    Light's face when he can't use the Death Note because his opponent went on a bender so bad he can't even remember his own name.

        6 episode mini-arc of Light abusing every authority at his disposal to find out his opponent's true name, "Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau"

          Nardwuar would pull out his own death note and write one letter of light's name for every question he dodges because of course he knows light's name

      if folks like Columbo, definitely should check out Poker Face - it's basically a spiritual successor

    I'm imagining Courage the Cowardly Dog babbling and morphing into Ryuk and a notebook to try and explain the situation to a clueless Muriel.

    Ironically Dirty Harry is perfectly placed. Would probably kill Light with 0 evidence and "solve" the case without any proof.

      no he wouldn't, he'd be a huge kira supporter. plus light isn't a hippie, light would live 100% of the time if dirty harry lead the investigation

      Is that Dirty Harry? The picture was so small that I thought it looked like Frank Drebin from The Naked Gun and I was so confused about how sure they were that he could solve the case.

    Unless I'm blind, I'm disappointed in Detective Cuno's exclusion.

    I was going to argue that Francis York Morgan could solve that case easily, but he does like to tell absolutely everyone his full name, maybe that would be a critical weakness

      I apologize if this is a stupid question, or if there's something in DP2 or extended materials I don't know, but would this actually work? Would the Death Note consider it York's body?

      Cause if not, Kira is going to be very confused when all that happens is sudden white hair, heterochromia, and aggressive C-PTSD.

    I feel like Edgeworth would immediately be able to catch on to the 'the killer is active during a Japanifornia school student's schedule' => 'the killer suddenly switched up their behavior so they have access to the police force somehow' tells but he would need help from Phoenix and Maya in order to catch Kira before he gets got because he would be distracted looking for a rational and non-magical cause of death from there.

    So yeah I agree with his positioning in the chart.

      Edgeworth is properly placed, but I would argue Phoenix should be in the top left corner.

      He has regular encounters with the supernatural, and his specialty is bullshitting his way to what must be true regardless of how outlandish it sounds.

      Though, I guess it depends on what qualifies as "intuiting the mechanics of the death note." Phoenix will definitely stumble his way into something close to the truth even if by accident, but whether he actually believes what he's saying is true because he arrived at the conclusion logically or if he believes it's true because he believes so deeply in the innocence of his client that the supernatural explanation must be true is up in the air.

      If "using the wrong equation to get the right answer" doesn't count as intuiting the mechanics of the death note, then I could see the argument for putting Phoenix in the bottom left. But he would absolutely stumble into accidentally describing how the Death Note works, and confidently use it in his defense because you can't prove that it's not true, even if he doesn't fully understand why what he's saying is true.

    I used to think Light was a genius as a child, but now I come to realize that Light would fall for QAnon, someone’s personal grievances, and other fake news and just end up killing a random guy because he sells hotdogs at a store that’s connected to the Reunification Church via numerology

    Also no Shawn and Gus from Psych?

    Cooper'd come within an inch of bagging Kira but his tendency to go the extra mile even when it's not needed or wanted would fuck him over horribly at the last second as he gets trapped in some godforsaken nightmare realm or whatever a third time.

      cooper would use divination to figure out the neighborhood kira lived in and how the shinigami were involved but would get distracted investigating the yakuza long enough for light to get him

    Columbo like "Death notes? My wife loves those things. Always talking about those boys down in the underworld. Anyway, let me get out of your hair Light-san. Oh, one more thing-"

    Monk is like One Punch Man. The only case he can't solve is his wife's murder. It's the whole character.
