0:00 [Music] hey have you guys have you guys all seen Death Note hell yeah is that the is that the one with the with the girl in the all black what it's not really a girl huh the girl that's the the girl that's Al that she's kind of cute and are you thinking of the like the later season when it's a girl and then she has she's like blonde and she has pigtails that's like the later season right uh you know how the Death Note Works y you get it and then you die mhm um that's not how that works it might be a better description try again try again TR give another shot all right it's like that when you watch the video but then if you read it and you watch the video and then you die but you got to give it to the next person you got give it to the next person if you don't give it to the next person you're going to die try it again

0:50 try again still wrong but yeah try it one last time before we start wasting time on this video I know it's anime it's good it's anime okay I'm going to watch it no no no try to guess how the Death Note works oh okay what do you need like what do you need to write in the in the Death Note you got to you got to write a death threat a death threat that's free buddy that's like a Hit List no when you get it when you get it and if you're on the list to erase your name you got to give to charity to give to charity oh what charity do you think they give to in order to probably the like be coming the kid one the kid one yep uh to save the kids everyone this will said

1:41 uh save the kids hungry kid one clothe the kids you basically it's just like it's a book and then you just write the name of who you want to kill then like their age and ████ or whatever all right I try to I tried to fake that you guys out but you knew that I didn't watch it but you know what I'm talking about every every girl cosplays the girl on Death Note she's that blonde girl and then they she has like she she wears like the black leather top and then the yeah this girl everyone everyone cosplays that girl talking about her right yep yeah so um Nick's all trying to see no it don't matter the uh death so the way the death not works is what anony said you just write a name you got to do nothing write a name write name that person died that's it h if you had a Death Note your whole entire life do you think you would have used it by now oh ████ context

2:33 though context though for the anime and the premise what the guy does is he's kind of an anti-hero so he uses it to kill yeah well he uses it to kill people that have done wrongdoings got it yeah he's like a Dexter like CH yeah but then it's it's kind of gets psychological because then you start to think it starts that way right you have good motives but then the line start to blur you start to abuse because because he has to start like people start getting onto him so then he has to cross line to kill people that are going to out him to so people know that he kills people cuz there's a detective that oh I see I see that is after him so if you look at how your life went from like you know childhood to now can you think of any time where a Death Note would have come in handy I mean if I had one as a kid I think that would be completely

3:23 irresponsible me too I would have misused the crap out of it absolutely not you think you would have used it no I don't think I would have used it but I mean maybe I don't know I think maybe the immaturities would have set in and then I would be emotional and be like blah blah blah that's what we want that's that's what we want to find out then you got to spend your life looking for the life note so you can bring them back to life well that's a spin-off yeah think about that light harded spin-off yeah what you would you have used it during something as traffic not as traffic but more like I got bullied and robbed oh you would have wanted those people to I would have ████ wrote their names down soad hold hey I live in Hawaii now I could

4:13 ████ them up for you no it's okay I don't it's not even a big de stipulation though isn't it like if you if you lose it you give it to somebody what what's that stipulation in the anime about the Death Note itself because doesn't yeah there's rules to it let me look at these rules there's rules but I and also the the demon attached to it tries to mess with the person who has it so that way he can end up not following certain rules yeah okay so how do use the human whose name is written in this note shall die this note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his or her name so one of the huge things was he needed to see the person or like know what they look like and wasn't it first and last name or her name therefore people sharing the same name will not be affected yet so you got to you got to

5:04 think of the face and then you can write the name so it's it doesn't matter doesn't matter so that means you can do a president or something yeah yeah if the cause of death is written within the next 40 seconds of writing the person's name it will happen oh you have to write the cause of death yeah within 40 seconds if the cause of death is not specified the person will simply die of a heart attack after writing the cause of death details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds why so much time Japanese people like schedules their trains run on time all the time okay so there's a fake rule that was what made the the story weird if the person using the note fails to consecutively write names of people to be killed within 13 days of each other then the user will die so I think he like drops the death note he puts a fake note in it so that people get like it's

5:55 complex really crazy but for the sake of Simplicity do I think think I would use it if I had it as a kid I think I would justify being ordained some sort of power beyond measure I would also put myself in a place where like there's got to be some sort of idealistic thing and I think I would use it not thinking about people who wronged me in my close vicinity cuz I don't think anybody wronged me enough for me to be like they deserve to die but when you hear of or when you see of things that are so heinous that you're like that person should be killed I feel like being privileged with things like TV where you could see their face and I could follow the rules I do think I would and there was no justice yeah and I and then I think if I got away with it then like the first one might be the hardest but then you would get desensitized to to so OJ Simpson would have been gone also you could be wrong though too like what if

6:46 you could be but it wouldn't matter cuz you did it and then if you if you were on person if you were on person number like 43 and you were right for 42 of them one you're wrong it would suck but you would then you justify well I guess that's like the whole psychological concept of having one and and using it you would never have used it one time I don't know let's go back in time and give me one and we'll find out I for sure would have used it our how old do I get this book cuz I'm imagining myself as a kid sure am I like five or what like how old am I no from yeah from a childhood till now just had the power yeah I'd be bored of it dude cuz you're going to abuse the ████ out of it from like 6 to like 12 years old and by that time time you're like this is boring it's more fun to keep people alive stipulation that you have to up

7:36 until a certain point too with x amount of names within that time frame oh the fake rule that's a fake rule though fake rule if you believed it though which is yeah if you believed it though but just in general if would you use it or not is the question like or I think I'd abuse it yeah Little Joe come on man what about I'll see I'll do it just to see what happens do you think you would have used it if you got it in high school like just high school and you only have it for four years yes especially High School who would you have used it on other gangs yeah just guys who jump youo and ████ oh for the dumbest reasons too I'll just be like oh that ████ got my order wrong at McDonald's oh my Lord be like I was a very uh disturbed child jeez that's pretty

8:26 cool I think I would have got but also also you know it's one of those things where you do it so much that I think I would have been bored I would have been bored and then moved on to other things like the New Age of Empires 3 just came out oh ████ I'm going play that you know what but then like what if like surprise things were to happen to you like if somebody uh I don't know like um somebody scams you out of your life savings or something you know like yeah I know but if if it's so easy right like like imagine like you've been having this thing yeah by the time you're like 16 you're it's so desensitized it's almost like walking yeah but you might also feel compelled like it's been your duty you're like saving the world oh

9:17 that's true you might have a yeah like imagine like you see that court case that's online and homie whether he gets acquitted or not he did something to some like children or some ████ and the mother's crying in theom you know what I mean and then you're just like boom heart attack in the courtroom just so everybody can witness that Justice was served in a way that was no one's fault it just happened you know it's like and then and then suddenly you're like I did something that was worthy and then you just feel like it's Duty it doesn't matter if you like it anymore or not you're just like this is the right I have to I have the power I think that's but in high school I was like so ████ lazy dude I didn't even finish my homework there's no way I would even finish this thing also what makes what makes the

10:08 person who has it worthy of judgment it was just best it your G I know but it's still it's still like a like a psychological thing and like a Phil philosophical thing of like what makes you worthy of judgment whether it's right or wrong and maybe if the mass majority of people deemed that it was a right decision you're now the one dictating if you were given the power of God the only person who could have given to you that to you was God that's why you rationalize it like that but at 16 years old you guys thought that deep cuz I think I would just fire shots Non-Stop and at 40 I'd be like what have I done that's probably more realistic at 16 you're like well that guy cut me off what's his name Henry Ford uh I think the even worse shap the world

10:58 differently I think the even worst part would be like if it caught me at a really early age it might get you doing ████ just to see what would happen yeah that's what I would or just say yeah let me just watch oh look at this guy on TV on live news let me see if it whoa cool he died you know like cuz you're a kid and you're weird it's cuz young boys destructive they're more they're more like um likely to uh kill than someone older like in a robbery they say statistically you rather be robbed by like a 50-year-old than a 14-year-old because a 50-year-old won't freak out and they just they don't they won't shoot you after they take your money well there's a better sense of consequence and cost but at 14 they're more likely to pull the trigger so I think at a 14-year-old you're

11:48 you're you're kind of giving a psychopath like a okay like I kind of feel like boys are functioning Psychopaths until like they're like starting to develop and like oh having empathy and ████ they're like oh yeah yeah that's dangerous man yeah that's scary suban you have that thing filled up huh no nah you were too like I don't want to kill nobody no I just that would that never really crossed my head you know what I mean the only only the guy who stole my bike that was like the only thing I really the guy recently no no no well now I I have a lot but the guy that pissed on your tire no not even that I'm just saying uh in Hawaii I got my bike stolen by Simone dude that ████ pissed me off oh your

12:39 bicycle how did you know it was a Simone dude so I stole a bike from this kid it starts it with I stole a bike I got home and I was like I really needed this the kid Big Brother stole back I really needed this bike thank you God because I was just like I can't walk to I can't walk school every day yeah I want jack off anymore I can't I can't walk to school every day anymore or afford the bus at that time so I was like let me just paint it he GTA that ████ two days later I'm riding to bike I'm riding to school and I was like Yay and all you hear is like hey I'm like what the ████ you don't see that as karma dude of course and a Samoan dude a Samoan dude pulls up and he goes like I like your bike and I was like nah man I got to go school he's like nope grabs it right under me I fall

13:29 he he grabs it and he looked like a clown cuz it was so big we all we all knew him the penny the Simone right so you knew the guy Penny the Sone the and Penny was he's like the Debo of your he was the whole street so he grabs my bike rides it and he goes like yo this s███'s too small and throws it over the fence oh what the heck they giving it back to me damn and I was like you know what that's that was disrespectful I need to write your name on this notebook real quick that's boy bulling ████ though yeah but that was karma for sure but I feel like you forget that that book was death note and you just start writing in it like it's your diary and you would write your your crush's name in there with a ████ heart dude I don't think you're that dumb dude like if you know that you had a book that was killing fools you just turn be like oh is this my diary to talk about the girl I

14:19 like that's all but then you said you said if you write it wrong you can die no I misspelled ████ all the time no you just have to have the visual the person and the name if you right if you spell his name wrong you you cuz I'm not good with instruction sometimes like think about it like this how how triggered were we right when we found out or when when they told us Osama Bin Laden oh okay yeah you would have wrote his name oh yeah and they put his ████ picture on TV you got the face you got the name like you telling me you got a death notebook at that time you would just done it wouldn't that be crazy though if you did do it and nothing happened because that face is not Osama Bin Laden be crazy oh ████

15:09 well or you know what else be crazy if he dies in whatever hole he was in and then the war keeps on going in because they didn't find him quote unquote yeah yeah right but still you still think your actions on who you choose to die yeah you still think though you did something right the butterfly effect damn thank you that's a good movie okay how about this if you received it today do you think you would just give it back or would you actually keep it around I'll keep give it back to what like would you accept it I mean isn't it something that you just find yeah well let's just say for imagination's sake if if you could have it now or you can decline it I don't know if I would I would want that responsibility I want it I think I think it would be too heavy regardless of whether or not you are making quote

16:00 unquote good decisions or for the greater good I think it has a ripple effect and I think you don't know all the answers you give it to me okay yeah so I would definitely give it to Joe no you know why I feel like whether I choose to use it or not I can protect the book from being into the wrong hands oh so just you having it he's the keeper okay you're the keeper if I if I don't want it to be used at all at at least it's under good there demon following you around everywhere no thank you brother oh that's right no but he's Japanese he speaks Japanese I don't know what he but you know what though sometimes eating apples I was so lonely that nobody would play Legos with me I think I would like a demon if I was a kid cuz maybe he'll

16:51 play Legos with me talking about it right now okay that's nice to know though yeah right now all of you guys would would decline it oh yeah absolutely that's too much too bur I don't I don't honestly have somebody in my like like I would you know what I I it would be the perfect pairing if not only I got the death notebook but also the Epstein list wa that's cool oh yeah I want this that's a cool side quest you know what I mean what do you want to do with those because I would pick the ones that I really think are the closest to having done that I think if you touching the child's the children's what if you got dial what if it then comes out that the EP list had a bunch of names someone just put on there right and what if there are people who were innocent and they didn't get trial and now it's my

17:41 new detective life to figure out who put that list together and I got to use the and you find you made me kill so many people and then once I get them I put my name in there suicide but you spell it wrong and you die anyway see that's my biggest thing is like if you have to spell it correctly honoring your own death don't you have to spell the name correctly or your own name Anon you do right I'm sure you do what you have to spell the name correctly right probably sure that's part of it yeah I would probably write all these names and they wouldn't even get killed like him yeah cuz you're dyslexic so you you would not want it today from now on just to keep it just in case some something goes down maybe maybe actually if I could if I could stop the

18:31 war can you guys just the typ of Stu you do if you even if you don't want it if you guys ever get an opportunity just say yes cuz you can give it to me okay thank you I'll take yes I'm I'm thinking less about world issues and more about like my own circle circumference yeah it's like what if there's a guy that's like suing me for something I didn't do he could ruin my life you know what if somebody kidnapped me and you could kill that person exactly yeah he's got to be able to see their face that's true so that's also FaceTime what's your name what's your name full name NH age I can't spell what quick look just a quick look yeah no K will just take a picture of them and just send the text real quick and in the full name that's right because I still have access to my phone to kidnapping that's and then they take it away from you right some sometimes I I feel like there's also less chance of what you're saying with like Butterfly

19:21 Effects if I'm not doing that to world leaders also though also what if the Death Note like cuz you could write cause of death as long as you do within like a short period of time what if you also do like peacefully in their sleep and then there's a couple situations where you're also like it's you're going to you're going to cry and it hurts you to do it but you're doing it in of them does that ever happen in Death Note no oh that would be good wow that's nice wait in Death Note can you save them no after you've written it after you can't erase it I don't think so I don't think so maybe I don't want the book then yeah why you think you'll have second thoughts cuz you want to regret writing somebody that you want to kill no I just don't believe I have the power and the will to take over people's life you don't have the power that's what the book is man just said G man said

20:12 that oh I'm the G man I'm G man said that oh I'm gun man I am the angel so you don't you don't see it you don't see a correlation between like having somebody at gunpoint versus just being able to the book I'll take the book R I'll ████ keep it I'll keep it with me if I don't like I however there is something that's that feels more easily I guess like cop in ending the life of someone whose name you don't know yeah I probably wouldn't give a ████ yeah I do it yeah but it's imminent threat that's why you justify it cuz you're like I had to it's not for me it's not for fun you know I'll hustle I like yo who you want you got a problem with this guy okay take bits so you're assassin now yeah so now you even you have even less personal attachment yeah that's cool 30 grand 30 grand that's

21:02 good that's good that's a little business I'm not doing it I'm just writing the book I don't think you should use it for those purposes if you want to do that you could just you could just find one rich guy and then on cause of death put emptied his whole bank account into mine and died from the shock that'd be crazy that's funny but the problem would be this be this would be the problem this would be the problem you have in the book knowing there's other people with books there's one book all right I just take the book you didn't watch this he changed his mind up ass you watch it no I haven't watched it where can we watch it Netflix I think but you know what it is too is I think is it sad yeah it's sad I think having having the book makes you live life differently and I think that's the problem for right how do you live your life yeah with with

21:54 knowing that this is going to be a part of it yeah there was an cuz there was an episode of Rick and Morty where they learned they were able to save the game of life so they could do anything they wanted and just reload the past save and they would just try doing all these horrible things to people like and they just reload reload and reload like it never happened and then at the end like I something happened where it ended up making all of those things true and then all these people came after them yeah oh cuz they were alternate universties exactly so they weren't really erasing it it was just happening in Another Universe yeah
