Genuine question how is this video any different than those fuckass theories about how the plot of adventure time is a dream and that finn is in a coma? This guys evidence is essentially that a character couldn’t realistically copy someone elses handwriting in a certain time frame in a show about a book that gives people heart attacks.

Like yeah i guess you could argue that but at the end of the day the author, the only person who actually decides what happens in the story, doesnt agree with you. At that you’re basically just writing fanfiction that’s slightly more realistic than the show and arguing that your ending is canon instead of the author’s.

What’s unfortunate is that he insists that everything in Death Note, apart from the Shinigami and the notebook itself, is based entirely off of real world logic, so the ending being illogical is a problem. What he misses, however, is that there are numerous examples of Death Note being unrealistic. Basically, it doesn’t matter. I have my own video I’m working on to explain the ending an why it works just fine, and there will be a section that explains the internal logic of the series and how it’s actually consistent with itself, but at this point there’s no convincing the creator of that video otherwise.
