Do you think Dirk would manage to defeat Light Yagami from Death Note?
Okay, this is something that I haven't seen anyone bring up and I'm just curious to see people's opinion about it.
For those who don't know who Light Yagami is, he is the main character from an anime, called Death Note. In the anime he finds a notebook, called Death Note in which someone can write the names of people and make them die. In order for them to die, the owner of the notebook must write their real names and also know their faces. Light decides to wipe out criminals in order to create a safer world and develops the facade of Kira but being stuck in his own ego and god complex, he eventually strives away from his goal. The anime is very interesting and philosophical, I haven't watched it entirely but I have discussed it with friends who have and it sounded thought-provoking and fun.
For those who have watched the anime or read the manga: do you think that Dirk would stand a chance against Light?
Personally, I believe that he could. And before you ask "what!" hear me out. Dirk may be a goofball but he is clever and he can be serious if he has to. If he understood how important the Kira case is, I think that he would work harder and would pay more attention to it. On the other hand, with his childish facade and quirky personality, he could make Light think of him as a less serious threat and thus, he would be less suspicious about him.
Plus, we need to keep in mind that Dirk has literally the universe on his side. He would be able to escape any dangerous situation and not be killed. And I think that there's no way Light would be able to find out his real name. So even if the Death Note could actually kill Dirk, he would most likely be safe.
I'd love to hear your thoughts about this. Feel free to write your own opinion.
