Why can't we just get a Columbo anime?

>>279717456 (OP)
Light wouldn't last a week in this day and age

>supposedly a super genius
>obtain a way to kill people that leaves ZERO evidence
>get caught

>>279717734
What would be the point?
Anime is about being able to show things that are weird or unusual or difficult to act out.
Columbo was just bunch of people talking for whole episode.
Its not like there are dozen of "detective" anime with weird twist.
Detective is young boy? Detective is cute girl? Detective is a wizard? Detective is undead head?
All of those exist.

>>279717848
>>279717783
Honestly it'd be easy to not get caught in this day and age if you knew what you were doing with IT. You just have to obfuscate who you target, what (and whose) devices you use, and avoid obvious signifiers. There's not really any way to counteract the ability to delay killings by months or years, since that makes it much harder to track things down.
If you're doing it with more planning and more direction than "I'll kill all the criminals that appear on my local TV" it would not be that easy for L to find him.
You could say something like "oh I'll track down his searches online" but that's something you can work around by either relying on a mix of public devices like library PCs, VPN, targeting only figures that would be popular enough for everyone to know, lurking websites where they just discuss the news internationally and getting lost in the crowd there, and so on.

>>279717947
>Honestly it'd be easy to not get caught in this day and age if you knew what you were doing with IT
If would've been extremely easy for Light to not get caught if he wasn't such an impulsive, prideful shit. If he had just ignored L, didn't rise to his provocation and expanded his killings to beyond just local news he would've never, ever been caught.

Are the Milky Holmes better detectives than him?

>>279717947
>>279717982
Light wanted to do more than just killing random criminals here and there

>>279717947
It's easier than ever to track someone like Light today. Do you really think the powers that be would just sit back constrained by the """legality""" of VPNs or other obfuscation software? The entire surveillance apparatus of the world would be directed towards finding this disruptive killer. Light would stand no chance in today's world.

>>279718033
He should have been watching international news and killed several high profile criminals from all over the world at the same time. People would've noticed that. Instead he did the dumbest things imaginable.

>>279717848
hubris
he thought he was god and decided he had to find L and kill him with the death note. had he left L's challenge unanswered and ignored the fbi agents he would've won. his biggest mistake was letting L know that he had connections with the tokyo police, he pointlessly narrowed the circle down to very few people

>>279718099
You could make the whole system crumble with a few pages
Catching you would be the least of their problems

>>279717866
>Columbo was just bunch of people talking for whole episode.
What is Bakemonogatari?

>>279717866
Something with the format of Columbo would be quite watchable provided the story arcs were given sufficient run time, even if there is no particular reason it for it to be anime (and there are plenty of grounded anime out there).

>>279717456 (OP)
looks like a more accurate white yagami than the netflix "adaption"

>>279717456 (OP)
Reminds me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL-ihLLz3R0

>>279717734
We can't?

>>279718099
Yeah, if you want to pull a Light and kill enough people to deter crime while making a name for yourself then you're more or less fucked, but if you just kill extremely well known people once every few months to years via accidents and diseases then there's no way anyone will ever track you down.

>>279719191
Just go with heart attacks and people will blame the vax lol.

>>279718212
You're underestimating modern surveillance. Death Note is a popular anime in this world and surveillance algorithms wouldn't miss this correlation. The nature of these supernatural deaths would be quickly linked to this fictional weapon. After that, it would be just a matter of monitoring internet searches. Anyone who matters would coordinate in this effort.

>>279717456 (OP)
>Yes? What else can I help you with, sir?

>>279717848
>>279718208
Wrong. Misa would eventually still have fucked up and Light would be forced to save her by Rem. It's her fuckup from before he even met her that caused all the bullshit that forced him to reveal the death note itself, as well as not knowing the detail about other DN users with shinigami eyes not being able to see his lifespan, which enabled Misa to find Light. At worst Light's emergency measure would be triggered and his DN go up in flames.

Japs seem to enjoy columbo, it wouldn't be the strangest western property to get an anime.

>>279717947
>Honestly it'd be easy to not get caught in this day and age if you knew what you were doing with IT
If anything I'd imagine it would be harder.
If the powers that be really want you, they've got backdoor methods to find you, and then if they even bother getting you through an official arrest, they'll fabricate the reason they tracked you down, like a meta-gamer in an RP setting.

They've got call these cameras around you, all these ways to track your internet usage proxy or not, ways to narrow down your profile.
I'd actually love to see a smartly written Death Note 2 that was a bit sci-fi in nature.

>>279722582
NTA I have a feeling that the infrastructure is way overblown and assuming you were doing something supernatural like the shit in Death Note, with the simplest opsec it would be almost impossible to track you down. What would really happen is what happens every time a government has total control and authorities aren't competent enough to get a result: they find someone to arrest and call it a day. When Kira kills again, they say it's an imitator. And they arrest that one too. In the real world nobody would be as intelligent as L and Light wouldn't have to be that intelligent either. Authorities are sloppy. Tracking and data collecting is that powerful because normalniggers are logged into everything with google and generally act like the fucking subhuman cattle they are. Terrorists never get caught even though they were "known to the authorities". Of course you can assume that it's all an inside job but I feel that the cutting edge technology doesn't do shit. Even trials for murder are more about lawyer bullshit than collecting hard data with sci-fi technology. This world is not only shit, it's also boring.

>>279719091

also this

>>279717947
I do think the powers-that-be COULD catch you, but only if they actually knew what do look for. You can kill in any possible manner, from any location, up to 23 days after writing the name. So there's a lot of ways to obfuscate yourself.
If every world leader dropped dead from simultaneous heart attacks right now, would the authorities' first instinct really be to track down people's internet usage and find everyone who googled "world leaders" within the past 23 days?
That's an absurd leap in logic that no human in real life would ever actually make.

>>279719716
Nah women just cannot pull off the bumbling act and have it be sold the same way. People would react too differently to a woman trying it.
Female Columbo is an impossibility

>>279719091
He got that from us. He read our threads

>>279722582
>>279723188
Do you really need a computer? Just buy a newspaper every now and then.

>>279717848
All he had to do was space out his killings and not have every single person die of a heart attack. He just got lazy.

>>279718984
>>279717734
Problem is it's hard to write good Columbo episodes. You can see a huge difference from the 60-70s NBC series and the ABC produced episodes in the 80s.

The later was series didn't have the writing talent.

>>279717734
What does that mean?
Like adapting the old episode or making new ones?
One option seems pointless and the other precarious.

>>279722582
This is just looking at things on paper, but if you're thinking far ahead of time and just targeting things that everybody would know, or stuff you learn about through osmosis instead of actively searching for it like a retard you're not getting caught up by an algorithm that can match you together with a couple of thousand with a similar search history.
And again, just use different devices, physical media like newspapers and stuff that feeds you info through basically automatic algorithms (like say just checking a true crime channel on youtube, targeting a few of them years apart and then leaving to target some other people) then chances are nobody will even catch on.

>>279725509
Yeah but what about new ones but good

>>279725628
Well sure but then why isn't all media good?

>>279725615
>>279724574
Oh and the 23-day window is irrelevant. You can literally just plan around it. Write down death dates, write down the names separately. Leave them be for a long time, then write them down in the Death Note when you think the wait time has expired. Maybe it's not as convenient but it's effectively no different. And if you can't write down the dates ahead of time just do it anyway on the paper you're using.
Once you're through with your written-down names? Burn the paper to ash and nobody will ever know.

>>279718713
>What is Bakemonogatari?
Not as good as Columbo, that's for sure.

Not lazy, just narcissistic. He wanted everyone to know about Kira's existence and to fear him.

>thank you for the tour, your school is very nice
>just one more thing: Miss Shinomiya and Mr Shirogane you clearly like each other very much, you should not hide your feelings

>>279717848
>>279717947
All he had to do was ignore the obviously bait news broadcast.

>>279727135
I see people always say this but the thing is Light was too prideful to do so so that's a nonargument.

>>279725211
You think that's not able to be easily isolated, too?
You're only killing from newspapers shown in a specific region?

>>279728408
Airports sell international newspapers. It's stupid easy to not get caught with the Death Note, Light is just a fucking moron.

>>279727135
Not really, L still had more than enough circumstancial evidence to determine that Kira operates in Kanto and is probably a student based on the people he killed and the times at which they were killed. The only new information Kira really gave away is that he's impulsive and that there's some people he can't kill.
What REALLY sealed Light's fate is when he stupidly allowed L to know he had access to police information. I get that he wanted to make L and the police mistrust each other, but all that did was narrow down L's pool of suspects from millions of student in Kanto, to a couple hundreds of students related to people involved in the investigation. That was truly the dumbest thing Kira did in the entire Manga.

>>279727135
Would the news broadcast thing even work in the age of the internet? Kira could hypothetically be anywhere in the world and find out about the L broadcast from the internet. Even for when the Manga was published, it wouldn't really prove that Kira lives in Kanto.

>>279728648
>The only new information Kira really gave away is that he's impulsive and that there's some people he can't kill.
That, and prove that Kira is 100% real and can kill people without being physically present, even L was surprised about that and wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

>>279727135
>All he had to do was ignore the obviously bait
well I'm not saying it's impossible but it's really hard for most people here

>>279718713
>What is Bakemonogatari?
according to ratings nobody watched it so nobody knows

>>279728648
This. I genuinely can't think of any way that L could have narrowed in on Light as Kira if it weren't for that.

>>279717734
We got a Japanese live action in Furuhata Ninzaburou, but it's not as good as Columbo

>>279728856
I suppose that Light would have inevitably tried to make contact with Misa and Misa would have found him the same way, and since Misa getting caught was inevitable because she's an idiot, Light would end up being a suspect as well.

>>279728648
>The only new information Kira really gave away
Well, no. Because the broadcast was limited to that region, when he killed L despite knowing that L had never showed his face before, he confirmed that he was in Kanto as well as the fact that he needed to see someone's face to kill. That was a gigantic fuckup and it was all just because he got retarded and took the obvious bait broadcast. It was also slightly out of character for him because it was obviously a more he made out of pride rather than cold autistic calculation

>>279724943
What if she's an alcoholic?

It's kinda funny that killing a notable world leader with a Death Note would be easier than ever, with most of them appearing on global news daily

>>279728648
L literally said that the broadcasts were his last attempt to convince the feds Kira was real and not just some mysterious illness

>>279726966
That's Poirot line

>>279727135
What if he had written down something along the lines of "Lind L. Taylor will die of a heart attack in a week" since he was going to be executed that day regardless?

>>279729092
NTA, but I think the Lind L. Tailor incident was actually a worse mistake by L than by Light. If L didn't want to publicly humiliate Kira and instead had let Kira with the belief that he won against L by killing Lind L. Tailor, he could have dealt with an overconfident careless Kira and would have probably been able to catch him surprisingly easily. But because of this incident Light started being much more meticulous up to the point he reached his mental peak that he never again managed to reach after L's death. Light at his best would have probably been able to win against Near as well as he would have prepared several contingency plans in this state instead of gambling on winning that one confrontation while relying on Mikami not fucking things up.

>>279722011
They have their own Columbo called Furuhata Ninzaburou.

>>279729206
Unnecessary, part of Columbo's charm is that he doesn't have any drug or alcohol problems.

>>279729372
Now I feel a bit dumb for not thinking about this. You are smarter than both of the smartest people in the show.

>>279717734
Are there any good murder mystery anime shows? I love the old classics, like poirot.

>>279724943
Women can play dumb, but not the same way men can.
The female equivalent of Columbo would have her acting like a vapid bimbo.
Which I guess is the point you're making. It would be a totally different story.

Angel Cop

>>279730394
>Women can play dumb, but not the same way men can.
I agree with this but I disagree that Columbo comes across as particularly dumb or bumbling. He comes across as non-threatening, which a woman could pretty easily do. Someone like Marge from Fargo. It wouldn't be one to one of course, but I don't think it's impossible.

>>279717456 (OP)
>one more
how many one mores

>>279732261
>Someone like Marge from Fargo
Oh you betcha! She really does come across like a bit of a bumbling hick from nowheresville, except she basically single-handedly solves the case. She sees right through William H Macy's character and shoots Peter Stormare in the leg.

>>279717866
>Columbo was just bunch of people talking for whole episode.
What is Monogatari?
What is Hyouka?
What is Shoushimin?

>>279728903
Damn I've go to watch this some time.

>>279717866
Sure if you completely miss the times he was
>probing for clues by acting lost or just curious
>actively asking questions the killer would've known the answers
>Looking for clues in every nook and cranny
The best parts are when he knows exactly who is the killer and plants some idea in their head to blow their cover right in their face

>>279729372
True but the autistic feud between L and Kira is what led Light to giving away clues like him having access to police information or taunting him with the prisoner's death messages.

>>279719413
Less relevant for Light's case but I think a lot of murder mysteries underestimate modern forensics as well. I want one that dives into wizardry like locating where the victim has previously been based on the chemistry of soil from one of their boots or narrowing down potential suspects based on pollen found at the crime scene.

>>279727135
Has anyone got a link to that cryptography writeup that argued that accessing the police database was light's biggest blunder in terms of lost anonymity.
I remember enjoying reading it a while ago but never saved a link.

>>279725289
Didn't Death Note not let you kill people using the same method twice?

>>279733627
I don't see why not. There are a thousand ways you could alter "shanked to death in prison cell" without duplicating it even if there was such a rule.

>>279733580
https://gwern.net/death-note-anonymity

I like death note, but the whole cat and mouse shit was so fucking stupid it's not even funny. You really can tell this story was written by some average dude trying to write smart characters because it's just not compelling in the slightest.

if jotaro is a columbo fan instead of poirot there must be a reason.

>>279728648
>>279729092
>>279729372
>>279733084
It was a mistake from L to not consider that Kira could share his powers or that maybe there were more than one kira at the beginning. Kek it would be checkmate the moment he revealed his face to Light. He didnt even consider that maybe someone who can see the names could exist and help kira until Misa. Imagine if light had Misa since the beginning as a trump card? But yeah I guess plot reasons like the US not nuking japan out of existence.
But realistic speaking death note could have end when
>L finds kira is in kanto and the army makes a mega operation
>L finds Light is kira because the police and pember incident
>L finds Misa fingerprints in the tapes and confirms that they both are Kira and Second Kira
>THE FUCKING SHINIGAMI killing L out of fear of him testing the rule lol
I mean he could have killed him when the time was over only to "comfirm" the fake rule but that just made things sus af. Holy shit L lost because the universe was sucking light's cock, even the investigation team wont shut up about how good light is.

The problem with these threads is that firstly there's some magical autist detective like L IRL and secondly assuming that everyone in the world knows about Death Note the fictional series.
A fairer assumption would be to assume neither of these things exists IRL. Would someone with the Death Note get caught IRL like that? No.

>>279733811
That's the one, thanks anon.

>>279734366
I think people underestimate how surveilled we are. Light would have one of his "god of the new world" speeches, his phone would pick it up, and he'd be arrested the next day.

>>279719716
Not so long ago my anon

>>279734010
David Suchet's Poirot started airing while he was in Egypt and he doesn't seem the type to have read the books.

>>279717684
Elf?

It's easy not to get caught but it's boring not to let people realize there's someone behind the deaths.
I would start by broadcasting a heart attack, having the guy say "X is next" and then have X die not before saying "Y and Z are next" and start communicating what I want to the world with each death, including warnings to powerful people.

Wonder if after some point they'd be more scared of Kira than their handlers in the shadows, or even broadcast to the world their identities for Kira. That'd be funny and chaotic

>>279719191
What if you kill them all at once?

>>279729713
Not anime, but you should check out the Kosuke Kindaichi books and some of their movies adaptations.

>>279735969
that's me when eating siren pussy

>>279734010
Or it's just because Columbo was insanely popular in Japan so that would be the easiest frame of reference for a teenager(or rather, a teenager written by an adult in the 80s/90s). It was a popular show on TV so that's where Jotaro derived his deductive abilities from.

>>279734077
>>L finds Misa fingerprints in the tapes
Even in canon, this was a smoking gun.
Misa sent tapes that accurately predicted deaths, proving she had insider Kira information.
This means that, bare minimum, she was an ally of Kira, but more likely was the 2nd Kira. This should have gotten her locked up, and if she was locked up, then a ton of Light's plans fall apart from there.

>>279726184
Conan is too absurd to be Columbo. Also, the key to Columbo is he's basically the "antagonist" in all the stories. The focus is on the murderer, from their crime and the cover up opening the episode, to Columbo showing up out of nowhere to menace them.

Another key is the somewhat cryptic nature of Columbo. Aside from very obviously playing the fool, but also never actually giving up the ghost no matter how obvious it becomes, Columbo plays the cliche of the "lone" detective to the hilt. But if you're paying attention, you'll notice he frequently has other officers directly following his orders and some of the stuff he does requires almost the entire department, and their leaders, on board. He's actually working with a bunch of people all the time, and with the blessing of his superiors, but pretends to be on his lonesome to put the targets on the back foot.

Conan, in contrast, is very "lone" detective focused, sometimes with side kicks. It's more in the vein of Sherlock, with crazy shit having happened and the tension is in unraveling it. Columbo is almost the opposite: We know almost exactly what happened, the fun is in seeing Columbo slowly peel back the perpetrator's defenses and alibis.

>>279728903
I like the one where he just harasses some guy without even knowing about the murders.

>>279730394
>Columbo but starring a huge-breasted gyaru girl in extremely skimpy outfits
Yeah, i'd watch that.

>>279734716
>I think people underestimate how surveilled we are.
Anyone as intelligent as Light would practice some internet hygiene and opsec. You are suveilled if you are a dumb nigger who opts into it. You have a shooting a week in the USA and nobody gets caught on time lol

>>279738472
>Anyone as intelligent as Light would practice some internet hygiene and opsec
I think the series constantly proves to you that he does absolutely none of that until he absolutely has to.
Before the Death Note Light was the average "disaffected smart kid with lots of expectations" that ends up burning out and becoming a bum at some point, he wouldn't have had 7 proxies protecting his precious PC containing...nothing, because he had no hobbies or interests.

>>279717848
He's just an A student and smarter than normal cops and detectives. He wouldn't even have made it this far without access to his father's database or conveniently meeting his brainwashed lackeys at the perfect time. And still fucked it up because of his god complex when the luck ran out.

Japs do not understand Columbo, their own version shows this, it is closer to Sherlock than actual Columbo. It's a cultural thing, they cannot have someone acting like him turn the tables on someone socially higher standing.

>>279734077
Yeah, for some reason L immediately assumed that Kira was an individual instead of the more logical assumption that it is a group.

>>279739367
I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. Crime fiction in Japan has people of socially higher standing taken down all the time. If someone of socially higher standing commits a serious crime like murder, it is a shamefur dispray and they are considered to no longer be deserving of their standing.
Even killing in self-defense is something you will get ostracized for. Sion's backstory in SAO made me see just how different Japan's views on this are.

>>279717456 (OP)
Mon amie! Mr. Yagami, you say this... uuhhhh... book is responsible for the murders oui?
Pardon, you appear to have some ink on your hands, permit that I offer you a handkerchief.

>>279739467
No, the issue is that Columbo pretends to be low status. >>279728903 this is a the closest they have and the detective is just a smug asshole and it feels like it's less about someone intelligent tricking the criminal into revealing themselves.

>>279739565
I like that he is not a justice fag and sometimes lets the culprit go if thinks its moral.

>>279739586
Pretending to be of a lower status for the greater good isn't that unheard of. There was a long-running series called "The Unfettered Shogun" about the fucking Shogun leaving the palace incognito to go fight against corrupt officials.

>>279717866
It's ironic that modern anime is completely devoid of creativity, then. It's just the same gay shit every time, and it's not even animated well, which defeats the purpose of the format.

>>279719716
Wow, you're a fucking faggot.

>>279717848
Why do people keep forgetting the decider was Light's underling overstepping when they got baited and then getting shot because some passive fag lost his shit?

>>279739741
anon, if he wasn't so adamant in killing L, he was never going to be even close to be caught. The very idea of the DN is just a fantasy. The only one getting caught was going to be Misa, especially if light never had any meeting with her, and even going that way, there is no way to search every single kanto house to find the DN

>>279739832
to be fair if the situation got too boring, Ryuk could have killed light and searched for another random guy

>>279724943
Yeah but anon can't go around calling Peter Falk his waifu.

>>279739586
Honestly I mostly stuck with the show because Furuhata is an asshole and it's kinda funny.

>>279724943
What about a bimbo? Haven't watched it but there's some American crime show where the main character was some bimbo janitor who happened to solve a case for the detectives one night and then was brought in as a special consultant. She's super vapid and shallow in her wants and desires but is pretty good at putting 2 and 2 together.

>>279729092
"somewhere" in kanto is not as big as you think, because it can "spoil". let's say L was wrong about it being a solo student, what would prevent kira from escaping to a different region? and the longer the investigation goes the less useful the kanto trail is due to that.
what if kira just happened to be there on holiday for whatever reason?

>>279738472
nobody gets caught because it helps the elites. you bet if they caught whiff of a supernatural murder weapon they'll sic their best glowies to figure out who has it and seize it

>>279726966
kek

>>279740174
Oh yeah, High Potential. It's fun enough if you're missing cable TV detective shows like Monk.

>>279740076
i do like how ultimately everything was in the hands of a bored god. if light wasn't as entertaining ryuk could've just killed him and hauled the note to someone else. or maybe if kira lost he would just pick another guy for L to find.
hell, eventually ryuk may have just started fucking with L for shits and giggles.

there really wasn't a victory for anyone from the get go

First of all I wouldn't even kill people in the present. I'd gather info and write all the killings to happen someday in the future. In fact, all of them would happen the same day, a few years in the future.

Bullshit. He's a genius criminal profiler. He would've pegged who Light was based on Kira's actions.

>>279750003
>Didn't realize who the real culprit was until the very end after it was too late

>>279740022
Well, sure, but even if they're all possible, the point is that they're still crazy ridiculous "but how could it have happened?" puzzles that become the focus of the detective-ing. Colombo doesn't really do that. The usual process is Colombo's increasingly unnerving investigation prompts the perpetrator to start spiraling and giving themselves away, often giving Colombo more ammunition.

>>279747031
Sissel trying to solve the case would be neat. Going 4 minutes before someone's death would be pretty useless in most cases, but the moment he did so for someone close to Light it'd be pretty obvious. Especially if it was Ray Penber or double especially for his wife.

What if you used something like TOR?

>>279747031
I don't watch westernshit

>>279750442
Ironically one of TOR's weaknesses is that if you had global collaboration you can still track who's doing what. If the USA, China, and India agreed to work together on the Kira case (which happened somewhat in the series proper with there being international agents pursuing Kira at first) it'd be easy to track that traffic back to Light. And due to the false sense of security, his traffic would be very Kira-identifiable.

>>279747031
What exactly is the logic over whether or not a character can intuit the mechanics of the Death Note?

>>279751355
I'd imagine a combination of how well they could figure out that Kira needs a face and full legal name to kill along with how open they are to magical thinking and accepting there is a magical notebook that does this. The other axis is just if they can find out if Light is Kira, regardless of if they figure out the book at all.

>>279730394

wanting people to know Kira is real and the god of the new world is not the same as "UHM ACTUALLY HE WANTED TO GET CAUGHT AND KILLED AND HUMILIATED"
That's it, you can go shitting your diaper in the corner now

>>279764660
He still could have become a god without being easily baited and caught

>>279764660
Correct, but what Light wanted to do is, indeed, completely impossible today.

You can argue all you want about whether you can use the death note stealthily or not (and the answer is obviously yes it just depends on how much you can disguise your kills as accidents/killings), but you absolutely can't flaunt your kills as divine smites, elevate yourself as a god and expect to get away with it in 2025.

To the /g/ autists

What could the government possibly do if the population, in Kira's support, started accessing news sources with the names/pictures of criminals en masse, with the explicit purpose of helping camouflage the real Kira among the thousands of IPs accessing these websites?

If Light was literally the only person accessing these websites in a "Kira pattern" yes, he would easily be caught. But you are not considering that so many people would support him and help him get away with it, it's not even funny. The bar for being killed by the Death Note is very high, it's basically "newsworthy criminal", 99.999% of the population can safely support him without any fears. And the government has no ways of distinguishing the real Kira from millions of people pretending to be him online.

>>279764768
except you can
just read the most popular news sites, watch the most popular news channels, use that to choose targets, delay your kills by a few days to a week, and blend into the hundreds of millions of people who are indistinguishable from you
you could even make the target explode in a geyser of blood every time to make it obviously a smiting and it would be impossible to catch you

>>279764821
Problem is when you access the news sites, then you access the wikipedia list of the most wanted terrorists, then you access the russian government member list, then you access the list of the top 10 democrat politicians, all in quick succession, and they die 1 week later.

The only way to get away with this is to start with low time criminals until you build a popular support like >>279764808 said. When people start covering for you, go nuts.

>>279730394
I don't know why you're all talking about this as a hypothetical. They tried it in 1979 and it was an unmitigated disaster.

There is so much shit Kira could do. The death note has a lot of potential that the author never tapped into. For instance light could control the CIA director into doing away with all the backdoors or even using it to Kira's advantage by dumping their full data into a source and instructing the world to open it. Then Light makes a copy of it and gets millions of people to kill over the next several years. It's so easy to counter the government when you have full control over every person with a name and a photo.

Once you've made that conceit, you've doomed yourself to capture, because the only way to maintain the certainty that GOD is real is to prove it. You can't have Light's god being believed in if it's some plausibly deniable rumor that people give up because there's not enough evidence to declare a divine intelligence. Light's hubris and need to reign on top of the world IS the inevitability that created his downfall.

Is there really no extra death note content? I read that short epilogue where the guy sells the death note to trump, but otherwise, how is there not like 12 different spinoff series about death note, it's such an interesting concept.

No, I'm not ready a shitty novel.

why are all these weebs seething in my colombo thread

I feel like Light's biggest mistake was not completely having rem/misa under his thumb at all times. He should have convinced her to be her live in slave. He not only chased out an extremely useful tool, he let free a loose end who is a bit stupid.

You can prove that something exists without giving away enough information that the authorities can arrest you, dumbass. The latter is not a consequence of the former. Your angry meltdown in this thread is entertaining, though, I'll give you that.

>>279745950
That would be the only smart move.
If you start killing people (criminal or otherwise) piecemeal then eventually everyone is going to figure out staying anonymous is the only path to safety, and would adjusts their behaviors for it.
The fact L is the only character that ever acts in an anonymous capacity only shows how hacky the writing is.

I haven't read death note in a while, but how do you kill someone with the book if they share the same name? They must be millions of John Smiths out there. How do I kill a specific John Smith. In minecraft, of course.

Are there that many detectives or mystery solvers in anime?

Mao Mao: intuit, not solve
The Hyouka gang: not intuit, not solve
Syd Craft: intuit, solve
Twilight: not intuit, solve (with Anya's help)
Yor: not intuit, not solve
Haruhi's gang: intuit, solve
CCS: intuit, solve (probably all magical girls could do it)

>>279747031
So the ones that can intuit are the ones that had contact with the supernatural or are out of touch with reality.
And solving the case depends on how cool they are.

>>279717734

Are you imagining these characters in Death Note's world or Kira in their worlds? With how much surveillance data Motoko has access to she would quickly pinpoint Light from his patterns, but I guess she might struggle with the lower technology and incompetent allies she would have as a Death Note character.

>>279766387
In Sam & Max's case, I think Max would have a pretty decent chance of intuiting the Death Note's mechanics, so I think their original placement was fairer.

>>279766387
How would the Morioh gang not intuit the mechanics of the Death Note? Intuiting how bizarre abilities work is a JoJo character's specialty.

The main issue with outing kira is making the connection that these deaths are somehow the work of a magic wizard. From then on it's trivial and a 10 year old could do it since Light made no real effort of hiding himself. If you don't make that connection you cannot solve the kira case and you'll be going around in circles. Most of the character in the left bottom box could not solve the case due to either not being schizo enough or not being used to the supernatural.

Realistically you would just need one of the names among the 0.01% and imagine the merchant face when you write it down. The mode of death is that he compiles all the photos of the private yacht and island parties with all names written down on top of each face, and all relevant facts connected (for flavor) into a zip archive, then uploads it on a litterbox set to expire in 30 minutes, then sets his computer on fire and then himself. You specify the URL name in the text. You go to the URL and download the file before it self-destructs. You now know the names and faces of a bunch of Hollywood pedos and other crooks and go medieval on them. All these people know each other or sit a couple degrees of acquaintance away, so you could quickly destroy every single one of them across the world by repeating this a couple times. Repeat this for the heads of organized crime. Light was retarded for targeting petty criminals instead of clearing all the biggest fish first. It would also have kept a lower profile because the law would've thought of organizations targeting powerful people rather than something supernatural for way too long to do anything about it.

>>279763904
The reason is that you actually have to be smart to write a good mystery. One of the best things about Death Note is that Light and L are smart guys written by a smart guy, they actually get big brain moments instead of everyone else holding the retard ball when it's their time to shine.

>>279777575
Not even that. Literally just write every death down as an accident. That is by far the most broken ability the death note has, because it's so fucking vague. You don't even need to write down the specific type of accident, you can just write "accident" and it works. Either through some rube-goldberg shit, a traffic collision, or the victim straight up just tripping over their own legs and breaking their neck.
Completely untraceable.

>>279777742
I might get caught because I'd get creative with the deaths and someone smart enough would see a pattern. There's no way I would hate someone intensely enough to write his name into the Death Note, and at the same time have him die of something lame like a heart attack. I'd create an insanely sadistic story every time, to make sure that person is completely and utterly broken by the time he dies. I think you can make so that something happens to family and other dear ones as a contingency if you are clever with the mechanics. I have no interest in killing a simple criminal with a heart attack. I think I'd write only a few people in but the deaths would be so brutal that someone with L tier intelligence might make a connection.

I like to imagine heavy as a mega tit loli instead of a smug loli
I'm also in doubt as to whether I should declare spy, scout or sniper as the smug loli
Maybe scout (scunt in mind) is mesugaki, sniper is perverted loli (jarate) and spy is undercover cop loli

>>279778125

>>279778401
Obviously you'd need to narrow things down in creative ways to even have a chance of catching whoever does it. So people obviously focus on the ways that could even be feasibly done. The issue is that someone who's prepared can sidestep those things, meaning that you'd have to be either ignorant or arrogant to get caught even with modern surveillance at its best.

>>279779689
Freeza is pretty easy to spot his crimes.
It just lacks a police force that can deal with him.

Serious question, can you use the Death Note to cuck someone like that?
Like if you write that someone commits suicide after walking in on his wife with another man, can you also brainwash his wife into cheating on him?
Can you specify that the cheating results in a successful pregnancy, or would the Shinigami King bitch-slap your ass for trying to create life with the Death Note?

>>279783876
If something that isn't possible or feasible is written in the note, the victim just dies of a heart attack instead.
And you can't control people whose names aren't written on the note.

>>279784362
Not my thing, but since the control elements of the death note have always been of interest to me... You could probably work around it by saying the wife dies during childbirth after she started having an affair (and stopped having sex with her husband if you want to be extra cruel and try to ensure he was actually cucked and not just cheated on), right? I think that might sidestep the 23 day rule as you can with some diseases. Could you include a time for her to be caught in the act in her entry as well then enter the husband's suicide as some time after? Nothing impossible there, I think it's just a matter of how much say you get when death doesn't occur within 23 days.

>>279784362
>And you can't control people whose names aren't written on the note.
Nothing against the rules with using the guy you're killing to rape his own family before offing himself. Death where the perp is shot to death after committing a violent crime would be impossible if Shinigami rules didn't allow them. It would be boring if no Shinigami were a bit sadistic.

>>279747031
There's an old Polish proverb that says, “It’s harder for the spider to catch the fly, than for the fly to catch the horse.”

>>279746226
Columbo isn't a murder mystery. Every episode opens with the viewer literally seeing exactly how the murder and crime goes down. Columbo is a more like a slasher film but the criminals are the ones increasingly panicked and cornered by the man who seems to be around every corner.

>>279766387

Nah, that's just blatantly untrue. The Japanese had Columbo on Blu-ray long before anybody else, and there's a statue of Columbo in Budapest of all places.

>>279785698
just watch it while you're doing other things. that's how it was intended, some comfy, slow detective stuff. it's not some tight series with some big story or characters.

Mainly how much belief they have in the supernatural and uncanny

>>279777742
Light's goal wasn't to personally kill every evildoer on the fucking planet, he wanted it to be clear that the criminals were dying through "divine retribution" so the rest would be intimidated, that's why he spent most of his time killing convicted criminals who were on the news even though this did nothing to decrease crime or bring justice besides terrifying the rest.

>>279775126
He could feel a lot of things. When Ryuk is watching him, when Ryuk and Light are talking, when a new victim has died and so on. It all depends on Half Light and Shivers, mostly at least.

>>279730394
Poker Face is a pretty good attempt at a female Columbo. The director's a fucking hack who doesn't understand the point of Columbo at all, but the actor is good.

I liked it when the new Monogatari season referenced this.

Batman would solve it by the end of the day.

>muh government surveillance
governments aren't going to shift 10 billion search histories to find the one guy whose searches line up exactly 1 minute before a publicly known criminal dies via supernatural causes. this is also easily overcome by just regularly reading/watching the local news or following a bunch of news outlets on social media. Light was retarded for not focusing on high profile criminals and only sticking to one region in Japan. he should have introduced himself as Kira by making some random dictator or criminal politician go on live TV and recite a statement before dying of a stroke. dumb retard should have gotten creative with the notebook.

>>279730394
Poker Face and Apothecary Diaries were pretty good attempts.

There's also Dinner Table Detective, but the MC actually IS stupid.

>>279771651
would the deathnote actually work on robocop?

Monk could solve the case just from reading an article about one of the mysterious deaths.

>>279797355
If you specified a plausible death, yeah.
If you didn't, because what you wrote is impossible or you just wrote the name, then the default heart attack wouldn't work, at which point the Shinigami King may just make up a new rule, depending on which outcome is more entertaining.

>>279717456 (OP)
>Mr.Reese. The Machine gave us a new number

>>279797981
Would the machine give Light's number, or the number of someone whose name was highly likely to be written in the Death Note soon?

>>279797962
Alex Murphy is already dead though.

>>279798047
I remember there was some episode that happened in an island where the Machine gave numbers of both the perpetrator and the victims. So probably both

>>279730724
Skyler was pretty powerful when she got into it, but Kim was even scarier.

>>279769981
The culprit had multiple possible tries for that anyway. And it wasn't even the real trick, the real trick was that the victim was actually alive (but drugged) and she subtly killed him in front of everyone

>>279727135
It would've delayed it sure, but Light had only targeted Japanese criminals so L already knew he was somewhere in Japan.

I fucking love Kogoro Mouri

>>279724574
>If every world leader dropped dead from simultaneous heart attacks right now, would the authorities' first instinct really be to track down people's internet usage and find everyone who googled "world leaders" within the past 23 days?
>That's an absurd leap in logic that no human in real life would ever actually make.
No, but realistically speaking, if Kira happened to the world, there would be a few steps:
>1. Is this supernatural? is this God?
>2. Wait... Only some people die, like almost no one dies in Africa
>3. Hey... People who aren't broadcasted, or people with badly spelled names survive. It definitely has something to do with names and faces broadcasted in Japanese news and possibly other high profile news (eg: US)
>4. I guess there is a human culprit that watches the news and uses names/faces to kill, as stupid as it sounds. Now we can crunch logs from all over the world and automate a search for this to get the most likely suspects

>>279747031
This picture is still dumb, I know the point is "rational" intelligence vs intuition but intuiting the Death Note mechanics is something all the NPCs did in the Death Note universe in a few days/weeks just by seeing that Kira couldn't kill some criminals with badly spelled names or no pictures.

>>279764808
They would definitely obfuscate Kira but not perfectly, because only Kira applies the Kira pattern FLAWLESSLY.
Let's say you and your friends want to help Kira, you check out 10 different websites. Maybe you checked 1 2 and 3, your buddy 4 5 and 6, and so on. Kira checked all 10 of these websites. And he did the same next day, and the next day, and so on.

Of course there is enough noise that it could help Kira get away with it forever, but you always have to consider that the most tests you get (and with Kira, you get tests everyday), the more camouflage gets removed.

>>279799538
Yeah he was fucked the second it was found out his general area with the staggered broadcast and his probable age with death times. Those early fuck ups were required to catch him

>>279780059
>>279780107
Columbo could probably smooth talk his way to get Freeza

>>279799721
The age doesn't matter much really, it's not even hard evidence and doesn't direct the search that much. The location is a pretty big help, but "Japan" was likely to be found pretty fast with the news pattern as well as the hours (delaying killings wouldn't help, it's which news you watch that matter)

The biggest fuckup was still revealing he had police info

>>279717947
>Honestly it'd be easy to not get caught in this day and age if you knew what you were doing with IT
Said knowledge requires an IT background, Light was supposed to be a law student.
He could just go to a library and buy a newspaper, then start writing the names of important politicians until the entire leadership of a country is destroyed though lol.

>>279799670
Just accessing the sites would help but you're right that it wouldn't be perfect. For obfuscation would it be better if someone made a site hosting potential targets visited by tens of thousands of people. If light got most of his sources from selections there, randomized death dates at least and maybe supplemented that list with some analog international sources that would help a lot. That would leave him open to false flags or trolling and there would still be the issue that he could only use the sources written in languages he could read but, forgive me for typing it, something like r/Kira would be a huge headache for authorities.

>>279803259
>elevates
Do you speak Japanese? I think it's the other way around, because it's hard to match Japanese language with English lip sync and they have their own typecasting so it sounds like anime characters talking over real people which is cringe.

Yes, but often times Columbo is just as omniscient as the watcher and just knows who did it and most of the episode is him just proving HOW and/or getting them to confess.

I think Memento man would also have a chance, since Kira would have no idea what he's doing, basically the Game Theory advice of doing something that makes non sense every once in a while.

>>279803347
Yeah the most realistic way for Light to do his job safely is to have someone gather targets from all around the internet for him. Of course this would just change goalposts and force the government to arrest the person doing this. But then Light can threaten to kill the entire government if they intervene and presto he has a kinda bulletproof deal as far as I can see..

Monogatari has various other, let's say, distractions and smoke and mirrors to keep the viewer engaged, even (especially) during dialogue scenes. Hyouka and Shoushimin are better comparisons since they let the raw dialogue carry the scenes. They're also actual mystery/detective stories, and one of Yonezawa's major writing inspirations is classic mystery novels.

>Well, Mr. Yah-Gay-Me, I was just thinking. Wouldn't it be funny if this Kira guy had some sorta notebook he could use to just write down people he wants to die, and he'd never have to lay a finger on them?

Here's something I'm wondering about the chart. Some of these characters can solve the Kira case, but does Light know they're after him? There's a difference between being able to solve the case and bringing Light to justice while he's trying to stop them. For example, it would take a day for Light to figure out that Batman is Bruce Wayne. A lot of these other detectives don't even hide their identities so it would be trivial for Light to kill them.

>>279813519
That would basically limit it to characters that either always use a pseudonym or have no canon name at all.

>>279813519
>For example, it would take a day for Light to figure out that Batman is Bruce Wayne.
But would it satisfy him? What if he has the same compulsion as L or it was L and he needs real proof.

I wouldn't call them distractions. Most of the visuals are representations of what is being said in the dialogue. It draws more attention to it not less.

>>279808552
Yeah, in general Japan doesn't really do satire making fun of politicians all that much, though they really should.

>>279818110
Closest thing I can think of is the first half of Shin Godzilla, where the government was more concerned with procedure and bureaucratic processes over actually doing anything. If you cut out all the shots of Godzilla and civilians dying, it comes across as a comedy almost.

>>279818110
Or you just don't see it because material parodying Japanese politicians doesn't get localized because why would it

>>279717734
The problem is that the scripting is weird. You always start knowing who the criminal is, most of the actual runtime is Columbo asking redundant and uninteresting questions, and the villain only gets caught because of a slip of the tongue that wouldn't hold up in court.

>>279818110
No parody protections in Japan. One episode of Gintama actually got taken off air due to making fun of a politician.

This. People talk up about the broadcast kill and poor randomization as huge mistakes, but those were very survivable mistakes. Showing that he had high-ranking police access was the utter ego-induced blunder.

Though the broadcast was still a massive propaganda victory for L. It showed that Kira was not some dispassionate justice god but an impulsive fallible human, one that police work had a very real hope of catching with funding and practice.

Can he catch this guy?

>>279796773
A god doesn't run. Making it impossible to find you is basically admitting defeat, since that clearly means you view them as an insurmountable threat.
If Light could do it all again, he would still kill the convict .

>>279799538
How do you narrow it down when definitely people would do everything in their power to obfuscate Kira, either intentionally or not.

At least thousands of people would have a similar search history making it useless to narrow him down like that.

>>279824474
Technically it's literally impossible to catch him without a stand or some way to see spirits.
And even if you could catch him, it would end in a fight anyway.

I don't think any of these guys could solve the case before Misa came into play given the same circumstances as the original story. They COULD solve and capture a solo Kira but not the two seen in the series. L is an anomaly among them because he deleted any link to his past or real name that could possibly let Light kill him. Even characters like Batman or the MIB still have traces back to who they really are. But Misa is all but impossible to deal with by all except the most maximum paranoid autists like L. Sissel is the only one with a real chance against both of them and only because they can't kill him.

You made an statement that One Piece is globally acclaimed. Such a bold comment!!!. My wife even overheard it while we were playing our usual chess game at night. Rooks falling, bishops praising, knights riding, and pawns dying. The game wouldn't have lasted so long if my wife hadn't told the annoying truth. If One Piece is so disruptive, why is the internet still unbroken?

Even if Columbo can solve the case, once Kira sets up Bites the Dust, it'll be impossible for him to catch him.

York, the psychopomp guardian angel with a direct line to the afterlife, being in "cannot intuit" is fucking insane. You could argue that his detective skills are not up to snuff, but as far as familiarity with the supernatural goes, it should be simple as hell for him.

>>279824987
York isn't human, so the Death Note hypothetically shouldn't even work on him.

>>279738472
This is not true you're surveilled all of the time even if you don't consent to it. There are still pockets where you can get away with things but everything surrounding them is surveilled for the most part (and if not you should assume it is because it will be soon). This data is also stored forever when possible and more and more of it is being collected and stored forever each year.

This means there is a massive backlog of data to troll through whenever a "person of interest" gets on the radar. The folly with most normalfags (and (you), maybe) is the fact that they have the mind set that they
>aren't doing anything wrong.

The reality is more things are becoming "wrong" with each passing year and "they" are setting more and more precedent each year that it's okay to go looking through people's pasts to commit them of crimes (or increase punishment for crimes in the present). All it will take is "them" deciding to go full authoritarian to put us in a more dystopian hellhole worse than any of our cyber punk sci-fi would ever imagine.

(you) are part of the problem because whenever anyone tries to warn about this happening and getting worse each year you do one (or all) of the following:
>you're schizo/crazy
>it's 's fault and we should use this technology to BTFO
> are not conspiring against us. It's impossible for a small group of people to do these things
>I refuse to believe this until you give me dissertation on the exact plan "they" have. The names of "they". The entire history of each of "them". Full proof that it's happening. Don't bother writing it because I'll refuse to read it anyway and call you schizo.

The most frustrating part of this is watching people willingly accept the technology being built around them that will only lead to their own doom. They pretend like anyone that is afraid of it now is crazy of needs to "get with the time".

>>279734716
People fail to realize the actual problem of finding Kira, which is the police acting on the assumption that all these deaths are the work of a magical schizo writing names on a book. They would never, ever look for a single culprit or even any culprit at all since it would be likely assumed to be the work of a mysterious illness or just the feds executing undesirables and covering it up with the Kira bs. Or if we want to be extremely generous they'd look for a high target criminal organization. They would never investigate random civilians, in the show this only happened because L was a megaschizo that happened to be right and even then they didn't take him seriously until the L.Taylor blunder happened.

It's impossible to get caught.

The only reason he gets caught - what people have been saying for 20 fucking years now - is because it's written that way. L makes massive leaps, and everyone just sort of agrees with him.

Tell me right now, how you even think someone dying of a heart attack is the work of some incel high schooler hundreds of miles away and then pin this one.

You can't, because every single time, it would get quietly written off as weird, but natural, and it wouldn't even get to being investigated.

>>279764808
>But you are not considering that so many people would support him and help him get away with it, it's not even funny.
99% of the population would adamantly hate him because the TV said to.
The remaining 1% would fantasize about supporting him on social media while doing nothing.

>>279825908
York may have deep connections to the supernatural, but he doesn't make good use of them. Best example is the coffee giving him Forrest's initials. And when he meets him for the first time, he's carrying a red sapling. The seeds for said sapling being tied to an ongoing case, all of them found on the bodies of the victims both before and during the events of the game.

Cosmic forces slapped him in the face with information and he just blissfully let it slide while kazoo music plays in the background.

>>279828575
There are plenty of those.

They'd probably just assume it's the CIA with a new version of their heart-attack gun
