      L's intelligence is contingent on the fact that he had to be more intelligent; the odds were stacked against him. This placed, in my view, a burden on his character because he had to display a very unusual and outlandish intellect. Light was a 17 year old with a God complex who also had to deal with Misa as a liability; he wasn't in a purely advantageous position. L, on the other hand, was a 25 year old experienced detective, which, of course, is a massive way of understating things.
      I think the creators did a good job in balancing out the characters' advantages and disadvantages in service of a fast-paced, gripping, and, more specifically, convincing plot all the way through. I am saying all of this because I think there is a pretty major level of delusion that stems from bias which characterizes most Death Note fans' perception of Light relative to L. Yes, L was more intelligent, and Light had many supernatural advantages, but, once again, I think everything in the series was carefully and fairly selected to maximize believability and excitement, and the longstanding cultural impact of the show is a testament to this.
      Also, I think there's significant textual evidence that points to Light having more potential than L since, unlike L, Light wasn't groomed to be a successful genius. (Adding this two weeks after leaving this comment because it's been a while since I've seen/read the series, and I just remembered this.)

  • @Yodah97
    @Yodah97 Před 2 měsíci +161

    The way Light gets "lucky" is due to how Death Note didn't have an outline. So week to week the author would put Light in impossible situations and then wreck his brain on how to get him out. It's crazy, but it worked.
    Authors writing without an outline is not that uncommon. But this approach of throwing your protagonist into a hopeless situation without knowing how he'll get out when you're writing a weekly series, that's freaking insane.

    So my favorite thing about Light becoming L is this is actually the moment Light caught himself in a noose. In theory no one would challenge L however there was only 1 person who continuously challenged L; that being Kira. If someone knew L died then it automatically would be believed to be Kira. But if the next L after some time couldn’t make any progress after some time then it be obvious that the new L is either helping or is Kira.
    Basically L played 5D chess with his own life to put Light in a catch 24

      @@jojoa694 Actually, Near and Mello barely had public statements to work off of. The reason why even as-is they have an educated guess of the 2nd L being Kira is because of how much more active Kira was in the time skip while 2nd L has far less success in 5 years than the first L managed in 1. Near started becoming more sure after the raid because of Kira showing suspicious favoritism toward the Japanese TF.

    @MotorcycleCheetah Před 2 měsíci +21

    I feel like That is the strengths of L Lawliett and Light Yagami.
    L is a more straightforward detective, but he’s so far beyond the level of a Normal detective, he can put patterns and evidence together in a way most can’t.
    Light’s strength however, comes from being an absolute wild card. Light does indeed have a lot of luck thrust his way, thanks to him evening having the Death Note in the first place. But he also doesn’t squander that luck; he takes full advantage of it and plays up events in such a way that even if you know it’s Kira, you don’t how.
    Essentially, while L’s strength lies in being able to track down every bread crumb trail, Light’s strength lies in being able to shape that trail however he likes since he effectively controls the rules of the game; while L controls how he tackles it.

  • @corinneolivier1871
    @corinneolivier1871 Před 2 měsíci +45

    Something I never understood was this :
    When light starts killing everybody, specifically the people who are affiliated with L, why did that not raise any flags within the task force?
    When it came to Wedy and aiber, the only people that have really interacted with them were the task force, and suddenly, after interfering with the kira case they mysteriously turn up dead? It’s just one of the many incidences that highlight just how inherently incompetent the task force is

    • @MasterKnightDH
      @MasterKnightDH Před 2 měsíci +4

      I may as well provide a timeline of when the deaths happened in the manga:
      11/5/2004 - L Lawliet, Quillish "Watari" Wammy, and Rem
      1/10/2005 - Merrie "Wedy" Kenwood
      4/7/2005 - Tierry "Aiber" Morello
      4/10/2005 - Eiichi Takahashi, Takeshi Ooi, Shingo Mido, Reiji Namikawa, Suguru Shimura, and Masahiko Kida
      .....okay, so killing the Yotsuba survivors only a few days after killing Aiber was still sketchy on Light and Misa's part. I do want to clarify that there was some spacing between the deaths, though it could have stood to be better, but the time skip happening at all would still have explained a lot.
      What I will say is that there's still the matter of the 13 Day Rule. It was from a "reliable" source regardless, so Light and Misa being alive after not writing any names for at minimum 50 days straight from incarceration was "proving" them to not have been the Kira and 2nd Kira respectively. Of course, you are providing a point that it screams plot armor for them, but let's be fair: without the 13 Day Rule, Light and Misa were going to get caught irreparably with too much evidence against both of them. I think it would be worth discussion at any rate.

    While the cinematography may not directly imply it I always took it as sort of a given that things like the killing of the Yotsuba members and other people who would more implicate someone on the Task Force was done slowly over the course of the five year timeskip.
    Also on the subject of how the two of them cleaned themselves while handcuffed together, I don't know about Light but L canonically bathes by jumping in a washing machine so he probably just got a top loader.

      also, that would make more sense in my opinion, but, like you said, the cinematography just doesn't match up with that since they all died in front of each other; like namikawa literally died in shimura's arms. -- but, I will say that the ReLight movie does make it play out like you said; with each of them dying in different ways (suicide, car accident, etc.)

      In the anime, most of the things these two know have a vague source. I watched some of the Near Saga's episodes by order, and I have no idea how they knew half of what they knew.
      For example, Near was told that there was a fake rule in the Death Note, but he magically knew all the rules by the next episode, even though no one told them what they were and he never touched a Death Note at the time.

I like to think that this is Light realizing how much of an unfair advantage he had and how he only got away with everything he did by chance alone, that after everything he did L came out as even more impressive than him since everything L did he did based on the information Light left behind that none of the things he did or figured out came to him by random chance or mere luck, but by diligence and observation. I like to see this as Light admitting that, in the end, he basically cheated to win by having someone else do his job for him and by having completely random advantages dropped in his lap, that right than right there Light saw L as his superior for making leaps and bounds in his case and finding him out so easily and the only reason he couldn’t being that he wanted a total victory that L didn’t just want to win but have it be irrefutable.

    A hidden Easter egg/nod that I noticed is that at the final episode (37) when it shows Light running away after getting shot, there are water towers labeled "27, 26, 25..." with Light running towards the lower numbers. I see that as a subtle way to portray Light's regret and desire to go back to how things were in episodes before episode 26. It just cannot be a coincidence as the animation studio must have chosen those numbers for a reason.

    1. Raye Penber, even if ryuk didn't tell light he wasbeing followed, there is nothing to suggest that raye would find light suspicious otherwise, as raye doesnt know how kira powers work, even if he saw light write in the death note he wouldnt class that as suspicious because he would have no reason to link it. In fact Raye's death is what links L more onto Light.
    2. Naomi Misora, while i agree that Light was lucky in meeting her, he still has to play on her emotions in order to get her real name. And as shown she almost didn't fall for it.
    3. The cameras
    Before light even told ryuk to find the cameras and wiretaps, he already knew about them. And L said that Light wouldn't be caught be this and would play it off perfectly.
    4. Rem and Misa.
    While it is true luck was on his side that he met rem and misa who would kill L for him, it was also proven to be a double edged sword as misa was so infatuated with light that it causes L to put suspicion on her which in turn makes Light have to reveal the notebook.
    5. Lights dad. I woudlnt necessarily call this luck as any loving dad would refuse until it is shown right in their face that their son was kira.
    6. The rules. I also wouldn't call this luck as ryuk is neutral, he didn't know what light would use the rules for nor does he care, and light chose these specifc rules to not only make L disprove them to make rem kill L or Misa dies essentially holding her hostage, but also to (i may be wrong on this) but to keep higuchi killing until both him and L gets the notebook back.

  • @papawedge7396
    @papawedge7396 Před měsícem +1

    I have my interpretation of how the "data deletio/recovery" thing makes sense:
    When Watari dies, he deletes everything, but after the funeral, the Task Force set out to try to salvage whatever data they can recover from the computers so that the world doesn't realize that L is dead, we know Light is an expert in hacking so he tells them that he will attempt to recover all that Watari deleted, he partially succeeds and gets some of the lost data, as well as the systems that L and Watari used to communicate with the ICPO and other agencies, basically the bare essentials of what L had.
    However, since he's Kira, he deletes any information that L had that would be useful in uncovering his real identity (L's records of the investigation would qualify), so Light is not deleting everything in that scene, just the incriminating evidence, making it seem like those were unable to be recovered.
    This would explain all the apparent inconsistencies, and also explain why Light doesn't know about the Wammy's House or the successor program, as that information was unable to be recovered from Watari's deletion, thus making Watari's last act meaningful.

  • @joshuawhitaker2913

    I mean to defend killing the Youtseba group, they wouldn’t have found it sus because they knew Kira was in kahoots with them. So they would just assume Kira is tying loose ends. Right?

  • @PM-James
    @PM-James Před 2 měsíci +3

    I was under the impression Light killed the Yotsuba group exactly 13 days after Higuchi died in-order to provide proof of the 13 day rule. Not sure if that's the case but makes the most sense to me. All he'd have to do than is suggest Higuchi was controlling them by forcing them all to write at least one name every 13 days. If Light suggested that, there would be no way to prove that isn't the case and them all dying at the same time would seem to provide evidence that idea is correct.

  • @TheJadeFist
    @TheJadeFist Před 2 měsíci +4

    The "deleting the information" was a security precaution and intentionally misleading. L clearly had back ups of the information, it would explain Near and Mellow's ability to know more than one could deduce just from non specific information. They had to know more.
    But if you set it up to delete the data locally, while it's been otherwise remotely backed up some where, you're defending against the death notes ability to control some one's actions before they die, if they're instructed to delete information, then they would delete this local copy without access to a remote site, they couldn't delete the back up, and also it's a precaution of the person before death using that information, or even a failure to comply with the conditions of death stated by writing instructions the person can't actually physically accomplish (deleting remote data they don't have access to) and they would just die of a heart attack, partial conditions don't work, it's an all or nothing kind of thing.
    Proof, one of the criminals were supposed to write something on the wall that they couldn't know earlier on, and that was partially possible but they didn't attempt to write anything they simply died of a heart attack.
    So honestly, having the order to delete that information while there is a remote back up that is inaccessible to a specific person, gets around so many possible ways the death note could be used, while protecting that information. You could even have this type of nested security within your own network, it doesn't have be completely remote, just not accessible to an individual, ie: L could still have access to other files, that Watari didn't have access to, and vice versa. L too smart to not think of this, so I"m just going to head canon it in.

  • @MrEffectfilms
    @MrEffectfilms Před 2 měsíci +29

    4:48 I totally hear what you're saying and I can agree to an extent but it's important to note that Ryuzaki has been just as lucky, if not more so, than Light has been.
    A few examples. Light just happened to be watching TV at the time he had Lind L Taylor assume his identity, had Light just been doing homework or eating dinner or writing names in the notebook or literally anything else then the task force would never have caught him because they wouldn't have had a clue where he was. He just happened to already know Naomi before she went missing and knew her well enough to conclude that Kira must have killed her despite there being plenty of other reasonable explanations. Misa showing up was honestly more of a determent to Light than anything so that just happened to work out in Ryuzakis favor (yes this ultimately led to his death but he likely would have died MUCH sooner if they never showed up).
    There's more but the point is that Light didn't just get by due to luck and happenstance. If Light wasn't on Ryuzakis level of intelligence he would have been caught a long time ago.
    Also I don't want to sound insulting because your videos are great but I have to assume you don't know what a Deus Ex Machina is. A Deus Ex Machina is a previously unexplained, sudden solution to a character(s) problem that was never properly introduced or even hinted at before. Rem, by definition, does not fit that bill. You definitely seem to favor Ryuzaki over Light and that's cool, we all have our favorite characters but trying to downplay Light to make Ryuzaki look better is silly at best and disingenuous at worst.

    • @Zeronigel332
      @Zeronigel332 Před 2 měsíci +5

      Except not really, L reveal that Light was doing killings at a periodic time so he pretty much could figure out the timing from there and the broadcast could have stayed on for an hour before light took action as he also say he was going to cast the broadcast in not only other area in japan later.
      As for Naomi, that isn’t really luck; it’s said that him and Naomi have already been on a few cases together even to some extent consider her a friend or something close to one. L didn’t do all his cases alone.
      As for Misa showing up, no showing up was an extreme blessing at the time as L pretty much had Light cornered after the wire tapping(light failed it but L didn’t mention the reason (because Light father wasnt exactly trustworthy of what he may do if he kept pushing) being that Light was acting too much like a normal person which Light isn’t what Light.)

    • @overanalyzinganime
      @overanalyzinganime  Před 2 měsíci +14

      it's interesting - I... don't actually really like Ryuzaki all that much. it's interesting that multiple people have told me that, though. like I've been called a fanboy and I really don't feel like I am.
      it's more so that I just really dislike Light at various points throughout this story, and since Ryuzaki is basically the only one who sees Light for who he is, I guess it comes across like I'm just a big fan of Ryuzaki by default. lol. if anything I'm more a fan of Rem or Matsuda than I was a fan of Ryuzaki.

    • @lovelypanda8676
      @lovelypanda8676 Před 2 měsíci +3

      "despite there being plenty of other reasonable explanations"
      This is my biggest problem with L... I know the authors wanted him to close in on Light at a faster pace to make it more exciting, and Light's powers and only him knowing a rules was a huge unfair disadvantage for L. But the amount of times he had asspull conclusions that just so happened to be the right one is too much. Like when he concludes just from Light killing in the weekday afternoons and being childish that he could be a student. It's not unreasonable, my problem is that this is the ONLY conclusion he comes to, when having a 9 to 5 job and being childish as an adult is extremely common, and he doesn't even mention it as a possiblity. Another one is when he deduces that Kira is connected to the police just because he started manipulating the time of death right after the police concluded that he might be a student. As if there couldn't have been at least one or two other, completely valid explanations for this happening at that point in time that he should've at least mentioned. With the way he words it (MIGHT be a student), it's speculative, so he knows it's not certain but he only ever comes up with one logical explanation when there could be multiple, and it's always the correct one.

    It would be cool to, while analysing Mello abd Near s arc, also analise the manga, since the anime did dirty to this part of the manga.
    Also, a Lot of the stuff you Said "don't make Sense" have an answer in the manga, like a scene with Light activally trying to get restored as much information of the Kira case as possible (the ones deleted by Watari) instead of deleting more of It himself.

    So there is an in universe explanation as to why killing the Yotsuba people wouldn't bring suspicion onto Light. So the regular police did have some information in regards to the Kira investigation: Everything up till L took in the task force, and because Higuchi was apprehended with the assistance of the regular Japanese police, coupled with the public broadcast on Sakura TV, the fact that Higuchi was apprehended as a Kira suspect was known to the Japanese police. And building on something mentioned in a future episode, it is known to the task force that Kira could get information from the Japanese police. Since that information was well known to the Japanese police, if they even bothered to question why Yotusba people died, the excuse of Kira must of killed them because of Higuchi would make some sense. However the more likely explanation? They were really just that stupid to not even think about it.

    42:30 I think that this shows the utter incompetence of the task force.

But Iver and Weddy were criminals whose real identity was unknown to the media, nor had they made a deal with Kira like the people at Yotsuba. The task force should have indeed suspected Light again as soon as Weddy and Iver died.

    so to light's luck
    1. If ryuk wouldn't have told light about the FBi, Mr. Penber would just return a report and investigation would move on, there's 0 chances he would've found anything about light .
    2. Yes, meeting Naomi was lucky, but this is on L , he asked all taskforce members to come to the hotel and turn off their phones ( maybe , it's a bit shady how Aizawa returned not even 30 minutes later and the reception guy wasn't all like ... hey, crazy lady has kira info and she left with light).
    3. Even if Ryuk wouldn't check for cameras, Light would have gone under the assumtion he's been bugged, or do you think he'd just pick a random sopt in the house to write names and just hope no one is watching? he noticed them not ryuk.
    4. How is light Lucky for Misa? She is a happy go lucky person who got into trouble and gave away many clues while light was forced to always bail her out, also subserviant ? yes, fail to follow very easy instructions, also yes.
    5. Ryuk writing rules is not a big deal, let's be real here, Light knew or atleast asked if he would write them, before making a plan relying on it. If ryuk says no, then there will just be another plan.
    You tend to have this assumption that if the circumstances changed Light's actions would still be the same as they were in the anime, but it's not a fair Assumption;

In the server room you probably have a bunch of hard drives. These hard drives all store data on discs with electrons. When data is erased it isn't actually erased whether it is put on the computer as " free " storage. What it actually does Is it allows the day to be rewritten later. A lot of the times if unless you use a magnet or destroy the physical drive you can still recover most if not all data found on them.

      To be honest the whole thing could’ve worked out for Light if he never acted as confrontational as he did. Like he was so hell-bent on playing along with L’s game and eventually killing him, but if he just tried to solely evade attention he likely never would’ve been caught onto.

    If there is a NEW Kira, empowered by a Shinigami, the Shinigami could easily know about the details of the prior investigation. That would include a lot of surrounding details. If they're making a game of it, as every Kira has before- including Rem, or rather her actions could be spun that way since she didn't just massacre the lot of them- why not kill the bit players and leave the hunters around?
    Being a new Kira also tracks with the MASSIVE uptick in kills that follows Light winning, and the logic established previously in the investigation.

    I'm glad you pointed out how lucky Light was that things actually worked out in his favour, I sometimes see people who overlook that and say that his win means he is just straightup smarter, which I don't believe. Sure, his plan to kill L was genius, he pretty much cornered him, it's pretty heavily implied L knew he was about to die once he saw all the pieces, but couldn't do anything about it anyway. But you can't say L didn't get Light good a few times as well, especially the broadcast thing was similiarly pure genius. I believe they were about evenly matched, all things considered.
    I also think it's worth mentioning that Light and L weren't exactly playing the same game. Sure, "whoever's identity is revealed first, dies", but there's a key difference between them - L works on the side of the law, but Kira does not. L needs to:
    1. Sus out who Kira is.
    2. Gather enough evidence to convince the justice system.
    Light only needs to do step one, as he is the judge, jury and executioner of his side. If he thinks someone should die, they will - that's kind of the whole point. L, working within the law, has to convince other people Light is guilty, which can be an issue if the Task Force's reactions to L's arguments are any indication.
    Kind of ironic, that L could've won if only he shared Kira's ideology of just executing criminals by your own hand...
