Bro, the second scenario is actually fucking genius, i cant believe no one though about this. The first scenario is a little weird and forced though. But the third scenario is hell yeah, the perfect ending, no one lose and no one wins, everyone live peacefully, butterflies and rainbows all around.
Light trusted the TV enough to kill an obviously fake L which kickstarted the whole investigation to begin with. You all are seriously overestimating Light. He isn't *that* cautious/paranoid.
L probably knows Light is Kira. He wants to win his “childlish” game and in a way shelling Kira from governments interference by making him part of the investigation team. Otherwise Light prob be found shot himself in the back of the head somewhere by agents.
The first scenario doesn't work: All light has to do is go online and Gossip, something like, say "Oh my god, I was approached by the real L and he said his name was L. Lawliet or something like that". Then the name L gave him is public information, so the Real Kira could realistically have been the one to finish the job. Also, Light wouldn't have fallen for the L is dead trick... he would be at least smart enough to see through that. In the third one, Light set up the situation beforehand so that Rem would still have to write L's name to save Misa. The second one is genius though and probably would've worked.
The thing with the gossip one is u also need a face and it feels a bit too dumb for light to post the name and face of the guy who is investigating the magic murder man
@@andrewliu8048 Light could just say that he had no idea that L would actually use his real name, so he thought it was an alias. It would be a little suspicious on Light, but the only person who really suspected him was L... so he could pretty easily convince the rest of the task force that he was alright, especially since half of them liked him and would be ready to give him the benefit of the doubt. Also, since Kira is suppose to be an urban legend at this point in the story, Light could just say that he doesn't believe in Magic and therefore Kira must be using some kind of modern scientific weapon or some kind of sleight of hand. L always had his work cut out for him because the Death Note leaves no evidence, so even if L literally has the death note in his hands (all names written down in it), he would still have his work cut out for him convincing a court that it was light that wrote the names down... Especially since Shinigami are real in that universe and are known to write peoples names down. L literally never had a chance of winning.
He could just say he wanted to study criminology in the second one. Plus there is not enough proof to prove he is Kira from a singular name on the paper. In a fair debate, L would probably win against Light but L is defending Kira who is believed to be a magic being or an urban legend at this point so L would be at a disadvantage.
Yeah, now that im thinking about it. Light has no idea he is even Kira in that moment. So if he never touches it he will remain an alright guy, I mean he is still technically psychotic either way.
@@MotherFucker445idk if the original comment is true because I've never heard it before, but I think he would have had to have been named regardless of whether or not he knew it, whether it was by his birth parents or by the orphanage.
Unfortunaterly, the third scenario doesn’t work since one of the two rules Light added was : “If the notebook is destroyed, everyone who has touched it will die.” No happy ending possible !
To be fair though, nobody but Higuchi had read the notebook, and the new rules yet, so that wouldn't matter. They only examined the notebook fully back in headquarters.
L coulda thought like “ill sacrifice myself” but tbh i domt think he’d do that realistically, im jus saying thats one of thousands of technically possible different outcomes
What really should have happened: L: Hey, Light. Just arrested Misa as the second Kira. Light: What?! L: Oh, and we're arresting you too. See as you're her boyfriend and we have reasonable suspicision that you could be an accomplice, assuming you're not actually Kira. Light: This can't be happening! (Light and Misa jailed, people stop dieing, no convoluted plan to get them out, Light and Misa executed.)
Light literally has rem remove misa's death note so her memories get erased. All light would have to do is tell ryuk or rem to give the death notes to someone else in a coded way so L doesn't figure out what's going on.
@@officialdeadendgames Light only pulled that off because he told Ryuk and Rem what to do BEFORE he was arrested. There is no way he could communicate such a complex plan without alerting L.
@@jonathanadams5903 ryuk is a dick and would pretend to not understand. Rem would easily understand his intentions and go through with it. If you disagree, cool, I don't care to continue arguing about fictional characters.
I mean, there was a time, after finding death note, where magic gave endless possibilities. There even was suspiction that notebook is responsible for Kira egsistence, I even thougth that it would end with white peace clearing Ligth from crime.
L wanted to win but also wanted a friend it almost felt like he was trying to enjoy his friendship with light even though he knew it was a death battle and he d probably die sooner than later, poor L
1st Scenarios: We all know why that wouldn't work. 2nd Scenario: Light knew there were cameras in his house with out even being flipping in his house, so he would definitely suspect that his dad suddenly repairing the TV is def sus 3rd Scenario: Light wrote in the notebook as a fake rule that after destroying the notebook, whoever touched it will die and L is not stupid enough to just burn the evidence on the spot without understanding the notebook. And about the touching part pretty sure Rem would eventually make Light touch the notebook as she wants Misa to be saved
2nd scenario could work if L pulled strings to specifically alter Light's broadcast. Or put in some lure in the internet. There's no 'repairing' needed. He already did this in the beginning of the series by altering regional broadcast to bait him into 'killing him'.
@@kimmson6356 Depends, L could take initiative without informing the policeteam. Especially during the parts where he suspects of there being a traitor amongst their mids.
i rlly don't get how most comments debunk 1 and 3 yet majority somehow calls the one that literally got debunked in the anime due to light bringing his own personal mini tv the most genius.
The trick was already used once. Honestly the real "genius" part were spies doing something spies do. Act like they belong there. In general spies themselves were unfortunately kind of downgraded. A broken pipe, and a few repairmen would be natural. So no obvious, "People snuck into my house." Then there's the lack of codenames or fake name which would've saved 90% of the spies. Also would've save that one woman in the beginning. Not to mention the criminal assets L brought in.
it's simple. i'll help you understand. 1. doesn't work because it's simply absurdly obvious that it's a test. it's forcing light to accept L died of natural causes AND that he has to tell them he died of natural causes in order to throw away suspicion, when the obvious safe reaction is to just say "omg the real kira must have gotten him! but that's definetely not me!". assuming that it's of natural causes just outs yourself, and there's no way light wouldn't see right through that right off the bat if i could myself. 2. light only got a mini tv because he found out there were cameras. in this scenario, there were no cameras. thus, light never needed a mini tv to enact a potato chip plan. 3. light wrote down a fake rule for this very reason. it's a literal canonical plot point that exists in the show for the very reason of not allowing L to burn or destroy it.
@@AshtonScriptsand your telling me the guy who was suspicious of his door being opened 5cm above wouldn’t be suspicious of his head chief who works with L suddenly repairing tvs in the house that aren’t broken?
The third scenario didn't happen because the plot caused L to lose 100 IQ points. Like, they talked about Light having been Kira but having forgot about it. They talked about the power being passed between people and the memory going with. He has every reason to suspect touching the death note would bring back those lost memories. There was literally no reason to risk it.
The soichiro yagami drama caused L to believe it wasn't Light, kinda. Also, there was another fake rule which said that burning the notebook will cause everyone who touched it to die.
But if the third one had happened then L would never have been able to definitively prove that Light was Kira. Ultimately that's what drove him the entire time. If he had a chance to shut down the case but not find out who Kira was... I don't see him taking it. That's more of a Near thing to do.
@@ahnaflfc369 I get that L wasn't confident Light had been Kira, but he's not one to throw out a reasonable possibility, especially when Light admitted that Kira behaved exactly like he would have if he'd gone off the deep end. And didn't they already figure out that the bit about having to kill at least once a week was a fake rule? At that point, it's pretty obvious it's another fake rule. Or maybe that was later, I don't remember. Even if they didn't want to burn the book, the US government has plenty of extremely secure places to put stuff like that, so that's not really a determining factor.
1st scenario is absolutely genius, 2nd scenario would NEVER work, if Light has the slightest suspicion about anything he will be super careful, let alone if his dad literally formally states that people will come into his room... remember that time cameras got installed in his house? nobody told him and he was still careful af
First scenario wont also work at all because light aint gonna reveal everything if u threaten him to death, remember his father forced him to kill him but he didn't reveal the notebook
@@gauranshrathoreyou’re right but at time he relinquished ownership of the death note and had no memory of it, i would say a better example is when he got caught and denied denied denied till it all fully caught up with him, or how he thought about killing his sister and father to seem less suspicious
The second scenario could work for the same reason of ego that made Light kill Lind L Tailor. Plus it was Ryuk that truly saved light from the cameras ploy by noticing the cameras. Ryuk wouldn't know to notice pre recorded clips. But then idk why he'd need 'TV repairmen' to come in and do this specifically. L has the influence and discretion of broadcasting media all over the world. 2 'Lind L Tailor' plays back to back, and the series would be over in less than 10 eps lool
@@XavielRU-vidthe way its phrased, Light is confronted in the heat of the moment. Just like when his dad had him in the car. In which case Light wouldn't really have time to confirm anything. But then I believe what happens next is, Light would or could the same thing as in the show when he was being cornered. That is to relinquish the notebook by faking hysteria or anger and throwing it naturally to the ground. And either Ryuk understands the gesture or Light discussed this with him as a contingency earlier, if he ever got caught. Seems to me like he shouldve made that sorta plan much earlier in the series instead of when it came to a climactic point with L.
0:19 " L. Lawliet, dies in 10 days, killed by a Kira fanatic after his identity is revealed to whole world and after explaining to Yagami's father that he is sure that his son is innocent and him getting killed would not mean anything". Allright now time to focus on exams and girls and stop being Kira for a few weeks.
Realistically, Light would right L’s name in the notebook anyways and dictate he has no more suspicions, and continue on for several months before he will kill himself out of frustration.
1st scenario: I don't think I need to say anything about this one. Moving on. 2nd scenario: Genius idea on paper, but its effectiveness would depend on how they'd lead up to it. Here the TV repair thing is too sudden, and you typically don't call up a repair squad for something that's shown no clear signs of any malfunction. I feel like Light would find it suspicious done this way; it could work but it needs to be a little more believable. 3rd scenario: Honestly, this would have the smartest thing for L to do at the time instead of just letting someone else pick up an extremely dangerous death artifact. Sadly, L would still bite the bullet because of the setup with Rem - although in that situation, Light would have no idea why. He'd probably carry on the Kira case for a while, only to finally drop it once he realized no one else was dying. Funny to think Kira could have ended that way, and Light could have actually gone on to be a decent human being XD (Well, assuming Ryuk doesn't decide to make good on what he said near the very beginning.)
I agree with the 3rd scenario: L dropped the ball by letting Light touch the notebook and not becoming 100% more suspicious of him immediately. he had already concluded that kira's power can move from person to person and does so according to the will of the current owner, and that Light wouldve constructed a scenario in which the power would return to him - which is EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! and yet L somehow didnt catch on to it right away. of course he couldnt possibly know or even suspect anything about Rem loving Misa and that she would die if she prolonged Misa's life, so that part is fine, but still, L shouldve been much more cautious with the notebook and its proximity to Light.
2nd and 3rd scenarios are so good, hearing about the 2nd one for the first time ever and the 3rd one, well, there would not be a show if it was like that. Btw L confirmed with Misa that she met Light on the day when 1st and 2nd Kira have met. And I think they deducted with Light that he could have been Kira before and the power passes between people. Knowing that, handing Light the notebook was incredibly stupid
Scenario 3 but instead of burning it, keep it in a safehouse and catch whoever tries to get it and shut that down in the spot. Light doesn't get to remember he's Kira, no one else living gets to know about it, the note eventually gets forgotten. People happy. Scenario 4: Just investigate Mikasa's self-ace and find out she was talking to Light at the police HQ in her last minutes.
Possible 4th scenario L observes misas hair flying so there must be a shinigami and asks rem about the plan when he met rem and eliminates kira (light ) by using death note
I thought about the second scenario before but using crafted newspapers with headlines delivered to lights home with names of criminals in confinement that only a select few would know about and if they die after Light sees them, it would confirm he was kira.
I already thought about the second idea but it's not feasible, since Light was also getting his names from the police department's files directly due to his links with his dad. They should've tried to find a way to limit each suspect's access to the files, in such a way that they only see specific criminals without them knowing anything is missing. Then depending on which criminals die, that's your kira. All they needed was a tech guy
Love the video, huge fan. Just a few notes. Scenario 1. As a side note, L could probably accomplish this without sharing his identity. However, the play has a low chance of success. Light would never have a reason to volunteer information on anything, much less the death note or the fact that he is guilty in any way. The police department would have no reason to trust L's word without real evidence. It's just not a good play to bet all your cards on. Scenario 2. Ngl, it's great. The others are fun too. Practically speaking though, it wouldn't work. How would they feed in a prerecorded clip into a television that takes in a live broadcast? How could they be sure that he wouldn't just change the channel? This relies on the idea that he always watches the news and wouldn't attempt to change the channel. It may seem like a small issue but it would be difficult to get around this without Light being aware of it (for instance, needing to alter the TV or somehow feed in a remote signal to it). For argument's sake, let's say that the TV has built-in VCR. How does the tape run right when the TV is turned on? How is it in the right place at the right time? L's choice of simply watching Light was probably the best one given the circumstances. Narratively speaking, there's a lot you'd have to explain here. Scenario 3. Oh yes, the move that basically lost L the game. I think this was more of a human failing than anything. He was shocked at seeing a Shinigami, and in his mind Light had cleared himself of all suspicion (at least from a reactionary standpoint). If he was in top shape mentally, then maybe he probably wouldn't have allowed Light to touch the notebook since he was once a suspect, but I think he went through an entire period of doubting himself and removing that from his mind. He wouldn't burn the notebook though, that would also cause unforeseen consequences. Ideally if he was smarter in that moment he would have packaged it and prevented anyone from coming in contact with it, but preventing members of his own team from even coming in contact with it would also not work long term. I love the fact that light agrees with L at the end btw. It'd be hilarious because Light would totally see the reasoning behind that, and would want to prevent Kira from returning even if it was himself.
L knew light is Kira from the start, but he had 2 problem: 1) proof - because being the only perfect match to a profile isnt proof. 2) murder weapon - it can be argued that finding the weapon is more important than finding Kira. Because even if Kira is in prison someone else can use it
If someome approached me and said he is a mass murderer then saying his name is a letter which the greatest detective nickname i would say "are you on drugs"?
i have watched death note again in detailed if you notice there are some flaws in L's writing, there are some points where L was careless such as in when he met misa for the first time why would light keep different cell phone? after getting death note why didn't L tried not to know much about death note rules and match it light yagami how he lost his memory in and sharing of death note he was aware that power can be shared and memory loss can happen, if there was real L he would never have ignored those things and he could beat light in his own game
Alternative title: if Light was stupid 1 is pure stupidity that light would never fall for And the 3rd was a forced position and burning the notebook would mean he got away with it and he’d just use the other book I personally wouldn’t have fallen for any of them Because why would you fix a working tv 💀 but still it stops him from killing so it still confirms one of his suspects is Kira and light acting suspicious is proof Also I would have checked to see if the tv was broken if I wasn’t 100% sure but it would work if someone breaks the tv before hand but even that is sus So I doubt someone 50 IQ higher would fall for it
Second scenario wouldn't work because Light would never trust anything his father does since he's heading up the Kira investigation. They would have to replace the TV with a prerecording when he was at school or something.
For the first scenario Well that's impossible Even the time naomi misora wanted to destroy light single plans he avoided to buy shinigami eyes and because of this it's impossible to just with shooting him he confess everything. Second scenario was also not workable cause L already putted 64 camera at light house. For not just seeing how criminals dies He wanted to see how it works. Also second scenario won't work cause they would fall in light door trap. Third scenario was a little acceptable But there's no way light wasn't going to touch death note tbh. Also there was 2 dn at There so even with burning it Case wouldn't going to close
A agree with everything exept the door trap part. L is smart enough to leave the paper on the floor, considering that he knows that Light knows that people are going into his room beforehand.
All of these have a good reason to NOT work that is explained in the anime or magna. 1) Light wouldn't have fallen for the L is dead thing, and would have created an ideal situation to kill L, just like he did in the original story 2) Soichiro Yagami putting the fake tape in Light's TV wouldn't have worked since, just like in the original story, Light had a "defense" system to know if someone entered his room. 3) Light planned that scenario too, putting the fake rule that if the note is burnt everyone hat touched it dies. Plus: he planned that Rem had to kill L because of Misa. Sorry that i had to be the 🤓☝🏻 but I couldn't accept that everyone is saying in the comments that these were genius and would have worked 👀 The author of the story was too smart to not think about these
Why would Rem kill L if Misa wasn't treated until after Light recovered all his menories? If L didn't let Light touch the note, there's 0 reason for Rem to give Light his memories back, Misa's name would've been clean since they found the real Kira (or the person they thought Kira was)
In the video, Soichiro tells Light to his face that a repairman is coming into his room; it's not a secret. The only secret part is that the repairman is actually tweaking the TV. If Light refused to have the TV "repaired," it would be too suspicious and would expose him as Kira, and while he may not have trusted the TV after the repair, he wouldn't be able to kill criminals in far off countries without watching the TV. If he opted not to kill that night, the correlation with the "repair" and Kira going quiet would also put suspicion on him.
For the first one, how even if they put a gun to his face. Light is not willing to die. And for the secnod one, his dad tells him the people are repairing his tv, so he would know people are coming in
@@Kinetochore-ti5hk Well, to be fair, if he doesn't trust the TV and there are no cameras in the room like L says (I assume Light would still have Ryuk check if he's already suspicious, which he probably would be since there's nothing actually wrong with the TV), then in canon he literally had the money and idea to buy a brand new mini LCD TV, so wouldn't he just whip that plan out here instead?
Scenario number 1 Light writes that L says change of plans and goes tells his name to someone else. Boom now that person is the suspect. Light could be suspicious from this but no where near full proof. Scenario 2 Light could be suspicious of someone repairing his tv. Or maybe he just decides to change the channel that day. Then he returns to see he same broadcast is playing. Third The rule that you couldn’t burn the death note or everyone who touched it would die was written in already. Also Light eventually would have found the scrap he left in his watch.
2nd scenario is promising, but it needs to be more subtle. The "tv repair" is just waaay too obvious for Light not to catch it (but it is a nice simple way to explain the base idea without having a 15 minutes video, so well done on that) L has done selective broadcast before, and it did marvels. He could repeat that by having different list of criminals broadcasted specifically to increasingly smaller regions. Nowadays it would be a very easy thing to do. Not sure about the setting in the anime, that probably still rely on hertzian waves, but likely feasable. AND IT WOULD BE VERY EFFECTIVE
In no universe Light trusts the TV after it's been repaired or after someone has been in his room But yeah the 2nd scenario is pretty genius. Definately something I could see in the show
The best case was 2.but let me make some modifications. Let him be asked to leave the room to do tv repair.install few dummy cameras in his room whre he will notice and then set a pre recorded video on tv.since he spots the cameras,he wont suspect the tv.
1: smart, but Light could wiggle out of the confrontation and a risky move from L to use his actual name, and not necessarily for the scheme. 2. Absolutely brilliant and very creative. If Light was as paranoid as he later became he might have suspected foul play just on principle, who knows. 3. Best move to stop the killings, not sure if they could gather enough evidence on Light to prosecute him. I think L’s obsession with getting Kira prevented him from doing the smart thing. Great video!
First scenario wouldn’t work. Since light knew he didn’t kill L he would NEVER confess any of the details until there was hard evidence pointing towards him. For the second scenario, as smart as it was, it wouldn’t work either. Remember Light was able to tell his room was wire tapped just from his door alone. He would be suspicious about people randomly coming to check up on his TV. So he would suspect the room is wiretapped again and kill criminals the potato chips way. The third scenario is actually plausible.
