Higuchi could write in the desth note

"Misa Amane sends Higuchi a massage of her former manager real name then dies of a heart attack"

Instead of going in person to get matsuda real name.

Hell he can even make her send the real name of matsuda to all his colleagues in Yotsuba at once so it's not pinned on him.

Death note plot hole:
It is just impossible for Yagami to get caught. He could've sat in his study chair and keep writing names but for plot he gets caught.

>>212361968 (OP)
I don't think Higuchi knew anything about controlling people through the note, that was just experiments Light had set up for months.
Higuchi was just given the note by Rem to kill people, that's it.

>>212362016
His personality is his flaw anon

>>212362128
He later writes a cop to die from a car accident so he clearly is aware of controlling his victim's actions.

>>212361968 (OP)
It's time to let go. This was a story serialized in a children's magazine over 20 years ago.

>>212362281
Okay let's say someone knows it is Light who is killing those people. Where will you find the evidence though? All you will find is a copy having names of people who got killed.That doesn't make someone a killer.

>>212361968 (OP)
Controlling people with the Death Note only works to the extent that it's something the person being controlled would plausibly do on their own.

>>212362650
Raye Penber's superior sent the names of the dozen or so FBI agents to him (and the other agents).

>>212362016
the biggest leap is "this mythical spiritual being exists btw"

Kara's Kawaii Kingdom

it's awfully convenient that L just happens to guess Kira is in Japan instead of Korea, which also observes UTC+9.

>>212362405
If you got a guy who can magically mind control and kill any world leader at any time nobody's gonna hold you to the usual legal standards of evidence to plug him.

>>212362969
He could have just said fuck off that's ridiculous.

>>212362128
Rem's death note had english instructions, as per light's rule 13 plan.
Higuchi also had the shinigami eyes and could have seen Misa's real, non-stage name.
I have to give it to, OP.
After 3 minutes I can't find an issue with his plot hole

>>212361968 (OP)
He wanted to keep Misa around.

>>212362922
L narrowed down his location quite a bit with the fake L broadcast and correctly guessing that hostage situation at Light's sister's school or whatever it was was an early Kira killing and probably close to him

>>212363062
the fake L broadcast was after L had already concluded that Kira must be in Japan based on his schedule

>>212362405
L was on to him from the beginning and only lost because a shinigami chimped out and got involved

>>212361968 (OP)
Higuchi wanted to make Misa his wife/concubine. He believed that he could feasibly find Matsuda's real name without having to kill off a valuable asset.
>>212362650
Incorrect. You can get them to do anything that is possible so long as it does not [directly] result in the death of another person not also named in the Deathnote.

>>212363010
Doesn't really matter what Light word think. If L or some other glowy suspected Light enough to kill him and the Kira deaths went away no government would hold it against them.

>>212363173
what if I write down "vladimir putin chokes to death after launching nuke?"

Would the nuke still be launched but fails to kill anyone since I didn't specify that his death would result in anyone else's death?

>>212361968 (OP)
>>212363037
He tried calling her up and couldn't reach her. He had no idea where she was, if for instance she wasn't anywhere near a phone that would just kill her and gain him nothing.

>>212363206
As long as there's a single nuke he can launch that would fail to detonate (and Russia probably has countless faulty nukes) that's how it would likely go.

>>212363091
A man holding a kindergarten at gunpoint and dying of a heart attack in the middle of it would be something L could find out about. The fake L broadcast was after tons of criminals started dying from heart attacks

>>212363272
You can control someone's actions up to 23 days before their death, and email, phone calls, etc existed back then.
I get your point but still, complete control of someone means Misa would be sprinting to her phone
>>212363173
Higuchi would absolutely save his own ass over misa's
>>212362650
Not do, but they need to know the information you're making them say/write.
You cant make someone who doesn't know how to add answer 29553 + 24822

>>212362969
>>212363148
Okay but how will anyone catch me if I just write names on a notebook and just keep things to myself? A million Ls wouldn't be able to know my identity.

>>212361968 (OP)
He didn't want to kill Misa, yet.
He couldn't know with enough certainty that Misa would know her manager's name.
When he did call her it went to voice mail so she might not be capable of sending him a message in time and just die pointlessly
>>212363206
Putin dies of a heart attack before launching any nukes.
It's directly addressed in the manga.
After Mello steals the death note he threatens the US president by claiming he can force him to nuke the country with the note. Light confirms that can't be done.

>>212363339
I was read it this way too. L had a very strong idea that he was in Japan. The Lind L Taylor gambit was more to verify the location and affirm that the killer was capable of inducing heart attacks based on a name and face.

>rip out pages
>get them into a prison's paper supply
>when visitors sign in the visitor and prisoner both die
Death Note sucks because it becomes a stupid boring detective story that doesn't make any goddamm sense instead of exploring weird things to do with the Note. Slip pages into the paper supply anywhere people write their own names, use it as an autograph book, I don't know just do something interesting with it. Ugggh, the detective story is boooooring and fucking stupid

>>212363792
the guy writing names is light, you are not involved
hope this helps

>>212361968 (OP)
>This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
Also I'm pretty sure this rule doesn't mean the writer has to actually visualize the person at time of writing, they just need to know what specific person with that name they're writing the name of. I'm certain there were times in the series people were tricked into writing their own names on ripped out pages which is where I got the idea of distributing pages to places where people write their own names
>The number of pages of the Death Note will never run out.
Just rip out a bunch of pages and get them into homeless shelters and rehabs. It'd be cool

>>212364957
>Hurr durr this show is boring and stupid, I want people to heckin sign autographs in the death note

>>212365442
It doesn't make any sense for it to be a detective story. It's been a while but I don't think Light was broadcasting what he was doing, somebody just decided "these random unconnected deaths must be connected and caused by a guy" for no reason. It's stupid
It would have been cool if he killed a guy he thought committed some crime and then saw proof that he definitely didn't do it so he starts investigating potential targets to make sure they deserve it, that's an angle to turn it detective. Bunch of people investigating how random deaths are magically connected is stupid
