@eztlan it's like a saying i hard once about how the only way to get someone who keeps saying stupid things during the thanks giving family gatherings to be quiet is to say something even more insane. Better yet when light asks you to point out ryuk you simply refuse to elaborate, every once and awhile you pass by him "Oh hi ryuk."
There is only one moral solution: don't even try to catch Light. Just break into his house and activate his trap to destroy the Death Note. He will forget all his memories of using it and become essentially a good guy, no longer corrupted by power, unable to kill.
There's one thing I don't see anyone in the comments even begin to consider: Misa. Even if we catch Light as quickly as possible, Kira will still be known all around the world. He had already killed at least 200 people before L got involved. Misa will still feel inspired by Kira, and take on the role of the new Kira with Rem's Death Note. Hindsight won't help us much here, as Rem won't hesitate to kill us if we attempt to imprison Misa. What can we do, then? How can we catch Misa without getting ourselves killed?
Walk up to Light, look behind him 'Hey Ryuk, hows it going?' Watch him go absolutely insane as you give him an apple and walk off casually. Probably would get us killed, but it would be amazing to see him go crazy.
Well, Light starts to be actually careful only after L openly challenges him. Before that, he hides the note but other than that he's too confident in not being found. So, I would not take the situation seriously at all, and probably just break into his house as early as possible in the plotline, while he's at school, easily take the Deathnote from its hiding spot since we know how to, write his name and some silly shenanigans for when he gets home and then show it to him and bully him. I'm sure I'll manage to somehow die in the process but it would be still worth it.
I love any plan that involves breaking into Light's house, but I especially love the idea of using the Death Note on Light for good measure, this is such a fantastic plan
No no, you don’t have to die in the process, you can explicitly write “and dies unable to end another life” at the end of whatever creative ways you come up with for killing Light. The only trouble is you’d have to see Ryuk, the plan of just breaking in and setting off the fire trap is the best option truthfully bc this avoids having to see Ryuk or even interact with the notebook whatsoever, plus light literally isn’t a bad person til the notebook allows him to grow into the fucker we hate, so this version of light really isn’t even worth killing even if he’s ended many lives already, just let the little naive and self important 17 year old live, he’ll grow out of it without the powers of a god bc real life don’t work like that
Actually, you could in fact die in this scenario by the hands of Ryuk or lights dad(he’s one of the few people in Japan licensed to carry a gun at all, wouldn’t be the largest step to assume he’s armed off the clock too) but Ryuk’s specifically i think would be funny because he’d kill you for ruining all the fun he was going to have with light.

Alternative : Ask the school exam people to disallow watches during the exam just telling them it's relevant to a police case. Tell them to take the watch from students that come in and lock them in a box. Trigger the fire alarm, steal the box while everyone is out, grab the watch, write lights name on the death note paper piece in it and have him confess before he dies. Although that only catches light, realistically you want to wait until light and misa are seeing each other cause you'd need to catch both. Alternative 2 : Just tell the FBI to capture light and misa amane without telling them why and to look in their home telling them about the mechanism in light's desk. The japanese police would object to doing something like that but the FBI? it's the FBI lol, you could tell them to shoot light they'd be "ok sure" they don't care. Just ride off of the Lind L Tailor reveal to look competent enough to have them trust you. The hard part would be to make sure the death note is destroyed cause you don't want the FBI to get a hold of it tbh, U.S. with a death note is definitely worse than light.
I love this comment, and I especially love your point about the FBI lol. I'm putting together the followup video for this and while I was my friend and I were joking that if we told the FBI about the death note, Light would "disappear" in 24 hours. But now you have a worse problem on your hands- the death note is in America lolol
It turns out the paperwork mixup wasn't an accident, it was arranged by L to get someone to serve as a proxy for him. Which was part of Light's plan, because he wanted to draw us out and eliminate us as a potential threat. Which was part of L's plan because-
I know that this is just a fun thought exercise, though if I were to pop in with perfect knowledge, I would not worry about solving the case and just get the death note destroyed.
i'm fucking crying at how many points in this video were the equivalent of sisyphus rolling the ball up and down the hill whenever you remember another plot point or bring up your (lack of) intelligence 😭 this might just be my favorite DN video ever LOL
I think your sisyphus comparison is literally the funniest thing I've ever read, like that's just so real it hit my soul LMAOOO thank you so much for watching but especially thank you for leaving this comment it healed my soul 😭🙏🙏
You could just easily steal the death note though. We know how to safely retrieve it, but Light thinks it's completely hidden. You could also wire Raye or Naomi because Light reveals himself to both of them. On the funnier side, you can put a micro camera on Raye's back before Light holds him hostage.
That's such a good idea and also I laughed so much at the image of putting a little camera on Raye like he's a pet, I don't think Light has any counter to this
Scenario A-L still exists in universe) Go to Japan, bring Near, Mello, and Matt with you just for some extra brain power (you can convince Roger quite easily). Then just go to headquarters or wherever L is staying (again, you can get that from Roger), go to the main office and send a message to L (smth like “lawlite” or “Beyond Birthday” should do the trick). Tell all the info you know about the death note to them and the death note verse in general in a few hours. L should handle it very easily from there Scenario B-L doesn’t exist and thus Wammy house doesn’t exist, no need of conviction) Come into the Yagami household, ask to see their sons room (Souichiro should agree), come into the room and burn the death note via the trap that Light put. Light will forget everything and go back to normal. Idk how ryuk would react Scenario C-L still doesn’t exist, conviction is needed) Do scenario B but bring a fire extinguisher with you, retrieve the death note mostly unscathed. Confirm with souichiro and other yagami household members that it exists (and possibly the police. Don’t tell the fbi since they would take over and mess up from there, even if you are L as scene by the CTW novel)(also take a picture of the death note just in case). Then install a camera in an adjacent house to Light’s and wait for him to use it, then record it on a camera (ryuk shouldn’t be able to spot it). Cross reference the names with the murders and check that light wrote them just before it happened. Do this until enough circumstantial evidence is accumulated. Arrest Light via police force or your own influence and court him Sub scenario C) if light has his curtains drawn then wait in an adjacent house with the police. Then whenever he goes inside his room as confirmed by lights mom, simply rush in with the police quietly, knock down the door, and once again cross reference the names. This should be enough to arrest Light. If Misa somehow shows up and her arrival is expedited by the plot or smth) Explain the details of the DN canon to Rem in secret providing enough details so she believes you (stuff about shinigami realm as well). Then lie about the ending and tell her that Light kills Misa to either kill L, Near, Mello, or someone else. Rem should hopefully prioritize Misa’s life over her happiness. Also lie to Misa about Light and tell her that Kira didn’t kill her parents murderer and that that heart attack was natural. Not much you can do about Misa but the other stuff should work. And there, you arrested Light/defeated him under any pretense imaginable
The thing is, if light was around today he would be caught in about a week. Security cameras everywhere in the world now and people would be dedicated to finding him.
Cant believe you forgot Naomi! If you're sacrificing Ray(very upset about that) then you could have just left one member of the Task Force to met her before Light did and make her a member At that point you could leave all the work pretty much to her Edit: Nevermind just finished watching and you remembered her at the very end of the vid, way too pleased with myself for accidentaly predicting that lmao Question though - since Misa still has her notebook what would you do about it? Because I definitely think she would try to continue Light's work if left unchecked
All you really need to do is tell Raye to wear a wire + hidden camera before his death and you'll hear Light threatening him in the station, plus Raye's final moments reaching for him in the train station.
We know how Light hid the notebook so just follow the instructions Light gave to Ryuk in the anime. When we have access to the Yagami Household have Sochiro take the family out for the day and get in the house. If Sochiro can't get light out there's enough instances where he doesn't have the notebook with him and he leaves the house so it should be fine. I'm sure you can convince Sochiro to search his kids rooms just like how L did with the camera's. Use the only clear ballpoint pen Light has and do what he did in the show. open the drawer and raise the fake bottom with the ink chamber and take the notebook. maybe bring some light firefighter gear and a extinguisher just in case. Combing this with forensics and testing the validity of the notebook you could gather enough evidence to convict Light depending on how you got access to his room. and if not you'll stop the killings. Or you could kill Light and Misa or something. Once you're in court you could have the prosecution, defense and Judge touch the book and call Ryuk to the stand which could be pretty funny. If you want to make your presence known you could do the following Leave a basic sound recording device and a Paper with the L logo in the notebook's place and hope he rages and you get a confession. If you don't do that you could also leave as many camera's as you could in your timeframe to delay Light as much as possible, even if they aren't well hidden you could get an angle of the drawer which could make him think twice about opening it which could delay him.
I feel like I could just use my powers of knowing the story in advance during a conversation against light to make him take the shinigami eyes deal just to kill me. And that’s a win in my book.
Instead of L putting cameras in lights home but i would do is wait for light to go to college and when he does I'll get inside his room from the window and make sure i leave no trace that i was there and then I'll put pre recorded clips of criminals who's names or faces are not broadcasted anywhere so when light comes back he'll turn on the tv and after seeing those criminals names he'll write them down and when that specific criminal dies I'll know for sure that he is kira also now i have proof too
@eztlan hahahaha thanks😂 I suggest you should make a video about us in the place of near and what we would have done different to catch Kira in the warehouse because some RUclipsr debunked nears strategie and said that it wasn't possible to do
Tbh I would just yell about apples until Ryuuk interacted with me using a DN page Then, considering the DN has infinite pages, if you soaked just the tip with apple juice without ruining the notebook you'd have infinite apple juice which I could bribe not only Ryuk but the entirety of shinigamikind with and then its gg
4:31 and where at a discrepancy of what shiuld be done 😭😭😭 light shouldnt be aware of an "L" figure trying to find him cause then he stops being really reallly sloppy with his killings. Investigate in secret, gain lights fsthers trust, use that trust to get into lights house snd yhen while soichiro leasts expects it, find the desth note. Thats what i wuuld do anyways
Issue with the ultimate conclusion: Naomi would also KNOW you were not L. She’s an FBI agent who’s worked with L. Therefore you’re also going to jail for impersonation… have fun with that landmine!
Nah all you gotta do is follow Raye Penber around after the bus incident. Light reveals himself in person and proves his identity as Kira by killing a bystander in the subway. Just stun gun Light in the back, let Raye arrest him, and recover the pages from the train. With Raye's testimony, the papers in the train, and the scraps of the death note Light has on him, you can easily prove he's Kira. Then before the police get a warrant to search the Yagami house, you break in and steal the Death Note to make sure the cops don't accidentally incinerate it and it doesn't fall in the wrong hands. After that the real plan can be put into motion. You make Light confess his crimes and kill himself, leaving the case solved, but not fully resolved for the public. You take the death note to a meet and greet with Misa Misa, convince her you are the real Kira, seduce her, get married, and live happily ever after.
Idiots on 4 chan tracked down Shai Lebouf within like 24 hours by cross-referencing flightpaths. If there's a big enough movement on the internet to find Kira like he's a piece of lost media, it's absolutely joever for him.
If I were L I wouldn't have used Naomi, my reason is you'd need to convince the task force she's correct and to trust her which maybe hard to do considering that they might say she's being irrational plus her proof doesn't directly indicate Light is Kira. Instead what you do is break into Misas house, place a tracker on her purse. Then after we're sure Light has checked for bugs from his surveillance we disable his traps in his door, and place wire taps in his room. So when we see Misa is in Light's house we turn on the wire taps to record them talk about being Kira then we arrest him and test the notebooks
@@punyan775you are correct but at the end of the loss Angeles bb murders case Naomi meets L physically, meaning she knows we're not L, meaning she doesn't trust us because she wants to talk to L not some knock off meaning the original plan in the video wouldn't work
@@punyan775 your correct but at the end of the loss Angeles bb murders case Naomi meets L physically meaning she knows we're not L so she doesn't tell us her info and the original plan fails
The death note manga has sold 30 million copies in Japan, meaning the average person in Japan has read death note 1/4 of a time (population ~120 million). 1/4 of death note is definitely enough spoilers to go off of, I think.
This is an incredible statistic I wish I thought about and could've added to the video, thank you for commenting this!! That's honestly so funny that a general population could know vaguely enough about death note to solve the kira case
Now could the average person solve the Kira case without getting someone killed? So no Lind L Taylor/Ray death, I think in my case I would try to "install the cameras" while recording everything with a camera and take the Death Note, so I can see Ryuk and Plan A: Try to bribe him with apples and try to make up a new fake rule, something like "The Shinigami King now put a new rule and it's that if you don't write a name after 2 days you'll die, and the new only way to avoid death is confessing to those who brought you to life" (Sounds like this to try to imitate the mystical aura of the Death Note), so Light will probably go crazy and not wanting to die will confess, now subroute Plan A-2 if Light doesn't confess, maybe you could bribe Ryuk again to stay with you 24/7, so Light doesn't know what happened, now with Ryuk in my side as a witness I would give the Death Note to the task force explaining that once I got the notebook for some seconds I was able to talk with the Shinigami and I bribed him with apples for information, Ryuk testifies against Light and the Death Note with all the names plus the camera footage makes it clear that Light was Kira, now, Plan B, what happens if you can't bribe Ryuk because idk Light gives him more apples, I doubt Ryuk will reject apples so I would start to do the same thing of throwing apples to him, and bring him to "hang out" with some friends (Task force), I ask everyone to touch the notebook so they can see why the apple starts to levitate, now maybe you could try to bring Ryuk as a witness but the rest is the same, give the Death Note, give the camera footage, and Ryuk's existence proves that something magical was the power of Kira, idk if I missed something, I hope not, anyway, excelente video I really liked it :3
I think this'd be easy of you just copied L, but without directly challenging Light. My plan would be: I'd set up a fake Kanto-only news report about a dangerous criminal ring that have all been identified and are believed to be hiding in Japan. They're all death row inmates of course, with the additional catches that they're all being held in different countries and one of the criminals whose face is shown is given the name of another death row inmate. If Light takes the bait, I'd call Interpol and confirm to the japanese police all the deaths aside from the fake name one, which would also confirm everything that the Lind L. Taylor broadcast did, but without revealing myself. Then I'd request another Kanto-only fake broadcast showing that the all members of the criminal ring died. Around that time in the original story L already suspects that Kira is a student with access to police information, so next up I'd go pretty hard on this deduction (I also wouldn't involve the FBI here, so Raye is safe). My next trap would be to add a bunch of criminals to the database/documents members of the police have access to, with a 50/50 split of real names and fake ones. If Light takes the bait again and is getting info from just documents stored in Soichiro's computer, rather accessing some kind of online database, it's pretty much over for him (since I could create a unique list for every suspects' house in that case). But even if it's the latter it could still give enough credit to my hypothesis that Kira is one of three students with a parent on the police force. Hopefully this would all be enough to convince the police to search the suspects' houses, and I'd also have to convince them to let me be the one searching Light's room, to bypass the drawer trap. If I could get that, then it's over.
THANK YOU!! 🤧🙏🙏 After the next video I post there's going to be two follow ups to this called Can RUclips Comments Solve The Kira Case and another one after asking if we can solve the kira case from where Near started 🫡
big strat Mooch off Interpol money so I can wiretap Raye Penber Record that whole exchange with light before he dies copy your homework and call off the cop meeting early so Light doesn't meet Naomi.

Most of these videos are completely incorrect. The reason why Kira case was solved was because of the use of the Death Note itself involving several people. Columbo can't solve it because he doesn't believe in magic. Any detective who doesn't believe in magic is dead.

Tell them to take the watch from students that come in and lock them in a box. Trigger the fire alarm, steal the box while everyone is out, grab the watch, write lights name on the death note paper piece in it and have him confess before he dies.
Although that only catches light, realistically you want to wait until light and misa are seeing each other cause you'd need to catch both.
Alternative 2 : Just tell the FBI to capture light and misa amane without telling them why and to look in their home telling them about the mechanism in light's desk. The japanese police would object to doing something like that but the FBI? it's the FBI lol, you could tell them to shoot light they'd be "ok sure" they don't care. Just ride off of the Lind L Tailor reveal to look competent enough to have them trust you. The hard part would be to make sure the death note is destroyed cause you don't want the FBI to get a hold of it tbh, U.S. with a death note is definitely worse than light.
I love this comment, and I especially love your point about the FBI lol. I'm putting together the followup video for this and while I was my friend and I were joking that if we told the FBI about the death note, Light would "disappear" in 24 hours. But now you have a worse problem on your hands- the death note is in America lolol
It turns out the paperwork mixup wasn't an accident, it was arranged by L to get someone to serve as a proxy for him.
Which was part of Light's plan, because he wanted to draw us out and eliminate us as a potential threat.
Which was part of L's plan because-
LMFAOOOOO WE WERE ALWAYS PAWNS
I know that this is just a fun thought exercise, though if I were to pop in with perfect knowledge, I would not worry about solving the case and just get the death note destroyed.
i'm fucking crying at how many points in this video were the equivalent of sisyphus rolling the ball up and down the hill whenever you remember another plot point or bring up your (lack of) intelligence 😭
this might just be my favorite DN video ever LOL
I think your sisyphus comparison is literally the funniest thing I've ever read, like that's just so real it hit my soul LMAOOO thank you so much for watching but especially thank you for leaving this comment it healed my soul 😭🙏🙏
@@eztlanyou're so welcome!!
Watori getting the respect he deserves.
HE'S THE GOAT FR
You could just easily steal the death note though. We know how to safely retrieve it, but Light thinks it's completely hidden. You could also wire Raye or Naomi because Light reveals himself to both of them. On the funnier side, you can put a micro camera on Raye's back before Light holds him hostage.
That's such a good idea and also I laughed so much at the image of putting a little camera on Raye like he's a pet, I don't think Light has any counter to this
I’m watching this at school and now I have to save it to watch later so I can react appropriately. I can not keep silently scream-laughing
Omg thank you so much for watching and saving!!!!
As someone who’s watched that retrospective 3 times and counting i have to say
He truly gets it 🤧
4Chan would have Kira in a week or less💀
NO LITERALLY SO TRUE they're honestly scarier than any death note
No girl. No I wouldn't be able to do shit. Also I don't speak Japanese. I was a little baby in universe. And I'm not a savant orphan detective.
I too dont speak japanese
Honestly why my plan only relies on Ryuk understanding my screeching
damn genuinely surprised at how underrated this is
THANK YOU that makes my day to read
You could just break and enter into lights house and just steal the death note, no more murders problem solved.
Ooo I like that, like just break in immediately when you get to Japan? Or is there a better moment in the series to break in
Scenario A-L still exists in universe) Go to Japan, bring Near, Mello, and Matt with you just for some extra brain power (you can convince Roger quite easily). Then just go to headquarters or wherever L is staying (again, you can get that from Roger), go to the main office and send a message to L (smth like “lawlite” or “Beyond Birthday” should do the trick). Tell all the info you know about the death note to them and the death note verse in general in a few hours. L should handle it very easily from there
Scenario B-L doesn’t exist and thus Wammy house doesn’t exist, no need of conviction) Come into the Yagami household, ask to see their sons room (Souichiro should agree), come into the room and burn the death note via the trap that Light put. Light will forget everything and go back to normal. Idk how ryuk would react
Scenario C-L still doesn’t exist, conviction is needed) Do scenario B but bring a fire extinguisher with you, retrieve the death note mostly unscathed. Confirm with souichiro and other yagami household members that it exists (and possibly the police. Don’t tell the fbi since they would take over and mess up from there, even if you are L as scene by the CTW novel)(also take a picture of the death note just in case). Then install a camera in an adjacent house to Light’s and wait for him to use it, then record it on a camera (ryuk shouldn’t be able to spot it). Cross reference the names with the murders and check that light wrote them just before it happened. Do this until enough circumstantial evidence is accumulated. Arrest Light via police force or your own influence and court him
Sub scenario C) if light has his curtains drawn then wait in an adjacent house with the police. Then whenever he goes inside his room as confirmed by lights mom, simply rush in with the police quietly, knock down the door, and once again cross reference the names. This should be enough to arrest Light.
If Misa somehow shows up and her arrival is expedited by the plot or smth) Explain the details of the DN canon to Rem in secret providing enough details so she believes you (stuff about shinigami realm as well). Then lie about the ending and tell her that Light kills Misa to either kill L, Near, Mello, or someone else. Rem should hopefully prioritize Misa’s life over her happiness. Also lie to Misa about Light and tell her that Kira didn’t kill her parents murderer and that that heart attack was natural. Not much you can do about Misa but the other stuff should work.
And there, you arrested Light/defeated him under any pretense imaginable
The thing is, if light was around today he would be caught in about a week. Security cameras everywhere in the world now and people would be dedicated to finding him.
12:50 almost felt like an actual Death Note scene. 😄
LMFAOO THANK YOUU
Cant believe you forgot Naomi! If you're sacrificing Ray(very upset about that) then you could have just left one member of the Task Force to met her before Light did and make her a member
At that point you could leave all the work pretty much to her
Edit:
Nevermind just finished watching and you remembered her at the very end of the vid, way too pleased with myself for accidentaly predicting that lmao
Question though - since Misa still has her notebook what would you do about it? Because I definitely think she would try to continue Light's work if left unchecked
Honestly so insanely impressed you predicted the Naomi stuff, because it literally took me the entire video to remember that lolol
The algorithm brought me here so I'll leave a comment such that the algorithm might bring others here.
THANK YOU SO MUCH i really appreciate that
All you really need to do is tell Raye to wear a wire + hidden camera before his death and you'll hear Light threatening him in the station, plus Raye's final moments reaching for him in the train station.
Never underestimate the power of Just Some Guy
It's the most powerful type of guy!
as someone who has watched the entirety of That Death Note Retrospective, I definitely am the target audience for this and I am SAT
YES YOU ARE there was a period of my life where i would watch that video like every night lmaooo
We know how Light hid the notebook so just follow the instructions Light gave to Ryuk in the anime.
When we have access to the Yagami Household have Sochiro take the family out for the day and get in the house.
If Sochiro can't get light out there's enough instances where he doesn't have the notebook with him and he leaves the house so it should be fine. I'm sure you can convince Sochiro to search his kids rooms just like how L did with the camera's.
Use the only clear ballpoint pen Light has and do what he did in the show. open the drawer and raise the fake bottom with the ink chamber and take the notebook. maybe bring some light firefighter gear and a extinguisher just in case.
Combing this with forensics and testing the validity of the notebook you could gather enough evidence to convict Light depending on how you got access to his room. and if not you'll stop the killings. Or you could kill Light and Misa or something.
Once you're in court you could have the prosecution, defense and Judge touch the book and call Ryuk to the stand which could be pretty funny.
If you want to make your presence known you could do the following
Leave a basic sound recording device and a Paper with the L logo in the notebook's place and hope he rages and you get a confession.
If you don't do that you could also leave as many camera's as you could in your timeframe to delay Light as much as possible, even if they aren't well hidden you could get an angle of the drawer which could make him think twice about opening it which could delay him.
do what L did with all his master schemes and stuff and just predict the future
how they gonna doubt a future teller
I love this because we either win easily and Light can't figure out why, or we recreate the story of Cassandra lmaooo
What if light never killed the killer of mias parents?
Wait that's such a good question I'm gonna think about this
@eztlan bc it takes rem outta the equation completely so L would have never died
I like how you did it by handing it to naomi.
I’ve rewatched that 10 hour death note video 3 times
I know i could becouse i literaly knew who kira was in ep 1, like, worlds greatest detective over here
Honestly I feel you could just leave it to 4chan and they'd catch Kira rather quick. Tho most of them would probably side with him...
You know you may have a good point, unfortunately lol.. Maybe keep the death note away from them
Nah give it to them so we can have a Death Note spin off!
I feel like I could just use my powers of knowing the story in advance during a conversation against light to make him take the shinigami eyes deal just to kill me. And that’s a win in my book.
I also see that as an absolute win
43 bucks in checking is too real bro
😭🙏🙏
Instead of L putting cameras in lights home but i would do is wait for light to go to college and when he does I'll get inside his room from the window and make sure i leave no trace that i was there and then I'll put pre recorded clips of criminals who's names or faces are not broadcasted anywhere so when light comes back he'll turn on the tv and after seeing those criminals names he'll write them down and when that specific criminal dies I'll know for sure that he is kira also now i have proof too
You're inspiring me to make another video going through everyone else's strategies, you make such a great point here
@eztlan hahahaha thanks😂 I suggest you should make a video about us in the place of near and what we would have done different to catch Kira in the warehouse because some RUclipsr debunked nears strategie and said that it wasn't possible to do
very well put case, youve done it. take that power scalers
They'll never recover lolol, just wait until we find out if the average person can defeat Goku
13:30 pull out an apple and say "Want it?"
Tbh I would just yell about apples until Ryuuk interacted with me using a DN page
Then, considering the DN has infinite pages, if you soaked just the tip with apple juice without ruining the notebook you'd have infinite apple juice which I could bribe not only Ryuk but the entirety of shinigamikind with and then its gg
Absolutely! I knew from Episode 1 on that Light is Kira.
I think your Light impression is fire 🔥😄
THANK YOU IT IS LITERALLY MY ONLY MARKETABLE SKILL 🙏🙏
4:31 and where at a discrepancy of what shiuld be done 😭😭😭 light shouldnt be aware of an "L" figure trying to find him cause then he stops being really reallly sloppy with his killings. Investigate in secret, gain lights fsthers trust, use that trust to get into lights house snd yhen while soichiro leasts expects it, find the desth note. Thats what i wuuld do anyways
just a generic comment to boost this in the algorithm, i haven't even finished the video yet but i love it
And I can't thank you enough for that!!! It actually means so much, and thank you for watching!
I’ve watched all of a world without light like 2 times
It's literally so good it's like my most rewatched video and I still always find a chapter i missed
Issue with the ultimate conclusion: Naomi would also KNOW you were not L. She’s an FBI agent who’s worked with L. Therefore you’re also going to jail for impersonation… have fun with that landmine!
Great question! I shall address this in the follow up video to this 🫡
@@eztlan Be careful about the watch too, as the eye deal would be enough for you to lose your life.
Ooo good point!
Nah all you gotta do is follow Raye Penber around after the bus incident. Light reveals himself in person and proves his identity as Kira by killing a bystander in the subway. Just stun gun Light in the back, let Raye arrest him, and recover the pages from the train. With Raye's testimony, the papers in the train, and the scraps of the death note Light has on him, you can easily prove he's Kira. Then before the police get a warrant to search the Yagami house, you break in and steal the Death Note to make sure the cops don't accidentally incinerate it and it doesn't fall in the wrong hands. After that the real plan can be put into motion. You make Light confess his crimes and kill himself, leaving the case solved, but not fully resolved for the public. You take the death note to a meet and greet with Misa Misa, convince her you are the real Kira, seduce her, get married, and live happily ever after.
You're criminally underrated
Thank you so much omg 😭🙏🙏🙏
Nah bro trust i solo fr fr
Bold of you to assume I'm an average person.
Idiots on 4 chan tracked down Shai Lebouf within like 24 hours by cross-referencing flightpaths. If there's a big enough movement on the internet to find Kira like he's a piece of lost media, it's absolutely joever for him.
Kira vs 4 chan
@@nada3492 4chan at its prime
so if you replaced L what would you have done differently?
If I were L I wouldn't have used Naomi, my reason is you'd need to convince the task force she's correct and to trust her which maybe hard to do considering that they might say she's being irrational plus her proof doesn't directly indicate Light is Kira. Instead what you do is break into Misas house, place a tracker on her purse. Then after we're sure Light has checked for bugs from his surveillance we disable his traps in his door, and place wire taps in his room. So when we see Misa is in Light's house we turn on the wire taps to record them talk about being Kira then we arrest him and test the notebooks
@@BrianEdwardsonhe didn’t use Naomi. Naomi died before she could talk to him, he didn’t contact her first
@@punyan775you are correct but at the end of the loss Angeles bb murders case Naomi meets L physically, meaning she knows we're not L, meaning she doesn't trust us because she wants to talk to L not some knock off meaning the original plan in the video wouldn't work
@@punyan775 your correct but at the end of the loss Angeles bb murders case Naomi meets L physically meaning she knows we're not L so she doesn't tell us her info and the original plan fails
Bro, no way you have less than 1k subscribers. You are one of the most underrates youtubers on youtube.
That is seriously so kind, thank you so much for saying that, and I thank you even more for watching!! 🤧
Your Light Yagami impression was actually fire 😭😭🔥
The death note manga has sold 30 million copies in Japan, meaning the average person in Japan has read death note 1/4 of a time (population ~120 million).
1/4 of death note is definitely enough spoilers to go off of, I think.
This is an incredible statistic I wish I thought about and could've added to the video, thank you for commenting this!! That's honestly so funny that a general population could know vaguely enough about death note to solve the kira case
Now could the average person solve the Kira case without getting someone killed? So no Lind L Taylor/Ray death, I think in my case I would try to "install the cameras" while recording everything with a camera and take the Death Note, so I can see Ryuk and Plan A: Try to bribe him with apples and try to make up a new fake rule, something like "The Shinigami King now put a new rule and it's that if you don't write a name after 2 days you'll die, and the new only way to avoid death is confessing to those who brought you to life" (Sounds like this to try to imitate the mystical aura of the Death Note), so Light will probably go crazy and not wanting to die will confess, now subroute Plan A-2 if Light doesn't confess, maybe you could bribe Ryuk again to stay with you 24/7, so Light doesn't know what happened, now with Ryuk in my side as a witness I would give the Death Note to the task force explaining that once I got the notebook for some seconds I was able to talk with the Shinigami and I bribed him with apples for information, Ryuk testifies against Light and the Death Note with all the names plus the camera footage makes it clear that Light was Kira, now, Plan B, what happens if you can't bribe Ryuk because idk Light gives him more apples, I doubt Ryuk will reject apples so I would start to do the same thing of throwing apples to him, and bring him to "hang out" with some friends (Task force), I ask everyone to touch the notebook so they can see why the apple starts to levitate, now maybe you could try to bring Ryuk as a witness but the rest is the same, give the Death Note, give the camera footage, and Ryuk's existence proves that something magical was the power of Kira, idk if I missed something, I hope not, anyway, excelente video I really liked it :3
THIS IS AMAZING i think all of your plans work in my opinion and omfg i love them, thank you so much for sharing!!!
That’ 10 hour video was legendary
I think this'd be easy of you just copied L, but without directly challenging Light. My plan would be:
I'd set up a fake Kanto-only news report about a dangerous criminal ring that have all been identified and are believed to be hiding in Japan. They're all death row inmates of course, with the additional catches that they're all being held in different countries and one of the criminals whose face is shown is given the name of another death row inmate.
If Light takes the bait, I'd call Interpol and confirm to the japanese police all the deaths aside from the fake name one, which would also confirm everything that the Lind L. Taylor broadcast did, but without revealing myself. Then I'd request another Kanto-only fake broadcast showing that the all members of the criminal ring died.
Around that time in the original story L already suspects that Kira is a student with access to police information, so next up I'd go pretty hard on this deduction (I also wouldn't involve the FBI here, so Raye is safe).
My next trap would be to add a bunch of criminals to the database/documents members of the police have access to, with a 50/50 split of real names and fake ones. If Light takes the bait again and is getting info from just documents stored in Soichiro's computer, rather accessing some kind of online database, it's pretty much over for him (since I could create a unique list for every suspects' house in that case). But even if it's the latter it could still give enough credit to my hypothesis that Kira is one of three students with a parent on the police force.
Hopefully this would all be enough to convince the police to search the suspects' houses, and I'd also have to convince them to let me be the one searching Light's room, to bypass the drawer trap. If I could get that, then it's over.
Ok but could Light Yagami solve the Kira case?
Now that's the real question, and I also wonder, can kira solve the kira case?
@@eztlani think kira winn
The average person? Maybe. But not my dumb ass.
LMFAOOOOO then this video is for you, because I don't know anything
This is so fun 😭🙏 pls make more 🔥🔥
THANK YOU!! 🤧🙏🙏 After the next video I post there's going to be two follow ups to this called Can RUclips Comments Solve The Kira Case and another one after asking if we can solve the kira case from where Near started 🫡
Nah.. i’d win
big strat
Mooch off Interpol money so I can wiretap Raye Penber
Record that whole exchange with light before he dies
copy your homework and call off the cop meeting early so Light doesn't meet Naomi.
I got Naomi's Alibi that puts a lot of suspicion on Light and I have an audio recording of Raye outright saying "Light.... Yagami...." After a confirmed Kira encounter.
This is so interesting!
Thank you for watching!!!

so smart
BUDDY, u just gotta unlok his drawer trap, get the death note,
And use that to frame kira
Edit: u got there 😂😂
Also try this plan in the follow up video 🫡🫡
Most of these videos are completely incorrect. The reason why Kira case was solved was because of the use of the Death Note itself involving several people. Columbo can't solve it because he doesn't believe in magic. Any detective who doesn't believe in magic is dead.
Now the better question is, does the average person believe in magic? :O
