Death notes are just regular notebooks, they're not magic. The killing is done by the God of Death and the shinigami like Ryuk are glorified jannies doing the dirty work picking the victims to extend their own lifespan.

>>213787346
This is also not true, are you retarded?

Light, L and the other boy geniuses are all motivated by individualist ego. And they all justify their actions as being beneficial to society. They are only different by context, swap any of their lives with each other and you end up with the same scenario playing out. There is no actual heros or villains because Death Note is about the morality of "justice"

>>213787280
The narrator literally tells you after the time skip that people are miserable and living in constant fear of Kira because no one wants to accidentally get on his shit list. It's like a surveillance police state times a thousand because you can be killed anywhere, any time, at the whim of someone who may not even share the same morals as you.

>>213787789
Oh no, think about the criminals being too afraid to commit rapes!
How is this any different from being "afraid" of the government and police? At least with Kira you get someone who actually believes in some form of justice not just a jewish shadow gobermint putting microplastics in your water supply.

>>213785361 (OP)
Go back to /a/

Why didn't Light write all the task force and SPK names he knew in preparation for the final showdown with Near?

It was already established with the way Light killed the FBI agents that the Death Note can be used conditionally (i.e. FBI agents die after receiving the email file) not just based on time.

Light wrote that the bus jacker would die after seeing Ryuk.

In both cases, Light did not have an exact time written for the death since he could not have known the time it would take to convince Ray to give him his FBI ID (for the busjacking) or to threaten Ray into writing the name of his superior (for killing the FBI agents).

Light could have written a conditional note such as "all these people die when they hear the phrase 'I am Kira'". That way, even if Mikami failed, Light still had a way of killing everyone except Near. At this point, Light could have just asked Mikami to bring a gun and/or Light could have stolen a gun from the fallen task force members and finished Near off.

"[insert all task force and SPK member names here] attend the meeting at the warehouse showing no outwards signs of being controlled. They hear the phrase 'I am Kira', toss their weapons in the direction of the speaker and die of a heart attack."

Am I missing something here or would this have been an easy way for Light to ensure his victory even if Mikami failed?

>>213787849
>How is this any different from being "afraid" of the government and police?
I literally drew a comparison to that very thing, work on your reading comprehension. The biggest difference is that the government and police can't make me keel over dead from a heart attack without ever touching me. Imagine living in the UK, but every time you break one of their inane rules there's a good chance you just instantly die without warning.
>but Light believes in justice and blah blah blah
You know that because you're watching a TV show where he's the main character and you get to hear his thoughts. The people in the world don't know who the fuck this guy is, they just know he can kill anyone at any time for any reason. Would you really want to live in a world where some random guy you don't know is the judge, jury, and supernatural executioner who can just decide some random thing you did was worthy of death?

>>213787895
See above, at least the government can't just literally strike you dead with only your name using supernatural powers. I'm not saying our current system is good, I'm saying it's better than one guy who can kill anyone, anywhere, any time deciding whose crimes deserve death.

>>213788070
>Would you really want to live in a world where some random guy you don't know is the judge, jury, and supernatural executioner who can just decide some random thing you did was worthy of death?

Well Near, looks like I win.

>>213788092
Do you really not understand the difference between a person physically attacking you and being struck down by the fucking wrath of God? You can potentially defend yourself against a person who attacks you, or escape from them. Not so against the Death Note.

>>213788157
>>213788070
The fuck are you on? Kira is not omniscient. At the very least he needs your name and face. So no you're no in danger of instant death because you jaywalked. Also, if you government decides to kill you you won't be able to "potentially defend yourself"

>>213788195
>At the very least he needs your name and face.
Everyone's name and face is literally everywhere at all times now.

What the fuck was Light doing with that line where he goes for his watch in the most obvious way to try to write Near's name? He could have just remained calm and done that shit behind his back. Then Near would be the fucking retard for showing him his real name in the fake Death Note.

>>213788195
You know all of this because you watched a TV show that explained it. The people in the world don't know all the rules. You need to put yourself into the shoes of someone who lives in that world, where all you know is people drop dead anywhere at any time at the whim of a supernaturally powered serial killer.

>>213785361 (OP)
Criminals are less likely to commit crime if they know that they won't be able to walk in 2 years and that the only penalty is the death penalty. Why is that so complicated?

>>213788028
Light wasn't writing anything in the last weeks, everyone was watching him so he was relying on Mikami to carry out the murders. All he had was a scrap of paper in his watch.

>>213788726

Light does, L don't think is ok

That's their characters, goals justify means and not

>>213787789
Morality is not relative. It's objective

>>213785361 (OP)
The death penalty for any and all crime is bad policy.
The punishment for a crime serves not just to get bad guys off the street, but also as a deterrent.
If you fear that stealing a loaf of bread will result in your hands being chopped off, but you REEALLY need to steal that loaf of bread, then you might as well try and steal the whole bakery because the punishment is so severe. Go big or go home.

Or another way of putting it, Many criminals are only "partial criminals", that is to say, they may willing to commit a theft, but they are not willing to commit a murder, either out of morals, but in this case out of a consideration for the consequences.
The punishment for a theft is minor compared to the punishment for a murder. But if the punishment is the same, then that bank robber with the empty firearm might think
>well if they catch me it makes no difference, so I might as well just kill everyone

>>213790328
That goes right the fuck out the window once you've already conceded that it's okay to murder people for their crimes. So what level of crime deserves the Kira treatment? Should we stick to murderers and rapists? How about drug dealers? Drug users? Burglary? Theft? What degree of theft deserves death? Do we start extending it to whatever serves the "greater good" and start killing people who refuse mandatory vaccines? Keep in mind you have ONE RANDOM ANONYMOUS PERSON deciding these things for the entire planet. Are you willing to risk your life at the hands of someone whose morality and ethics and sense of justice you may not even agree with?

>>213790666
Basically, it's beneficially to be lenient for lesser crimes.
Many criminals feel a compulsion for the crimes they commit, it doesn't matter why, the simple fact is that they do.

Ironically this has actually happened with black people today. Many of them believe that any and all crime, hell just being black, carries with it the death penalty. And so when they are stopped by a police officer for a simple traffic infraction, they don't think they're going to get a simple ticket, or even just a warning, no, they are convinced that they are going to get the death penalty. And so they shoot the police officer, and initiate a high speed chase.

>>213787214
They have a hero complex, just like the hero

>>213790771
Similar in psychology to this is the treatment of prisoners of war, POW's

If you communicate to your enemies that you will kill all of them and take no prisoners, then none of them will surrender to you, you will be making your enemies more ferocious by being so bloodthirsty.
If instead you communicate that you will take them prisoner and treat them very well as prisoners, they will be well fed, protected, and not abused in the slightest, then you will be encouraging your enemies to surrender and not fight.

If your wife is behaving badly and you shout at her to shut up, and then she goes to the police with that and you're charged with domestic violence, and then you're put to death by kira... well you might instead think
>if the punishment is death anyway, I might as well kill my wife and go on the run, it won't make any difference if I get caught

Let's say it takes 20 seconds to write out every name, and you have a database with everyone in India listed alphabetically. How far could you get? How long would it take? Do the death jannies give you more paper?

>>213791269
There is a rule about collateral damage to humans. You would have to threaten them directly

>>213791377
Damn. That wouldn't work, I mean why wouldn't they immediately be like "get UN I found the magical killer?" Maybe you could troll them a little by telling them you already wrote them down, but they can erase it. Probably most people would just let themselves die though. And if there's no collateral damage then that rules out disasters like planes or trains crashing. Useless book. Take it back.

>>213790937
To some guy with a magic notebook who just looks at news articles and public records, it's all going to look the same. Any man who gets charged with rape because the woman changed her mind later and wanted to get revenge will be killed right alongside the rapists who actually forced themselves on women because the charges, the court cases, and the headlines all look the same.

>>213791932

I like how in the Yotsuba arc it's revealed that Light never killed people who have excusable circumstances or those that regret their crimes, but he's never been shown making this distinction during the series. How did he even do that research? What qualifies as excusable circumstances?

>>213785361 (OP)
Which makes perfect sense because the people that finally get out of prison are just going to commit more crimes. Do you think people stay in prison until they're dead?

>>213792228
You missed the fact that L was a genius as well

>>213787214
Could make it go down by 100%

>>213792228
L's plan to narrow down the search to Kanto was retarded, had a hundred moving parts that could all fail independently and relied on plot contrivance to work.
What conclusions could L draw if Kira didn't kill the stand-in?
>Kira doesn't kill lawmen
>Kira didn't watch the broadcast
>Kira was asleep or incapacitated
>Kira isn't in Kanto
>Kira realized he's being tricked and didn't fall for the bait

All of them are equally valid.

They really did breeze through that whole process a bit too conveniently. It never sat right with me, either. My only problem is that I can't think of any better plan to do what L did, and without him narrowing down the search you don't really have a story, so I end up just forgiving it for the sake of the story being allowed to happen.

>>213785361 (OP)
His idea was not to just "kill all criminals" but become a "god" that people will believe in. This is why he st some point started making his victim leave cryptic messages and shit. The idea was to make people believe there's an omnipotent punisher who will kill them if they commit a crime. He kind of succeeded. By the end of the show there was a religion in development already

With all of this in considerstion though, you could justifiably narrow it down to the fact that you aren't dealing with an omniscient God at the very least.

>>213793121
You can't, later down the line L wonders if Kira really is a god, but immediately discards the idea, because an omniscient god wouldn't be threatened by the investigation enough to kill people pursuing him.
So the failure of the broadcast doesn't even prove that.

There always will be C R I M E.
Human beings are mostly retarded. There always will be conflict. Best way to deal with this is to have means to defend oneself. Also try to live in a Country/Neigborhood where crime rates are low. If it increases - move. If u can't afford to do so, it's your problem.

The bait wasn't a cop though, which means if it is a God, there are more restrictions/requirements in how killings are selected since the bait likely fit the target profile to a T.

>>213793292
How did he even assemble his crew? How did that look like? None of them know he's Kira, so he had to somehow anonymously assemble 7 people with the pitch of "Let's kill people for personal gain".

>>213787346
>Death notes are just regular notebooks, they're not magic
true. all the deaths were coincidental, you cannot refute this.

>>213788028
Ryuk should have said, OK, Light, I'll kill them for you, but you have to finish Near yourself with your bare hands. Light would have lost something more important in his life, his ego.

Consequences of being written by japs who never really knew what real criminals were

I've always been curious about the neither heaven nor hell line. Like what happens to Death Note users? There was some theory that they become Shinigami because one of them from some OVA/movie recut featured a new shinigami in a tie that could be Light, but who the fuck knows. Just an interesting question.

There is no Heaven or Hell. Everyone goes back to nothingness.

>>213787050
After an devastating global war that wiped off most of the human population, interdimensional aliens wanted to preserve humanity, doing so by putting them in a matrix-like reality to prevent them from hurting themselves. The main problem was overpopulation, so they created a group of population managers known as shinigami to cull humans every now and then.

>Should I detain the most likely suspect? No, I'll let more people get killed.

>>213799886
Disregarding that this is a translation, that doesn't say there isn't an afterlife. Just that all that die go to the same place. No reason that couldn't be a waiting room (purgatory) before the next step, but Light being a user gets pulled out of that waiting room into nothingness.

Like >>213799748, why list it as a downside if it was meaningless anyway?

>>213799886
If Heaven and Hell don't exist then what's up with the Shinigami and their realm? Where did they come from and what's their goal? I don't remember.

>>213799886
its very clearly implied this is some kind of cost or punishment to using the death note.

maybe the author retroactively changed it, but it seems weird to specifically say this if hell and heaven dont exist in the first place.

>>213788028
the writer wanted light to lose so he made light lose. there's no deeper meaning unfortunately.

>>213800009
Or Ryuk could be just fucking with Light.

>>213800054
this

>>213788028
When you write a conditional and the conditional is not met the victim simply dies of a hearth attack

>>213788028
A recurring trope in most stories is that the villains are comically inept and their plans never succeed. There no stories where the characters succeed in creating a better world.

>>213788028
Light was lame for doing the 40 second heart attack. Imagine writing tons of names in advance have and them all simultaneously kill themselves trying to reenact Jackass stunts. They wouldn't even suspect a murderer and would assume mankind is going insane.

which is a plot hole in itself. only reason kira got his multi-kill rampage going was the criminals name and faces being made publicly known. Realistic counter, aside from the fact Kira only knew japanese and operated there, was simply stop publishing criminal convictions after his presence became known

other then that all that kira could do is either compromise himself by targeting local criminals around him or really big fishes like war mongering tyrants starting special military disasters

He misses 3 obvious facts.
1. Criminals don't think about consequences in crimes of passion.
2. Criminals think they'll get away with it in premeditated crimes.
3. Criminals will commit crimes they don't intend to walk away from. (mass shootings)
His methodology only impacts criminals who think they'll get caught, but are willing to go to prison for it.

>>213787346
It was a very special thing that Ryuk had two Death Notes. That's the only reason he felt free to drop one in the human world. If they were just ordinary notebooks that the shinigami supplies the power to then it wouldn't work like this.

Counterpoint: If all crime gets a death sentence then I might as well do a big crime.

Reminder that if you watched the anime you don't really finish Death Note. The anime chops up the second half really badly and rushes to an ending while the manga was divided properly in two halves.

It was a gambit. If it worked then he'd narrow down the search tremendously. If it didn't work then he'd have to try something else.
He doesn't sacrifice much in the attempt.

>>213787214
They didn't say it was a bad thing. Their job is to catch murderers and Kira is a murderer.

>>213811251
Basically

Of course a never b4 seen murder method is tricky, but patterns

Do you know they shut down pattern recognition on ai only and only if you ask for death

>>213787214
>noooo the amount of murderers stay the same
Also Light is a fucking retard. The entire second half of the show with him autistically trying to find out L's name is just stupid.
You don't have to know his name to kill him, you're around him 24/7. Poison his sweets. Shove him off of one of those buildings you're always on top of, hell you're a cop now, get a gun and just blast him, figure it out

>>213810610

What kind of technicality can you kill him on? Possibly snitching on him to the king for deceiving him?

Death angels will always be that

>>213788028
>(i.e. FBI agents die after receiving the email file) not just based on time.
The FBI agents has a specified time. You need to explicitly write down the time or else it defaults to the 40 seconds. The conditions are just for controlling the events before the death. If you write
>dies by jumping off a skyscraper
but don't specify a time that would allow them to get to the top of a skyscraper in time, the condition will just get ignored and the victim will die from the default heart attack, because your condition was impossible.

>>213813702
What if there is no default and you have to detail the way of murder?

I have the theory that if you simply poke a guilty person enough with the truth they die.

So we tried with trump

Why all the people I allegedly killed show up alive

Hiro chris allison and N?

>>213796406
>unlimited fire starter
arsonist Kira when?

Let me try this again, the how is revenge porn

Couldn't he have just made someone nearby murder-suicide the guy?

>>213814206
no or he could've just made any random person assassinate L

>>213814251
It has to be close doesn't it

Now the porn generator was here earlier on some actress thread

Talked about what it was doing, they know who and when is watching porn

The porn need certsin things, it has to be personal it has to be the woman's fault, they can't be just naked or unconcious, to generate jealous murder rage, then the hypno

The main part with all this porn laying around is knowing who is watching what when

>>213792319
He knew the timings of the murders to deduce it was a cocky teenager. Light should've coordinated the timing of the deaths at every midnight or something.

>>213814384
Then it needs the thread

But you had to say posting where you wank

So I said on /pw/ I wank to anything on the /b/ degenerate ai thread

To bait

Ok so this obviously doesn't kill if you ain't guilty or know

How Chris avoid it

>Series take place in the US instead
>Light starts writing down criminal names
>this causes large amount of deaths in the black and hispanic community
>instead of being worshipped as a god, Light is now portrayed as a racist serial killer by the media
>backlash causes state governments to stop arresting blacks at all, citing protection against the serial killer

>>213814555
This would save a lot of pedos doesn't it?

>>213814592
American Light would probably be a pedo like most autists.

>>213814601
I dunno sociopaths are weird some just wanna kill

What about the ads?

Those are always there

>>213814601
>lethally mind controls children to fuck him

>>213814676
It is

If I had the deathnote I'd only go after petty crime.
Littered your cigarette butt?
Agonizing death by burning.

Took a turn without using your indicator?
Crushed by a truck.

Listening to loud music in public?
Death by seizure.

etc., always the same deaths for the same crimes so people would connect the dots.


I'd make being annoying/ a nuisance deadly as fuck just to see what happens.

>>213815060
>Mikami has entered the thread

>>213785361 (OP)
You forgot the part near the end where Light said he was going to start killing NEETs, nerds, otakus and other non-respectable members of society, probably gays, dykes and trannies too.

Would someone do that?

Solve the cases for free?

If you stashed the note without writing in it how long would it take for Ryuk to get bored and kill you?

>>213815243
Why would he, you have a deathmark?

>>213797312
probably start with the infographics on /pol/ and moot

>>213815263
The shinigami is forced to follow the owner of the death note until their death, so after a while Ryuk would just ask you to forfeit ownership or straight up kill you

Again why?

Your numbers are there

These should be capitol offenses.

Turning without an indicator could be a mistake, or a fault with the car. There's room for innocence there.
Not so with the littering and loud music in public - those are psychopathic people who must be executed for the good of humanity.

His name's Light, not Bright
He's not very smart

>>213785361 (OP)
Firstly, how the fuck is Columbo supposed to solve the Kira case, realistically?
Like L was a genius in a universe with slight supernatural elements in shinigami. Despite that, and having the help of the FBI, he still wasn’t able to take down Light.
Columbo may be smart, but he never dealt with a serial killer who can kill from anywhere on the planet. All he’s done is solve mysteries on a tv show meant for your parents when they were in college.
Also wouldn’t a match-up between Dexter and Light make more sense? Dexter has some supernatural elements like Doakes being able to read minds. Both characters are also serial killers with rightious goals, and both are canonically geniuses too.

>>213820912
Columbo would suspect him and somehow trick him into accidentally confessing

>>213820993
Yeah but what happens if Light grabs his book and tries to write Columbo's name in it?

>>213821030
Upon taking the Kira case, the first thing Columbo did was change his name to Coiumbo.

>>213821030
he uses his wife's maiden name to throw off criminals

>>213821030
he cant. He doesnt know Columbo's first name, never in any of the episodes is it revealed
in the show pilot you can using modern tech zoom in on some ID and see it says Frank, but thats not canon.

So Light cant kill Columbo for the same reason he cant kill L

>>213821227
>Misa and Mikami can see names
>Columbo secretly has a death note of his own so their shinigami eyes don't work on him which makes Light seethe

RAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH I MUST KILL LE CRIMINALS OR SOMETHING

They should make a sequel called KWAB Note and whenever Light writes someone's name on the book they get raped by black men
First episodes should feature Binging with Babish, Kevin Nash and Anthony Bourdain

>>213787214
Despite how L and Near tried to justify themselves, they didn't care about Kira. L was even willing to kill death row inmates as a means of catching Kira. L and Near just had major egos and wanted to prove their intelligence by catching Kira, it was all just a big game to them.

>>213795966
