Congrats on getting them!
Could Lieutenant Columbo solve the Kira case?
Can painter raise the dancing cloud the feet light y’all give me or can pain the dancing clown notice where you could tesy Mikami without even touching the death note note
I learnt more about Sherlock homes lore in this video than I would have through general cultural social and memetical osmosis
Do whether Lelouch can solve the kira case
No joke, I’ve read the entire Sherlock Holmes series, light stands absolutely ZERO chance
With the slightest clue Sherlock gets, Light would have a 99% chance of being caught...
The DN characters are brilliant. But Holmes is a monster. Even in fiction, hardly anyone can match his reasoning ability...
@@Fran-tf6rz only mycroft and moriarty match holmes
@@ola_eboda i think eurus but yeah no one
Nah I swear to god, for those who don’t know:
When Sherlock Holmes first met Watson: he deducted that Watson was coming from a war in Afghanistan as a medic and was extremely sick in a few seconds by seeing on him: dirt and bad posture or some trivial BS. He’s a beast
@@Fran-tf6rz koji and johan are smarter than sherlock
Holy crap, I genuinely didn't know how big brain Sherlock was. Sure, I already knew that he was an absolutely amazing detective, but I didn't know that he could do things like this. 14:44
my favorite moment in Sherlock uk was when he deciphered that picture of numbers as a 747 plane, named the airport and a time range in a matter of seconds.

also, in that exact scene (ive watched it) there was technology at the time but there wasnt any time to search it up. also sherlock knew NOTHING about space and the stars. watson evennsaid afterwards it wouldve helped a lot if he knew.
BBC Sherlock is written so ridiculously it’s kind of a meme
Kind of unrelated,but the other reason I like Sherlock besides his amazing reasoning ability,is that he can literally fight 😅
Like a wrestling match,against a price fighter.
Sherlock Holmes: The Kira Case
Scene: 1 - Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were ensconced within their legendary office on Baker Street when Inspector Lestrade, a high-ranking detective in the London police force, burst in with an air of urgency.
Inspector Lestrade: Sherlock Holmes, I am greatly relieved to find you at this juncture. We find ourselves embroiled in a most intriguing case, and I implore your sagacity and acumen to aid us.
Sherlock Holmes: Forgive my interruption, Inspector Lestrade. Before you proceed, may I deduce the nature of this case? Your countenance and urgency lead me to surmise that it involves a matter of grave consequence.
Inspector Lestrade, slightly taken aback by Holmes' interruption, nodded in agreement.
Inspector Lestrade: Indeed, Holmes. Your intuition serves you well. We are faced with a perplexing series of incidents involving sudden and inexplicable cardiac arrests. The victims, as far as we can ascertain, are known criminals. The cause behind these mysterious deaths eludes us.
Sherlock Holmes: Ah, the game is afoot! These circumstances are quite intriguing, Inspector. A string of cardiac arrests afflicting known criminals raises several pertinent questions. Are there any commonalities among the victims? Are there external factors at play that manipulate their cardiac systems?
Inspector Lestrade: Your deductions, Holmes, are indeed astute. In recent days, this individuals are from various walks of life and have met their demise through this unexplained fate. Without exception, have no history of health issues or any other plausible cause that could account for their sudden deaths.
Sherlock Holmes: Fascinating, Inspector Lestrade. The fact that these individuals hail from different regions and backgrounds, yet share a common fate, is indeed intriguing. Please indulge me further. Can you provide a breakdown of the regions from which they originated?
Inspector Lestrade: Certainly, Holmes. The victims span various cities and countries, with a concentration of cases centered around London. Two of the deceased were notorious criminals who operated within the confines of our fair city. The remaining victims were scattered across different localities outside the United Kingdom. Some hailed from the bustling streets of New York City, while others were involved in criminal enterprises in Paris and Tokyo.
Sherlock Holmes, absorbing the information with a keen focus, allowed his mind to delve into the depths of his extensive knowledge and experience.
Sherlock Holmes: Remarkable, Lestrade. We are dealing with a web of criminal activity that spans borders, a tapestry woven by the darkest elements of society. It seems that these targeted individuals were all prominent figures within the criminal underworld, notorious for their malevolence and heinous acts.
Sherlock Holmes: Inspector... might you enlighten me as to the total number of victims in this case? How many lives have been claimed thus far?
Inspector Lestrade: We have documented a total of 37 victims over the course of two days. The first day saw 14 unfortunate souls perish, followed by 23 more on the subsequent day, which happens to be today. And interestingly enough, among the victims just now, were the notorious criminals i talked about, James "The Razor" Reynolds and Isabel "Black Widow" Thompson.
Sherlock Holmes paused for a moment, his mind working through the details and connections.
Sherlock Holmes: It appears that this organization, or individual, is driven by a vigilante-like motivation. Their actions suggest a skewed sense of justice, perhaps rooted in a simplistic understanding of right and wrong. It is as if they are playing the role of judge and executioner, targeting criminals whom they believe deserve punishment.
Dr. Watson listened attentively, aware of Holmes' ability to unravel complex motivations and patterns.
Dr. Watson: So, you believe this perpetrator is acting as a self-proclaimed arbiter of justice, taking it upon themselves to mete out punishment to those they deem guilty?
Sherlock Holmes: Precisely, Watson. Their method of using cardiac arrests as a means of execution is both calculated and symbolic. It serves as a statement, a message to the criminal underworld that their reign of terror will not go unpunished.
Dr. Watson: But who could possess such power and resources to orchestrate these targeted attacks? And why now?
Sherlock Holmes absorbed by information, his mind racing to discern the significance of those death numbers.
Sherlock Holmes: What can you tell me about the interval between these deaths? Is there a discernible pattern?
Inspector Lestrade: The interval between each death is staggeringly short, Holmes. Merely a matter of seconds, ranging from 10 to 40 seconds between each fatal occurrence.
Sherlock Holmes: It is a grave mistake to make assumptions based on incomplete information, but alas, the pursuit of truth often demands that we act with limited knowledge. Very well, Inspector Lestrade, I shall take up this case and devote my faculties to unraveling its intricate web of secrets. However, I implore you to provide me with every detail at your disposal. I need a comprehensive understanding of these victims, their criminal pasts, and any connections they may have had with each other. Furthermore, I request access to any pertinent evidence and witness testimonies that could shed light on the enigma we face. And gather information too on whether these criminals were indeed exposed to the public eye, whether through media coverage, court proceedings, or any other means. It is of utmost importance to ascertain whether their identities were widely known, for it could provide valuable insight into the workings of our elusive perpetrator.
Inspector Lestrade, taking note of Holmes' request, nodded in agreement and made a mental note to collect the necessary information.
Inspector Lestrade: I shall task my team with delving into the public records and media archives to determine the extent of exposure these individuals had. If they were indeed widely recognized, it may serve as a clue to the motivation behind these killings.
Sherlock Holmes: Excellent, Inspector. Furthermore, I urge you to search our archives for any past cases involving similar patterns of strange and unexplained deaths. We must ascertain if there are any precedents or recurring themes that may shed light on our current investigation.
Inspector Lestrade hastily made his way out of the room, leaving Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to observe the flurry of activity around them. As they stood there, Sherlock couldn't resist making a witty remark.
Sherlock Holmes: Ah, Watson, the chaos that ensues when mysteries unfold! It's quite reminiscent of a circus, wouldn't you agree?
Dr. Watson chuckled at Sherlock's comment, appreciating his ability to find amusement even in the most perplexing situations. But then, Watson raised a question that had been lingering in his mind.
Dr. Watson: Sherlock, do you think there's a possibility that the supernatural is at play here? Could there be forces beyond our comprehension guiding these events?
Sherlock Holmes, drawing from his vast repertoire of cases and experiences, responded with his usual skepticism, grounded in logic and reason.
Sherlock Holmes: Watson, my dear friend, I have encountered numerous cases in my career where the appearance of the supernatural was nothing more than a cleverly crafted illusion or a product of human ingenuity. From the Hound of the Baskervilles to the Speckled Band, I have unraveled the mysteries behind these seemingly otherworldly occurrences. In every instance, there was a rational explanation, grounded in the realm of the natural.
Dr. Watson observed the discourse between Holmes and him. Their mind brimming with anticipation as they prepared to embark on an arduous journey through the murky realms of enigma. With unwavering trust in their partnership and unwavering belief in Holmes' singular brilliance, he stood ready to lend his unwavering support in the quest for truth.
silence...................
.....then
Sherlock Holmes: Well... let us proceed under the assumption that our adversaries are human, driven by a peculiar notion of right and wrong, perhaps in their youthful and erratic pursuit of justice. If they are indeed vigilantes, they may be prone to leaving behind traces of their actions.
Now, let us consider the second option, the wrath of a god upon this wretched world. If such a supernatural force were at play, I fear our endeavors may be in vain. After all, how can mortal minds comprehend the whims and motives of an entity beyond our realm? In the face of such power, our deductions and investigations may prove futile.
And yet, even as the end looms before us, Watson, let us not forget to savor the present moment. Before the world succumbs to its inevitable demise, I propose we indulge in one of my favorite hobbies, the art of playing the violin. There's nothing quite like the soothing melodies to accompany us in these uncertain times.
With a smile and a touch of irony, Sherlock Holmes set aside the weight of their impending doom and reached for his beloved instrument, ready to play a haunting tune that echoed the enigma of their situation. As the final notes lingered in the air, the scene came to a close, leaving behind an air of melancholic anticipation for the unknown that lay ahead.
Wow.
AI has come far, aye.
Oh my God , THE script.
The only chance Light has is to get Sherlock before Sherlock knows the name and face requirements. Sherlock has enough talent and influence to wipe himself off any public database as long as he knows a name and face are required. If he doesn’t learn that until after meeting Light and saying his name, that’s a solid GG in Light’s favor
the issue there is sherlock is famous. light would know of his existence and the anime would change to that too. before L challenged light, light didnt know he existed. sherlock doesnt have the element of surprise here and his win condition makes it so he cant win. he either works with the police and light notices somethings off or he follows light without the cops first ryuk tells him and shit hits the fan for sherlock there.
@@offline2807 light will all ways win unless Sh is just starting
@@tfordham13 if shits just starting its even easier for light as it becomes near impossible to account for the deathnote unless sherlock already has experience with it. sherlock cant work with the cops as he gets filed in even if with an alias hes the odd man out and sticks our like a sore thumb. if not he can never get the evidence needed to convict light legally making it not able to be used in court
@@offline2807 Sherlock is only famous IRL. In the fictional world, it would depend on which stage of his career he's on and whether or not he's featured in the news or the media (sometimes the police don't want to embarrass themselves, and Sherlock doesn't chase fame, so the credit for solving his cases may go to Gregson or Lestrade). Even then, his fame would be confined to the United Kingdom, and to even start researching into that, Light would need to know that Sherlock is on his case, which he wouldn't, since unlike L, Sherlock would not announce it publicly and would work with the Japanese police under a fake name.
@@Lernos1 1 the dude even says in the video light is aware of sherlocks existence
2 since this is the case light is knowledgeable on sherlocks cases. Meaning he knows this is the kind of case sherlock would take.
3 as i have said before in other responses even with an alias he would be the odd one out on the task force or working with the task force seeing as he isnt L and doesnt seem to have global backing or the ability to just hide his name behind something like the title of "L" so to work with the cops he ends up in the system
4 If sherlock doesnt work with the police he cant win anyways. there would be no way to legally get the proof required for a conviction.
sherlock holmes would pull up to light’s house, sniff his pillow, feel his tv screen, taste his chips, and immediately know everything light has done since the fourth grade
Real
An absolute masterpiece, sad this isn't more popular
In deadpool killustrated, Sherlock Holmes saves all marvel characters by remembering all tales within literature from Beaowulf (butchered name) to Tom Sawyer and Moby Dick. The mans mental capacity to remember stuff even in alternate sources (let alone in the actual Sherlock cannon) is insane
About Time! Welcome Back!
Good to be back man
1 reply I just gotta reply
Light is smart but he’s way too emotional and tends to get sloppy from time to time. He literally exposed his location in the second episode because he got pissed off and tried to kill L for no reason.
It’s hard for humans to solve super nature case, especially when it deals with memory erase and killing someone without having to be there will be really hard.
Sherklock Holmes has assended to be the pinical of detective work in fiction, so light doesnt really stand a chance.
A lot of people dont know is that Sherlock works in the shadows (he gives all the credit to Lestrade)
If anything, Light would just probably just end up killing Lestrade.
Sherlock is waaaaay beyond L.
This only holds true if Light fights how he fights L. Light only let out clues so he could get close to L, if Sherlock doesn't challenge him, Light wouldn't let out a lot of these clues
this is technically wrong.
Light have a lot of telltale sign.
the worst is being Light himself is a telltale sign .
8:55 Eeeeeh, sort of. Unless called out for being the monster he is, Light tends to keep calm and think carefully about the pros and cons of nearly every action. For example, he knew if he just killed Raye Penber he would be fucked, because he was only one of 12 Private Eyes sent to various suspects. He knew he had to kill 12 birds with one stone, hence the elaborate scheme to trick him into writing the names of his compatriots into the Death Note after the other elaborate scheme to get his name.
As soon as Sherlock Holmes even sees Light, he's already gonna know his background or something and immediately know if anything is off. He just always kinda does that I don't even know how, but he's definitely pulling that kind of bullshit, I already know.
Idk maybe Sherlock would instantly take the false bottom up and the notebook burns up like the trap works, I mean that was the point of why light made that trap in the first place
Holmes would demolish Light in every way. Yes I've read the books and no I'm not being biased. I love Death Note and Holmes equally but Light makes too many mistakes that L missed that Holmes would not let slide. Simple.
Wow this is a well scripted video keep it up and the background sound is just fire
Sherlock would crush it like he usually does
Man at this point these characters are just like superman, I like the dynamic between L and Light cause they seem at lest possible in the real world, at this point it’s like Sherlock is a superhero more fictional than real.
Holmes is given detective plot armor where he makes discoveries without a justifiable amount of evidence or proof to inspire it. He just knows shit.
Of course he’d win
And yet he is still the most well written detective way better than this eastern anime pedo shit.
i think the mayor he is kira is when and a plot hole and logic hole is when
light recovers his memories on the helicopter he uses a watch with a hiddent compartment and he say something like "old habits" or something like that mean that he always wore that clock
now that will be visible through the security system on the building where Aizawa took his pants off and he leaves all the metal stuff on a tray that goes through a Xray machine
now light and everyone i guess they have to use that
watari must seen a suspicious piece of paper and needle inside a watch
you can see that system on the episode 18th also watari said "they have to get use to our security"
Amazing content. I love your vids bro
Thank you
thank you for making a youtube vid about this. i loved the tiktoks
oh i thought this was light vs lelouch
this guy has the best voice in the powerscaling community
I need a voice like this
Any chance you'll be able to look into if the doctor, in any of his incarnations , would be able to solve the kira case?
Are you sure you're not confusing the list of things Holmes has NO knowledge of (because they're not related to criminology and he believes his brain won't have room for everything) with a list of things he has knowledge in? Even in the modern series when he knew a star in a painting was in the wrong place, the joke was that he'd just gained that information and had to admit it was useful.
I only had one issue with the video. It isn't some giant issue it's more similar to a nitpick. I don't believe that sherlock would be able to read ryuk easily due to the intelligence feats the death God has provided such as out smarting the king of the shinigami(can't remember if that's what the guy is called. ) otherwise it was a great video.
the problem with this is you are falling to a bad logic. (IDk what it is exactly called but let's say it is called Outsmarting Bias.)
The bias is something like
A outsmart B outsmart C therefore A smarter than both . When in reality A B and C have probably the same level of intelligence.
i see your sherlock holmes vs kira and i raise you a herlock sholmes vs kira
Yo this was aMAZing!😁
Could Mystery Inc solve the Kira case? I’d say Light has a higher chance of winning than Mystery Inc, but it could go either way
So wait, I'm confused... Are you saying that Sherlock would only stand a chance if he had all of L's work already? Like if L was replaced be Sherlock, how would he ever get information about Misa?
Actually, L did indeed notice the fact that light was a student, then used it to determine that he had control over the time in which he could kill. Minor error on your part, but understandable.
I can’t believe books is all that needed to show these feats from Batman and Sherlock I’m not trying to say there better than light and L but there feats are crazy
Ay bro how do you find your information on fictional characters like Xeno Goku how do you find all his powers feats And stuff like that
Love you videos keep them up
Personally I would love to see a video on basil of Baker Street solving the kira case
Death Note is one of the top 5 manga of all time and probably the #1 anime of all time.
This is a cool video, but just some advice moving into the future, you should’ve given more public credit to SethTheProgrammer since it’s obvious this video was massively inspired by him, especially if you’re going to rip direct quotes from his video for your own.
Initial Comment
Why is this a question? Sure he can. The only question is how fast he can solve it.
Sherlock is that one guy who can at almost 90% guess can guess where you came from just because you are chewing a gum.
Especially Light who have a lot of telltale sign.
But I still watch the video to see if there is something else.
If sherlock holmes is so famous, Kira could win so easily, that case would be even impossible to Holmes if him name is so famous, but if is the case were Kira don't know him and Sherlock hides so well (I know he's a master to deception by using suits) he have a oportunity.
William Sherlock Scott Holmes
They had no pictures then though right?
I haven't read too many of the books but one common thread in what I have read is that the newspapers tend to downplay his importance and give more credit to Scotland Yard. While Light may be smart enough to figure out that Sherlock is a threat based on him being repeatedly mentioned alongside such cases, I doubt there would be any pictures.
technically the deciding factor.
Heavily underrated
I don’t know much about Sherlock, but there are a few things I doubt in this video. First, MAYBE the door handle being lowered by a millimeter. He would have to notice it was lowered, notice it’s different from the other door handles and decide whether or not it’s a real clue or just an oddity with the door. Second, maybe he’ll notice the fake bottom on the drawer, but he wouldn’t know it was booby trapped. Third, he wouldn’t notice the pen in the cup. There’s nothing special about it, it’s not out of place and it’s completely natural in placement and belonging.
I don’t doubt he could solve the case, but these are out of the question.
And I guess fourth, there’s no chance of him knowing the rules were fake by just looking at it. He’s able to figure out the picture because there’s something to compare it to. It’s not even comparable to figuring out if a rule was fake.
Please make a video on can l solve the Afton family case of five nights and Freddy
Not sure about Holmes but Hercule Poiroit sure as fuck could
when you run out of ideas for a video
Someone named Avent on RUclips uploaded a video about how Lelouch (Code Geass) would fare against Light in L' s place. I believe they've plagiarized your writing in this video if you haven't given permission to reuse your words.
And this doesn't even include Sherlock Holmes interpretation in FGO
The guy went from London singularity 4 to Camalot singlarity 6 how did he do that?
He's with us throughout the entirety of part 1.5 and up to lostbelt 6.5 Tarum
Could Light be beaten by Arsene Lupin though?
I don't know if Sherlock could tell that Light is lying... Sherlock's whole success is based on this one interaction. It would have been more interesting to not just assume that, and force Sherlock to go through more of the story. I think Sherlock would succeed in the end, but I don't think it would be before Light's whole 'Yotsuba' plan was completed.
Light is not actually an impressive lier. He is above average in that segment but that’s it. Most of his lies can be segment into three main points lack of evidence ,pretending to be innocent and manipulation .Where he trives is manipulation which wont work on Sherlock . As Sherlock always knows someone is killer just by talking with them. Light can’t manipulate him which is his main advantage as all other evidence directly points that he is the only possible kira. Also Light is severely overconfident and i believe that again would be his downfall like against Near.
Sherlock would take one look at light and most likely know right away... sherlock is bullshit op lol... I was hoping you were going to bring up the painting scene with the star..
Columbo plz
Literally super advance observation haki lol
Kira is nothing like a god. Hes just a mass murderer. Hes not omniscient, omnipresent or omnipotent. He doesnt control the forces of nature. He just has a convenient killing weapon.
We called Death Note
I hate that you used moffat sherlock.
I think that non-moffat sherlock would totally have an easier time than L, but still, moffat sherlock is bad.
Dude is smart but works alot different. He would notice certain things and changes in outfits and stuff. Maybe connect reasons to why a characters is acting differently at certain times but i dont think he would find out as Light Yagami just like that as he is a very chaotic on purpose in the different ways he would act as a manipulator not like a regular genius to just take the best path he takes the path best fitting for the situation to stay unpredictable so another genius cant just take the best propability of winning and be like "Now i know what he will do" and win. Light does not just take the best course of action in general he stays unpredictable to people who can deduct the best move to predict the next move of a genius wich light woudnt take as he takes the best move considering the individual he battles. Not just the best move. (meaning he woudnt just 10:28 without hiding the implications of it one way or another adn even that he woudnt just hide by just covering it up he would make it seem like Kira did not cause it and woudnt show his slight changes in demeanor as he hid his reaction completely to L saying he is L despite it coming out of nowhere) Sherlock and light are both detective geniuses and planners yet where sherlock is very attentive seeing everything and has a amazing level of attention pointing out details no one thinks of light is more of a psychological and planning manipulator who is genius at reading people. he may make mistakes on purpose in a way that is not just not easily expected but also unique to stay unpredictable. He also doesnt just predict a action he predicts many steps ahead to what could happen. Its not gonna go he realizes light made a mistake on purpose CATCHED. Dont let iconic favoritism or old favoritism could the mind. Batman vs sherlock would make literal toxic battles bc of favoritism just because both are incredibly iconic and one has DC fans wich are the same as marvel fans wich are like dragonball fans and u dont wanna be like that. Light really just like sherlock was smart enough to do their feats not just having luck taking over the world like most villains in most series while sherlock was on his own. Light was not a regular genius filled with luck like a cartoon genius he is a mere student and beat every single detective only to battle the best detective and a entire police force in the world of that anime and defeated L a detective that stopped a world war 3 when he was a kid and more is on par with the feats given to sherlock with deducting if a painting is real or not. L was just a kid with no social help or luck and truly had to use his intellect wich is basically impossible to stop a worldwar. He already knew Light was Kira and yet wanted to proof it with evidence undeniable. Its not a low chance at all. U might think i have favoritism and i do but i dont let it cloud anything i let it make me annoyed when someone shits on a show and nothing more honestly i dont mind at all if sherlock is better. Im defending Light because people just tend to underestimate him thinking we are underestimating sherlock because of his ridiculous thinking without realizing death note is known for the same even made fun of because of the ridiculous unrealistic intellect its characters hold. Even more Sherlock would win as Light sometimes gets reckless as seen with the death of Lind Tailor the fake L. (i edited it a few times this is it finished. I did not want to seem cheating if someon responds and i already reacted to it only to have a claim that i edited it in)
discombobulate; discombobulate; discombobulate; discombobulate; [...]
is this a composite holmes? that's a bit unfair innit?
lol, light yagami will eliminate sherlock in the beginning, since he is the "most" popular detective,
Yo that was awesome.
This is brilliant, love it
Could young Sheldon solve the Kira case?
Sherlock's issue is if Kira learned he was being hunted by Sherlock Holmes it would be much easier to kill him with the notebook, I doubt it would be nearly as difficult for Kira to dig up Sherlock's full name and jot him down compared to Bats and L.
Thing is, Sherlock wouldn't reveal himself to challenge light like L did. He'd understand the exposure
But if Sherlock Holmes is this big famous detective, light would just look him up and kill him as soon as he found out he was being investigated by some famous detective from London since there isn't many of them. He might just blackmail the politicians like he did to get the FBI to back down in the anime.
@@ΑΡΙΣΤΟΤΕΛΗΣΛΑΧΑΝΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ L revealed himself to show that he had tricked Kira and to prove, in public, that Kira can't kill anybody. Sherlock would also need to find in which city Kira is so he would reveal himself. perhaps not his real name but Sherlock doesn't hide himself as much as L (who nobody knows his real name or has seen his picture)
@@WilliamWizer Sherlock would probably deduce Kira kills just using names, so he wouldn't openly reveal he's investigating him.
He would have to confirm his region yes, but he'd likely find a less direct way to do so.
@@user-mx4is4fx3c how would he deduce its based on names? It could be photos
I think most other fictional geniuses could probably beat Light, because the whole point of "Death Note" is that despite being geniuses, Light and L are ultimately a couple of immature, borderline-insane manchildren who are, deep down, more concerned about playing a game with each other than actually accomplishing either of their goals. Light didn't have to kill Lind L. Tailor, he could have easily ignored the taunting and never revealed his location. Similarly, L didn't have to bait and provoke Kira after Tailor was killed, he could have said nothing more, cut the broadcast, and simply shared his findings with the police. That first scene is brilliant for many reasons, but one of which is that it simultaneously shows off Light and L's shared flaw that got them both killed: Their pride.
Light especially constantly lets his anger and ego get the best of him, and there are several points in the story where he could have easily won if he had just calmed the hell down, realistically looked at his limitations, and thought about it longer. It's story about hubris, about a young man who was told his whole life that he was special and destined for great things and how this coddling ultimately ruined him the second he got a small taste of real power.
The larger issue that Death Note has in writing its geniuses is that it writes out their thought processes while most fiction writers just say "they innately know something they really shouldn't because they're just so smart." L is written with a level of genius where he has realistic human limitations on what he can reason out. If someone was shot in an alleyway he couldn't sniff the air and say, "The victim was shot with this model of gun, at precisely this time, fired from this height," etc. because that sort of writing is asinine but it's unfortunately how a lot of writers do things.
While L didn't need to reveal that he fooled Kira with the Lind L Taylor scheme, it actually was the better move in the long run. Since Kira was also hunting down L, trying to find his name and face, it led to many of Light's further mistakes. Light's use of police records was done specifically as a means of him taking an offensive strategy against L and that's what caused him to be tracked by Raye Pember which would ultimately cause a ton of trouble for him down the road. But none of that happens if L doesn't tell Light, "I fooled you and I'm hunting you down." Light would have simply continued regular Kira killings.
Remember that by the broadcast plan, all it really proved was that Kira existed, could kill from a remote distance with minimal information, and was in Kanto at the time of the broadcast, not any particular information about his personal life, or how his power worked.
The same goes for the suicide notes that led to the theory that Kira has some influence over a person's actions prior to their death. He wouldn't have given L that if he wasn't trying to taunt him, he would have done his experimentation in a more subtle way.
Light's response to being taunted by L is what led to him making decisions that were rational for Light (his goal being to take out L ASAP rather than simply avoid being caught) but since he was being more offensive he also gave more information than he would via his normal Kira activity.
Even if you did the same broadcast plan, unless you got more information shortly after it, you can't be definitively certain that Kira didn't simply leave Kanto shortly after it happened. You could "assume" that to be the case but you can never be certain. And you certainly can't narrow it down to someone who has access to police records.
@Zetact_ ya, that's the problem with other detectives, their senses, reasoning ability, and knowledge are inherently inhuman. Some detectives have senses like a bloodhound like you stated, or have the intelligence of a God like batman who is 'supposedly ' an ordinary man. When you right out the actual thought process of the detective, you actually have to have a way for them to deduce information. That is why L and Light's battle of wits was unique, they're both human but the author explained how both of them thought out each situation. Not randomly discovering things like other detective stories
L opinion
very good comment, good job
"You could "assume" that to be the case but you can never be certain." Well yes, but it's the most reasonable working theory, otherwise you'd have nothing to go on. And nothing came up to disprove the theory. I think L could reasonably have gleaned even more information remotely by controlling the police records and areas to which the police records were sent, engineering fake blackouts, and varying high school student curfew times (which would be a way of confirming/eliminating the high school hypothesis). L shouldn't have revealed himself on the broadcast -- given a week of regular Kira killings you could reasonably narrow it down to one or two neighbourhoods in the Kanto region, and if you had extra investigations on the side eg. through tracking internet traffic that would be enough information to narrow it down to a small pool of suspects. And of course Light being the police chief's son would make him stand out.
Not the biggest Holmes fan, so when I saw the title I thought, "It would depend on what he knows about supernatural events." Sure enough, he's dealt with ghosts. Then it was a slam dunk in my opinion. Light's problems dealing with detectives in general is their vast experience compared to his, he has to reason his way through everything, since the entire situation is new to him. An old hand like Batman or Holmes would make short work of him. L had three major stumbling blocks: 1) no idea about the supernatural, 2) desire to form a friendship, and 3) his idiosyncratic ideas about winning. Near could win because L's investigation took care of (1) and he had no care at all for (2). (3) still hung him up, as the competition with Mello. But I digress. Holmes really had none of these three flaws and would likely solve it straightforwardly. Great video.
True
Big thing I want to respond to
L didn't want to form a friendship with anyone, and often thought little of those around him.
He called Light a friend as a manipulation tactic, in reality he hated Light's guts
I have a problem with a couple of these.
1. L didn't care on making friends with Light, that was just to mess with him.
2. Near had to start from scratch when approaching the Kira case. All he knew was that Kira killed L, that was it. This can be explained easily by the fact Watari deleted all of the files, and the Near was unaware of the scene between Light, Misa, and Light's father pretending to shoot his son.
3. I believe Sherlock is indeed a better detective, but L's knowledge is more expansive than Sherlock's, given that Sherlock refuses to learn things that he deems unimportant, even politics. L has high expertise in the economy, stocks, politics, etc. He's like a mixture of Sherlock and Mycroft.
But otherwise, I agree with you.
L never desires to form a friendship with anyone, especially not Light
@@katz7609 On point three he explains his reasoning for being selective with what he knows. He does so as not to muddle his thought process and having unnecessary information to cloud his own judgement. He does recall all the information he has learned throughout the series. Even in the SH games he keeps a vast archive in his apartment.
Sherlock: These murders are seemingly random, one criminal there the other criminal over there, the only two things these all have in common is they are all criminals being murdered and they are all publicly known figures. At least they were at the start, and recently even criminals unknown to public have been executed. I conclude that our murderer, dear Watson, first started doing this... business... by observing the names of his victims on the news, but then somehow got access to police files.
"That seems logical.", I replied to my friend but I knew there was more to his reasoning he was not revealing.
Sherlock: I was never a believer in the supernatural, dear Watson. Yet I can not explain this Kira fellow's power that stretches over vast distances. If we are dealing with the supernatural, then it would not be out of the question that this man, or a woman, would gain some sort of mystic knowledge. Yet it seems his knowledge is limited. I went through it with Interpol, and most of his recent victims were from the police files one would get locally in Japan. So it is quite obviously a person living in Japan, with connections to Japanese police, who started dispending his strange version of justice.
"That narrows it down a lot, Sherlock!", I shouted.
Sherlock: It does, doesn't it? I do hear footsteps and these should be our friends from Japanese police force coming to discuss our case.
Ten men entered the room, and among them one particularly stood out, a handsome young man, much younger than the rest, with eyes as sharp as my friend's.
Sherlock: I am glad that you all agreed to meet me here, in this international effort. I must say, I am without a clue and do not know how to stop Kira.
They had a long talk, and the young man was revealed to be the son of the police chief in Japan. He was sort of an intellectual prodigy back home and was helping his father solve the case. His name being even more unusual than Sherlock's, as he is called Light. After the talk between these gentlemen was over, Holmes went and shook each man's hand. But when he reached for Light's hand, he put on the handcuffs on both of Light's hands with lightning quickness.
"What is the meaning of this?!", almost everyone shouted at the same time at my friend.
Sherlock: The meaning is... this is your Kira.
He leaned on the desk and took out his pipe, which he quickly lighted. After he inhaled one smoke and exhaled it, he pointed his pipe at Light.
Sherlock: Do you want to explain to everyone why you did what you did? And how you did it? Because not even I know that.
Light: This is preposterous!
Sherlock: Then allow me, in the inner lining pocket of his jacket you will find a small book most likely containing the names of all of his victims. I have noticed a small bulge on his jacket that should fit the size of a medium notebook we are searching for. I have also noticed the blisters on this young man's hand that would come from someone spending a lot of time, lets say writing names in a notebook.
The police officers indeed searched Light, and took out a small black notebook. As they went through it, they indeed found the names of all of Light's victims.
Light: This is ridiculous! You believe I am the Kira just because of some notebook? I was helping to solve the case so of course I would keep notes there...
Sherlock: You might wonder how I came to these conclusions? Well, it took a lot of deaths before I did. We kept feeding different files to different police departments. Some had pictures of criminals and some had names. I soon realized you would need both the picture and the name of the person for your mysterious powers to work. By sending different types of files to different parts of Japan I was soon able to locate you right to the exact police station. Then I realized one other thing. Sometimes murders would happen one after another with a slight delay. Why the delay I wondered? What was it that you had to do for the murders to happen? If you could kill people using your thoughts then there would be no delay. The delay would be only the time for you to read the name. Was it some chanting you had to do, magical words? Then I did another test, I sent some poor victims with long names, some with short names. Interestingly enough, those with short names had a shorter delay.
"He was writing their names in the book!", I shouted.
Sherlock: Well, yes, I was coming to that. But it could have been that the boy was speaking the names. However I solved that by sending some same sounding names with slightly different spelling. I deducted he was writing the names. I compared the speeds and times it would take for someone to write the names I was sending with the delay between the murders and I knew someone was using a certain type of pen and paper for the delay to be just right. Well, here we are now. That book has supernatural powers and to test it we won't kill a human but the member of the canine species. I will be the one to write the poor dog's name in the book and I do know the dog's face. He is an old dog, and his time is about right to go.
Light: You can't! You won't get away with this! I am the God of this world!
Sherlock: Not when your writing hands are tied, obviously. My name is Holmes by the way. Sherlock Holmes.
Only thing missing is lestrade and gregson taking credit. Mycroft having a talk with the Japanese delegation about the fallout of Kira and Sherlock with a medal the next day.
Misa Amane being arrested. New laws making the agencies all over the globe start to search for other notebooks of that nature. Perhaps Moriarty trying to get a hold of them or sell fakes

🤝
Yea same I am reading the books currently but I can pay no attention so know I gotta re read the only cases I've have read. There are 2 movies Netflix if you didn't know.
Start by the books bro
I listened to the original Sherlock Holms books (because audiobooks), so I know for a fact that Sherlock would consider it a win if he killed Light (or if Light killed himself), so long as he had sufficient evidence to know Light was guilty. He would PREFER to have Light tried and convicted in a court of law, but Sherlock is more than willing to get his hands dirty if necessary. Just ask Professor Moriarty
Or the Adventure of the Speckled Band
Resulted in an accidental suicide, but Holmes still counted it as a win.
You need to read Sherlock Holmes a study in scarlet. In the book, Sherlock Holmes already knows who the murderer is in the case. He knew before anyone else did, much like the guy you’re talking ab, Sherlock didn’t catch him bc he was trying to have fun. He then said he did know who the guy was because lastrade, Gregson and Watson told him to say who the murderer is, or more people will die. The entire book, ever since Sherlock got on the case, he knew who the murderer was. He knew the murderer was,(spoiler alert, in case anyone wants to read the book for themselves.) it was the taxi driver. He was just having fun with the case, but he also just needed the evidence, which he got in the end of the story.
L also knew tho
@@tshegomokobodi7507 yes but my argument was that L wasn’t much smarter like the guy in the video said. He said L was smarter bc he knew the entire time. Sherlock did the same thing tho in Study in Scarlet.
@@swagmasterr6862 yeah I kinda stopped caring when I saw the thing about Sherlock deducing a password by thinking about it since that's just magic and nothing else
@@tshegomokobodi7507 I suppose, but in the world we just have to believe that he is just that intelligent
@@tshegomokobodi7507 The writers in that show particularly don't know how to write smart characters. It's hard for dumb people to write smart characters, so they kind of just give him magic intuition.
I think there was a case where a man was lying dead in a field with the back of his head bashed. He instantly said, "Oh yeah. He was just throwing a boomerang and it hit him in the back of the head." Even when they hadn't found a boomerang yet.
There is *no* way to deduce that, but the writers just say "Because he's smart tho."
I knew Sherlock would win I just wanted to see weather it would take longer than a plank second to solve the case
He can solve the cases with precision down to the nearest Planke Length every Attosecond.
The fact no one knows Sherlock's real name beside his family and watson makes him already invincible
The Death Note doesn't require the fullest version of someone's name to take effect. Light killed Lind L. Tailor by writing his name as such, without having to know his middle name.

With sensible players, Light actually might have a chance.
With average players, however, Light could do everything right and still get ejected due to a half-baked accusation of “being sus.”
They would be accusing random people that werent doing tasks, eventually catching onto light, light would need a way to kill the amogus guy, having to see their real face, of course, light, being a student, he can do tasks and if possible, accuse the amogus guy back in case he is the next target. First of all, he needs people so light cant be "ejected". Then seem less suspicious, and he will have a chance at winning
needa see scooby and the gang solve the kira case
💀
Unironically they can they found the mystery to what was going on in the middle of no where in the courage the cowardly dog series
Good video. I do feel a bit weird about you constantly repeating that Sherlock can tell a person’s whole life by just looking at them. That gives the impression that he’s magic. Both Conan Doyle, and Sherlock himself in the novels, constantly say that what Sherlock uses is simple observation and that was my favorite part of reading his methods - understanding what he noticed and how I, as the reader, could have come to the same conclusion (with the example of knowing how tall someone is based on how high up they write on a wall is, being one of my fav examples)
The way he does it in the novels is kind of magic tho...
Like it is inpossible to get that much information of someone in such a little ammount of time as easily as he does it.
@@anyoneatall3488 conan doyle makes it seem real though atleast to me. he points out small but KEY details that sherlock usually sees.
Agreed!
@@yuni3124 even a kids TV show did but than them
@@tfordham13 respond to me once you actually make sense
worth noting, the star feat at 14:44 also comes with the context that they were just at the observatory on that episode, the specific event/star being spoken on a loop as they fought Golem, and as such, that knowledge was quite recent for him to access. (it could be also inferred that Moriarty knew this, and that's why he gave Sherlock the puzzle to solve, as Moriarty wants to play with Sherlock and test his limits, he'd have joy in knowing Sherlock failed despite having the tools.)
also, one more note: if I recall correctly, L had to resort to a direct approach almost instantly after distrust at the NPA ensued. but perhaps due to Sherlock taking a more passive approach and analyzing all the detectives one by one, it might take more time for him to meet light then otherwise. if so, there's a chance Misa actually comes into play before Sherlock can either meet light or acquire his death note. If you're using BBC's Sherlock, then it'd be game over for him, as Misa will most surely know about the smartest detective alive, and his face is in every news paper. (but you did use a weird composite of every version of Sherlock, which I kinda understand, but it's kinda unfair. BBC's Sherlock has a near OP mind palace...tho worth noting it has failed him in the past, and he also would refuse to believe in Shinnigami's until it's absolutely irrefutable, and even then he'd likely be as caught off-guard and as shocked as L did)
and about the last two details you mentioned for how 'Light had given himself away early one', those can actually be explained.(I'll reply to this comment with the explanations).
First off- yes, even if they don't reveal light to be Kira, these moments could very well have served signaled to L that Light very well could be Kira from the start, but I slightly doubt it. he likely was still close to certain early on, but not for these two instances of "light slipping up" as you mention.
1. at that moment, Light is playing the cordial student. I think it's fair to say (based on my little understanding) that Japanese social culture has a bigger emphasis on being respectful/cordial to others, even more so to stranger, and even more so to others of higher authority/rank.(L being the best detective in the world, definitely "out ranking" Light). I believe their entire first interactions are based around this in mind for Light embodying the 'perfect cordial student' act (explaining why he doesn't aggressively question L's deduction leading to light as a suspect, as it could be disrespectful to L's skills and experience. And why he doesn't ask him if he's really L, as it could be seen as Light calling him a liar). Now to the letters: from an innocent perspective, Light assumes L has given him all the information he needed, he wouldn't think L would forget another one and instead assume the other letters either don't exist or aren't important. still- it's enough to be suspicious, just not enough to be indefensible.
2. As for Ray Pember, go back to that exchange again- from an innocent but smart student perspective, all Light did was connect the dots and fill in what L was about to say. He knows he is being suspected, and L brings up the detectives that all died investigating people tied to the NPA, he then specifically mentions Ray to Light, which then allows "innocent but sharp Light" to understand that Ray must have been the one fallowing Light, as it isn't that hard of a connection to make based on L having so much focus on light and L bringing up this one detective. L would have to expect Light to be capable of such deduction, as Light has already proven himself to be quite smart, and wouldn't see any other reason why L would specifically point out one of the detectives by name.
(I will say for that 2nd one, I'd be curious to go to the manga and Japanese phrasing of that conversation. because the anime dub does make it harder to tell for certain if L laid the dots and Light just connected them, or if Light really talked as if he knew who Ray was before L mentioned his name, but I believe it makes sense when viewed in this way, Light just filled in L's thoughts, as it perfectly explains why L didn't make any remark on it, not even an internal one.)

The only thing you said in this entire video that I disagree with is "L is a better detective than Sherlock."
Everything else was spot on.
bro this was a great watch. One of the best videos ever
I appreciate it my boy
7:54 no, that is wrong and a clue that lead to L thinking it was Light. Light killed people that weren't even broadcasted and that lead to L thinking that the killer had either a family member that worked with the police or was working there himself.
I am happy you mentioned Sherlock Holmes ability to comprehend and understand the supernatural. Because some versions or people get it where because he based on deduction and logic any other worldly exception would throw him off or he wouldn't expect that truth. Clearly isn't true if you remove all impossible whatever is left no matter how improbable is the truth
I don't think that L is a better Detective than Sherlock Holmes by any stretch of the imagination. The very best tactic a Detective can use is to go undetected by their quarry. And the first thing L did was make himself known to Light. Which was just foolish.
I definitely agree having L show his face and directly stating to light that he was L was extremely dumb in any aspect of law enforcement or criminal investigation
I know why he did it and the creator of the video also explains why he did it too as it stems from his immaturity and also wanting to provoke a reaction from his suspected quarry
I think that decision was more of a Plot Induced Stupidity.
L making himself known to light also helped with the case and it was also used to provoke and get a reaction from Light. Go and check how Light analysed every possible outcome when he got home after L revealed himself to him. Light still doubt it was even the real L, and said that he might have used a body double and other stuff as well.
However that doesn't even justify your point of saying Sherlock is smarter than L. Sherlock never faced any supernatural case like the Kira case and Sherlock failed to solve some cases in his carrier too which were not even close to the Kira case. L never failed to solve any and would've solved the Kira case if not because REM stopped him, REM died because she prevented Misa's death, which means in the future L would've caught Light and Misa and sentenced them to death if REM didn't interfere.
L narrowed down a mass murderer out of 7 billion(entire world) people to one person, without anything to work with (remember how other detectives said they couldn't handle the case where people around the world are dying of heart attack since there was nothing to work with, before they decided to call on L).
@@LhordShepherd In the video it was even stated that Sherlock solved supernatural cases before. Did you even watch it?
I have no doubt Sherlock could win since death note despite being about a supernatural force, is actually a lot more grounded than Sherlock Holmes. Though I feel like you really should’ve given Light more credit, I think it would’ve taken Sherlock a good while longer to catch Kira. The main thing I think you overlooked is Ryuk, Light would’ve absolutely used him against Sherlock.
Ryuk is a (mostly) neutral observer. Light was rarely able to get his help, and when Light lost to Near, Ryuk killed him.

Light wouldn't just kill Sherlock Holmes if Holmes isn't on Light's radar. Holmes is a consultant. People come to him for advice. So people will be working on the frontline for Holmes. In fact, Holmes would use a persona like L did. Distracting him from Sherlock Holmes to (Alternate Personality).
Either way, Sherlock Holmes is far smarter than Light. I read all the original stories and watched Death Note over 20 times. Huge fan of both. But it's not even close.

I can guarantee you that Sherlock is way, way above Light intellectually.
Sherlock would dismantle Light's facade very easily...
@@Fran-tf6rz nope you're ignorant
If Sherlock finds the hidden Death Note, then he wouldn't need to deduce anything anymore. He would be the holder of the death note, and would have the information. Also, Light would forget about the Death Note at this point, and he would likely not have the same safeguards he had in place in the story when he intentionally transferred the death note to someone else. At that point, the difficulty would be in being able to authoritatively prove that the Death Note is real, as in order to transfer it to someone else to give them such proof, you would also need to forget about it yourself.
Thats not even how it worked in Death Note.
In DN when the Japanese Task Force saw The Death Note and talked to Rem all they had to do was Touch the DN in order to see her and talk to her.
What you are talking about is claiming ownership of the DN. If you claim the DN as yours and transfer the owner ship to someone else then the person who owned it loses their memories.
Anyone can see the DN, touch it, read what is inside of it, and remember it all, but ownership of the DN is where the amnesia comes into play.
You are not the holder if you just have it, to be the holder you need to kill the current owner
I'd call this:
Sherlock Holmes and the Killer Book.
The big question is could columbo solve the Kira case?
Short answer: yes
Long answer: Light wouldn't even be able to use the death note on columbo's dog due to it not having a name. Columbo would bumble persistently until either Light plays his hand arrogantly or panics and incriminates himself.
This would actually be genius, because Colombo's strongest trait is playing off peoples ego's, they think he is an idiot, with an ego as big as Lights, he wouldn't even see Colombo as a threat until its too late.
Ight as a Sherlock Holmes fan I have read all the books watched all the films light cannot beat him
20:40 For the sake of clarity I thought it was important to mention that Light's proclamation about Raye Penber and the FBI was during the scene where his Father was in the hospital over a stress induced heart attack.
During that time frame there is a clear transition from night to day seeming to imply that they were already at the hospital for some amount of time and the situation concerning the FBI was explained to him in some amount of detail off screen. A great video all the same though!
Sherlock is more of a high functioning sociopath
The fact that this takes half its script from Seths Video makes this feel like some sort of parallel universe
Its still interesting; But could definitely have benefitted from more personalization/changes to stand out
A Victorian version of Death Note with Sherlock vs Light would be pretty sick.
16:35
The only way I see Light "winning" is that he kills himself before Sherlock confronts him with evidence, or Light sacrifices his lifespan to use the shinigami eyes to kill Sherlock. Then again, if Light does this, I dont see him considering this a win as he loathes the idea of using the shinigami eyes himself, if anything, with Sherlock dead, Light would at best see this as a tie and it would gnaw at his mind until the rest of his days.
the thing with L dragging the case on is comepletly wrong. I've seen this exact argument too many times. From L's Point of view it looked like Light was finishing his thought process who would just randomly talk to suspect about a FBI agent who has been killed by him? ofc he tells the suspect about that becouse he was suspicious Light just finished his train of thought. Many people with above average intelligence could end that train of thought. and for the 3 cards you mentioned. L wants to have full blown proof yes it was suspicious and Light did fuck up there but he didnt blunder it to the point of being 100% Kira he just made himself more suspicious
um wasn't L supposed to be Sher L ock. and Watari was Watson. was pretty obvious when i watched it that it was an adaptation of Sherlock. Kira is Moriarty, math genius, twisted moral compass, etc.
Great video but you mispronounce ‘Baskervilles’, the ‘villes’ part is pronounced like ‘villain’
He could solve it, but his situation is different from Ls.
Light would easily know his name due to his fame and his face would be in the papers.
Ls case is coincidentally apt to fight Kira since he has no recorded identity and has never shown his face or given his real name, otherwise Light would have killed him much earlier in the series, and that was the dilemma in the series for how Light was going to take him out without the shinigami eyes. Sherlock absolutely has the capacity to solve it but I believe he wouldn't get the chance.
