Imagine Light writing anything different than the heart attack for the death cause and freaking out while Goku tanks 30 busses and 4 planes crashing into him without even moving.
@@lonkstakeshere's the better one: imagine light seeing goku dodging 500 bullets per second coming from 30 snipers and walking TO light at the time in base just to make the meanest slap in history, all while light is panicking and running for his life
@@michaelmayers3622 No you are wrong. If both the cause and the conditions are impossible, that victim will die of a heart attack. So no matter what Light writes for Goku, will no work, and he will just have a heart attack. Which does nothing because Goku can heal from a crushed heart.
Light would be flabbergasted once he killed Goku and a few moments later he's back cuz Death in db verse is basically just a vacation to King Kai's planet
Plus Goku would still have a body and theoretically could teleport back to Earth and kill Light anyways lol. Even If somehow Goku could not come back he could still probably still smoke Light.
Well Gokus a special case When you die, you reincarnate and your orginal soul and identity are diluted, as seen with Uub and how the dragons needed living bodies to return the deceased souls during King Piccolos Arc, Earth in the Buu Saga, as well as everyone who died on Namek in the Freeza saga. Everyone who either didnt meet the wish criteria, OR had their bodies destroyed and were already reincarnated couldnt be wished back, or as with the Buu saga, Porunga needed to physically bring back the bodies THEN transfer the souls for everyone kid buu killed. The thing is Goku was also supposed to go through that, but Kami intervened so he could reach Snake Way. And his second death, he was ALREADY in otherworld, so he kinda skipped the whole reincarnationa nd soul cleansing debacle. So if Goku ever dies again, unless some specific event happens again, hes not getting special treatment and will reincarnate as someone else somewhere in the universe.
@@harpybeagle4931 As Far as i Remember only bad people Get reincarnated. Good people Go to Heaven. But FIGHTERS like Goku Get to keep their bodies and keep fighting for eternity. So no It wasnt Kami who made Goku have a body. Goku gets to keep his body because like other warriors he has earned that privilege. So no, If Goku dies again, like he did in the Cell Games, he will just keep training with King Kai Forever.
@@thegodofsaiyans535 Good point, but its kinda refuted by the fact that its an anime-only thing. Everyone in dragon ball undergoes reincarnation, its just the case you have super evil dudes who need intensive soul cleansing to become good people. For example, the ogres are anime-filler only and dont appear in the original manga, as well as neither the ideas that Goku was allowed to keep his body after death also only appeared in filler. Which is also contradicted that the filler also shows villains like the Ginyu force keeping their bodies in hell. As far as the series has been consistent with SOME things lol, its that alot of DBZ cosmology borrows from Buddhism, as such every character is assumedly going through traditional Buddhist interpretation of reincarnation. All the canon events of death, and resurrection support this from 1.) Needing a body for resurrections (King Piccolo Saga- the deceased Z Fighters were specifically mentioned as resurrected bc their bodies were kept in good shape, Resurrection F- when Frieza was revived it was in the pieces Trunks cut him into Gokus deaths all had him skip important aspects of reincarnating Moro Arc- Merus keeping his soul and identity required special intervention from the Grand Priest Buu Saga- Porunga said resurrecting Kid Buus victims could take time, implying he needed to resurrect each individual killed one by one, as well as Gokus wish implying had he not asked King Yemma for his favour, Kid Buu would have taken a much longer route to reincarnating via soul cleansing 2.) Bodies aren’t kept in the afterlife, everyone who canonically lives in Other world is an actual denizen maintaining the place, while deceased souls are only seen as the anonymous ghost blobs, with Goku again skipping the process when he died bc of special circumstances 3.) Besides Hakai, souls cannot be destroyed and merely transfer from a physical plane to a spiritual one, before returning back as a new identity 4.) Unique resurrections like Babas interventions with Grandpa Gohan, Goku, Vegeta and Freeza are contractual given the actual thing keeping them alive is a limited source of currency so to speak, so as seen w Grandpa Gohan, the process returns back to normal once its done
Guko could die in heart disease that's why future trunks go to the past, I mean it's possible goku might die using death note due the the default cause is heart attack
I feel like as soon as shenron or anyone else gives vegeta a name and location, hes BOLTING it over to smack light silly. Would probably get to him before goku too
Honestly there could be a debate that he would not destroy the death Note but he would probably destroy the death Note I mean sure they could kill the major enemies with it but at the end of the day Goku and Vegeta are about that life he would probably just blow up lights house with a big bang attack it wouldn't even care he destroyed the death Note
Bro he’s a guy who’s a little smarter then a few people with a note book to kill people I mean heck I mean if any of us had the death note and all we had to do was right Goku’a name and have his face in mind while writing we could kill him
I think instead of killing Kira, Goku would just destroy the Death Note since Kira's just a teenager. He'd probably also revive everyone that Kira killed with the Death Note.
@@theendofthestart8179 cause Goku actually has a support network of people he’s helped out and befriended. Light only has Ryuk who’s only in this for the laughs and later Misa.
Light basically has no chance, and you are accurate in your analysis. However, there are three things I don’t think you accounted for. 1. Light could have Gohan and Piccolo state Goku’s true name since they know it and light is aware that he needs it 2. Vegeta was at the Cell games and possibly could said Kakarot in his usual loud fashion, allowing the camera to pick it up (I’m not rereading to verify) 3. King Kai would notice the random deaths far before Light kills Gohan or Piccolo and could use the same methods you described that Goku could use to find light. This would probably involve the namekian dragon balls Bonus: Perhaps Beerus, Whis, or. Supreme Kai would know about Ryuk
I'm pretty sure also Dende, like Kami before him, can see everything on Earth with the Omniscient vision on the Lookout. Just so many superfluous layers of defense for Goku
Well, at least he'd have to be very specific about how he manipulates Gohan and Piccolo. Even if he asked them his "true" name, as far as they're concerned, Son Goku always has been and will be his name. Vegeta is the only Z-Fighter who considers "Kakarot" to be Goku's actual name.
Light would not think about asking about Goku's alien name, so Gohan and Piccolo would just say Goku, especially since as far as they're concerned, that is what it is, unlike Vegeta.
I love it how Goku already won within the first 3min. And the rules of the Death Notes had to be altered and the canon of the show had to be ignored to give Kira a fighting chance
To be fair the only rule that needs to be Altered is that Goku isn't a human, but he was killed by a heart disease in another timeline so the death note should be able to effect him in a similar way if his name is writen In it.
Let's see, Goku isn't his birth name so he could never learn his true name. Any death besides heart attack could work unless goku is fast enough (he is) to restart his own heart. He's not human, it doesn't affect him too. Suiccide is the only option that might work assuming everything else I said is void. So...yeah Kira is not winning lol
@@theendofthestart8179 He would probably open a dojo until the Kira cult starts gaining speed and then start speaking against them. I don't see how Goku would or could be involved in the investigation, especially since he's not good at things like that.
Piccolo became the Nameless Namekian after he fused with Kami, and even says himself he's forgotten his true name. Light would have to target Gohan, which wouldn't be hard with these modified rules because Gohan is a scholar who has published research paper. He's still cooked regardless though.
"At 10am Vegeta goes to visit Goku and do a fight to the death with him, Vegeta dies at 6pm of that day" It fails because even being controlled Vegeta refuses to see Kakarot as Goku
@@AverageFrenchPerson If someone that isn't a multiverse-buster killed Gohan I think Chi-Chi would kill them first. Or Piccolo. Or Krillin. Or like.. literally any Z-Fighter that's not Tien or Chiotzu.
@@theendofthestart8179 even if you say Piccolo Is more of a dad to gohan, the second part doesn’t help. The Dragon Balls(With the Exception of the Super Ones) Can’t revive a Being erased by a power higher than them(because the video stated that the killing power is on the level of zeno)
But that's a really good question about the death note. What constitutes a name? For example , let's say you've got Jeffery , Jeffery's parents, family, friends, coworkers all call him Jeff. He introduces himself as Jeff, the only place he is Jeffery is on legal documents. So, would Jeff work in the death note, assuming you are thinking of him? If it does, Son Goku would also function in the death note the same way Regardless, the book says Human, he's a Saiyan , so.
@@SolluxDivideIt shouldn't because everyone calls L - Ryuzaki. And it doesn't work if you write Ryuzaki. So, real name does matter more than how someone calls you in your everyday life.
@@SolluxDivide Abbreviations or nicknames or alter egos aren't sufficient enough for the death note, you need the full name given at birth. So Jeff wouldn't be enough.
1:42 Thank you I said about Goku not being human on the poll you did and it seemed like nobody googled the rules they just said “well he’s mortal so it would still work”
another thing with the death note specifically needing to write their original name is that kakarot is spelled in an alien language that Light will have absolutley 0 way of discovering, so even if he where to learn that his real name is kakarot he would still be unable to write it
@@lazm9379 Bulma had to translate the text on the scouter to something that she could read, so it is established that saiyan language is different from earths
honestly, i don't even think light would even get the chance to consider the z-fighters a threat before goku suddenly shows up in his room, goes "woah, you're just some kid? :o" and plucks the death note straight out of light's hand while telling him he shouldn't be messing with such dangerous things. after all, dragonball's afterlife is strongly based off of a mix of the chinese and japanese afterlife, which means shinigami are ... y'know, _employees._ ryuk dropping the death note in front of light would be a _major_ case of an employee going rogue, and it wouldn't take long for a higher up like enma to notice that a new arrival was brought to him by a shinigami's power without the proper bureaucracy, and that would _immediately_ sound the alarms. so kira would probably get like two or three kills at most while he's still feeling out the death note, then get stopped in his tracks after king kai gets goku to investigate any signs of a rogue shinigami on earth it's possible that _someone_ in the dragonball universe could be handed a death note and have the techniques and knowledge of the cosmology to properly avoid detection while using it, but a prep school kid who just so happened to stumble upon a bored shinigami's game? yeah, dude's getting caught and disarmed p. much eventually that just leaves the real question: how hard is _ryuk_ getting punched for setting in motion the ( incredibly short-lived ) kira case solely because he was bored?
why didnt goku just magic find the cell larvae and destory it? or any of the androids while they were being made, or any of the villians who managed to use the dragon balls? goku cant just magic locate random japanese teens at will.
You are also unfairly pinning JUST LIGHT against the entire DBZ universe, why is light uniquely alone in this scenario? afriad that Goku would probably let Misa right his name just to test his strength (as seen when he literally let himself die to hit)
@@theendofthestart8179 that is a comparison you can make, yes. i'm not sure it actually _means_ anything in this context, but you can indeed compare the lengths of two periods of time either way, that's not exactly a _short_ timeframe, and it comes about because light recognizes the need for the shinigami eyes because of, y'know, l, means he recognizes it because a. l's public announcement of tracking down kira and b. his _numerous encounters with l face-to-face._ without the latter of which, the shinigami eyes wouldn't be all that useful anyway. so it's questionable if misa would even enter the picture at all, she'd probably end up coming into play later even if she did, and even the same pace would give the z-fighters plenty of time to track down a rogue shinigami hanging out in a major population center. especially since i doubt shinigami ki blends in well with human ki hell. something i didn't even consider: dende. the lookout might not let him see absolutely _everything_ going on on earth, but he'd be one of the first the celestial bureaucracy would call in a situation like this and spotting a shinigami trailing behind a random kid on his way to prep school doesn't even come close to a stretch. maybe ryuk would have the sense to not stay around light as much as he does in death note, but ... he's also ryuk, and his entire motivation doing shit and seeing what happens, so he'd likely only do that if light convinced him not to follow him around. which, like. why would he do that. ryuk is full of useful information and he'd have no idea about the jolly green man in the sky who spends his days doing nothing but people watch, so without the opportunity and time to learn more about the world's supernatural elements, there'd be no reason to tell the invisible emo man to not follow him around there's a reason why androids not having ki to sense and dr. gero doing everything in his hidden lab in the middle of bumfuck nowhere were such key details in the android saga. there's ways to get away with shit under everyone's noses, absolutely, but it involves covering a _lot_ of bases that some bored honor student would have no way of knowing about
Its so funny how Goku is such a hard counter for Light Yagami even without his raw power. Even with breaking the rules of the Death Note to fit this scenario and allowing it to kill an alien, Goku's identity still hard stops Yagami which is funny when you consider how dumb Goku is.
The only way I can see Light winning is if for some odd reason, the Death note uses Son Goku as a name over Kakarot since Son Goku is his "human" name and kakarot is his saiyan name.
@@ishowslow5044however the death note doesn’t care it wants the true name like say I was born a girl but transitioned to a male the death note doesn’t want my male name but my birth name
@@levievil9220 ik, I was making the point that since the death note revolves around human deaths (not just death in general) that it would only accept Gokus human name over his saiyan name.
It honestly is just dumb to even think Light would stand a chance given how the general "Human" public/society is isolated from the more magical aspects of the Dragon Ball world. Light COULD potentially go to places like Bulma's house as a vistor or as a mechanic intern trip or something to get the Dragon Radar, but something tells me that Light's ego would get in the way of even thinking of such things. Even if he got the Dragon Balls, with the lack of information about the afterlife, it's a stretch to say he would ask for anything other than "Kill Son Goku" in this instance, and that's completely out of Shenron's capability. Shenron would state it as such, and Goku and the gang would've noticed Shenron being summoned by then and come. Any and everything Light can do in this instance can be sensed or deduced immediately.
it seems unfair that we are pitting baby light against a modern stories goku, while also in the dragon ball universe. (this is because this is the only way for goku to easily win)
@@theendofthestart8179 I mean, this is a pretty unconventional what if anyways. We are even giving Light so many benefits of the doubts. We are making the scenario that Light wants to kill and knows the existance of Goku, Goku not having any idea that Light wants to kill him, assuming that the Death Note works on Goku despite showing that with enough power in Dragon Ball hacks can and will be nullified and that killing Goku is the winning point for Light despite the afterlife and reincarnation/revival being massive plot points in Dragon Ball. This shouldn't even be a discussion in the first place since the verses are so far apart in common senses and general rules.
@@marethyumoros1741 See im just and advocate for fair discussion, I do still think goku wins, I just think there where he wins is the "despite the afterlife and reincarnation/revival being massive plot points in Dragon Ball." part
Another interesting thing to consider is Ryuk's Ki. I would assume that Shinigami have a very unique Ki and that several characters might try to investigate this strange new source of Ki. Goku for example might do so out of pure curiosity, Piccolo because he wants to gauge how dangerous the being possessing this Ki is, etc. Though it is also entirely possible that you wouldn't be able to sense Ryuk's Ki if you haven't touched his Death Note, considering you can't see or hear him without doing so.
@@thethingoidif it is then two things will happen goku will either think light is insanely strong or 2 light has ki so he can sense the intent and what I mean by the first part is goku would presume light would have something above god ki because god ki makes it so other people can’t sense it
@@thethingoidNearly everyone has ki except for the Androids. With how malicious Light is I wouldn’t be surprised if Goku managed to pick up some bad vibes off him despite how minuscule Light’s ki signature is or how friendly he makes himself to be
Amazing content. DB Z introduced me into the genre. I was so close to visiting Japan one point myself. I had experience with MoCap and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit the place that inspired artists like Toriyama San. R.I.P.
Gohan and Piccolo both know that Kakkarot is Goku’s birth name. So if Lignt is very specific in how he manipulates/kills them, he can get them to reveal the “true birth name of the first fighter to face Cell in the Cell Games,” which will make them say “Kakkarot,” not Goku, and he wins. But because Light has no reason to believe Goku would use a pseudonym, it’s highly unlikely.
It’s funny this is kind of like L vs Light. Light had hell of hax compared to L (having invisible gods of death and super natural abilities). And Goku literally has a wish granting dragon that could give him any info. Or heck even zuno.
Short version - No. if Light can learn the Saiyan writing system, yes. But that relies on him getting Vegeta to teach him (or him somehow getting the higher beings - Kais and Angels- to show him a written version of "Kakorot")
Keep in mind, mind control resistance exists to an extent in the Dragon World, with Vegeta only being able to be possessed due to allowing it. You'd have to assume the Death Note exceeds the magic capabilities of Babidi, which rivals the magic of the Supreme Kais.
@@CERISTHEDEV how would vegeta know to nuke japan? and I dont think the z-fighters would let him kill THAT many innocents... though they may not be able to stop him hmmm
I thought about that too. It would be possible. The trouble is that Goku could discover and kill Light before anything happens(40s lol). Also even If for the sake of argument Goku could not come back to life through some method. He still has a body in the afterlife and could theoretically come back and smoke Light.
Nope... Even though the Saiyans spoke English/Japanese they didn't use the Latin Alphabet... or Japanese characters... they used an Alien Alphabet Bulma had to decode. Therefore... He wouldn't be able to spell Goku's Saiyan Name correctly and it wouldn't work. The Death note states after misspelling someone's name four times they cant be killed with the Death Note anymore.
Even if Light played things extremely close to the chest and somehow found out the name of all the Z-Fighters before taking them all out at the same time, he'd also need to include all the allies capable of summoning the dragon and asking for a wish. Otherwise, it's a short-term victory.
Light: hey so ur the person with powers. Goku: hehe, yeah! My name is Son Goku. Light: oh... I'll just write that down so I remember. 40 seconds pass Light: (?!) Hey, so is that ur nickname or something? Goku: well no, but my friends call me Kakarot. Light: oh interesting.. *writes it down* Light: well I have to go now, it was nice meeting you. (The end)
3:57 it might’ve been an anime filler scene, but goku goes back to the battleground after beating demon king piccolo to get the power pole, and paparazzi take pictures of him. They would be able to connect the face to the finals of the 3 world martial arts tournaments in ogdb
The one flaw I see with this isn't really even part of the video, just the idea that, assuming the death note works on Goku in the first place and then also saying "but he could survive a heart attack so it might not even kill him the first time." isn't really how the death note works. A human *could* survive a heart attack, Car Accident, gunshot wound, just like Goku *could* survive a heart attack. When any of those things are creates by the death note they don't. This is because the death note functions on different hax than just "causing a heart attack". It can be fate hax, mind hax, death hax, etc. Everything else in the video was great though.
The ONLY way I can see Light winning is in this very specific set of circumstances: 1. Light kills Piccolo SPECIFICALLY in a way that both allows himself to know the name of Son Goku AND looks like an accident to the Z-Fighters. Therefore making it so Goku and the gang don't ask anybody why Piccolo died. (The only way I imagine this can happen is if he makes Piccolo tell the camera during the Cell Games Goku's full name, and then have him try and kill Cell.) 2. Light Yamgami tries to kill "Son Goku", just for it to not work because that isn't his "true name". He then tries to figure out any person's name and face related to Son Goku. 3. This leads Light to instruct Son Gohan to reveal it (since Light knows Gohan's face and name from the Cell Games.) and die somehow. (Ex: Come to Light Yamgami's location, say all the names Son Goku is called by, then fly into the sun.) 4. Light Yagami does all of this without any Z-fighters finding out before he kills Goku, or else a version of Future Trunks will come to the timeline and kill Light himself.
Dende is the guardian of earth. He'd see people dying randomly of heart attacks and would get suspicious. Common folk in the dbz universe know about the guardian of earth. He'd tell Goku, they'd figure out where he is and he's donezo.
Im pretty sure in the original japanese, valid targets for the Death Note are "ningen", which has often been translated in other works to "mortal" not "human", so Goku can probably be targeted by the Death Note. And honestly, if a heart virus can kill Goku i feel like a heart attack could also get the job done. Light could also just write Suicide and have Goku ki blast his own head off. Honestly the biggest hurdle is the name; Vegeta is the only person on the planet who calls him Kakarrot, and there is an open question regarding spelling the name. The Saiyans probably had a completely alien alphabet, and again the only person who might even theoretically remember it is Vegeta. Shinigami Eyes are mandatory to pull out a win here, but with them its easy ggs
Yes I agree, its more like "people" than "human" The heart virus kill a pre-cell goku, he is much stronger now inside and out, but I still think the book would do the trick, especially with the self inflicted. I think its important to remember that light is canonically smarter than you and me, and would be able to come up with a plan neither of us can ever think of.
@@theendofthestart8179 honestly if Misa is in play, Light just automatically wins. The Cell Game footage is available to the public, and the Shinigami Eyes have been shown to work through cameras
@@heatran1919 Indeed, and although this heavily biased video for some reason is pitting start of the show Light vs modern goku, I think thats fucking stupid and that light should have access to both misa AND Teru Mikami. heck id even give him the post-L japanese task force. I think goku would unironically be cooked if light is only trying to kill him. The biggest problem for light is that death doesnt really stop goku...
I agree that this video is incredibly biased but I still think it's hypothetically possible that goku might just be too strong for the death note to work.
I think Kira could write in a new strain of the Heart Virus which did debilitate Goku, and then a horrible accident on top of it, if he knows to look for it. If he gets Vegeta to tell him the information instead of say, Piccolo, he could inadvertently get the right name.
Honestly, he could probably pull it off if he plays his cards right. If he's able to get close to the Z-Fighters, he might just overhear Vegeta referring to Goku as "Kakarot", so he'll be able to use both names just in case one or the other is the real deal. You know how he wiped his own memories to get closer to L? Kinda like that, just without the memory wipe part.
Jaco has the information Light needs. Name, Face and how to spell it as it will all be on the Galactic Patrol database. Light getting to Jaco and knowing that's his best shot is very unlikely.
What about this? light uses the death note to control a random person, he writes “X leaves a piece of the death note under a rock on at Y location before going somewhere and killing themselves in a place that won’t be found for weeks” then light once that piece of note is at Y location, and he has never been there it is unable to be traced back to him. He would then use his notebook again and write “Son Gohan (this can be anyone who knows Goku’s birth name) will conceal fly to Y location where he will write the true birth name given to Goku followed by “suicide in 40 seconds” while picturing his face in his mind, and then will stand still for a full minute before committing suicide”
@theendofthestart8179 All the dragon ball characters consider Goku to be Goku's true brith name. That suggestion may work with Vegeta. However, no one knows Vegeta's full name. (Which is Prince Vegeta IV.)
I think Light has a better chance just walking up to anyone in the zfighters and just straight up asking for their real name and come up with a random reason as to why he needs it.
Let's ignore the possibility of outside interference. Ryuk fucks off somewhere, the Dragon Balls are in another castle, Bulma is on a space cruise with every main character except Goku. The actual wrinkle here is the specific laws of the Death Note. See, if Goku can be affected by the Death Note at all, then it's a done deal once Light has all the information. If Light tries to kneecap himself by writing a death method that won't work on Goku, the Death Note will just rule that to be impossible and proceed with a heart attack death, which will definitely work. The real issue with the Death Note is that it doesn't work on aliens. The laws of the Death Note specify that it targets humans. Saiyans aren't a listed factor, and would therefore be immune. Now, Death Note fans might respond that thr King of Death could simply add a rule that lets it affect nonhuman sentient species. I, however, would argue that if the King of Death is allowed to update the rules of the Death Note, then Beerus is allowed to track down Light and annihilate his body and soul in their entirety. No outside interference means that we have to stick to the laws of the Death Note as written, and as written, Saiyans can't be targeted.
"The laws of the Death Note specify that it targets humans" is arguably just a translation error, the original text more closely says "person" it just never mattered.
The only way I can see Light succeeding is with the use of the Dragon Balls. But even that is a stretch because even IF he knew about them he'd have no way to track them down because no one knows about the Dragon Radar. He'd have to get a hold of teh Red Ribbon Army's tech and use the Death Note to control someone to gather them for him. He'd have to summon Shenron to make his wish and he'd have a very small window to make himself a god before he'd get annihilated by Goku.
I think the main advantage Light has is how nonchalant DB characters are outside of combat. In this scenario, I actually think a potential win could come out of him discovering Goku's association with Bulma. Because in the B.O.G film, when Shenrons summoned, even the cop lady was like: "Oh, capsule corps doing weird shit again." So at the very least, we know Bulma and her dad are somewhat famous and in the public eye. I'd imagine they may even play a role in the science world as investors maybe. Light's been shown to do some pretty wild shit to gain advantage, including throwing himself into situations where he has no power at all just to take eyes off him. Because of this, if he figured out the Briefs connection to Goku, I could absolutely see him figuring out some way to infiltrate Capsule Corp. Given his intelligence, he could pose as a maintenance worker or something to that effect while he bides his time and maybe gains trust from certain characters. But the biggest form of info would likely come from Vegeta. All it would take is seeing one interaction between Goku and Vegeta while Lights hovering around Capsule Corp and he'd find out his name. Basically, through Bulma, Light could very possibly get a win if he was patient, had enough plot armor, and bided his time. I could also see it working if Light just dead ass played into Goku's arrogance (Shown in B.O.G also when he responded to Beerus. "You dare doubt me?") I could absolutely see Light throwing out some shit like: "I could beat you within a minute. All I need is your real name." Goku: "You're a weird guy, Light. I don't know why you need my name to fight, but it's Kakarot." I could dead ass see that working. Especially on Super Goku lol
Another thing to consider is the lack of last names. Aside from the briefs and Satan families, no last names are ever mentioned for the main cast. But since some are, would Kakarot even be enough to trigger the death note?
When dragonball characters are more powerful than the opponent, hax quit working. Super vegito had his dna turned into coffee and chocolate, and yet he was able to speak, fly, and fight despite not having a mouth, brain, vocal cords, etc. I think it just wouldn't work, similar to how the dragons can't affect things stronger than them. And just to be clear, I don't think this has to do with magic in the dbz world, I think the characters themselves null it. If you look at the games and the db heros manga, I know it's not cannon but it can give ideas of what the writers are thinking since many of the writers of dbs are the same, they go into detail that goku himself is able to nullify powers and magic that target him, whether it be directly or indirectly, if he's stronger than the opponent.
@theendofthestart8179 Yes I am actually. You could argue dbs goku can't yet (I think he could after ultra instinct), but you can't argue that beerus couldn't, and you certainly can't argue that final goku (end of timeline goku from the last episode of dbz) couldn't. Final goku is stated to be the "strongest period, and he couldn't lose to anybody" by akira toriyama himself in a guide with arale listed a fighter lol.
@@zombie9865 not really sure why youre brining up irrelevant alternate time lines that have nothing to do with current debate. If you choose to believe that goku could overpower the deathnote thats fine, you can have that opinion, I just dont think there will ever be a way to confirm if he could or not since they are from entirely different fictions, and you know, dbz's entire lack of physics
@theendofthestart8179 well for one, that's not an "irrelevant alternate timeline". Final goku is the one on the last episode of dragonball z. It's the goku who fights uub, it's where dbs is leading to. Akira toriyama said in an interview that super wouldn't go past it, and that the end of z is the true ending of dragonball. He is cannon, and he's absolutely greater than arale. And the idea that you can't compare fiction just kinda nulls literally everything. The video we're commenting under, the youtubers past scaling videos, and even your comment about goku vs arale is just thrown out the window with your logic. I don't know why you seem so aggressive in your comment either I was just answering your question.
In order for Light to beat Goku with a powered up Death Note he would need to get information from someone close to him, that will take a while and even if he does he still needs to get his Saiyan name from them. Most of his friends either would outright refuse to say or get suspicious.
In the scenario were Light takes over Piccolo and ibstruct him to tell Goku's name the Death Note will Likely make him say the true name, since it is vague enough of an order to mean that and the DN will care about actual names that work with it and not the comon way a person is called. In the worst scenario they would say/write "Son Goku / Kakaroto".
Also, Goku is immune to mind control, it goes all the way back into the original series, where even the devil couldn’t control Gokus mind to have his heart blown up. Even if light tried to control gokus actions to die, Goku would sense this mind control. In the db series, mind control, telepathy, and acknowledgement of outside influences are very involved in the series, even in early dbz. Many characters have mind control abilities or mind reading, including master roshi, baba, and piccolo
If he gets info from piccolo he might just barely be able to have gohan kill Goku before dying. While writing Goku might not kill him it should be enough for gohan to go off of. A surprise attack from his own son may be enough to kill him.
Yeah, and then Gohan would snap out of it, go Beast 2 or even 3 (upon realizing what made Piccolo die is what made him kill Goku), and then Light is atomized on the spot. Then sent to Yemma, and then he's sent to hell and becomes someone's bottom bitch.
@@michaellevin2861 I mean he would have to die for the mind control to take effect. But the really funny part is going to be Goku instant transmitting right in front of light and light just seeing the halo above His head and instantly realizing how much he fucked up.
In reality it would be very easy for Light to find out who Goku, considering Videl knew who he was and was able to figure out he was Gohan's father for Light ot eould be a cake walk. Also in dragon ball Goku's family is one of the few that still uses last names( in dragon ball world apperently last names are not used anymore)so for Light it would be fairly easy.
Even if Light got the name Kakarot from Vegeta, I doubt Vegeta bothered asking Raditz how to spell it. Making it basically impossible for Light to kill Goku unless he used Shenron or went to Zuno. Even if Light tried going after the Dragon Balls, currently thanks to what happened with Frieza I think it's been stated that Bulma has teams gathering them to make sure they aren't used for evil.
@@lonkstakes Hey do you think this plan would work for killing goku with the deathnote? light uses the death note to control a random person, he writes “X leaves a piece of the death note under a rock on at Y location before going somewhere and killing themselves in a place that won’t be found for weeks” then light once that piece of note is at Y location, and he has never been there it is unable to be traced back to him. He would then use his notebook again and write “Son Gohan (this can be anyone who knows Goku’s birth name) will conceal fly to Y location where he will write the true birth name given to Goku followed by “suicide in 40 seconds” while picturing his face in his mind, and then will stand still for a full minute before committing suicide”
im not sure what you mean by "original" if you mean unchanged then it would probably still work as the word "human" in the deathnote is just a translation, and the japanese word more closely resembles "person"
Because our translation of "human" with the same term Is used to "mortal" and this Is the same term Zamasu referred to all mortals. The point Is Just the meaning we give on the translation
@@lonkstakes like video there is only problem some is watch timeline to make sure there is interloper or someone missing to the story someone I don’t know like the time patrollers
Getting to Goku's identity would be a hurdle but if we're talking about killing Goku he just has to make Goku fly into outer space... I mean, that used to be the case before DBS... But even then, death means nothing in the DBZ universe anyway, why even bother... It's not that just that Goku can come back to life, he can do stuff even while dead For this to work you would need angels instead of shinigamis, not only they seem to be the only beings able to overpower god level mortals in the DBS multiverse, they even got the religion reference, just change god of death to angel of death Then you start the conversation
I feel like the thing that makes light stand a chance is the fact that he wouldn't be strong enough to have a traceable ki signature over most humans. Idk about ryuk though.
I think its fair to say that even if light did have ki traceable, it would be indistinguishable from the millions of other Japanese teens, and that goku would need to touch a note to be able to have any sensory input that would inform him of ryuk
@@jeremymorris345Honestly i don't know. If he DIDN'T have a name before, then Piccolo COULD be his now "real" name. But what If he DID have a real name before but simply forgot or something like that. Keep in mind Namekians do have names and stuff. So since the Death Note uses the original name, then nobody would know.
It would depend entirely on how one would attribute the Namekians Piccolo's absorbed as part of his name. Because in theory they still exist inside Piccolo, or at least their energy. If the Death Note took that as something alive enough to kill, then by writing down "Kami, Guardian of Earth", or "Nail, Hero of Namek", that would in theory weaken Piccolo a fair bit, and in turn make "Piccolo" his only remaining name. Though, since this goes off Super's logic, and we have the Universe 6 Namekians who absorbed their entire race for strength and still only had two names, either "Piccolo" is the true name for Piccolo, or there is no name for the Death Note to take. Or, well, there's a third option. "King Piccolo Jr", due to how he was first introduced. And if Light got the Red Ribbon Army info, he'd have access to this knowledge. Still doesn't help him in the end.
In the event Light kills Goku he won’t stay dead. Unless Light can target everyone who’s allied to Goku and has a set of Dragon Balls then Goku just comes back. Worse yet Light would likely get caught in the long run once the Z-Fighters recognize someone is after them. They have magical artifacts from several planets(Earth and Namekian Dragon Balls) that can easily reveal who Light is and have close relations with divine entities with clairvoyance.
Technically, since the Death Note recognizes birth names as true names, it would probably make Piccolo tell Light that Goku's name is Kakarot. It still wouldn't matter though, since death in Dragon Ball is merely a minor inconvenience, and Vegeta would probably be pissed if someone killed Goku.
Imagine Light writing anything different than the heart attack for the death cause and freaking out while Goku tanks 30 busses and 4 planes crashing into him without even moving.
LMAOO
@@lonkstakeshere's the better one: imagine light seeing goku dodging 500 bullets per second coming from 30 snipers and walking TO light at the time in base just to make the meanest slap in history, all while light is panicking and running for his life
That's not how it works, goku won't be able to dodge and will die
@DrHarryZhang they dont really damage him, they just kinda scratch him
@@michaelmayers3622 No you are wrong. If both the cause and the conditions are impossible, that victim will die of a heart attack.
So no matter what Light writes for Goku, will no work, and he will just have a heart attack.
Which does nothing because Goku can heal from a crushed heart.
Light would be flabbergasted once he killed Goku and a few moments later he's back cuz Death in db verse is basically just a vacation to King Kai's planet
Plus Goku would still have a body and theoretically could teleport back to Earth and kill Light anyways lol. Even If somehow Goku could not come back he could still probably still smoke Light.
@@thegodofsaiyans535 Even Worse his real name is birth name is Kakarot not Son Goku
Well Gokus a special case
When you die, you reincarnate and your orginal soul and identity are diluted, as seen with Uub and how the dragons needed living bodies to return the deceased souls during King Piccolos Arc, Earth in the Buu Saga, as well as everyone who died on Namek in the Freeza saga. Everyone who either didnt meet the wish criteria, OR had their bodies destroyed and were already reincarnated couldnt be wished back, or as with the Buu saga, Porunga needed to physically bring back the bodies THEN transfer the souls for everyone kid buu killed.
The thing is Goku was also supposed to go through that, but Kami intervened so he could reach Snake Way. And his second death, he was ALREADY in otherworld, so he kinda skipped the whole reincarnationa nd soul cleansing debacle. So if Goku ever dies again, unless some specific event happens again, hes not getting special treatment and will reincarnate as someone else somewhere in the universe.
@@harpybeagle4931 As Far as i Remember only bad people Get reincarnated. Good people Go to Heaven. But FIGHTERS like Goku Get to keep their bodies and keep fighting for eternity. So no It wasnt Kami who made Goku have a body. Goku gets to keep his body because like other warriors he has earned that privilege. So no, If Goku dies again, like he did in the Cell Games, he will just keep training with King Kai Forever.
@@thegodofsaiyans535
Good point, but its kinda refuted by the fact that its an anime-only thing. Everyone in dragon ball undergoes reincarnation, its just the case you have super evil dudes who need intensive soul cleansing to become good people. For example, the ogres are anime-filler only and dont appear in the original manga, as well as neither the ideas that Goku was allowed to keep his body after death also only appeared in filler. Which is also contradicted that the filler also shows villains like the Ginyu force keeping their bodies in hell.
As far as the series has been consistent with SOME things lol, its that alot of DBZ cosmology borrows from Buddhism, as such every character is assumedly going through traditional Buddhist interpretation of reincarnation. All the canon events of death, and resurrection support this from
1.) Needing a body for resurrections (King Piccolo Saga- the deceased Z Fighters were specifically mentioned as resurrected bc their bodies were kept in good shape, Resurrection F- when Frieza was revived it was in the pieces Trunks cut him into
Gokus deaths all had him skip important aspects of reincarnating
Moro Arc- Merus keeping his soul and identity required special intervention from the Grand Priest
Buu Saga- Porunga said resurrecting Kid Buus victims could take time, implying he needed to resurrect each individual killed one by one, as well as Gokus wish implying had he not asked King Yemma for his favour, Kid Buu would have taken a much longer route to reincarnating via soul cleansing
2.) Bodies aren’t kept in the afterlife, everyone who canonically lives in Other world is an actual denizen maintaining the place, while deceased souls are only seen as the anonymous ghost blobs, with Goku again skipping the process when he died bc of special circumstances
3.) Besides Hakai, souls cannot be destroyed and merely transfer from a physical plane to a spiritual one, before returning back as a new identity
4.) Unique resurrections like Babas interventions with Grandpa Gohan, Goku, Vegeta and Freeza are contractual given the actual thing keeping them alive is a limited source of currency so to speak, so as seen w Grandpa Gohan, the process returns back to normal once its done

Hey maybe Vegeta could finally get a win in this scenario lmao. Love Vegeta but MAN his track record is bad.
Honestly there could be a debate that he would not destroy the death Note but he would probably destroy the death Note I mean sure they could kill the major enemies with it but at the end of the day Goku and Vegeta are about that life he would probably just blow up lights house with a big bang attack it wouldn't even care he destroyed the death Note

Light basically has no chance, and you are accurate in your analysis. However, there are three things I don’t think you accounted for.
1. Light could have Gohan and Piccolo state Goku’s true name since they know it and light is aware that he needs it
2. Vegeta was at the Cell games and possibly could said Kakarot in his usual loud fashion, allowing the camera to pick it up (I’m not rereading to verify)
3. King Kai would notice the random deaths far before Light kills Gohan or Piccolo and could use the same methods you described that Goku could use to find light. This would probably involve the namekian dragon balls
Bonus: Perhaps Beerus, Whis, or. Supreme Kai would know about Ryuk
I'm pretty sure also Dende, like Kami before him, can see everything on Earth with the Omniscient vision on the Lookout. Just so many superfluous layers of defense for Goku
Well, at least he'd have to be very specific about how he manipulates Gohan and Piccolo. Even if he asked them his "true" name, as far as they're concerned, Son Goku always has been and will be his name. Vegeta is the only Z-Fighter who considers "Kakarot" to be Goku's actual name.
Light would not think about asking about Goku's alien name, so Gohan and Piccolo would just say Goku, especially since as far as they're concerned, that is what it is, unlike Vegeta.
even if goku somehow dies he doesnt die he just goes to king kai's planet till hes revived again lol
I love it how Goku already won within the first 3min.
And the rules of the Death Notes had to be altered and the canon of the show had to be ignored to give Kira a fighting chance
The Death Note got a hardcover and a thick spine.
To be fair the only rule that needs to be Altered is that Goku isn't a human, but he was killed by a heart disease in another timeline so the death note should be able to effect him in a similar way if his name is writen In it.
if goku was in the deathnote universe, hed probably just killhimself eventually since there is nobody worth fighting.
Let's see, Goku isn't his birth name so he could never learn his true name. Any death besides heart attack could work unless goku is fast enough (he is) to restart his own heart. He's not human, it doesn't affect him too. Suiccide is the only option that might work assuming everything else I said is void. So...yeah Kira is not winning lol
@@theendofthestart8179 He would probably open a dojo until the Kira cult starts gaining speed and then start speaking against them. I don't see how Goku would or could be involved in the investigation, especially since he's not good at things like that.

honestly, i don't even think light would even get the chance to consider the z-fighters a threat before goku suddenly shows up in his room, goes "woah, you're just some kid? :o" and plucks the death note straight out of light's hand while telling him he shouldn't be messing with such dangerous things. after all, dragonball's afterlife is strongly based off of a mix of the chinese and japanese afterlife, which means shinigami are ... y'know, _employees._ ryuk dropping the death note in front of light would be a _major_ case of an employee going rogue, and it wouldn't take long for a higher up like enma to notice that a new arrival was brought to him by a shinigami's power without the proper bureaucracy, and that would _immediately_ sound the alarms. so kira would probably get like two or three kills at most while he's still feeling out the death note, then get stopped in his tracks after king kai gets goku to investigate any signs of a rogue shinigami on earth
it's possible that _someone_ in the dragonball universe could be handed a death note and have the techniques and knowledge of the cosmology to properly avoid detection while using it, but a prep school kid who just so happened to stumble upon a bored shinigami's game? yeah, dude's getting caught and disarmed p. much eventually
that just leaves the real question: how hard is _ryuk_ getting punched for setting in motion the ( incredibly short-lived ) kira case solely because he was bored?
why didnt goku just magic find the cell larvae and destory it? or any of the androids while they were being made, or any of the villians who managed to use the dragon balls? goku cant just magic locate random japanese teens at will.
You are also unfairly pinning JUST LIGHT against the entire DBZ universe, why is light uniquely alone in this scenario? afriad that Goku would probably let Misa right his name just to test his strength (as seen when he literally let himself die to hit)

@@theendofthestart8179 that is a comparison you can make, yes. i'm not sure it actually _means_ anything in this context, but you can indeed compare the lengths of two periods of time
either way, that's not exactly a _short_ timeframe, and it comes about because light recognizes the need for the shinigami eyes because of, y'know, l, means he recognizes it because a. l's public announcement of tracking down kira and b. his _numerous encounters with l face-to-face._ without the latter of which, the shinigami eyes wouldn't be all that useful anyway. so it's questionable if misa would even enter the picture at all, she'd probably end up coming into play later even if she did, and even the same pace would give the z-fighters plenty of time to track down a rogue shinigami hanging out in a major population center. especially since i doubt shinigami ki blends in well with human ki
hell. something i didn't even consider: dende. the lookout might not let him see absolutely _everything_ going on on earth, but he'd be one of the first the celestial bureaucracy would call in a situation like this and spotting a shinigami trailing behind a random kid on his way to prep school doesn't even come close to a stretch. maybe ryuk would have the sense to not stay around light as much as he does in death note, but ... he's also ryuk, and his entire motivation doing shit and seeing what happens, so he'd likely only do that if light convinced him not to follow him around. which, like. why would he do that. ryuk is full of useful information and he'd have no idea about the jolly green man in the sky who spends his days doing nothing but people watch, so without the opportunity and time to learn more about the world's supernatural elements, there'd be no reason to tell the invisible emo man to not follow him around
there's a reason why androids not having ki to sense and dr. gero doing everything in his hidden lab in the middle of bumfuck nowhere were such key details in the android saga. there's ways to get away with shit under everyone's noses, absolutely, but it involves covering a _lot_ of bases that some bored honor student would have no way of knowing about

Its so funny how Goku is such a hard counter for Light Yagami even without his raw power. Even with breaking the rules of the Death Note to fit this scenario and allowing it to kill an alien, Goku's identity still hard stops Yagami which is funny when you consider how dumb Goku is.

YEAH I KNOW IT ACTUALLY WAS BUT THATS BESIDES THE POINT
It honestly is just dumb to even think Light would stand a chance given how the general "Human" public/society is isolated from the more magical aspects of the Dragon Ball world.
Light COULD potentially go to places like Bulma's house as a vistor or as a mechanic intern trip or something to get the Dragon Radar, but something tells me that Light's ego would get in the way of even thinking of such things.
Even if he got the Dragon Balls, with the lack of information about the afterlife, it's a stretch to say he would ask for anything other than "Kill Son Goku" in this instance, and that's completely out of Shenron's capability. Shenron would state it as such, and Goku and the gang would've noticed Shenron being summoned by then and come.
Any and everything Light can do in this instance can be sensed or deduced immediately.

Keep in mind, mind control resistance exists to an extent in the Dragon World, with Vegeta only being able to be possessed due to allowing it. You'd have to assume the Death Note exceeds the magic capabilities of Babidi, which rivals the magic of the Supreme Kais.
Goku meeting light: "Hey I heard you beat piccolo, LETS FIGHT!!!🗣"
Light: "ok goku, but if you let me transform, I can give you an ever better fight"
Goku: "ok"
Light: *write it down*
WOMP WOMP
Goku: those who hurt my friends I won't forgive!
Light: wait we can talk about this wait we can talk about this
I honestly believe that kira is cooked 💀
9:25 the only way is if he lucky pick vegeta to get kakarot name because I'm pretty sure he always refers to him like that
Maybe light could get someone to use the dragon balls, then he could get the info he needs. Seems like a long shot though
I bet bulma's name and face are everywhere online, nobody is THAT rich without it right?
@@theendofthestart8179yes but then vegeta explodes japan in a sec
If he discovers someone is treatening his wife
@@CERISTHEDEV how would vegeta know to nuke japan? and I dont think the z-fighters would let him kill THAT many innocents... though they may not be able to stop him hmmm
@@theendofthestart8179wish them back he’s done it before Hahahah Joking but they would definitely stop him
In this hypothetical, couldn't he just force Piccolo or Gohan to say Goku's real birth name. They know its Kakarot.
they would most likely say Son Goku instead of Kakarot
@@Casual_Otaku Why? They know his birth name is Kakarot, and they are already being forced to speak.
I thought about that too. It would be possible. The trouble is that Goku could discover and kill Light before anything happens(40s lol). Also even If for the sake of argument Goku could not come back to life through some method. He still has a body in the afterlife and could theoretically come back and smoke Light.
@@jeremymorris345 Picolo is a Nameless namekian do you think death note would work on someone who doesn't even have a name.
@@jeremymorris345 also the speed they would say it at can be very fast for light to even hear it
Pretty sure all of Light's plans crumble to a single Senzu Bean.
Just make sure Vegeta isn’t around.
He’ll blow Goku’s cover REAL quick.
“KAKAROT YOU IDIOT” 😂
Nope... Even though the Saiyans spoke English/Japanese they didn't use the Latin Alphabet... or Japanese characters... they used an Alien Alphabet Bulma had to decode.
Therefore... He wouldn't be able to spell Goku's Saiyan Name correctly and it wouldn't work.
The Death note states after misspelling someone's name four times they cant be killed with the Death Note anymore.
Even if Light played things extremely close to the chest and somehow found out the name of all the Z-Fighters before taking them all out at the same time, he'd also need to include all the allies capable of summoning the dragon and asking for a wish. Otherwise, it's a short-term victory.
In this scenario he gets cooked by mr satan and videl
Goku's Saiyan heritage coming in clutch again
You love to see it
Light: hey so ur the person with powers.
Goku: hehe, yeah! My name is Son Goku.
Light: oh... I'll just write that down so I remember.
40 seconds pass
Light: (?!) Hey, so is that ur nickname or something?
Goku: well no, but my friends call me Kakarot.
Light: oh interesting.. *writes it down*
Light: well I have to go now, it was nice meeting you.
(The end)
Then goku is just standing there confused
3:57 it might’ve been an anime filler scene, but goku goes back to the battleground after beating demon king piccolo to get the power pole, and paparazzi take pictures of him. They would be able to connect the face to the finals of the 3 world martial arts tournaments in ogdb
0:10 WHOO HERCULE
The one flaw I see with this isn't really even part of the video, just the idea that, assuming the death note works on Goku in the first place and then also saying "but he could survive a heart attack so it might not even kill him the first time." isn't really how the death note works. A human *could* survive a heart attack, Car Accident, gunshot wound, just like Goku *could* survive a heart attack. When any of those things are creates by the death note they don't. This is because the death note functions on different hax than just "causing a heart attack". It can be fate hax, mind hax, death hax, etc.
Everything else in the video was great though.
"light we gotta go, this crazy mf can see my ass, he staring into my soul with some MEAN looking eyes"
The ONLY way I can see Light winning is in this very specific set of circumstances:
1. Light kills Piccolo SPECIFICALLY in a way that both allows himself to know the name of Son Goku AND looks like an accident to the Z-Fighters. Therefore making it so Goku and the gang don't ask anybody why Piccolo died. (The only way I imagine this can happen is if he makes Piccolo tell the camera during the Cell Games Goku's full name, and then have him try and kill Cell.)
2. Light Yamgami tries to kill "Son Goku", just for it to not work because that isn't his "true name". He then tries to figure out any person's name and face related to Son Goku.
3. This leads Light to instruct Son Gohan to reveal it (since Light knows Gohan's face and name from the Cell Games.) and die somehow. (Ex: Come to Light Yamgami's location, say all the names Son Goku is called by, then fly into the sun.)
4. Light Yagami does all of this without any Z-fighters finding out before he kills Goku, or else a version of Future Trunks will come to the timeline and kill Light himself.
He writes Goku a hundred times wondering why nothing’s happening, without realizing his name is Kakarot.
Finding goku’s name is the easiest thing ever if u talk to him he will probably start the conversation with “hey It’s me goku”
Dende is the guardian of earth. He'd see people dying randomly of heart attacks and would get suspicious. Common folk in the dbz universe know about the guardian of earth. He'd tell Goku, they'd figure out where he is and he's donezo.
In Japan when they say Human, they usually mean Mortal so the Death Note would probably work on Son Goku, but the other issue is which name is valid.
Im pretty sure in the original japanese, valid targets for the Death Note are "ningen", which has often been translated in other works to "mortal" not "human", so Goku can probably be targeted by the Death Note. And honestly, if a heart virus can kill Goku i feel like a heart attack could also get the job done. Light could also just write Suicide and have Goku ki blast his own head off.
Honestly the biggest hurdle is the name; Vegeta is the only person on the planet who calls him Kakarrot, and there is an open question regarding spelling the name. The Saiyans probably had a completely alien alphabet, and again the only person who might even theoretically remember it is Vegeta.
Shinigami Eyes are mandatory to pull out a win here, but with them its easy ggs
Yes I agree, its more like "people" than "human"
The heart virus kill a pre-cell goku, he is much stronger now inside and out, but I still think the book would do the trick, especially with the self inflicted.
I think its important to remember that light is canonically smarter than you and me, and would be able to come up with a plan neither of us can ever think of.
@@theendofthestart8179 honestly if Misa is in play, Light just automatically wins. The Cell Game footage is available to the public, and the Shinigami Eyes have been shown to work through cameras
@@heatran1919 Indeed, and although this heavily biased video for some reason is pitting start of the show Light vs modern goku, I think thats fucking stupid and that light should have access to both misa AND Teru Mikami. heck id even give him the post-L japanese task force. I think goku would unironically be cooked if light is only trying to kill him. The biggest problem for light is that death doesnt really stop goku...
I agree that this video is incredibly biased but I still think it's hypothetically possible that goku might just be too strong for the death note to work.
You forgot the one scenario were he manages to kill Goku just for him to revive.
I think Kira could write in a new strain of the Heart Virus which did debilitate Goku, and then a horrible accident on top of it, if he knows to look for it. If he gets Vegeta to tell him the information instead of say, Piccolo, he could inadvertently get the right name.
Honestly, he could probably pull it off if he plays his cards right. If he's able to get close to the Z-Fighters, he might just overhear Vegeta referring to Goku as "Kakarot", so he'll be able to use both names just in case one or the other is the real deal. You know how he wiped his own memories to get closer to L? Kinda like that, just without the memory wipe part.
him trying 5 different times writing son goku just to find out thats not his name
2:05 OMG I didn´t know this
Jaco has the information Light needs.
Name, Face and how to spell it as it will all be on the Galactic Patrol database.
Light getting to Jaco and knowing that's his best shot is very unlikely.
What about this?
light uses the death note to control a random person, he writes “X leaves a piece of the death note under a rock on at Y location before going somewhere and killing themselves in a place that won’t be found for weeks” then light once that piece of note is at Y location, and he has never been there it is unable to be traced back to him. He would then use his notebook again and write “Son Gohan (this can be anyone who knows Goku’s birth name) will conceal fly to Y location where he will write the true birth name given to Goku followed by “suicide in 40 seconds” while picturing his face in his mind, and then will stand still for a full minute before committing suicide”
@theendofthestart8179 All the dragon ball characters consider Goku to be Goku's true brith name.
That suggestion may work with Vegeta. However, no one knows Vegeta's full name. (Which is Prince Vegeta IV.)
@@johnbalkin8223 the z fighters fucking know goku’s birth name isn’t the one given to him by a fucking human dude
@@johnbalkin8223 unless you think that somehow the word “birth” means something different in dbz in which case, go fuck yourself.
And how would he know about Jaco's existence? He doesn't arrive on Earth too often + not many people know about him
His only victory condition is having Misa
I think Light has a better chance just walking up to anyone in the zfighters and just straight up asking for their real name and come up with a random reason as to why he needs it.
This is really interesting I would like to see a similar concept of this in the future for DBS
Plot twist: Light gave Goku the heart virus
Let's ignore the possibility of outside interference. Ryuk fucks off somewhere, the Dragon Balls are in another castle, Bulma is on a space cruise with every main character except Goku. The actual wrinkle here is the specific laws of the Death Note. See, if Goku can be affected by the Death Note at all, then it's a done deal once Light has all the information. If Light tries to kneecap himself by writing a death method that won't work on Goku, the Death Note will just rule that to be impossible and proceed with a heart attack death, which will definitely work. The real issue with the Death Note is that it doesn't work on aliens. The laws of the Death Note specify that it targets humans. Saiyans aren't a listed factor, and would therefore be immune.
Now, Death Note fans might respond that thr King of Death could simply add a rule that lets it affect nonhuman sentient species. I, however, would argue that if the King of Death is allowed to update the rules of the Death Note, then Beerus is allowed to track down Light and annihilate his body and soul in their entirety. No outside interference means that we have to stick to the laws of the Death Note as written, and as written, Saiyans can't be targeted.
"The laws of the Death Note specify that it targets humans" is arguably just a translation error, the original text more closely says "person" it just never mattered.
The only way I can see Light succeeding is with the use of the Dragon Balls. But even that is a stretch because even IF he knew about them he'd have no way to track them down because no one knows about the Dragon Radar. He'd have to get a hold of teh Red Ribbon Army's tech and use the Death Note to control someone to gather them for him. He'd have to summon Shenron to make his wish and he'd have a very small window to make himself a god before he'd get annihilated by Goku.
I think the main advantage Light has is how nonchalant DB characters are outside of combat. In this scenario, I actually think a potential win could come out of him discovering Goku's association with Bulma.
Because in the B.O.G film, when Shenrons summoned, even the cop lady was like: "Oh, capsule corps doing weird shit again."
So at the very least, we know Bulma and her dad are somewhat famous and in the public eye. I'd imagine they may even play a role in the science world as investors maybe.
Light's been shown to do some pretty wild shit to gain advantage, including throwing himself into situations where he has no power at all just to take eyes off him.
Because of this, if he figured out the Briefs connection to Goku, I could absolutely see him figuring out some way to infiltrate Capsule Corp. Given his intelligence, he could pose as a maintenance worker or something to that effect while he bides his time and maybe gains trust from certain characters. But the biggest form of info would likely come from Vegeta.
All it would take is seeing one interaction between Goku and Vegeta while Lights hovering around Capsule Corp and he'd find out his name. Basically, through Bulma, Light could very possibly get a win if he was patient, had enough plot armor, and bided his time.
I could also see it working if Light just dead ass played into Goku's arrogance (Shown in B.O.G also when he responded to Beerus. "You dare doubt me?")
I could absolutely see Light throwing out some shit like: "I could beat you within a minute. All I need is your real name."
Goku: "You're a weird guy, Light. I don't know why you need my name to fight, but it's Kakarot."
I could dead ass see that working. Especially on Super Goku lol
Super goku is Oblivious not stupid like GT and Kackaroto does not have a last name
Light basically loses to goku instantly
I know toriyama was cooking when he made goku have a second name
Ah, yes, so basically 1 strong boi that can destroy a universe vs a smart boi that can kill anyone in sight
Another thing to consider is the lack of last names. Aside from the briefs and Satan families, no last names are ever mentioned for the main cast. But since some are, would Kakarot even be enough to trigger the death note?
When dragonball characters are more powerful than the opponent, hax quit working. Super vegito had his dna turned into coffee and chocolate, and yet he was able to speak, fly, and fight despite not having a mouth, brain, vocal cords, etc. I think it just wouldn't work, similar to how the dragons can't affect things stronger than them. And just to be clear, I don't think this has to do with magic in the dbz world, I think the characters themselves null it. If you look at the games and the db heros manga, I know it's not cannon but it can give ideas of what the writers are thinking since many of the writers of dbs are the same, they go into detail that goku himself is able to nullify powers and magic that target him, whether it be directly or indirectly, if he's stronger than the opponent.
are you implying that goku could beat Arale? Because I HEAVILY disagree.
@theendofthestart8179 Yes I am actually. You could argue dbs goku can't yet (I think he could after ultra instinct), but you can't argue that beerus couldn't, and you certainly can't argue that final goku (end of timeline goku from the last episode of dbz) couldn't. Final goku is stated to be the "strongest period, and he couldn't lose to anybody" by akira toriyama himself in a guide with arale listed a fighter lol.
@@zombie9865 not really sure why youre brining up irrelevant alternate time lines that have nothing to do with current debate. If you choose to believe that goku could overpower the deathnote thats fine, you can have that opinion, I just dont think there will ever be a way to confirm if he could or not since they are from entirely different fictions, and you know, dbz's entire lack of physics
@theendofthestart8179 well for one, that's not an "irrelevant alternate timeline". Final goku is the one on the last episode of dragonball z. It's the goku who fights uub, it's where dbs is leading to. Akira toriyama said in an interview that super wouldn't go past it, and that the end of z is the true ending of dragonball. He is cannon, and he's absolutely greater than arale. And the idea that you can't compare fiction just kinda nulls literally everything. The video we're commenting under, the youtubers past scaling videos, and even your comment about goku vs arale is just thrown out the window with your logic. I don't know why you seem so aggressive in your comment either I was just answering your question.
In order for Light to beat Goku with a powered up Death Note he would need to get information from someone close to him, that will take a while and even if he does he still needs to get his Saiyan name from them. Most of his friends either would outright refuse to say or get suspicious.
except Vegeta..
In the scenario were Light takes over Piccolo and ibstruct him to tell Goku's name the Death Note will Likely make him say the true name, since it is vague enough of an order to mean that and the DN will care about actual names that work with it and not the comon way a person is called.
In the worst scenario they would say/write "Son Goku / Kakaroto".
Also, Goku is immune to mind control, it goes all the way back into the original series, where even the devil couldn’t control Gokus mind to have his heart blown up. Even if light tried to control gokus actions to die, Goku would sense this mind control. In the db series, mind control, telepathy, and acknowledgement of outside influences are very involved in the series, even in early dbz. Many characters have mind control abilities or mind reading, including master roshi, baba, and piccolo
If he gets info from piccolo he might just barely be able to have gohan kill Goku before dying. While writing Goku might not kill him it should be enough for gohan to go off of. A surprise attack from his own son may be enough to kill him.
Yeah, and then Gohan would snap out of it, go Beast 2 or even 3 (upon realizing what made Piccolo die is what made him kill Goku), and then Light is atomized on the spot. Then sent to Yemma, and then he's sent to hell and becomes someone's bottom bitch.
@@michaellevin2861 I mean he would have to die for the mind control to take effect.
But the really funny part is going to be Goku instant transmitting right in front of light and light just seeing the halo above His head and instantly realizing how much he fucked up.
In reality it would be very easy for Light to find out who Goku, considering Videl knew who he was and was able to figure out he was Gohan's father for Light ot eould be a cake walk. Also in dragon ball Goku's family is one of the few that still uses last names( in dragon ball world apperently last names are not used anymore)so for Light it would be fairly easy.
Even if Light got the name Kakarot from Vegeta, I doubt Vegeta bothered asking Raditz how to spell it. Making it basically impossible for Light to kill Goku unless he used Shenron or went to Zuno. Even if Light tried going after the Dragon Balls, currently thanks to what happened with Frieza I think it's been stated that Bulma has teams gathering them to make sure they aren't used for evil.

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear whatever this guy is wearing.
Imagine if light wrote a very specific scenario that will eventually kills goku in a way that would make sense, kira would win this fight then
A question can be asked is for the original death note capability how would it affect Gohan
im not sure what you mean by "original" if you mean unchanged then it would probably still work as the word "human" in the deathnote is just a translation, and the japanese word more closely resembles "person"
8:46 That’s scary af😂😂
Goku, let’s make a deal. Give me 5 secs in the ring and I’ll buy you all the food you want after the match!
Okay sure! Bring it on!
Why is this even a debate?
Because some people say light wins
Because our translation of "human" with the same term Is used to "mortal" and this Is the same term Zamasu referred to all mortals.
The point Is Just the meaning we give on the translation
@@lonkstakes like video there is only problem some is watch timeline to make sure there is interloper or someone missing to the story someone I don’t know like the time patrollers
because its fun my guy
Getting to Goku's identity would be a hurdle but if we're talking about killing Goku he just has to make Goku fly into outer space... I mean, that used to be the case before DBS... But even then, death means nothing in the DBZ universe anyway, why even bother...
It's not that just that Goku can come back to life, he can do stuff even while dead
For this to work you would need angels instead of shinigamis, not only they seem to be the only beings able to overpower god level mortals in the DBS multiverse, they even got the religion reference, just change god of death to angel of death
Then you start the conversation
I feel like the thing that makes light stand a chance is the fact that he wouldn't be strong enough to have a traceable ki signature over most humans. Idk about ryuk though.
I think its fair to say that even if light did have ki traceable, it would be indistinguishable from the millions of other Japanese teens, and that goku would need to touch a note to be able to have any sensory input that would inform him of ryuk
This should be a 10 second video: the death note only works on humans, Goku is a Saiyan, Goku mogs gg
Im gonna cut this short
Goku feels his heart stopping. He shoots ki into the air. falls dead. the ki hits his body and he comes back
Would the death note work on Piccolo? Since he has no real name and is known as the "Nameless Namekian" or "Kaata's son"?
Wouldn't that just imply that Piccolo becomes his true name if he was nameless before.
@@jeremymorris345Honestly i don't know. If he DIDN'T have a name before, then Piccolo COULD be his now "real" name. But what If he DID have a real name before but simply forgot or something like that. Keep in mind Namekians do have names and stuff. So since the Death Note uses the original name, then nobody would know.
@@thegodofsaiyans535 Well, if Piccolo truly did have a name before, then sure, but we don't know that.
It would depend entirely on how one would attribute the Namekians Piccolo's absorbed as part of his name. Because in theory they still exist inside Piccolo, or at least their energy.
If the Death Note took that as something alive enough to kill, then by writing down "Kami, Guardian of Earth", or "Nail, Hero of Namek", that would in theory weaken Piccolo a fair bit, and in turn make "Piccolo" his only remaining name.
Though, since this goes off Super's logic, and we have the Universe 6 Namekians who absorbed their entire race for strength and still only had two names, either "Piccolo" is the true name for Piccolo, or there is no name for the Death Note to take. Or, well, there's a third option. "King Piccolo Jr", due to how he was first introduced. And if Light got the Red Ribbon Army info, he'd have access to this knowledge.
Still doesn't help him in the end.
All light would have to do is write that Vegeta gives him Goku's real name since Vegeta would never call him Goku
In the event Light kills Goku he won’t stay dead. Unless Light can target everyone who’s allied to Goku and has a set of Dragon Balls then Goku just comes back. Worse yet Light would likely get caught in the long run once the Z-Fighters recognize someone is after them. They have magical artifacts from several planets(Earth and Namekian Dragon Balls) that can easily reveal who Light is and have close relations with divine entities with clairvoyance.
Technically, since the Death Note recognizes birth names as true names, it would probably make Piccolo tell Light that Goku's name is Kakarot. It still wouldn't matter though, since death in Dragon Ball is merely a minor inconvenience, and Vegeta would probably be pissed if someone killed Goku.
I don't consider the human thing a rule break since in dragonball, human is almost always synonymous with mortal anyway.
Since I clicked on the video, I was thinking of Kira not being able to kill Goku because Goku is technically not his real name.
