If he just killed bad people by accident and got rid of their god-like obsession, he would be good.

Not retarded but the show really overplayed his intelligence. He made tons of stupid mistakes,

Also, he fucked up killing that TV guy on eoosides 3-4 idk

He wanted to be god

He made worse mistakes:

He was an arrogant and prideful prick.

lol

Light is 5'10.5 you brainlet

>it's never lupus
I forgot this line was funny 10 years ago.

I like death note but hate how they is literally zero character development for every character. Also after L dies it's not worth watching.

There wouldn't be a story if Light didn't get caught. Plus he's just a kid no matter how smart he thinks he is.

This. The only reason to watch it is to see Light and L play cat and mouse. And it starts to get completely ridiculous after Light erases his memory. It would have been better if we didn't know that he deliberately erased his own memory in order to get one up on L. What a tweest that could have been.

He's a manlet.

If we didn't know we'd just assume he was lying like he's been doing

muh God, that's all. He could have easily crafted a plan to attack the most unrelated and famous people first and then spread out so that nobody could find his identity, but he didn't bother.

>However, he can try to reduce the leakage and make his anonymity set as large as possible. For example, killing every criminal with a heart attack is a dead give-away. Criminals do not die of heart attacks that often.

The whole point was for people to KNOW it was done by some supernatural entity in order to fear committing crimes.

L figured out Light was Kira when they first met and sat down at the cafe and talked. He just didn't have proof. It was only when Lightr erased his memory that L began to doubt this. It made his death pretty impactful, but it didn't make the twist all that hard-hitting.

"X bomb maker breaks into building that L is staying in and blows himself up"

Not fucking hard Light. you knew the address and room he was staying in

True, but he could still have avoided obvious taunts and tried to continue killing impersonally. Responding to L on TV basically shouted "hurr I'm a human with a weapon, not a god".
Light was either too arrogant or not arrogant enough.

Wait, Light erased his memory? I don't remember that

When he and Misa get put in captivity

>Whether the cause of the individual's death is either a suicide or accident, if the death leads to the death of more than the intended, the person will simply die of a heart attack. This is to ensure that other lives are not influenced.
dumb speedreaders

Light's only mistake was killing the fake L. He was pretty much fucked from the beginning when he thought the Death Note was fake and used it on the first criminal, because they were going to do the fake broadcast in Japan no matter what. The problem was even paying attention to the broadcast he should have just continued like normal.

The numbers apply to the line below them

Read all of the article, it argues later that he could have used other methods such as death by police to increase the deterrant effect while still keeping anonimity.

>Wait, Light erased his memory? I don't remember that
KEIKAKU DOORI

>the single most important plot in the manga after Light vs Near finale
Come the fuck on, faggot

can someone remind me how Light got suspected from the beginning. Before his room got cameras.

Someone with obvious access to non-public police records, and was clearly was intelligent. Light fit the bill to a T.

there was absolutely no way he'd get caught until he decided

"HEY MY DAD'S one of the investigators, let's sneak through his items for details even though the existence of a leak would cast suspicion on all the investigators and by extension their families"

then his house became bugged and he was getting tailed by a CIA agent so he just had to keeep on killing

if he had done nothing except look up names of criminals and kill them then the police would not have been able to do a single fucking thing.

He went full retard and confirmed that he was connected to someone in the police

The bigger question is why did Rem kill herself for Misa?

the power of love

when you're that fucking bored you do stupid things
see this board

The biggest question is why didn't more Shinigami come down to Earth if they're all super bored and saw how much fun Rem and Ryuk were having?

Rem wasn't having fun, she just came to give Misa the death note

Not just this but he actually killed the person following him. PEMBEER. Although L did have no proof he was spot on to suspect him.

Why did Rem do this

I'd have liked more of the shinigami realm however as we see most of them laughed at ryuk for even bothering what that shit. I bet most of them at one point did fuck around with earth but are all too old and bored to enjoy it. Like an old man playing children activities, you just lose interest.

The ammount of people in this Thread who dont know the story is really sad

But L knew it was him and even followed him to school, he'd be watched for years if he just continued which Light clearly didn't want to do.

She was very bored and was friends with that especially ugly Shinigami who killed himself to save Misa from a stalker
also she's a woman and is more sentimental

Because Gelus killed himself to save Misa so that note was her property in Rem's eyes

Welcome to Sup Forums

Never read the manga but read how the ending there is better than the anime, how? Does it have none of that near/ mello filler plot?

>he'd be watched for years if he just continued
Penber was about to drop the investigation on Light after some weeks. Light, being a policeman's son, would know this. Not to mention that unless the emperor himself is following you, no one can obtain cooperation with another security agency for years to track down one suspect.

If he just would not have killed Lind L. Taylor, the story would pretty much have ended there because L. would be left without a hint where to search for Kira. Light was an immature prick but only because he was so intelligent could he get away with his shit for so long after his initial royal fuckup.

>Does it have none of that near/ mello filler plot?
>half of the manga
>filler

Watch the new movies, they have this plot

>zero character development
Matsuda learned to swim.

It is a bit more humiliating for Light. Iirc he even asks Ryuk for help. Which obviously is pointless, Ryuk is not his friend or even partner.

I watched that shit 20 years ago, of course I don't remember it

>muh development

DN was plot driven, character development was not needed

He was egotistical.

You know, nowadays it seems character development is a necessity no matter what kind of story it is and I don't really get why.

Oh man I wish this was in the anime since Light would seem to think he can control or befriend ryuk and it would have been a huge blow to his ego.

If it's fun, it's fun. One punch man has saitama, a man at the top of his game and I doubt he'll get any character development but its still fun. However character arcs add a hell of alot of depth too. Look at Jaime from GoT, do you think people would enjoy watching him if he was still prince charming from s1?

Don't speak to me about 3D.

kek sorry.

It's sort of like Overlord where the character development is for all the characters that aren't the MC.

Light does have character development. He starts off as a bored dude who gets Godlike power. At first he doesn't give a fuck about the whole Kira thing, he just wants to make the world a better place. Then it goes to his head and he decides to be a God.

And when he realises he's being watched, he turns very cautious. It's the first time he's felt the walls closing in, and he's THIS close to blowing it and he fucking knows it and you can see the panic setting in, but he gets that break. Once he gets that break, he starts to think he's invincible and he seriously turns megalomaniacal. It's at this point the character development stops, right up until the end when he snaps and becomes fully Kira, just before being shot.

Do you think the guy Light trucked in the first episode became an isekai protagonist?

No he's the same character and doesnt learn anything. Character development would be if he killed L but another killer rose up who was a much deadlier threat and realised his mistake at killing L so he became the new L to stop him and gives up the death note in the end or some shit.

...

Now that is a spin off I would read.

You are a fucking retard. Just because he didn't become 'good' doesn't mean there wasn't any character development.

>then his house became bugged and he was getting tailed by a CIA agent so he just had to keeep on killing
No he shouldnt have killed the fbi agent, it only made things worse. Light was fucking trigger happy and he fucked himself over and over

If you had the deathnote who would you kill and how?
Me, I'd find out some major criminal's health issues and kill them based on that.

intelligence is not the same as wisdom fuckhead

In the manga Light begs Ryuk to kill Near and the others, but Ryuk writes his name instead

The entire Rothschild family, killed by an angry mob.
Hillary Clinton, explosive diarrhea.

He was a manlet. When will they learn

Characters unable or refusing to learn can be character development in and of itself, i.e. Shaiapouf from HxH. Light's ego growing steadily is the same thing.

He was the same guy throughout the entire thing dumbass.

All detectives work by waiting for the criminal to make mistakes, it's how it works. Without making any mistakes, L would have no idea who it is and we'd have story.

It's a sad thing so many real human beings don't go through character development or I would have hope for you.

>Ryuk writes lights name
Why? was he bored of light? What did he do after? Did he realise ''shit, what have I done?
now i've gotta go back to that shithole realm.''

Most real human beings have oridinary lives, work, eat, sleep thats it. What can you develop from there? There is no magical power, monsters to slay, villains, good or evil, death notes or death notes.

>If you had the deathnote who would you kill and how?
Nope, I'd burn it. Fuck that shit.

Didnt want to wait for Light to die in prison.
Light had already lost at that point, even killing Near was more out of spite rather than a plan. The anime skipped a lot of things in part 2, about a third of it i'd say

I'd literally do what light did except for the whole "getting trigger happy with fbi agents investigating you" thing. I'd probably listen to posts with big gets as well for good laughs

theres no real life L so there is no way in gods cock you'd ever get caught

the entire globalist cabal will pay for the crimes against humanity they've commited

I don't know if it was anime only or not, but in the beginning didn't Ryuk say that in the end, he will write down Light's name in his notebook?

>no character development
I started on dialup, used to frequent chatrooms and play MMO's, now i'm on Sup Forums so i've moved on. You?

I was a child once and I grew up. You?

Imagine if every world leader died at the same time and threats were made of any other leaders stepping forward, the same would happen to them. Pure chaos.

>Pure chaos

Use it for my own good like the edgy fucktard I am.

Justice doen't exist.

Pretty interesting article. Especially the second was easily avoidable, considering Light can decide whenever someone dies. Even if he opts for a heart attack, he could "plan" some deaths to occur at midnight or early in the morning or while he's at school. Though he probably didn't expect to be that closely observed.

If I had that notebook I would pretend to be retarded just so the police doesn't mess with me

Criminals, politicians and big old capital holding families all over the globe. It seems rather petty to use it on anyone else like cleaning you neighborhood of hobos.
I`ll try to write down something fancy each time. Like having somebody write down in blood current best girl of this season or some other deranged things.

This one furfaggot that annoyed me over the internet once

I'd use it to make money. Perhaps as a hitman.

>pretend to be retarded

never seen this article, thank you for sharing it

I would make Kim Jong-un launch a nuke at his own country and see what happens

>pretend

>I would pretend to be retarded
It's not that easy. You need to be pretty fucking intelligent to convincingly play the role of a retard.

If you want to fuck up shit you need to kill a couple of billionaires. Elected leaders are just mascots.

very interesting, thank you for sharing user
