>Political and religious leaders, billionaires, bankers? Nah I'll just kill petty criminals, that will surely bring order to the world.I thought this guy was supposed to be smart?
>>215555930> I thought this guy was supposed to be smart?Light is a midwit’s idea of what smart looks like.
>>215555930he's a smart 17 year old, but more importantly he's a straight-A student and model Japanese citizen. to him, the worst thing you can be is a criminal. killing elites would be unthinkable to him.
death note has blackpilled me on every mangaa good premise that just becomes more and more convolutedjust does not know when to stop
>>215555930Go back to /a/
>>215556206There was no reason for L to die they just wanted to include both possibilities in the story and that’s why L jrs. Exist
>>215555930>I thought this guy was supposed to be smart?He's a teenager you tard
>>215555930How would killing any of those bring order? Every single one would bring extreme chaos. Political leaders? Now you have either anarchic countries where the law of the strongest rule. Religious leaders? Now you have secret cults who tend to become more extremists. Billionaires? Either another guy replace them (and thus become a billionaire), or hundred of thousands of normal people lose their job. Bankers? You would generate thw biggest economic crisis of the century.
>>215555930Why do mass shooters always do the same thing? They take out the weak and helpless instead actual systemic actors and problems. The closest anyone got was that guy that scratched up Nancy Pelo is husband in a skirmish. Anyone that kills is just not intelligent at all face it.
it's shonen, which means it's aimed at teenagers literally
>Go back to /a/
>>215555930>Political and religious leaders, billionaires, bankers?This was my first thought when I watched the show. It's the obvious move if you ACTUALLY want to change anything.
>>215556391You would have to be selective and only kill corrupt ones. Killing all of them would accomplish nothing except forcing them to work anonymously from the shadows.
it's written by a woman. someone thinks about killing Trump in Death Note no Gaiden.but the character of Light is a narcissistic asshole with a god complex. well noticed, OP, it's quite subtle.
>>215556391Yes. It's coming and it is going to be glorious.I don't understand your mentality. You could never have won when your goal was destroying everything.
>>215556493But the writer and the artist are men.
>>215556391if you could get the message out, it could work as a deterrent. >i'll kill anyone with over a billion dollars in assets. one person, at random, every week.a few weeks in, they'd take it seriously. of course they'd shift their money around, but that's kind of the point.
>>215555930>>Political and religious leaders, billionaires, bankers? Nah I'll just kill petty criminals, that will surely bring order to the world.>I thought this guy was supposed to be smart?potato chippu mindset
>>215555930did you even watch the show? There's an entire arc where he killed a corporate big wig
>>215556510no proof Tsugumi Ohba is a man. the picture people sometimes use is of this guy.https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1868465/CG Producer on the (Japanese) live-action Death Note, not the manga author.there isn't a shadow of a doubt in my mind it's written by a woman.
>>215556206Read Usogui. It avoids all the pitfalls you mentioned. It’s long, but it’s worth it and its length is justified since the author really planned pretty much perfectly. If you like death note or manga with mind games, you’ll love it. It has a very well written and satisfying ending too.
>>215556646In Bakuman his stand in is a man and the manga even goes on a tirade about women lacking the will to be true mangaka
>>215556682shigurui too
>>215555930Political and religious leaders, billionaires and bankers are the people holding society together you fucking retard, start killing them and every nation will collapse.
>>215556736Let it, ________ ____ ___
>Political and religious leaders, billionaires, bankers?International forces would send a firing squad all through Japan and kill every man woman and child if they ever knew someone specific did this specific act en masse. It's because he contained himself to Japan that he even survived as long as he did and was treated as a niche joint investigation. His strategy was somewhat the correct one for a ground up movement for revolution, his mistake however was not studying the various revolutionary arms of the world and spreading his killings out via key killings internationally , if armed resistance felt like they had divine support, this would actually topple many authorities without actually having to put kira as a front man for anything and giving a clear target to aim for. (His ego wouldn't allow this though , he wants to be seen as a savior)Browns would EASILY swallow divine intervention, fall in line, and clean house corruption wise and via some hacker tier support, one could enable long distance control of militaries that would force western nations hands / panic as their corporate colonialism begins to dry up and nations stand up for themselves out of fear for Kira. This sets the real chess game in motion for world conquest.
>>215556215>>215556769>Anime website.
>>215556806Go back tranny
>>215556775This. The Patriots would go ballistic if Light ever did such a thing.
>>215556839>tourist slangGo back newfag
>>215556934Go back tranny
>>215556206Give up on shounen, mate. At least move on to seinen.
>>215555930No he's retarded, they make this clear when despite having a magic book that kills people without leaving trace he manages to get caught within 3 episodes.
>Light wins>dies of old age>someone less ambitious eventually possesses the death note>world reverts back to how it was before LightIt was a pointless goal. You're better off just using it to make money or killing people that piss you off.
>>215555930Light doesn't want to exact true justice, he wants to slaughter despicable criminals so he can be worshipped as the god.His goal isn't to destroy order, but to establish a dictatorial political system under KIRA. Late in the show, he almost succeeds, as even the US President cowers before KIRA.
>>215555930In a way he is representative of the Japanese culture. The perfect societal product, a prodigeous stand-up young man with good values and morals, but who completely fits the mold and never tries to question the authorities or people in power. It doesn't even cross his mind.>>215556165Exactly but let's not forget he's 23 by the end of Death Note so there's no excuseBut people need to stop with the bankers are evil trope, it's not 2008 anymore
>>215555930Light being smart is a meme. He's an open criticism of the kind of person Japanese society tries to churn out on an assembly line. He's a hall-monitor that shows what happens when you actually get someone like that hammering every nail they set their sights on, threatening to disassemble the society that made him in the process.
>>215556682>>215556691No I'm not a pedophile. I'm also not a manchild who watches "cartoons" for "adults". Fuck off to reddit.
>>215557047>>dies of old ageas long as Ryuk exists, that was never gonna happen, imagine some shithead demon hovering over your head for 40 years - you'd off yourself by year 5 at the latest if that thing had any malicious intent whatsoever after getting bored of your mundane routine. The series plays him off as this passive entity but that's only cause light is the exact kind of egomaniac that ryuk is hoping for He even laughs when he sees light's lifespan. If some pointdexter picked it up with the intent to do some small good deeds like killing a bully or maybe a local mob boss or something and going quiet for 8 months at a time - you really think Ryuk would even let that brat sleep?
>>215556682Usogui is fun but I don't see the comparison with Death Note, besides "smart people playing each other", in which case Usogui is far more ridiculous than Death Note and probably takes itself less seriously as well
>>215557156>If some pointdexter picked it up with the intent to do some small good deeds like killing a bully or maybe a local mob boss or something and going quiet for 8 months at a time - you really think Ryuk would even let that brat sleep?I'd get a job at an apple orchard just to be safe
>>215555930For being a teenager, his heart was uniornically in the right place. Most teen shitters in his situation would kill chad for fucking stacy, and then kill stacy too because she still rejects him. And then after that, who knows? Just some psycho shit where he kills anyone who makes him seethe, whether purposefully or not.
>>215556489All of them are corrupt though. That doesn't change the fact that they bring the order to our society.
>>215557121>people need to stop with the bankers are evil trope, it's not 2008 anymoreKYS KIKE
>>215557239Corruption is a gradient, and the only reason it's all-encompassing is because the head honchos set it up that way to play at all.
>>215556736>Dont touch my rich peoplePatetic cockroach
>>215555930If light won, whats stopping all the countries in the world from secretly nuking all of Japan?L confirmed he was in Japan after all
Has anyone in Death Note threads ever actually read or watched the series or just hear of the concept?Light didn't want to remove crime, he wanted a constant supply or criminals so people will praise him for keeping them safe. His motivation was his ego the entire time The series was a Psychopath and an Autist playing 4D chess with each other
>>215556442the actual systemic actors and problems are behind security guards and are harder to find (although it can be done, e.g. Luigi)random bystanders are, by definition, much closer to you and thus easier to access for someone who's sick in the head and wants to take it out on society
>>215557237that's because he already was chad of his school - he's giga valedictorian, tennis champ , has girls like Mikasa on his tail
>>215555930>if we get rid of billionaires, politicians and religion, THEN everyone will get along!Do /tv/cels really?
>>215557121>Exactly but let's not forget he's 23 by the end of Death Note so there's no excusehe was in too deep at that pointyou don't exactly become introspective if you've been a mass murderer for 5 years and have avoided getting caughtif anything his MO would change to target even pettier and pettier criminals since his real motivation was never really about improving the world but punishing those whom he thought were "wicked." he even says as much in episode 2 IIRC where he plans to kill off not just criminals but also those who are simply lazy (through disease and accidents).
>>215557472Are you suggesting people on this app actually watch tv?Where do you think you are?
>>215556035youre a midwit
>>215557595Blue /pol/?
>>215555930does Japan even have a communist problem? I can't imagine how different Death Note would be today if it fell into the hands of a modern day leftist
>>215556442because only stupid people commit murder like that
>>215557682>only stupid people commit murderfify
>>215557678they almost did
>>215556442Because mass shooters aren't a natural phenomena nor a natural response on lashing out society, 100% of the times they are groomed and instructed by glowniggers.
>>215555930Unwritten rule to not make the elite the bad guys.
>>215557156the note is still his to give. he can just take it away at any time and just find someone else to use it.
>>215555930He's smart, but not wise. He got the note in high school so of course he doesn't have a very nuanced understanding of the world yet and getting godlike power basically gave him arrested development from that point onwards.
>>215556970>Yeah bro HXH has WAAAAAAAAAY better wrighting Fick off no
>>215559309>wrightingLol.
>>215556493Trump literally wins at the end of the one-shot sequel you retard. He buys the Death Note and then says he’ll never use it to make America looks better.

>>215557775I really really really like this image
>>215557620No you
>>215557139> No I'm not a pedophile. I'm also not a manchild who watches "cartoons" for "adults". Fuck off to reddit.Usogui is anti pedophile tho
>>215555930he could write down all jew names and save the planet but nooooo
>>215556391>kill a billionnaire and hundreds of thousands lose their jobsfunniest shit i've read today
>>215555930Are you allowed to kill multiple people at once by writing a category? Because I know I would write "All 2 billion Indian Hindu rape rats" and create a utopia world without Indians.
>>215555930If you kill those people it just creates a power vacuum which more assholes will fill
>>215560820kill those ones too. and the next. etc...
Death Note x Book of the New Sun (made by illustrator of dn)
>>215555930Retard, he killed people starting wars too. There was a huge timeskip.
>>215557791>a natural phenomenaPhenomenon*
>>215555930He wants to deter crime, not turn all of society on its head.
>>215561140The narrative almost entirely showed him offing regular lowlifes, and during that timeskip society is basically being remolded to worship him as a new god, making what he's doing more clearing out the competition. At no time during the first arc does off major movers and shakers. The closest he gets are the young executives from whatever the corporation was.
>>215561440He should have read Les Miserables.
>>215555930>Asian male worships authority no matter whatwhat a revelation!
>>215556206read The Solo Climber, absolute kino that renewed my faith in the medium
>>215556686>goes on a tirade about women lacking the will to be true mangakaReally? Sounds based
>>215561450death note's a chinese cartoon. its edgy teen audience can't comprehend greater pictures.it's like those apolitical influencers: thinks they're the good guys when they do some band-aid charities, when they could've used their platforms to perform actual, permanent changes.
>>215559342Can't help but think that would backfire really badly on him. Every suspicious death gets blamed on the US and meanwhile he's actually powerless against terrorists. People start wondering why he doesn't simply kill whatever the modern Osama Bin Laden ends up being.
>>215555930Asians are super blue pilled on how society works. They really are bug people in many ways. Confucianism has fucked their minds
>>215556391>Open the Death Note>"Mohammed">"Heart attack">World peace breaks out instantlyIt's not that hard to figure out.
>>215556206Literally everyone agrees that it ends with L's death. The rest is just slop to milk a popular title.
>>215561931>World peace breaks out instantlyOf course not, no jew is named Mohammed.
>>215561111Oh wow, that's a surprisingly fitting crossover
>>215555930If I had this power, I'd do the same thing, but create an elaborate web of conspiracies and people operating secret factions that serve to "cure the world". The book is too powerful, you can technically mind control people indefinitely and then have them die under normal circumstances. The real power is to control whoever you want.
>>215557121Bankers are evil tho, you not aware of infinite fiat printing causing inflation for the normal folks and stealing peoples savings?
>>215555930He actually does kill evil world leaders but he had him die in non-obvious ways. There is a line about in in S1. There was no way for L to caught on to this.
>>215555930My favorite part is that he kills all the obvious criminals and normies think that means he killed them all, because all the ones on tv died.Except global organized crime still exists, and they are more powerful then ever. The have ICBMs and shit now.
>>215561673More like retarded since some of the most successful and influential mangaka are women
>>215556736Religion is for national building, it (and Christianity especially) should go away once the nation is actually built.
Johan from monster is a more grounded character even though he is also supernatural in his abilities.
>>215562842Studies show that Christian places have less crime and higher prosperity than atheist places. Movies were better when christians were dominant in hollywood, too. It should stay.
>>215555930>elites are... LE BAD
>>215555930> kill the status quo controllers to bring orderOP posted this
>>215562842You sure are fuckin stupid
>>215562820more like purposefuly ironicthe tirade only makes sense if it was written as a joke by a woman
>>215564133wtf is a christian place?wtf is an atheist place?
>>215555930should've killed bad ideas and metaphysical concepts.Death killing Death.
>>215565230>christian place1950s America.>atheist placeMost American cities in modern times.
>>215555930Dude had the world worshipping his name by the end of the series.
>>215556391and this is bad because?...
>>215556391Can you hold your nose?
>>215555930He is a massively privileged (young, smart, good looking, charismatic, well-off stable family), narcisistic teenager from a country where "don´t disturb the peace" and "accept your lot and shut up" are at the core or their social contract. Of course he doesn´t care the structural aspect of the society´s ills.
>>215558347>>215558347Chat is this true? If I wanted to write and publish my own manga where eeleetz are t3h bad goys, would I get "the call" and a stern talking to or worse?
>write in the Death Note that Bill Gates buys 10 million dollars worth of Bitcoin, converts it to Monero, transfers it to a wallet I own, and then deletes his own Bitcoin and Monero wallets along with any record he has of the transactions before dying of a heart attack>never work again and just enjoy life with my newfound wealth That's how you win.
>>215566451The DN was never that specific with characters actions in the manga. Mello bluffs that he can kill world leaders but have them launch nukes first but this is later determined by both L and Light to be a lie. The stupid netflix movie turned it into mind control.
>>215566520I remember it being like that in the anime, too. Doesn't Light make a bunch of people follow very specific instructions for him in complex setups?
>>215555930>I thought this guy was supposed to be smart?That's literally the plot of the whole series you retardHe is a teenager with a god-complex. He thinks he is smarter than everyone which is why he gets caught in the end.
>>215565942lmao yeah as far as his target goes, it would line up to what the ordinary Japanese would've done with the book.
>>215555930are you speedwatchers?he actively threatens political leaders (even made the US president submit) and has completely eradicated all global wars because leaders and elites know they will die if they do not listenif he starts going murderhobo on them they have 0 incentive to cooperate
>>215557239No, it is actually possible to be a conscientious ruler.
>>215564418And who is letting them into white nations in the first place?
>>215555930>billionaires, bankersNothing wrong with those
>tranimeGrow up.
>>215564418Just checked the first quote and it didn't say anything like that
