== Why don't you just run? ==
* In the [[Grand Finale]] {{spoiler|why doesn't [[Villain Exit Stage Left|Light make a break for it]] '''''before''''' getting shot multiple times? ([[Look Behind You!|Hey look at the distraction!]])}} Just write small...
** You think Near would actually fall for that? A gushing fountain of blood barely worked.
** Probably not on Near, (* [[Face Palm|Face-palming]] in the background* ) [[Surrounded By Idiots|but it wouldn't have to if it worked on everyone else,]] Near already did the damage he could do for the moment, now the immediate threat is the guys who are physically fit, carrying guns, and inclined to chase after him...
Line 325:
** If it were live action they could probably pull off a similar red eye effect like you get with camera flashes, it's a little odd to hold a cartoon to a higher standard of realism
** It's also for the purpose of [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]].
** [[The Corruption|Well when using a dangerous otherworldy artifact there might be some side-effects.]] (Side-effects may include insanity, death, and [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red eyes]].)
Line 636:
*** A more accurate reading would be "weren't you paying ''any'' attention?" I suppose the salient point is that Light is not on the defensive until he absolutely has to be - that hardly makes him stupid, though. L has the same mindset in their little tennis match: witness his decision to bring Light into the task force.
** Don't forget both L and Light get perfect marks on their university entrance exams. Now compare, Light having been going to school and to an academy in order to prepare for this exam, and L just doing it in order to catch Kira.
** By that same token you have Light coming from a "normal" background, going to a normal school (i.e. [[Surrounded By Idiots]]) and he is able to play the game with L--who in all likelihood was [[Super
*** The thing about perfect marks is, there's no way to know who would have done better. Maybe, if the test had been harder, Light would have won; maybe L would have won. That's part of the beauty of them both scoring PERFECT, instead of just both getting, say, 98%.
** Its worth noting that the only reason Light becomes L's prime suspect is because of a series of events set into motion by Naomi Misora's death. Naomi Misora's presence was something Light could not possibly anticipate, and until that point he had remained almost entirely in control of the situation, without ever doing anything which could point directly to him. Misora entering the equation was something he had to deal with immediately, otherwise he could be directly implicated, and his ability to effectively improvise with that shows great intelligence. He also could not anticipate that her disappearance would send L along the train of logic that would lead him to suspect Light. Everything only starts going wrong for Light when an entirely unpredictable variable becomes part of the system.
Line 700:
*** It's unlikely that that would do much to stop the world governments and media. As an above troper mentioned, even reporters would censor names from their reports for fear of legal ramifications (in some countries you can sue for just about anything).
** During the timeskip, Light, as the second L, orders that the media stop broadcasting the faces of criminals, and in response, people post information about criminals on the internet.
*** Which brings up a major problem I've always had with Light. How does he know most of the people he's killing are guilty of anything? An arrest isn't a guilty verdict: innocent people are arrested all the time. Hell, innocent people go to ''prison'' all the time, but Light isn't even waiting for the trial. He just sees a name and face, and starts scribbling. If [
*** Or to put it more simply, Light's turned "trial by media" into all-out "execution by media".
*** Yes. Because Light is a sociopath with a god complex, who has appointed himself Judge, Jury, and Executioner. This is just one of the many examples why he is the [[Villain Protagonist]] and not [[The Hero]].
