That's the whole point of his character.
>>214159163>Does even the average student?Yes. You were never "smart but lazy." Truth is you've always been dumber than what your parents told you despite the school saying you were gifted.
>>214158299Go back to /a/
>>214158387ryuk asked him about that and light said he was intentionally doing it>i want the world to knownot hard to believe that a kid like him would have a bloated ego
>>214158537did he really think human beings would change, or just that people would hide their evil? surely he didnt think in his one lifetime he would see humanity itself get evil and cruelty rooted out of it because he killed a bunch of people? light is kind of a retard actually>>214158730japan is ten times more pozzed than the USthey are not yet evolved enough as a nation to see corporations in a bad lightto them getting a good job at a known name company is the height of existence
>>214158299He had a literally untraceable killing method. All he had to do was just keep doing what he was doing and ignore the police investigation. Nobody would have known.
>>214158387That's the point, retard
>>214163118DN cannot be used to influence anyone other than the people whose names are written in it. In your example, the person would arrive at X, see Light without bitches and die of a heart attack.
>>214158299One thing that's underdiscussed about Death Note is how most of the names, or at least all the westerner names, are intentionally not quite right. Like this image.
>>214158730He's Japanese, which means he's retarded by his shitty culture. Corrupt politicians aren't criminals according to Japanese culture
>>214158777Kek
>"Light should've gone after politicicans, heh">"Batman should go after politicians, heh"I'm very smart, heh
>>214159057This death is the worst in the series because it breaks the rules of the Death Note and makes. Light look retarded at the same time
>>214159231It's actually very explicit in the first scene of the investigation meeting in their shared apartment after the time skip
>>214164911Huh? Are you retarded?
>>214164911breaks how?
>>214161453No, you're absolutely right except he didn't have any death note pages by that point
>>214161537>Near has Matsuda kill Light because of how embarrassing that would be I like this theory
>>214162070Misa was supposed to be murdered by a stalker before the series started when Gelus saved her life
>>214158299Then after this, he narrowed it down by killing people on a high schooler's schedule.Then after that, he narrowed it down by overtly using police information, which narrowed down the suspect to being a police officer's family member.It took three separate 50 IQ plays from Light to put L on an equal playing ground. That is why it is hard to take the, "two geniuses playing chess against each other" vibe very seriously. It took too much contrivance to reach that point.
HEY LIGHT, I TURNED MYSELF INTO AN APPLE, I'M APPLE RYUK
>>214164984>>214165007She wouldn't have killed herself. It would have been way better if he had attempted that and she instead dropped dead in front of the police department and AfroBro. There'd be less of a reason for the team to ignore everything L was saying about Light because the sheer coincidence of the encounter could be a plot point instead of lazy writing
>>214165274Honestly, Death Note is way overrated.
>>214165295Naomi was originally suppose to join the task force but then Ohba realized having two genius detectives on light's ass would complicate the story hence the contrived death
>>214165274You completely missed that Light invited that challenge, he allowed himself to be found because he wanted to find L. He felt humiliated by the TV bamboozle and vowed to kill L no matter what.
>>214165274>50 IQ>contrivancesanother midwit acting with 20/20 hindsight about "what they'd do instead". people like you are the worst
>>214165328It's Naruto
>ALEC BALDWIN IS A COLD BLOODED MURDER. I CAN'T FORGIVE HIM FOR WHAT HE'S DONE
>>214165363And then he introduced Misa Amane and everything went to shit. Brilliant writing. They should have just made it Ray Pembers loli daughter or something if the editors insisted. Light has to wrestle with the idea of killing a child
I was really disappointed that Higuchi didn't fuck Misa in that car
Light should have been a cute evil girl
>>214165512Oh wait, yup, he never had a chance
>>214165367If Light is portrayed as a genius, then three quick succession 50 IQ plays is a contrivance. If he is supposed to be "inviting a challenge", then he is outright a 50 IQ individual rather than the genius he is portrayed as. There is a difference between making yourself known to everyone by using heart attacks to kill people 99% of the time, and letting the lead detective intentionally know you are a high schooler in the Tokyo region who is a family member to the detective team.
>>214158299>>214158387You can be smart in some ways and still be stupid in others. Just because you're good at answering test questions doesn't mean you know how to handle other parts of life. He had an extremely low social IQ, it was all but guaranteed he would get caught even without L.
>>214159028Incorrect. Light has canonically never even seen Misa's pussy
>>214163418>So what's the anime equivalent of No Country for Old Men?Monster
>>214165274>Then after this, he narrowed it down by killing people on a high schooler's scheduleI never bought this assumption that it was someone going to a public high school just because of the timing of the killings. Any number of other explanations could be had. It could have been someone from america going to night school. It could have been someone from europe who just picked that time because he liked writing in the morning. It could have just been any random japanese person who picked that time for any reason. I don't buy how you just zero in on a student with nothing else to help connect it. It's just a bullshit leap of logic to get the plot started.
>>214166740>It could have been someone from america going to night schoolIdiot. These are the "geniuses" criticizing the writing for having contrivances.
>>214166898I see you couldn't refute my point, your concession has been accepted.
>>214166925Doubling down only makes you even dumber.
>>214166939You've already lost, embarrassing yourself further isn't recommended. But it is childish behavior so I guess in a way you are doing a good larp as Light.
>>214158387>he wouldn't have made Kira an obvious thing to begin withIt wasn't at first until right then.
>>214158299L was my hero as a child, I wanted to GROW up to be like him. My first son is name El after him
>>214166740the time of day thing didn’t actually narrow it down for L, the access to police information did He had a guess it would be a student but was obviously ready to hear other evidence, but most of the killings were already Japanese criminals
Just remembered the finale when Light hid a slip of the Death Note in his watch and thought he could write a name down faster than someone could shoot him with a gun
Fun fact but another anime called Death Parade shows us Lights final fate.
>>214159028light is canonically gayread his last name backwards you retardthats why he loses
>>214164411Is "Kira" Engrish for killer?
>>214166259I don't think Light was intended to be homosexual but it's funny how all his attempts at heterosexuality seem incredibly forced.
>>214159057>they find your semen in her mouth during autopsy>your DNA is now strangely linked to her>best case scenario is if they believe your dick was so disgusting she fucking killed herselfidk I wouldn't
>>214159057The OVA for this is long overdue
>>214164803Light was able to kill people in "traffic accidents" like the first bullies
>>214158299Shounen is aimed at 10-15 year olds.The manga has all the kanji spelled out phonetically because the audience is too young to know how to read it.
>>214159028yes but before that he was dating that girl with short hair at his school
>>214161453Why didn't Mikami just bring a machine gun and shoot everyone while Near was explaining his plan?
>>214168476Sure you can kill anyone in a traffic accident provided there's traffic. If you wrote "nigger faggotson dies in a traffic accident while lying on his bed" the note wouldn't randomly teleport a truck into the victim's room. The circumstance of death has to be feasible.
>>214165295Light has managed to get criminals to kill themselves before, one of the rules shown in the transitions states something like "It's thought that all humans have the power to commit suicide". Naomi herself said that she had nothing left to lose at that point and her grievance over Pember's death would be enough to tip her over the edge
>>214164411>>214158839Light was just good at school, he is the midwit supreme, it's quite literally impossible to get caught when you can remotely kill anyone even if you were limited to a heart attack (he wasn't), meanwhile L was a true genius, good at everything and was the first, second and third best detective in the world and nobody even knew his 2 other aliases were him.
>>214168483Lies
>>214168614>and nobody even knew his 2 other aliases were him.kek
He crossed the high IQ line where he became convinced nobody was smart enough to catch him.
>>214168582The traffic accidents do not happen on their own. The death note makes the driver somehow be there at exact that time speeding at a crossroads and not checking if anyone is crossing at that moment. Clearly it can control more than the victim here
That manga short where some zoomer almost outsmarts Death was kino. Better than the main series.
>>214158299Reminder that the composer for the anime got sent to prison for owning a gram of weed, while the author of Rurouni Kenshin got caught with CP and got a slap on the wrist.
>>214168936CP is much more tolerated in Japan. Laws against it were only created recently because of Western pressure.
>>214169221Thanks USAID
>>214169221Why are all japs pedos
>>214161666That implies Light's universe is simulated if events can't deviate too much outside the norm.
the whole Light and Kira thing is just like Dexter but shitty and boring anime garbage
>>214169320Except Death Note is good and Dexter is legit ass cancer.
>>214166235You must be smart in some other ways because this is a stupid post
>>214168936>author of Rurouni Kenshin got caught with CP and got a slap on the wrist.funniest thing is it wasn't even a small amount, dude had HUNDREDS of dvds and his fine was only like 2 grand.
>>214168614>meanwhile L was a true genius, good at everything and was the first, second and third best detective in the world and nobody even knew his 2 other aliases were himYet he still got schooled by Light, some genius he turned out to be.
Light was in the top .1% of intelligence but L was in the top .0001%
>>214169681Are you retarded
>>214169717So what if I am? What are you gonna do about it huh? You gonna cry? Yeah that's what I thought you big baby, you big cry baby, you big cry baby poopy pants.
>>214169734Now you've fucking done it."Anonymous, bleeds to death after fisting his own asshole so hard it tears his entire taint in half"
>>214169734I want you to know I didn't make this post >>214169868. It's gross and I don't like when people butt in on conversations. Just because we're all anonymous here doesn't mean it's okay to do that.I still think you're retarded thoughbeit
>>214169681Light had a massive advantage and only won by having a literal death god kill L for him. If Rem hadn’t done that it was over for Light despite every advantage he had
>>214160056What did he win?
>>214158777>ChatGPTOh my heckin fellow redditor!
Why are there constant Death Note threads on /tv/ that are just about what Light should have done? It's never even discussing the show in general, it's always just "Light was dumb for doing X." I think there's just one schitzo who is obsessed with this one thing and spams the board with it relentlessly. This thread is a bit different - usually he says something like "have magic notebook that can kill anyone... still lose." I wonder why he's so into this topic? I'm a weeb and I love Death Note but damn this shit came out like 20 years ago it's such a weird thing to fixate on. There's like 10 niggas like this on /tv/ who just have one random thing they spam 24/7, not just Death Note guy.
>>214169938And L had a massive database, unlimited funds and an army of cronies.
>>214170049Yeah I've noticed it for a long time as well. It doesn't bother me, death note is a great show
>>214169938L is a retard who was smart enough to see above the wall that normalfags build for themselves but wasn't willing to do what it took to stop a mass murdering psychopath. He knew light was the killer, he just have just pulled out a gun and shot him in the face. They could find the evidence afterwards. No court would convict him but he let some faggot lawfag rules made to keep normalfags in check dictate his life and that's why he lost.
>>214161453He didn't know the true names of Near's people. That's why he needed Mikami there as Mikami had the eyes.
>>214170453He knew 2 of them, the blonde Aryan chick and the emo guy who was following Mikami.
>>214170339Nigga L doesnt care about morality he just likes the game. He made a sacrifice play with a guy in OP and was prepared to make a dozen other sacrifices just to find out what region of Japan Kira lives in
>>214170339L NEEDED to know how the hell Light was doing it in case someone else appeared doing it tooHe knew it was Light the moment they met, he was just too much of a perfectionistThey both lost due to HubrisLight by taking the bait and setting the chain of events leading to his deathL by refusing to compromise
>>214170339L didn’t care about saving the world, just about catching criminals with hard evidence. Shooting Light would be losing to L. L wanted to “win”, this was clearly stated
>>214165328It's a great manga but after overanalyzing every mistake the author made, of course it loses some charm.
>>214167337yes
>>214170819Light lost the moment he picked up the Death Note. He was bound to the contract he made with Ryuk. He need to entertain Ryuk or else he would die.
>>214161666could you make a pilot fly into the WTC?
>>214172314Only if it wouldn’t make anyone else die, like clipping the very top of the building
>>214170049That's not the issue, those are mentally unstable people so you'd expect this.The issue is that the same people over and over again reply to this thread while letting unique threads, actual movie discussions and so on die.Is like people here are condition to rush towards vomit and lick it whole each time the dog pukes and the dog is really sick.
>>214172506Uh oh looks like a capeshitter is mad his latest bing bing wahoo movie didn't make a billy a the box office. Better luck next time champ.
>>214172564Everyone stop what you're doing and pay attention to this paranoid schizophrenic.
>>214169938>Light had a massive advantage and only won bywhy are you pretending like they are real people. L was a disgusting mary sure authors pet.>orphan>made billions from investments>caught 10000 criminals in 10 years>all governments cooperate with him and give him their resources to command>gets a massive asspull boon from the writer in the literal first episode of the showIMAGINE reading this and saying "l-light is actually stupid L is so much smarter"L is one of the worst written characters in all of media, not just anime.
>>214172138You can give up ownership of the Death Note at any time and hand it to someone else.Sure Ryuk probably would've written the name of someone who did such a lame thing, but it's hardly a contract.
>>214172593he's the batman of this transexual genre
>>214158299bad writing?
>>214172593None of those factors mean it’s easy to track down a supernatural murder weapon like the note
>>214172138What was Ryuk up to for the second half of the series? He disappeared
>>214160103Why didn't L just fly a plane 24/7 and became invincible to the death note
>>214173397Why didn't L just plant a bomb in a populated area and rig it so it'll explode if his heart stops beating?
Why didn't Light just have some random nutjob kill everyone in the investigation? As soon as he discovered the location of the HQ he could have just had someone McVeigh the building
>>214173475>ok Light its time to go to the warehouse for the explicit reason of your meeting with near>despite the formal reason for this meeting being us sharing info on the kira case, Near has made it clear to us that he suspects you and aims to prove it >oh yeah...uh I can't make it. You guys go without me
>>214173475Because everyone was using fake names???Nigga how are you even watching this shit
What are some other good shows like DN bros
>>214173475>Why didn't Light just have some random nutjob kill everyone in the investigation?Might as well tattoo "I'm Kira" to his forehead while he's at it.
>>214173392Most likely killing other people for fun. He had his own death note.
>>214163754He didn't take it dumbass. The new rule scared him off.
>>214158299>200 IQ genius>eats potato chips once and never again, and only at the precise moment where he was being watched like a hawk to make sure he couldnt kill anyone as kiraObvious ploy
>>214164811>Bobson DugnuttReminds me of the lame fake Russian attempts at playing themselves off as Americans on /k/ a few years back>Howdy Rowdeo partner, Michalnthony McSmithsons here from Louisyana oblast!
>>214173753There aren't any, that's why this one gets endlessly talked about. It's unique and special.
>>214174647They are still seething about getting kicked off of /k/. It's hilarious
>>214169662From what I remember the cops initially thought he was a distributor from how much he had
Really wish the author would have made a sequel about a Death Note wielder who actually went after powerful people.That's the most interesting angle of the note that makes it a wish fulfillment fantasy, not killing already prosecuted criminals.The one dude who killed suicidal people and the other who tried to sell the note for money were lame.
>>214173722>John Nutjob will die after entering the Kira Investigation HQ and shooting all task members apart from LightNow what
>>214174544This wasn't emphasized at all in the show and I've never seen anyone say this in discussion forums, but his sister really fucked him over with that comment "you NEVER eat potato chips!" To someone like L, multiple alarm bells would be firing off in his head at that moment>>214175281don't know if you're being sarcastic but yes
>>214173753uhh, code geass, monster, eden of the east
>>214175491John Nutjob dies of a heart attack either immediately after writing or at the specified time of death (not sure which)You can't use the death note to cause the death of other people.Light would also die of a heart attack if he wrote his full name even as part of the cause of death for John.
>>214175556so there isn't any
>>214175556None of those shows are like deathnote thoughbiet.
>>214175580pretty much, death not is rather unique>>214175608monster is a cat and mouse show with a serial killer. eden of the east he's trying to make the world better. sure there isn't anything just like death note, but there are shows with similar themes
>>214158299hes not and also if he never found the notebook his fate would be the samehe would have become a detective for the police and eventually start killing people and then get sloppy, probably get found out by his father, kill him and trick people that someone else did it and die in the exact place in that warehouse in the end running from the cops after they eventually find out.he was always a killerthe book just let him do it sooner and kill more.
>teenager is retardedmore at eleven
>>214158299Light sacrificed a small amount of anonymity to gain a massive psychological edge.Light knew people would eventually become aware of his existence.
>>214175718that's an interesting thought but I don't think it's accurate. the death note legitimately does corrupt, or at least it brings out parts of someone that actually would stay otherwise locked away by law and social convention. It's simply too simple to use and too removed from the act. Light genuinely freaks out when he realises the note is real and that he's already killed 2 people with it but even then, his panic is from his own imagination, his own psyche and moral upbringing. He doesn't have their blood actually on his hands. His ego reaches godlike proportions early on as a direct result of the power the note gave him.I think his life would have mirrored Mikami's.
>>214164615I mean the show does validate his idea by saying crime was down 70% from before.
>>214158299How is it fucking obvious? Nobody has ever done such a thing before. He is stupid for choosing to kill that person on a whim, but the idea that tptb are clever enough to do something targeted like this is laughable.
>>214158768You know they cover that up, right? "Died peacefully at their home" is common in obituaries. They aren't telling the proles how embarrassingly someone important died.
>>214175491You can't make someone kill other peoples (unless accident but you don't choose the guy who will run over your target if you write traffic accident)Also the target will day in 21 days max, can't write "and then he died at 290 years, after becoming the emperor of univers"
>>214175448There's an unwritten rule to not create any fiction that has this theme. It would be considered sedition.
>>214158537>The point wasn't just the killing, it was so that people would know someone was passing down righteous judgement. Yes that is the point dude, this is a plan of a low iq moron no one with a iq above 100 would ever be that stupid.. keep up
Light's trope is "teenager with Godlike powers", L is supposed to represent pure intelligenceLight had to be smart for it to make sense, but he was never presented as the smartest, and people don't treat him that way
>>214176234Biggest midwit post in this thread
>>214169320dexter is much worse and smooth brain tier than death note
>>214176273>hurr i am a moron and think making up the kira persona is smarter instead of not doing that obvious backfiring bullshityou are a low iq
>>214176338Lmao retard
>>214176234It's the plan of someone with higher minded ideals.
>>214173753Code Geass if you want the same fun yet stupid ride
Reminder that Ls entire Lind L Taylor plan was retarded and hinged entirely on Kira/Light seeing the first broadcast>Claims that his plan was to broadcast the news segment in different regions of Japan until Kira took the bait>Completely ignores that this giant spectacle of THE WORLDS MOST FAMOUS ANONYMOUS DETECTIVE REVEALING HIS IDENTITY would have people taking pictures of the broadcast and or recording it and reposting it onlineIf Light was just taking a shit, missed the broadcast, and then saw it online a few days later after it had already been broadcast in another region, there would be no way to track him down. If Light didn't see the broadcast immediately the plan would have failed, it was mostly based on luck rather than a calculated plan
>>214161453The entire thing with Near and Mikami was fucking retarded. Especially the one random dude perfectly copying the entirety of the death note by hand>Hey Mikami, this whole plan with the fake notebook, just in case, keep a page of the real notebook with you at all times. Put it in a plastic baggie and tape it to your leg or something>Then on the day of the plan, take this page out in the morning and test it just in case. Pick a criminal you can easily monitor and write that they stop what they're doing and go kill themselves and won't be discovered for days>This way we can confirm the page is real without alerting Near and the othersThe plan with swapping the notebooks was fucking stupid. Light has always used the torn piece of a page as his ace up his sleeve. The answer was right there but he fucked it all up
>tranimeGrow up.
I always had an idea that I thought would be a better, bittersweet ending>Everything plays out the same up until the reveal that Near swapped the real books and can see Ryuk>Light is getting desperate, sees that he's backed into a corner>Starts giving a speech about how he did all of this to change the world>That he's made the world a better place, a safer place>He then looks to Ryuk and says it's a more entertaining place>The others don't understand, but Ryuk is locked in staring at Light>Lights speech gets more desperate, talking about how before him, Ryuk was bored rotting away in his own world, and that's gonna happen again if he gets arrested/killed>Outright tells Ryuk that he knows he doesn't love him, so he can kill everyone there and save Light without dying>Finally the others catch on, even draw their guns>Ryuk just begins laughing and furiously writing down names, maybe even body blocks so if the others open fire, they can't see Light and can't land a fatal shot, maybe wing him in the arm like Matsuda did originally>They don't have enough time to do anything, and everyone starts dropping like flies>Except Near. Ryuk has stopped writing, and Light and Near are the only ones left alive>Tells Light that it's no fun if he does all the work>We get to see smug shit faced little Near get choked to death by Light, who after killing untold numbers of people, finally has to get his own hands dirty>Light wins, but he has to live with the fact of knowing he was outsmarted and outplayed, only saved because Ryuk wants to keep watching him killWhat do you guys think? I think it would have been way better than the way Near won
>>214176150You could just make them post it on youtube right like will smith does>Ahah TODAY we be pooping LIVE, shoutout to my son jaden>AHAHA THAT'S HOT THAT'S H-AIEEEEEEEEEEE
>>214159057you should've read a better story
>>214177569bro you're not smart enough to be calling out plot holes, just so you know. not even saying this to be mean, just legitimately trying to save you some aggravation in the future.
>>214176117This, it's only "obvious" because L explained his audacious plan in autistic detail afterward and your ego won't allow you to identify as the one getting btfo for not knowing things. What's actually happening is series like Death Note make the audience feel clever, causing some idiots to believe they really are too intelligent to it.
>>214175924Not to mention he loses his memories and reverts into a moralfag of the utmost degree, and the series continually says the DN is the real evil. People who think Light was always a psychopath probably secretly believe they wouldn't be affected by it, they'd "do it right", which is the exact fucking delusion Light harbored.
>>214177885Ow the edge
>>214177569Kira fits the serial killer MO. Serial killers tend to be attention-seeking. L knew Kira wouldn't miss the news even if it means holding in his shit.
>>214178336In the real world, the fact that not everyone who acquires power turns into a genocidal maniac disproves the general rule that power corrupts. The author has a naive understanding of the world.
>>214168483Japanese language fucking sucks ass.t. on the JR rn
>>214162732One of the Death Note rules specifies the legality of your name is irrelevant, so changing your name wouldn't make a difference
>>214179083>the fact that not everyone who acquires power turns into a genocidal maniac disproves the general rule that power corruptsNot everyone has absolute power, yet even a smidgen of power can make people behave like pricks if they think they can get away with it.
>>214167060>but most of the killings were already Japanese criminalsAnd a lot of them an average person would have absolutely no idea of unless they had an access to a database of criminals with all of their private information and photos. This alone was Light's death sentence.
>>214179289What if you don't have a name?
Should I read or watch Death Note? I've been aware of it for like 20 fucking years but never even touched it and I'm looking for something to consoom after I finish the latest Monogatari series.
The final episode is really depressing. It would have been impossible to have made it more depressing. It was at the max.
>>214179492Manga shows the real ending.
>>214165295You can always make someone kill themself, as long as it's physically possible, it's one of the rules
>>214179478That's one of the plotholes that always bothered me, like what happens with a feral kid that was raised by wolves and never had any contact with the human world? Would that make him inmortal?
>>214158669The trope about high IQs being haughty and arrogant is true.
What if Light didn't take the bait? You have a problem from Ls perspective thenDoes it mean he didn't take the bait, or does it mean he lives in a different region? How do you ever determine this accurately if Light never makes a move?
>>214179488The second half gets boring quickly. The 2006 Japanese live-action version is generally cheesy and cheesy, but has a better ending.
>>214179289Then what name does it actually use? If a tranny updates his name, do you need to write down his new name?If so I will identify as a new name each day (but my old name will remain as a nickname)
>>214179793Should have been the real ending really. I bet the author liked the popularity and the money and introduced a plot past L
>>214166968Retard L already established that Light was living in Japan since the first unexplained heart attack death was in Japan, on a televised hostage situation that was only seen in Japan. That's why L made the trap there, he knew that Kira was someone that saw that broadcast live, and he could only be Japanese. Then he found out his schedule since it coincided with an average Japanese students schedule.
>>214179488Watch the first half of Death Note (you'll know when to stop), then watch the original japanese live action which features a superior alternative ending
The reason he lost was that he didn't open 2chan to check the reaction of Japanese anons.
>>214158299Worse part is using his dad's police computer, killing the FBI agent who was investigating like two families, then doubling down on it by having the FBI agent's wife go missing. Guy went from someone in Japan with a fixed schedule to someone in Yagami/chief of police household, so what 6-7 people.
>>214179611In my head canon, the shinigami are aliens or beings from another dimension that consume souls of sentient beings for sustenance. They happened to arrive at Earth after humanity had invented writing. In to keep their food source sustainable, they devised a way to allocate the souls through a system of rules written in a notebook that is bound to its owner. The notebooks are actually extremely advanced high tech devices and nothing magical. People with no names are freed to be consumed without restriction.
>>214173287it's exactly as easy as the fucking writer says it should be for the plot to go the way he wants. they're not real people jesus christ
>>214178336Fuck I didn't even think about that when writing my post. We have actual proof of what Light would be like without the Death Note kek.
>>214179976So how do you explain with heckin science how the notebooks have infinite pages in them
>>214180071New pages are teleported into the notebook.
What happens if you write down that Emma Watson would personally apologize publicly then suck my dick, then die in a car crash?>>214179817It's your given name
>guy is obviously named RAITO, a normal japanese name>foreign adaptations inexplicably name him LIGHT, a name no one anywhere outside of a ghetto or a hippie family has
>>214180051>>214178336Light is not a psychopath. He's extremely emotional and neurotic and obsessed with getting his way. Light is what happens if you give a libtard unchecked power, they will immediately terrorize the world "for the greater good"
>>214180102>teleportationOk so we're back in fantasy
>>214180124If you write your name as the one who will get his dick sucked, you die of a heart attack and, since the command became impossible, she has a heart attack tooAssuming you somehow dodge that, if it's impossible for her to make it to where you are before the note's maximum time period, she has a heart attack too
>>214180144Neither of us said anything about him being a psychopath, we were actually both saying he is not one in response to an anon's post. As far as your political slop opinions no one cares. Release the epstein files
>>214180170Teleportation is common in scifi genre.
>>214180144Libtards oppose capital punishment. Light is more of a conservatard.
>>214180170Did you miss the part in manga where death angels walk among humanity and note books that can kill humans?
>>214180227I mean his name is Right-o while L(eft) is the good guy. Could not be more obvious I am surprised netflix adaptation didn't name him Right
>>214180293Did you miss reading class
>>214179611People still die of natural deaths, meaning any type of death without the envolvement of shinigami. The Death Note just kills people before that. If someone with shinigami eyes looks at the time someone has left and writes a date after that in the Death Note the natural death still occurs.
Hubris makes your IQ drop by 100 points
>>214180319>L is also a faggot and "on spectrum"Holy shit someone call Netflix for a remake
>>214177885I half like this. It fails because Ryuk would definitely find it funnier to watch Light squirm than bail him out. And also because the show has to end with Light losing.I think the funnier way to fix it would be to have Ryuk unexpectedly save Light at the end from their bullets, pretending that he has a soft spot for him. But then the reveal that Ryuk actually just delayed Light's death so that he would die in a more humiliating way.
>>214158299Reminder that the moral of rhe entire series is that only the globohomo government is allowed to punish criminals
>>214158387>all the angry replies actually prove his point
>>214180102I thought shinigami gives you a new notebook or something
>>214169320Dexter would have figured out who kira is and kill him and kira wouldn't kill him because his real name is not dexter morgan but MoserLol
>>214167290>thgil???
>>214161773A majority of his kills ARE spontaneous heart attacks so there's no reason to assume the Death Note couldn't cause someone to rapidly metastize cancer
>>214158299It was a different time.
>>214158387Jesus, I swear some of you don't even pay attention to shows you watch. The whole point was to create a fear of a God that is punishing criminals so people would police themselves. Kira didn't have time to be writing down the names of every single one of the millions of criminals in the world.

>>214179083>the fact that not everyone who acquires power turns into a genocidal maniacLight wasn't a genocidal maniac though, he killed killers, people who should be dead anyways. It's only our twisted modern society that thinks it's a good thing to feed, clothe and give shelter and ps2's to true psychopaths until they die comfy of old age surrounded by their peers.
>>214169662Watsuki got a pass due to legal loopholes (TLDR: the shit he had was in his possesion before it was considered illegal) but Japan is just weird about drugs in general
>>214185539That's not a loophole that's just normal. You can't punish someone for something before it's made a crime.
>>214177569the story was in 2003 you retard
>>214168936good. stoners are degenerates
>>214159103there were definitely some weird homoerotic themes with L
>>214158299Why didn't Light just call the eagles to kill L
>>214159284it would've been too awkward with Ryuk lurking around
>>214158299Media illiteracy is when you don't know why Light was never going to succeed no matter how smart he is
>>214165295the explicitly state that anyone is capable of killing themselves
>>214186453>the*theyfuck this jank keyboard
>>214158299Ohba is a proto-incel and he wrote Light as the average gifted "chad" character who thinks they know best and should be allowed to rule the world because they're a little more talented and smarter than the average man.L is his incel self-insert who has to watch and fairly prove the chad is evil/wrong while chad trounces the world and takes advantage of the incel's poor damaged dream girl.Light is supposed to be fallible and flawed.
>>214161453He could do that, but then all of the agents would die exactly 23 days after Light wrote their name into the Death Note. This would create a hard time limit. Also who knows what weird new rule would be "created", if Light constantly did this. Like apparantely you don't get your memory back, once you traded & regained your Death Note 6 times in total. That's a really bizarre rule and I only learned when I looked up the rules in the wiki. So Light might unintentionally fuck himself massively over by doing something like this. Maybe it will turn out okay, but maybe not. It's the author's choice.>>214161845Using the Death Note turned him into a Psychopath. He wouldn't treat Misa like that, if he just became a normal detective, which he basically turned into once he lost the memory of the Death Note.>>214168774All Humans are considered to be capable of suicide. So suicide is a reasonable method of killing people. By that same logic being near a road also makes you reasonably prone to a random traffic accident. You wouldn't be able to do the same thing, if the victim was inside a bunker for a month. >>214181999Dexter Morgan is his legal name. Of course it would work. You are thinking of this too autistically. The point of the Death Note is to make the Death Note owner have to do detective work and NOT solve unsolvable philosophical questions whether your birth name or your adoptive name is your real name.
Warwick Davis
>>214186571Then just change your legal name to the entire plot of bee movie so you are safe
>>214186571The original point of the traffic accident part is how death note is able to control people other than the victim, in this case the driver.
im writing a death note esque book, maybe you guys will read it in 14 years
>>214186075We've been over this. They would've been corrupted by the death note
>>214186670nah you don't get to punt him across the room if you do that
>>214164615>people would hide their evilPeople's mindsets changed because they believed an unassailable demigod had come down and shown them that wiping out criminals by the tens of thousands was the morally correct path, and there were cults and communities dedicated to rooting out corrupt people and broadcasting their identities so Kira could take them
>>214182382Can't break physical laws and cancer can only grow at the rate biology allows, starting from zero its minimum a few weeks before they die and the geas can't last that long so you can't set it as a death condition, it would revert to heart attack
