When two nerds are playing 

Track from video: bfan.link/death-up

when overthinkers overthinking each other

Light: "blinks" L : "Yup, that's a 99 percent increase in the chance that he's Kira"

“he couldn’t profile me off of one tennis match” Proceeds to profile him on one tennis match

You might say it's unnatural to think that much during a tennis match but actually you do have a lot of time to think in between hits

Bro is a type of guy who would have A BACK UP PLAN FOR A BACKUP PLAN

Me in this situation: "Ok, don't miss the ball...I missed."

Fun fact: this match foreshadows the rest of the story and each major plot point. Such as L's first interaction and getting the first point, that being his victory over kira exposing him at the beginning with the 5v broadcast. Up to his death, and how he would set up near to take over.

The basic solution for this: just play tennis. No suspicion, no subliminal message or alternative reason for the win or loss, you just play tennis.

It was Ryuga not yoga😂😂😂

that tennis match alone increased the fact that light is Kira by 55% 😂

Imagine just watching these two monologue in real time

L is so smart his shirt changes by itself from short sleeved to long sleeved in the span of a few seconds

That's equivalent to overthinking overthinking that you were overthinking a moment ago which wasn't a normal thinking but a giant a$$ overthinking.

Bro really said hideki yoga ☠️

Light couldnt shit without L deducing something from it 😂😂😂

It made me remember about that anime where a profesional tenis mom abandoned her family and the daughter broke down mentally, caring only for her approval, being better than her in her own sport, and avoiding any external human contact. Even when she appeared again she defiled her achievements, left only to make another family so her second daughter would surpass her, and treats the original like trash.

His side profile is terrifying. Mf is a skin walker.

This was a real intense tennis match!! 😅

They are not nerd they masterminds

This anime is why I have social anxiety. Learned the overthink from the best.

The whole story was foreshadowed in this match

This match wasn't about who is Kira, it was about who can play the best while also being occupied with other thoughts

Light : *breathes L : He's kira.

The Prince of Death Note

Bro it’s a tennis competition it ain’t that deep 😂

lowkey if L just constantly said “Hey Kira” i think eventually light would’ve instinctively turned to look and wouldve been caught given enough time.

Sherlock and Moriarty

Overthinkers are overthinking their overthinking while overthinking eachothers overthinking while simultaneously overthinking their own overthinking

All light had to do is to stop killing for like a couple of years, move out of the country with a page of the death note while the real one is hidden away and then come back once there's no more space in the page

I also like that light has the same shortcoming in his thinking throughout, while L thinks of what a normal person would do as well as what Kira would do, light only ever thinks of what Kira would do and how to avoid it instead of thinking about what others would do.

The only characters that have Plan A-Z

i love that they were both just randomly really good at tennis

This tennis match is everything ridiculous about death note.

This tennis match made nonsense psychologically. Either way, L would think he's Kira.

You lost *The Game* (You lost lol💀)

How's my impression 😀🤔🤔"according to my calculations if I shoot the ball at exactly.03 mph I should hit rim just enough to avoid suspension and seem like a average person"

I SWEAR I CAN HEAR DEATH'S WHISTLE FROM PUSS IN BOOTS

Weird how he titled it “2 nerds” when they’re prodigies meanwhile this guy makes shorts

I didnt know yhe memes about them doing shit like this was actually real

Pov:you overthinked an overthinked while he tries to overthink you at the same time you overthinked him😂 Lots of overthinking done here

He hit the ball so hard it became a hundred balls

I used to use this strategy to get my black belt on club Penguin. Now, I simply don’t have the creative energy anymore to think like this.

Image they play chess Never let them know you next move *Proceed to thing each move let in a diffend outcome see the future*

I thought their overthinking was just in those parodys not in the actual show

I cant unsee L wearing shoes

That two smart kids in my class if they have diffirent answers

Tennis match foreshadowed the result

Imagine if there was a knock off series of death note where a lot of things are the same like stuff like this but at the end of the series we find out that every time he wrote in his notebook and someone died it was just a coincidence

Side character know the name of l while light trades eyes for them 😂

Overthinker if they met other overthinker:

did the title really just say: When two nerds are playing.

So This tennis match explains the plot of the anime.

Their critical thinking is always giving me goosebumps, thanks to this i think ima watch deathnote all over again😅😅😅😅

Including this Light won twice 😂

Bro how is L that athletic if he stays at home and eats chocolate

This is the best scene in death note, from here it only goes down

And the 2 absolute needs are of course physically flawless and masters at sport.... Sure. Id like to see that scene fro ma bystanders perspective, with just the whimpiest of plays.

They literally think like ppl when competing in chess

This was apparently foreshadowing L’s death, but what’d you expect? Light has the supernatural on his side and L is wearing jeans while playing tennis

I want an edit of this scene where one is overthinking with those crazy thoughts and the other is thinking about dinner later or something

They not nerds, one is the psycho killer and one is rich genius detective

“Dude just play tennis”

There is an amazing lack of knowledge and logic in this dialogue

Best scene in the show

Fire foreshadowing

Atlast they became best friends. 😂 kira never wrote ls name. If u see closely. Thats called both SIDES RESPECT and realized something. Now outside ones are confused 😂

I am sorry this is my high school tennis team

I seriously cannot recall most of these clips 😅

This entire fucking anime is just back and forth armchair sociology

Yo, just play tennis like you usually do

bro these are the type of people to go to go to McDonald’s and have a mental battle on who’s paying

That first person was just like Light but dumb.

foreshadowing

Foreshadowing

I feel like the only one who likes ligh more than L

To this day I’m convinced the tennis match was important af . L noticed that light DECIDED to win . Light wasn’t Kira he would just win with no hesitation. Or it’s a translation error Also great foreshadowing.

legendary anime

For the love of God just play tennis it won't kill u

I hate it when I see tennis in anime. Cause I'm a tennis player and seeing people in the anime freak out about how good they are but there form defies any kids and of physics involved with tennis

Yoga? Isn't that the guy from star wars?

He thinks that im kidding instead of Kira wtf xdd

The smartest idiot in anime

Crazy😮😮😮

So the solution was juste play a normal tennis game?

The greatest anime forever ❤❤

Light is not a nerd 😅

Animes name _death note

Light is better 😂😂

HIDAKI YOGA XD

Nice eyes

I know im not the only one who thought this scene was stupid and overcomplicated for the sake of plot

L: “I deduce… that Kira is homophobic.” K: (Huh? …I’ll kiss him. That will show I’m gay… and thus not Kira). L: (If he tries to kiss me he’s hiding something). K: (Fuck… he might see right through me... I might try something else). “Hey L, have you heard about gay sex?” L: (Curious… If Kira is indeed homophobic, this should prove Light is innocent. Unless… He’s expecting me to back-down. Kira would bluff here in which case I should) - “YES Light… I will participate in gay sex with you”.

Jus…play?

Novak Vs Rafa

It's Ryuga not yoga 😭

IM SO CONFUSED like I cba watching the anime but can someone explain the light kira and L love triangle bc ik light and kira are the same it’s just when he has the death note or not right? But who’s L?

I just wish the code geass dub was written well… Wait which show is this?

hidaki yoga ??

This is why I don't understand why people like Death note
