Everyone bullied him, but he saved everyone. If there are more people like him, even if Kira doesn't appear, good and vulnerable people will be able to live more bravely
I agree completely! Sorry for the late reply, I just saw your comment. I believe you're right though. And yes, he did end up being the one to save everyone else. Thanks for watching!
I kinda felt bad for him since the last time we see him in the anime, he looks betrayed by light but after seeing a-kira and c-kira stories, I can proudly say matsuda is doing well in the npa and also helps L (near) on some cases as well
@@notjeff7833 Yes! I liked seeing how Matsuda seems to be doing really well after the Kira case. I was afraid that something like learning Light was Kira, and then shooting him, would have stuck with him for a very long time.
Several reasons, tbh. I'll give the shorter answer first, but below that, I'll go into a little more detail. I also get asked this question a lot, so I made a video about why Matsuda is my favorite character. You can check that out if you want to. I cover the same points I will here, but with examples from the anime. (These are all just my opinions, btw.) Short answer: - Matsuda is relatable - He's beneficial to the investigation and got them a huge break in the case - He's smart (yes, I said Matsuda is smart) - Matsuda can see both sides of the Kira debate - He has great character development - And possibly best of all, he's the one who shot Light. I feel like Matsuda is a very relatable character. He is the one Death Note character that I relate to the most. As do many other people. I think most of us have felt like Matsuda at some point. He was also very beneficial to the Kira investigation, especially during the Yotsuba arc. Matsu actually got them a big break in the case by sneaking into Yotsuba, because by doing that, he proved that Kira was really working with Yotsuba. Before Matsuda confirmed this for them, it was only speculation. He was also able to tell them where the conference room was so that they could install the cameras. He risked his life by going onto Sakura TV as well. Of course, he never gets credit for any of this. He's actually quite smart too, despite other characters treating him like an idiot. He proves himself to be smart and quick-thinking many times. Especially after he was caught by Yotsuba. He's not a genius like Light, L, or Near, but neither are any of the other characters. He's also able to see both sides of the Kira debate. Which is admirable on its own, but I feel like this is another thing that demonstrates Matsuda's intelligence as well. He's a detective, so of course he wants to catch Kira. Yet, even though Matsuda doesn't support Kira, he can understand why some people do. Most other characters are strictly on one side or the other and can't understand those who don't agree with them. I also feel like Matsuda is one of the characters with the most character development, too. He starts out as a kind of naive rookie and ends up being the person to bring down Kira. Even though I liked Matsu from the beginning, I loved him even more after he shot Light. I wanted Light to lose and it was even better that it was Matsuda who shot him, because Matsuda always completely believed in Light. And on top of all that, he's such a funny, cute, and innocent character, too. Imo anyway. So yeah, there are many reasons why I absolutely love Matsuda.
