given how much you guys love deducing and the love for the side character i think you guys are really going to enjoy this whole ride through. lots of people dont feel as strong going forward, but given a 15m intro and 20m outro, yall will be fine
I'm one who loves Death Note till the end, a lot of people have problems with the story-telling post-L, but in my opinion the show is still fantastic without L and I love the finale.
I mean, the comparison is imagine you get this perfect steak as your main meal. It's great - perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, it just gives you bundles of joy with each bite. And it satisfies you. And then the dessert comes in and you expect something that will match the deliciousness of the steak, but instead it's just a shitty, dollar-store cupcake.

@@VG-fk6nk You can thank the anime for that. They properly adapted L's half and then cut a bunch of content from everything afterwards.

@@Dickfama Yup, for sure. Near's deductions are shown more, Mello has more presence as an antagonist and we get more insight into Light's thought process. Not to mention the epilogue they removed and the altered ending.
Wooow, I had never heard of that deleted scene. Just watched it now and my jaw dropped through the floor. How come that didn't make it into the anime?? It's insanely good. Thanks for sharing!
Loving the reactions and hype surrounding this show. This episode is more of a slow paced recap giving us L's thoughts on the events for the first time, and helps because of the shock of losing him, but as you noted it also is like a farewell to L as a way of highlighting his achievements during the show. A few things to note if someone else hadn't. All spoiler free Wammy's place is an orphanage founded by Watari and was used to raise intelligent children, with L being the greatest achievement from it. His true name is L Lawliet but the letter L is meant to stand for "Last one" or "Lonely one". In preparation for the death of L, the brightest from the home would be selected to take his place and they were named "A". After a while, A committed suicide due to the high pressure of being the one to succeed L. A 2nd child was then selected to succeed L and was named B for "Backup". This child was known as Beyond Birthday and was somehow born with shinigami eyes (no-one knows why). He defected from the home and tried to create an impossible crime that even L couldn't solve. This is even mentioned in the show with Naomi Misora when L says "she helped me with the Los Angeles BB murder cases". Its a light novel that's Canon to the story and is a really good read if you feel like it. Also, there is an extra episode for L's funeral and doesn't appear in the manga, so is anime only. I recommend to check it out.
Damn...I feel you so much on Ls death...I personally didn't watch Death Note for a month after 25 episode...it hurt me so much and I thought it would go downhill from then but when I returned I liked the ending and was surprised by it so I can't wait for your next reactions
I just wanted to comment that I'm really enjoying your reactions to Death Note. I'm not like a proactive follower or anything but I've discovered you just in the past few months and I'm always looking for your next episode. Cheers from Italy!
I think it was a few years at least because Light entered university at the start of the series. And they said at age 23 he joined the police force. So if a year passed when they were working on the Kira case then Light would be 19 when L died. So maybe 4 years passed.
It does still get really good still and I think you will be satisfied with the rest and the ending. I get what you mean about Lights character. I cannot think of another character that I have such a love/hate for. Ben, it looks like L's death broke you, me to 🥺🥺 There is an L funeral scene that was not in the anime, but I would avoid watching that until you have finished the series.
When you were talking about Kira's Will is now law, it seemed like you were under the impression Kira only killed mostly in Japan but this is not the case. The first days of Kira he was knocking off top criminals from all around the world which is why the world gathered in conference on the second episode because America's most wanted entire list just died as did big named ones in prisons. L is the one who notices the pharmacy robber with the hostages is a "small crime compared to the other victims" so Armed Robbery and Hostages are small compared to Kira's other targets and was done during the crime as opposed to after the report and this is why L assumes Kira is Japanese.
@@An1mystics each to their own opinion. I mean, I'm not saying that the anime version is bad, far from it. I just personally think that the storytelling in the manga was much more fleshed out and the ending reflects that. If people disagree that's fine
I think he was seventeen, but he turned 18 before the time-skip. Either during the Yotsuba arc, or the time skip in episode 9. Either way, the time-skip was 5 years.
@@luitjenapol2815 Probably not. Because Light was studying for his entrance exams for university when we first met him. We even see him take the exam and go to his entrance ceremony. That means before the time skip he was a Senior going on a First Year in University, which would make him 18-19.
@@Omega6489 This is in Japan, I'm not sure if the system is the same as in the US, and either way, google it, you'll see I'm right, or the death not wiki is wrong. In the Manga, Light's birthday is the 28th of February 1986, which is pretty interesting btw. The first episode in the manga takes place in 2003. The anime is 3 years later, meaning Light would be born in 1989, so he would be 16-17 in 2006. I would guess it begins around fall 2006. In episode 7 it snows, which indicates we're close to christmas, and Japanese school years end in march according to google, so episode 9 might've been in late February 2007, before Light turned 18, then after the time skip we're around march-april, so we would have skipped past his birthday. I'm sure I heard them say he's 17 in the show too, but I can't put my finger on where or when. Edit: I just went and checked, and in episode 13, when Misa is looking at Light's profile on his computer, it says he's born in 1989, and we know the anime starts in 2006, so I am correct. Not sure about the whole senior situation though.
21:50 This is one of the reasons of why I prefer the anime over the manga. The manga is much more direct about the fact that Light and L hate each other. Moments like Light seeing this ilussion of L sitting next to him, or the rain scene, or L washing Light's feet aren't in the manga. And those moments make much more ambiguous and richer their relationship. Because it kind of seems like they appreciate each other or that they're're aware that this is a lost opportunity to be friends, or that at least they respect each other as enemies for making everything less boring. In the manga otherwise, they're just straight up enemies which I guess is still good, but much more one dimentional considering that both were together (handcuffed) for like 3 months. The very ending of the anime (which I won't spoil) also has a subtle detail that makes you think that Light actually felt something for L further than just being enemies.
There is actually a prequel light novel, about Naomi Misora's case under L, the BB Murder case. But you shouldn't check it out before you haven't finished the series.
36:50 I just realized I accidentally skipped ahead when readjusting my tablet 23:36 THE LIKED ONE DAMN 31:54 I JUST REAL- REMEMBERED. TUBE? HELICOPTER? BOX? these almost not images. Guess it's good I can't remember for sure
I think theres a referience that Light turn in to his 23 and join the police ,and when they were with L ,I believe his around his colleage freshman age,that.might kind of knowing the time gap
So since this will never be addressed in the show, this isn't a spoiler per say, but L's real name is.......... L, yes his actual first name was L, and his last name is Lawliet
I don't see what's the point of commenting since you don't read this, but I must say I'm really glad you don't read comments. Otherwise you'll be spoiled heavily (at least on AOT).
@@julianw7097 ok he doesn’t kill light in that clip, doesn’t hint that that’s what he’s going to do outside “this will be boring now” and EVEN then it can’t be a spoiler because he str8 up says in so 2 “and I’ll be writing your name in my note when it’s your time to die,’z this is the agreement between all Shino gain and humans who pick up a death note”wanna try again “specifically” this time?
I would absolutely love it if they just sticked to the manga. Now i just tell everyone to read the manga and then watch the anime to make it come to life with the music while you still know the better version of the plot. So many good scenes were cut.
Listen we all agree that Light Yagami is unhinged, but try to understand him from a positive point of view. Just like most of us, if we had the power to end the worst of the worst.... or at least me I would consider it. I mean from rapists to world class sadistic soulless criminals, when you experience or even hear about it from other people you can't help as a human but at least imagining yourself ending the suffering of other good humans and end the life of the ones causing it. Light made the notebook get to his head, deep down he always wanted to heal the world but that small part manefisted itself in a negative way because his brain didn't take time ti adjust to the idea of a Note that can kill from a distance. He loved the power of the note, he might've had a an evil side before the deathnote yeah like we all do but it wasn't enabled to this degree. it was supressed by his good consciousness. If all humans look deep down, trust me no one would even judge Light or the likes of light in the real world but say he's just lost his path trying to do good.
Just type Deathnote L's funeral on youtube and watch it. It's quite an image and a heartfelt funeral. By heart felt I meant insane cause the laugh will make The Joker proud!
I feel like you guess forgot this, but there are three death notes in the possesion of a human right now, at least to our knowledge. Light took Rem's death note, so him and Misa have a death note each, and chief Yagami hid one. Edit: I wouldn't say that Light killing Aiber, Wedy and the Yotsuba group was because they were criminals, but more because they they were involved with the investigation. They had knowledge about Kira, so if he could kill them, why wouldn't he?
You two would LOVE season 1 of Promised Neverland. The show is basically made for you. Unfortunately season 2 is almost universally regarded as really, really bad :(
