Manga Commentary
I hope everyone will forgive me for my extended absence...terrorists in London had me called away on business. I have yet to encounter anyone crafty enough to escape my detection (barring Kira, though I have no intentions of surrendering), so the case was unfortunately quite dull.
I did, however, come home to a very happy Muffin and some actual muffins, which made me very happy. (Thank you again for the clothing, Near. I'll reimburse you for anything if you have need of it.)
I also happened to have a bit of spare time, so I finally finished the manga for my fandom. I have a few reactions and I decided to share them with everyone.
Image-heavy and spoiler-filled, so I placed it under a cut.
First, I would like to say that I am in no way using this as evidence against you, Light-kun, for obvious reasons. It's just one person's interpretation of the scenario, of course.
I don't think I need to say this, but announcing victory before it is yours is, in common vernacular, extremely stupid.
Now, really. The Light Yagami I know would be able to talk himself out of this situation at least a bit better. But, as they say, pride goeth before the fall... And my death seemed to have made Light-kun extremely cocky. It's nice to know that that unnecessary inclusion had its purposes.
Watching Yagami Light--no, Kira--explode like this was very disappointing, if a bit satisfying in its own way.
And, finally...his death:
Which was so lacking in dignity I felt a small measure of sympathy for him. That, and I liked Light-kun. But, although I knew I was right, it's always nice to be proved right.
And I just wanted to say that Near and Mello did an excellent job as my replacements (and watching them work together in some way was extremely refreshing). Testing the notebook is exactly what I would have done had I been without the inhibitions of those around me. But honestly, as much as I found Ohba-san's take on this very interesting, having everything culminate in this manner was anticlimactic. I find it hard to believe that the only person to have ever outsmarted me was defeated so easily, and because of something as trivial as pride or outside interference.
*sighs* At least I have reality to look forward to.
