      Andy Studio I don’t think that’s possible it’s not a DNA trait of the mom or dad it’s the shimmy gummy the only way I can see this happening is if the mom or dad killed the shimmy Gami well they have the eyes but that is very unlikely

      Well then maybe B is actually the shinigami at the end of the anime that everyone thinks is light. This would make sense to me cause I never got the part were if light was the shinigami why would he go to Ryuk and give him an apple and ask him about himself. It would make sense if this shinigami didn't know light otherwise why ask about something he would already know.

      strange how L is much more calm when he finally meets a actual shinigami. after all the freaking out he barely even cared about Rem's existence at all. I was surprised he was not more determined to get more information out of Rem, underestimating Rem's existence what he might be capable of was one of L's stupidest decisions.

    He didn't just decide that being a criminal was better all of a sudden. I read the book a few years back. In it you learn just how awful of a place Wammy's House is. It is so competative that many of the kids kills themselves out of sheer pressure. They are all there just to possibly be a new L. B was supposed to become the next L. He is basically exactly like L, just like with many other kids there (Mellow is a good example), he was quite a bit more unstable than L. So he got rejected as the next L. That is when B decided that if he couldn't be the best detective in the world, he would beat the best detective in the world by becoming the worlds greatest killer.

      She couldn't because the death note might have started affecting her and she clearly looked like she was frozen in fear because she gave her actual name and was warning up to Light and trusted him.

    • @starpe9240
      @starpe9240 6 років тому +26

      DuoReview Well, (Get Ready for some reading) Light really was the villain while L was the hero. The main reason Light "became God" was to cure his boredom. Now here is a bit of philosophy, most people in this world are Christians, if not a lot of people are, right? In the Deathnote universe Ryuk states that if you use the death note you can't go to heaven nor hell. First off, this tells us Christianity in the Deathnote universe is real, second this gives us the fact that morally, according to God, murder is murder and murder is a sin, so Light is the villain according to God, but not according to the people. Yet.
      In the first episode, in Light's first kills, he felt guilt, he knew he would go to hell (before he knew he couldn't.) He knew he had done something horribly wrong. He tried excusing it with the "they're criminals they were just low lives." Even after that he makes up the claim that everybody else in the world wants criminals to die and they lie in public to make themselves look like they're good people.
      Now let me repeat this. Light's main reason for killing was for boredom. He had no other reason, he killed innocents that tried to get in his way.
      Okay, maybe you're with Light and you think he's a good person for killing criminals. Well remember the girl he made commit suicide? As she was walking away, he started mocking her knowing exactly what she was going to do.
      Ryuk stated all people that use the death note live a life of fear and suffering. Because it's murder and to make up for it, they must live that horrible life. So what do you think? I'd love to hear your response, I'd love for you to make a video on it too.

    • @duoreview7492
      @duoreview7492  6 років тому +19

      So, I'm probably not going to be able to give a good full on response right now (because ironically I'm planning a video that sort of tackles this), but in a basic sense there is no good and evil for either Light or L. One of the main themes of Death Note is justice, and how it's merely a human concept that only means what the user defines it as. The same applies for good and evil. You could make moral arguments in both directions for why Light is good or evil, but in the end they only mean what you think they mean.

    This explains why L freaked out by the realization of the possibility of a Shinigamini in this new investigation. Probably during the investigation with Naomi he dismissed that something as supernatural as a Shinigami was influencing Beyond Birthday considering he L was raised to be a detective that uses calculations and reasoning to sniff out his subjects not magic and he probably deducted that the difficulty of catching Beyond Birthday and his crimes was due to him being a genius much like L himself who was raised in an institution like whammy that grooms geniuses to be detectives not because of Magical powers. Its so fascinating how all this tires in. Death note is ingenious.😭

    I loved the end where L hugged Naomi. It made me laugh so hard. L ended up tumbling down a flight of stairs when she used Capoeira to kick him off. 'He was lying on his stomach like a crushed frog.' He just comments "I see, watching the videos and seeing it for real is quite different, but now I think I understand." And so L learned that style of martial arts from Naomi's suggestion earlier in book.

    Can we all just talk about the one scene where L DID appear in the book SPOILERS for those who haven't read the Los Angeles BB Murder Case book.
    L first heard about capoeira from Naomi, and he learned it by watching videos about it! However, that wasn't enough for him, so he shows up at a train station where he knows Naomi will be and pseudo-attacks her to get her to kick him down a flight of stairs...all so he can see capoeira in action!

    Could it be a possibility that L himself had a death note, killed BB and ordered his shinigami to relinquish his ownership of the death note which eventually erases his memory, like we witnessed in the actual anime. And I'll add that L's shinigami was non other than Ryuk himself. As we all know Shinigamis are not permitted to share any information of the previous holder and whatever they could see through their shinigami Eyes?

    Something I love about Deathnote is that’s Light is the villain, he is the bad guy. However he is the protagonist. L is the good guy, however he is the antagonist. L is the “bad guy” in the anime but if you were actually there he would be the good guy. It’s amazing because we get to see inside Light’s head, we get to see his thinking, they way he acts, his intentions. He IS the protagonist, but he is also the villain, I love the mix.

    Just my thought about why BB can copy L appearance, well I believe that even without makeup, BB will look atleast 70% similar to L(Doppelganger). Not only that, BB must stalk L for a long time or do a research carefully or pretty close to L to copy his mannerism too.

    A weird theory: Maybe BB's mother had the Shinigami eyes herself (from making the eye deal) at the moment she gave birth to him, and/or when he was conceived, and that's why he had them .... 🍎🖊📓🍰☕🤍 I don't see how else he could have had them from birth ....

      The first time the name Ryuzaki is used by B (Beyond) as a fake name. After the LA BB murder ends, L himself started using the Ryuzaki as an alias, which you can see in the manga and anime series.
      It's confusing because most of us first learn that L uses 'Ryuzaki' since we either read the manga or watch the anime. The prequel, which is the LA BB murder book, mentions Ryuzaki to throw us off since we assumed that name belongs to L and we did not know the existence of B

  • @mr.knightthedetective7435

    Holy shit! There's an anime where this killer "B" guy exists! The anime it self is called "B-The Beginning!" And guess what too, the anime it self is kinda similar to Death Note! Here me out: In the anime, there is a *detective* like L, there are these "fallen angels" who have wings like shinigami but look human. They don't have Death notes but posses powers to shift their bodies into bladed weapons. What if these "fallen angels" are Shinigami-human hybrids. And the main character and the main villain each posses one eye that grants them God like powers. In one season finale episode (spoilers) they discussed about how their eyes can percive life expectancy or something like that. Similar shinigami eyes work too.
    Edit: HOLY SHIT I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING TOO! When you mentioned that L is B, I had my doubts but just then I remembered something and googled it, *Killer B from B the Beginning looks AWFULLY allot like L in his second form!* It is a possibility that a secret past!

  • @Phrotoh

      It's honestly possible he never had the Shinigami Eyes in the first place and Mello speculated wrong. The _plot_ would be the same.
      But I refuse to accept that because the Eyes mean things for BB as a character.

    • @wuloki
      @wuloki 6 років тому +1

      Yep, because Mello repeats what L told him, and there's a big chance that L just guessed or even lied... something which he does quite often.

      On the other hand, the eyes offer a lot of psychological drama, which may explain B's character.

      +Beyond Birthday
      Mello was more so recounting L's story, not repeating everything L said. L had zero knowledge of the Death Note or Shinigami at the time, so there was no way the Shinigami Eyes were included in the story L personally told Mello. So, Mello, who has knowledge of the Death Note, must have been the one who added that to the story, not L.

  • @PlaneptuneRaps

    I thought this would be about Misa Amane. Near, the SPK, and the Task Force conveniently forgot that she murdered plenty of innocent people as the second Kira, and under Light as Kira. More seriously, she killed Ukita. I know it's implied she kills herself in the anime and probably does eventually in the manga, but still, that's not really the kind of justice that was sought against LIght and Mikami. Even in the manga Mikami is imprisoned, despite the notebook being burned and him losing all his memories of being a killer, just like Misa.

    I recently rewatched all of Death Note. Having read the BB murder cases, the scene where the second Kira talks about Shinigami made more sense. While watching it, L looks visibly shaken by just the mention of eyes. He freaks out after hearing Shinigami. I could be wrong but it looked like he could have been remembering BB and how he always had those eyes. Even if he didn't see BB in person, I'm sure he knew of him at Wammy's house due to his odd behavior in knowing when someone or something will die

    Can I just point out that there is a good explanation as to why B had the eyes from birth, a short one too.
    His mother had a death note and she made the deal for the eyes, somehow he ended up with the eyes because of genes. It makes sense the more you think about it.
    Maybe B even had his lifespan cut in half from birth, we don't really know but I think I gave a good answer.

    @nearthe2nd 6 років тому +2

    I'm assuming the following theory is going to be about how it's likely Beyond Birthday had a death note before and made the deal to get the shinigami eyes, and somehow and for some reason he erased his memory by relinquishing the ownership of his death note back to the original shinigami owner, much like Light did. Which would leave Beyond Birthday with no memory of the shinigami, the death note, and with the ability of the shinigami eyes. I never read the book myself, I've had it ever since it's released and never got around to it, I should get around to reading it, after binging the anime or something. I'm gonna spit ball some guess as to why he would relinquish his memory. I can see Beyond Birthday acquiring the Death Note, but not taking much interest in it beside the shinigami eyes, because Beyond Birthday just seems like the guy who enjoys murdering his victims in person, since he violently mutilates his victims, he wouldn't get the joy out of it, if he just wrote them into their demise. Or maybe, Wammy's House isn't as morally pure as we thought?

When Light started off his killings, he would kill criminals whos names came up on the t.v. So, what I think happened was Light saw B.Bs name and face on t.v for his murderes, and then Light killed him.
