Death Note E 9+10

'Anime-protag hair' = 'anime protagonist hair.' Anime characters commonly have wild haircuts and colors, because the animators can't make fine facial features so they rely on hairstyle and color to allow viewers to rapidly distinguish between characters. But back to Death Note... If you've been thinking along with the rest of us, you might have some idea on the conditions under which you would personally use a Death Note. However, consider this hypothetical - a number of serious thinkers think there is a significant possibility that we are all living in a simulation: if you could prove to yourself that you were living in a simulation, would that change your decision on when/whether to use a Death Note?

The rule of the Death Note you didn't understand mentions something that has already happened in previous episodes. "The conditions for death will not be realized unless it is physically possible for that human or it is reasonably assumed to be carried out by that human". This means, that, for example, if someone is in jail, Light cannot, through the Death Note, make them write something in a wall outside jail before dying, cause they have no means to get out. Same if you he writes the name of someone and details for them to die miles away from where they are, that would be impossible to teleport someone that far in a short time. Light even tested some of this trying different people to die in certain ways that were to him impossible, and that's how he figured out how it all worked. What the Death Note could and could not do.

L revealing himself to Light is still one of the best scene in anime history

I've just caught up on your reactions to this show, I'm enjoying your thoughts on how things are unraveling! Death Note was my first ever anime, growing up as an artsy kid I had a prejudice against the entire genre for being too over the top and generic in how things were drawn, Death Note turned that all on its head for me when I picked it up in junior high. I was also super religiously convicted as a kid, and the morally grey questions the story poses really jarred me out of my black and white thinking. Stories that make you wrestle with what's right and what's wrong and recognize that its never as simple as 'Good' and 'Evil' are so important, especially today where so many people seem stuck in that kind of mindset.
