i genuinely love L so much and the fact that his strategies are completely impossible in real life but totally work within the logic of this show is exactly why anime is great. i can just turn my brain off and enjoy the impossible

MATSUDA YOU ABSOLUTE BUMASSSSSS i was literally screaming at the screen. and then i realized that his complete stupidity actually just sent the plot to an entirely different level and i had to start appreciating it even while still being furious.
