@@notjeff7833 I guess that makes sense, but I just consider nears win illigetiment cus no way in hell someone could copy the hundreds of thousands of names written in that deathnote in 24 hours, especielly in a foreign language.

@@sodpati4182 actually the names being written down was explained in c kira story. Gevanni and rester only filled in 20-30 pages to give the illusion of making a copy so that near can show that to the npa at a distance. In reality, near had used the real notebook to manipulate mikami's actions. That's why mikami (in the manga) died 10 days later in prison due to "mysterious" circumstances. As for getting inside the vault, the anime confirmed gevanni had the keycard copy to mikami's vault. He had also lockpicked mikami's deathnote hiding place before as well do doing that would be fairly easy. As for how he bypassed the employees or alarm system, there are several theories. Most realistic one is that he paid off some employees to access the vault or use Interpol's authority to demand entry stating that the individual who's locker he's investigating is a suspect in a robbery/murder/heist anything. It's theorized (however not confirmed) that death note was supposed to end early on in volume 7 but even if that were to happen, light and L both would've died with L winning against light. This is covered in the original live action death note: the last name. Ending the series with light surviving would be an insult to one of the greatest forshadowings in manga/anime history "In the end.... I'll be the one writing your name down"
@@notjeff7833 Yeah, I guess thats true, I would argue more saying it was all Mikamis fault and that light should have won but in the end, Light should have accounted for Mikami messing up. Making Mikami send the names to Misa or just leaving a spot blank to wright in Lights name in case everyone does not die in 40 seconds would save Light but he underestimated Near way too much.
L won in the main timeline. He knew Whammy's House existed, so why would he name Light his successor, especially given he was always suspicious of Light. The answer was to put him in a state where he was forced into vulnerability. By forcing Light to take up the mantle of L, be became target number one for Near, despite all the information being erased. Edit: Another point. L won because, unlike Light, he wasn't narcissistic. He was willing to sacrifice his life to make Light think the game was over, without considering that L's own death was a trap.
@Sans I don't think he actually predicted it coming. He did seem genuinely shocked when Watari died. But he made a safeguard in case it did happen. The difference between Light and L is L imagines it's possible for him to fail. He just makes backup plans in case he does.
In all the analyses I’ve seen i never thought of Light’s succession of L as a trap and that’s a great point. Light states that L was just fishing for a reaction with that proposal but Matsuda and others still reiterate it after his death nonetheless. I don’t think L planned it but it’s no doubt a key reason why Light got caught.
@@Timelordbeast14 I think that is the difference between the two. L does hate to lose, but he can also see the bigger picture beyond himself. He saw the potential that he MIGHT lose, so he prepared for it.
It's not that they didn't believe it, but didn't want to believe it. They all got hints and itching feelings that Light was the odd one out, considering how invested he was in a case he basically had no business in. He's a kid who's supposed to be getting more education or getting some job experience, not diving into criminal cases tasked for the police force. That's not taking into account all the diversions Light setup in order to point towards multiple suspects. L making Light the next L was a genius move in order to weigh Light down with more responsibility. Knowing that Near and Mello wont be fooled by this switch, Light was basically back to square one and had even less control over his situation.
@@wingman2h Greatest detective reckons some High-school graduate is the greatest serial killer. Capable of committing his crimes far beyond physical means all while having no admissible motive or means. Yeah great. If anything why the hell was L never accused of being Kira? He even admits that the profile he has for Kira is the same as his own (hates losing etc). Some rich elusive detective that's been saving governments for years and ties to multiple agencies. Surely he cannot be the one behind it all? But seriously, can you imagine any serious discussion between L and ANY stakeholders about how his prime suspect is some 18yr old without any solid evidence? Yeah not great. Even with solid proof I doubt anyone would buy it.

@@peaceful2701 yeah he really did used people he could have done better and ask them for help at least people L doesn't know about yet and ask them for help
L writes that he will die in 23 days in a traffic accident, But he stays away from traffic on day 23 and goes to a hospital in which the doctors are ready to revive him after he has a heart attack. Technically he "died" but doctors were able to bring him back with a couple pulses. L writing his name in the deathnote prevented Light from killing L, Since Light couldn't kill L, L was able to defeat Light by trapping him in the act of thinking he won but failing to win. Kind of like how he tells his victims "i'm kira" before winning. Only L states that his death was already determined catching Light in the act of celebrating a false victory.
Would be a heck of a cheat, but I'm pretty sure the Death Note precludes such willful attempts to avoid the specified death. L would write in that he dies of a traffic accident, promptly avoid streets with cars, be sitting in a park reading a novel when an air plane randomly nails him due to an *accidental* air *traffic* direction or something.
Except if you write someone’s name and then the cause of death, the person gets controlled and dies in that way, therefore L cannot ‘stay away from traffic’. Moreover, if someone forced L to not go into traffic, he’ll just die of a heart attack as the cause of death is impossible. Also if the death note wants you dead, you can’t get ‘revived’ by doctors
Right? Write out the best death you could possibly think of. In like (insert time limit here) you live the best life you possibly can, get to tell everyone you're going to die, succeed in everything you've ever wanted (that'd physically possible of course) and that you die peacefully and happy in the end.
Finally someone talking about this movie. It's probably not canon but I've seen it and i like it because in every adaptation of death note, light is able to indirectly kill L, except this one. For those of yall who don't get it, L realises light is going to kill him so he writes his name in the death note beforehand with a condition that it happens in 23 days. Then he fakes his death. Light's father also had a role to okay in this, he doesn't die in the movie too. Ultimately, L survives and light and misa are caught. Another thing, there is a sequel to this movie as well, named L: Change the World which according to me is a must watch for all death note fans because it has so many Easter eggs for the actual death note. This movie takes place in L's last 23 days. Also, there is another movie, plus a drama, set in the same universe. I don't remember the name tbh and it's not as good as the previous movies but people should watch these because it's fun to explore this "what if" scenario.
@@masterofalltrades_ tbh i don't know but you can look them up, they're pretty cool. They establish a whole universe with four movies and one drama. The fourth movie and the drama aren't very good (because they introduced some new and un-needed characters) but the first three movies are great
I mean L still beat Light. L forced Light to depend on someone else to kill him off because it was the only way Light would've beat him, a tactic Light would continue to use well after L's death. Light depending on others to do his dirty work is exactly what got him caught by Near.
ay bro just admit L lost, it was still lights plan that got him killed and I seriously doubt L was able to deduce the whole rem being obsessed with misa part so L was the loser. imo near was handed everything he got and had to pull a literal miracle by rewriting the book in a single day.
@@baboosethegreat9245 L won by proxy, he forced light to take the mantle of L despite knowing that there were definitely others who could take his place (n and mel) which put L at the head of all suspects list despite them having ZERO data from the entire investigation
@@DarthRane113 Maybe that would be fair if they didnt rewrite the whole note book in a single day which is literally impossible, it wasn’t even an actual over sight by light it was just kinda a boring way of giving near the win. I still love the ending tho it was pretty good besides that.
@@baboosethegreat9245i actually don't have that much of an issue with the time frame the notebook isn't that thick and it's a lot faster to to copy provided information. My. Issue comes with the fact that it's supposed to be a replica meaning they imitated his handwriting.
@Ninjaslayergod The Death Note has limits, and he had to put the Shinigami's in position to help him they weren't going to unless he forced their hand like he did with Rem by putting Misa in danger intentionally. Those "advantages" were very limited if you ask me.
@@GregSmithIII still bro remember when L sended fbi agents to spy light? At that time too ryuk told him someone is following u at that time If Ryuk had not told Light about those agents, Light would have been caught.
If you think about it, Rem only died because L was about to have Light and Misa convicted by testing the 13 day rule. Misa had 15 days left to live based on the lifespan you can see above her head. Meaning she was most likely going to die just to avoid capture.
Makes sense, and Misa would have gotten all of Rems remaining lifespan. Here's another theoretical twist that literally just came to my mind. Rem has already killed a person with undetermined lifespan for misa when she was flirting with "new kira" Mr. Higuchi, so this lifespan was most likely not near zero, and we know Rem doesn't hesitate much to kill. This lifespan could be huge. Would she spend half an infinity in prison? That would not make sense because her crimes were clearly crimes of passion which she doesn't even remember as long as she doesn't have possession of a book. Did Light actually stage his own death as an ultra villain just to give Misa an almost eternal life???
fun fact there was actually a live-action film inside film it is revealed that L actually faked his death and managed convince people that he was dying even spoke with ryuk and told him that he was going to burn the Death Note
@@lloyd1k211re are 3 live action movies Death Note: The First Name Death Note: The Last Name L: Change The World(Death Note Spin-off) There are also 2 movies of the anime Death Note Rewrite: The Visualizing God (part 1 and 2)
Im guessing the only way this could have happened was if L wrote in the death note- “kill me only after i kill Light” or something. That way it would seal his death for sure and there would be nothing Light could do to change how he would die. That’s the only way he would have given himself enough time to kill light or defeat him
Nah, there is something called the 23 day rule. A person can set their death on any particular date as long as it is less than or equal to 23 days from the day of writing. Death Note can only operate within 23 days (in the human calendar). This is called the 23 day rule. The Death Note cannot kill a person less than 780 days old, a person over 124 years of age, a person with less than 12 minutes of life left, or a person whose death is set for a date or time that exceeds their original lifespan. So L must've written his name and set the date for the last date possible and then somehow managed to catch Kira.
@@Adi26A It’s in a novel, he uses the 23 day rule and writes his own name in the Death Note. Then he does what he did in the anime/manga where he test Lights fake 13 day rule but light kill’s himself instead so that L could never really solve the case
@@Adi26A that rule only exists in the life action movies though. In the manga it says that you can kill a person with the death note at any point in the future, the only limit being their natural lifespan, you can not write that they die later than they were going to die naturally.
@@nessyness5447 The 23 day rule is in the anime. It's the exact reason Near waited 23 days to confront Light after Gevanni touched the death note. To be sure he wasn't being controlled by the shinigami mikami might have had guarding it. Light even says directly. "You can't control someone's entire life with the death note. You can only control them up to 23 days." The only exception to the 23 day rule is a death by illness that would take longer than 23 days to manifest and kill that person, in which case there is no set time. It will take as long to happen as it would without the death note causing it.
For those who are interested in that whole story arc it's the original live action movie trilogy. They cut the series into two films and then finish with the film L change the world ❤ I grew up watching these on UA-cam in like 2006 and went to special theater screenings where we all got to cosplay
I seen something that I liked as an comment which is very true “It took 3 Kira’s to kill an genius and it took 3 Geniuses to kill an Kira’’ both L and light fought each other and was truly rivals until the end but that scene in the chopper was absolutely beautiful I can’t lie!!
There is a way in which L could have tricked light and survived, based on the knowledge of the canon. This is what we know : 1. In the manga/anime there is no limit for how long in the future you can write for someone's dead to happen in the death note,as far as it is before the end of their natural lifespan. 2. BB had the shinigami eye since birth and could see people's life span. 3. L stayed informed of bb's condition while he was locked up after the LA case, possibly visited him at least once to talk with him and try to understand why bb killed those people. So, what if bb told L that he could see people's lifespan?maybe told L exactly the date he could see above L's head to prove it? L would have probably just thought that BB was simply having hallucinations due to being insane. Until the shinigamis and shinigami eye were mentioned in the kira case, remembering bb's comments on seeing people's life span , of having a shinigami like eyesight, would explain better why L got so scared at it being mentioned by the second kira. Since the two cases were supposedly unconnected. And then, when finding the death note and that shinigami were truly real, he could have come to the conclusion that BB was actually telling the truth about seeing people's life span. And since L is believable that L would remember the date that BB told him was the end of his lifespan. So he would have just needed to write his own name before rem did it, writting that he would die just a day or hours before his natural time of dead. The only thing is that i am unsure if rem would have seen it when the lifespan changed, but maybe if L wrote himself to die just minutes or so before his original time, then rem would not have noticed such as small difference unless she truly focused on the numbers above L's head.
@@unknown_8588 technically, he only appears perse in the " another" novel. But canonically there are mentions at least in the manga. He was the killer of the LA case in which naomi worked with L, and one of the first wammy's kids trained to be L's sucesor. But he went mad after his friend ( A) commited suicide, and having shinigami eyes since birth didn't help. He went full on psychotic break and decided to basically blame L for all his problems and create a case that could not be solved, by making himself to be his own last victim. But he failed and was stopped by naomi and L, and put into a facility for the criminally insane. That was two years before the kira case and clearly L felt responsible for BB to some degree, It is implied that L must have visited him. And also, one of the reasons L takes it so personal with kira, is BB being one of Kira's first international victims. The nickname L uses for the kira case " ryuzaki",Is taken from the name BB used to approach naomi in LA , when he was going as " rue ryuzaki".
@@unknown_8588 in death note u would have noticed when L tells about Naomi that she worked with L in the Los Angeles BB murder case, i read it somewhere that BB was L's successor but since he can't handle the pressure he became a serial killer. There is also a noval called "Los Angeles BB murder case". That explains about the case and about who is BB.
There is a rule stating that you can't control someone's lifespan for more than 23 days. Also, the events of the novel are very ridiculous and not canon as neither Tsugumi ohba or takeshi obata worked on it and it has many unexplained inconsistencies (BB having shinigami eyes by birth is the biggest one because that is literally impossible. You need to be a death note owner in order to make the deal) the BB murder itself did happen but the events are unknown in the canon world
Would have been a great ending if Light would have killed all the Agents in the building then him bleeding out and ryuk write his name in the Deathnote. that way Kira is still a mystery to the world cause everyone that knew were all there in the building
Ya know how L could have won is by NOT discussing his plans right in front of Light and the two shinigami. Just pull a "Hey, let's not tell our two main suspects about how we plan on capturing them", and I'm pretty sure the kiras would have been locked away.
Before I saw other comments explain how, I thought he wrote something like “[L’s name] will die after he discovers who Kira is” But the actual explanation is way smarter
She also wouldn't have died, right? If L actually lived then Rem wouldn't have prevented Misa's death and she wouldn't have turned to sand. Unless I'm misunderstanding, that is. I haven't read Change the WorLd
Also never seen it. I don't know if it's different in this continuity but in the anime Rem also killed Watari. And while not nearly as big a threat as L he would have pursued Misa/Light and caused trouble for them. At the least he might have brought on Mello or near. So if Rem also killed Watari there it could have affected Misas life span and been a kill for the sake of preserving her life.
To be corrected L only sees it as a win if he is able to incriminate and expose light which Light knowing this killed light (himself)so light technically wins but it’s going from a technical standpoint of what we have been told(re reading I put Light killed L when I was meant to put light killed light in the spin off so changed it)
After reading the manga, i have my own fan theory that the series director, after reading it all, went like; Well, L is dead now, let´s rush the shit out of the rest. The good part is over."
L in movie has more personality rather than anime / manga. On that movie he can make Soichiro believe his son is Kira.. his word is more deep than the anime.. so people tend to believe him
Anime,manga and novel is different so in anime Yagami light won and thats fact.also in ep 37 light death is illogical he was doing his job very well, and the best moment was when he planned to refuce his death note.in last battle againsed Near who is not even close with L,he lost.he fully trusted mikami(that was not realy light habitual action,that was stupidity).
Still think the way light was caught at the very end was dumb . Can we agree ? A bunch of back and forth with L's successor who was only on an equal level as him when he was with his partner . So we have someone supposably half as good as L that barely did anything for the story be the one to prove light was Kira. The ending didn't feel earned in my opinion
The end was never supposed to happen😅 The series would have ended when light killed l but the producers pressured The author just for then "good guys" thing
This is why the musical adaptation lowkey has the best ending lol. Rem writes L's name into the death note and sacrfices herself, Misa loses her memories of the death note and kira, and after L dies, Light thinks he's won as there's no one left to figure out his identity, but this bores Ryuk, as there's no fun anymore without any opposition, so true to their agreement in the beginning, he writes Light's name into the death note, as he told him he would have the authority to do so whenever he wanted, and Light dies kicking and screaming, begging for his life, dying of the same anticlimatic heart attack that he killed so many with.
I find it weird how in canon alternate timelines exist, but heaven nor hell does? When people pass away in DN your soul either goes back to where it originated before you were born (which is known as the "nothingness"), or you become a shinigami (and seemingly live forever unless if you fail to write names down in your DN you'll turn to sand/dust). There's so much unexplored lore in DN it drives me fuckin' crazy!
the more interesting thing is that L knew that he will die and he already told about that to light [when Lsaid he can hear the sound of church] and he also left an email that light read when L died in which he said ; if any one read this meant i am died and he also that that it was his achievement that means he knew what happens after he dies and also he know that second L might be light cause he already fits in everyone in room by saying it Infront of them [lidht must be his successor] and by that his real successor that was near easily predict that light is kira . i thing L wins by losing the game
The amount of coping in this comment section “L won in death”, “L technically won since he knew he was right in the end”, “L won since his successor’s beat light” Bro just accept he lost 😭🙏 Most people just love L so much and will try to find anyway to say he won
That’s what happened in the 2006 Live Action movie. L: Change the World was another Live Action movie which was a sequel. Where L goes on other adventure before he dies.
L already won.. he just let N takes over the plan and he knows N can do it... But the adoptation has its own version called L change the world. He right his own name on death note and because of the rules if you right your own name on death note you will have 21 days to live and when other people try to right your name on death note it will not work.. in the adoptation ending L pretend he died, when Light wrote his name then Light revealed his true color not knowingly about L's plan
L DIES OF OLDNESS AT 299003817172729YEARS OLD WHILE HIS BODY WAS STILL LIKE HE WAS AT THE MOMENT HE WROTE HIS NAME (AND THIS IS HOW YOU BECOME IMORTAL AND NEVER BECOME OLD AND UGLY)
This Movie was part of a Life adaptation trilogy and you should give it a try. The actors of the main cast did a great job and the story itself had some interesting (mostly positive) changes. Its also good if you have a friend who would love the story of Death Note but doesn't like Anime
That’s actually rly smart. It’s a gamble because if he wrote a date after when he was supposed to die he would die immediately, but writing your name in the death note would make you immune to death note attacks if I’m remembering correctly
@@eureka2694 no, cuz if you write when you are supposed to die, writing a different way to die has no effect. For example, if L wrote he would die in 60 years and this was before he would die, then Light cannot kill him with a death note anymore.
Technically, even in that version of the story L lost. Light kills himself and makes the case technically unsolvable since he can’t be convicted, L even admits that he saw that scenario a loss to Light.
I did know it was the Japanese movie version. However, that title of L Change the World is actually a different movie where L solves an entirely different case while waiting for his death.
Uhm no bc didnt L die almost instantly? It took a hot minute for Light to start getting all excited so certainly L wouldnt have saw that cuz he was already dead at that moment?
Well, i believe he died because Ram dies after writing his nams meaning it worked. When L noticed he was going to die there is a scene where he goes to speak to Watari alone and he looks serious. Afterwards we see that Near had a lot of knowledge about what happened. There were many safety measures in place that Light would end up caught or dead.
I mean, the entire point of even the original Deathnote is that L beat Light in the end, even with his death. That’s why it shows Light symbolically in chains with L in the background multiple times afterwards. He “caught” him…and the results just had to play out.
I always thought that L could have made a deal with Rem to give Misa a life sentence instead of execution, in exchange for ratting out Light. L could have faked his death and Light never would have known. Light never found out his name, either. All you’d need is a pile of dirt to fool him into thinking Rem actually died, lmao From there, Light would incriminate himself, L swoops in with his evidence, done.
I always wondered how that would work, like if you just wrote your name and time of death as being like, 2000 years in the future, would you live that long? Or if it has to reduce your natural lifespan, if you were going to die in 90 days due to a stroke or something, and you wrote your name and date of death in 89 days, and then someone else tried to kill you with a gun or something, would reality bend to prevent you from dying until 89 days have passed? What if you like, jumped into a volcano which would definitely kill any normal person.
One of the rules of the Death Note is that it can only be used to shorten someone's life span and not extend it. Also my assumption is that the Death Note can't and doesn't prevent people from dying to non Death Note related events. However, writing your own name in a Death Note prevents others from being able to kill you with a Death Note.
It would’ve been cool if L wrote in the death note that he suffer a heart attack and ‘Kira’ would catch him as he fell to the ground. To that, he’d know for certain Light was Kira
Actually you die like how you wrote it, Misa wrote "Misa Amane dies in the hands of Light Yagami" but of course that's impossible so she dies of a heart attack.
The end of Death Note is so bad I think it's just give me depression. I was waiting for Light to kill everyone and then L would come back after faking his Death, convincing Watari to sacrifice himself, making a deal with Rem so that with Watari's death by Rem, Misa would still be saved, so that L could fake his death and watch Mellow and Neer battle Kira while L figures out for certain that Light is Kira, which he would figure it all out during the final episode when he reappears to Light and reveals his master plan which would flash back and reveal new things in every episode that we didn't know about that was all part of L's cunning. And then finally, L tells Kira his real name, but Light can't kill L because L has the real Death Note and L writes Light's name and kills him for all he's done. To me that was the real ending. But no, what we got was...well, it was the worst episode in the entire series in my opinion, and one of the worst endings I've ever experienced. But the journey was so good. It was actually genius how the writer made an ending so terrible. It was even worse than Dexter.
Slightly misrepresenting - in the second Japanese live action film, L writes that he will die in 23 days time, so when Rem attempts to kill L, it doesn't work because he had already written his own name in the death note. L: Changed the World is a spin off novel from this film, exploring what L did with his remaining time after catching Kira. (None of this shares continuity with the manga/anime)
That was one thing i didnt like i felt lime rem had other ways than to sacrifice his life i just felt like there was other ways plus rem sacrificing his life to puta misa life is a gamble because there would like be a successor to and at that point misa was still cleared out of supsion there was so many questions
I'm curious. Isn't one of the rules that if the same name is put in to two death notes that the first Death note used would be the one that dictates the death? Couldn't L of put his name in the Death Note that he dies at the age of 80, making him safe from dying from the death note?
L also killed Light in the Japanese live action (the one featuring Kinichi Matsuyama) by putting his own name in the note and by having his officers shoot Light...great adaptation in my opinion, should definitely watch it.
I would have loved if L instructed someone to put a hidden camera or microphone behind his grave so that it would pick up Light's insane gloating. Then he gets murked right after and taken in. Would have been a beautiful ending in my book. Way better than the one we got
Holy shit this actually sounds amazing
I imagine L coming out of the grave and saying "the chance of you being kira is now 9%"

In reality, near had used the real notebook to manipulate mikami's actions. That's why mikami (in the manga) died 10 days later in prison due to "mysterious" circumstances. As for getting inside the vault, the anime confirmed gevanni had the keycard copy to mikami's vault. He had also lockpicked mikami's deathnote hiding place before as well do doing that would be fairly easy. As for how he bypassed the employees or alarm system, there are several theories. Most realistic one is that he paid off some employees to access the vault or use Interpol's authority to demand entry stating that the individual who's locker he's investigating is a suspect in a robbery/murder/heist anything.
It's theorized (however not confirmed) that death note was supposed to end early on in volume 7 but even if that were to happen, light and L both would've died with L winning against light. This is covered in the original live action death note: the last name.
Ending the series with light surviving would be an insult to one of the greatest forshadowings in manga/anime history
"In the end.... I'll be the one writing your name down"
@@notjeff7833 Yeah, I guess thats true, I would argue more saying it was all Mikamis fault and that light should have won but in the end, Light should have accounted for Mikami messing up.
Making Mikami send the names to Misa or just leaving a spot blank to wright in Lights name in case everyone does not die in 40 seconds would save Light but he underestimated Near way too much.
L won in the main timeline. He knew Whammy's House existed, so why would he name Light his successor, especially given he was always suspicious of Light. The answer was to put him in a state where he was forced into vulnerability. By forcing Light to take up the mantle of L, be became target number one for Near, despite all the information being erased.
Edit: Another point. L won because, unlike Light, he wasn't narcissistic. He was willing to sacrifice his life to make Light think the game was over, without considering that L's own death was a trap.
I think the mere prospect of L having the foresight to make preparations for the event his own death grants him the win.
@Sans I don't think he actually predicted it coming. He did seem genuinely shocked when Watari died. But he made a safeguard in case it did happen. The difference between Light and L is L imagines it's possible for him to fail. He just makes backup plans in case he does.
In all the analyses I’ve seen i never thought of Light’s succession of L as a trap and that’s a great point. Light states that L was just fishing for a reaction with that proposal but Matsuda and others still reiterate it after his death nonetheless. I don’t think L planned it but it’s no doubt a key reason why Light got caught.
L is narcissistic. A little bit. He didn’t want to lose or be wrong. But he grew. So did light. Until you know. The thing
@@Timelordbeast14 I think that is the difference between the two. L does hate to lose, but he can also see the bigger picture beyond himself. He saw the potential that he MIGHT lose, so he prepared for it.
L played the game with a blindfold and not knowing what game they were playing and still nearly won.
U mean he was NEAR the win?
L knew that Light was Kira. He just failed to make everyone else believe it.
pretty stupid how no one believed the literal greatest detective but everyone believed near
@@wingman2h fr
It's not that they didn't believe it, but didn't want to believe it. They all got hints and itching feelings that Light was the odd one out, considering how invested he was in a case he basically had no business in. He's a kid who's supposed to be getting more education or getting some job experience, not diving into criminal cases tasked for the police force. That's not taking into account all the diversions Light setup in order to point towards multiple suspects.
L making Light the next L was a genius move in order to weigh Light down with more responsibility. Knowing that Near and Mello wont be fooled by this switch, Light was basically back to square one and had even less control over his situation.
@@wingman2h Greatest detective reckons some High-school graduate is the greatest serial killer. Capable of committing his crimes far beyond physical means all while having no admissible motive or means. Yeah great.
If anything why the hell was L never accused of being Kira? He even admits that the profile he has for Kira is the same as his own (hates losing etc).
Some rich elusive detective that's been saving governments for years and ties to multiple agencies. Surely he cannot be the one behind it all?
But seriously, can you imagine any serious discussion between L and ANY stakeholders about how his prime suspect is some 18yr old without any solid evidence? Yeah not great. Even with solid proof I doubt anyone would buy it.

L writes that he will die in 23 days in a traffic accident, But he stays away from traffic on day 23 and goes to a hospital in which the doctors are ready to revive him after he has a heart attack.
Technically he "died" but doctors were able to bring him back with a couple pulses.
L writing his name in the deathnote prevented Light from killing L, Since Light couldn't kill L, L was able to defeat Light by trapping him in the act of thinking he won but failing to win.
Kind of like how he tells his victims "i'm kira" before winning. Only L states that his death was already determined catching Light in the act of celebrating a false victory.
Would be a heck of a cheat, but I'm pretty sure the Death Note precludes such willful attempts to avoid the specified death.
L would write in that he dies of a traffic accident, promptly avoid streets with cars, be sitting in a park reading a novel when an air plane randomly nails him due to an *accidental* air *traffic* direction or something.
Where is this from?
@@Revenante_of_Asylum 😂😂😂
Yeah i highly doubt doctors can just deny the death note
Except if you write someone’s name and then the cause of death, the person gets controlled and dies in that way, therefore L cannot ‘stay away from traffic’. Moreover, if someone forced L to not go into traffic, he’ll just die of a heart attack as the cause of death is impossible. Also if the death note wants you dead, you can’t get ‘revived’ by doctors
honestly that was extremely smart, writing your own name in the deathnote to prevent others from killing you with it
Im pretty sure theres a rule that states the death has to happen within a maximum 48 hours or something like that
@@hjockzi i think it’s 23 days. Might be different for the movie.
Right? Write out the best death you could possibly think of. In like (insert time limit here) you live the best life you possibly can, get to tell everyone you're going to die, succeed in everything you've ever wanted (that'd physically possible of course) and that you die peacefully and happy in the end.
@@hjockzi It was only 48 hours in the shitty Netflix adaptation
@@TheKoriKasai You would still only get a maximum of 23 days to enjoy the rest of your life, which isn't much time.
Finally someone talking about this movie. It's probably not canon but I've seen it and i like it because in every adaptation of death note, light is able to indirectly kill L, except this one.
For those of yall who don't get it, L realises light is going to kill him so he writes his name in the death note beforehand with a condition that it happens in 23 days. Then he fakes his death. Light's father also had a role to okay in this, he doesn't die in the movie too. Ultimately, L survives and light and misa are caught.
Another thing, there is a sequel to this movie as well, named L: Change the World which according to me is a must watch for all death note fans because it has so many Easter eggs for the actual death note. This movie takes place in L's last 23 days.
Also, there is another movie, plus a drama, set in the same universe. I don't remember the name tbh and it's not as good as the previous movies but people should watch these because it's fun to explore this "what if" scenario.
....watari is L's father?!?😃
I never knew. Why would he call his father by name all the time tho and isn't he an orphan
Who made these movies?

Wait L survives?
I also loved the book where L solved the BB case. That one is canon and shows just how smart L actually was.
Which book
@@devil-er2vu that about "Beyond Birthday"
that's not L
I have the book but actually haven't read it since English is not my native so it's a bit more difficult. I should!
I mean L still beat Light. L forced Light to depend on someone else to kill him off because it was the only way Light would've beat him, a tactic Light would continue to use well after L's death. Light depending on others to do his dirty work is exactly what got him caught by Near.
ay bro just admit L lost, it was still lights plan that got him killed and I seriously doubt L was able to deduce the whole rem being obsessed with misa part so L was the loser. imo near was handed everything he got and had to pull a literal miracle by rewriting the book in a single day.

@@baboosethegreat9245i actually don't have that much of an issue with the time frame the notebook isn't that thick and it's a lot faster to to copy provided information. My. Issue comes with the fact that it's supposed to be a replica meaning they imitated his handwriting.
You can also argue that L won through his successors Near and Mello. Even in death, L wins.
Light was having so much advantages like death note,2 shinigamis still he lost
@Ninjaslayergod The Death Note has limits, and he had to put the Shinigami's in position to help him they weren't going to unless he forced their hand like he did with Rem by putting Misa in danger intentionally. Those "advantages" were very limited if you ask me.
@@GregSmithIII still bro remember when L sended fbi agents to spy light? At that time too ryuk told him someone is following u at that time If Ryuk had not told Light about those agents, Light would have been caught.
Yeah but that ending was bs and impossible.
@@Ninjaslayergodbecause the writer wanted Light to die. The ending was literally impossible
If you think about it, Rem only died because L was about to have Light and Misa convicted by testing the 13 day rule. Misa had 15 days left to live based on the lifespan you can see above her head. Meaning she was most likely going to die just to avoid capture.
Makes sense, and Misa would have gotten all of Rems remaining lifespan. Here's another theoretical twist that literally just came to my mind. Rem has already killed a person with undetermined lifespan for misa when she was flirting with "new kira" Mr. Higuchi, so this lifespan was most likely not near zero, and we know Rem doesn't hesitate much to kill. This lifespan could be huge. Would she spend half an infinity in prison? That would not make sense because her crimes were clearly crimes of passion which she doesn't even remember as long as she doesn't have possession of a book. Did Light actually stage his own death as an ultra villain just to give Misa an almost eternal life???
fun fact there was actually a live-action film inside film it is revealed that L actually faked his death and managed convince people that he was dying even spoke with ryuk and told him that he was going to burn the Death Note

The original L died and ryuk killed light after seeing him lost and ended his experiment
Look you killed him but now near is gonna catch you. Light:What? "It's boring to wait"
L choosed 2 kids in his backup plan long ago. He even had a solution after he dies.
Hence proved: "L lost the fight, but won the war"
L defeated Light the moment he made Light his successor. That's all it took to get Light caught by Near.
Im guessing the only way this could have happened was if L wrote in the death note- “kill me only after i kill Light” or something. That way it would seal his death for sure and there would be nothing Light could do to change how he would die. That’s the only way he would have given himself enough time to kill light or defeat him
Nah, there is something called the 23 day rule. A person can set their death on any particular date as long as it is less than or equal to 23 days from the day of writing. Death Note can only operate within 23 days (in the human calendar). This is called the 23 day rule. The Death Note cannot kill a person less than 780 days old, a person over 124 years of age, a person with less than 12 minutes of life left, or a person whose death is set for a date or time that exceeds their original lifespan.
So L must've written his name and set the date for the last date possible and then somehow managed to catch Kira.
@@Adi26A It’s in a novel, he uses the 23 day rule and writes his own name in the Death Note. Then he does what he did in the anime/manga where he test Lights fake 13 day rule but light kill’s himself instead so that L could never really solve the case
@@ruffusisthebest7880 Oh wow. That sounds like the perfect ending for both characters
@@Adi26A that rule only exists in the life action movies though. In the manga it says that you can kill a person with the death note at any point in the future, the only limit being their natural lifespan, you can not write that they die later than they were going to die naturally.
@@nessyness5447 The 23 day rule is in the anime. It's the exact reason Near waited 23 days to confront Light after Gevanni touched the death note. To be sure he wasn't being controlled by the shinigami mikami might have had guarding it.
Light even says directly. "You can't control someone's entire life with the death note. You can only control them up to 23 days."
The only exception to the 23 day rule is a death by illness that would take longer than 23 days to manifest and kill that person, in which case there is no set time. It will take as long to happen as it would without the death note causing it.
Specifically planning out your death in advance is a great way to gain invincibility.
For those who are interested in that whole story arc it's the original live action movie trilogy. They cut the series into two films and then finish with the film L change the world ❤ I grew up watching these on UA-cam in like 2006 and went to special theater screenings where we all got to cosplay

No matter how many times I rewatch Death Note L’s death still hits hard
I seen something that I liked as an comment which is very true “It took 3 Kira’s to kill an genius and it took 3 Geniuses to kill an Kira’’ both L and light fought each other and was truly rivals until the end but that scene in the chopper was absolutely beautiful I can’t lie!!
There is a way in which L could have tricked light and survived, based on the knowledge of the canon.
This is what we know : 1. In the manga/anime there is no limit for how long in the future you can write for someone's dead to happen in the death note,as far as it is before the end of their natural lifespan.
2. BB had the shinigami eye since birth and could see people's life span.
3. L stayed informed of bb's condition while he was locked up after the LA case, possibly visited him at least once to talk with him and try to understand why bb killed those people.
So, what if bb told L that he could see people's lifespan?maybe told L exactly the date he could see above L's head to prove it? L would have probably just thought that BB was simply having hallucinations due to being insane. Until the shinigamis and shinigami eye were mentioned in the kira case, remembering bb's comments on seeing people's life span , of having a shinigami like eyesight, would explain better why L got so scared at it being mentioned by the second kira. Since the two cases were supposedly unconnected. And then, when finding the death note and that shinigami were truly real, he could have come to the conclusion that BB was actually telling the truth about seeing people's life span. And since L is believable that L would remember the date that BB told him was the end of his lifespan. So he would have just needed to write his own name before rem did it, writting that he would die just a day or hours before his natural time of dead.
The only thing is that i am unsure if rem would have seen it when the lifespan changed, but maybe if L wrote himself to die just minutes or so before his original time, then rem would not have noticed such as small difference unless she truly focused on the numbers above L's head.
Who is bb and why did I never see him in the anime😭. Or is he in the manga only?
@@unknown_8588 technically, he only appears perse in the " another" novel. But canonically there are mentions at least in the manga. He was the killer of the LA case in which naomi worked with L, and one of the first wammy's kids trained to be L's sucesor. But he went mad after his friend ( A) commited suicide, and having shinigami eyes since birth didn't help. He went full on psychotic break and decided to basically blame L for all his problems and create a case that could not be solved, by making himself to be his own last victim. But he failed and was stopped by naomi and L, and put into a facility for the criminally insane. That was two years before the kira case and clearly L felt responsible for BB to some degree, It is implied that L must have visited him. And also, one of the reasons L takes it so personal with kira, is BB being one of Kira's first international victims. The nickname L uses for the kira case " ryuzaki",Is taken from the name BB used to approach naomi in LA , when he was going as " rue ryuzaki".
@@unknown_8588 in death note u would have noticed when L tells about Naomi that she worked with L in the Los Angeles BB murder case, i read it somewhere that BB was L's successor but since he can't handle the pressure he became a serial killer. There is also a noval called "Los Angeles BB murder case". That explains about the case and about who is BB.
There is a rule stating that you can't control someone's lifespan for more than 23 days. Also, the events of the novel are very ridiculous and not canon as neither Tsugumi ohba or takeshi obata worked on it and it has many unexplained inconsistencies (BB having shinigami eyes by birth is the biggest one because that is literally impossible. You need to be a death note owner in order to make the deal) the BB murder itself did happen but the events are unknown in the canon world
Imagine the death note has an unknown rule that if two people wrote a name the one that is newest would not continue the previous one
She killed L because he solved the case were yall actually watching😂
Ryuk probably secretly helps the already dead L😅
It's in live action and it's really good! Y'all should check it out!
A big brain move of writing a long and detailed death of yourself in the death note as insurance.
That ending he’s talking about is the 2006 death note the movie
That’s why he heard the bell.
Would have been a great ending if Light would have killed all the Agents in the building then him bleeding out and ryuk write his name in the Deathnote. that way Kira is still a mystery to the world cause everyone that knew were all there in the building
Ya know how L could have won is by NOT discussing his plans right in front of Light and the two shinigami. Just pull a "Hey, let's not tell our two main suspects about how we plan on capturing them", and I'm pretty sure the kiras would have been locked away.
L change the world,classic movie
Before I saw other comments explain how, I thought he wrote something like “[L’s name] will die after he discovers who Kira is”
But the actual explanation is way smarter
I think Rem would have noticed not receiving his remaining lifespan.
She also wouldn't have died, right? If L actually lived then Rem wouldn't have prevented Misa's death and she wouldn't have turned to sand. Unless I'm misunderstanding, that is. I haven't read Change the WorLd
Also never seen it. I don't know if it's different in this continuity but in the anime Rem also killed Watari. And while not nearly as big a threat as L he would have pursued Misa/Light and caused trouble for them. At the least he might have brought on Mello or near.
So if Rem also killed Watari there it could have affected Misas life span and been a kill for the sake of preserving her life.
@@itsRhodiRem does kill Watari in the Japanese live action series and believes she killed L and she is saving Misa which should be enough.
There is a live action about that plot when he explained how L beat light
To be corrected L only sees it as a win if he is able to incriminate and expose light which Light knowing this killed light (himself)so light technically wins but it’s going from a technical standpoint of what we have been told(re reading I put Light killed L when I was meant to put light killed light in the spin off so changed it)
Imagine L writing his name to die in 30 smth years so he couldnt die till he found out who kira was
L: Save the World -> I'LL Save the World
Well I would have written my own name in death note by putting death time after like 100 years.
Bro if you misspell someones name 3 times in the death note you cant kill them with it. Just do that
If you do it on purpose, you die.
I thought a rule was that if you did that intentionally it would kill the person writing the name
The misspelling has to be on accident during each & every time. If the DN senses intent, it will kill the writer.
Its 4 times not 3 times go and see the anime again😅😂
After reading the manga, i have my own fan theory that the series director, after reading it all, went like; Well, L is dead now, let´s rush the shit out of the rest. The good part is over."
L in movie has more personality rather than anime / manga. On that movie he can make Soichiro believe his son is Kira.. his word is more deep than the anime.. so people tend to believe him
L was clearly smarter, thw Supernatural aspecf of the Death Note gave him ab edge
If he didn’t kill L he will know his true identity that show us light is coward insane arrogant child
It broke my heart watching L die, at one point, L considered Light as a loyal friend 💔
Anime,manga and novel is different so in anime Yagami light won and thats fact.also in ep 37 light death is illogical he was doing his job very well, and the best moment was when he planned to refuce his death note.in last battle againsed Near who is not even close with L,he lost.he fully trusted mikami(that was not realy light habitual action,that was stupidity).
Light was living in a delusional world and deserved to die, kudos to near for capitalizing on terus mistake
Still think the way light was caught at the very end was dumb . Can we agree ? A bunch of back and forth with L's successor who was only on an equal level as him when he was with his partner . So we have someone supposably half as good as L that barely did anything for the story be the one to prove light was Kira. The ending didn't feel earned in my opinion
The end was never supposed to happen😅
The series would have ended when light killed l but the producers pressured The author just for then "good guys" thing
@@rupasah2164 source?
This is why the musical adaptation lowkey has the best ending lol. Rem writes L's name into the death note and sacrfices herself, Misa loses her memories of the death note and kira, and after L dies, Light thinks he's won as there's no one left to figure out his identity, but this bores Ryuk, as there's no fun anymore without any opposition, so true to their agreement in the beginning, he writes Light's name into the death note, as he told him he would have the authority to do so whenever he wanted, and Light dies kicking and screaming, begging for his life, dying of the same anticlimatic heart attack that he killed so many with.
I have that film on DVD. It's one of my all time favorite movies.
I find it weird how in canon alternate timelines exist, but heaven nor hell does? When people pass away in DN your soul either goes back to where it originated before you were born (which is known as the "nothingness"), or you become a shinigami (and seemingly live forever unless if you fail to write names down in your DN you'll turn to sand/dust). There's so much unexplored lore in DN it drives me fuckin' crazy!
the more interesting thing is that L knew that he will die and he already told about that to light [when Lsaid he can hear the sound of church] and he also left an email that light read when L died in which he said ; if any one read this meant i am died and he also that that it was his achievement that means he knew what happens after he dies and also he know that second L might be light cause he already fits in everyone in room by saying it Infront of them [lidht must be his successor] and by that his real successor that was near easily predict that light is kira . i thing L wins by losing the game
The amount of coping in this comment section “L won in death”, “L technically won since he knew he was right in the end”, “L won since his successor’s beat light” Bro just accept he lost 😭🙏
Most people just love L so much and will try to find anyway to say he won
So to catch Kira, L had to sacrifice himself 😢
And Mello too. Just to be a worthy successor of him. how touching
Yeah in live action version which I saw before anime., He does this and there are no Miko and Nate reference , I felt that ending much better
That’s what happened in the 2006 Live Action movie. L: Change the World was another Live Action movie which was a sequel. Where L goes on other adventure before he dies.
L already won.. he just let N takes over the plan and he knows N can do it... But the adoptation has its own version called L change the world. He right his own name on death note and because of the rules if you right your own name on death note you will have 21 days to live and when other people try to right your name on death note it will not work.. in the adoptation ending L pretend he died, when Light wrote his name then Light revealed his true color not knowingly about L's plan

L won as soon as he introduced himself to light
L beat Light by killing himself? What wonderful logic! 😂
That’s actually rly smart. It’s a gamble because if he wrote a date after when he was supposed to die he would die immediately, but writing your name in the death note would make you immune to death note attacks if I’m remembering correctly
if the name is misspelled, yes
@@eureka2694 no, cuz if you write when you are supposed to die, writing a different way to die has no effect. For example, if L wrote he would die in 60 years and this was before he would die, then Light cannot kill him with a death note anymore.
Technically, even in that version of the story L lost. Light kills himself and makes the case technically unsolvable since he can’t be convicted, L even admits that he saw that scenario a loss to Light.
I did know it was the Japanese movie version. However, that title of L Change the World is actually a different movie where L solves an entirely different case while waiting for his death.
When L noticed he got a heart attack he was like “bruh be fucking forreal, i was so close.”
no he expected it to happen
L Change The World was a good movie too. Honestly I need to rewatch the whole live action quadrilogy at some point.
Uhm no bc didnt L die almost instantly? It took a hot minute for Light to start getting all excited so certainly L wouldnt have saw that cuz he was already dead at that moment?
Well, i believe he died because Ram dies after writing his nams meaning it worked. When L noticed he was going to die there is a scene where he goes to speak to Watari alone and he looks serious. Afterwards we see that Near had a lot of knowledge about what happened. There were many safety measures in place that Light would end up caught or dead.
I mean, the entire point of even the original Deathnote is that L beat Light in the end, even with his death. That’s why it shows Light symbolically in chains with L in the background multiple times afterwards. He “caught” him…and the results just had to play out.
I always thought that L could have made a deal with Rem to give Misa a life sentence instead of execution, in exchange for ratting out Light.
L could have faked his death and Light never would have known. Light never found out his name, either.
All you’d need is a pile of dirt to fool him into thinking Rem actually died, lmao
From there, Light would incriminate himself, L swoops in with his evidence, done.
I always wondered how that would work, like if you just wrote your name and time of death as being like, 2000 years in the future, would you live that long? Or if it has to reduce your natural lifespan, if you were going to die in 90 days due to a stroke or something, and you wrote your name and date of death in 89 days, and then someone else tried to kill you with a gun or something, would reality bend to prevent you from dying until 89 days have passed? What if you like, jumped into a volcano which would definitely kill any normal person.
One of the rules of the Death Note is that it can only be used to shorten someone's life span and not extend it. Also my assumption is that the Death Note can't and doesn't prevent people from dying to non Death Note related events. However, writing your own name in a Death Note prevents others from being able to kill you with a Death Note.
L actually won ...as L's successors/students eventually killed him so yeah when light died he saw L ...which for me was like L is saying i have won
It would’ve been cool if L wrote in the death note that he suffer a heart attack and ‘Kira’ would catch him as he fell to the ground. To that, he’d know for certain Light was Kira
It was actually Death Note the Last Name
Ligth is such a unlucky protagonist that he defeated by the sidekicks of main antoganist his shinigami form in the movie must be cannon.
Nah bro ofc he's the main character 💀
Nothing happens when you write your own name in a death note
Actually you die like how you wrote it, Misa wrote "Misa Amane dies in the hands of Light Yagami" but of course that's impossible so she dies of a heart attack.
@@thebookwithmanycovers No, because it was mentioned at the beginning when lite was reading the rules of the book.
@@Shushkin Then how tf Misa died?
@@Shushkin Also after reading all the rules, there's one that literally states "One can shorten his/her own lifespan"
The end of Death Note is so bad I think it's just give me depression.
I was waiting for Light to kill everyone and then L would come back after faking his Death, convincing Watari to sacrifice himself, making a deal with Rem so that with Watari's death by Rem, Misa would still be saved, so that L could fake his death and watch Mellow and Neer battle Kira while L figures out for certain that Light is Kira, which he would figure it all out during the final episode when he reappears to Light and reveals his master plan which would flash back and reveal new things in every episode that we didn't know about that was all part of L's cunning.
And then finally, L tells Kira his real name, but Light can't kill L because L has the real Death Note and L writes Light's name and kills him for all he's done.
To me that was the real ending.
But no, what we got was...well, it was the worst episode in the entire series in my opinion, and one of the worst endings I've ever experienced. But the journey was so good.
It was actually genius how the writer made an ending so terrible. It was even worse than Dexter.
It happened in the japanese film series.
Slightly misrepresenting - in the second Japanese live action film, L writes that he will die in 23 days time, so when Rem attempts to kill L, it doesn't work because he had already written his own name in the death note.
L: Changed the World is a spin off novel from this film, exploring what L did with his remaining time after catching Kira.
(None of this shares continuity with the manga/anime)
Wow!! thank you so much for the information!! So heplflu❣️❣️❣️😻😻
Thanks for supporting
L literally commit suicide just to not let light win, what a chad
That was one thing i didnt like i felt lime rem had other ways than to sacrifice his life i just felt like there was other ways plus rem sacrificing his life to puta misa life is a gamble because there would like be a successor to and at that point misa was still cleared out of supsion there was so many questions
sitaram ji hari bol
Light would of won ages ago if he did the deal
Bro it would be smart to write in death note that death after 50 years and of heart attack that would be crazy
Idk if it’s just my but I wanted light to win, i was glad L didd
L Beat Light needs to tell.
But Light beating L can be seen by everyone.
Y’all can try all you want he lost and his successor only won through plot armor
I'm curious. Isn't one of the rules that if the same name is put in to two death notes that the first Death note used would be the one that dictates the death? Couldn't L of put his name in the Death Note that he dies at the age of 80, making him safe from dying from the death note?
The 23 day rule
L also killed Light in the Japanese live action (the one featuring Kinichi Matsuyama) by putting his own name in the note and by having his officers shoot Light...great adaptation in my opinion, should definitely watch it.
Isn't there a rule that you can't extend your life with the death note by writing a date after your natural life span?
Technically if you put your name in the death note and put that you will die of old age no one else can put your name in the death note
