Well? Can they do it?

I finished Death Note recently and Light was such a little bitch.

>>713996140
Why do you think that

>>713999231
God complex childish idiot, L was right

>>713996140
Isnt that the entire point? He's a villain protagonist

>>713996140
Light is the Walter White of anime

>>713994556 (OP)
Nahida wins. Don't worry, she'll be merciful with his punishment <3

HE FUCKING WON
ALONE

>some people think he is an anti-hero
fucking edgy kids

>>713999581
>N-NOOO, not the feet, Nahida, anything but the feet all over my face!

>>713999581
Little cocksleeve couldn't even defeat me (fat ugly bastard), much less Kira

Sam Porter Bridges Unger?
He just... uhhh.... delievers the package to the police and then they catch him. Kira cannot kill him, he can come back from the dead

Who would win?

>>713999774
Choconigger was the worst part of it and I include L but a kid in that sentence so you know your brat is really fucking shit.

>>713994556 (OP)
he could do it

>>713994556 (OP)
The quality drop after L dies is outright insane. Never before have I been as tempted to stop reading a manga after Near and Mello were introduced.

>>713999774
2nd part of death note was literally the worst part

>>714001752
Stop lying. You watched the anime. Manga part 2 is kino.

Unless there's something later in the game I haven't found that can help, he's screwed. No name protection, weak investigative skills. Could beat the shit out of Light if he finds him but that won't happen.

this fucker was so annoying. him and near feel like fake fanfic characters

>>714002401
How would you come across Light?

>>714002427
my good buddy and butler scleritas fel of course

I miss the comfy 2000s anime era.

>>713999774
This nigger and his "L but again and like unbiased or whatever fuck you" buddy completely ruined the plot

>>713994556 (OP)
>le smart person
>doesn't get shinigami eyes

>>713999774
what the fuck were they thinking

>>714003257
Shinigami eyes are kind of a terrible deal though.

They only work if you are confident you will die of old age but spend 90% of your life in jail. Because then they give you a chance of living e.g. ~40 years in freedom rather than 5 years in freedom and 75 in jail.

However, if you are already destined to die young, the eyes make you die even earlier.

So let's imagine that Light's fate was to be killed by someone. If he accepted the eyes he would only die sooner.

This is interesting because Light's dad died like 4 days after accepting the eyes, which means he would have died 8 days later without the eyes anyway.

Anyway, Light had considered accepting the eyes several times. He just didn't want to get them without a necessity. And he never needed the eyes ever since he met Misa, and then Mikami, and then Takada.

>>714003257
>get shinigami eyes
>life time halved
>would have survived until 80 year old with it
it was bulshit but my suspension of disbelief can accept it

>>713999774
my fucking boi

>>714002784
i'm glad the anime made him less gay

>>714005637
You can still die to disease, heart attack, some random mugging. The shinigami king will find a way to fuck with you.

>>714004479
>This is interesting because Light's dad died like 4 days after accepting the eyes, which means he would have died 8 days later without the eyes anyway.
bro he died the same day after the base raid...

>>714006618
Oh shit you are right. Yeah he would have died the day later without the eyes. No way around it, might as well take the eyes.

>>713999774
Here's the thing, if Sidoh never told Mello that the rules were fake would he/Near have figured it out?

>>714006746
I don't think the lifespan shown by the eyes reflects murder, otherwise Misa would probably have mentioned to Light that her dad would be dead in 2 days.

>>714008201
It definitely reflects murder. That is Misa's entire backstory. A shinigami had fallen in love with her. One day he kept staring at her, Rem asked him what was up, he said he was sad because Misa was going to die that day but he had no idea how or why, since she was young and healthy. They started watching her together. She gets assaulted on the streets and realize that she is going to get murdered. The shinigami kills her killer and extends her life.

An interesting fact here is that if all L intended was to arrest Misa, Rem wouldn't have died by killing him. It seems like Misa would get the death penalty upon being arrested. L did say that he thought the United Nations would unofficially execute Kira if they caught him, probably ask the task force to do it themselves even.

>>714002784

>>714008459
Good point. Though it does make me wonder if Misa never bothered to mention to Light her dad was gonna die in a relatively short time after they met.

>>713994556 (OP)
This threads would be way more interesting if the character had to not only solve the Kira case, but also kill/defeat Ryuk. That would be a total victory over the death note.

>>713994556 (OP)
>miku in fortnite
literally the worst kind of character you could send towards kira

>>714008807
First of all it is impossible to kill Ryuk. Shinigami can extend their lifepsan by killing humans. If they know they are going to die tomorrow, they can just kill a couple people and guarantee they will live for thousands of years.

Second of all how the fuck is Ryuk an enemy? Did you even read the manga? Ryuk is true neutral unless you do something that makes him unable toe at apples, then he LIGHTLY nudges Light into killing you.

>>714006423
nah the whole eye plot point was bulshit (but still good).
Misa took it 2 time and killed herself only because Light lose, so she basicaly halved Kira lifetime 2 time too if you think about it

>>714009181
You do know that the average JRPG character ends up killing god, right? The more unkillable you are, the more likely they are to kill you.

>>714009490
Anon this is not about being "powerful enough" to do it. It's about how the life counter is perfect.

It's like in Jojo where Diavolo can see 10 seconds into the future and his predictions are always correct because he rawdogs into the strings of fate itself. Similarly in Death Note someone's time of life remaining is always accurate.

The best you can do is seal Ryuk I guess? But again why would you want to do that

>>714009102
She might not be able to catch light, but she could fight against him on public opinion. If he kills her despite only speaking out against him, it'd violate his own self righteousness.

>>714009653
>If he kills her despite only speaking out against him, it'd violate his own self righteousness.
Did you even get to episode 2

>>714009653
the moment miku reveals atleast a small intention of going agains kira she will be dead on the spot, she is famous, her face and full name are everiwhere, literally kira prime target.

>>714009181
Fate manipulation isn't the most uncommon power. There's a lot of characters who could be killed and still come back.

Also Ryuk is evil. If he didn't get chaos, he'd give the note to someone else to sate his boredom.

>>714009653
you really think the public opinion on kira would be swayed because of fucking miku

there is literally every government on earth playing against kira and you think miku is the one who tips the scales?

holy shit vocaloidfag are mentally ill

>>713994556 (OP)
Outer Wilds guy, he'll solve it within 22 minutes, eventually.

>>714008459
Shinigami death was also full of bulshit, ton of death are caused by other people so they would have dissapeared long ago trying to steal people lifetime thus expanding other lifetime causing the shinigami to die.
Unless it need some magical heart sense bulshit about wanting to help human to decide if the shinigami die, then Rem situation make a lot of sense even without L theoricaly planning to kill Misa.
But again Rem whole story is bullshit, telling about shinigami eye to someone you want to protect risking your own imortal life ? just no (btw she didn't want the drama with Kira traping here since she already knew Misa was going to die with the number in her head but whatever)

>>714009907
Interesting scenario but I don't think it is possible to solve the Kira case in 22 minutes no matter how many attempts you get.

>>714009983
Entirely possible it would just be an everlasting stalemate as well yeah

>>714009976
>Shinigami death was also full of bulshit, ton of death are caused by other people so they would have dissapeared long ago trying to steal people lifetime thus expanding other lifetime causing the shinigami to die.
Anon the entire point of the mechanic is that it requires the intent of increasing someone's lifespan.

The shinigami king is omniscient and knows why you write every name and who you intend to kill, that's how the death note works. If he knows you are killing someone with the intent of saving someone else, you're toast. If you kill someone and it incidentally increases other people's lifespan without that being your intention, you're good.

This is why shinigami don't focus on killing "bad people" like criminals or terrorists. They don't want to risk dying because of the shinigami king thinking they were trying to help humans.

>>713994556 (OP)
Th-through the power of alchemy, she will solve the case!

>>714009764
He did that because he was threatening to investigate him. I don't think Miku would be killed if she was just saying "I think kira is bad and not nice, but I can't do anything about it." And it would fuck with light a lot. Long term there's no way it'd stop him, but she could delay his new world order a lot.

>>714010090
>it would just be an everlasting stalemate as well yeah
I think it's far more likely Light solves the outer wilds case and forces the player to suicide after removing the energy cell that powers the timeloop.

>>714009983
If Kira is within 22 minutes of spaceship travel, given infinite tries he will be found.

>>714010206
>I don't think Miku would be killed if she was just saying "I think kira is bad and not nice, but I can't do anything about it." And it would fuck with light a lot.
I don't think you realize how polarizing Kira is. There are already tons of celebrities against Kira, and also tons supporting him. This is like saying Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift supporting Kamala would have put a big dent on Trump's campaign. It did not, some things are bigger than celebrities.

>>714010260
???
Light would never figure out that he is in a time loop.

I think it actually could.
>Isn't human
>Had no name besides begin called "AstroBot" but that is just the name of the type of robot it is
>There is a shit tone of them
> Even destroyed, Astrobot can be rebuilt cause it a robot
Kira is fuck

>>714010443
Anon, Light is one of the most brilliant characters in fiction when it comes to raw feats (not narrative). He easily could as the player started getting closer.
>huh who is this guy? might as well kill him
>wait... he put a mask at just the right moment
>it's almost as if he knew I was going to kill him now
>has he been through this situation before?
>and how many times?
>so this is a time loop

>>713999774
why did he kill near's team? that was fucked up

>>714010653
The better question is why Near was simping for him at the end despite that.

>>714010348
Yeah, she'd lose but she'd do something. If there was an competent investigation, her stalling could do something.

>>714010843
The moment she started being a semblance of a problem Light could easily kill her in an accident or a murder.

The public never finds out that Kira can kill through means other than heart attacks.

He could also easily mindcontrol her into destroying her own career and betraying her fans before doing that.

Seriously Miku is not a worthy opponent.

>>714007010
Yes, prior to Sidoh showing up he was already seriously considering risking is chances on it.

>>713994556 (OP)
>Sephiroth
Yeah I'm thinking Kira becomes God.

>>714010590

>>713994556 (OP)
He'd probably solve it, and Light can't kill him because Layton is not his real name.

>>714011762
>inferior L
>thinks a fake name will protect him

>>713999774
still better than near

>>714010590
More like
>This guy is always wearing a mask. He must know how the death note works
>Did he figure it out on his own? Or did another shinigami tell him?
>Maybe he can tell the future with a power similar to the shinigami eyes.
Being smart doesn't mean jumping to the right conclusion. Even if he deduces that there is a time loop, he only has 22 minutes to figure out how to stop it, and he can't read nomai.

>be able to kill anyone from any distance without leaving any traces + being able to manipulate their actions
>still get caught
light is a retard

>>714010979
Again, killing her goes counter to his motivations, and I think she could thread the needle between being someone he would choose to kill and being a nuisance.

>>713994556 (OP)
Easy peasy

>>713994556 (OP)
Simon Jones from Blue Prince could crack the case but I'm not sure if he could make anyone believe him.

>>714010590
that is the stupidest stretch I've seen in a while

>>714013727
Also, how would he actually disable the ash twin project? It's in space, and he'd have to do it without outer wilds guy figuring out what he's trying, or killing him. Any attempt to shut down ash twin if it fails will give Kira away in the next loop.

He could pull the Lind L Tailor trick or a similar cheap shot as many times as he wants, and risk his life doing it. He could find Kira in only a dozen resets that way if he does a binary search.

>>714009653
>>714009770
>>714009873
"The human whose name is written in this note shall die"
Miku is not a human.

could never take death note seriously. light spends god knows how much on the tv of the infamous potato scene to throw it away the day after, yet he can't get ryuk a gba sp because it's too expensive? come on

>Light writes down Kris's name, but it doesn't stop his [heart shaped object] because he doesn't know (my) name.
I don't know if Kris has the sleuthing skills to catch Light in the act but I feel like we can give it a shot
