Watari was a great father figure to L and it still hurt seeing him die the way he did. Not to mention it was such a dick move by Light L I get but what happened to Watari was uncalled for.
I agree. Even though I wish L didn't die, I understand why Light saw a reason to do it. But yeah, I don't think Watari had to die too. It was so sad. Watari was a great character and you could tell how much he cared for L. Yes, he was a father figure to L, and I'm pretty sure that Watari viewed L as a son.
@@KitsunesTrove yeah, but wouldn't it have been worse for watari to survive and have to bury L? As you say, the man raised L for most of his life, L was like a son to watari, they do say that nothing is worst for a parent than surviving their child.
I often wonder if this is when L tells Watari to delete everything if anything happens to him. Just a guess on my part ofc, I don't if it's right or not. Thanks for watching!
I know I am late, but I still want to add something to this conversation. LABB murder case is not by the original author. Many people don't consider it canon. It also has way too many plot holes. If you see original manga, there are children always laughing and playing around normally. Mello was naturally a bully and jealous person. No other kid was like him so Wammy house has nothing to do with that. Many children ask Near to come and play outside but he prefers his puzzles. Here you also can't blame Wammy house. It can't change kid's priorities. In one manga panel, children were clinging affectionately to a caretaker means staff was very friendly towards children. And it was not only to find L's successor, it was there to polish all kinds of talents. Linda was a famouse painter from the Wammy house. And even long before rise of L, Wammy uses his money to open orphanages all around the world. Only a good person can do these kinds of things. So personally, I really dislike this theory of abusive Wammy house.
And yet aside from Mello and Beyond Birthday, he`s actually one of the ruder Wammy`s Kids. Also like Light, he is a pathological liar,a bit of a utilitarian and has a very warped idea of justice.(It`s just slightly less warped than Light`s).Hell, in The Manga it is left ambiguous whether he cares about justice at all or just uses the word to manipulate the cops and federal agents on his task force much like Light uses it to manipulate Kira`s followers.
I agree! I like that he survived in the drama. Even after L was gone, he was still able to assist Near and the Task Force. That's actually my favorite live-action adaptation of Death Note, too. Thanks for watching!
I really like Watari, too. He's such an awesome character. You can tell how much he cares about L and not to mention the fact that he's an incredible sniper as well. He also reminds me of Alfred. Watari and L together remind me of Alfred and Batman/Bruce Wayne. Thanks for watching!
It amuses me that L had Watari delete everything in the event of his death, rather than send it to L’s successors. _“Here at Wammy’s House, we do all our investigations from scratch. No hand-holding.”_
@@AllFiery Yeah, but L did say that he told Watari to delete everything if something happened to him. Some info must have been saved though, because Near was using L's research had learned in his own investigation.
Wrong. He did this and the files got transmitted to a different team. This screen only says all files deleted so light feels comfortable not investigating this second team. L knew he was going to do that day hence the rain scene with only light and L explaining he hears bells.
@@ama-ri_vox Yeah I read about that. August 26th was also his birthday apparently. I went ahead and pinned a comment about it like I did for the others who passed. I want them to be remembered for how talented they were.
I actually blame Light more than Rem. Yes, Rem is the one who killed Watari and L, but she did it because Light manipulated her into doing in order to save Misa's life. I understand where you're coming from though and I respect your opinion. Thanks for watching!
@@KitsunesTrove Rem was an idiot and simp for misa for literally no reason at all, his whole character existed to kill L from the beginning because L was too smart to be killed by any human. Personally, there is only one character I hate in death note and that is rem. I hate light too but it's different because light is a villain to be hated but he is still an amazing character.
@@kkp8538 That makes sense too. I still don't really care for Rem and I know that she's not completely blameless in the deaths of L and Watari. I just feel like she wouldn't have done it without Light manipulating her. Then again, she cared about Misa so much, she would have done whatever It takes to protect Misa. You're right though, we never get a clear reason why Rem cares about Misa the way she does. Especially since she's a Shinigami and they usually don't care about humans that much.
Just found out about LemonyFresh ( a Game Grumps animator ) and Watari’s dub VA’s deaths back to back. It’s been a real sad morning for me. Rest In Peace to the both of them.
I kinda contrast the scene at 7:04 and the one at the death note Japanese movie because spoilers We see L telling Watari that he wrote his own name down for him to die peacefully in the maximum time limit so he could catch Light as Kira which Watari was saddened by this news. But in the end L caught Light, which I kinda like the ending more
Oh yeah, i like the ending of the Japanese movies way more. Nothing against near and mello, but i think everything should have ended between L and Light, and M&M and N could have been good as supporting characters and maybe for a sequel with their own villain or something. I also like more how those movies handled naomi's death, it made way more sense with how smart she was that she wouldn't trust light so easily and light would have to make a better plan to eliminate her.
Is Watari evil? Is he an overachiever who just wants the best for his kids at all costs? Is he sorry for what he did to BB and A?is he a kind old man? I guess we’ll never know. 🤷♂️ *que Kanye music*
@@prasanth2601 A was L`s first potential successor who committed suicide because he could not take the pressure of succeeding L and Beyond Birthday snapped and became a serial killer for the same reason,his resemblance to L further tainting the police and federal agents` memories of L/Ryuzaki to the point that many of them just gave up the Kira case out of a personal dislike for him.
@Kaylee`s Nerd Pretty much everybody in "Death Note",protagonist,antagonist and in between, is at least somewhat evil. That`s kinda the whole point and why Light/Kira`s "new world" was ultimately an unattainable dream as he could see the rot in everyone and everything around him but always had an excuse for the rot in himself right up to the bitter end!
I believe it was all of the data they had collected on the Kira case. If so, L still had these files stored somewhere, because we see Light looking over them in ep. 26. And Near had L's files to work off of too, I think. Thanks for watching!
I've actually been thinking about doing the Japanese versions of the character videos that I already have up in English. I like both the sub and the dub of Death Note, so I would like to include Japanese videos, too. Thanks for watching!
Lol rewatching the series now and he was my favorite character lol chief Yagami is my second favorite, L is just as bad as Light.. both are disgusting individuals and only care about the game. At least Yagami cares about ethics and justice. This badass was loyal and a weapon.
Watari is definitely a great character. While not my favorite, I do really like him. It's awesome that you like Chief Yagami, too. He's a favorite of mine as well. Matsuda is my absolute first favorite character, Aizawa is second, then Near, then Soichiro Yagami. I couldn’t stand Light, lol. Thanks for watching!
@@KitsunesTrove lol I get where you come from. We think differently but I respect it. It’s because of our different ideas we make strong community. I like you. May your day be blessed and your life happy. ☺️
@@KitsunesTrove also I really liked L but I hate talking to people who eat.. I just have to bite my tongue and deal with it.. so many times I just roll my eyes and think “put the food down you animal!”
@@KitsunesTrove ooohhhh! I forgot about Near! I haven’t gotten to him yet, L just died and I was sad that my favorite died so I went to this video 😂 Light just became L where I’m at. But Near is a badass.

RIP French Tickner, English voice actor for Watari. (08/26/1930 - 08/26/2021)
He was born at the same day he died, French Tickner was a great actor/voice actor may him rest in peace.
@@AkiFujimaruVT Yes, he died on 91st birthday. He lived a long life and will certainly be missed.
RIP
RIP
I'm glad he got to live a very long life. May he rest in peace.
L is like Batman and Watari is Alfred.
That dude is so versatile, he can be a sniper in a helicopter and an ice-cream man, that's just straight up amazing 😂
Ikr? A man of many different trades, lol. Thanks for watching!
@James Lucas That's right. It makes perfect sense, too.
He's like the L's Alfred
@Belfegor Sloth Ikr? You definitely get that Alfred and Bruce Wayne vibe from Watari and L. Thanks for watching!
His real name is Johnny Sins
Watari was a great father figure to L and it still hurt seeing him die the way he did. Not to mention it was such a dick move by Light L I get but what happened to Watari was uncalled for.

3:10 I love how Soichiro Yagami gets three scoops while everyone else gets two. Like it's a gesture of respect to the chief xD
Big dawg
ya man... it was too funny... bro wanted soichiro to die from diabetes lol
Watari was a nice man. He did so much for kids in need all around the world. He didn't deserve to die. L didn't deserve to die. :,(
I agree. Two of the saddest deaths in the series. And two great characters. Thanks for watching!
Yeah and Watari is such a badass man and a father figure to L
6:53 Despite how sad this episode was, it's sweet that he went to Watari for comfort. Despite us never knowing what was said. 😢😍
I often wonder if this is when L tells Watari to delete everything if anything happens to him. Just a guess on my part ofc, I don't if it's right or not. Thanks for watching!
@@KitsunesTrove - He could have, yeah. O.o
how could one not love watari
Exactly! He's such a loveable character who cared so much for L. And he did not deserve to go out the way he did either. Thanks for watching!
he traumatized kids in the orphanage
@@wirednear how
@@user-px9on3un2n i dont really know how to explain it but take a look at near and mello and also A and BB they were L’s first successors

I just realized that this was L looking at Watari in his point of view 6:36
omg, you are right. this makes it even sadder and kinda cute
Watari is a character barely anybody really appreciated when he was alive but everyone felt bad for when he died.
Watari is underrated
Yes he is. Def one of the more underappreciated characters in the series. Thanks for watching!
He was a great guy who took care of L like his own son, endless respect for him
He is his caretaker.
I love how L is so polite.
And yet aside from Mello and Beyond Birthday, he`s actually one of the ruder Wammy`s Kids. Also like Light, he is a pathological liar,a bit of a utilitarian and has a very warped idea of justice.(It`s just slightly less warped than Light`s).Hell, in The Manga it is left ambiguous whether he cares about justice at all or just uses the word to manipulate the cops and federal agents on his task force much like Light uses it to manipulate Kira`s followers.
For instance, it`s canon that when he told Light "There`s a 5%likelihood that you`re Kira.",his actual estimate was closer to 95%.
I was already crying when watari died but when L died? Everything only made my day worse-
He is like a father to L.
6:31 L wearing different clothes
It was so sad when Watari died in the anime and the movie but it was good that he didn't die in the Drama!
I agree! I like that he survived in the drama. Even after L was gone, he was still able to assist Near and the Task Force. That's actually my favorite live-action adaptation of Death Note, too. Thanks for watching!
Watari is like Alfred(Bruce Wayne's guardian and buttler) to L
Yes! He definitely is. Thanks for watching!
He is his caretaker.
although he gets little screen time im really attached to this character hes so badass and sort of reminds me of alfred pennyworth
I really like Watari, too. He's such an awesome character. You can tell how much he cares about L and not to mention the fact that he's an incredible sniper as well. He also reminds me of Alfred. Watari and L together remind me of Alfred and Batman/Bruce Wayne. Thanks for watching!
He is L caretaker.
It amuses me that L had Watari delete everything in the event of his death, rather than send it to L’s successors.
_“Here at Wammy’s House, we do all our investigations from scratch. No hand-holding.”_
Haha! Right? It would have made more sense to send it to Wammy's House, so that Near and/or Mello would have something to go on. Thanks for watching!
Who knows? Maybe Rem wrote it like “before dying, Watari erased all findings”
@@AllFiery Yeah, but L did say that he told Watari to delete everything if something happened to him. Some info must have been saved though, because Near was using L's research had learned in his own investigation.

Going to die*
This guy is so powerful he can not only make his mustache disappear by using a trench coat but he can also make L care for his health and safety.
Clearly Watari is the father figure of L
Oh and L is a son figure to W, as well
Watari is L's literal father. L was an orphan and Watari adopted him
He is his caretaker.
If you think about it clearly, without watari there would be no L, Near, mello, and wammys house. He’s a strong noble man.
He is L caretaker.
Watari the sniper
Also press f to pay respects for watari

What would that stand for

L and watari are my absolute favourite characters in the anime

I love how they pronounce his name LOL

That's right! Watari's birthday is on May 1st.
I love watari
He's definitely a great and underrated character. Thanks for watching!
Watari was so nice:(
Watari is like alfred

He a caretaker.
Watari is from the zoldyck family
How did I miss that? Granted I’m going through it again but all I gathered is he is a servant and an inventor
