Death Note, Vol. 12: Finis by Takeshi Obata, Tsugumi Ohba
5.0
I'M GOING THROUGH THE WORST HANGOVER IN THE HISTORY OF HANGOVERS LIKE LITERALLY SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP I MISS MY BABIES SO MUCH
---------------------------------------------------------
I'll be reviewing the entire series here, so obviously
! SPOILERS !
Death Note
The series started off soo good. Phenomenal. Astronomical. Absolutely ground-breaking!
Death Note is basically a chess game between Light and L but only that L is blindfolded.
Light and L are THAT unbeatable power dynamic. They are the same person. Different sides of the same coin. Throughout the first half it's a constant battle between them to outsmart each other. There's a war between the fans on who is more smart? I can't choose! Both are so witty and meticulous that it drives me insaneeee!!!
L's broadcast to dig out Kira's location without even talking to him!? The way he so intricately read into his actions and immediately told the world that he lives in japan. My man's a fucking genius!
And Light's plan to revoke his ownership of Death Note and lose his memories so that he can be deemed innocent and get himself completely off L's radar!? BRILLIANT!
But if I still would have to choose, i'll no doubt declare L as the ultimate masterhero of the game. Think about it!
Light + Misa + 2 Shinigamis + 2 Death Notes + Magic = L. (he doesn't even know the rules of the game he's playing)
The first half was too perfect. And you know what they say, perfect doesn't last forever.
I think things started going off rail from the yotsuba arc. It was witty yet extremely unnecessary and it draggeddddd. I don't even remember the names of the businessmen who died. Nobody gives a fuck bro.
And L's death was my last strand. Although I do think it was reasonable, he had to die sooner or later, but that should have been the end of it. L's the smartest person in the entire anime and if Light managed to beat him, then there's absolutely no one who could've stopped him.
Another possibility could've been L beating Light and they both dieing in the end?? Idk seems fair as they are so equal that at one point I started thinking it's impossible for any of them to win. L always knew Light is Kira but he needed the absolute hardcore proof to fully convince himself, as this is how Ryuzaki works.
Point is, the ultimate battle should have been between L and Light. Ending could've been anything. Light wins or L wins. Or they both lose. It's too unpredictable. But it should have been L and Light. The ultimate showdown.
Near's and Mello's introduction to the story threw me off guard. Not the writers killing off L but the absolute audacity to bring in his clone as the main hero! Don't get me wrong, I find Near cute, but he stands nowhere near L.
At this point you could sense the writers rushing this. Near, who knew absolutely nothing about the case before joining the SPK, was almost too quickly able to deduce the fact that Light Yagami was Kira and my man was CONFIDENT. It was too easy for him to trick and catch the evil mastermind Light. Something that took L loads of mindfuckery to get to.
And that ending!? WEAK ASFFFF
I was hoping to see the ultimate-minfuck-of-games-and-tactics-showdown between Light and Near but what was thaaatttt!?!? Light played it good but Near overthrew his game (please let's be real it was so unrealistic. Carbon copying the exact clone of death note to the microscopic level within a day is insaneee. them writers be trippin') But yeah since the villain has to die, let's do it however we can.
Also mello died soo easily!? Don't fuck me with that hE sAcRifIcED HiMsElF bs. We all know damn well he ain't the one to do the useless charity work. The way these writers were showing him to be so witty and one of the another major obstacle for kira? All that for him to stupidly die in that way? boooo
Also why did I almost cry at Light's death? I hated that man. (like i literally flipped him off everytime he appeared on screen and considering he is the main character i'm surprised how my middle finger is yet attached to my metacarpels)
These characters, good or bad, grew into me overtime. L's my absolute favourite off all time (no debate AT ALL) but what can I say, Light is that evil sexy bastard I can't get enough of
