Thank you!
I meant REM not Ryuk mid way through the video, sorry about that.
Also LIght might team up with 212 as well after she begs to be his partner.
Ok
NO
Yes sir
Hello Seth
@XxneveragainxX I think it depends on if he's using Kyra Light or pre physcopathic death note user Light, the empathetic Light that we saw once his memories were temporarily repressed and hidden

That's right, I got the flag
If Misa were in the game with her Shinigami Eyes, she could simply see who's about to die and stick close to those who are destined to live longer.
Plus, she would know which teams to pick for tug of war for example.
@@celestialloves4264 Not necessarily. If she looks for the one who's closest to dying, she can pair up with them because that means she'll most likely win, hence why she sees her partner/opponent is about to die.
@@Poseidonjd You're right, but that's only if she's aware of the game beforehand. If not, she could pretty easily be manipulated in game by one Light Yagami.
@@celestialloves4264 Fair point. Also yeah, she would die against Light, alone for the fact that she's willing to die for him anyway.
@Alex uhhh Is it truly so? I need to rewatch the anime or reread the manga.
L would wake up after the sedation, look around the giant room with all the contestants and be like “I’ve worked out what the 6 games are”

im pretty sure its “can squid game survive L and Light?”
edit: you’re welcome for the likes ;)
Lol yeah that feels more accurate. L and Light are just too much of chads for most of it tbh
And the answer is no
My thoughts exactly!
XD
Yeah I agree
Indeed
The most messed up part about these two is they probably would discover loopholes in the game that could potentially save most the other players, but for the sake of keeping their identities a secret, they would keep it to themselves.
I think L would help secretly and light would act like he wants to help but try to just save himself secretly
@@kimoTV131 i think its the exact opposite because L doesnt care about any persons well being just to find out who kira is
@@okuri9991 mhm! L isn’t a ‘good’ person, he just happened to be a detective
@@okuri9991 this is surprisingly wrong, your thinking about near
@@okuri9991 that's absolutely wrong. in L's own novel, there is a scene where he loses some people from his team while he was working in another case (bb case), and the book reads something like "L brutally rips out his hair and screams, when he realised that he can't save nobody". more compassion than light has ever had in the series.
I think the problem with Squid Game is, no matter how smart you are, alot of it just comes down to sheer luck. It doesn't matter how many potats chips Light crunches, if he doesn't get a good tug of war team he's done.
Knowing how smart he is, he would probably figure out what all the games are before even playing them
I mean, realistically, Light and L would get information beforehand from someone who has already played and survived
managing other people mitigates most of the luck aspects. Just look at the way the tug of war game was won in the show! The real question is if Light and L are charismatic enough to get enough people to do what they want. Light may actually have an edge over L at that, with his ability to manipulate others
L is legit probably one of the strongest people there, he could make due with an average team.
Light's got that plot armour
I’m glad we’re all on the consensus that L and Light wouldn’t have too much of an issue with squid games without even watching the video lol. Still down to hear seths take on it though
Well. You better hope light can defend himself. If any big dude comes at him at night idk if he's gonna survive
I find that Light is very good at manipulating others, so even if he can't convince people to form a group and have scapegoats, he'll find some sort of way to survive
Will L and Light survive squid games!?!
The real question is if said games can survive between light cleverly murdering the people behind it and L investigating the shit outta them.
@@2oshow he would just befriend bigger people and use them
@@JAGuy and even still people are unpredictable in the games and all it takes is for someone to fuck him over. All in all idk really if hed win.
Light was willing to kill his sister and dad so I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be hesitant in Killing nice people.
depends if it's regular light or evil light
@@SauceGod.999 they are the same, the "evil light" is just his true self he doesn't show to others
@@trademarkager1997 Lmao evil light isn't his true self bro, that's him corrupted by the Death Note. He literally wouldve never turned out that way if he never found it. He's a genuine good person and it's seen in the anime when his father tested him at gunpoint and when he wanted to stop the company that had the Death Note who killed 3 lives in 3 months. Also the fact that he genuinely wanted to take down a "monster" like Kira.
@@SauceGod.999
he has a thought where he's confused why kira has the same idealism like him so technically he would do the same if he got the death note minus the memories and the task force memories
give a man power and they will show their true self
@@trademarkager1997 absolute power also corrupts absolutely. Its a hard situation so it could go either way but I don't believe it to be true nature because of yin and yang where in pure light resides small darkness where lights strive for good lead him to his darkness.

No worries about the Korean. I'm pretty confident L at least would already speak it, he's probably able to speak a shit ton of languages. And Light would be able to learn it quickly of he hadn't already been learning it. He pretty much did nothing but study. I wouldn't be surprised if he was learning languages
Well he knows english. I am pretty sure you can communicate with almost anybody with english.
Yea, English is the most popular language as it is spoken around the whole world.
@@Makaveli-ih5hy 😂😂😂😂😂 right its mandarin

Answer: They'd never end up in the squid game, L and Light would probably game the banking system to become rich enough to join the managers of the games.
Yeah that would be the most likely case but it’s not impossible they participate on the premise that it is a competition between the two of them they have little regard to human life and truly only care about their pride and enjoyment to be honest L does have some morals but it’s more because it is “right” then about him caring about other people
I said they wouldn't join because they would both actually read the contract. Lol.

@@odin5062 L could be wanting to investigate and take down the squid games and participate for that reason its not like thats out of character for him

"could detective conan from case closed solve the kira case" would be an amazing vid bro. your death note content is amazing.
Most likely.
Too many chapters he wouldn’t be able to read the whole thing lol
@@DrooledOn Conan can pretend to be anyone he has heard before, kick Light unconscious with ease, analyse patterns of killings and canhave Rin's father take the fall for him if Light decides to start killing detectives that might be tailing him since Conan would just be a kid he takes care of and would not raise any red flags to someone as proud as Light.
Damn that sounds sick
@@Gattsu_the_struggler Well, if you have not seen conan (at least the first chapters), it wont make much sense.
But once he is turned into a child, he is taken care by his GF's father, who takes the credit for his detective work.
Conan is also a fake name, so Light would not be able to kill the kid detective with it.

@@Kaeyathrei-Kayak- dead ass?
One criticism, Light would never admit to L that he's Kira, even if they were in a last man standing situation. The reason is that solving the Kira case matters more to L than his life (demonstrated by Near and Mello being his contingency plan). Conversely for Light, ensuring L loses was shown to be more important than anything aside from his own life. This is evidenced by Light's willingness to immediately sacrifice his morals to attempt killing L and his unwillingness to sacrifice a portion of his life for the Shinigami Eyes. Light would absolutely never choose to put himself in a last man standing situation with L only to announce that he's Kira, this would be like a double loss for him both risking his life unnecessarily and also giving L a fleeting victory for no gain.
That seems like a logical assessment
The only way I see Light revealing he's Kira is if he had just won the game, using it as a last rub in his face as L died.
Facts
Counter argument: it’s really cool to imagine that scene though. Light believing he’s already won only to get physically dismantled by L in seconds. Even if it’s a bit of a stretch, it would be a really cathartic way to end Light’s character. His own hubris and ego getting the better of him. Granted, Light never stood a chance against L but the build up to the fight of Light having everything seemingly planned out only to lose not due to wit or trickery but by simple fists is fitting irony.
14:16 special mention to Hideki Ryuga, the pop star who could have been killed at any moment thanks to L, despite never agreeing to risk his life like the police, nor being a criminal.
RIGHT! I FEEL BAD FOR THAT GUY
L isn't actually evil he's apathetic, has a clinical point of view and enjoys a challenge but Near does seem to have more of a conscious.
Dude, the author of Death note literally said that L was “slightly evil”.
@@vietcongwarlord6931 what does slightly evil even mean lol.
@@Astrothunder_ it means that he has a dark side.
@@vietcongwarlord6931 just like any other human
@@cutiemeowie8352 No. That sounds like a you problem. If you have a dark side, you should probably find help.
Fun fact: in the manga, Near is visibly distressed at the deaths of the SPK members.
Distressed yes but didn’t really react
@@hectorsoto8805 visibly distressed is a reaction.
@@espresso387 compare it to how anyone else woulda reacted cmon bro
@@hectorsoto8805 irrelevant, he still reacted which your reply said he didn't.
@@espresso387 lol Ik what I said but is it really irrelevant
I love how we all just agree that light and L would destroy the games and they could find a way to end the games once and for all without even having to personally enter
L is more of a puzzle solving genius so he will definitely figure out games before light on the other hand Light is a social genius and strategic genius so his odds for surviving games are more than L
Prediction: Light has higher odds of surviving due to better manipulation tactics, L survives until later rounds but dies
I’d say they both survive and the biggest threat is the other players.
I agree
Nahh L definitely wins because he gon make it to the squid game with light and L way more skilled in fighting
L was really good at manipulation I don’t understand how he’d die
L manipulated light into basically snitching on himself to be kira he just had to prove it to everyone else
Well seeing how smart they are I would think that they could easily complete squid game easily
Indeed
Yes with their massive brain
Given how smart they are they’d never end up in squidgame
They could easily defeat squid game easily because of how the game can be easily beat by them
@@michaelrusage8416 true
So basically it comes down to Matsuda being as smart and skillful as the policeman in the TV series. I'd say that in that case, Light stays memory-less until the end, and agrees with L to stop the game there. They apprehend the VIPs and stop the operation of the death games, find the notebook and the plot proceeds as normal.
Even giddy with arrogance and the possibility of finally getting rid of L, Light would know that L has prepared multiple failsafes the second L suggests stopping the game. He wouldn't actually dirty his hands by killing someone he's competed against for so long with his own hands, he probably thinks it animalistic and not an actual win. He values intelligence more than physical strength.
Memory-less Light might even suggest forfeiting the game for L's sake if L doesn't suggest voting.
Yeah that was the part I didn't get. I feel like evil light would be smart enough and know L well enough to think that L would have the police/FBI watching them during the last couple rounds. He's extremely arrogant but he's not that stupid.
This is nice, L deserves a win. Light had to use straight-up magic to win from L. Damn I love Death Note
Tbf though L considered the possibility of his death while light didn't so L was better prepared in the end
L started with the advantages of practically infinite wealth and the network of every investigatory force on the planet. Him not being able to win just because Light had a magic notebook (with some pretty restrictive rules attached to it) shows that he must have been a whole lot dumber than the show wants you to think.
@@CrashSable L was literally playing a game, that he didn't know the rules of. And tell me what would you choose: the police and the fbi or a supernatural power and a shinigami.
@@dr.death4207 But you have to remeber light had the handicap of Misa. Which if you think about it she lowkey cause like 75% of light`s problems
@@bongoadam2408 yeah, but her eyes were very useful sometimes and she helped with the Yotsuba group investigation.
Squid Games is something Light can EASILY win. Light is by far going to be smartest and most cunning in the room. He also has the physical build to compete with other men in physicality. Lets not forget Light's greatest of all skill. Social and psychological manipulation. Squid games is a perfect arena for Light. L will make it far, but his inability to be sociable like Light will be a hindrance. Light can easily mass and lead an entire army of other players, and kill them off later when he believes their usefulness is up.
Light didn't beat up every kid in an orphanage when he was a child
L is stronger physically than Light
And L is also very manipulative
He would figure out The old man is the organiser easily
He figured out that the killer was in a certain region of Japan just in 1 weel
@@therealslimshady6763 Figuring out the main man is the organizer does not help you here. You still have to participate or get a bullet. Simple as that. You have to survive. L can easily deduce the squid games purpose, but eventually he will fall to the games. Regardless of what you say about L's manipulative abilities... Light far surpasses L in that regards. It is honestly not even a competition when it comes to that regard.
@@johnchoi4473 Man I'm not saying you're wrong (except in L being weaker than Kira that's BS) but you sound like Light could use you like a pawn and you would say thanks
@@joaquingamarra3248 if that is what you got you should go back to school. I never stated that L was weaker than Light. Learn proper reading comprehension before you make yourself look even more stupid.

L vs Carlos Medel video when?
so true
Capoeira*
I hiiiighly doubt Light would sacrifice himself in any situation, I'm surprised how you painted him as a much better person than I would 😅
Good video though! I enjoyed it a lot.
Light would 100% do what that guy did in squid game where he tricked someone into handing over all of there marballs. idk if he would be capable of acutly killing someone without using the death note though i mean light is messed up but i have my doubts he would be able to actuly kill someone with his own hands, and the thing is you kinda have to be willing to kill someone atleast at some point during the last few games since they are all about betrayal
@@shawbag11 I agree.
I feel like Ls sense of justice and morality might hinder him in the games. Early light might also be hindered by this, but Light later in the series has a very messed up sense of justice, so probably wouldnt hinder him much.
Then again, 456 won, and he also was very merciful.
I mean light still never actuly killed anyone cus he always used the death note. its one thing using that magic notebook to kill people its another thing to strangle them yourself like what would need to happen in the final game.
@@shawbag11 it’s still very much murder, he just didn’t have to physically do it himself
@@sunsetskye483yes but the psychological damage would be lessened
Seth wasn't joking when he said late 2021 Seth would release bangers...
Yeah. I really hope he continues making these types of videos.
If L was not allowed sugar in the final meal, Light could tire him out mentally throughout the night and finally when the battle begins, he could fight for a while before dropping the news that he was The killer, and then get him out of the squid game ring while he is distracted for a split second... Would only work if the shooters aren't disrupted by L's team but I can see Light winning.
Yeah or he could use the death note and have the girl attack L injuring him
@@unknownchicken2284 Nope, the rules of the Death Note dictate that any request for an individual to harm or attempt to kill another individual through a forced command will result in a heart attack for that person cancelling out the command.
If you think it was that easy why wouldn't Light just make his dad shoot L?
@@maylabrown4584 Took the words out of my mouth good response
L is stronger than Light
@@nicolasa4life True, but considering that L is a full grown adult and Light is only a teenager isn't saying much, give the same amount of years in training as L and he'd stomp in a physical fight.
Boxing > Capoeria IMO
Gotta say, it would be kind of funny if Light just had the death note with him while playing squid game
Yes game set and match

My favorite part of these videos are the hyper realistic stories that he concocts in order to set up the actual question of the video. Seth would be a great writer

@@blackopspro6455 if he has an ao3 account, i’d binge the hell out of it
I’m not even gonna lie these are EXTREMELY entertaining.
Just two thought provoking scenarios you could involve death note in.
1. If Miles Edgeworth was in Death note could he solve the Kira case
2. if Light or L were in Daganronpa how would they fair?
I mean, isnt L just a much better version of Kirigiri? Kirigiri is the Ultimate detective, In Japan, while L is the worlds best.
I do believe Light and L would die in Danganronpa. Light would be so smart, that everyone would think he's the mastermind or the culprit. He would get voted and everyone except the culprit would die. gg
@@denisucuuu or, he could so smart, that he would prove to everyone, who the real culprit is, with evidence. Same can be said, with L. So no, they wouldn’t be die. If they died, it would be some bullshit excuse to just get rid of them.
@@denisucuuu the only people that could possibly outsmart those two would be Junko (which is unlikely) or Izuku (which wouldn’t be surprising since he’s basically ultimate everything)
@@milesl-worth3300 Nagito would be a wild card, cause everything he does is up to luck, and that just makes him unpredictable, even for Light and L.
I feel like the 1st game could catch light off guard enough to move a bit or take a step back and kill him, L on the other hand is a stoic beast so I'm sure he'd probably win
Glazing
Going into this, L and Light are massively OP in terms of intelligence when compared to the characters of the squid game. Sort of feel like this is just a smart view generator of a video, and I respect the grind. Interested in what Seth will have to to say about it tho.
And there it is. The reason for me to finally finish the series

Both scale to outerversal
I wldnt be surprised if L & Kira already knew Korean. L seems like the type to learn the language of any where that had a case that he even slightly pondered
man what a great video I love all the scenarios that took place good times
As much as I love L, Light is better at concocting and successfully pulling off a scheme under stressful situations. He’d be far better at manipulating and sacrificing people for his own personal gain. And I know L is good at tennis, but as far as I know Light trumps L’s physical strength as it is mentioned he is also a prodigy in sports.
L is definitely more Skilled though. Being as he's proficient in martial arts. So it really depends on how much stronger Light is compared to L. Which IMO is not enough to give the fight to Light... As for critical thinking under pressure, manipulating, and sacrificing goes: 1 It would be more like 50/50 on Critical thinking. 2 Light would be the better manipulator. 3 It would either be 50/50, or L's apathetic nature would propel him passed Light on the subject of sacrificing people. At least in my opinion because Light still trusts others as little of trust as it may be. Since he chooses to rely on others. Which IIRC is what caused the ending of "Deathnote". Whereas L only lets others in on the information because his hands are sort of tied considering he does have to somewhat follow the laws being that he's technically a "public servant". Unlike Light who literally views himself as god... So I'd say they are about 50/50 on the mental warfare, but L takes the cake in any physical altercation...
Just my two cents lol.
Did you even watch the video before commenting?
@@vietcongwarlord6931 The way YT's comment section works I do not know if you're replying to me, or the other person lol. If you mean me. Yes I watched it lol. IDK if the other person did, or not. But I think the other person disagrees with Seth, and thinks Light is physically, and mentally stronger. So I voiced my thoughts on the matter lol,
@@michaelblakely952 I’m replying to the other guy.
@@michaelblakely952 light didn't trust mikami, he just had no better option.
That realistic sense of genius they have is what makes it so awesome
I actually think that the ending would be more like so: Light tries to kill L, but fails. L, instead of actually pushing Light out of bounds, would simply fight Light until he submits, and at that point offers to vote to end the game. Light would then have the choice of voting to end or to take his own life, and would vote to end and try to lie / manipulate his way out of any admission of guilt afterwards. There would still be scheming and plausible deniability at play so I think there'd be room to have a more interesting ending to the Kira case.
Seeing how smart l and light is im pretty sure that they would be the last two person competing against each other
Idk about the part with the marble game... how could they have deduced that they would compete against each other beforehand? In most cases they would choose each other as partners(good kira and L)
@@YGOHermit you really underestimating l
The Squid games don’t test your intelligence lol, the chances of them winning are quite low honestly IF they don’t know the games beforehand
@@Legend-gv2nx I think the only game that this idea applies to will be the glasses game since they might choose a number that would give them a disadvantage.
Perfect timing. I’m actually rewatching Death Note with my sister right now. This is my 6th time and her 2nd time. I think I have a problem.
Can't be worse then me 🤣
Those are rookie numbers
I love rewatcing it with people watching it for the first time but it's so hard to not be like "yo he's boutta do some crazy shit"
@Searchlight T What do you see that's wrong?
I love just putting death note on whenever I have nothing else to watch/play so I’m probably on my 15th viewing :) either you don’t have a problem or we all have a problem
I don't really see Light going forward with the final game against L, while there's probably some Justice reasons like not wanting to kill people under the ruleset he deems as evil but I also don't think Light would go into something like this unless he was near absolutely certain he could win.
L on the other hand I could see being the one to make an excuse to play the game as a means of testing Light and see how he acts when being pushed and if he'll reveal himself. Or perhaps intentionally lose and see Lights reaction before then disarming the one of the guards before taking them hostage, buying as much time as need be for the task force to get there, either that or be playing the game with Light the whole time until the task force arrived if they weren't to arrive sooner which they honestly probably could.
I dont beleave Light would actuly be capable of killing someone without using the death note. i mean in the entire show he only kills people by writeing there name he never actuly kills someone with his own hands. the only way to win squid game would be to get violent epseicly in the final game and i just dont think he would be able to do that.
How creative, the effort and ingenuity that went into this is something else - quality presentation and theorizing! Hope we see many more like it, there are some awesome suggestions in the comments (like Ace Attorney, Detective Conan, etc) and my personal favorite would be to see how L and Light would take on a crossover with Naoki's 'Monster'
I always imagined that L would go and actually play the game whilst Light took the place of the Korean cop. Eventually finding everyone except Il nams name and writing everyone in the death note, maybe including L.
I think you reversed Light and L's positions since Light is the master manipulator which will make him a perfect player for the game while L is the best detective which will definitely fit with the "cop trying to know about the organization" role.
3:33 this wouldn't make sense, because in Squid Game, one of the VIPS says something along the lines of "the games in Korea are the best", which insinuates that the Squid Games are a world-wide phenomenon. That they don't happen in Korea every year, but Korea's just one of the localities, like the olympics. This would also make sense because, since the police & Korean government don't seem to be involved, 100s of people disappearing in a short period of time every year would almost certainly be investigated & draw in undue media attention.
It just makes more sense that the games happen everywhere around the world, probably annually.
I haven’t watched squid game, but from that statement I think it would make more sense if they were saying the games in Korea are the best *because squid games happens in Korea*
@@Miloeren12 But then why would they specifically say "the games in Korea".....if the games only happened in Korea then it wouldn't make sense why they would say that
@@BAEHELPJAYDO because the “squid game” isn’t the only type of game, there are other games played such as checkers. I don’t think they were reffering specifically to the squid games I think they were talking about which games we play in general
@@Miloeren12 The term Squid Game is a term for a collective of Games, if you watch the show they don't just play 1 type of Game and Also the VIP never said "the squid games" he just said "the games in Korea" so yes that implies there are other games around the world
@@BAEHELPJAYDO your first point is my entire point, I’m saying your logic doesn’t follow. If he specified squid games in Korea were the best that would certainly mean that there are squid games at other locations.

Its surprising how the whole world would watch K drama or K series. It is good to see how far they have gone with their media. Makes me feel like a proud parent.
unironically one of the best videos youve done man
Great video Seth, love this idea. Really fun to watch

Really? Cus I've been seeing people ask this question constantly...
I think L could pretty easily, Light on the other hand is pretty prone to random morality crises and anxiety attacks.
Maybe with the Death Note and after being Kira for a bit Light would be a bit more capable, but base-form Light is too kiddy.
Base light didn't make as many mistake as Kira light
@@GANGSTARSWAGS what is even your comment? Base light didnt make mistakes because he wasnt aware that he was kira. How can he make mistakes if he genuinely does what he is doing. And thats stopping kira
@@kc_h7h first mistake was making L locate him in Japan all he had to do was literally nothing but he wanted to prove a point and him doing so had him being targeted and invegestigated..not only that he's an emotional reck when it comes to certain aspects..evil light had everything in motion his only downfall was putting trust in others which lead to his demise
@@GANGSTARSWAGS people always like to bring up the first mistake when L could locate him but i don't think that one really counts.
Light didnt knew L existed. People who arnt L never would have come up with that plan. Light didnt even know there was somewone with that intellect. When L located him light wasn't even scared. He was mad but then he accepted the challenge. A challenge with somewone who finally matches his intellect. Light couldn't make a mistake if he didnt knew somewone like L was after him
@@kc_h7h Light did make a mistake though. He had no reason to kill the fake L when broadcasted because Light’s main goal was to kill the bad guys. Him killing the prisoner showed his first major mistake that gave L a nice edge. Not only did it show his location, but it also showed how the death note somewhat worked, and that the killer, Light had an ego. If Light was actually smart, he would’ve waited later on after the broadcast to kill the fake L on the news broadcast. He had his name and face, and if Light had killed the fake L later on rather than falling into L’s obvious trap, it would’ve thrown L and the whole spk and police force off track. But Light was arrogant and underestimated a detective, so it was obviously a mistake and was definitely avoidable.
This is great, strays far enough from the canon that it is clearly a hypothetical but still a joy to hear
I would gladly read a fanfiction like this that goes into more detail
what a fun video. thanks for putting it together!
Other than the glass bridge, I don't see why they wouldn't be able to survive if they played their cards right.
The glass bridge is just about luck unless if you can tell the difference in between the different types of glass and even if you do, the game master won't simply let you as we saw in the show.
Not gonna lie I believe that they would find their own clever way in glass bridge that wouldn't really go against rules
@@worthyedge9307 if you keep your dalogona from the sugar game, you get a free lifeline
@@eddie-zu7kg yep. And a marble
Not to mention a possible use of clothes.
Yea L and Light would definitely gigachad through squid game
Don’t see how they would both pass the marble game, they would likely choose each other and then one of them would die
@@Legend-gv2nx that is a good argument if they don't have prior knowledge about the game (which is likely). But just for benefit of the doubt, I believe that in the situation already presented, L would also have a possibility of choosing the old man rather than Light in order to observe him. Just a possibility tho.

I love this fanfic, thank you so much for sharing!
This is extremely creative man keep up the good work!
L dies, Light wins the game but wait...
Aizen holding out Suigetsu: This was all an illusion.
Light: ... WTF!
Aizen jokes are never old lmao
Dude, impeccable timing.
I was just thinking back about the "Batman vs Kira" video, and how I'd love to watch another one like that, right now.
Edit: Also, really liked the effect for when the notes/manga panels popped up, it fits the video really well.
Such a creative comparison! 🔥🔥
Thank you so much I loved this!
I didnt know I wanted to see a video like this til I got the notification and Seth always makes theoretical scenarios like this really entertaining to listen to
I literally binge watched Squid Games just so I could watch this. Then I got so confused when I couldn't find it. Glad you reuploaded it!!
I didn't know I needed this, but wow I did! LOL thanks for this creative thought exercise!
I love when you do death note videos, they are so entertaining
Welp. Guess I gotta go watch Squid Game before this. Hours of TV to enjoy one Seth video in it's full? Worth.
Just a thought on the marble game, if I remember correctly, they said you had to take the marbles from your opponent, not specifically “your partner”, so even if L and Light did partner for this, I’m sure L would notice the phrasing and have him and Light go for another couple that also wants both people to survive, like the husband and wife. So instead they do a 2v2 game with the marbles where Light and L win so they both get 20 marbles each. Obviously this falls apart if they specially said “you have to take all marbles from your partner”
GREAT VIDEO!! I love your death note videos
Insane deduction seth, keep it up
it's always a good day when Seth drops a 30 minute video.
Can't wait till you start busting out Bleach Videos next year when the TYBW arc drops.
This was actually really accurate to what I was thinking aswell before the video. Great deduction once again Seth.
This is sick! The makers of Squid Game should make this a series! I'd watch it!!!!
This was so thorough and fire 🔥
If only one of them participate at a time, they each respectively solo the verse, EASY. Light is manipulative and ruthless, while L is hyper competitive and would more than likely predict every single game on some god tier shit.
If they participate in the same game, I would have to put money on Light actually winning it all. He has a more likable personality, and would probably find a means of dealing with L in the mid to late game, especially when he will be able to recruit more people. While Light will be devoting his efforts to actually, L will more than likely use a lot of his time attempting to figure out the people behind the game.
Fantastic job, thank you
This is one of the most interesting videos ive watched in a while.
Although it would have been perfect if you simply changed the player count from 456 to 458 to account for the new players so they could have at least interacted.
L would basically be the old guy in the end with watari as the creator
Squid game to find out who Kira is, as like when L used the fake messages on Light to test him
This was a fun "What if" scenario. Great video
Most likely yes, but the luck based segments might kill them off surprisingly. So you can't fully write them off as winners so easily. Given how other contestants might react to either of the two as well, you have to factor in the backstabbing as well. Now it's not likely both Light and L will partake at the Game at the same time, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do.
Overall a very fun and intriguing video you made there Seth. Keep that shit coming, bruh!
can the minors survive 10 minutes in seths bed is a cool idea
💀
If L "WAS OUT OF CHARACTER", he would ruthlessly win. Otherwise, He would most likely devise a way for both him and LIGHT to Die and Arrange for an innocent to survive. Reasoning is simple. L is not concerned about dying, or the concept of death and is more than willing to justify his own death or the death of an adversary if it means saving innocents, either way he would "win the bout between he and light". Light however compulsively tries to survive, due to his god complex and becomes increasingly erratic and childish the more he is cornered, leaving room for L to resolve to remove him from the equation.
So that means that maybe Sae-byok (misspelled sorry) could actually win the game because of L in the last couple scenes (let’s pretend glass never hit her which it shouldn’t have in the first place)
@@anotherstranger1273 Fr, how you gonna kill your top competitor with sloppy shooting and game clean-up? ._.
@@anotherstranger1273 exactly, pls that saebyeok thing was such bs, she obviously was the best candidate for winning, what a lousy way to get rid of her just to make it a 1vs1 between childhood friends
@@anotherstranger1273 That and L might be more keen on noticing the explosives that shatter the glass, I'm sure with his experience with terrorists will make him well aware of the possibility hidden bombs and likely noticing consistencies in the bridge
Which case he'd probably be able to avoid her being within the trajectory of the glass
@@imppie3754 I dunno about her being the best candidate to win. The best candidate to win would be Sang Woo, the motherfucker who did everything necessary to win.
Great story. I enjoyed how you melded roles like Matsuda trailing them.
I'm probably gonna go watch death note again....
this is a great what-if, nicely done!
Love the analysis
I mistakenly clicked on this and it was a new seth video, NICE
Before watching the video: I think the answer is obviously yes for both of them, assuming they're put in the exact same position to start off as Gi-Hun was. Obviously both of them are way too intelligent and manipulative and competent to end up in his financial situation, but we can put that aside for the purposes of the question. Both of them are expert manipulators, and have no hesitation or remorse in killing people, especially for their own survival. Also, both of them are so much more intelligent than the other characters that it's not even funny. Light and L both have way better sleight of hand skills and whatnot than anything displayed in the show. Both characters are also physically fit and can fight. Obviously some of the death games are a matter of luck (especially the glass tile game), but it can be mitigated with strategy. In the marble game, they could get their partner to agree to a game that is solely based on skill rather than probability or guesswork, so that one is fine. The first death game is easy for them, and they are both mentally tough enough and steely to avoid flinching once people are shot. Also, if tug-of-war was winnable for the protagonist's team, Light and L would both have won as well, ignoring any changes in team selection strategy they might have made. They might've both realized not to choose a partner they didn't want to kill (which in their case is no one lol), since it would be too straightforward. They would've been fine surviving being attacked at night. They would've both low-diffed the sugar honeycomb and marble games, obviously. The glass tile game is the only time I could possibly see either of them dying. But if they are both given Gi-Hun's plot armor and luck (for fairness), they would survive. Hell, Light's luck on his own in Death Note is arguably superior to Gi-Hun's luck. Strategy and psychological manipulation in that situation wouldn't be a problem for them either obviously. Neither of them would even fall asleep at night after the dinner before the final game. They would both probably do well in the physical combat in the final game of Squid. So yeah they probably both easily win.
Actually speaking of anime characters in Squid game, I couldn't help but keep constantly thinking about how many shounen anime characters would effortlessly beat squid game. That's even barring their regen/durability/strength/speed advantages in terms of being able to straight-up tank or dodge or regen from gunshots and whatnot. Like JoJo characters would destroy this... stupidly broken stands aside, there are many creative ways to use many of the utility stands (like hermit purple's spirit photography). Naruto characters (even if you restrict ninjutsu and genjutsu since that's cheating) can use stuff like the Sharingan or Sage mode, which would make characters OP in Squid game, since they could see clearly in the dark and probably tell which glass is tempered, for example. DBZ characters aren't relevant here obviously. But in my opinion by far the most interesting crossover would be Yu-Gi-Oh lol. If you've read the original yugioh manga (especially the first 59 chapters) or watched "Season 0," it is fairly obvious that Atem would no-diff the whole thing (even without his luck manipulation abilities). His whole MO in the manga is playing mundane death games with people and winning creatively even when they are completely rigged. Hell, it's even in the name of the series (since Yu-Gi-Oh translates to "Game King" or "King of Games"). He's never lost a game, much less a death game obviously. Even if you get rid of Atem, and don't even allow use of the Millenium Puzzle (including turning it into a Yami no Game to prevent cheating, or using its luck manipulation to help), Yugi on his own has been stated to never have lost a game lol. Plus he surpasses Atem by the end of the series. So normal Yugi Muto would also win. Like Squid Game is eerily similar to Death-T from the yugioh manga, and most of Atem's Yami no Games are either harder or more intense than these death games. Similar in style too. I think if you restrict supernatural physical powers but keep them in character, Atem and Yugi actually do the best in Squid Game of any famous shounen anime characters.
Great video !
top 5 youtubers of all time. ive basically grown up watching your vids
There’s always one challenge where even the best can lose and that is … Tug Of War
