I think that scene of light crying was the last bit of humanity in him for the rest of the series, for a second there you can see his eyes go back to the brown-ish color and rounder shape that’s stylistically used to represent light (while Kira is represented using narrower, more slanted and more reddish eyes) and I think it’s a very cool detail
I am not sure about it. I hate him more because he say "Don't you die on me, idiot". He pretend to cry because of his father's death, but actually he is screaming mad to him. He is genius psychopath, so maybe he didn't understand feeling and love too.
@@irenegyu7949 I really think that was the last bit of genuine emotion. Light as a person has morals, he has feelings and he has emotions, and that’s evident from when he loses the notebook earlier on and goes back to light, light is just a normal human being and he’s not a sociopath like most people tend to believe, it’s only after obtaining the notebook that he starts losing emotions and morals, he basically starts tossing away the part of him that was “light” to become Kira, it’s basically like 2 different entities. I think the scene where his dad died is the last we ever see any of “light” left because the last bit of emotions and humanity died alongside his dad, light truly loved his dad and in that situation, he didn’t need to act, people weren’t suspecting that he killed his dad and there were no people in that room he needed to prove himself to, it was a genuine cry, it was the last bit of genuine emotions he’s ever shown though.
@@Victor-qx3vx yeah definitely, but the second his father died his Kira persona cracked for a second, and the last bits of light that were present truly died, from this point on its all Kira.
One thing I loved in the manga that was not explicitly shown in the anime was how Sidoh followed Mello around. He did not only think that Mello was a "scary human". He was genuinely intimidated AND impressed.
Mello is an asshole, but he isn’t the type to actually torture someone. I’m pretty sure Saiyu’s condition is “just” from being kidnapped and then she got fake shot in front of her dad, she thought she was 100% gonna die. And paralysis and basically pseudo coma traits (like being completely out of it) can correspond with extreme trauma, it’s basically a form of extreme dissociation that some people never come out of.
Yeah, she was stuck in shock. Depending on how bad it is, shock can last for a long time. And even if she comes out of it, she’ll need lots of therapy to fully recover.
Light's tears in this episode were real because he actually did care about his father. The manga goes into a bit more detail but unfortunately the anime cut some of that out. It just shows that the Light we saw from episode 17-23 is still in there. The Light that cares about people and has morals. But his mission as Kira overpowers all of that. Because of his goal, he can't falter or give in to his emotions. And that's what makes Light such a compelling character.
@@ryanrodriguez2498 in last episode the exact conversation was this. Light: "that's right matsuda. Overly earnest people with strong sense of justice like him always end up the losers. Do you want a world where people like him are made fools of?!" Matsuda: "you drove your father to death and now you're trying to change the subject by telling he was made a fool?" Light: "a society, a world where people like my father are never made fools.. soichiro yagami died to create that. Iam telling you to kill others so that his death was not in vain. Can't you understand me?!" What point of this conversation made you think light didn't care for his dad?
If I remember right, Light thought Matsuda would take the fall, and his dad doing it blindsided him. Also, when you consider the cheif's guilt and the fact that his time was clearly almost up anyway, it makes one think that he was about to throw his life away in any case.
There is no way that Light's dad would have allowed anyone to do it but him. I have a hard time believing that Light wouldn't have known that. The chief was already so plagued with guilt. He would have killed himself if anyone other than him died for this cause. If someone had to die to the 13 day rule (because they believed the rule) then the Chief wasn't going to allow anyone else to take that job.
I think they _do_ have a picture of Melo, it's from when he was a kid, but I don't think that should matter, the rules just say you have to picture their face, not that you have to picture it as it is now. If that was the case someone could just get a face tattoo and then cover it up with makeup and be Kira-proof.
@@StarkRG If you are talking about the drawings Light has of melo and near, drawings don’t allow you to kill people. You should see an actual photo. The photo Near has of Melo is fair game, thats why Melo goes to collect it next episode. Melo knows that photo is a liability since name is out.
@@marcellomercuri5619 That's a very good point. I'm understanding of either possibility. Either way Light can't use the name given over the communications himself, or he wouldn't hesitate after his dad died...
@@marcellomercuri5619 the photo or mental image of someone’s face doesn’t have to match their current face. A picture of a baby of a 100 year old person is fair game. If you saw the face of a person 50 years ago, that’s also fine. The Death Note just needs a face so it only kills one specific person for the name written.
Even if his dad survived this day, light had to kill him in 13 days in order to keep the life of the fake rules. That's why when he knew that his dad was getting the eyes he said, "and when the time comes..." since in 13 days, light had to kill him anyway.
Even if his dad survived this day, he would've died tomorrow. The Shinigami eye deal takes half your remaining lifespan, and he died hours after taking it.
@@DarkRaven4649 Yup. Basically Mello's mafia compound was a death trap. There was no way out of there without someone getting killed. The chief was going to die today or tomorrow from the injuries.
@@hamsterfromabove8905Actually it was also a rule that people's lifespans are generally different due to the presence of the death note. I'm pretty sure the chief, being in close proximity to all events relating to the death note, died prematurely. He could've lived decades had the death note not been there.
They just know when the natural death will occur not necessarily the how. Chief Yagami didn't have long to live. At best he had a day and a half or 2 to live. He wouldn't have known because Rem did say that whoever has the eyes can't see their own lifespan just the names of everyone else. A Shinigami can see both.
Still loving these reactions, and kudos for the long discussion. Deathnote is great, but I have a hard time re-watching it because it is not a light watch, even when it is a Light watch. (pardon the pun). It almost forces you to pay close attention, and really think about the conflicts. Also, Sidoh was great while he lasted, but his voice would grate on me if he hung around much longer. For a short stint it is perfect though.
I always thought that everyone's life span was already set in stone but the way it would happen wasn't , so everything wouldn't be fated to happen but everyone would still have a set death date
The theory is that if Light's dad did not take the deal he would commit suicide a day after. So yeah he had only 2 days left. Its either this or taking the eyes changes destiny.
Wasn't it halfing the total lifespan? And not the remaining lifespan? So let's say he was 40 when he died here. He would've technically lived up to his 80s if he didn't make the deal.
@@joshiesushi No it's the remaining lifespan. They literally say it in episode 3. Ryuk says "For example, if you were gonna live another year it would be six months." So it's half of your remaining lifespan.
Yeah but the remaining lifespan can change depending on the circumstances, and that's what I believe happened with Light's dad. I believe this is why Rem died; she ''prolonged'' Misa's lifespan, so it's safe to assume L would have caught her and sentenced her to death. I don't think Misa had a small amount of days all along, from what I gather it changed when L decided to go through with his plan of testing the notebook.
@Fredward Maybe the pure act of writing in the notebook changes the lifespan of people. Like a butterfly effect kind of thing. So every time light writes a name it indirectly affects their lifespans, maybe also lowering Misa's since every name made L more likely to send Misa to the gallows.
presumably Chief Yagami would have died that day regardless, whatever lifespan he had, taking the deal makes it half but it was only at most a few hours between taking the eyes and the death at the hospital, so double that would have been his lifespan, at most he would have lived till next morning. we saw when misa was almost killed and saved by jealous that murders by other people also deterministically taken into account during your death time (molinism is false in the death note universe) so getting killed by the bullets and explosion would count as well. Only death note kills alter this.(in fact, you are not supposed to be able t kill someone directly by manipulating another' cause of death)
That might not be true for Chief Yagami because we know that its possible to do certain things that affect your lifespan. So maybe he was meant to live a full life(half now cause of the eyes) but deciding to not kill mello changed his lifespan.
@@tatrotzz3643 where is the evidence for that? it may be plausible, the death not itself may somehow add uncertainty to an otherwise undisturbed lifespan but its just speculation unless substantiated. What is solid is that mello or his thugs shoudnt have been able to kill chief yagami before his time under normal circumstances but since at least some touched the notebook, it could have added uncertainty as well? i suppose one possible piece of evidence is when naomi misora is about to give light her real license and Ryuk notices the lifespan "changing " and begins laughing, but its a little ambiguous if this is ryuk noticing and since the end was near letting it out finally or if the lifespan really changed in front of him. But if it was change, was the uncertainty her own free will or Light being the uncertainty catalyst as a death note user?
I think its interesting how the fate / death of a person is decided by default, and only the death note can change that. That suggests that Shinigami in Death Note aren't actually the cause of death itself like the Grim Reaper is in Western mythology, but instead in Death Note either natural causes or an all-mighty god decides the fate of every human, and shinigami just try to leech of the scraps of life they find. This lore gives even more meaning to Ryuk's assessment that the Shinigami have no purpose outside of self-preservation. Maybe there's some lore in the manga that contradicts this, but this is my understanding of Death Note lore.
Mello and Near competed to be L's successor. Mello's motivation was mentioned in a previous episode. He wants to beat Near at catching Kira, by any means necessary.
Even as a Kira follower .... this is the ONE episode that is Undefendable .... Soichiro was the most honorable character and a real hero. Even if this was the best way he could go, it is always sad to see, even more thinking of "Good Light" years back and see how Light could've turned out without the Notebook
I always wondered how genuine Light's display of grief was...never considered that Light would have had to kill him to protect himself until the comments section pointed it out. Tears every time with Yagami's death.
The father would have died either way, but not exactly at that time. The deal cuts your remaining life span in half, so if you count the time between the deal being made and his death you'll realize it wasn't that long, so he probably would have been in the hospital badly injured for a couple more days and then died of his wounds anyway.
Actually, the Death Note has a rule that says its involvement explicitly makes lifespans inaccurate. For example, if you killed the pilot of a plane, no one on board’s lifespan would change, but they could still all die when the plane crashes. Soichiro has been so involved with the Death Note and its shenanigans that his lifespan would no longer be accurate at all.
Also, side note Light was fully prepared to kill his father based on what he said "When the time comes" meaning he would have had his father killed all to reinforce the fake 13 day rule
The only thing that can cause changes to the destined death is the death note. Basically yes Chief Yagami was going to die in a few days but instead died earlier.
13:11 Why does everyone misunderstand when Light says "Then, when the time comes..."? - They always think he means "can't go to heaven or hell", but he has never shown interest in that rule... The focus up to this point in the episode was the 13 day rule...
Yes he never used the death note so he can go to heaven. He implied that he would commit suicide since he regrets giving up the death note and endangering other people.
So dissapointed that the anime cutting so much of shidoh's arc that it become kinda rush and weird. There should be a part of the story before chief Yagami encounter Meelo where Light working together with the president of the United States to ambush Meelo by sending the whole secret SWAT team, only to ended up loosing because Meelo using Shidoh to kill the whole squad. Thats how Light found out that there is a shinigami in meelo's side. The story ended with the president of US killing himself and the US government finally succumb to Kira made the world fall into the more darker times.
22:10 this is facinating stuff I'm not sure if the author accounted for this cuz you open a can of worm when you decide to introduce time-bending variables to your show, if he did he's a "genius". From what I understand the number above head/ one's lifespan it's fated, so when chief got the eyes and got the remaining lifespan halved, from the moment of the eye deal until he dies at the hospital bed was what? 1 or 2 hours? ... so then it would've mean he was fated to have lived "normally" otherwise 2 to 4 hours more anyway if he never made the deal....? that's when I don't trust the author to have all figured out, but let's say he did, then that means without the eyes the chief-mello confrontation plays out way different, heck it might've not even happened at all (but if so he still got to die in 4 hours max), he wouldn't know his real name so mello doesn't panic and the conversation plays out differently, the other guard might not have woken up, or even less bullets hit him in the back in this alternative universe or who knows what else infinite posibilities, maybe everything is the same minus the name relevation and he survives 2-4hours more laying in the hospital. It's mindblowing.
10:40 I'm wheezing so hard 18:30 "Sidoh" mmm And the first name goes with him huh Oh 3 comments below me negated that 28:05 I don't understand the sentiment comment Good death for Soichi, but as opposed to L, Light had sincerity behind it 34:31 ? I need to rewatch this episode and his talk with Chief Y though,, and the self preservation aspect, 38:16 my boy 💕 I got hyped at the beginning of last arc😅 39:30 in a death gr- _shi-gara-ki_ ? Shigarakira
If the Chief Yagami didn’t accept the eye deal, he would’ve died the next day. The eye deal takes half of your remaining lifespan. Well I guess depending how long he lived after the eye deal, just multiply it by two lol. And I don’t think Misa could see Chief’s lifespan because wasn’t he the owner of the Death Note at that time or just simply they didn’t see each other. That and it shows Light doesn’t care about his family or friends when his “girlfriend,” could see when they die and didn’t spend extra time with them before they died.
I always end this episode thinking back at the Yagami household as it was at the beginning of the show. How happy the family was. And now.. His sister is in a wheelchair, scared for life, and now his dad is dead. Lights mom lost her entire normal family because of Light.
Light can’t kill Melo because he doesn’t know his face but also if you misspell someones name a certain amount of times the notebook can no longer be used to kill that person so it would be extremely risky to try that especially since Mello’s name is Russian and Light probably can’t speak Russian.
Mello was raised in England, so he probably is only ethnically Russian. You have to write the true name of someone in their native language and Mihael Keehl is written in Roman letters and not in Russian.
You mentioned that it would be weird if Light lost to Near after beating L, and while I partly agree, I think beating L made Light feel as though all his obstacles were removed. In the beginning he wanted to be the god of the new world, but he was immediately stopped by L at every turn, so while he was undoubtedly arrogant and cocky in the first 24 episodes, it wasn’t until L died that he truly became the god he always wanted to be. In this new mental state he doesn’t consider anyone a threat so ultimately falls victim to his own Hubris, as seen in the previous episode, where he makes a few mistakes and gets extremely angry. Ultimately L is better than Near and Mello, however Light plays a part in his own downfall by underestimating everyone else, something he would never have done with the original L.
"He can go to heaven, right?" In episode 1 Light guesses that the reason people who use the Death Note cant go to heaven or hell is because neither exist and Ryuk says he's correct
They cut the fact that Light figured it out instantly. [SPOILERS] One of many reasons the ending to the anime is really bad compared to the manga version.
@@sidardenizdogan4622 no if you write a name in the death note you can't go to heaven or hell ryuk says it himself the author never said whatever your saying rn If so bring a source 💀
@@yugioh5145 Ryuk said that to mess with Light. If you read Death Note issue 107, you will see in a flashback Ryuk confirming there is no Heaven or Hell and death is equal for all humans.

The focus up to this point in the episode was the 13 day rule...
Light did not see Melo’s face, he cannot kill him with the notebook, that’s why he was desperate for his father to kill him because he saw his face.
Would be really interesting if you guys ever did a reaction on A place further than the universe, would love to see that. 😊
Yes he never used the death note so he can go to heaven. He implied that he would commit suicide since he regrets giving up the death note and endangering other people.
There is no heaven or hell, that was always a line said by Ryuk to scare Light or presumably anyone else. All humans go to MU (Nothingness)
So dissapointed that the anime cutting so much of shidoh's arc that it become kinda rush and weird.
There should be a part of the story before chief Yagami encounter Meelo where Light working together with the president of the United States to ambush Meelo by sending the whole secret SWAT team, only to ended up loosing because Meelo using Shidoh to kill the whole squad. Thats how Light found out that there is a shinigami in meelo's side.
The story ended with the president of US killing himself and the US government finally succumb to Kira made the world fall into the more darker times.
Nice reaction and discussion!
22:10 this is facinating stuff I'm not sure if the author accounted for this cuz you open a can of worm when you decide to introduce time-bending variables to your show, if he did he's a "genius". From what I understand the number above head/ one's lifespan it's fated, so when chief got the eyes and got the remaining lifespan halved, from the moment of the eye deal until he dies at the hospital bed was what? 1 or 2 hours? ... so then it would've mean he was fated to have lived "normally" otherwise 2 to 4 hours more anyway if he never made the deal....? that's when I don't trust the author to have all figured out, but let's say he did, then that means without the eyes the chief-mello confrontation plays out way different, heck it might've not even happened at all (but if so he still got to die in 4 hours max), he wouldn't know his real name so mello doesn't panic and the conversation plays out differently, the other guard might not have woken up, or even less bullets hit him in the back in this alternative universe or who knows what else infinite posibilities, maybe everything is the same minus the name relevation and he survives 2-4hours more laying in the hospital. It's mindblowing.
Mello is my little grimbly
My little meow meow
Fuck him for getting Chief Yagami killed but he's still my little skrimblo
Fun fact: L in his afterlife guided Sidoh to get his Death Note.
Eyes half your remaining life span, since he died shortly after obtaining the eyes, he would've only lived slightly longer.
He did imply that he was contemplating suicide after what happened to Sayu...
And if not, Light would have killed him 13 days later....
10:40 I'm wheezing so hard
18:30 "Sidoh" mmm
And the first name goes with him huh
Oh 3 comments below me negated that
28:05 I don't understand the sentiment comment
Good death for Soichi, but as opposed to L, Light had sincerity behind it
34:31 ? I need to rewatch this episode and his talk with Chief Y though,, and the self preservation aspect,
38:16 my boy 💕 I got hyped at the beginning of last arc😅
39:30 in a death gr- _shi-gara-ki_ ?

If the Chief Yagami didn’t accept the eye deal, he would’ve died the next day. The eye deal takes half of your remaining lifespan. Well I guess depending how long he lived after the eye deal, just multiply it by two lol. And I don’t think Misa could see Chief’s lifespan because wasn’t he the owner of the Death Note at that time or just simply they didn’t see each other. That and it shows Light doesn’t care about his family or friends when his “girlfriend,” could see when they die and didn’t spend extra time with them before they died.
I always end this episode thinking back at the Yagami household as it was at the beginning of the show. How happy the family was. And now.. His sister is in a wheelchair, scared for life, and now his dad is dead. Lights mom lost her entire normal family because of Light.
One of the saddest moments in DN 😥
I think that Misa was fated because of her beauty. She’ll get killed either way by one creep or another.
Manga said Misa committed suicide the next year on valentines day (her birthday) after light died. No explanation past that's been given.
Light can’t kill Melo because he doesn’t know his face but also if you misspell someones name a certain amount of times the notebook can no longer be used to kill that person so it would be extremely risky to try that especially since Mello’s name is Russian and Light probably can’t speak Russian.
Mello was raised in England, so he probably is only ethnically Russian. You have to write the true name of someone in their native language and Mihael Keehl is written in Roman letters and not in Russian.
great job guys , It was an interesting episode see u Next Episode thank you
I was waiting for this episode
You mentioned that it would be weird if Light lost to Near after beating L, and while I partly agree, I think beating L made Light feel as though all his obstacles were removed. In the beginning he wanted to be the god of the new world, but he was immediately stopped by L at every turn, so while he was undoubtedly arrogant and cocky in the first 24 episodes, it wasn’t until L died that he truly became the god he always wanted to be.
In this new mental state he doesn’t consider anyone a threat so ultimately falls victim to his own Hubris, as seen in the previous episode, where he makes a few mistakes and gets extremely angry. Ultimately L is better than Near and Mello, however Light plays a part in his own downfall by underestimating everyone else, something he would never have done with the original L.
this is my favorite episode, or top 3
"He can go to heaven, right?"
In episode 1 Light guesses that the reason people who use the Death Note cant go to heaven or hell is because neither exist and Ryuk says he's correct
That's not in the first episode that's only in the manga and it's at the end.
@@MrSupertallblackman Yeah it's unfortunate that they left that detail out of the anime.
@@bradstrife2211They didn't leave it. Its in the mid panel of last ep.
They cut the fact that Light figured it out instantly.
[SPOILERS]
One of many reasons the ending to the anime is really bad compared to the manga version.
Oh interesting, I've watched Death Note multiple times and read the Manga once and never caught that detail
Light was absolutely going to kill his father soon after if he didn't die from the bomb....
Think about it...
ousama ranking, please~
実写映画もお勧めですよ😃 俳優が素晴らしい
death note day 🙂
There is no heaven or hell in Death Note. When you die, you go to nothingness.
False 💀
@@yugioh5145 No, it is true. It is stated towards to the end of the manga and the author himself confirmed it.
@@sidardenizdogan4622 no if you write a name in the death note you can't go to heaven or hell ryuk says it himself the author never said whatever your saying rn If so bring a source 💀
@@yugioh5145 Ryuk said that to mess with Light. If you read Death Note issue 107, you will see in a flashback Ryuk confirming there is no Heaven or Hell and death is equal for all humans.
That's only in the manga though
Chief wasn't a Christian so he goes to purgatory for a million years.
