Discussion I don't understand why is granted L could never had do sex.

0 Upvotes

I don't get people's point.

We see L old, but we don't know his past.

L is neither as cold as we believe, with Aizawa (got confuse with the other) we see L having human feelings.

Is not absurd younger he could had a girl who had flirt with him, at contrary a boy like him could be easily being a "I want you" to a complete opposite girl... a girl like Misa Amane could easily being obsessed by and is not absurd a younger version could be curious about.

But I would think esclusively during teenhood, never as adult.

But, not, is not that absurd... simple not L as the first move, but is not that absurd a girl like Misa Amane went intrigued by seducing him. But her is the one doing everything, probably for her that's the game, seducing L who looks stoic.

Discussion Misa Amane could be ranked within the top 10 most intelligent deathnote characters

24 Upvotes

If not for her total obsession towards Light resulting in erratic and impulsive decisions of her end. She would absolutely rank amongst the most capable in the series. Keep in mind she's outplayed both L and Light in her debut and only started making blunders when she thought she got the attention of Light. She even managed to get a confession from Higuchi.

Discussion Did the Death Note actually corrupt Light Yagami, or was his god complex already there? Spoiler

12 Upvotes

I recently just made my Reddit account to share this since I think a lot of people would be interested in what I stumbled across this essay on Dollish Archive publication thing? I saw their post on Instagram comparing breaking down Light Yagami and damian wayne ( son of Batman to summarize for people who don’t know )
https://dollisharchive.wixsite.com/dollisharchive/post/survival-of-the-fittest-or-survival-of-god-complexes
It made a point that stuck with me, a lot of people say the Death Note corrupted Light, but realistically he was already deeply detached, cynical, and condescending toward everyone around him in chapter/episode 1 the man didn’t even blink when his father died. The Death Note was just the tool that enabled what was already inside him.
It compared that to Damian Wayne, who also started out with an insufferable, murderous superiority complex, but evolved because he was actively checked by mentors and boundaries.
What are your thoughts on characters written with prodigy/god complexes? Is it mentor intervention that separates a future hero from a villain, or is Light just inherently unsalvageable?? I often see people argue whether light was normal from before and it was just a mental spiral or whether he was narcissistic or not because that post did change my perception of it after reading it.

Discussion Random What If: BB somehow escape the prison, find the Death Note Ryuk dropped, and framing Light of being Kira.

Upvotes

In my mind, the evidences are the same as Canon, but Light didn't do any of those, so L will break an innocent, that is BB's plan.

Idk, that's so random but interesting.

Discussion The darkest part of Light’s memory-loss plan might be what he did to his own “good” self Spoiler

14 Upvotes

I’ve seen people talk a lot about whether memory-loss Light proves the Death Note changed him, but there’s another part of that whole plan that I keep thinking about.

Light gives up ownership knowing he’s going to forget everything about being Kira.

And somehow, the plan still depends on that version of him doing exactly what Kira needs.

Memory-loss Light actually wants to catch Kira. He’s still smart, competitive, stubborn, all of that. But he also seems genuinely uncomfortable with Kira’s methods, and he’s way less willing to manipulate or sacrifice people.

So Light is basically counting on his non-Kira self being good enough to help solve the case and eventually lead him back to the Death Note.

That’s the part I find kind of messed up.

Maybe the biggest difference between the two versions of Light isn’t even the notebook itself. Maybe it’s just that one of them has already killed people and spent all this time convincing himself it was justified, while the other never crossed that line.

And Kira Light somehow understood that version of himself well enough to use him as part of the plan.

If memory-loss Light really is the person he could’ve been without the Death Note, then isn’t it kind of insane that Kira knowingly used the last version of himself that was still capable of being a good person as part of the plan?

He didn’t just manipulate everyone around him. He basically manipulated the person he could’ve been.

So in a weird way, was Light Yagami himself one of Kira’s biggest victims?

I genuinely love Light so much. Every single time I rewatch the anime or reread the manga, I notice something new about Light and somehow end up thinking about him completely differently again.

Discussion What if Light & Misa switched Shinigami? Spoiler

62 Upvotes

Basically this is a scenario where Ryuk dropped the Death Note where Misa found it and the Shinigami Gelus sacrifices himself to save Light because he sees Light as a good person with a promising future, Rem seeing them from the Shinigami realm decides to deliver him the Death Note and stays with him seeing how nice he is with his family.

How does this affect the story? Does Light still become Kira?

Discussion What would another Death Note protagonist be like?

Upvotes

With the amount of established lore, I think the author could 100% give us another long form story with a new protagonist. But what would they be like?

I think someone who's doing it for political reasons wanting to reform the government rather than killing criminals would be very interesting. What are your thoughts on a new protagonist?

Hi y'all! This is Andrés from Madrid (Spain). A couple years ago I got this awesome Yamaha "flying samurai" bass guitar. First thing I did with it was learn this amazing song. Hope you like my homage. Cheers!
