I agree with you, it seemed like Light was deliberately made to lose just because of good prevails but just leave that. Speaking of only and only wits light had a slight edge over L without considering their positions, But even taking into account Death note and L's position, Light seemed to use his cards better than L used his overly large resources, like how his plans spanned over a large time also the limited access and resources he had, other than the note. As well Light relayed less upon emotional factors(only used that where it was possible like with Misa and Takada) whereas L tried to fake light into 'First friend' thing which he should have known Light will not fall into. At the end of the day, L's notion of justice was definitely superior which along with his skills were enough to make him a legend and more appealing even in our real world, because deep down our conscience also knows what is right and always sides with it.

Something about "I've seen you right from the start" is the most powerful and heart wrenching line of this song/musical. It's right up there with "I don't care who gets hurt now as long as I get one more shot".

”Don’t you see that you will die today” and ”feel how a minute spends now, when you wish you had one minute more” are most powerful ones for me. So wonderfully sadistic and sad

I'll cry at almost anything, but this had me absolutely broken- I think that when a lot of people think of L, his calculating nature is seen as genuine disinterest and detachment, but it all comes from an isolation. This song makes him so perfectly human, but so perfectly L; he's distressed, he's desperate, but he's also falling back into metaphors of cameras and technology, the things that have replaced his social interaction and essentially made him who he is. I think part of what makes this song so upsetting is that while L has always been so fixated on winning, he's still just human, and it hits him when he knows he's about to die just how much he's lost.

Curiously enough theatre writers seem to comprehend how to create adaptations better than their hollywoodian counterparts. If you put them side-to-side you'll see how differently they handle the core concepts of the original work. An example, Broadway's Beauty and the Beast understood the story's core message better than Disney's live-action, adding new scenes and extending ones where it was due for developing the thoughts that were *already* there instead of nitpicking at details and facts irrelevant to the plot ahead, whose only purpose was to please the audiences who could *barely see past the surface* (like assuming the villagers found Belle odd for reading when in in fact they found her odd for preferring to drift away in fictional stories instead of finding enjoyment in the provincial life they thought it was so good for them. It was common for women to read in the 17th century, the B&TB novel was published in a magazine for women during the same period! Thing is, Gaston is a chauvinitic pig who disapproves of this because it doesn't serve *his* interests, that's how self-centered he is! If he sees no benefit in it, so shouldn't anybody else.). Long story short, theatre plays mindfully deconstruct the story they're working upon from top to bottom so they can comprehend what's it trying to say *before* they carry on with the adaptations, this ensures the messages and thought processes will be kept as loyal as possible and won't be lost with unnecessary changes.

It’s his pride to the end, right? It’s really depressing how much he wants the victory, not necessarily L to die.

The thing I love about this songs is how human L sounds. The little laugh at the start is super depressing, because everyone knows this is it and his last moments. I love the semi duet at the end, and the way their lines merge together. L’s lines are super well done, extending much longer almost as if it’s him trying to hold onto life: “Like a closing door” And then their last two lines they both sound so sad, and it’s quite depressing. This song really made me appreciate L more. Edit: everyone’s thoughts on these songs are the best :) “...but you were with me all the way,” is the part where you can tell Light doesn’t necessarily want L to die, even if that means his victory. A lot of other comments have said this sounds like a breakup song, and it honestly does. I don’t know if that makes this song better for the undertones it adds, or just sadder. I think it does make the song better.

For L fans - this song represent sad, torture, disappointment For light fans-this song represent the beginning of new Era, the age of justice and kira For those who are feeling happy and sad, I can understand why, as without L, deathnote was missing something, it's like a batman series without joker, burrito without sourcream

I think that the way light talks in this song compared to a song like “where is the justice” really shows how the power took him over, at first it was all about helping people but now he is thinking about power and is using things like manipulation to get his way.

The most tragic part of this song is L's singing voice getting weaker and weaker as he repeats the line "like a closing door." The first time he belts it out with so much raw emotion and goes up on the end of the note. Then the second time he goes down on the end of the note as if he's realizing there's no more point in fighting. And the final time he sings it so resigned like he's accepting his inevitable death :( It makes me so sad!

It's injustice. For me at least. Regardless of whose side you were on the fact remains that L saw through Light the entire time, L KNEW he was Kira from the get-go. L did everything right. But it wasn't enough. Whether it's because you believe Light was smarter, or just luckier, he still came out on top. And L, the character who had so much faith in his skills, was left in disbelief. And you can hear it in L's voice and in the lyrics, and it just seems /wrong/. To quote an earlier song; where is the justice? At least, that's how I feel. 😅

Can we talk about how it goes from flickering to drumming? It talk about how his(Light) power is growing, and how L’s light is dimming and dissipating

1:10 “a pawn upon a board” aways gets me such a good line

the way L sings 'like a closing door' literally gives me chills

I kinda like this ending in the musical more than the anime. Here Light actually confronts L as Kira and they both die at relatively the same time, so even though Light beats L, it's not by a lot. I was not a fan of how L died in the anime, never actually receiving total confirmation that he was right about Light, so he couldn't even die with that small victory. And then they replaced him with N, who was was basically exactly the same character as him, so it was pointless to kill him and end their rivalry just to replace it with another one. I like this style better: two ultimate rivals face off and neither comes out on top.

This is my favorite song from the play. L realizing that what he's doing isn't him, that he wouldn't do what he is doing on a normal day, but to him its not shocking until Light comes in. Light explaining everything, L still trying to fight back even though he knows he is about to die. The writing in this show, the ending, it's even better then the already iconic Anime. It's sad that this is just a demo, it would really do well on Broadway. Also I know I'm not the first to point this out but... I wish L's first verse was in the Japanese Version, it really shows his point of view well.

But WHY is L's first verse cut? That's the one that almost makes me cry. ;-; EDIT: Category: Comedy. Yeah, KZread, that's exactly how I'd describe this song. See that tears of LaUgHtEr? EDIT: The little laugh Light has on "My power just extends now" gets me everytime. Ow.

Something I noticed was in the entire musical L has the higher parts to Light. Somebody suggested that it gives ideas that L has the moral high ground despite being morally the same as Light. But anyway at 2:07 Light has a higher note than L. I think atleast. But it's weird bc the whole musical L has the higher parts except for that line

I suppose this is the best place to point out that Rem was an idiot. In the anime (And possibly the manga, but I haven't read the manga) Rem sees that Light put her into a trap. Why would he want to put her into that sort of trap? Not only to kill L, but to also remove the one protection Misa had, which means that he would have the ability to kill her if he wanted to, which is exactly the sort of thing Rem would NOT have wanted. So allow me to propose an alternate option that Rem could have taken if she just stopped to think. Rem says something along these lines: "I know who Kira is, and I can tell you if you will spare Misa. She's not your main target, and continuing to go after her like this will fall right into Kira's plan." L is the sort of person who would accept that offer, since he doesn't have an interest in capturing Misa, or 'second kira.' Rem says that Light is Kira and boom, there you go. Course, I would have preferred that L be the one to take Light down, but Light being too clever for his own good works too.

Teddy Zorro Well, Rem is lovestruck and not thinking clearly, that's part of it. Also that would still be directly interfering with the lives of humans and therefore still not allowed. Consider also that she can see everybody's lifespan, and the fact that a human has to touch a Death Note to see her.

@teddyzorro

6 жыл бұрын

The lovestruck part is acceptable. It doesn't exactly excuse her being an idiot, but it helps. However, as I recall, Ryuk said a lot of stuff that further incriminated Light at the very end, so I would have thought that simply speaking was allowed: it was just writing names down that vaporizes a shinigami. Perhaps the manga explains it further, but, as I said, I haven't read it. Not sure what her knowledge of lifespans has to do with this. Didn't like, the entire task force touch the notebook before Rem started killing people? Also, might want to change the title of the video. It has a typo in it.

Also Misa told Rem to protect her happiness. Rem knew without Light, Misa would be unhappy so having Light caught was what she wanted to avoid too. In a manner, she knew he wouldnt kill Misa and he didn't. So through her death she was saving Misa and Misa's life of her version of happiness with Light.

@teddyzorro

6 жыл бұрын

I realize that Misa's happiness was also what Rem had in mind, however I fully believe that Light would have killed Misa if it suited his purpose, and I doubt that Rem knew exactly what he was going to do next. I suppose it all comes down to whether Rem could see what is actually best for Misa past what Misa wants.

@min-leemacdonald763

6 жыл бұрын

Honestly, the issue that Rem faced was that Misa was psychotic levels of devoted to Light. It tied her hands, because if Light lost (if she killed him, or ratted him out, or L just got the upperhand) then Misa lost. Misa would have refused to live in a world without Light. So Rem, who refused to have a world without Misa, was forced into the role of the puppet. Personally, if I was Rem, I would have acted when Misa and Light gave up ownership of the Death Note. I would have waited for them to be released, and then imterferred before Light could touch the Death Note. And I never would've let Misa retouch the Note.

He is taunting L, right up until his very last "a minute more", when he feels a little regretful because now his only equal is gone and the game is finally over. He doesn't necessarily miss L as a person, just his intellect and the way he posed a challenge to Light, which no-one else ever did.
