phoenix could absolutely intuit the mechanics of the death note. he has literally been entangled with spiritual death nonsense from the jump AND actively as a superpower that allows him to peer into the people's SOULS. not to mention the feys can probably see or feel shinigami present.

AND he would be able to bag kira in court. maybe through his usual dance routine of "don't think of why it's the notebook, think about why it HAS to be the notebook" a la von karma. or maybe bluffing and asking the court to put light's lanky friend on the witness stand a la gant. and if we're talking AA5 phoenix, this is a man who spent seven years with kristoph. light is just retreading familiar ground.

alternatively, while i think layton and luke could absolutely solve the kira case, i don't think they would be able to intuit the mechanics of the death note. in the same vein as unwound future, they would bag kira and figure out the mystery but would not believe in the shinigami until it happened in front of their eyes. after all, future london is fake but time travel is real.

#aa #pl #also . the idea of layton pointing a finger at light and accusing him of being kira #and kira laughing. like well done professor. you exceeded my expectations but im afraid you're just a little too late #and then writing their names in the book and being like hold on this usually works #and azran legacy spoilers but 1) layton isnt his real name and 2) them uh. haveing already died and come back must put a spanner in the work #like if it happens in front of them they would believe in the death note but that is not the sams as intuiting the mechanics #the layton games are all about improbable phenomena having equally improbable answers and explanations #but they are least somewhat grounded in reality #and the few times that real supernatural stuff WAS happening it really needed to happen in front of their eyes for them go Believe
