    Fun fact: In the manga Mikami didn't commit suicide and instead he yelled at Light, "YOU'RE NOT GOD!!!", and Light grew desperate after being shot by Matsuda he began begging Ryuk to kill everyone, but Ryuk took that request as Light truly losing, and killed Light in that moment
    Also Near becomes the new L, the new L logo is half Near's logo half the original L's logo, and Near now has a Watari like the original L, eats chocolate like Mello and continued to play with toys

      I think it was not just the fact that Light had absolutely lost in that moment, but also that he had ceased being fun. To Ryuk he was only ever a source of amusement- and someone who can't do anything anymore without you bailing them out isn't amusing.

      I used to agree with this strongly, and I still do, but then it leaves me with the small question of “What about the snapshots in Misa’s Ep 25 sequence where we see names and lifespans of passerbys, as if she still had the Shinigami eyes?”
      And I don’t expect an answer from you or anyone about it, it could easily be the audience being tricked, it’s just something I’ve noticed the last few times I’ve watched Ep 37 reactions.

    The L funeral extra scene is worth watching

  • @willfanofmanyii3751
    @willfanofmanyii3751 Місяць тому +14

    The anime didn't include the series epilogue.
    The police issued a public statement that Kira had been killed, and that Light and his father had died in the process. Near cut contact with the suqad and refused to answer on what he had done with the Death Notes. As the months pass, the crime rate rapidly increased to even worse than before Light became Kira, prompting Matsuda and the squad to suggest Light was right all along.

    • @kaseyines

      Damn, that's rough, but unsurprising. Criminals went from cowering in the shadows to suddenly having _somewhat_ free reign again. Obviously there is still police presence and the usual day-to-day justice system, but there'd 100% be an _insane_ spike in crime once news of Kira's death came.

  • @Cackman

    I think people have too much sympathy for Misa. Yes, she was controlled and manipulated by Light but you have to remember that before she had even met him she used her Death Note to kill completely innocent newscasters just to prove a point. She deserved death just as much as Light.

      Not only that , but the fact that Near said he made a whole fake notebook perfectly in a night makes no sense. Since we know Mikami checked it every day for any signs of imperfections, having that short of time to create a whole notebook would mean there would be obvious signs of it being tampered so Mikami wouldve known the notebook was taken from the bank. 15:31 for the time if yall are wandering what I'm talking about .

    "Halfway up the stairs." Neither ascending to heaven nor descending to hell, stuck in the middle for all eternity.
    From Misa's perspective, she's just discovered that she'd been manipulated and gaslit not just by the man she loved, who was just killed, but by the god she thought he was. She definitely walked off the ledge.

  • @JaimeAGB-pt4xl
    @JaimeAGB-pt4xl Місяць тому +4

    Sooooo Yeah.... Light lost Only because Mikami screwed Up big time (the only person he trusted willingly), and Near was inferior to L but Mello's contributions to the case were Super important...
    As a Kira supporter (the type that even N recognized in ep31st as good people), Ur not meant to emphatize/sympathize with Light's methods.... But, you can support his ideals for what he perceives a New/Better world can be, AND accept that losses/sacrifices are necessary to accomplish that goal, While being amussed with his Genuis intellect and mainly his confrontations with L (still sad to see him gone every time, as well as Chief)... This is why, although Light Yagami was right, the moment he started killing those against him and perceived himself as a god (Kira) ... he was wrong
    Light explained it clearly in Ep2 anyways, he is just willing to commit to the idea because he has the Tool and Will to accomplish the vision, and at the end of the day He Got Results done (70% reduced crime rate globally), meantime most people are just glad about what happens while they get to put on an altruistic face...
    And like it or not... Light is an Amazing character that got you and everyone engaged in the story... But remember, every time U/anybody wish a person died or are indifferent towards someone's death because they did/were someone U disliked (kinda like ... Light) ... U were actually a Kira supporter, even if just for a moment...
    PS: Hopefully you consider reading the Minoru manga sequel which is about Post-Kira world (though short, a worthy sequel in my opinion, specially as a social experiment). Take care ✌🏻👍🏻

    • @onsnoreleave8674
      @onsnoreleave8674 Місяць тому +1

      Idk man I think as soon as Light starts killing "people who don't contribute to society" his ideals are way below righteous. His methods aren't sound either. Using cult websites to report people to Kira seems like modern day witch trials and even without that, Light definitely killed a good amount of wrongly incarcerated people, which is one of the main reasons why so many people are against the death penalty. Besides, just hearing him talk about himself makes him hard to get behind. As a character who's fun to root for, sure but even without the Death Note this dude is just rotten and manipulative.

      she only killed 2 reporters and the cops at Sakura TV to get Lights attention. After that she didnt kill anyone until regaining her memory, and we see her reaction to it. She had a brainwashed look in her eyes and sung that song that essentially said "i know too much and i will have to die one day" She killed 8 criminals that we know of after gaining her memory, so 15 at most.

The second has a lot more new scenes but is still just a condensed retelling of everything after the Mello arc.

    It's weird, I don't remember Misa ever standing on the edge, it was like my brain completely swapped the scenes. For some reason I remembered the scene as her being finally free from Kira and anything related to that and that she simply hasn't learned her place in the new reality without Kira yet and was staring in horizon with wonder.
    It's just she doesn't have memories of doing the killings via Death Note, and yet she has all of the remaining lifespan that she got from two different Shinigamis who sacrificed their lives for her (even though she halved her lifespan twice it should even out). We have to remember that all death in the universe still happens because of someone writing the name of a person in the Death Note, and without a mortal like Kira doing it, it's done by Gods of Death in their realm when it's time for a person to die. And I just don't see how Misa would decide to end it there without having memories of what she has done because technically she doesn't have free will. Unless somehow being a former user of Death Note made her break free from the normal rules and she could make that decision despite having all those Shinigami years ahead of her.
