I do agree, Matsuda is a really underrated character and the Death Note fandom should shine some more light on him. Honestly, he's my favorite character and the description of this video was just perfect.
Matsuda is an underrated character, even if he was naive trough the series he wasn't a character to not sympatize and in the end he stopped Light and also tried to save him from death
For those who haven't watched the drama, definitely give it a watch. Of course by no means is it better than the anime but it's definitely a solid adaptation. seeing the many changes in the first episode might turn you off but please keep an open-mind that they were aware (even mentioned this) of all the other adaptations already being done, thus they wanted to keep it unique and different from the other mediums. It is easily better than the Netflix one. Kubota Mastaka's performance as Light and his transformation from "Yagami Light" to "Kira" is truly phenomenal. He's the only one who should play as Light. edit: grammar
The drama was actually really good. Heck I recommend watching the third death note live action movie since the first two are similar to the anime with a few changes. Pretty cool spin off that takes place 10 years after light's death. Interesting part was when at the end of the 2nd live action (2006) there was a teaser for a 3rd one coming in 2016 which really happened.
i agree with you! the 2006 movie had a better ending than the anime and both Light and L were comically accurate. L appearance wise and Light personality wise. And in the drama it's the opposite (but i love drama L more for some reason). Tbh i just think that every version of it has something unique to offer (no not u Netflix) and that's one of the things i like about DN so much.
Like I really didn’t like him, I didn’t want him to win but I also did, I kinda only didn’t want him to win because Matsuda would die and I like Matsuda to much for that but I wanted him to win because I wanted to see how things would turn out once he “ruled” the world
It must never be compared to all Japanese versions, be it the anime, manga, or the 2 live actions... the netflix version is a failure that should never have existed.
I like how Mikami doesn't die in the manga. His death feels pointless in the anime. Also in the manga, when light runs out of hope asks Mikami foe help, instead of Mikami being dead, he tells Light, "You're no God. You're just insane. Now look what you've gotten me into."
@@cliftonl.2353 And he would undoubtedly die later. The problem is that he gives up his life for what he thought was God. A God bleeding, whimpering and writhing in the ground. All delusions should have been shattered then. Gods do not bleed from normal bullets. His pitiful demands/pleas for help are not the actions of a deity. He could have just hung himself in his cell once it was all over.
0:42 damn i don't remember the drama being this scary holy shit the actor who played Light did such a good job it terrifies tf out of me.Then that sad music starts playing in the background ugh, Light's death is actually quite sad. PROPS TO MY BOI MATSUDA FOR BEING A BADASS THOUGH.
Lights and Matsuda actor performances are legit the best out of any live action adaptation. Though I do think they went overboard with killing Light in the fire
I love Matsuda's reaction in the anime. So fast and well aimed. Matsuda was disappointed, hurt and furious with Light. He totally loses it. Poor Matsuda and yet he's the one to pity Light at the end.
Well I wouldnt say the best. In my opinion the 2006 japanese live action manga adaptation into 2 movies were better. But this is still amazing. Honestly the drama would be higher if either 1. L would have defeated Light or 2. Light had a better death.
@@cristiangonzales2040 There would be no victory in that, he lost in the very moment he was obligated to reveal he was Kira, and so he did, would be different if he had killed 'em all after revealing himself as Kira against his last enemies, with Mikami's help (not getting caught aswell) or any other way.
@lalrivunga hnamte We all know that, whether Light's objective was to not-get-caught or to "show he was Kira and then make his opponents feel powerless", he didn't "lose" because of any mistake he made apart from relying on anyone but him, and in this case leaving all the responsibility of killing those people (including Near) in that sort of warehouse. On the other hand, I don't see how you can just affirm that Light's plan was to always reveal he was Kira once he knew he had won, when it is stipulated that his objective was to hide the secret and continue doing his "job", and once he gets to know L (with that tv broadcast), he fears the fact that someone could possibly find him, and even that soon, so that's why he cares all the time for his identity, both when he was pretending to have an appointment with that girl (and finally get rid of Ray Pember), or the moment he was just about to get caught my Naomi Misora, who was if not a 100% sure it was him maybe an 80%. What I'm trying to say, is that Light's primarily objective is to not get caught, and then, what you are saying about him revealing he's Kira is just a, let's say, perk of the job, as for instance he was just so close to being caught by Naomi Misora that the only reason que revealed he was Kira was because of a question, and other way he would have probably walked away after she left, and possibly laugh or something weird. I find what happened with Ray Pember as an act of evilness together with a relieving feeling of winning. Who knows what would have happened if Mikami successfully wrote all those names and killed Near, Matsuda and the others, cause Light waited all the time it would usually take to make the Death Note work. Anyways, I think it is pretty dumb to deny that his overall target was to avoid getting caught, it is obvious, and whatever he did after or during someone's death (you get what I mean) is just secondary and the facts as we watched in the series were the result of Light turning more into a psychopath with every passing episode.
if you care to answer after all this time, what would you say Near (manga/anime) represents? i’d say he’s an interesting take of the “puppet master” type character, with his use of questionable finger puppets to solve mysteries and manipulation of others like Mello (hence the quote “I have a pretty good idea of who Kira is thanks to al you’ve done.”) so “the puppet master always wins”.as well as proof that L’s ideology withh never die, while Kira’s will. since all of Kira’s main allies emded up dead (Takada, Mikami, Misa), but one of L’s allies, his successor, Nate River survives and lives on as a detective. i like him for being interesting and oddly cute, but his motivations are questionable with him using others to his advantage no matter if they like it or not, though it is for the cause of saving the world from a psycho. what would you consider his morality to be?
I really love description of this video! ❤️
FloraBeautiful14 same
Because of this I read that really long description. Thanks,,
Never realize this is about Matsuda
Thank you all :)
In the hes gets burned to death in the drama
@@andreaaa_76 the drama is different he burns
How on earth did they find someone who looked exactly like anime Matsuda? It’s uncanny.
The L from The 2006 movie and dorama's Light are almost identical as well
Matsuda doesnt excactly have the most distingt apperance
I know! That was what I always was thinking.
Perfect casting 🤩
By finding out a human with an IQ similar to Matsuda.
Matsuda had really good aiming to shoot Light perfectly in the arm/hand in the drama and anime
Matsuda's a clutz until it matters.
Matsuda is actually one of the best shots in the entire police force. It's mentioned in the manga
He has an aimbot
And in the film version (2006), too!
@@TheLastGuardian30 what episode to they mention it?
Death Note is the only anime that:
-I like both sub and dub
-I like a live action(I am talking about Drama not that Netflix crap)
The only thing from Netflix one people really liked was Green Goblin playing ryuk.
Dai_Do93 his name is willem dafoe you uncultured bacteria
@@impacc4182 I know that ass, but he's also the green goblin and did a damn good job of it.
Dont forget the original love action movie, that shit was awesome
Netflix basically just took the characters and the notebook it didn’t even have the same concept
Light:i am kira
Everyone: *PULLS OUT GUN AND AIMS AT LIGHT*
What they just gonna let a genocidal sociopath leave?
@@nyota7382 Are you idiot? Light is a good man
But what id light was joking and they aimed at a innocent man
@@chelXoposh1 have you even watched the show? Light turned into a insane murderer with no sense of sympothy for anyone
@@chelXoposh1 used to be*
I do agree, Matsuda is a really underrated character and the Death Note fandom should shine some more light on him. Honestly, he's my favorite character and the description of this video was just perfect.
Yes!!! Matsuda has always been my favorite
"Shine some more light on him."
I really love him, he deserves more recognition
DONT SHINE *LIGHT* ON HIM
This is very late, but after Light and Ryuk, Matsuda was my favorite.I love him
Poor Matsuda. Poor Light.
Fairy on Ice I honestly do feel sorry for Light. If he never got the Death Note he wouldn't have became a crazy serial killer.
Poor poor L
poor poor poorest of the poor L
poorest of poors poor poor L
I LOVE BOTH L AND LIGHT BUT L WAS ALWAYS RIGHT POOR L. POOR LIGHT.
0:40 they sound so similar
Mikays !, Yeh I thought so too.
Matsuda is an underrated character, even if he was naive trough the series he wasn't a character to not sympatize and in the end he stopped Light and also tried to save him from death
1:47 I love how it almost syncs perfectly.
What movie is this one called
1:05 Light just turned into a Zombie.
Lmfao
I am like Light and I also found that funny🤣.
I know this is a comment from three years ago but what actually happened is he missed the shot
😂
The one who plays Light is such a good actor!!! Also Matsuda is a really good cast in this one too!
The real action Light has the same angry look like Anakin when he got defeated by Obi Wan.
For those who haven't watched the drama, definitely give it a watch. Of course by no means is it better than the anime but it's definitely a solid adaptation. seeing the many changes in the first episode might turn you off but please keep an open-mind that they were aware (even mentioned this) of all the other adaptations already being done, thus they wanted to keep it unique and different from the other mediums.

Light Yagami is very good here. But for L, I prefer to old L in the movie 2006
its crazy how we know that Light was evil and twisted but we all still wanted him to win, poor Light
I never wanted that
True
I wanted him to not only fail, but fail gloriously. Kinda like in the live action and the manga. Arrogrant prat.
Like I really didn’t like him, I didn’t want him to win but I also did, I kinda only didn’t want him to win because Matsuda would die and I like Matsuda to much for that but I wanted him to win because I wanted to see how things would turn out once he “ruled” the world
Light was an absolute legend bro
WHO IS THIS MATSUDA ???!!!
HE'S SO CUTE I NEED HIM IN MY LIFE!!!!
Mia Loo The actor's name is Goki Maeda, and yes, he's darn cute, even in real life ^^
yaaaaas i just googled him🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️
i fell into his well😂❤️
Mia Loo He hawt as heck
Mia Loo Once you do, there’s no going back 😂
0:41完璧だよな。すごい。
To be honest the drama is better than the Netflix
Indeed
It must never be compared to all Japanese versions, be it the anime, manga, or the 2 live actions... the netflix version is a failure that should never have existed.
Y did they keep their names. Light "Turner" ain't smart. He's a Dip shit. He's more like Misa and Mia is more like Light but another dipshit
anything is better than that light turner bullshit
Agreed though-
Matsuda in the drama is very cute💖
0:39 0:47 I want to hear these two synced
😂😂😂😂
They're nearly identic
Really good acting on the drama's part.
Acting on point hahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everybody sleeping on the fact that Light survived approximately 6-7 shots on his entire body...
None hit vital organs but yeah he lost lots of blood
50 cent
I like how Mikami doesn't die in the manga. His death feels pointless in the anime. Also in the manga, when light runs out of hope asks Mikami foe help, instead of Mikami being dead, he tells Light, "You're no God. You're just insane. Now look what you've gotten me into."
I feel like Mikami's death is symbolic, every who used the death note died.
@@cliftonl.2353 That's definitely true
@@cliftonl.2353 yeah, even Mia committed suicide soon after Light's death.
Woah cool
@@cliftonl.2353 And he would undoubtedly die later. The problem is that he gives up his life for what he thought was God. A God bleeding, whimpering and writhing in the ground. All delusions should have been shattered then. Gods do not bleed from normal bullets. His pitiful demands/pleas for help are not the actions of a deity. He could have just hung himself in his cell once it was all over.
It was so sad when Matsuda tried to go back and save Light and Aizawa had to hold him back💔

Love the irony that the "New God" of the world was taken down by the most unassuming normal man on the team.
yes
i knew that was gonna happen in the show since they called him useless
0:07 having an opinion in 2020
so true lol
Light: I am Kira
Everyone else: **Points gun at him**
Teru mikami
- unintentionally trapping light in a circle of fire
Utsemimaru
- unintentionally altering the timeline
The guy who plays light in the drama is great i might watch it now
Well for this scene, drama captured it brilliantly. I can feel Matsuda and Light
fr fr
Drama was good..I first thought that it's gonna ruin the manga but I was wrong.anime was better but this is the best live action version
Well I wouldnt say the best. In my opinion the 2006 japanese live action manga adaptation into 2 movies were better. But this is still amazing. Honestly the drama would be higher if either 1. L would have defeated Light or 2. Light had a better death.
@@natsumi7388 i think it would be better if we got the real character of mello

@@natsumi7388 L had a way better (more painful) death in the drama! Also if L defeated Light there would be no purpose
@@N0URii oh yeah definitely! Mello hasn't been adapted in a live action yet i wonder why they chose him to be a puppet/near's other personality
@@random-zz8ut i dont know man the 2006 second movie have L defeat him and they managed to pulled it off quite amazingly
Light refusal words due to his god complex
- atone crimes
- turning back
- admit to be lost
The way Matsuda keeps screaming Light's name in The drama 😟
To the person who edited this- I love how you spliced the clips!
Matsuda must be protected at all cost!!!
1:33 he is real Matsuda 😮❤
0:20 not gonna lie,i love near actor voiceUwU
Awwwe, me too
Near had a really cute voice in the drama
true he's really cute
0:40から完全一致
Matsuda in the drama throws fire and tires to stop light but it was too late
I swear I got so emotional at the end 😫😫 R.I.P Yagami Light
poor L,poor Misa poor Matsuda 😢
Matsuda is my favorite character. Actually I like all the SPK members. I'd grab a beer with them.
Throw a Chair Same but with coffee and donuts (since I don't drink lol)
Ngl the drama when light screamed when he got shot was accurate he sounds like the voice actor in the anime
he did, it scared me
The drama one was lit
The anime's screen quality makes it look like a 90s anime.
how is the anime scene so much better holy shit
in the drama it was even worse...
light was on fire he died in that exploding house he got shot so many times
ugh ikr, it was too painful to watch
I loved Light 😣And I still do. If only he didn’t go mad 😩.
R.I.P Light ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ok but the actors for the drama are really good tho!! Like if the film making was a little more high budget it would look incredible!
i agree but at least the dialogue between matsuda and light was like..ditto, i really like this live action
Bro are all of them the actors who played in the anime?
They all sound super alike
No, they're not the same
in the 2006 movies and the anime the english voice actors are the same but not in the drama
Drama is better than anime. Light has a backstory and some plotholes of the anime are solved.
light sounds exactly like light in the drama
Light’s father
Anime:death
Live action:alive
He died in the 2015 show after he wrote his own name in the Death Note and attempted to burn it
Wow light was really dancing when he was getting shoot
lol i always thought so too
Exactly as I planned.
The Drama was way better the the Netflix Version
No shit anything is better than the Netflix version
Every death note film is better than the netflix poop note
One of my fav character, matsuda
Damn
soo thats what happnd after Todoroki Yosuke
left oya high school
0:20 "AAH!!" lmao
The actor for light in the 2006 movie is spot on
Near is so cool in live action one
i'm not old enough to watch the Netflix live action movie, so i'll be back in 4 yrs
how old are u?
Yo ur close
Damn the live action is dope
it really is
Light: I am Kira.
Me minutes later: And yeah, I just started hearing gunshots and I ran-
Kami no kami no kami no! KAMI NO- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!
Well now i know how death note ends TNX
it literally says finale in the title...
EthanWantsToBattle i did not said it sarcastically
Matsuda from dorama is too slow, Light could've killed everyone 10 times
It was in vain Light wouldn't have been able to kill all those agents
Javier Lopez Its fair to assume that Light only wanted to kill Near, that would’ve been a win for him.

if matsuda shots light with 44 Magnum it will settled down instantly
When you realises that Matsuda has more IQ than you
0:07 Light: I am Kira.
Everyone: 🔫🔫🔫🔫-----> Light
Near:🧍👍
I miss the death note series
This Death Note 2015 is better than english Death Note, they pick a great actor for Light and L.
i agree
Man, does anyone else love that part where Matsuda goes "IT'S MATSU TIME" then matsu matsu all over Light?
in a different universe where Todoroki kills Smokey
0:46 and 0:54 Light says fuck
matsuda supremacy 🛐🛐
Why did the Drama version have the characters just look at Light when they say he was writing their names while in the anime Matsuda shot first?
if everyone shot light could've die, if they kill light they are not different from light goals
This is better than Netflix adaptation
Talk about the anime or the Drama.
One thing is true in both.
Which is..
Matsuda lost
この2人 high&low に出てたんだなスゲー
Live action is so damn good
Todoroki vs smoky lmao
If mamoru miyano played light it would be much better.
I don't know how good Mamoru Miyano is as an actor but Masataka Kubota's portrayal of Yagami Light is amazing.
Matsuda Made Light Dance
いい感じにまとまってる😄まさにこの感じだ😄

Matsuda is always hot in amine and in drama
*Anime
コイントKointo yay!
コイントKointo ok...
コイントKointo TMI girl
コイントKointo ok...
todoroki shoots smoky
How tf does no one shoot Light in the drama? They were all aiming at him and it's not like he was pulling a surprise like in the anime.
really cool
Only thing I didn’t like about the Drama was them clubbing Mello and Near into a single person
Obviously after watching this video I will prefer the anime first bcoz its the best anime and the drama is far behind it! Anime's are always best!❤
Drama real people both sounds the same but different ending and drama ryuk is laughing to himself
