Could he solve the Kira case?

Fart in my mouth, right now.

Kira made it way to easy

>>212996351 (OP)
Only if Light doesn’t use Misa’s eyes to see his real name, he’d be a lot more direct than L imo and I do think he’d be able to actually track him down since all of his first killings were in Japan in one town

All Light had to do was conceal that he was Kira.

L had to deduce who Kira was, how Kira killed, what Kira's motivation was, what accomplices (if any) Kira had, all the while trying to keep himself and his coworkers safe, minimizing public killings, trusting the right people, while keeping the right people in the dark about his plans, keep records of his thought process, set traps without letting the right people know about it.

Literally one slip up means failure and most likely death. Even after all of this, the only reason why he died was because he ultimately made the right decision that was going to conclude with Light getting caught and a shinigami had to interfere to stop him.

L is by far the smartest person in the whole show. Smarter than Light and Near by a mile. Him dying humanizes him.

>>212996351 (OP)
he'd decide it was L

>>212996351 (OP)
Even /a/ agrees that he would.

Please consult the chart.

>>212997666
checked and saved

>>212997666
Shawn & Gus from Psych would absolutely solve it whilst Light would go insane writing down fake names over and over.

>>212997666
Why would courage not be able to solve it

Light is even more overly confident, smug and cocky than the killers Columbo deals with. He'd fall for Columbo's traps and give himself away easily.

>>212997666
>poirot represented by branagh
for fuck's sake

>>212996497
L and Light are depicted as geniuses but to be honest it didn't take that much for L to outsmart him, he just had to poke at his ego and make deductions based on Light's reactions.

>>212997666
Courage should straight up next to Columbo.

light is a fucking retard, so yes, easily

>>212997666
Harrier Du Bois might struggle. Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau, however? He'd intuit the Death Note's mechanics after a three-day bender, mid-argument with his necktie, and solve the Kira case through a mixture of cryptic logic, primal screaming, and pure Inland Empire.

>>212997666
and where do the good Winchester brothers place on this chart? surely they would solve the case in the end

Columbo would legitimately know that Light was responsible the second he saw him in person.

>>212996351 (OP)

>Oh, ok Mr. Uragay, I won't waste any of your time. Just one more thing...you must have a craving for apples. I know, I know, my wife does too, but I've never seen her a whole bowl in an afternoon. Y'know, I read in a book once that dead spirits love apples...Ah look, there I go again, rambling about superstitious nonsense. Have a good day and watch that fiber, Mr. Applr Kira.

>>212996351 (OP)
Columbo has god level intuition. He knows who the killer is instantaneously when he first meets them. So it's really just a question of, would Columbo meet Light? If we imagine that he's on vacation in Japan and gets called in for a favour by Light's dad, then yeah, he'd probably come across Light and immediately start the dimwit routine, stalking him relentlessly until Light admits to it. The twist in the story would be that you don't expect Columbo to know what the death note is but when Light tries to murder him at the end, nothing happens. And Columbo goes, "You really didn't think I'd let you write my name in the REAL Death Note, woudja, Mr. Yuhgammy... Just wanted to see if ya'd really try ta murdah me." Pulls the real one out of his coat pocket, Light's crying, fade to black.

>>212996351 (OP)
>L gets an early lead on Light by pure accident
>Still loses
>Now everyone thinks some detective can catch Light
Holy shit it's an annoying trend to see.

But Columbo is smart and isn't fodder from what I've heard. In a straight fight, he demolishes light completely.

>>213000344
And this is why I haven't watched Columbo yet. If he's going to be this Mary sue detective who btfos every villain he comes across, I rather watch Sherlock Holmes who atleast has some character flaws depending on the interpretation.

>Hurr durr just 1 more thing
Maybe I'll watch it when I'm stoned out of my mind.

>>213000477
Hes not a mary sue most people he comes across find him a pest. Hes just really good at his job

>>213000477
The central gimmick of the show is that the killer is revealed in the opening scene. The show would be unwatchable if Columbo was blindly chasing red herrings and dead trails when the audience knows who really did it. The suspense of the show is that Columbo knows the killer did it and the killer knows Columbo knows they did it when they first meet and shake hands with each other. It's literally just the Light and L dynamic.

>>212996351 (OP)
Will someone please *write* an interesting treatment for Columbo solving the Kira case? Like actual dialogue that fits within the Death Note universe, has Columbo flair, and is actually clever?

>>213000723
Why don't the villains just shoot Columbo? I assume they would have powerful connections underground if they're rich/elite.

>>213000509

>>212997666
>Charlie Kelly passes
Heh.

Also how would Virgil Tibbs do?

>>212998474
Yeah but it would be a season finale so one brother would die in order to reveal to the other who Kira is and then come back at the start of the next season.

>>213000987
>Light keeps writing Virgil Tibbs in the note over and over
>AHH WHY ISNT IT WORKING
>Well you see young man...... they call me MISTER Tibbs.
>*slaps the shit out of Light*

>>213000789
They aren't comic book villains anon.
Here's are some of the culprits for the first season:
>A mystery writer kills his colleague
>A PI who accidentally kills a woman, and then somehow ends up on the case
>A general who was embezzling funds kills his accomplice in order to try and avoid an investigation for embezzling funds
>an art critic murders his uncle and tries to frame his aunt so he can inherit his uncle's art collection.
Columbo really is kino though. Just watch the pilot(perscription murder). The format is basically ~30 minutes of a murder taking place before columbo even appears on camera.

>>212997666
Battler wouldn't intuit the mechanics of the death not

>>213000789
Ultimately hubris. In most cases Columbo despite his (deliberately) irritating demeanor many of the killers find Columbo endearing, believing him to be merely a charming fool who gets lucky every now and then, not aware that he's often a few steps ahead of their cover. In others the killer tries their hardest to remove Columbo from the situation through legal means (generally going over his head to his chief/local government with hush money to pull him off the case) because they want to maintain the illusion of innocence. Really though it boils down to "it's a TV show and the bad guys can't do what real bad guys IRL do and also they can't kill Columbo because the show is over then"

>>213000616
Wrong. If you make him say his name while bound by the Lasso of truth when says 'Batman' not Bruce Wayne. All light has to do is picture his masked face and write 'Batman' and he's dead.

>>213001118
>>213001137

>>212997666
Add Kolchak to the top left.

>>213001159
>>213000616
Actually Bruce Wayne is immune to the Death Note.

>>212997666
It'd be a page with "Kim Kitsuragi" at the top, followed by every possible spelling of "Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau", "Firewalker", "Tequila Sunset", "The Gloaming", "Disco Cop", "Hobo Cop", "Guillame le Million", and "Kraz Mazov" as Kira gets increasingly desperate.

>>213001169
It has its weak episodes like any show but it definitely meets the hype it's gotten from zoomers recently. Every episode is kind of like a mini movie so it's all pretty much standalone, you can kind of pick and choose the order you want to watch it in and won't need to worry much. Some people recommend the starting with the first 3 in order (the 3rd episode is directed by fucking Spielberg if that adds any interest) but it's really as simple as "pick an episode with a celeb you like in it" imo

>>212998458

>>213001605
Yep, he was the killer in an episode

He can solve anything. He's the most powerful fictional character.

>the time he is solving the murder a chef did
>they spend 10 minutes cooking and chatting

>Columbo pulls a switcheroo as he explains how he did it
>insists the guy try the veal he just made and tell him what he thinks
>He takes a bite, has a look on his face and then says "I wish you had been a chef."

>>213001653
Cash was one of the killers treated pretty sympathetically too, he and Columbo genuinely liked each other.

>>213001824
yeah that's the thing that makes Columbo so fun too is the wide gambit the killers have. They're not always malicious, a lot of them have sympathetic motives or made unfortunate mistakes they try to cover up.

>>213000789
Columbo isn't a detective who goes after gangbangers and what not. He goes after crimes commited by upper-class people who want to deal with the criminal investigation by other means. That said there have been several where the killer has tried to kill Columbo, like the guy who had dogs he tried to sic on Columbo.

Everyone always blabbers about muh Tokyo killings. Muh ego. Muh taking the bait.

How come no one ever points out that the minute L announced "if Kira kills me it must be Light" that that was essentially Light's best opportunity to go for it. Immediately killing L after such an announcement would all but absolve him to the average normie. Anyone suspicious would sound like a total schizo conspiracy nut (which btw L was)

>>212997666
Putting Fox and Scully together just proves you never actually watched The X-Files

>>212996351 (OP)
kira got nailed in like a week because L knew how to use basic signal intelligence. Then to keep the story going L never could be 100% sure it light.
so yes he could solve it.

>>212997666
>uses a pic of nu-poirot
Please, fix this.

>>212996351 (OP)

Also, a few teenagers from Morioh solved it while fucking around.

Oh wait this is /tv/ i forgot

>>213002229
Yoshikage is unironically the more difficult killer to catch. No body at all so how would you even detect a crime took place (minus the hands and freak ghost shit), can completely change his appearance one time, no insane ego or character faults outside his fetish, just wants a normal life with women's hands. Light has too much ego and self righteousness to be exploited, his only advantage is the extremity of range and specifications of his killings and he blows that cover the second he singles his local region out and L starts suspecting him. If L started investigating Yoshikage he would just kill him immediately and be done with it.

>>213001653
>Ross Martin's is generally considered one of the best
which one is that?

>>213000755
I will ask chatgpt

>>213001237
Kolchak would bumble into the case and give a fake name to the investigation team so he could get some info so he wouldn't end up getting killed. Then somehow at the end of the episode, Ryuk would give Light a heart attack and then fly away with the death note so he just looks like another mysterious heart attack victim and no one ever knows what was really going on.

>>212997666
How can you solve the case without understanding how the death note works?

>Would solve the case in 15 minutes
>Would spend the next 5 minutes dabbing on Light explaining what a fuckup he was just to piss him off
Kneel before the queen. She practices real magic unlike death note bitches

>>213002652
Columbo would definitely have the ability to see Stands.

>>213002775
A lot of real life murder cases are solved without the authorities knowing what the method was. if death note was realistic Light would have been vanned and dumped in a river by the police if they couldn't get a confession out of him. L knew it was him from early on.

>>213002509
Pattern recognition my alpha friend.

>>213002652

Yoshikage has less than no chance of ever encountering L. Both of them are kept safe by virtue of L having no way to track down Kira.

Anime bullshit aside, I think any half-decent detective would finger Light once the government narrowed it down to somebody with a connection to the Tokyo police detective division, it's just a question of whether they'd set up some elaborate ruse to catch him with some kind of evidence, trick him in to confessing to some knowledge only Kira would have, or just blow his fucking head off without evidence because they're 100.00% certain it's the sus megalomaniacal boy genius.

I feel like Francis York Morgan would probably perform better than where he is listed here though.

>>212997666
could shuichi really solve it?

>>212996449
Watched DN for the first time a few months ago. As soon as he killed the FBI agent tailing him I knew he was fucked. All he had to do was continue the facade of being normal until they lost interest. Killing the FBI agents only brought more heat onto him and gave L the ammo he needed to confirm who Kira was.

My favorite Columbo episode is "A Friend in Deed". It's one of the only ones I've seen where Columbo is actually stumped and questions whether maybe he's going after the wrong guy for a while. Villain is suitably intimidating, the scheme is also pretty great.
>>213001352
If you misspell a name too many times the person becomes immune and I -think- the person writing it dies. That may just be if you intentionally misspell it though?

>>213005463
It's vague on that.
Those rules are in the death note list, but Light tries multiple different spellings for the lecherous biker's name for his second test and it works out.

>>212996351 (OP)
>in-door smoking
Insane. How old is this?

>>213005571
I remember the rule for sure saying 'if you misspell the name too many times they become immune" and I'm pretty sure there is a 'the person writing it dies' clause as well but I just don't remember if the misspelling has to be intentional for you to die.
I imagine that in the image you posted, he got the name right before the requisite number of failures.

>>213005605
Here are the rules.
>he got the name right before the requisite number of failures.
Makes sense, he probably would have started with the most common way to write the name.

>>212996351 (OP)
Who are some NON-detective characters who'd solve it?

>>213005910
No. Boots-on-ground police with no experience with the supernatural would not be able to solve it. In order to solve the Kira case you need access to international databases and the resources to send out manpower/surveillance/etc...

Some popular picks (including Columbo) wouldn't be able to solve the case unless they had already narrowed it down to Japan and were physically present as well. If we assume that L never did his Lind. L Taylor stunt very VERY few characters would be able to solve the case.
>>213005987
Mulder + Scully would have a decent shot. I think Arsene Lupin might be able to do it too. Bugs Bunny and the Killer 7/Harman Smith could solve it too I bet.

>>213000477
He isn't always one step ahead of the killers. In one of the episodes the victim dies midway through the investigation while Columbo already heavily suspects the killer but he can't do anything to stop it.

>dramatic music starts playing

>>213006533

Why did he do it?

>>213005638
What happens if he writes false names four times? That's not a misspelling, that's just false information.

>>213006574
Then Columbo is in the clear, assuming Light couldn't find his full name from police data. He'd probably offer him a bag of chips before having him arrested.

>>213006584
>cause of death
>choking to death on my wiener

Light fucked up by focusing on Japanese criminals. He was proficient in English, and had he offed American criminals the news would chalk it up as racism/sneed oils and he could experiment on the rules of the death note for years before arousing suspicion.

>>213005214

>>213006664
He did kill global criminals in the US and elsewhere.
L states that Kira's killings had been distributed across the world but he had isolated the first killing as being from Japan and only broadcast nationally before his death.
It's after that Light starts focusing on Japanese criminals.

He can't solve it in the traditional manner. Best he could do was have Light die a tragic death, but the Death Note ends up in the hands of the weird Asian guy.

>>213001159
>All light has to do is picture his masked face and write 'Batman' and he's dead.
Yes but he wouldn't, because nobody would actually expect Batman being his real name and Light would just waste time trying to figure out who he is under the mask and honestly, in a crossover story with the two he probably would find out he's Bruce Wayne just so that they could have that twist where it doesn't work.

>>212997666
Is Charlie really capable of solving the case?

>>212997666
Where's pic related?

>>212997666
How about Jake in Prisoners

>>213007302
He would probably scream so loudly that ryuk the death god would kill himself

>>212996351 (OP)
How about these guys?

I think they could do it within the span of an episode

>>212997666
What about yagami

>>212997666
Easy

>>213008793
probably like if you answer five of his questions, your skeleton starts to melt you from the inside out

>>213009038
The Winchester's would be OP. They have an actual angel that hangs around with them to see the shinigami, they have a revolving door afterlife if they're killed, all kind of plot maguffins and special items to help them, they're completely used to all magical dealings, have so many contacts in heaven/hell, they're armed to the teeth, the list goes on. They don't even give out their real names. This is just unfair to Light.

>>213010246
I actually wonder how it would work when the two settings directly contradict each other when it comes to the supernatural / the afterlife.

>>213006437
He'd solve the case but wouldn't get the satisfaction of actually catching Kira because he was a little slow, a little late and Light was already bleeding on the floor by then.

>>213000099
Why, its more interesting than most things on here.

>>213009480
Rorschach would figure everything out on his own and then be killed by Dr Manhattan because um actually Kira killing whoever he wants is a good thing

>>213006605
Presumably nothing, most of the Death Note rules are fluff anyways

>>213011021
Well, Supernatural made death happen in Scooby Doo, so I figure the Supernatural universe rules will always supercede anything else.

>frank drebin could solve it
i actually believe that. its still funny

>L wasnt above using others lives to solve a case
>somehow it was above him to just shoot light in the back of his head

>>212997666
>Columbo is immune
>is the type to just go trough Lights things behind his back
>would touch the death note on purpose
>Ryuk would find it funny as shit to see columbo play with Light so he wouldnt snitch

>>213005214
great post anon

Is Columbo good background viewing

>>213012352
Sometimes, mostly the scenes where Columbo banters with the killer or bumbles his way through societal faux pas, but whenever it's focused on the killer you don't get much out of it not paying attention

>>213012352
Yes. Make sure it's the original run, thoughbeit.

>>213012392
>>213012420
Cool. Already have it downloaded, just haven't gotten to watching it yet

>>213009480
he would be top right, he'd figure it out but he'd die before solving the case

>>213012345

>>212996497
are you dumb? the point is that that sort of power would trip any person and turn him them into an ego maniac no matter the IQ

>>213008966
He accidentally crashes into Kira on the freeway, unknowingly killing the culprit.

>>213006584
I couldn't root for the edgy teen after this. Maybe that was the point, telling the audience that light really is a bad guy. Poor detective lady. Stellar episode though.

>>213006615
Columbo generally steals food from suspects (and witnesses) rather than offers it
In one of the first episodes, he eats multiple items from a witnesses kitchen as she provides her testimony - it’s really egregious

>>213000344
>>213000477
Columbo is a left-wing show, how Communist Commissars wish they could be themselves, about a public trial and humiliation of Aristocratic people, where it's revealed their courtesy, manner and friendly attitude is just the mask of a horrifying Psychopath, who is willing to kill you. It's not even a Detective show. It's a mock-up of a detective show, where the killer is revealed to the audience in the first scene. It mirrors the cheering and hollering of the dregs of society animated by Communist propaganda as they are judged to be enemies of the proletariat. After all they are class enemies and it's already certain they are guilty. Columbo is a working-class hero, who fights against evil rich people. It's a show, which can only exist in the context of a society still living off the benefits accumulated by tradition, but which is on the decline.

>>212996351 (OP)
>Could he solve the Kira case?
He could, and Light would easily underestimate Columbo like everyone else.

Desu, I don't see much leftism in a middle class detective catching arrogant snobs in the middle and upper-classes. There are other, subtle leftist themes though, like women cucking their older husbands and being portrayed as good people, with columbo liking them. And the only time columbo is actually rude to a murderer involves an unmasked former ss officer. Him and his partner go out of their way to gloat about it even. The show was definitely made by jews.

>>213014429
I love when he goes to investigate at a homeless shelter and the staff give him soup and offer him new clothes.

>>212997666
Frank Drebin in Death Note is a prime idea for a movie

>>213015449
one of the few exceptions i'd make to my "no AI slop" rule. if it could be done half convincingly, it could be kino

How would Closeau handle the Kira case?

>>212996351 (OP)
But Colombo is literally doing what L did in DN. But Colombo is even better at it then L.

>>212996351 (OP)
Someone respond to this post quickly explaining why or why not this thread is worth reading to someone who likes Columbo but has no idea what "the Kira case" is.

>>212996351 (OP)
He could, as long as you answer one more question

>>212997666
>dirty harry shows up in japan
>spots Light on the street, holds him at gunpoint because he can tell hes a no good murderer just from looks alone
>Light tries to explain the Death Note and shinigami

>>213017555
Google the plot of death note or watch/read it.

>>213005030
Haha

Could Patrick solve it?
