Video time (Minutes:seconds): comments
00:02 : Thanks. This is bad; we need to do something quickly.
00:12 : Heavy.
00:24 : Bought it again.
00:36 : L.
00:39 : Heard this OP more than my parents’ voices.
01:12 : Haven’t heard this kind of singing in a while, it’s tough…
01:18 : Is that so?
01:20 : It’s been a while, but it’s still interesting.
01:26 : I get it, lol.
01:40 : Handsome.
01:42 : It’s good.
01:46 : Some people are ROM-only.
01:51 : El Psy Congroo.
01:53 : ← Light: “It’s ‘Congroo’!”
02:05 : Isn’t L a villain who releases criminals back into society to reoffend?
02:08 : Is it called self-righteousness?
02:17 : Nakai.
02:19 : L’s method cannot serve as a deterrent to crime.
02:22 : Confusing.
02:33 : Zoro?
02:34 : Rumor.
02:38 : “I am Kira, lol.”
02:40 : If Death Note happened today, there’d be a flood of Youtubers with confession videos.
02:41 : Sometimes fake culprits come forward, but 21 people, lol.
02:43 : “I’m Kira’s sister.”
02:47 : Even now, there are tons of videos claiming to be the criminal’s brother, so it wouldn’t change in 2020.
02:50 : If you’re pro-death penalty, you might think you have the power.
02:55 : Tough.
03:29 : Since he can specify the time, he should have varied it.
03:36 : Student? Ah… (understood).
03:38 : Maybe an employee of a white company.
03:41 : Should have varied the killing times, but the story wouldn’t work without flaws.
03:42 : Maybe a 24-year-old student?
03:43 : ← With fantasy elements like Death Note, there’s no way it would be exposed, so of course he’d use it freely.
03:44 : 8 PM to 2 AM could apply to working adults too.
03:49 : Could also be a NEET who wakes up at 4 AM.
03:51 : It’s almost completely exposed at this point, lol.
03:52 : Bullseye.
03:53 : Exposed.
03:55 : Paper.
03:56 : Thinking that trash is unnecessary is not immature but normal.
03:57 : Gulp!
03:58 : Will it become “The Paper,” lol.
03:59 : Immature, lol.
04:06 : Amazing deduction.
04:11 : In his 20s or 30s.
04:21 : I like Matsuda.
04:23 : Matsuda!!
04:24 : Cute.
04:26 : Matsuda!!
04:29 : Matsuda, don’t mess around!
04:33 : Masuda!!
04:35 : That’s right.
04:36 : There might be people who commit crimes seeking euthanasia.
04:38 : Good for them.
04:39 : Good job.
04:42 : See, Light is doing the right thing.
04:43 : True.
04:47 : He may not read the room, but it’s a fact that needed to be said.
04:48 : We know it, but hearing it said out loud is heavy.
04:49 : He’s doing a good thing.
04:50 : It was something that needed to be said.
05:06 : Police wouldn’t have work if crime disappeared.
05:08 : I like Matsuda the most.
05:12 : If crime disappeared, the police would be in trouble.
05:14 : He’s Kuma from Persona.
05:19 : Yume no Shima Thought Park.
05:29 : Can Kira not judge those with alias reports?
05:40 : Matsuda…
05:41 : Hearing about all-nighters makes me think it’s a black company, but it’s a huge murder investigation. It’s not a normal job, though there should be limits.
05:44 : Matsuda is really a good guy.
05:47 : Matsuda is conflicted about denying crime.
05:51 : Model superior.
05:52 : Good boss.
05:54 : Good senior.
05:55 : All-nighters are tough…
05:56 : Good boss.
05:58 : A model superior.
06:00 : Understanding the struggles of work and internal affairs.
06:05 : Good boss.
06:06 : He’s a good dad.
06:10 : As expected of the older brother.
06:12 : Bomb.
06:14 : The little sister isn’t that bright.
06:15 : Sayu-tan.
06:16 : What a sight, lol.
06:18 : Bringing Matsuda home means he was fond of him.
06:21 : The animation, lol.
06:27 : Who is this, lol.
06:29 : Looks like instant cup noodles, lol.
06:32 : Who, lol.
06:34 : Clean Light.
06:37 : Still young, Light.
06:47 : ?
06:49 : Not the way to look at your father.
06:50 : Realizing these two are father and son.
06:51 : Outsourced animation?
06:52 : ← Exactly.
06:53 : Eyes, lol.
06:54 : Looking at him like a dead goldfish.
06:55 : Looking at him like a dead goldfish.
06:56 : Looking at him like a dead goldfish.
07:04 : Want to see the scene where this serious dad got excited about his firstborn and named him Light.
07:07 : Not just top of his grade, but the nation.
07:09 : No, it’s not.
07:10 : When Light started seeing his family as mere pawns, he became abnormal.
07:15 : Ryuk is the punchline, lol.
07:17 : This must be hilarious to Ryuk, lol.
07:33 : Ryuk at the dinner table is surreal.
07:35 : Amazing!
07:37 : Eh…
07:41 : Thinking about it, he’s already a criminal at this point.
07:43 : Strong, lol.
07:45 : Amazing.
07:46 : Since he’s already committed murder, the heaviest crime, small infractions like hacking wouldn’t bother him.
07:50 : If he was doing this before finding the Death Note, then the Yotsuba arc’s Light was unnecessarily purified.
07:54 : Such a bad guy…
07:58 : Japan’s cyber police are still lackluster.
07:59 : So lackluster.
08:00 : If they were tracking access at this point, it would be bad.
08:03 : Was it around 2003?
08:06 : So exposed, lol.
08:09 : Story-wise, Light needed access to investigation info to keep it fair, so they went this route.
08:15 : Easier to identify.
08:32 : The cause of death scene.
08:42 : Ah.
08:42 : Should have been satisfied with heart attacks.
08:44 : I see.
08:48 : Ah…
08:50 : That’s why…
08:51 : This BGM, lol.
08:52 : I can see the potato chips.
09:00 : Feel bad for the cop.
09:03 : At least let them die peacefully…
09:06 : What’s with the goal?
09:07 : Can kill even when he can’t touch the notebook.
09:08 : The keeper should do his job.
09:09 : It’s good that all the world’s heinous criminals are disappearing.
09:19 : It’s too obvious, lol.
09:20 : Eating alone in the cafeteria, lol.
09:23 : Number.
09:28 : Surprised there aren’t riots in the prisons.
09:29 : Why did he die just now, because he tore his clothes? lol.
09:31 : Are people getting used to it?
09:32 : Because he tore his clothes, lol.
09:35 : Even if the heart stops, it doesn’t mean instant death.
09:48 : Death row inmates must be living in constant fear.
09:50 : This shows the investigation is being leaked to a student.
09:52 : If the times were varied, they’d suspect he knows the investigation details.
09:54 : Too many heinous criminals in this world.
10:03 : They changed it to “thinned out,” lol.
10:15 : So exposed, lol.
10:18 : The “anytime, anywhere” part isn’t new.
10:20 : Until the broadcast, the killings happened right after the news, so the timing was skewed.
10:25 : Takes the bait too much…
10:28 : The anime’s atmosphere is great.
10:32 : Good BGM.
10:34 : Can he reach that deduction…?
10:35 : True.
10:36 : The BGM sounds like Kindaichi.
10:37 : True.
10:39 : Wonderful BGM.
10:47 : Internal opposition.
10:48 : So exposed, lol.
10:51 : Exposed.
10:53 : They’ll impose a media blackout.
10:54 : Such a child…
10:55 : If Light were cooler…
10:56 : He’s confident.
11:00 : Really hates losing.
11:01 : “Left some” sounds bad.
11:02 : “Just in case.”
11:03 : So exposed, lol.
11:10 : “Left some” like they’re lab rats, lol.
11:12 : They’re just cards now, the prisoners.
11:17 : Families affected by crime must be thrilled.
11:19 : To Light, almost everyone is just a pawn.
11:24 : The difference between someone who has seen humans and someone who has given up on them.
11:25 : MacG4.
11:36 : The courage to go on the offensive here is amazing.
11:39 : Better to focus on escaping.
11:40 : It’s meant to show he can control death times, but I don’t get how that clears the student suspicion.
11:42 : Students have to go to school. If killings happen during school hours, it weakens the student suspicion. The student theory was based on no killings during school hours.
11:54 : Focusing on escape would have been more successful.
12:02 : To Light, running away means losing to L. He doesn’t care about not being caught.
12:22 : Oh.
12:29 : Impressive.
12:30 : Well thought out.
12:35 : The owner can recognize the Shinigami who originally owned the notebook.
12:39 : I see!
12:40 : !?
12:47 : Don’t want to get involved.
12:52 : Can’t guarantee a death with honor or compensation for the family. This is a normal decision if you have a family.
13:16 : Well, can’t be helped.
13:32 : No wonder they quit.
13:37 : Even the extras think.
13:41 : True.
13:50 : It’s understandable to dislike someone giving orders from a safe place while you risk your life.
13:51 : Feeling is understandable, but trying to pull L from safety is foolish.
13:59 : No one wants to face all the criminals, so quitting makes sense.
14:02 : True.
14:03 : Of course.
14:06 : It’s admirable to admit you’re afraid for your life.
14:08 : It’s not surprising if the entire investigation team gets killed.
14:10 : The extras have families too…
14:14 : Not saying anything wrong. Even police can’t run on just a sense of justice.
14:23 : Makes you laugh.
14:24 : No one wants to chase someone who can kill with superpowers.
14:27 : Should just say Capital X.
14:32 : Not even tracking with their eyes…
14:39 : Scary man.
14:41 : Indeed.
14:47 : How did he notice?
15:17 : Mumbling.
15:23 : These two make a good duo.
15:26 : Why did he corner himself?
15:31 : In a way.
15:33 : In a way, the best = likely to be the most interesting.
15:40 : This line is important.
15:42 : Fun to watch.
15:45 : Ryuk gives Light advice despite everything.
16:27 : Light is lucky in these situations.
16:28 : Nice assist.
16:31 : Without the Death Note, its rules, and the invisible Shinigami, Light would be weak to L.
16:43 : IM.
16:46 : Ryuk’s ass, lol.
16:50 : Shinigami’s personality is part of luck.
17:29 : Won’t it raise more suspicion if he kills now?
17:31 : No, no.
17:34 : Killing now would expose him.
17:36 : The key was to kill without raising suspicion.
17:38 : This decision is rash.
17:50 : Killing now would expose him.
17:55 : ← L doesn’t yet know Light can control the method of killing.
18:07 : Aging society.
18:13 : It’s not lifespan, it’s remaining life.
18:20 : Do Shinigami have lifespans?
18:26 : Then Ryuk’s lifespan must be enormous…
19:13 : If humans go extinct, they go down too.
19:17 : Does Ryuk already know Light’s fate?
19:21 : If only he made the deal here…
19:24 : Does lifespan include accidents, or just natural death?
19:25 : Only affects mammals like humans.
19:26 : Is lifespan different from being killed?
19:28 : Since Misa’s murder is included in lifespan, accidents probably are too.
19:29 : Accidents, illnesses, and suicides likely count as “lifespan.” Death Note shortens that limit.
19:30 : Already torn.
19:33 : Ah.
19:34 : A heartfelt Shinigami joke.
19:36 : HAHAHAHA.
19:37 : American joke, HAHAHA.
19:38 : Ryuk’s death☆joke.
19:46 : If only he made the deal here…
19:57 : Shows that Light values his life.
20:21 : If he made the deal, he’d still have about 30 years left.
20:33 : Too many.
20:34 : Is it cheap or expensive?
20:35 : Good deal.
20:43 : Curious about the “Ah.”
20:48 : The direction here is excellent.
20:49 : I’d rather have hair than Shinigami eyes.
20:55 : It’d help at work when I forget people’s names.
20:56 : What if the zombie girls in Saga found the notebook and made the deal?
20:57 : What would happen if they made the deal?
21:04 : If I go blind, I’ll ask.
21:06 : If I get an eye disease, it might be a good deal.
21:07 : Would be more efficient.
21:09 : Side job as an ophthalmologist.
21:10 : This improves vision, right?
21:12 : The direction in this part is divine.
21:16 : ← Talking about hair again…
21:21 : What kind of LASIK is this?
21:23 : Bad vision blurs names too.
21:24 : Hmm.
21:30 : I wouldn’t make the deal.
21:32 : Interesting.
