This was a smaller project that I made to take a bit of a break from the Yugioh stuff, so I hope everyone enjoys it!

intentionally and repeatedly mispronouncing his name, and then getting "Matsuda" perfect was inspired

[WraithTDK]

"What's with this guy? He's just a bumbling idiot!"

...and in that moment, he lost.

Logically Light probably speaks English, but I'd like to think Columbo is speaking fluent japanese with a very heavy accent.

The subtle addition of -san when he's already calling him Mr. Yagami. He noticed it was pissing Light off and kept going after it, kept needling. So true to the character.

I love how Columbo just counters the Death Note, because after all these years we don’t know his first name

The frames is what does it for me.

I like how Columbo mispronounces "Yagami" in subtly different ways to illustrate that he's doing so intentionally. Several times he even pronounces the first syllable properly, indicating his Japanese is actually good enough that he's having to 'catch' himself from pronouncing it correctly. It's very in character for Columbo to go to the lengths of achieving a high level of fluency in a language just so he can be absolutely sure he's pronouncing someone's name wrong in a believable fashion. No one else puts that much effort into looking like an idiot.

I love that the internet identified Kira as the exact kind of pompous bastard that Columbo would make look foolish. Amazing

[TheAzulmagia]

I like the implication that Columbo is immune to Light freezing time to think because he's 3D instead of 2D.

[KFP_ES]

I appreciate the universal agreement that for Columbo, the Kira case would just be an episode.

[ConsarnitTokkori]

of course it properly reflects the "literally unwinnable" matchup

off the top of my head, some of the columboisms included
• deliberately mispronouncing light's name but getting matsuda's right
• bringing up his wife in what should have been a super duper private case
• constantly making lig- uh... the opposite of heavy of the situation
• barging into the situation unannounced
• constantly patronizing light
• interrupting light's internal monologues
• constantly changing the topic before light can get a grasp of it

it all works to disarm him, stroke and poke his ego at the same time, and leave him with pretty much no option that wouldn't require not being light yagami, even before the reveal that he already knew about the whole thing
wacky stuff

[Robertrex]

Light not noticing that columbo pronounces matsuda and ryuzaki just fine, is the best part of this so far lmao

[abyssGazerTV]

The fact that Columbo gets the same VFX on him as L when he starts closing in on Kira is such an amazing touch

[rejoicingfakepriest]

The moment Light registers Columbo as a "bumbling idiot" I knew it's over for him 😂

[WillRennar]

"Oh, uhh...just one more thing."
Translation: _You're cooked, Light._

[Jx_-]

I was thinking "Would Columbo just...kill a guy?" but of course he wouldn't he's too goated

[ultrio]

Columbo skipped the entire detective part of the case and went straight to the confession, Kira wasn't even worth his time
