Fun fact, for all of his crimes (including ones listed in the sequel/continuation manga), Light Yagami’s sentence in the US would be 33,890 years in prison-4492 life sentences-and 397 death sentences. Edit: I counted most killings as single murders and group killing (examples for groups range from the FBI and the massacre after L’s death) with the difference being did he do a bunch in a row. First degree murder is punishable by up to 24 years in prison in most states with mass murder (three murders or more at a time, there is no cap to how high it can go) are death penalties or life sentences. The count also uses all possible minor crimes with maximum punishments as well as his incitement of riots and bringing in multiple accomplices.
Lights mom is probably the most saddest moms in anime. Her husband died trying to catch Kira, her daughter is now disabled because she got involved in the Kira case, and the son turned out to be Kira.
If I'm being honest I'm pretty sure she would've offed herself, though given she has to take care of her daughter, I think she'd probably try to live with it. Though who knows how well that'd go. Having the world potentially blame you, and cult members trying to praise you for being the mother of Kira.
Actually apparently the mother and sister are never told the Task Force agreed to keep Kira's identity a secret to protect the remaining members of the Yagami family
Craziest thing in the anime. Light would have won if Takashi did what he was supposed to do. It was his mess up in doing one different thing that led to Light being caught in the end and Light knew that his plan was perfect if the dude didn't panic at that one moment.
Light could have also won easier if he wrote other countries criminals first including Japan and waited on killing Lind L. Taylor until a few hours after the broadcast or just not kill him at all, his ego screwed him
If Light's Father had killed Mello, he would have won for sure being as Near stated that Mello was the reason that he had suspected there might have been a 2nd notebook. Therefore if Light's Dad didn't hesitate, Light would have won.
L: Light is Kira Task Force: No he’s not. You have no proof L: Ight bet. If I die, Light is Kira Task Force: Bet L: dies Task Force: Light’s not Kira. Let’s make him the new L Near: Light is Kira Task Force: OMG!! Light really is Kira!! You are such a genius!!
Light yagami goes into the HOF as one of the most Nefarious mfs to ever do this. The way he did Ray and Naomi was filthy. Bro was doing it purely for the love of the game by the end
The most damning thing about Light wasn't even the fact that the moment his power was threatened. He chose to kill innocents without hesitation. Nah he went through a whole arc with amnesia. Working with L, being good friends with him. You see the man he couldve been if he never had the Death Note. The moment he gets his memories back. There is no delay, no internal conflict, no hesitation, nothing. Where most characters in this scenario change their ways or contemplate their choices. Light just went right on back to being an evil mastermind with no pause whatsoever. Absolutely vile.
The owner of a death note is possessed by the shinigami.its says so in one of the slides inbtweeen scenes. Like the ones that show the rules of the notebook. I don't think many people noticed it. That's why they show his eyes red like ryuks.
@@Sonamyfan875no he didint when Ryuk told light about the deal he declined the deal because he wanted to be alive long enough to rule in his perfect world.
@@sewison7990 I think it's more effective, or most effective, that everything Light does was all his doing, rather than him being outright mind-controlled. Like, Ryuk implies this was all Light's doing, and Ryuk was just in it for the show. And frankly, he knew the outcome, but it was no skin off his back how we get to that point. It felt less like Ryuk playing Light like a fiddle, and more like "the game was rigged from the start" kind of thing. And Light was genuinely a terrible, psychotic person..... And we know this because....Light isn't the only one who has a Shinigami. Light is the single most psychotic character for all intents and purposes with no interventions one way or the other. What's jarring is simply how easily his neurotic tendencies got set off with a mere power trip. Not to mention, Light is an absolute manipulator in Jump Victory Vs. He never has any intrinsic power or killing capability. He just goes full Lelouch mode anyway and controls everybody, villains AND heroes. Call it fanfiction. I thought it was surprisingly good writing. I think at his core, Light is just a manipulative dude with a God complex. Since episode 1. Just needed that little push. The crazy thing about the amnesia thing is he's such a conceited manipulator, he even manipulated himself. Gave himself amnesia, made himself innocent, set himself up to be tormented in jail and everything. He turned himself into a victim in his own experiment. He is THAT motha fucka.
Nah bro I gotta say. Your sound design is impeccable. It was solid af the whole way through anf then you hit us with the Renala phase 1 into Roxas theme? Cooked
Raye's death in the first Japanese live action film is even more tragic. Light actually SMILES while Raye is dying and Naomi who followed her fiancé her last moment with Raye is when he dies from his heart attack and Light didn't care to where he just goes about his business as usual
If there is one thing *Death Note* taught me is that if a random overpowered item is dropped on Earth then most definetly someone is going to abuse it and develop a god complex.
Depending on what it does also I say it a ten percent out of one hundred since there genuinely bad people but there also has to be genuinely good people but power can corrupt people with good morals
@@AKUNJIGSPOILERS: Donald Trump. It was President Trump that bought the Death Note, but he immediately got dropped by the Shinigami King afterwards. Dropped the kid for selling it as well. Then, he established a new rule that anyone involved in the sale of a Death Note dies immediately.
Light is the very definition of the phrase "absolute power corrupts absolutely" Also Light's kill count was 124,925 (Ryuk stated this in the alternate ending that Light must die this number of times in the afterlife for every name he wrote in the Death Note)
The fact that Matsuda, the dumbest and most trusting member of the task force was the first person to be on Light so he couldnt kill anyone was poetic justice, and the fact he had such pinpoint accuracy that he only took lights hands out without killing him outright
I think there was some mention of Matsuda's shooting skills earlier in the anime, but I don't remember what it was Either that he was good at it, bad at it, or that he was practicing. I don't remember
@@jesserebelo3583 I think you took that straight from the anime because that sounds like something I heard, it's like you brought the memory back to me
@@FlantisFroggu That and the manga, the author noted matsuda was his favorite character because in a world full of psychos and manipulators the good honest man got to be the hero in the end, even if he at the beginning did think that Kira may have had a point
Also when Raye Penbar got on the train and Light had told him to “not look around” it was bc he would’ve seen Ryuk after touching the papers and freaked the fuck out.
No trauma/backstory. No hand 2hand combat, No training in white room/kinderheim. Creates Genre called "smart deceptive character/evil protagonist/if i just had a chance" and died💀
According to Film Theory Light has 242,112 estimated kills, Misa Amane 392, Kyosuke Higuchi 8704, Teru Mikami 27816. SO 280K confirmed kills. Thats some black airforce energy right there!
I believe that by the end of the series, Light is estimated to have killed around 124,925 people. This number includes both criminals and those who opposed him. Light’s use of the Death Note to eliminate criminals and create a “new world” free of crime ultimately led to his downfall. His actions and the resulting death toll highlight the series’ exploration of the consequences of absolute power and moral corruption.
To this day I find Light Downfall to be my personal favorite. It revealed that he was nothing more than a sick human pretending to be god. (Although I wish I had an entire opera and potato chips when writing)
Real but he was aboutta win again at the end if mikami didnt screw up bro has to be one of the most devious while being the smartest in his verse they had to use plot to beat bro.. (except L he got done so dirty by rem)
The ending in the manga is a bit different to the ending in the anime. And the ending in the manga definitely hammers home how Light was nothing more than an egotistical man baby with a God complex, with him begging and crying about how he doesn't want to die at the feet of Ryuk as the whole task force just watches.
@@TKGaming7892 Ryuk probably thought it was the dumbest thing light did in his career even more than the l broadcast like did he really believe a FBI agent would give out their real name like that I would expect light to be smarter than that even I would have though of it
I think one of the scariest things about Light is that, unlike most anime villains, or protagonists, that turn to a dark path... Light didn’t have a tragic backstory. No dead relatives, no dead Momma (*glared at the live action version*), nothing. The dude had a relatively normal life and chose to be evil. If anything, it's frightening because it shows that *anyone* could be like him. Hell we probably have walked past guys like Light/Kira and we wouldn't know because of how easily people like him can blend into society.
the fact that people are so willing to excuse atrocity as to assume there is always a tragic back story is much scarier and also just a pretty awful way to frame victims as potential threats. this is the kinda dumb logic that has people blaming school shootings on bullying.
You should've seen how Light died in the manga. It was so funny. He was begging Ryuk not to kill him. He was pissing and shitting his pants to not die. He went out like a coward lmao.
What makes this all the more sad that Light yagami was born to a loving family a supportive mother a caring sister and a father who fully trusted his son to a point of his death he had no idea his son was kira.....this sick twisted psychopath played on people emotions to fulll effect and he didnt show any form of remorse even when he died Its safe to say this kind of peraon was never meant to exist
@@joshuaagee-bass4049 That’s because he got caught and was about to die. If he wasn’t in those circumstances he wouldn’t regret his choices as he seemingly got his pie (killing people out of his lust for power) and ate it (Remaining inconspicuous and alive), but only did so once those choices and murders finally cost him his life. It’s like a nihilist who claims to be indifferent to death for themselves begging for mercy once their life is in actual grave danger of ending to the people or person who put them in that position. In Light’s case, he was regretting nothing until his life was about to end in which he starts begging for mercy from Ryuk and the task force as he was cocky enough to think he was getting away with all of it alive; he only regrets the consequences he’s now experiencing, not the actual actions committed.
Okay the anime was a thousand times better than the Netflix adaptation, but you gotta admit that casting Willem DaFoe as Ryuk was the most *brilliant* casting choice they could've made! My *god!*
The moment he killed that FBI agent, he went too far. I literally remember going "Why couldn't you just stick to the serious criminals, Light?" the first time I saw that scene.
You know damn well why lol, penber was on his ass, light had no trouble sticking to just criminals until his identity was close to getting exposed. And had he known L’s name earlier, his ass would’ve gotten offed too
Dude ray was on the edge of clearing light of any suspicion. Light was smart but to pompous that if he played off he normal student he would easily skimed by @josebustamante9182
@@josebustamante9182 Dexter Morgan never made it his mission to take innocent lives. I recall how broken he was when he took the life of an innocent man. I respected Light when he took down criminals, but when he went after innocent people doing their jobs, he crossed the line. Dexter Morgan and Frank “The Punisher” Castle took guilty lives to save innocent lives.
@@josebustamante9182Dude, Light killing Ray literally made L MORE suspicious. If Light just minded his own damn business and run the world like he said he wanted, he would’ve been fine. But his ego made him kill the fake L, expose himself on local TV, kill the agent that was tracking him, and all of this made a Light an easier target for L. Light’s ego is one of the most tragic downfalls in anime history.
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
It really gets downplayed a lot how many innocent people he killed and or lives ruined, including his own family. W to CJ for rightfully pointing that out.
Naomi Misoras death messes me up every time I see it. It's the show proving once and for all that yes, Light is definetly the bad guy, no grey area, just straight up evil and messed up
@@AFAIK-l8k Exactly. Like no matter what the dude says, if I went so far as to making a fake identity, then I'm gonna fully commit to it. No rando on the street is getting my real name outta me.
Actually in another anime called death parade made by the same animation studio as deathnote it was seen that Light Yagami, after his death in Death Note, ended up in the afterlife, where he was judged like all other souls.
I've never seen death note but no way he started crashing out cause the shinagami basically said," damn he called you a b*tch on a televised broadcast in 4k me personally I wouldn't take that level of disrespect but that's just me" bro felt for the oldest trick in the book 😭😭💀
@bigred212 dw bro he didnt lol, he basically said "if no one else will.. then I WILL!" Then he eventually got so absorbed by his own god complex he killed anyone who was a problem for him
@@surgiosurge If he was right, then why did the global crime rate shoot up higher than it originally was after he died? Light’s crusade against crime was nothing more than removing the symptoms of the problem. The Death Note couldn’t do anything to actually fix the underlying causes of crime. The entire thing was just some kid with a god complex getting his hands on enough power to do whatever he had always wanted to do.
I'm happy that CJ isn't stopping at Don Flamingo. Cj's just getting started. Since Madara, I have been staying on this content. The editing, the sound effects, the commentary. It just keeps getting better.
The one thing I like about the final confrontation with near is that light legitimately would have won had mikami not freaked out. Lights issue is assuming everyone would act the way he does.
"you know, I never had much as a child, loving father, good grades, great wealth, and living in peaceful neighborhood. Worthless crap like that." -light yagami probably
I actually rewatched this few months ago. Its amazing how they fit all that conclusion into just 37 episodes and came out amazingly just like Cowboy bebop with just 26 episodes. Start to end, perfect story with all answered except whatever you make up to know
I'd argue the shinigami being so willing to literally kill themselves for Misa could have used a bit more explaining. I wouldn't care about it but Light using Rem to kill L takes away from his character big time imo.
@thevermintide1290 well not 100% sure why the 1st one did...but I know in the manga Rem been watching Misa from the shinigami realm amd developed some type of feelings for her and see her as a pure person. Like she says she's different from other human beings who uses the death note for their own selfish gains or reasons but not Misa. She doesn't do this at all an she thought that Light was also a Pure person since he was killing off all the bad people an she saw that as it benefiting the world and not just himself. But did threaten if he tries to kill Misa then she'll kill him. But I think it's Light's character since he uses everyone for his plan. Even used Ryuk by him apples or not giving him apples so he will do what he wants at times
@@YourOnlyHero Oh yeah I understand Rem had been watching Misa and liked her. I just don't think its explained well why that translates into her being devoted enough to Misa to justify offing themselves for her. Also Rem threatened Light early on but also knowingly let Light put misa in a situation to get caught. The rest of the story is peak but the Rem/Misa situation is a weak point imo.
List of things CJ didn’t explain. 3:17 Light almost killed himself writing this guy’s name, because it was explained in the Death Note that if the user purposely wrote the person’s name wrong 4 times in a row, not only will the person being written on there be free of the Death Note, but the user will die. 18:12 Misa had it made. As dumb as she may be some, if not most of the times, she was good. Because what CJ forgot to mention was that shinigamis if they care for the human to the point where they would sacrifice themselves to save them from the assailant by writing the assailant‘s name on the Death Note, that human the shinigami saved gets his/her lifespan. Assuming the shinigamis had bodies on their Death Note written before meeting Misa and sacrificing themselves, Misa could live for countless generations. So cutting her lifespan in half twice over wouldn’t really affect her at all. 27:26 100,000+ is a lowball for Light his actual count has to be within the range of 344,195 bodies give or take a few 40+. And finally even though Misa had longevity, she still couldn’t live without Light. It was strongly mentioned that shortly after Light’s death, she not-alived herself.
3:17 Light wouldn’t have died though Light offered an honest attempt at spelling this guy’s name so if he failed, this would count as him accidentally writing the guy’s name wrong four times and he’d stay alive, it’s just that he wouldn’t be able to kill the guy again, so he’d have to continue his testing somewhere else
As Art above said, light would not have died at 3:17, that rule is for knowingly spelling the name wrong 4 times, now the character would be immune to the Death Note, but as Light was trying to spell the name correctly, he isn't punished. That being said, we saw the name wrote at least 6 times, how different might the series have been had the "correct" spelling been after attempt number 4? Does Light chalk it up to coincidence after the second test, and just discard the book? Or run more tests and become obsessed with the one who didn't die? Would be an interesting what-if scenario.
Wait she offed herself? I figured she would have gotten arrested because she was also a suspect in the Kira case and on top of that was connected to Light
@@thecinnamonguy5127 if you watched the end credits of the anime, the last time we see Misa is her standing on the edge of a tall building, and someone as love crazed for Light as she was, it would be almost a guarantee that she would commit death by fall damage once she found out Light is dead
Y'know something I thought about just now that's really sad? Imagine Light's mother in all this, first her husband dies due to this whole Kira thing, then your daughter is kidnapped and left in such a traumatized state she's basically a vegetable, then to top it all of, your son is dead and you find out that he was basically the greatest serial killer of all time and basically was the direct cause of your entire family's suffering.
Pretty sure they mentioned something about keeping Light’s identity a secret but even then. Her husband and son are dead and daughter is mentally scarred for life. What a terrible evil Light brought
He was NOT like that, not even in the manga, he just couldn't accept his death. He would never beg ryuk to spare his life Edit: he couldn't accept he lost altogether, he's not scared of death even in the first chapter he thought he would actually die since he used the death note and looked ryuke in the eye ready to go
@@subwall7464 no, he definitely was terrified of dying when it all came crashing down around him. Yes, he contemplated the possibility of death in the abstract sense when he was safe and warm in his own room, but when it actually came for him, he panicked, begged and acted like the coward he truly was at his core.
@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 hes not. It's the mixture of him losing his god hood, his loss and his competitivity. In The LN L changed the world, rem doesn't kill L and he actually tests the death note, putting light back behind bars, but Light kills himself so L wouldn't solve the case. He's not scared of dying, but that dying means he lost and he cannot accept that
Never trust someone named Kira, Sangwoo, or Mizuki. They are most likely psychos. One Kira sees himself as a GOD, another one has a freaky hand fetish, and another one lost his mind after losing in football.
To be fair, Light's name isn't Kira, he's Light Yagami, it's just, everyone calls him Kira cause that means Killer. Which makes Jojo's Kira a very obvious man when you think about it.
@@darkrite9000 His name is Yoshikage, his last name is kira, his dad's last name was also kira. So maybe people don't think about it much cuz its the last name of everyone in his family.
Wrong , that's Matsuda's theory , and even assuming its correct , that would be after Near got his hands on the real death note by being lucky that Light and Mikami wrote Takada's name at the same time so neither of them noticed that the other made a move and since they killed there only way of contact ( Takada ) , it was already over at that point , but Near didn't plan that as he said his original plan was what Light predicted , so Near would have lost if Mello didn't bring the element of chaos
BRO THANK YOU FOR REFERENCING THOSE WEIRDOS WHO WERE INTO DAHMER. Like it pissed me off especially in terms what the show did to the families of the victims; but what pissed me of the most was girls on social media (mainly TikTok) talking about how they didn’t want him to die as if he was their FAVOURITE CHARACTER and then on top of that said he looked good and wanted to be with him. A). It was OBVIOUS they only said that because they found the actor PORTRAYING HIM attractive. B). THE REAL ONE looks clapped and honestly if the things he did weren’t disgusting to you his appearance would hit you with explosive diarrhoea and projectile vomiting AT THE SAME TIME. C). BUT LASTLY THE GUY SWINGS FOR THE OTHER TEAM HE NOT GONNA LET YOU HIT AND MOST LIKELY GONNA GO FOR YOUR BROTHER OR FATHER.
13:38 I just realized that this in itself is crazy. That means that Light not only used Ray Penbar to kill the other FBI Agents, but he also forced him write in the death note, meaning he also doomed Ray to neither go to heaven or hell and made him a murderer too. Light was cold-blooded. Edit: Just got informed that there is no heaven or hell in Death Note and was a lie that Ryuk made up just for the fun of it. Ray wasn’t doomed with that kind of fate, but he still died a murderer.
Actually, it's turn's out that was bit of a lie or joke by ryuk there is no heaven or hell in death note everyone goes into nothingness, this actually makes killing even worse in death note because their really is nothing after they die in death note you die that's it good evil it doesn't matter they all go into nothingness.
Heaven nor Hell exist in the world of death note, Ryuk was trolling light when he warned him of that, nobody goes to heaven or hell after death, so Ray wasn’t doomed in that way
@@paleflamenah he looks like the char who would for some reason be the gay char that is into the main char that for some reason the author added looking at you future diary and Evangelion
Let it be known, whenever a character slicks their hair back and reveals themselves to be a sociopathic, holier then thou nut bar they will have seen the Light....Yagami. From Josh Groban (Aka Aizen) to Nishikiyama, Ichiro Dazai to Homelander when they slick back, their psycho switch will have been flipped. Thank you Tehsnakerer for coming up with the idea.
Fun fact, the second victim who had that accidental death, the one that tried to force himself on that girl, in the manga he never actually went that far. He was bothering her and not giving up despite being told no, but he never actually did anything illegal there. I've heard that the author has confirmed that it was one of the few deaths Light regretted, since he wasn't an actual criminal. Doubt Light cared that much in the long run, but it's interesting.
I suppose it's possible that there was even a little humanity in Light. But it's not like he was redeemable by any means. It's just a matter of fact. He had a code of ethics. Of sorts. At best, he had a bit of sympathy or pity, but no real compassion I think.
@@Aflay1he was a teenager given the power to get away with murder. that power is what turned him into a monster. when he klled the biker, he had humanity..
by my estimate i believe technically since many murders were prevented by my client, Kira should not be judged by the guilty people he killed, and instead only be judged by the innocents. innocents exclude journalist (not people), politicians (sub-human) and the law enforcement as that was clearly an act of self-defence. in conclusion, my client deserves to be removed from the serial killer title, as a more accurate title would be a morally-grey vigilante. sincerely, Nux Goodman, attourney at law.
I don’t want to add to Light’s god complex, but we all gotta admit that iconic Kira laugh from the last episode is a godtier evil/psychotic laugh. Among the moments any 2000’s anime fan would remember.
The Film Theorists actually tried to tackle an estimated number of deaths caused by the death note (the 4 main users) reaching an average of 46,500 per year so about 279000, thing is crime rates apparently decreased as a result and wars kinda stopped so he may have saved many more. Highly recommend watching the video.
Light: *Writes down biker's name in the Note Truck-Kun: "WHAT'S GOOD Y'ALL?! I just came up with a great new Isekai for you: 'I Was A Biker Reincarnated into a Dungeon Slime'! Hah. Perfect." My sides made it all the way to the afterlife from that one.
Near outsmarting Light was a real Holy Sh1t moment. Like after everything Light goes down like a dog and dies the same exact way so many of his victims of a damn heart attack.
@@lightyoshiman Uh yeah that’s not what I’m talking about, I’m talking about them retroactively and perfectly copying every single page of the Death Note and having it replaced while it was in a heavily secured bank and doing all of that in a span of 24 hours.
135,412 people (My source: Death Note's villainous protagonist Light Yagami is undeniably anime's most famous serial killer. As "Kira, God of the New World" and with the power of the Death Note, Light killed 135,412 people in the name of justice - regardless of whether they were actually evil or not.)
21:29 were not gonna talk about nolos theme from hot wheels acceleracers? Such a goated show!!! Thank you CJ for sharing love to the hot wheels community
I had to put this somewhere before i forgot it, so i figure I put it in the most recent video. I know there's exceptions to the Roundtable of black air force energy, but I suggest adding Symbiote Spiderman to that table. Some souce material to help is: - Marvel Spiderman 2 (game) - Spiderman 3 (movie) - Spiderman: Spider's Shadow (comic) - Spiderman (90's cartoon) I probably missed a few...
The saddest part to me? He was extremely lucky and people were made really fucking dumb decisions especially the FBI LIKE WHY IN THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING WITH THIS SUSPICIOUS ASS BEHAVIOR???
36:07 Fun Fact; Light’s death is a symbolic one because whoever uses the Death Note and dies is doesn’t transcend to the afterlife. He died in the middle of the stairs, symbolizing his failure of reaching heaven nor hell.
Not really that was just ryuk messing with light in reality the reason he said that deathnote users cant go to heaven or hell is becuase they dont exist in the deathnote universe stated in the manga and glossed over quickly in the anime by the end its stated that all humans who die good or evil go to the same place and that place is MU or nothingness ( a Buddhism term) so regardless of how you die in death note good or bad you simply cease to exist lol 😂
@@markcampione3118 the manga yeah, but all incarnations its honestly up to interpretation. Because the live action japanese death movies adapted the manga ending scene and Ryukyu taunts light that he ain't going to heaven or hell when he dies after writing his name. That's one aspect I see get changed in adaptations of the story, honestly I don't think people that adapt death note really like alot of the creators original ideas because they always changing aspects. And honestly I gotta agree but the dude who created death note made alot of out of nowhere revelations on things for no good reason. Like the whole after thing literally came out of nowhere despite Ryukyu stating in the manga that heaven exists. But then in the end had he some conversation with light where he had said it didn't exist? So why the misdirect? You see what I'm saying?
@@MichelangeloVA not to be rude but i don't think ryuk ever says that heaven exist all he said was that any human who uses the deathnote can neither go to heaven or hell however its later revealed that the joke is that the user doesn't go to heaven or hell because no one go to heaven or hell lol 😂 because it doesn't exist its a core part of the series its just that the anime glosses over it so fast in a on screen quote in the last episode and most death note fans didn't read the manga so its mostly unkown
@@markcampione3118 nah in the manga after light dad dies, he mentions since he didn't use the death note he probably went to heaven. On the death note reddit, I've seen people speculate that the creator did have afterlife existing but decided to change it in the end. Which kinda makes sense, and ironic given the live action movie ending. But yeah manga canon, nothing. Other adaptations is up to interpretations.
the way he killed naomi was honestly one of the most gut wrenching scenes i have seen in a show. it reminds me of that autohime massacre scene from code gease
The total number of people killed because of the Kira’s. Lights kills would be 242,112 since he the main Kira, Miss would be 392 because of she was more interested in light than being Kira, Hibachi would be 8,704 since he was a greedy businessman and Mikami would be 27,816 since he is probably the most devoted to light. With a grand total of 274,024 people dead because of light and the other Kira’s. And the crazy part is that it’s just shy of how many people died in WWI. Edit: this is from film theory. That is probably the most accurate count we will have
Spot's theme playing when Light was looking at L as he died was genuine perfection. Also I really hope Death Battle is able to do Light vs Columbo cause I gotta see how they gonna do this I am *invested*
Fun fact, for all of his crimes (including ones listed in the sequel/continuation manga), Light Yagami’s sentence in the US would be 33,890 years in prison-4492 life sentences-and 397 death sentences.
Edit: I counted most killings as single murders and group killing (examples for groups range from the FBI and the massacre after L’s death) with the difference being did he do a bunch in a row. First degree murder is punishable by up to 24 years in prison in most states with mass murder (three murders or more at a time, there is no cap to how high it can go) are death penalties or life sentences. The count also uses all possible minor crimes with maximum punishments as well as his incitement of riots and bringing in multiple accomplices.
I thought it would be higher
If he was in middle east, he would be sentence to death
Still not more than the average pyramid schemer 😭💀
Yap yap yap
Gotdamn 💀💀💀
You might as well bury him under the prison
Lights mom is probably the most saddest moms in anime. Her husband died trying to catch Kira, her daughter is now disabled because she got involved in the Kira case, and the son turned out to be Kira.

Craziest thing in the anime. Light would have won if Takashi did what he was supposed to do. It was his mess up in doing one different thing that led to Light being caught in the end and Light knew that his plan was perfect if the dude didn't panic at that one moment.
Light could have also won easier if he wrote other countries criminals first including Japan and waited on killing Lind L. Taylor until a few hours after the broadcast or just not kill him at all, his ego screwed him
If Light's Father had killed Mello, he would have won for sure being as Near stated that Mello was the reason that he had suspected there might have been a 2nd notebook. Therefore if Light's Dad didn't hesitate, Light would have won.
Takashi? Or mikami**

What he did to Naomi still gives me chills. Bro even taunted her.
Her death was so sad 😢
Knew he was going out sad the minute he did that to her, there was 0 way he was escaping clean once boy jumped off that cliff
Facts I feel like this was his worst kill tbh
It was beautiful...
Yeah, her death was so tragic. The episode with her is always hard to watch .
The most damning thing about Light wasn't even the fact that the moment his power was threatened. He chose to kill innocents without hesitation.
Nah he went through a whole arc with amnesia. Working with L, being good friends with him. You see the man he couldve been if he never had the Death Note. The moment he gets his memories back. There is no delay, no internal conflict, no hesitation, nothing. Where most characters in this scenario change their ways or contemplate their choices. Light just went right on back to being an evil mastermind with no pause whatsoever. Absolutely vile.
The owner of a death note is possessed by the shinigami.its says so in one of the slides inbtweeen scenes. Like the ones that show the rules of the notebook. I don't think many people noticed it. That's why they show his eyes red like ryuks.

I think it's more effective, or most effective, that everything Light does was all his doing, rather than him being outright mind-controlled.
Like, Ryuk implies this was all Light's doing, and Ryuk was just in it for the show. And frankly, he knew the outcome, but it was no skin off his back how we get to that point.
It felt less like Ryuk playing Light like a fiddle, and more like "the game was rigged from the start" kind of thing. And Light was genuinely a terrible, psychotic person.....
And we know this because....Light isn't the only one who has a Shinigami. Light is the single most psychotic character for all intents and purposes with no interventions one way or the other.
What's jarring is simply how easily his neurotic tendencies got set off with a mere power trip.
Not to mention, Light is an absolute manipulator in Jump Victory Vs. He never has any intrinsic power or killing capability. He just goes full Lelouch mode anyway and controls everybody, villains AND heroes. Call it fanfiction. I thought it was surprisingly good writing.
I think at his core, Light is just a manipulative dude with a God complex. Since episode 1. Just needed that little push.
The crazy thing about the amnesia thing is he's such a conceited manipulator, he even manipulated himself. Gave himself amnesia, made himself innocent, set himself up to be tormented in jail and everything. He turned himself into a victim in his own experiment. He is THAT motha fucka.
Light Yagami's kill count is beyond serial killer levels. Dude is a straight up war criminal.

Raye's death in the first Japanese live action film is even more tragic. Light actually SMILES while Raye is dying and Naomi who followed her fiancé her last moment with Raye is when he dies from his heart attack and Light didn't care to where he just goes about his business as usual
If there is one thing *Death Note* taught me is that if a random overpowered item is dropped on Earth then most definetly someone is going to abuse it and develop a god complex.
Depending on what it does also I say it a ten percent out of one hundred since there genuinely bad people but there also has to be genuinely good people but power can corrupt people with good morals

The fact that Matsuda, the dumbest and most trusting member of the task force was the first person to be on Light so he couldnt kill anyone was poetic justice, and the fact he had such pinpoint accuracy that he only took lights hands out without killing him outright

Thats wild lowkey.
Its a lowball though, it's prolly higher than that.
I believe that by the end of the series, Light is estimated to have killed around 124,925 people. This number includes both criminals and those who opposed him.
Light’s use of the Death Note to eliminate criminals and create a “new world” free of crime ultimately led to his downfall. His actions and the resulting death toll highlight the series’ exploration of the consequences of absolute power and moral corruption.

The ending in the manga is a bit different to the ending in the anime. And the ending in the manga definitely hammers home how Light was nothing more than an egotistical man baby with a God complex, with him begging and crying about how he doesn't want to die at the feet of Ryuk as the whole task force just watches.
Light was ruthless. Him eating those potato chips was an anime masterpiece 😂.

"I'll take my meat, and beat it!"

I think one of the scariest things about Light is that, unlike most anime villains, or protagonists, that turn to a dark path... Light didn’t have a tragic backstory.
No dead relatives, no dead Momma (*glared at the live action version*), nothing.
The dude had a relatively normal life and chose to be evil.
If anything, it's frightening because it shows that *anyone* could be like him. Hell we probably have walked past guys like Light/Kira and we wouldn't know because of how easily people like him can blend into society.
Had a normal life yes. But he was far from normal. I mean, the mf had a high asf IQ combined with his ego and god complex
the fact that people are so willing to excuse atrocity as to assume there is always a tragic back story is much scarier and also just a pretty awful way to frame victims as potential threats. this is the kinda dumb logic that has people blaming school shootings on bullying.
look up the story of Ted bundy dude literally was example of a normal dude in disguise

What makes this all the more sad that Light yagami was born to a loving family a supportive mother a caring sister and a father who fully trusted his son to a point of his death he had no idea his son was kira.....this sick twisted psychopath played on people emotions to fulll effect and he didnt show any form of remorse even when he died
Its safe to say this kind of peraon was never meant to exist
the worst kind of villain is the one without a tragic backstory
Clear example that power corrupts absolutely.
It’s a bit of a stretch ngl. The dude did manage to make the world a better place
Light literally does show remorse in his final moments, did you miss the part where he’s sobbing in sadness and remembering his innocence?
@@joshuaagee-bass4049 That’s because he got caught and was about to die. If he wasn’t in those circumstances he wouldn’t regret his choices as he seemingly got his pie (killing people out of his lust for power) and ate it (Remaining inconspicuous and alive), but only did so once those choices and murders finally cost him his life. It’s like a nihilist who claims to be indifferent to death for themselves begging for mercy once their life is in actual grave danger of ending to the people or person who put them in that position. In Light’s case, he was regretting nothing until his life was about to end in which he starts begging for mercy from Ryuk and the task force as he was cocky enough to think he was getting away with all of it alive; he only regrets the consequences he’s now experiencing, not the actual actions committed.

The moment he killed that FBI agent, he went too far. I literally remember going "Why couldn't you just stick to the serious criminals, Light?" the first time I saw that scene.
Cos Light was never meant to be a protagonist that the audience roots for.
And personally, i wish more mainstream anime explored this path.

@@josebustamante9182Dude, Light killing Ray literally made L MORE suspicious. If Light just minded his own damn business and run the world like he said he wanted, he would’ve been fine.

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

Actually in another anime called death parade made by the same animation studio as deathnote it was seen that Light Yagami, after his death in Death Note, ended up in the afterlife, where he was judged like all other souls.
Which is not really possible, as the Death Note rules state that its users go to neither Heaven nor Hell
This guy bro.
This fucking guy. Few people have god complexes like this guy
Bro, he wrote the literal definition of god complex!!!
he was right tho. God complex plus socially benefitial actions = win for everybody
I've never seen death note but no way he started crashing out cause the shinagami basically said," damn he called you a b*tch on a televised broadcast in 4k me personally I wouldn't take that level of disrespect but that's just me" bro felt for the oldest trick in the book 😭😭💀
@bigred212 dw bro he didnt lol, he basically said "if no one else will.. then I WILL!" Then he eventually got so absorbed by his own god complex he killed anyone who was a problem for him
@@surgiosurge If he was right, then why did the global crime rate shoot up higher than it originally was after he died? Light’s crusade against crime was nothing more than removing the symptoms of the problem. The Death Note couldn’t do anything to actually fix the underlying causes of crime. The entire thing was just some kid with a god complex getting his hands on enough power to do whatever he had always wanted to do.
13:20 what gets me the most about Ray's death is not only did light kill him, but he also doomed his soul by forcing him to use the deathnote😭😭
No way! I never realized that!
Bro I never thought of that before. That is crazy, now I feel even worse because Naomi if there is a heaven in universe, won't get to see Ray again.

Hey, catch!
I actually rewatched this few months ago. Its amazing how they fit all that conclusion into just 37 episodes and came out amazingly just like Cowboy bebop with just 26 episodes. Start to end, perfect story with all answered except whatever you make up to know
I'd argue the shinigami being so willing to literally kill themselves for Misa could have used a bit more explaining. I wouldn't care about it but Light using Rem to kill L takes away from his character big time imo.
@thevermintide1290 well not 100% sure why the 1st one did...but I know in the manga Rem been watching Misa from the shinigami realm amd developed some type of feelings for her and see her as a pure person. Like she says she's different from other human beings who uses the death note for their own selfish gains or reasons but not Misa. She doesn't do this at all an she thought that Light was also a Pure person since he was killing off all the bad people an she saw that as it benefiting the world and not just himself. But did threaten if he tries to kill Misa then she'll kill him. But I think it's Light's character since he uses everyone for his plan. Even used Ryuk by him apples or not giving him apples so he will do what he wants at times
@@YourOnlyHero Oh yeah I understand Rem had been watching Misa and liked her. I just don't think its explained well why that translates into her being devoted enough to Misa to justify offing themselves for her. Also Rem threatened Light early on but also knowingly let Light put misa in a situation to get caught. The rest of the story is peak but the Rem/Misa situation is a weak point imo.
Near and Mello’s arc came out very rushed.
List of things CJ didn’t explain.
3:17 Light almost killed himself writing this guy’s name, because it was explained in the Death Note that if the user purposely wrote the person’s name wrong 4 times in a row, not only will the person being written on there be free of the Death Note, but the user will die.
18:12 Misa had it made. As dumb as she may be some, if not most of the times, she was good. Because what CJ forgot to mention was that shinigamis if they care for the human to the point where they would sacrifice themselves to save them from the assailant by writing the assailant‘s name on the Death Note, that human the shinigami saved gets his/her lifespan. Assuming the shinigamis had bodies on their Death Note written before meeting Misa and sacrificing themselves, Misa could live for countless generations. So cutting her lifespan in half twice over wouldn’t really affect her at all.
27:26 100,000+ is a lowball for Light his actual count has to be within the range of 344,195 bodies give or take a few 40+.
And finally even though Misa had longevity, she still couldn’t live without Light. It was strongly mentioned that shortly after Light’s death, she not-alived herself.
I just learned about her longevity through you so thanks!
3:17 Light wouldn’t have died though
Light offered an honest attempt at spelling this guy’s name so if he failed, this would count as him accidentally writing the guy’s name wrong four times and he’d stay alive, it’s just that he wouldn’t be able to kill the guy again, so he’d have to continue his testing somewhere else
As Art above said, light would not have died at 3:17, that rule is for knowingly spelling the name wrong 4 times, now the character would be immune to the Death Note, but as Light was trying to spell the name correctly, he isn't punished.
That being said, we saw the name wrote at least 6 times, how different might the series have been had the "correct" spelling been after attempt number 4? Does Light chalk it up to coincidence after the second test, and just discard the book? Or run more tests and become obsessed with the one who didn't die? Would be an interesting what-if scenario.
Wait she offed herself? I figured she would have gotten arrested because she was also a suspect in the Kira case and on top of that was connected to Light
@@thecinnamonguy5127 if you watched the end credits of the anime, the last time we see Misa is her standing on the edge of a tall building, and someone as love crazed for Light as she was, it would be almost a guarantee that she would commit death by fall damage once she found out Light is dead
Light is basically Dexter, but on a whole Nother level
Light is the definition of "if the police wont do it. I will"
Fr
If the law doesn't do it. He will
We have many of that irl fr
Y'know something I thought about just now that's really sad? Imagine Light's mother in all this, first her husband dies due to this whole Kira thing, then your daughter is kidnapped and left in such a traumatized state she's basically a vegetable, then to top it all of, your son is dead and you find out that he was basically the greatest serial killer of all time and basically was the direct cause of your entire family's suffering.
The mom and sister suffered the most on god
Pretty sure they mentioned something about keeping Light’s identity a secret but even then. Her husband and son are dead and daughter is mentally scarred for life. What a terrible evil Light brought
Light, "I am a God!"
Also Light when finally cornered, "No, no please don't kill me!"

@@subwall7464 no, he definitely was terrified of dying when it all came crashing down around him.

Never trust someone named Kira, Sangwoo, or Mizuki. They are most likely psychos. One Kira sees himself as a GOD, another one has a freaky hand fetish, and another one lost his mind after losing in football.
Nah, there's one kira you forgot, and he's the G.O.A.T
@@NilimaBhoyar-f9g 😂 I knew I forgot somebody. Everyone named Kira is automatically put on a watch list for weirdos or menaces.
@@AsterAquila Everyone except the G.O.A.T
To be fair, Light's name isn't Kira, he's Light Yagami, it's just, everyone calls him Kira cause that means Killer. Which makes Jojo's Kira a very obvious man when you think about it.
@@darkrite9000 His name is Yoshikage, his last name is kira, his dad's last name was also kira. So maybe people don't think about it much cuz its the last name of everyone in his family.
LIGHT TWERKING ON L’S GRAVE GOT ME DYING “HAWK TUAH” 😭
I thought he said “FUCK YUAH!”
Those cheeks were MOVING
Nah that’s crazy 💀
Bow bow bow bow booty meat 😂
Light: I want to create a new world.
Everyone: Cool motive, still murder.
Peralta that you brother?
God be like
Wesker: First time?
What if yagami light was in resident evil series
If light yagami appeared in the real world, the world would lost so many politicians
"This local crackhead was the first victim if Light." 😂😂😂
This shit about funny as hell
Man... You're the GOAT man... The sounds and memes... It just does it for me. Never stop
Fun fact: Near managed to expose Light as Kira by giving Mikami a fake death note and had him write down everyone’s names EXCEPT for Light’s
Wrong , that's Matsuda's theory , and even assuming its correct , that would be after Near got his hands on the real death note by being lucky that Light and Mikami wrote Takada's name at the same time so neither of them noticed that the other made a move and since they killed there only way of contact ( Takada ) , it was already over at that point , but Near didn't plan that as he said his original plan was what Light predicted , so Near would have lost if Mello didn't bring the element of chaos
30:22 Light just like me fr. I’m too menacing to be on the table.
BRO THANK YOU FOR REFERENCING THOSE WEIRDOS WHO WERE INTO DAHMER. Like it pissed me off especially in terms what the show did to the families of the victims; but what pissed me of the most was girls on social media (mainly TikTok) talking about how they didn’t want him to die as if he was their FAVOURITE CHARACTER and then on top of that said he looked good and wanted to be with him.
A). It was OBVIOUS they only said that because they found the actor PORTRAYING HIM attractive.
B). THE REAL ONE looks clapped and honestly if the things he did weren’t disgusting to you his appearance would hit you with explosive diarrhoea and projectile vomiting AT THE SAME TIME.
C). BUT LASTLY THE GUY SWINGS FOR THE OTHER TEAM HE NOT GONNA LET YOU HIT AND MOST LIKELY GONNA GO FOR YOUR BROTHER OR FATHER.
35:38 I like how you put Roxas’s background music from Kingdom Hearts at the end of the video🔥🔥🔥
13:38 I just realized that this in itself is crazy. That means that Light not only used Ray Penbar to kill the other FBI Agents, but he also forced him write in the death note, meaning he also doomed Ray to neither go to heaven or hell and made him a murderer too. Light was cold-blooded.
Edit: Just got informed that there is no heaven or hell in Death Note and was a lie that Ryuk made up just for the fun of it. Ray wasn’t doomed with that kind of fate, but he still died a murderer.
Am I crazy or was the death note pages that ray wrote was way taller and bigger than the ones in the death note
Yoooooo. I never thought about it like that. That's heartless. You opened my eyes!!!!
Actually, it's turn's out that was bit of a lie or joke by ryuk there is no heaven or hell in death note everyone goes into nothingness, this actually makes killing even worse in death note because their really is nothing after they die in death note you die that's it good evil it doesn't matter they all go into nothingness.
@@blackmagic5261 Damn, Ryuk fr the ultimate troll
Heaven nor Hell exist in the world of death note, Ryuk was trolling light when he warned him of that, nobody goes to heaven or hell after death, so Ray wasn’t doomed in that way
I just can't get over how "UwU" fits Misa character so well...
Also 28:04 is the kind of humor I love about you, CJ lol
Light really does look like a background character🤣
Funny cause a background character in Death Parade looks like Light.
That or hentai protagonist.
@@paleflamenah he looks like the char who would for some reason be the gay char that is into the main char that for some reason the author added looking at you future diary and Evangelion
@@jaymercer4515pretty sure that was Light in the show as an easter egg
@@sanicboi9187 Same
You know this man a good conetent creator when he can entertain hundreds of thousands of people, while only posting once or twice a month
Fr
I’d consider Misa kind of an indirect victim too since she threw herself straight off a building after he died 😩🫠
💔
I have been waiting over years for this video. Thanks
Let it be known, whenever a character slicks their hair back and reveals themselves to be a sociopathic, holier then thou nut bar they will have seen the Light....Yagami. From Josh Groban (Aka Aizen) to Nishikiyama, Ichiro Dazai to Homelander when they slick back, their psycho switch will have been flipped. Thank you Tehsnakerer for coming up with the idea.

Fun fact, the second victim who had that accidental death, the one that tried to force himself on that girl, in the manga he never actually went that far. He was bothering her and not giving up despite being told no, but he never actually did anything illegal there. I've heard that the author has confirmed that it was one of the few deaths Light regretted, since he wasn't an actual criminal. Doubt Light cared that much in the long run, but it's interesting.
I suppose it's possible that there was even a little humanity in Light.
But it's not like he was redeemable by any means. It's just a matter of fact. He had a code of ethics. Of sorts.
At best, he had a bit of sympathy or pity, but no real compassion I think.
@@Aflay1he was a teenager given the power to get away with murder. that power is what turned him into a monster. when he klled the biker, he had humanity..
by my estimate i believe technically since many murders were prevented by my client, Kira should not be judged by the guilty people he killed, and instead only be judged by the innocents.
innocents exclude journalist (not people), politicians (sub-human) and the law enforcement as that was clearly an act of self-defence.
in conclusion, my client deserves to be removed from the serial killer title, as a more accurate title would be a morally-grey vigilante.
sincerely,

I join my voice to this factual estimate.

OK FORGIVE ME BUT THIS VIDEO WAS AWESOME!! and i cant tell you how excited i am for next challenger
I don’t want to add to Light’s god complex, but we all gotta admit that iconic Kira laugh from the last episode is a godtier evil/psychotic laugh. Among the moments any 2000’s anime fan would remember.
The Film Theorists actually tried to tackle an estimated number of deaths caused by the death note (the 4 main users) reaching an average of 46,500 per year so about 279000, thing is crime rates apparently decreased as a result and wars kinda stopped so he may have saved many more. Highly recommend watching the video.
Imagine outsmarting the worlds best detective only to be beaten by some 14 year old who sat like L.
His plot armor ran out that's why that awful ending happened
The show was good but the ending was not it. Like I had a feeling they were gonna take L off just so his predecessor could come in
@@highsourjamapple9141 They took the last half of the manga and compressed it into the last 1/3rd of the show, thats why things felt so rushed
@@xmedssh7927 fr bro
Mello beat him, Near just provided the evidence.
Who made that remix of L's theme at 7:06 ? It's really good.
Light: *Writes down biker's name in the Note
Truck-Kun: "WHAT'S GOOD Y'ALL?! I just came up with a great new Isekai for you: 'I Was A Biker Reincarnated into a Dungeon Slime'! Hah. Perfect."
My sides made it all the way to the afterlife from that one.
Light wrote your name to die by laughing
The amount manipulation that Light has is so fascinating and probably the best if seen in an anime
Near outsmarting Light was a real Holy Sh1t moment. Like after everything Light goes down like a dog and dies the same exact way so many of his victims of a damn heart attack.
Crazy how with that near more hated than light is for that
It was also literally impossible, straight up the Author wrote himself into a corner and created the greatest asspull in Mainstream Seinen History.
@@maylabrown4584 Near openly admitted that if Mello didn't do what he did Near and his entire squad as well as lights squad would have been killed
@@maylabrown4584Death Note was in Shounen Jump, what you mean "seinen"?
@@lightyoshiman Uh yeah that’s not what I’m talking about, I’m talking about them retroactively and perfectly copying every single page of the Death Note and having it replaced while it was in a heavily secured bank and doing all of that in a span of 24 hours.
I gotta say this was the most hillarious recap i have ever watched 😆Well done man, my stomach hurts from laughter, epic shit.
135,412 people (My source:
Death Note's villainous protagonist Light Yagami is undeniably anime's most famous serial killer. As "Kira, God of the New World" and with the power of the Death Note, Light killed 135,412 people in the name of justice - regardless of whether they were actually evil or not.)
Good enough for me

21:29 were not gonna talk about nolos theme from hot wheels acceleracers? Such a goated show!!! Thank you CJ for sharing love to the hot wheels community
I didn’t think I was the only one who heard that. 😂
Brings back memories
And it's not the fisrt time he used that ost he also used it the video talking about Roberta. Acceleracers deserved a proper continuation.
@@Rodrigo_Scisoar yessssss. But the directors bailed which sucks.
I had to put this somewhere before i forgot it, so i figure I put it in the most recent video.
I know there's exceptions to the Roundtable of black air force energy, but I suggest adding Symbiote Spiderman to that table.
Some souce material to help is:
- Marvel Spiderman 2 (game)
- Spiderman 3 (movie)
- Spiderman: Spider's Shadow (comic)
- Spiderman (90's cartoon)
I probably missed a few...
The saddest part to me? He was extremely lucky and people were made really fucking dumb decisions especially the FBI LIKE WHY IN THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING WITH THIS SUSPICIOUS ASS BEHAVIOR???
Mostly because no one really suspected him but L, though they didn't take his words into consideration. They fumbled too hard
@@highsourjamapple9141 Thank You.
L would have caught him if he didnt annouce himself.
36:07 Fun Fact; Light’s death is a symbolic one because whoever uses the Death Note and dies is doesn’t transcend to the afterlife. He died in the middle of the stairs, symbolizing his failure of reaching heaven nor hell.
Not really that was just ryuk messing with light
in reality the reason he said that deathnote users cant go to heaven or hell is becuase they dont exist in the deathnote universe
stated in the manga and glossed over quickly in the anime by the end its stated
that all humans who die good or evil go to the same place and that place is MU or nothingness ( a Buddhism term)
so regardless of how you die in death note good or bad you simply cease to exist lol 😂
@@markcampione3118 the manga yeah, but all incarnations its honestly up to interpretation. Because the live action japanese death movies adapted the manga ending scene and Ryukyu taunts light that he ain't going to heaven or hell when he dies after writing his name. That's one aspect I see get changed in adaptations of the story, honestly I don't think people that adapt death note really like alot of the creators original ideas because they always changing aspects. And honestly I gotta agree but the dude who created death note made alot of out of nowhere revelations on things for no good reason. Like the whole after thing literally came out of nowhere despite Ryukyu stating in the manga that heaven exists. But then in the end had he some conversation with light where he had said it didn't exist? So why the misdirect? You see what I'm saying?
@@MichelangeloVA not to be rude but i don't think ryuk ever says that heaven exist
all he said was that any human who uses the deathnote can neither go to heaven or hell
however its later revealed that the joke is that the user doesn't go to heaven or hell because
no one go to heaven or hell lol 😂 because it doesn't exist
its a core part of the series its just that the anime glosses over it so fast in a on screen quote in the last episode and most death note fans didn't read the manga so its mostly unkown
@@markcampione3118 nah in the manga after light dad dies, he mentions since he didn't use the death note he probably went to heaven. On the death note reddit, I've seen people speculate that the creator did have afterlife existing but decided to change it in the end. Which kinda makes sense, and ironic given the live action movie ending. But yeah manga canon, nothing. Other adaptations is up to interpretations.
Huh.
the way he killed naomi was honestly one of the most gut wrenching scenes i have seen in a show. it reminds me of that autohime massacre scene from code gease
if i told you that this video made me finish death note, yall wouldnt believe me. cj, youre fr the champ
17:06 the fact that it shows a noose inplies she hung herself somewhere no one could find like deep in the forest
So Logan Paul found the body?
So the key to solving the Naomi Misora case this whole time was Logan Paul
NAAAAAAWWW @@EddieDaleJr.
The total number of people killed because of the Kira’s. Lights kills would be 242,112 since he the main Kira, Miss would be 392 because of she was more interested in light than being Kira, Hibachi would be 8,704 since he was a greedy businessman and Mikami would be 27,816 since he is probably the most devoted to light. With a grand total of 274,024 people dead because of light and the other Kira’s. And the crazy part is that it’s just shy of how many people died in WWI.
Edit: this is from film theory. That is probably the most accurate count we will have
Bruh what wasn't WWI like 17 million, Germany, Russia, France, Britain and Turkey lost way more than 300k people each
14:35 the fact that he got Kira’s music playing for Kira is so funny and perfect
No

4:34 “Enjoy being unemployed with Dr.Disrespect” LMAOOO
Spot's theme playing when Light was looking at L as he died was genuine perfection. Also I really hope Death Battle is able to do Light vs Columbo cause I gotta see how they gonna do this I am *invested*
As soon as I search up to see another Cj Dachamp I saw Light YAGAMI and instantly started clicking it
This is amazing found my guy🙌🏾🙌🏾👊🏾
