Almost caught him as a killer DEATH NOTE PHONK Track from video: open.spotify.c... Playlist PHONK MOOD: open.spotify.c... #shorts #deathnote #animeedit
You're wrong about your statement that he almost caught him as a killer cause before light started checking the photos he had already established that he'll be suspicious if he got the deduction correct or not either way. If you look the end of the test light figures out that he wasn't testing his deduction skills but was trying to get an reaction by confusing him with the 4th photo which we both know light will never give for some tricks

The original Japanese line is "L did you know shinagami who eat nothing but apples" the sentence sounds like it isn't finished and any normal person would say this but Light doesn't because he knows there are only 3 notes. Also when presented with the 4th note light is more concerned about being right and seen as smart vs ask why did L withhold the 4th note. This shows light has a complex about winning and being right which fits kiras profile.

It was to expose his weakness. This is how L knew this. Go back to the episode where L questions the logic of this and explains that the owner can't be a God, but a human because a God does not succumb to these antics. He states that the user is that of a child in reasoning. This is also shown when Near defeats Light. He states that "he has confused himself." Mello also realized this. That was his weakness as well which was hindering the investigation. That hurt Light even more than being caught itself!

Because she could be easily manipulated and thus was attached to Light. Hence why Near indicates that Kira must be " one in the same". Because the task force is NAIVE.

L’s entire mentality as the worlds greatest detective operates under the phrase “consider the possibility…” He considered so many, and followed leads whenever he could with those considerations. But with his limited information, he failed to guess his move to check the 13 day rule would lead Rem to kill him. With what he was given, he would expect that shinigami don’t care about their humans. He was aware that there were two notes, and that each had a shinigami, but he would have had to predict Misa’s shinigami would rather die than see her die, and he’d have to somehow communicate to Rem he wouldn’t execute Misa.

Alright, I've seen a lot of comments completely, meat riding L and not being fair at all to Light, saying things like L is far smarter than Light, and it isn't even remotely close, etc etc etc and so I found somebody on Quora who is actually being more fair to Light it is written by Valor Stein: People who watch the series tend to overestimate the idea that L is smarter than Light solely based on the premise that Light had an advantage with his Shinigami powers. That, however, does not factor into the equation, or the ultimate outcome. Just as Light had Shinigami powers, he had restrictions on him- He needed the a name and the face of the individual in order to kill somebody. Furthermore, since he wanted to live longer, he played the game of Shinigami in difficult mode, without being able to access one’s names and faces directly. L, on the other hand, had power over all the police in Japan,FBI, and such. In terms of research, investigation, espionage (cameras and bugging devices) and etc., he had quasi-omnipotent power to prove that Light was Kira. Therefore, if we consider things from this perspective, we will realize that L was not so poweless in comparison to Light, as even though Light had the powers of the Shinigami, he had restrictions on him which incapacitated him from killing L directly (which then would be a direct advantage). L’s thought pattern which lead to Light being the only suspect was terrifying. His deduction that Yagami was Kira was based solely on the evidences that NO one else could have been, given how FBI characters were the ones being targeted. However, even though he knew Light was Kira, let’s not forget how LIGHT plays out in all of this. L, throughout the whole series, sets up traps and tests Light Yagami. He blatantly states that he is L in front of Kira in order to get a reaction, tests him in a tennis game, tells him to become the successor of L in case he dies, and such. With all these traps, he believes that he may reveal that Light is Kira. Now, L is not only appealing to evidences and logic. He is appealing to see the micro expressions of the individual to his questions. That is something you barely can control, unless you are in the right mindset. Therefore, in order to overcome the traps set up by a highly intelligent person, you would have to have equivalent or higher intelligence to not fall for those. Light did exactly that. Not only has he kept his calm, firm posture when being taunted to L (who was in a much safer spot to be himself and act as he wishes), but also answered the questions in a manner that would be impossible to say that he was Kira. With this in mind, we can not only deduct that Light is incredibly intelligent in its contingency planning, but emotionally as well. Although he inevitably left clues that he might be Kira, he did not leave any PROSECUTABLE evidence that he could be Kira. In his room, he acted with perfection to show he was nothing but a student, utilized the death notes rules to its maximum extent, and so on. His execution was immaculate and PERFECT. To the point that not even L could prosecute him (as his plans were just too perfect, flawless, to leave a trace or clue of his endeavors). Let’s not deprive the fact that Light was also capable of manipulating a Shinigami into working for him. Furthermore, the shinigami is not a dumb one. It is Rem. Light managed to maneuver Rem before it could even realize it was being manipulated. The second Rem realized that Light had already masterminded his death, he also understood how cunningly he had set up the trap so that both L (which is immune to Light since he does not possess the eyes to see his name) and Rem (who could kill Light at any point given that he is a shinigami) would exterminate each other, which were at the moment Light’s biggest threats. The only way to kill L without being suspicious would be to utilize the Shinigami. The only way to kill the shinigami would have to be forcing the Shinigami to die for someone else. Kira took advantage of both of these weaknesses to kill two birds with a single stone. Furthermore, it would be ludicrous to not mention how he masterminded his plan to be seen as innocent. To prove himself to be innocent, he realized that he would have to make himself literally innocent. How would he do that? Simple. By literally being innocent. By erasing everything he has done, and forgetting about it. So, he plans a few kills weeks before he erases his memories, tells himself that he will be locked up so that deaths will still occur while he is locked up (showing that he is not Kira), understands that L is really good at reading others people intentions and therefore would be fooled by the oblivious Light, instructs the Shinigami to give the book to a greedy, power hungry individual, predicts that Light himself will be freed of prison due to the lack of proofs by L, which therefore leads to himself assisting L in finding ‘’Kira’’, leading to the arrest of Higuchi, which means that the Death Note would be taken from him and therefore end up in L’s hand, which would therefore end up in Light’s hand, which then leads to him recovering the memories at the exact moment when Higuchi is being imprisoned, which leads to him predicting that he would utilize the same watch which would contain a piece of the death note that would allow him to kill Higuchi. Not only he manages to predict how L and everyone else will react, he reads HIMSELF into the future, 100 steps ahead. There has no been any showcase that L has contrived as meticulously as Light has. At the end of the series, it is also apparent how Light’s intelligence is superior to L. When Light was exposed to be Kira at the end, Near said that himself plus Mello would be enough to pass L. This implies that Light was exposed due to intelligence of both, which if combined, were superior to that of L’s. However, let’s not undermine the fact that Light’s plan, in its purest form, did NOT fail. He predicted accurately what Near would do, exactly. Light, before Near himself thought about it, predicted that the latter would end up deducting that Takami would be the best fit to fulfill Kira’s wishes. Thus, realizing that Near was going to change the papers of the Death Note for fake ones, told him to create a fake death note and start annotating on it. All while pretending to not have realized that Light was aware of Near’s actions. How ridiculous that is? Had Takami not acted on his own and killed the woman (which Light told him over and over not do), the SPK would have not realized that Light had created a fake death note and that would result in all members of the SPK and everyone else opposing Kira getting assassinated. Light’s supreme, uncontested sagacity and ability to read into the future 100 steps ahead of anybody else, and into all all individuals minds, is unrivaled throughout the series. The epitome of masterminding. Light Yagami, without a doubt, is the most perspicacious. Had the author not decided that his evil endeavors would have to end, he would have certainly lived and reigned as Kira. Once again, this wasnt written by me and it was on Quora, written by Valor Stein all credits are due to him.

Besides that, people love to claim "L won here" in certain points, yet that's simply not true. L caught Light a bunch of times, but these never were enough to expose him. I personally believe both are equally intelligent, with L maybe being smarter due to being more experienced and being able to come to conclusions for unexplainable things in the eyes of a normal person and normal logic. Besides that, the whole point of Death Note is the mental battle between two highly intelligent young men, with both having different assets and weaknesses that balance each other out somewhat and make it more interesting. The story was quick to move on from L trying to figure out WHO Kira is because the main event is the duel, the HOW Kira kills and HOW L can prove it, as arrogance isn't just Light's weakness, but also L's. L plays by his rules which necessitate Light to be alive and for L to figure out the killing method to properly convict him. Additionally, L took a gamble by directly showing his face and coming into direct contact with Kira, which however worked as a safety net where keeping his enemy closer than his friends forced Light to orchestrate his assassination in a way that couldn't get him framed. In this game, winning guerrillas alone doesn't lead to winning the war, and both were aware of this, which makes me think neither was that far away intelligence-wise.

@@manunova5929well I would say that Light wasn't actually as smart as L, because of some big mistakes he made. That should have, if it wasn't for his luck, get him arrested. The clearest example of this is when he killed the FBI agents. Ray Penber should have reported that his identity was compromised when gave Light is ID. Any competent FBI agent would have done that, Light was lucky he didn't. As he would instantly been tied to the FBI agents deaths if he had. He also incredibly lucky that Naomi was at the police station just as he happened to be there, and he just happened to overhear information Naomi had, so that he could kill her and avoid being exposed. He's also incredibly lucky that it was snowing so Aizawa just happened to not see Light and Naomi together. Killing the FBI agents was a huge blunder by Light, and he was barely able to not expose himself by dumb luck.

For those like me who didn't get it the first time: In the Anime, the photos L handed to Light are numbered 1, 2, and 4. The game that L was pulling was to see if Light would've noticed the numbers. If you were any other person, you would have looked at the front and back of the photos, saw the missing number, and asked for the fourth picture. Light, of course, wrote the notes. He knew that there *was* no fourth note. Light's mistake was that he was too confident, he didn't even hesitate to boast about the message and what it could mean. L forged the 4th photo because he was betting that Kira would be overconfident and explain the exact right solution, something only Kira would know. While it isn't physical evidence to lock L up, he was only fishing to see if Light was indeed Kira.

And once again Light failed to consider that this might be replaced too. Near's deduction was perfect, while Light's was not.

I am not claiming to know anyone's culture but I feel like it is a bad Even someone as fearless as L reacted in a puzzled manner a few times while Light was just like yeah it is another tuesday and he just assumes there are three cards. The only time Light really reacts however is when someone questions him on his decisions or competes with him and that gave it away big time. L is not only a genius when it comes to IQ but rather he is also able to read people and how they behave and Light just fits the bill as he is the only guy in the ball park of L's intellect and doesn't like losing.

This was literally Near. Near explained to his people that all they needed to do was kill Light, and if the killings stopped, then they knew they had the right guy. And if the killings kept going, then they could make an excuse or apology to the friends and family. But Near ultimately didn't go with this solution because he had too much pride to catch Light in the act. He wanted the evidence and watch Light's empire fall to pieces, which is what happened in the end. L was also willing to go to such lengths but Light's father and police force were always skeptical and got in L's way every time. As soon as Light's dad died, it opened the case wide open and allowed everyone to switch sides and divulge crucial details that heavily limited Light's movements and cornered him. All in all, Light, L, and Near were extremely prideful to not lose a game of chicken by killing the other players. Mello also had pride, but willingly made a move that could potentially get himself killed if it meant he could save Near and in turn Near could beat Light.

Most people don't understand this scene, and it's partially the fault of the anime adaptation and the English translation. In the original manga scene, in the Japanese version, L gave Light 3 notes, that contained the original message hidden by Yagami. But L gave them in a specific order and added numbers on the back of the cards. Because of the neat way Japanese language forms sentences, the message read *"L, did you know gods of death, who eat nothing but apples...".* In the way that L gave cards to Yagami, the sentence was unfinished and suggested a continuation. But Light, instead of reading the message as anyone else would, being the original writer of the secret message, rearranged the cards, to fit the sentence that he himself intended, which read *"L, did you know, that gods of death eat nothing but apples?"* That is what reassured L in his suspicions against Light.

It’s been nearly a decade since I watched Death Note and I agree with the sentiment on the comment that L is smarter than Light. But this has got to be one of the weakest “traps” L set up for Kira because reacting the way Light did would not necessarily incriminate him as Kira. Imagine if you were in Light’s shoes, just as smart but innocent, and you were trying to figure out who Kira is. You get a bunch of document evidence, you study them, and try to make sense of it. Then you notice a pattern or a secret message. You then show your finding to your boss and instead of telling you you’re wrong, and that there was actually more evidence that was just found, he accuses you of being the criminal. Imagine if every detective become reluctant to work with limited evidence because if they get it wrong, they become guilty of the crime they’re trying to solve. It’s pretty common to work with limited evidence and to collect more as cases progress. Finding ALL the evidence for a case is also probably unlikely or impossible in most situations.

l continuously outsmarted light well l have more expirrence than light but in the end light made perfect plan without any mistakes and he won but i think both are equal. well some of you guya say if l had that death note he will easly beat light and that's right but if light had l's expirence he would have also beat l easly

well you're simply wrong. it was never light vs L. it was rather Light Misa 2 shinigami 2 Death note vs L. also if you think about this scene it shows that L told light that he couldn't figure out that there was a 4th letter showing this is what he put L in. L couldn't figure out all that supernatural stuff just same. and if Light ever was smarter than L he would never get defeated to Near that easily. L paved the path for Near to get to Light

Light's overconfidence and arrogance is what caused his demise

I just realized that this moment connects the fact that L has always known when to believe that there’s another “note” a.k.a Kira.

The only thing I hated about the show is the fact L just knew Light was Kira with absolutely 0 proof. He was too stubborn to change his mind, anyone would’ve stopped suspecting light right from the start but the script demanded L knee Light was Kira from episode 1.

He used mind tricks, such as the clip in the video. Also somehow coincidentally a genius that might be able to access the police station doesn't have a possibility for a genius killer who somehow always knows what the police are doing? And also lives where Kira is suspected to be? And somehow already clear when he put cameras in his house? Also the way he speaks is too calculated, too planned, as if he's being careful. Pretty damn suspicious to me.

@@thebookwithmanycoversHe definitely had every reason to suspect Light after this scene. But what sounded too far-fetched and ridiculous to me about this whole show is how L literally started exclusively investigating Light and dropped the investigation on everyone and everwhere else because Light appeared to be "suspiciously innocent" when they installed hidden cameras in his room and found nothing.
@thebookwithmanycovers Жыл бұрын
@@absolutivaly I mean you're more likely to investigate on someone you're already doubting on. Like how you are more likely to blame someone for something because they were accused of something. And also isn't it suspicious that Light didn't even listen to the news about the criminals on the very first day?

I mean in the starting there were limited suspect as only police detective families were in suspicion and among all of them light was shining too brightly being the smartest.L wasn't stupid to judge a person just bcoz they looked like a good person.Thats why he was suspicious of him since the starting.Specially bcoz light didn't looked like a person with brain ability limited to a high schooler

I totally understand your frustrations, and for the most part you're right, however, I think that IS the point of this character dynamic, early on L described Kira as someone "childish" and "hates to lose" and in this scene that shines through with Light's character and what's even more brilliant just like how Light didn't know about the 4th note, from L's perspective he doesn't know about the other piece of the puzzle AKA the Death Note itself.

In my opinion Light was way smarter than L because it was too difficult to cover up a lie which was obvious to L. From the start L knew Light was Kira but wanted to find more evidence and Light had to constantly play games like he did by abandoning the death note. Light is definitely the smartest in Death Note.
