34:00 Light threatened to kill Misa for disobedience when they first met, and it didn't even make me feel any kind of way, but him yelling at her here and her flinching, made me uncomfortable.
Same. Maybe because it’s a more realistic depiction of domestic violence? But also because Misa did not even react to being threatened when they met, but here she does react with fear. If she wasn’t bothered by light lashing out, the scene wouldn’t immediately cause such an uncomfortable reaction from me. But she does, and so maybe that’s why the scene feels like that.
i think it boils down to her reaction. at the beginning of the show she is WILLINGLY putting herself out there to be used because that is what gives her a purpose, but in this episode she is clearly unhappy with the way he is treating her. what she really wanted was to be a useful tool not a domestic violence victim.
In the manga, Near explicitly tells the new L (aka Light) that on top of him doing nothing these past 5 years, Kira's public approval has actually increased because of him, and we're shown Light sweating on the other side of the phone. Near was on Light's nerves long before he even suspected Light xd.
@@JennyShull The exact wording might differ from one translation to another (sometimes quite a lot actually), I'm refering to the phone call between Light and Near in chapter 66, if that helps.
I would've loved it so much if Near ordered his members to change their legal names as soon as he heard about this trade for the Death Note. I think that would've been an interesting way to clue the audience in on how the Death Note would treat new names, and it would make Near seem a little more humane. I don't imagine it would have worked, seeing that the plot probably wouldn't want it to so as to avoid gymnastics, but I think it would've been a welcome addition.
I feel like the best way to be Kira and L at the same time is to do the Higuchi thing again. Continue to set up new "Kira" that then gets caught and a new one appears. That way it appears as though the "share my power" thing is real and that Kira can never be caught or they are literally a Shinigame.
i think that doesnt work without some effort, since by that point the L team already know that the death note exists, but then again i feel like Light could have done it with just a lot more work, but sorta like, why bother, he never expected M and N, and letting the public lose faith in L is a minor victory of its own
@nuclearcatpotatoe3714 It would be effort but I always assumed he'd get off on it. Literally becoming a god having his Kira and task force pawns fight it out while the public slowly realize there is no catching or defeating the idea of Kira forcing everyone to get in line.
The problem is that when the police catches a fake Kira, they take the Notebook. For Light to keep this up, he would need a steady supply of Notebooks, but he only has a few.
@@ferdinandpurczeld234 You can just send pages kind of like how it works later on. I don't think that's suspicious with Kira having mentioned sharing power anyways
My theory is, that the mafia held someone from the pilots family hostage or threatened that persons life, most likely his child/children. We have seen them having no trouble to kidnap people from all over the world and as you yourself pointed out, everyone would do everything to save/protect their child.
1:56 i 100% agree that Light SHOULD of killed the entire task force, his father included. As L himself said in a previous episode "where as the Kira I know wouldn't hesitate to kill his own father." 6 28 Again, 100% agree. L doing the whole "if I die, would you take over as L?" to Light, and Light openly saying that L was testing him, explaining the entire amnesia and faking, returning as Kira and becoming L in the future. I always took this as L literally telling, or at least planting, the idea in everyones head that "hey guys, if I get murdered in the next few weeks, Light killed me and this is his plan. Take notice!" And as we know, ONE member of the task force does, which again goes back to the previous point, he should of killed them all the second L died. 27:00 - my thought on the chief still being on the case is this. The moment Sayu was kidnapped, Light should of took the chief of the case and have him placed into that cell he was in back when Light handed himself in, saying something like "Dad, with Sayu missing and everything I know about you, I'm worried the kidnappers will use that to manipulate you somehow. I think it would be best to remove you from the case until we resolve this." Perhaps after he practically begged Light to save her. That way, when they go to LA, the kidnappers wouldnt approach him or hijack the plane. They clearly let Light, Missa and the others board their planes earlier. And as for the "anyone would do the trade" argument, i wouldnt. Because whats stopping them from using the notebook to kill Sayu anyway? Their word? They're criminals.
Regarding your engagement question , I actually think it’s a snap back to reality for Misa. There haven’t been any stakes in 5 years so she’s been able to submerge herself in this fantasy , with her love making the world a better place as a savior for mankind . But now that Light is acting out , Misa is remembering exactly what it was like and I think she’s horrified by it . But she also believes that if she helps Light , they can go back to how things were .
I thank you for posting that comment of yours. I referenced it in the Pastebin I made for my own newer comment because RUclips auto-deletes what I attempted to post for some inexplicable reason (no explanation gets provided, so I can't determine what instance if any of the Scunthrope Problem would be setting it off), detailing that the Savvy Guy Energetic Girl trope (which does apply to Light and Misa) can be treated as a fantasy. When all is said and done, Death Note is absolutely a case of "reality is harsh" underneath the premise of a magical notebook capable of killing people with insane ease and safety, which even that much isn't going to be covering that statement well. Your comment is welcome for bringing the whole tragedy to attention. Light may have an attempt at Enlightened Self-Interest, but he's no less of a dangerous moron in his own delusions, and the way he treats Misa, while not necessarily as harsh as what Joker has given to Harley Quinn (at least Light doesn't throw Misa out through a 3rd story window), is unnecessarily abrasive and has reduced Misa to being meek. I may not hate Light OR Misa, but I can cite that they're trying to live their fantasies at any cost, and it causes both of them as well as everybody around to suffer and like it.
It's very ironic that the chief couldn't wrap his head around the idea of why officers wouldn't want to help in the kira case at the beginning of the show when they told him that kira can not only target us but a friend and family as well and look where he's at now
Honestly? I can imagine Misa not really caring. She was 100% willing to kill her friend, after all, if it was what Light wanted. If it's what Light wants, she'll be happy with it. (As long as it isn't related to other girls, as we've seen.) I can imagine if Light was truly upset over it, I can see her consoling him. Honestly, I never considered Light actually caring about his family, though. But watching through this and hearing your take on it made me stop and wonder, and yeah, I completely agree that he probably doesn't just see his family as just...Obstacles. Your videos sometimes make me stop and think. You make great content. :]
I think it was plain as day that he cares about his family from the get go. Of all the people he relentlessly kills without a second thought, his family is the only time he actually pauses and begins to contemplate. It's the only thing that he actively avoids even thinking about from the start. This is the first time where he doesn't have any control, where he's desperate. He was never in that position against L, even when he had to gambit with his notebook forfeiture. For once, he actually doesn't have a plan, and I think that's what scares him the most.
light having an emotional reaction to his family being hurt was one of the most frustrating things about this show when i first watched it. not because of bad writing, in fact it's quite the opposite. up until this point i had demonized and villainized Light but then out of nowhere a shred of his humanity shines through and it just makes everything so much more complicated emotionally. i love this series.
This overanalysing anime series is really cool. Your formula is unique, and I'm yet to see something like it on RUclips. I've been following the death note one for a long time now and it's really engaging. I'd love to see you do other anime in the future like Attack On Titan would be a really good one, for example. But of course, you still have the Code Geass series in the works, I'm eager for the next episode of that.
I would love to do Attack on Titan at some point in the future, honestly. But like @albertlyngsbirg9555 said, Korotos is currently covering AoT episodically. I believe he also does it as more of a retrospective - so he pulls from future events when appropriate, whereas I approach it more like I’m watching it for the first time (which, given how long it’s been since I’ve watched the whole series - it does kinda feel that way at certain points. lol.) But, either way - I’d recommend their channel for AoT content if you’re hungry for it right now.
How the Death Note determines what is a valid name as allured me from the concept. I like to believe it's whatever name the person truly associates with themselves.
So, hypothetically speaking, you could kill Batman with it by just writing Batman as opposed to writing Bruce Wayne?? (Reference to Batman Beyond series)
Unless he believe that his true name deep down is Batman more than Bruce Wayne than yes. I honestly went with the what a person really think their name their name is because I like the idea of the Death Note not being tied to bureaucracy.
Hmmm, does that mean that a person around 750 days old (or whatever that cutoff was) suddenly develop a good enough self identity to associate with their name?
@@IcyXzavien Come to think of it, wouldn’t that make the Death Note less effective as Light uses it? I imagine many people have much stronger affinities to their nicknames than legal names. I know I do.
Halfway through the episode, but RE: Light taking up L's mantle being a mistake. Light taking up L's mantle is actually a perfect play... working under the assumptions light has. And I don't mean with the info light had, he had to assume there were some things he didn't know yet. Primarily im taking about his ego, and the fact he thinks he's smarter then everyone. To use an analogy, its like how in sailing youd rather a head wind then no wind at all. If you are sailing east and the wind is blowing west you actually still can sail east, it just requires the right arrangment of sails. But if you hit a doldrums, a place with no wind, you're trapped, completely and utterly, no matter how cleverly you arrange your sails. Similarly, if he is being investigated and lands in contact with the people investigating him early then he has his ear to the ground. Everything they do will give him some information he can use to investigate them back. Every discovery they make he has a chance of figuring out they made it. But if he kills the task force? No contact at all? That opens up a lot more likelihood he gets found out through sheer bad luck. Imagine Mellow stalking around lights town, a place that L very publicly noted was likely to be near Kira, and while light is out some act of god (a fire, a gas explosion, a flood, ect.) ends up breaking his hiding spot for the deathnote and Mellow just happens to uncover it before light can get back. Likely? No. Narratively unsatisfying? Absolutely. Possible? Yes. Or perhaps Nier is looking through Ls old cases and finds out something is related to the more supernatural elements of the deathnote? He might somehow be able to find Kira that way. In both cases light would end up completely blindsided, smacked in the face with a fatal stroke of bad luck he had no chance to prepare for. If he takes up Ls mantle, though, there is a better chance of him knowing where the other investegators might be looking and how close they might be getting and other useful information. The only possible downside is if he looses the contest of intellects, if he makes a mistake, if he gets *outsmarted*. And no one can outsmart him. Thats like trying out outsmart god. I mean, he has already and *explicitly* called himself such. So, yeah, I don't think it was really a mistake in terms of his strategy or him not thinking though things, I think it was his ego that made him convinced this was the best plan of action because he just assumed he'd be able to outwit anyone who came looking for him.
That question about Misa is a good one! Tbh I don’t know either 😅I think she’s written in… contradictory ways a lot of the time, so I see a lot of different reactions making sense for her. But imo an interesting response would be if she remained totally on Light’s side, didn’t question him and remained as faithful as always. But internally, she would be wracked with grief and maybe even guilt for not intervening. For the first time, whether she recognizes it consciously or not, she would feel like she can’t trust Light to share those feelings with or to connect with him in that grief. Like, she’s kept things from him before, but never in a way where she seemed terribly burdened by it iirc. I think it could theoretically drive a wedge in their relationship where they both feel like they have to pretend to be a lovey-dovey couple, Light wouldn’t even notice the difference because I don’t think he realizes that she’s like, a human being, and then at some point Misa would compartmentalize those feelings and it’d be back to business as usual (for real). But that’s just my instinctive take. Always good to see a video from you!! I started watching it as soon as it came out, but only now did I remember I never actually finished it! Lucky me, it’s like I got *two* new episodes of Overanalyzing Death Note :]
Like Nunaly Lelouch’s sister was not the same after she witnessed something awful. I think on the stairs of her parent’s house if I remember correctly. Nunally was unable to walk and see after what she witnessed.
29:00 I imagine the name you feel is your own is the correct one if Misa thought of herself as “Misa Yagami” after getting married then that should work but if she still thought of herself as having her maiden name then that would probably still be the correct one.
He's back!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for you to tackle this half of rhe season. I know it's controversial, but I love the second half. (although that may be influenced by my knowledge of the manga)
So regarding your question on what Misa thinking, I think it’s unfortunate still “I must have done something wrong it’s my fault” as due to her past and the current world state; she never going question if Light is doing her wrong by snapping at her. Though I like to mention that Ryuk does care for Misa ever since she got the book back, or really more so to say Ryuk is done with Light at this point. As we see much later on he seem way more entertained by Matsuda and everyone else than he is with Light as well as just is generally more callous towards Light in this part. Personally can’t wait to see how you think Ryuk feels about Light at this point.
although people with aspd and aspd-adjacent traits/characteristics such as sociopathy and psychopathy may have a general lack of empathy towards people as a whole, they are still capable of distinguishing those closest to them from strangers. essentially light is perfectly capable of having an emotional reaction to his family members being hurt while also not even batting an eye at the other horrific things he's done to other people.
He didn't even NEED to kill his father or the other members of the kira task force, just imagine this guy who you don't know the real name to dropping dead, you know he kept his name as secret as ever, everyone is present... He just needs to convince them to stop the investigation, and later on, he can make the other members of the task force (outside his father), "disappear"
@@isolabarge4196 with all of the members dead, Light could have faked his death. Making it look like Kira simply finally found out all of their names and faces, and killed them. It would be a very logical conclusion that if Kira got to L and Watari that he can get to the rest.
He had me thinking of over analyzing death note and code geass while he dropped off the planet my mind replays “ that’s what happens when your invaded by assholes “
20:20 I think Misa may be genuinely shocked for a moment as she has been pretty clear from day one about killing anyone for Kira. As well as enduring several days of torture; I think she’s locked in. But she may be surprised that light had considered the option finally or that it bothered him so much. Or a combination of the two.
29:10 how is this a written script yet you react so playfully and real like its off the dome😂😂😂 i love how well executed your voice overs are💥💥 cant wait for the next drop
Welcome back, and here's to a gun salute for your grandmother. Hopefully, things will stabilize at least. Getting to what I've been planning to write, I was already wanting to make some points involving Light being hostile toward Misa in this episode, though before you even reach that point, I'm even more recognizing Light to be a glorified idiot, this time for not recognizing who he has by his side. And what you point out about Light's care toward his family does provide more material to point out. Whether or not Light is a Complete Monster is ultimately YMMV, and I can point out that vanilla TV Tropes deems Light not killing Sayu to be Pragmatic Villainy, which I can see their point at the point where Light's morals inevitably deteriorate enough and his care for his family isn't necessarily redeeming enough. What I will stand by, however, is that Light is more pitiable than anything, something that his treatment of Misa does still test, but I have something to say about that first and foremost. Light's treatment of Misa here is needlessly cold, there is no denying that. Shouting her down for trying to check up on him was absolutely excessive, and slapping the offer drink intended for him out of her hand was straight up mistreatment. If not necessarily as awful as the Joker toward Harley Quinn, or definitely not directly (though of course, Joker himself views Harl as a pawn anyway--oh, and high bar, I know), Light definitely let his rage get the better of him to an unhealthy degree. And yet, I'm remembering that Light, not without cause, DOES view Misa as a case of Stop Helping Me when she's acting on her own. He's so blinded by his Knight Templar efforts that he's ultimately not recognizing that people have different strengths and weaknesses, and not even getting into Light's hubris, Light straight up has underdeveloped and mishandled emotional intelligence. The bulk of his mind is focused on mechanical stuff, even if he's not as obvious about it as Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory, except Dexter ultimately shows better moments of empathy, some of HIS better moments involving him actively attempting to keep Dee Dee safe. Light isn't caring to understand the sort of points to what we see with Dexter protecting his Childish Older Sibling. He just wants his definition of the trains running on time. He brings his problems upon himself, but this can very well be the definition of his rigid personality simply being a problem to where he was needing therapy before he picked up the DN, not by all implications him being stuck as a Well Done Son Guy to a rigid in his own right father and an Education Mama. Ah, the dangers of encouraging "independence." This isn't even getting into how Misa is interested in supporting Light, as you point out. I can safely say that she is recognizing this conflict of interests that Light is having, and wants to figure out what to do about the situation, even if it obviously is out of her hands. I'm reiterating this: "Light, you are an idiot!" He does a bad job of recognizing what he has, and it shows here. You also indirectly let me know that Light's poor regard of Misa absolutely CLASHES with his care for his family, however questionable that still can be. Okay, so Light is caring about family....but isn't that inevitably some case of tribalism? That's something Dragon Ball Super would come to see fit to call out actively, although I'd have to go into VERY active spoilers to mention what I'm talking about. Light Yagami, once again, is a cautionary tale, this time about the dangers of tribalism. With Misa, even if we shouldn't soon forget about anything involving the Sakura TV incident and its surrounding murders and manipulations, she's at least loyal to Light to redeeming levels. Even if it's not what happens at the end of the series, Light and Misa permanently becoming Boxed Crooks would have been ideal closure, having them actually contribute to the health of society while making sure they're never again threats trying to force their Scare Em Straight viewpoint down people's throats with mass murder. Because I can be sure we can agree that neither of them are just murderers, although Gods do both of them make it hard to find evidence of their redeeming points in their overfocus on evasion of the legal system or, ironically, their very mission statement itself in its apathy. There is one point that I can cover more actively to punctuate where I'm going with this, and that's the Savvy Guy Energetic Girl trope. It's worth noting that I did the trope workshop entry for that years ago, with a key part of my inspiration being a deviantArt piece that had Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends characters as Death Note characters, and I'm sure you could guess who Mac and Goo were respectively playing on the dA piece. Obviously, however, SGEG can be played in different ways, and you might be familiar with its involvement in the bulk of the Ace Attorney games. Something I can point out is a game I've been wanting to make with its own story, where the protagonist, a hormone-driven lad wanting to hide as much, eventually first meets with a Manic Pixie Dream Girl by protecting her from a group of scumbags, resulting in the MPDG immediately being enamored with him. The protagonist obviously still avoids announcing his more...ambitious intent with somebody like the MPDG, who proceeds to actively show her trust in him, leaving him to privately wonder whether she's a Shedog In Sheep's Clothing or a Kindhearted Simpleton. When he gets proof that the former isn't a problem and the MPDG, in response to further protection toward her by the protagonist against the story's incredibly cruel and powerful Big Bad, soon after promises to offer him a "birthday present" for his conveniently timed birthday, the protagonist starts subtly hinting his real intent in concern for her welfare. You can probably guess whether or not the MPDG knows the truth from the start, something the protagonist is able to see proof of naturally right after his Hero's Frontier Step with a Heroic Sacrifice directly resulting in the heroes' triumph and that he only survives by chance, and suffice to say, they wouldn't have problems working things out at all from that point onward. What I can point out is that I realize that the MPDG is a potential Magnificent Baddie, which would actually be perfect for her role by calling out careless imitation of her while still showcasing her merits clear as day, and very likely the only thing I would need to do for that beyond application would be having her enthusiastically encouraging child soldiers to come into battle with apparent disregard to their ages while incidentally directing them to trust the protagonist. What she is designed to be already is somebody who would even revel in her being a Genki Girl to the point where she would lampshade her Savvy Guy Energetic Girl relationships, something that would have material like the Eureka Moment trope. Her intelligence itself is a plot point and most of the other criteria is guaranteed to be covered as well. I bring up this character concept to provide a compare-and-contrast with Misa. As we know, Misa is devoted to Light, knowing that Light is the dangerous, manipulative vigilante known as Kira. And Misa, like the MPDG I mentioned, is the persistent Genki Girl love interest for the involved crafty protagonist. But this is surface level. What's the key difference? Well, it's simple: Misa enables Light in willful ignorance, which can only lead to disaster; whereas the MPDG goes by actions that just so happen to spark her guy's conscience, and whether or not that was by her design to which she already has Rescue Romance written all over her face for a motive, she would inevitably be happy when her guy lives up to her trust and it leads to very welcome results. When all is said and done, Light and Misa do have their ideas and points, but they are ultimately Deconstructions. Light thinks he knows best, and regardless of justifications like Misa being a case of Stop Helping Me, it leads to disaster. Misa makes herself into a glorified cheerleader for Light, and regardless of her support for Light being genuine, it leads to disaster. This has more to do with Death Note being more caring about involving deconstruction, but there's only so much that can be done other than take notes and see what can be done for reconstruction, because at least now we should have better understanding of things.
Been following for a long time and I love your videos so much!!! Not only your theories, but also the images and how they relate to what you're saying. Don't ever apologize for taking your time to produce them. They're very complex and a gift to us ❤
Not to jump into your work, but i think that your format would do wonders for Odd Taxi. Obviously, you're already working on Code Geass, but once you finish the Death Note videos, a shorter story that's still swimming in details to pick apart would be great.
I Love this series so much and the fact that ur making more IS AMAZING!! ive never seen code geass but im basically watching it through your videos and its hype!
i always thought it was that melo was heavily involved in the latin american drug trade. thats making him likley the most wealthy on the show. they likley land the plane somewhere in mexico as the USA wouldnt allow for random planes to be flying in the airspace (remember this came out not long after 911) plane jackings werea far more popular concept in media. the reason why they have an underground bunker and packing heavy weaponry is well becasuse the cartel has that kinda stuff. its pretty outlandish way to take the story but like deathnote has always been pretty whacky.
So this episode is one of the better of the timeskip episodes when compared to the manga, and follows it mostly. Of note is why he would calmly declare it not a hijacking... because he is the pilot. Technically, the vehicle was in his control, and all he did was subdue the co-pilot that wasn't on board with the plan and declare a big threat... which, yeah, distinction without a difference, dude has just done a bunch of crimes and would probably still get slapped with hijacking charges (among others). And while what the crime organization has on him is left vague, in the manga it is also (somewhat) talked about as far as the organization doing the kidnapping and hijacking having a shockingly large reach and... well, as was shown, they have a lot of resources too. I'd imagine this is basically what's left of several crime syndicates that banded together after they all lost a lot of manpower to Kira. So it's basically a bunch of people who have a lifetime in crime that managed to evade Kira that now have MORE info on Kira to deal with that issue. Kinda a scary group, really. We don't need to know the specifics because the implied amount of power the organization has means it could be damn near anything. Either that or the pilot was always one of their members in the first place and still had a flawless record, which is also terrifying for different reasons. It really shows what crime would become in a post Kira world, either going away or escalating in stealth and severity to the point of matching Kira. Most of this is implied rather than openly stated, and in part could be why the last arc of Death Note is considered the weakest. It's not BAD but, well, we'll get there. As for where they landed, most of the deserts of California are in the southern part of California near where LA and the like are. They probably went past LA, likely to the south, and landed in the deserts in the southeast of California, which is basically that huge bunch of deserts all clumped together in the Southwestern US. Given that commercial flights do include a safety margin of fuel, particularly for ocean crossings, a (relatively) short detour souteast of LA is probably doable. Either that or they aimed further south and landed in Baja California across the border, but that starts to stretch the level of reasonable detours. And yes, a plane could land in a desert and take back off because deserts are full of very flat land. That basically is why you want a runway, but sans runway, all you need is flat enough and long enough to safely stop moving or reach liftoff speed before hitting anything. It wouldn't be a FUN landing or takeoff, and probably would require the plan see some additional maintenance time, and could run the risk of breaking something, but we don't see that happen here so we have to assume that the pilot is good enough and the terrain clear enough to not brick the plane's landing. Given what's hidden here... yeah, it tracks that there'd be a spot that's good enough for a landing. So what's hidden here can be inferred from where they are, which is the Southwestern deserts of the US which saw a lot of use for something very specific... above ground and underground nuclear testing. Yeah, I'm betting this was a former nuclear testing site, or at least a staging area for it, and has since been abandoned and then basically turned into a spot for criminals to do... well, stuff like this. In the manga, it is mentioned this facility has been used for similar trades in the past, so it's just following a line backwards in time as it gets more and more vague. Again, it's more inferred rather than stated. As for the leads, Mello is of course basically just telling everyone that he probably has guessed is listening in "get fucked lol", and Near is basically going "Huh, so they had an old nuclear facility to work with, that's a CLUE". Where Light and the NPA are going "AH WE'RE FUCKED!" So yeah, effectively this new crime group has possession of an old crime syndicate's location that was probably formally a nuclear testing site that for some reason was just left to rot in the desert. That all being said, Light did have an out still after all of this, but it would have been BRUTAL. He would have had to kill the entire NPA task force except for his father and sister, probably kill Misa as well (and take back the notebook entirely), then fake his death. Just full on disappear leaving a Kira coded 'suicide note'. This probably would have left Light in the lurch, and if anyone broadcast his name as the vanished task force member, he would probably just have his name written by the kidnappers "just in case". So not exactly much of an out, but it would have been his best chance to avoid the cavalcade of disaster laying in front of him. As for Near... in the manga he theorizes that what happens would be the result if Mello had a spy in the SPK (which he did, and was shown in the manga). Right after he thinks that, he gets some nasty conformation of it. The way the anime handles that scene is weird. Also, the member of Near's team that stuck the gun to his head? That was the spy in the manga. And notably he was the only one shown to be taken out via a method like that instead of heart attack, implying Mello showed Near who his spy was at the last second... just to rub it in. Mello be petty. And by THE spy, I mean the one relevant to this part. There's another, but we'll get there. And yeah... Sidoh. Man, I'd say the anime did him dirty, but the manga and Ryuk did him dirty too. Just EVERYONE will do that guy dirty.
I've been really enjoying these overanalyzing series. The formula is unique, nice dialogue too feels like you're talking with a friend about it lol. Since you seem to be covering very philosophical in depth thriller anime like Death Note and Code Geass, would you ever consider doing a Psycho Pass series? It shares similar traits to these two and I think it suits your style
Death note episode 28: me when waiting for one of your new videos (in all seriousness though, these videos are really high quality and while I would like for them to be posted more often I understand why that isn't the case, thank you for amazing content)
I’m glad you enjoy ‘em so much! I’m currently coming up with some solutions that’ll help with production speed, so more videos might be coming on a more consistent basis. I’m actually working on the next video today. But, regardless, I hope you end up enjoying this one!
Welcome back! Read your post, sorry to hear things have been hard for you. Hope things improve for you! Regarding the new name thing, far as we know the only time Light has failed to kill anybody was if they were using an alias or if their name was misspelled in the news. No other criteria was mentioned for the Death note failing to kill anybody. I find it very unlikely that nobody ever had their name changed during the 5 years Light has run as Kira and if that had happened, than L should have picked up on that but it's never mentioned. So I assume it works like this, the name you're given at birth obviously works but if your name changes due to say marriage or something like that, than that is your name as well. So the Death note recognizes and can kill you with either name, regardless of which one you write in the book.
Light asking why it feels like he’s talking to L when bro’s name is also a letter. Those 5 years has made this man’s brain rot from the lack of stimulation from his dead boyfriend fr.
I checked the manga. It wasn't even Light's doing since he's actually shocked in his thoughts (Chapter 64, 4th and 5th pages), and Mello's group didn't have any of the DNs at that point. The pilot was simply not under the DN's effects.
dude just went "welcome back everyone!" as if it hasn't been half a year
It’s been 2 months lol
It has not been half a year

exactly this. exam tomorrow i give NOT one shit
watching this at 5am
Similar story happened with me and the patreon episode upload, lmao.
34:00
Light threatened to kill Misa for disobedience when they first met, and it didn't even make me feel any kind of way, but him yelling at her here and her flinching, made me uncomfortable.
Same. Maybe because it’s a more realistic depiction of domestic violence? But also because Misa did not even react to being threatened when they met, but here she does react with fear. If she wasn’t bothered by light lashing out, the scene wouldn’t immediately cause such an uncomfortable reaction from me. But she does, and so maybe that’s why the scene feels like that.
Remember, in Light's mind, Misa is just a "criminal". The only reason he keeps her around is because she's useful.
I think from their body language it's implied he was going to kill her himself, the second time, rather than use the Death Note.
i think it boils down to her reaction. at the beginning of the show she is WILLINGLY putting herself out there to be used because that is what gives her a purpose, but in this episode she is clearly unhappy with the way he is treating her. what she really wanted was to be a useful tool not a domestic violence victim.
@@OG-ColorfulAbyss. thats a great way of putting it. she knew death was a possibility for her but not physical harm.
In the manga, Near explicitly tells the new L (aka Light) that on top of him doing nothing these past 5 years, Kira's public approval has actually increased because of him, and we're shown Light sweating on the other side of the phone. Near was on Light's nerves long before he even suspected Light xd.
Does what is in the manga differ from country to country?
@@JennyShull The exact wording might differ from one translation to another (sometimes quite a lot actually), I'm refering to the phone call between Light and Near in chapter 66, if that helps.
I would've loved it so much if Near ordered his members to change their legal names as soon as he heard about this trade for the Death Note. I think that would've been an interesting way to clue the audience in on how the Death Note would treat new names, and it would make Near seem a little more humane. I don't imagine it would have worked, seeing that the plot probably wouldn't want it to so as to avoid gymnastics, but I think it would've been a welcome addition.
I feel like L would've done that
that's a great idea i had never considered before.
@@isolabarge4196 thanks bae 🩵
I believe the Death Note works off of your birth name.
I feel like the best way to be Kira and L at the same time is to do the Higuchi thing again. Continue to set up new "Kira" that then gets caught and a new one appears. That way it appears as though the "share my power" thing is real and that Kira can never be caught or they are literally a Shinigame.
i think that doesnt work without some effort, since by that point the L team already know that the death note exists, but then again i feel like Light could have done it with just a lot more work, but sorta like, why bother, he never expected M and N, and letting the public lose faith in L is a minor victory of its own
@nuclearcatpotatoe3714 It would be effort but I always assumed he'd get off on it. Literally becoming a god having his Kira and task force pawns fight it out while the public slowly realize there is no catching or defeating the idea of Kira forcing everyone to get in line.
The problem is that when the police catches a fake Kira, they take the Notebook. For Light to keep this up, he would need a steady supply of Notebooks, but he only has a few.
@@ferdinandpurczeld234 You can just send pages kind of like how it works later on. I don't think that's suspicious with Kira having mentioned sharing power anyways
My theory is, that the mafia held someone from the pilots family hostage or threatened that persons life, most likely his child/children.
We have seen them having no trouble to kidnap people from all over the world and as you yourself pointed out, everyone would do everything to save/protect their child.
Ye. Don't fix what ain't broke. Kidnapping is very effective.

Sounds like... "Impatience!" 🙃
Stfu (idk if you're joking) @@carealoo744
1:56 i 100% agree that Light SHOULD of killed the entire task force, his father included. As L himself said in a previous episode "where as the Kira I know wouldn't hesitate to kill his own father."
6 28 Again, 100% agree. L doing the whole "if I die, would you take over as L?" to Light, and Light openly saying that L was testing him, explaining the entire amnesia and faking, returning as Kira and becoming L in the future. I always took this as L literally telling, or at least planting, the idea in everyones head that "hey guys, if I get murdered in the next few weeks, Light killed me and this is his plan. Take notice!" And as we know, ONE member of the task force does, which again goes back to the previous point, he should of killed them all the second L died.
27:00 - my thought on the chief still being on the case is this. The moment Sayu was kidnapped, Light should of took the chief of the case and have him placed into that cell he was in back when Light handed himself in, saying something like "Dad, with Sayu missing and everything I know about you, I'm worried the kidnappers will use that to manipulate you somehow. I think it would be best to remove you from the case until we resolve this." Perhaps after he practically begged Light to save her. That way, when they go to LA, the kidnappers wouldnt approach him or hijack the plane. They clearly let Light, Missa and the others board their planes earlier. And as for the "anyone would do the trade" argument, i wouldnt. Because whats stopping them from using the notebook to kill Sayu anyway? Their word? They're criminals.
Regarding your engagement question , I actually think it’s a snap back to reality for Misa. There haven’t been any stakes in 5 years so she’s been able to submerge herself in this fantasy , with her love making the world a better place as a savior for mankind . But now that Light is acting out , Misa is remembering exactly what it was like and I think she’s horrified by it . But she also believes that if she helps Light , they can go back to how things were .
I thank you for posting that comment of yours. I referenced it in the Pastebin I made for my own newer comment because RUclips auto-deletes what I attempted to post for some inexplicable reason (no explanation gets provided, so I can't determine what instance if any of the Scunthrope Problem would be setting it off), detailing that the Savvy Guy Energetic Girl trope (which does apply to Light and Misa) can be treated as a fantasy.
When all is said and done, Death Note is absolutely a case of "reality is harsh" underneath the premise of a magical notebook capable of killing people with insane ease and safety, which even that much isn't going to be covering that statement well. Your comment is welcome for bringing the whole tragedy to attention. Light may have an attempt at Enlightened Self-Interest, but he's no less of a dangerous moron in his own delusions, and the way he treats Misa, while not necessarily as harsh as what Joker has given to Harley Quinn (at least Light doesn't throw Misa out through a 3rd story window), is unnecessarily abrasive and has reduced Misa to being meek. I may not hate Light OR Misa, but I can cite that they're trying to live their fantasies at any cost, and it causes both of them as well as everybody around to suffer and like it.
Dude I had the shitiest day at work today and you just made my night by uploading this. I'll have my dinner with this, thanks king!
It's very ironic that the chief couldn't wrap his head around the idea of why officers wouldn't want to help in the kira case at the beginning of the show when they told him that kira can not only target us but a friend and family as well and look where he's at now
Honestly? I can imagine Misa not really caring. She was 100% willing to kill her friend, after all, if it was what Light wanted. If it's what Light wants, she'll be happy with it. (As long as it isn't related to other girls, as we've seen.) I can imagine if Light was truly upset over it, I can see her consoling him.
Honestly, I never considered Light actually caring about his family, though. But watching through this and hearing your take on it made me stop and wonder, and yeah, I completely agree that he probably doesn't just see his family as just...Obstacles. Your videos sometimes make me stop and think. You make great content. :]
He really does!
I think it was plain as day that he cares about his family from the get go. Of all the people he relentlessly kills without a second thought, his family is the only time he actually pauses and begins to contemplate. It's the only thing that he actively avoids even thinking about from the start. This is the first time where he doesn't have any control, where he's desperate. He was never in that position against L, even when he had to gambit with his notebook forfeiture. For once, he actually doesn't have a plan, and I think that's what scares him the most.
light having an emotional reaction to his family being hurt was one of the most frustrating things about this show when i first watched it. not because of bad writing, in fact it's quite the opposite. up until this point i had demonized and villainized Light but then out of nowhere a shred of his humanity shines through and it just makes everything so much more complicated emotionally. i love this series.
This overanalysing anime series is really cool. Your formula is unique, and I'm yet to see something like it on RUclips. I've been following the death note one for a long time now and it's really engaging.
I'd love to see you do other anime in the future like Attack On Titan would be a really good one, for example.
But of course, you still have the Code Geass series in the works, I'm eager for the next episode of that.
If you like attack on titan you should check out korotos mystery shack he does similar in-depth analysis
I would love to do Attack on Titan at some point in the future, honestly. But like @albertlyngsbirg9555 said, Korotos is currently covering AoT episodically. I believe he also does it as more of a retrospective - so he pulls from future events when appropriate, whereas I approach it more like I’m watching it for the first time (which, given how long it’s been since I’ve watched the whole series - it does kinda feel that way at certain points. lol.)
But, either way - I’d recommend their channel for AoT content if you’re hungry for it right now.
ITS A GOOD DAY WHEN MY BOY POSTS A OVERANALYZING DEATH NOTE/CODE GEASS EPISODE WOOOOOHHH
How the Death Note determines what is a valid name as allured me from the concept. I like to believe it's whatever name the person truly associates with themselves.
So, hypothetically speaking, you could kill Batman with it by just writing Batman as opposed to writing Bruce Wayne?? (Reference to Batman Beyond series)
Unless he believe that his true name deep down is Batman more than Bruce Wayne than yes. I honestly went with the what a person really think their name their name is because I like the idea of the Death Note not being tied to bureaucracy.
Hmmm, does that mean that a person around 750 days old (or whatever that cutoff was) suddenly develop a good enough self identity to associate with their name?
I believe so.
@@IcyXzavien Come to think of it, wouldn’t that make the Death Note less effective as Light uses it? I imagine many people have much stronger affinities to their nicknames than legal names. I know I do.
bro was the biggest teachers pet to the English teacher
Halfway through the episode, but
RE: Light taking up L's mantle being a mistake.
Light taking up L's mantle is actually a perfect play... working under the assumptions light has. And I don't mean with the info light had, he had to assume there were some things he didn't know yet. Primarily im taking about his ego, and the fact he thinks he's smarter then everyone.
To use an analogy, its like how in sailing youd rather a head wind then no wind at all. If you are sailing east and the wind is blowing west you actually still can sail east, it just requires the right arrangment of sails. But if you hit a doldrums, a place with no wind, you're trapped, completely and utterly, no matter how cleverly you arrange your sails.
Similarly, if he is being investigated and lands in contact with the people investigating him early then he has his ear to the ground. Everything they do will give him some information he can use to investigate them back. Every discovery they make he has a chance of figuring out they made it.
But if he kills the task force? No contact at all? That opens up a lot more likelihood he gets found out through sheer bad luck. Imagine Mellow stalking around lights town, a place that L very publicly noted was likely to be near Kira, and while light is out some act of god (a fire, a gas explosion, a flood, ect.) ends up breaking his hiding spot for the deathnote and Mellow just happens to uncover it before light can get back. Likely? No. Narratively unsatisfying? Absolutely. Possible? Yes.
Or perhaps Nier is looking through Ls old cases and finds out something is related to the more supernatural elements of the deathnote? He might somehow be able to find Kira that way.
In both cases light would end up completely blindsided, smacked in the face with a fatal stroke of bad luck he had no chance to prepare for. If he takes up Ls mantle, though, there is a better chance of him knowing where the other investegators might be looking and how close they might be getting and other useful information.
The only possible downside is if he looses the contest of intellects, if he makes a mistake, if he gets *outsmarted*. And no one can outsmart him. Thats like trying out outsmart god.
I mean, he has already and *explicitly* called himself such.
So, yeah, I don't think it was really a mistake in terms of his strategy or him not thinking though things, I think it was his ego that made him convinced this was the best plan of action because he just assumed he'd be able to outwit anyone who came looking for him.
Babe wake up my Death Note obsession has returned
Me too
That question about Misa is a good one! Tbh I don’t know either 😅I think she’s written in… contradictory ways a lot of the time, so I see a lot of different reactions making sense for her. But imo an interesting response would be if she remained totally on Light’s side, didn’t question him and remained as faithful as always. But internally, she would be wracked with grief and maybe even guilt for not intervening. For the first time, whether she recognizes it consciously or not, she would feel like she can’t trust Light to share those feelings with or to connect with him in that grief. Like, she’s kept things from him before, but never in a way where she seemed terribly burdened by it iirc. I think it could theoretically drive a wedge in their relationship where they both feel like they have to pretend to be a lovey-dovey couple, Light wouldn’t even notice the difference because I don’t think he realizes that she’s like, a human being, and then at some point Misa would compartmentalize those feelings and it’d be back to business as usual (for real). But that’s just my instinctive take.
Always good to see a video from you!! I started watching it as soon as it came out, but only now did I remember I never actually finished it! Lucky me, it’s like I got *two* new episodes of Overanalyzing Death Note :]
Poor Sayu, she didn't deserve any of this was never the same after
Like Nunaly Lelouch’s sister was not the same after she witnessed something awful. I think on the stairs of her parent’s house if I remember correctly. Nunally was unable to walk and see after what she witnessed.
29:00 I imagine the name you feel is your own is the correct one if Misa thought of herself as “Misa Yagami” after getting married then that should work but if she still thought of herself as having her maiden name then that would probably still be the correct one.
He's back!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for you to tackle this half of rhe season. I know it's controversial, but I love the second half. (although that may be influenced by my knowledge of the manga)
So regarding your question on what Misa thinking, I think it’s unfortunate still “I must have done something wrong it’s my fault” as due to her past and the current world state; she never going question if Light is doing her wrong by snapping at her. Though I like to mention that Ryuk does care for Misa ever since she got the book back, or really more so to say Ryuk is done with Light at this point. As we see much later on he seem way more entertained by Matsuda and everyone else than he is with Light as well as just is generally more callous towards Light in this part. Personally can’t wait to see how you think Ryuk feels about Light at this point.
although people with aspd and aspd-adjacent traits/characteristics such as sociopathy and psychopathy may have a general lack of empathy towards people as a whole, they are still capable of distinguishing those closest to them from strangers. essentially light is perfectly capable of having an emotional reaction to his family members being hurt while also not even batting an eye at the other horrific things he's done to other people.
He didn't even NEED to kill his father or the other members of the kira task force, just imagine this guy who you don't know the real name to dropping dead, you know he kept his name as secret as ever, everyone is present... He just needs to convince them to stop the investigation, and later on, he can make the other members of the task force (outside his father), "disappear"
Nah, really what should have happened was Rem just kills everyone in the Task Force except Light and Misa when she killed L and Watari.
Rem should have killed light first because light is bad for Misa. @OG-ColorfulAbyss.
@@a1ace1991 true, but plot's gotta plot.
i feel like Near would've caught onto that eventually
@@isolabarge4196 with all of the members dead, Light could have faked his death. Making it look like Kira simply finally found out all of their names and faces, and killed them. It would be a very logical conclusion that if Kira got to L and Watari that he can get to the rest.
He had me thinking of over analyzing death note and code geass while he dropped off the planet my mind replays “ that’s what happens when your invaded by assholes “

Nice! I hope the renovations going well!
I love every episode of this I even rewatch it way too often to be proud
"Inpatience" is right
I've been itching for a new video
20:20 I think Misa may be genuinely shocked for a moment as she has been pretty clear from day one about killing anyone for Kira. As well as enduring several days of torture; I think she’s locked in. But she may be surprised that light had considered the option finally or that it bothered him so much. Or a combination of the two.

My guy remembered his password!
YOU FINALLY POSTED😭😭😭
Welcome back, and here's to a gun salute for your grandmother. Hopefully, things will stabilize at least.
Getting to what I've been planning to write, I was already wanting to make some points involving Light being hostile toward Misa in this episode, though before you even reach that point, I'm even more recognizing Light to be a glorified idiot, this time for not recognizing who he has by his side. And what you point out about Light's care toward his family does provide more material to point out.
Whether or not Light is a Complete Monster is ultimately YMMV, and I can point out that vanilla TV Tropes deems Light not killing Sayu to be Pragmatic Villainy, which I can see their point at the point where Light's morals inevitably deteriorate enough and his care for his family isn't necessarily redeeming enough. What I will stand by, however, is that Light is more pitiable than anything, something that his treatment of Misa does still test, but I have something to say about that first and foremost.
Light's treatment of Misa here is needlessly cold, there is no denying that. Shouting her down for trying to check up on him was absolutely excessive, and slapping the offer drink intended for him out of her hand was straight up mistreatment. If not necessarily as awful as the Joker toward Harley Quinn, or definitely not directly (though of course, Joker himself views Harl as a pawn anyway--oh, and high bar, I know), Light definitely let his rage get the better of him to an unhealthy degree. And yet, I'm remembering that Light, not without cause, DOES view Misa as a case of Stop Helping Me when she's acting on her own. He's so blinded by his Knight Templar efforts that he's ultimately not recognizing that people have different strengths and weaknesses, and not even getting into Light's hubris, Light straight up has underdeveloped and mishandled emotional intelligence. The bulk of his mind is focused on mechanical stuff, even if he's not as obvious about it as Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory, except Dexter ultimately shows better moments of empathy, some of HIS better moments involving him actively attempting to keep Dee Dee safe. Light isn't caring to understand the sort of points to what we see with Dexter protecting his Childish Older Sibling. He just wants his definition of the trains running on time. He brings his problems upon himself, but this can very well be the definition of his rigid personality simply being a problem to where he was needing therapy before he picked up the DN, not by all implications him being stuck as a Well Done Son Guy to a rigid in his own right father and an Education Mama. Ah, the dangers of encouraging "independence."
This isn't even getting into how Misa is interested in supporting Light, as you point out. I can safely say that she is recognizing this conflict of interests that Light is having, and wants to figure out what to do about the situation, even if it obviously is out of her hands. I'm reiterating this: "Light, you are an idiot!" He does a bad job of recognizing what he has, and it shows here. You also indirectly let me know that Light's poor regard of Misa absolutely CLASHES with his care for his family, however questionable that still can be. Okay, so Light is caring about family....but isn't that inevitably some case of tribalism? That's something Dragon Ball Super would come to see fit to call out actively, although I'd have to go into VERY active spoilers to mention what I'm talking about. Light Yagami, once again, is a cautionary tale, this time about the dangers of tribalism.
With Misa, even if we shouldn't soon forget about anything involving the Sakura TV incident and its surrounding murders and manipulations, she's at least loyal to Light to redeeming levels. Even if it's not what happens at the end of the series, Light and Misa permanently becoming Boxed Crooks would have been ideal closure, having them actually contribute to the health of society while making sure they're never again threats trying to force their Scare Em Straight viewpoint down people's throats with mass murder. Because I can be sure we can agree that neither of them are just murderers, although Gods do both of them make it hard to find evidence of their redeeming points in their overfocus on evasion of the legal system or, ironically, their very mission statement itself in its apathy.
There is one point that I can cover more actively to punctuate where I'm going with this, and that's the Savvy Guy Energetic Girl trope. It's worth noting that I did the trope workshop entry for that years ago, with a key part of my inspiration being a deviantArt piece that had Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends characters as Death Note characters, and I'm sure you could guess who Mac and Goo were respectively playing on the dA piece. Obviously, however, SGEG can be played in different ways, and you might be familiar with its involvement in the bulk of the Ace Attorney games.
Something I can point out is a game I've been wanting to make with its own story, where the protagonist, a hormone-driven lad wanting to hide as much, eventually first meets with a Manic Pixie Dream Girl by protecting her from a group of scumbags, resulting in the MPDG immediately being enamored with him. The protagonist obviously still avoids announcing his more...ambitious intent with somebody like the MPDG, who proceeds to actively show her trust in him, leaving him to privately wonder whether she's a Shedog In Sheep's Clothing or a Kindhearted Simpleton. When he gets proof that the former isn't a problem and the MPDG, in response to further protection toward her by the protagonist against the story's incredibly cruel and powerful Big Bad, soon after promises to offer him a "birthday present" for his conveniently timed birthday, the protagonist starts subtly hinting his real intent in concern for her welfare. You can probably guess whether or not the MPDG knows the truth from the start, something the protagonist is able to see proof of naturally right after his Hero's Frontier Step with a Heroic Sacrifice directly resulting in the heroes' triumph and that he only survives by chance, and suffice to say, they wouldn't have problems working things out at all from that point onward.
What I can point out is that I realize that the MPDG is a potential Magnificent Baddie, which would actually be perfect for her role by calling out careless imitation of her while still showcasing her merits clear as day, and very likely the only thing I would need to do for that beyond application would be having her enthusiastically encouraging child soldiers to come into battle with apparent disregard to their ages while incidentally directing them to trust the protagonist. What she is designed to be already is somebody who would even revel in her being a Genki Girl to the point where she would lampshade her Savvy Guy Energetic Girl relationships, something that would have material like the Eureka Moment trope. Her intelligence itself is a plot point and most of the other criteria is guaranteed to be covered as well.
I bring up this character concept to provide a compare-and-contrast with Misa. As we know, Misa is devoted to Light, knowing that Light is the dangerous, manipulative vigilante known as Kira. And Misa, like the MPDG I mentioned, is the persistent Genki Girl love interest for the involved crafty protagonist. But this is surface level. What's the key difference? Well, it's simple: Misa enables Light in willful ignorance, which can only lead to disaster; whereas the MPDG goes by actions that just so happen to spark her guy's conscience, and whether or not that was by her design to which she already has Rescue Romance written all over her face for a motive, she would inevitably be happy when her guy lives up to her trust and it leads to very welcome results.
When all is said and done, Light and Misa do have their ideas and points, but they are ultimately Deconstructions. Light thinks he knows best, and regardless of justifications like Misa being a case of Stop Helping Me, it leads to disaster. Misa makes herself into a glorified cheerleader for Light, and regardless of her support for Light being genuine, it leads to disaster. This has more to do with Death Note being more caring about involving deconstruction, but there's only so much that can be done other than take notes and see what can be done for reconstruction, because at least now we should have better understanding of things.

Finally caught up to present day. It's been nice seeing you really grow into your own through course of this series
Thanks for the compliment! I'm glad you've enjoyed the series so far!
i always thought it was that melo was heavily involved in the latin american drug trade. thats making him likley the most wealthy on the show. they likley land the plane somewhere in mexico as the USA wouldnt allow for random planes to be flying in the airspace (remember this came out not long after 911) plane jackings werea far more popular concept in media.
the reason why they have an underground bunker and packing heavy weaponry is well becasuse the cartel has that kinda stuff. its pretty outlandish way to take the story but like deathnote has always been pretty whacky.
Bingo. If they were landing in the California or Nevada desert, no detour would have been required as far back as Japan.
These are my favorite videos to listen to while drawing
Perfect timing, just finished watching DN for the 2nd time and started binging your videos lol
HES BACK
lets goooo best series has returneddddd
So this episode is one of the better of the timeskip episodes when compared to the manga, and follows it mostly.
Of note is why he would calmly declare it not a hijacking... because he is the pilot. Technically, the vehicle was in his control, and all he did was subdue the co-pilot that wasn't on board with the plan and declare a big threat... which, yeah, distinction without a difference, dude has just done a bunch of crimes and would probably still get slapped with hijacking charges (among others). And while what the crime organization has on him is left vague, in the manga it is also (somewhat) talked about as far as the organization doing the kidnapping and hijacking having a shockingly large reach and... well, as was shown, they have a lot of resources too. I'd imagine this is basically what's left of several crime syndicates that banded together after they all lost a lot of manpower to Kira. So it's basically a bunch of people who have a lifetime in crime that managed to evade Kira that now have MORE info on Kira to deal with that issue. Kinda a scary group, really. We don't need to know the specifics because the implied amount of power the organization has means it could be damn near anything. Either that or the pilot was always one of their members in the first place and still had a flawless record, which is also terrifying for different reasons. It really shows what crime would become in a post Kira world, either going away or escalating in stealth and severity to the point of matching Kira. Most of this is implied rather than openly stated, and in part could be why the last arc of Death Note is considered the weakest. It's not BAD but, well, we'll get there.
As for where they landed, most of the deserts of California are in the southern part of California near where LA and the like are. They probably went past LA, likely to the south, and landed in the deserts in the southeast of California, which is basically that huge bunch of deserts all clumped together in the Southwestern US. Given that commercial flights do include a safety margin of fuel, particularly for ocean crossings, a (relatively) short detour souteast of LA is probably doable. Either that or they aimed further south and landed in Baja California across the border, but that starts to stretch the level of reasonable detours. And yes, a plane could land in a desert and take back off because deserts are full of very flat land. That basically is why you want a runway, but sans runway, all you need is flat enough and long enough to safely stop moving or reach liftoff speed before hitting anything. It wouldn't be a FUN landing or takeoff, and probably would require the plan see some additional maintenance time, and could run the risk of breaking something, but we don't see that happen here so we have to assume that the pilot is good enough and the terrain clear enough to not brick the plane's landing. Given what's hidden here... yeah, it tracks that there'd be a spot that's good enough for a landing.
So what's hidden here can be inferred from where they are, which is the Southwestern deserts of the US which saw a lot of use for something very specific... above ground and underground nuclear testing. Yeah, I'm betting this was a former nuclear testing site, or at least a staging area for it, and has since been abandoned and then basically turned into a spot for criminals to do... well, stuff like this. In the manga, it is mentioned this facility has been used for similar trades in the past, so it's just following a line backwards in time as it gets more and more vague. Again, it's more inferred rather than stated. As for the leads, Mello is of course basically just telling everyone that he probably has guessed is listening in "get fucked lol", and Near is basically going "Huh, so they had an old nuclear facility to work with, that's a CLUE". Where Light and the NPA are going "AH WE'RE FUCKED!" So yeah, effectively this new crime group has possession of an old crime syndicate's location that was probably formally a nuclear testing site that for some reason was just left to rot in the desert.
That all being said, Light did have an out still after all of this, but it would have been BRUTAL.
He would have had to kill the entire NPA task force except for his father and sister, probably kill Misa as well (and take back the notebook entirely), then fake his death. Just full on disappear leaving a Kira coded 'suicide note'. This probably would have left Light in the lurch, and if anyone broadcast his name as the vanished task force member, he would probably just have his name written by the kidnappers "just in case". So not exactly much of an out, but it would have been his best chance to avoid the cavalcade of disaster laying in front of him.
As for Near... in the manga he theorizes that what happens would be the result if Mello had a spy in the SPK (which he did, and was shown in the manga). Right after he thinks that, he gets some nasty conformation of it. The way the anime handles that scene is weird. Also, the member of Near's team that stuck the gun to his head? That was the spy in the manga. And notably he was the only one shown to be taken out via a method like that instead of heart attack, implying Mello showed Near who his spy was at the last second... just to rub it in. Mello be petty.
And by THE spy, I mean the one relevant to this part. There's another, but we'll get there.
And yeah... Sidoh. Man, I'd say the anime did him dirty, but the manga and Ryuk did him dirty too. Just EVERYONE will do that guy dirty.
Amazing as always man. My condolences to you and your family ❤
yooooooooo again i completely forgot about you and again i am so happy to see new video
the GOAT is back missed your videos bruh
I LOVE these videos!!! I got so excited when I got the notification. 😊
The goat is back
Brilliant episode dude thank you! The prominent OST in this episode Kodoku (Solitude) is my favourite in the whole soundtrack :D
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I Have Been waiting For this like a blue moon.
THE RETURN OF THE KING 👑
I've been really enjoying these overanalyzing series. The formula is unique, nice dialogue too feels like you're talking with a friend about it lol. Since you seem to be covering very philosophical in depth thriller anime like Death Note and Code Geass, would you ever consider doing a Psycho Pass series? It shares similar traits to these two and I think it suits your style
Thank you I couldn’t sleep without you😭
I know I'm late - but I hope you ended up enjoying the video (and getting a good nights rest)!
A NEW VIDEO DROPPED, LETS GOOO🗣🗣🗣

YESSSS! THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS
Death note episode 28: me when waiting for one of your new videos (in all seriousness though, these videos are really high quality and while I would like for them to be posted more often I understand why that isn't the case, thank you for amazing content)
I’m glad you enjoy ‘em so much! I’m currently coming up with some solutions that’ll help with production speed, so more videos might be coming on a more consistent basis.
I’m actually working on the next video today.
But, regardless, I hope you end up enjoying this one!
i wonder if the guy they killed to test the notebook thought "ooh i wonder who theyre gonna kill to confirm it, veey exciting"
The man is alive!
Alive and kickin'!
I’ve been in bed all week with a big cold but this video cured me. 🙏
Welcome back! Read your post, sorry to hear things have been hard for you. Hope things improve for you!
Regarding the new name thing, far as we know the only time Light has failed to kill anybody was if they were using an alias or if their name was misspelled in the news. No other criteria was mentioned for the Death note failing to kill anybody. I find it very unlikely that nobody ever had their name changed during the 5 years Light has run as Kira and if that had happened, than L should have picked up on that but it's never mentioned. So I assume it works like this, the name you're given at birth obviously works but if your name changes due to say marriage or something like that, than that is your name as well. So the Death note recognizes and can kill you with either name, regardless of which one you write in the book.
Honey wake up new overanalyzing DEATHNOTE video dropped yeyyy🤍
The goat is back🎉
Light asking why it feels like he’s talking to L when bro’s name is also a letter. Those 5 years has made this man’s brain rot from the lack of stimulation from his dead boyfriend fr.
He’s backkkk
I really appreciate how you have some of the characters lip sync to what you're saying
Hope your doing well brother, losing someone can be tuff
Hope you’re enjoying parenthood, thx for the vid!!
Yesss I been waiting for this always good content
Thank-you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
OMG HE'S BACK
YO! HE BACK!
Lessss goooooo!
Shit dude 5 months for 51 minutes of gold, worth the wait imo.
It's been 2 months not 5 lol
20:54 Bro out here looking like Chris Redfield 😂
The weekend posted a pic of him and playboi carti as light and ryuk😭
Its pretty obvious the pilot wasn't "convinced" but rather was under the effects of the death note
I checked the manga. It wasn't even Light's doing since he's actually shocked in his thoughts (Chapter 64, 4th and 5th pages), and Mello's group didn't have any of the DNs at that point. The pilot was simply not under the DN's effects.
