Death Note Isn't All That Smart

More problems with Light's Yotsuba plan:

-If the TF learn of the fake rule where whoever touches the dn dies if it's burned then that might prevent them from touching the dn

-what If light doesnt wear the watch

-what if higuchi was the kinda person to panic and burn the dn after committing murder

Other general problems:

-L's theory of kira being a student was weak af. kira could've just had an afternoon job and even then, only 68% of the killings had that timing. if it were 80%+, that'd be convincing. ofc it was just a consideration but the thing is light tried to play it off as him setting things up so that L could conclude this. like shut up, there's no way thats the case

-how did L know Kira was letting L know he's connected to the NPA? I get why L concluded Kira's connected to the NPA, but there was no reason why he'd be so sure Kira was trying to let him know that

-another problem with the plan to get raye's name, if the busjacker tossed the tiny piece of dn paper he got from light on someone else, that person'd be able to see ryuk and light's screwed

-L revealed himself to light even tho he could've used aiber. this is dumb bc he knows kira can control ppl so as far as he knows kira could control ppl into killing others. meaning that even without light knowing his name, light could still have him die (from L's perspective)

-whats up w/ L's test to see if light pieces together the three-photo message? anyone'd ignore the print numbers because it just doesnt make grammatical sense to put it in that order. maybe they simply didn't see the print numbers or assumed they were printed out of order

-Lights goal with passing L's tests is so he can meet the task force so they can confirm whether ryuga is L, but who's to say they wouldn't be lying? Even if they're not lying, what if L sent a proxy to the TF? light knows there were trust issues between them so it's not unlikely

-the mattress plan to save matsuda was too risky. if matsuda's position was even slightly off or if someone was close enough to the balcony, it would backfire so hard.

-why does everyone assume yotsuba kira has to be stupid just cus he asked for other people's advice? it could be that he genuinely respects the wishes of people in the company and wanted to hear them out. or maybe he's just not confident

-ion get why light and L assume namikawa is smart when he barely said shiet in the meeting they saw

-mello was trying so hard to get a mask from soichiro... does this underground criminal organization battling kira not have a single mask with them?

More problems with the ending:

-Light letting Near know mikami is x-kira is dumb cus if near never had the notebook-swapping plan (for good reason lol) near'd just capture mikami

-Light easily could've planned it out so Mikami doesn't write in the names of two Task Force members (who're controlled beforehand) so that Light's name is not the only one not written

-plus the fact that near doesn't consider the above after learning light was aware of near's plan proves he's dumb

-cameras in public places was a plot point which made near swap the fake dn in a changeroom but this is forgotten about when gevanni breaks into the bank and steals mikami's dn (the bank, a crowded place w/ cameras)

-it's rly dumb that mikami knew he had a tail on him but didn't learn his tail's name with the eyes. had he known, he could've controlled gevanni into never reporting anything when mikami went to the bank

-why did hal tell mello near has a plan? the only reason she helped mello was to catch kira but with near's plan that was finally gonna happen, so why tell someone who could mess it all up?

-mikami possibly could've just told takada to burn mello's corpse without controlling her. takada broke the window in between the trunk and mello's seat, so mikami could have her escape the truck then burn mello's corpse, and claim that after she escaped he tried to burn everything out of desperation
