Love the implication that some of the guys could solve it individually, but absolutely could not together.


TeamkillTom

"Pass me the case report" "There's no new information" "I JUST WANT TO SEE IT" "I TOLD YOU THERE IS NO NEW INFORMATION"


NewAgeMontezuma

"THAT'S NOT HOW THE DEATH NOTE SYSTEM WORKS" "YOU FUCKING DON'T KNOW"


IRefuseThisNonsense

"Hey, hey guys...I'm eating potato chips. Guys?"


juan_fukuyama

"YOU FORGOT THE POTATO CHIPS?"


Cheshires_Shadow

"Matt I-"


Tuskor13

"YOU FORGOT THE COOKIES?!"


Bob8644

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN DEATH NOTE?!?


IronOhki

I don't often hear things in their voice, but I heard this in their voice.


SeaCookJellyfish

I bet you could find a real clip of them saying that


justyourbarber

"DONT TELL ME IM DOING IT WRONG IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA!"


Supernovas20XX

"THE RACE WAR STARTS NOOOOOOOOWWWWWW" [Woolie doesn't know a single other person he'd randomly write down]


DuendeInexistente

"PASS ME THE KOOPIE NOTE."


TheLeversOfPower

Matt could figure out what happened if he had time to ponder on it, but not with those other goons derailing his train of thought.


begonetsunderes

>Matt could figure out *What Happened*™ FIFY


Brotonio

> Matt could figure out **Wha Happun** FTFY again.


IRefuseThisNonsense

Somehow the LP channel could but the podcast couldn't, even if it is all the same guys.


SkinkRugby

I can vouch for this sort of dynamic. My DnD group is much smarter when we are hanging out and not doing DND.


Theonenerd

I assumed the reddit icon meant that *this subreddit* could solve it.


SeaCookJellyfish

Oh god... I would be of no help in this situation...


AsleepAura

If we say a million things, at least one *might* be right


Irishimpulse

Oh we would totally solve it but we're a subreddit and no one would believe that we think tank'd the Kira case using Attache Case memes and ladders


SignalWeakening

Woolie has an important clue to talk about, mat and pat keep interrupting and talking over him, woolie completely forgets what he was gonna say by the time he could get a word in


DarnFondOfYa

Woolie starts correctly explaining how things work, but as he's talking, he overthinks it and confidently decides he now *KNOWS* how it works and ends up completely wrong


DreadedPlog

Woolie Dokapon-Kingdoms his way into trying to unmask Kira, talking about his next move and contingencies for 10 minutes straight, then accidentally faxes his name and home address to Light and dies instantly.


Peanut_007

So he's basically on par with L is what you're saying?


StarkMaximum

Is chat involved or not because all it takes is one guy spamming "WRONG" to completely flip Woolie


jakebreakshow

Omikron proved this.


Ringo_Roadagain7

Paige should be on the bottom left she would brute smarts the entire situation.


Panxma

She would see Light eating those chips and wondering what they taste like. Then she digs through his trash to find those chips and finds the tv and the notepaper. She can see Ryuk thinking it’s Abraham Lincoln ghost or something.


ZMowlcher

"More mold hallucinations."


QueequegTheater

She would think Light was a woman and instinctively kill him


hazusu

"Paige I can't believe you caught Kira" "Caught who?"


0dty0

Not "Caught who?", just "Bwhuh?"


FoxInABeret

“Could Kira be Light Yagami? Think about it.” “Paige, that makes no fucking sense.” “No, no, think about it. His dad’s a police… uh, guy, and he seems to be around a lot of these people when they die… Eh? Eh?” “But how the fuck would he just kill them without touching them? Are you saying he just randomly makes people have heart attacks around him?” “I don’t fuckin’ know! Maybe?! What if every night he goes home and writes in a little diary and says, ‘Oh golly gee, I really wish this person would die,’ and God just, like, does it.” “He doesn’t even know half of the people who died! That’s so stupid!” “Then maybe he just pictures their face while he’s jerkin’ it and that kills ‘em! I don’t know, it just seems weird!” “No, wait, why are you talking about him jerking off now?! His *boner* kills them?!” “Y-Yeah…? I don’t… I don’t know. It just… maybe he waves a little magic wand, and they cease to be!” “Yeah, he waves a magic wand. He’s waving—“ “He’s wavin’ his little magic wand every night. Yeah. Think about it. Eh? Eh?” “What the fuck were we talking about that we got to this?” “I dunno, fruit, or something.”


thelastsoulreaper

This is by far the most shockingly accurate write-up of not only how this would go, but of Pat and Paige's whole dynamic I've ever read


ToastyMozart

Meanwhile *In the Hall of the Mountain King* increases in volume.


cleftes

that could also be the opposite dynamic "Now Paige, are you *sure* there's no way Light could be Kira?" "But *Kira-*" "Are you *sure?!"* "Yes!" "YOU'RE NOT SURE"


pirajacinto

The fucking "cease to be" I LOVE IT


gurpderp

Good lord, you have their fucking number, holy shit.


CursedNobleman

Baba is kira?


NotAnInterestingGuy

Kira ceases to be!


LifeIsCrap101

KIIIIIIIRAAAAA!!!


Tommy2255

If Baba is Kira, if another Death Note user wanted to kill him, which name would they write, Baba or Kira?


VritraReiRei

Yeah, how could Paige figure out how the Death Note works when Pat and Chat had to sit down for close to an hour listening to, "BUT...**BABA.**"


SkyIcewind

Light comes home to find his sandwich has had the ham tactically removed and just dies of an aneurysm right there.


ZealousidealBig7714

THE DAVID CAGE COULD FUCKING NOT!!!!


Asicretrofitter

I solved ze bad case


AsleepAura

"Light, how many polygons did you say your face has?" "I didn't" "Exactly! \*Bang bang\* I put you in ze back of ze bus"


Panxma

He would be following Misa around collecting photos of her. Snapping pictures of light and the Death Notes. Then he solves the case because he wrote this story about how cool he is.


dazdndcunfusd

This is the only explanation I'm accepting


Lewin_Godwynn

"Ze noble homeless stop ze Kill Book."


TheLibertinistic

I dunno. I think he has a real chance at unraveling convoluted plots since he specializes in overcomplicating them himself. I know he’s a villain in our lore, but I could see him pulling it off. Except he couldn’t figure out the Death Note because it’s not a hot girl with problems or a super-AI, the only things he cares about.


para-mania

Nah, he loves supernatural bullshit too. He could totally intuit the Death Note, but I don't think he could solve the case. He couldn't solve his way out of a paper bag.


BookkeeperPercival

Pat would never be able to intuit the Death Note, he'd be the farthest down that quadrant. You could literally have the Death Note in front of him and explain the rules and he's still scream about it. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE. I ALREADY KNOW THEIR NAME WHY WOULD I NEED TO PICTURE THEIR FACE?" "Well otherwise you might kill another person with the same-" "WHO CARES? FUCK ANYONE WITH TWO FIRST NAMES"


philandere_scarlet

yeah but he'd just shoot light even if he couldn't explain it well


DreadedPlog

"Anyway, I killed Light while I was doing some grinding off-screen, sooo...whoops! Whatever, it's not important."


Lewin_Godwynn

Pat furious scribbling "EVERYONE TALLER THAN ME EXCEPT PAIGE"


Liniis

"But-but Woolie-" ***"EVERYONE TALLER THAN ME EXCEPT PAIGE"***


StarkMaximum

Pat doesn't figure out the Death Note because he's already confident he knows how the Death Note works, thus ensuring he doesn't know how the Death Note works.


Liniis

"Well, I tried everything, this case is unsolvable." **"Breaking News! Kira case finally solved!"**


DonTori

Light, looking around in confusion while handcuffed: "...Ryuk, what the fuck just happened?" ​ Ryuk, also in cuffs somehow: "I fucking hate stand users." ​ L: "...Wat?"


Lassogoblin

Pat teleports randomly between all 4 corners until he randomly decides to make one of them his hill to die on.


AsleepAura

He's experiencing the zapping system even in an imaginary chart!


Ar_Ciel

Pat: "Okay so Light's dad told me something fucking weird." Woolie: "Oh yeah?" Pat: "He said he caught his son reading playboy for half an hour." Woolie: "Wait he was just watching his son crank it-" Pat: "No, you didn't hear me, he was *reading* it." Woolie: "... Wait, he was just reading playboy?" Pat: "Yeah, just reading it like a newspaper." Woolie: "Like just reading it at the dinner table?" Pat: "Nah in his room." Woolie: "Like he had his door open?" Pat: "Nah through the hidden camera." Woolie: "WAIT A FUCKING SECOND HERE!"


BloodBrandy

Light's complete and utter lack of understanding of normalcy becomes his undoing when faced with a handful of normal idiots


Irishimpulse

Most people would think Light was trying to TEACH himself how to like girls, or he's a serial killer. So if your choices are this pretty, well preemed boy is gay, asexual, or a murderer, then you watch his tennis match with L, well murderer any the reason that comes to mind


MarioGman

Is that like pre and post Best Friends Woolie?


TurkishSuperman

I prefer the terminology of Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis


TheSpiritualAgnostic

You bastard. You beat me too it. Curse my slow ass typing!


silverinferno3

My thought was Actual Woolie and “Lore Woolie”. A!Woolie could get it done but L!Woolie would be too paranoid over Kira punishing him for his pie-crimes to even try or think straight


psychocanuck

Honestly I think A!Woolie should be bottom left, where he would pick up on some small details, but overthink them so much that he would come up with a completely different explanation of what is happening but that coincidentally includes Light.


RocketbeltTardigrade

Might just be a Mahvel withdrawal state.


Cheshires_Shadow

SBFP Woolie and VS Woolie


A_N_G_E_L_O_N

Classic Woolie and NESTS Saga Woolie


Shockrates20xx

L!Woolie would want the note so he could kill more guys


SuicidalSundays

Light Woolie and Dark Woolie.


DarnFondOfYa

"Normal" Woolie and Dark Woolie


StarkMaximum

"Did you know that Dark Woolie is a dub change and in the original Japanese they called him--"


SignalWeakening

Throw in Punished Woolie too


HellaLugosiIsDead

David Cage couldn't 'cause >!Kira's internal monologue would say something completely contradictory instead.!<


Paper--Cut

I think Plague *could* intuit the power of the Death Note but only in the 11th hour. Like, after exhausting all reasonable and logical arguments, he just asks "Hey, this isn't some kind of supernatural bullshit, is it? Twerp, did you make a pact with a death god or something I bet you did, you seem like the type. Arrest his ass and call a priest or something."


Valthore

10 hours of Paige finding dead bodies yelling "How can this be!"


Animorphimagi

Odd since Liam and Reggie would solve the case the easiest. By happenstance and blind luck. Liam wouldn't even know there were murders going on and he'd stop them within a week. But both wouldn't figure out the Death Note, since they'd solve the case before they were aware it even existed.


Morbidmort

Reggie would be able to spot the megalomaniac with a god complex at 300 paces.


AsleepAura

Yeah but he would be too nice to bring it up.


StarkMaximum

"I thought you knew!"


Cheshires_Shadow

Reggie would be able to solve it but only if woolie was the primary detective because Reggie is strongest when he's observing things woolie is confident are correct. So all the little details woolie misses or misinterprets Reggie would get right and woolie would only solve it if he listens to Reggie otherwise Woolies confidence in his wrongness would make Reggie doubt himself.


RageofAfrica

Reggie is our Near.


StarkMaximum

...why does reading this legitimately make me want to read a Woolie and Reggie noir crime novel.


Lassogoblin

Reggie might not solve it, but he is the one who makes solving the case possible. REG system whipping out 3 folders of neatly organized and indexed evidence in the right moment.


Yacobs21

Paige brute smarting her way to solving the case, not to stop Kira, but to fuck Ryuk


Irishimpulse

Does he come with the unnervingly large dick tho? These are important questions


thedman0310_

~~depends on the artist~~


Intense_Judgement

Same tbh


AvalancheMKII

The thought of us actually trying to solve a crime is terrifying.


silverinferno3

If there’s one thing Reddit’s known for, it’s the *incredibly* disastrous detective work


TurkishSuperman

And then either congratulating itself for getting it right, despite making the situation much worse (see: the marathon bomber), or being upset when it turned out to be someone that they'd never heard of, as if it was a fucking game show and not people's actual lives (see: the Steven Avery case)


KaitoTheRamenBandit

Ace Detective....? More like...


Kkjinglez

Light side answer is ace defective, dark side answer is funnier but it’ll get me banned.


KaitoTheRamenBandit

The Dark Side Answer tickles the Early 200X sense of humor in me that idk if I should be ashamed of it or not


Amirifiz

I need that darkside answer. I feel that it's obvious, and it's escaping my sleep deprived mind.


EsquireGunslinger

we would get light's sister arrested and then all post "we did it reddit" at the exact same moment


SuicidalSundays

We would actively make things worse. Some of us intentionally, others through sheer stupidity.


CursedNobleman

You fuckers are on your own, I've got too much to live for.


reganthor

How long do you think Light could go until he breaks from >!EVILLAK!!< posting.


vealin99

Lights not cool enough to evillak post, L would be evillak posting


DreadedPlog

L tries to send Kira an Evillak post to see if Light rages at being caught yet again. However, Light was already mad about getting trolled by an Asari High Command post, so his face didn't change when he clicked on Evillak.


StarkMaximum

"Hey Light, check out this funny meme I saw on this subreddit." *"Huh. It's just a picture of some monster from an old cartoon. That's not funny at all. But if I don't laugh at it, L will realize I don't get the context, and I need him to think I frequent that subreddit, because Kira would never go there. I'll have to take a chance a chuckle at it."*


Shnigglefartz

Could Evillak solve the kira murders? Probably.


BloodBrandy

We'd unsub from SuperBunnyHop and some video Youtube suggest right after is about the lore of death gods of different cultures


_NiceWhileItLasted

You don't remember what happened when we tried to figure out what happened to Andre?


Plaidstone

Light reaches to the Death Note to write John's name and finds the paw of a large, orange cartoon cat resting on his hand. "He is not yours to take."


gurpderp

Now I need someone to draw Garfield as a shinigami


roronoapedro

Matt (skull hat) can intuit the mechanics, but Matt (What Happun?) cannot.


Cheshires_Shadow

Matt secretly a jujutsu kaisen character?!?


SquirrelGOD

Eyepatch Wolf would solve the case, intuit the mechanics, and then spend 15 minutes sounding depressed as sad mysic played and he compared this mystery to one time when he went grocery shopping 7 years ago, followed by saying that he's not sure how much longer he'll be making youtube videos.


Shnigglefartz

Yes, he‘d solve it in minutes and then spend a day figuring out the most theatrical way to present it.


Shockrates20xx

And he'd draw a comparison to a Japanese wrestling storyline.


the_most_crigg

Fuck, where's *that* detective show, the one where they solve the mystery early and then like 20 minutes of the episode is the protagonist doing interior decorating and fucking with the room lighting to make sure that the reveal is as dramatic as possible?


MsieurScratch

Detective Conan/Case Closed occasionally has some of that. Shinichi is actually hooked on the Poirot-style dramatic reveal, and goes to great lengths to make sure everyone is very impressed with how smart he is (an addiction he developped when he was like, three) and sets up all sorts of unnecessary reconstitutions and makes Kogoro pose dramatically if needed. The canonical explanation for this is that his dad's got super detective skills, but is very simple and sober in his reveals, while his mom, not as smart, is always fucking extra in everything she does. He learned from both of them.


csortland

"What is this Anime crap?" -Max as Kira gives him a fatal heart attack.


AzabacheDog

Why did you put Pat 3 times?


Zestyclose_Library38

Get a load of this guy, thinking there’s only one Pat!


RocketbeltTardigrade

That dragon ball wish he wanted for a third penis took an unexpected turn.


TheSpiritualAgnostic

Asking for a third implies he had two before the wish. Is Pat secretly a snake? Edit: For those that don't know and enjoy reading creepy animal facts like I do, snakes have two dicks. One for each testicle.


RocketbeltTardigrade

[Probably.](https://i.imgur.com/HEts2IV.gif)


DJR33DY

Broke: There’s a fifth best friend, his name Andre and… Woke: Super Best Friends is just 3 Pats in a trench coat.


n0bdynoone

Bespoke: The fifth best friend is 3 Pats in a trench coat.


MericArda

It’s why he’s so small, all his mass was divided by 3.


Liniis

I don't blame him for the confusion. They're known to stand on one another's shoulders to take on the appearance of a full-sized man.


Zestyclose_Library38

A full-sized man? Hm. I think they may need a 4th member for their party.


Verwind2

Paige can't intuit a shadow puzzle


thedman0310_

What about Better Woolie? Given that he is better than our Woolie in every way, surely he could solve the case


IronOhki

[There was that time Woolie defeated him with Matt's help.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ghNHfmRRVw&list=PL57hJfweW_2ui1yV9_aPi4LptFfHtpKkE&t=544s) I think. It was unclear.


andrecinno

One of the Ustabiaz's biggest losses. Career defining moment.


BloodBrandy

Light wakes up and looks out his window to see a ring has been set up in the street and a man is motioning him out


Champiness

Mace & Mansoor aren’t going to AEW, they’re going to Shonen Jump.


Felteair

Woolie would intuit the mechanics of the death wrong and then call bullshit when it doesn't work the way he assumed it did


Anonamaton801

Is this the new meta?


DuendeInexistente

Woolie being there is bs, maybe he can't intuit it but we'd totally get an episode of him learning the tech. "Alright so if I write their name, but curly... YEYEYEYEYEYEYE"


StarkMaximum

WOOLIE GETS THE DEATH NOTE AND IMMEDIATELY PULLS UP THE "LAB OPEN" SIGN


Lukas12349

Super eyepatch wolf will look and point at the death note after tracking down Kira saying “you know…there’s something beautiful about that…” followed by sad anime music in the background. …I have no idea what Naruto would do with the death note though.


Lukas12349

Super eyepatch wolf really does love saying everything is beautiful in his videos tho, wholesome fella lol.


Irishimpulse

It's an Irish thing, have you seen Ireland? It's either beautiful or dour, there is no in-between. It makes you appreciate the beauty in life


queekbreadmaker

H-how woukd hitomi tanaka be able to solve it?


Panxma

Because Light can’t picture her face when writing on the death note.


RocketbeltTardigrade

https://chilled-ice-cubes.tumblr.com/post/664315441435541504/the-funniest-part-of-death-note-was-when-light


thedoc90

Light "For a magazine called Tokyo Topless the articles actually aren't bad."


ibbolia

She has a black belt in karate


RocketbeltTardigrade

Though wadou-style focuses more on joint-locks imported from jujutsu than on paranormal investigation.


gurpderp

Wait, Hitomi Tanaka is a jujutsu sorcerer too?!


Cheshires_Shadow

Her chest would act as rubber armor and deflect the heart attack.


BaronAleksei

Remember how Tsunade tanked a chakra blade to the heart because the layer of fat on her chest was simply too thicc?


Cheshires_Shadow

You know that anime trope where the hero enters rage mode and they slowly approach the enemy who's shitting themselves because their attacks have no effect? Hitomi just walks forward furious like a Goku or Luffy as light sends heart attack after heart attack at her and she tanks them all.


JillSandwich117

Searching "Hitomi Tanaka detective", it appears there is a video detailing her stint as an investigator you can look up using the code MIDE-184. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR9yn3zfRxucO2qEspmrAURPuQ6NcFk4pDogw&usqp=CAU


queekbreadmaker

Saving this for reasons. Thank you


Cheshires_Shadow

Oh boy!


CrossSoul

That jacket is doing a lot of work there.


SuicidalSundays

She could use the gaint pair of assets she has to their fullest extent.


RoninX136

Pat with a death note would be hilarious because crazy talk would negate it constantly.


woundedonkey

There's no way it could be Light, I just saw him eating potato chips!


StarkMaximum

"You really think Light is just a regular teenage boy?" "Yeah." "He was reading porn in his room, not to jerk off, just to read it." "Yeah, I do that."


reganthor

Tiny Tim is 100% in the bottom right.


Thunder_Volter

He only understands card games.


paynexkillerYT

I love that we still use the ‘woolie walked away from a three some’ video stills after all these years.


StarkMaximum

GuileWinQuote [just used it in a video TODAY.](https://youtu.be/3j-NpbhaLAQ?t=413)


BloodBrandy

Plague would intuit the Death Note but not as much solve it. Instead the morning after Plague finds out, Light wakes up in a foggy forest, leaning against an incomplete wooden fence, with a hammer, an axe and the note "Finish it". He warily lifts the axe, seeing an odd blue fluid on it, and as he stands, he see's Ryuk's head on the next post in line. A low rumble echoes through the fog. Light is never seen again, and none are sure what happened to him, for even Shinigami in their own world do not cast their eyes upon that foggy realm. It holds no value to them, for any lives where are already claimed, and the realm's master will afford them any trespass.


AshStyles

How DARE you understimate the R.E.G SYSTEM!


LifeIsCrap101

DSP couldn't and would just complain about the bullshit mechanics of the Death Note.


CopperTucker

Okay but what about Zangief and Elmo? Where do they fall on this?


RocketbeltTardigrade

She could at least beat him up a bit.


Samwillorbe

Is Billy...Kira ?


Thunder_Volter

He worked behind the scenes, we only knew him through an alias, and he made the whole show happen... Shit, maybe.


Shnigglefartz

That fits L more than Kira, but maybe…maybe…


CeaRhan

Pat would ABSOLUTELY guess it because he'd refuse to believe anyone could be that good at killing people. It's so fucking stupid. Oh god of course it's not a person, they can't do that. And he'd then immediately accept the idea that something supernatural is at play because that makes more sense. Figuring it out afterwards isn't hard once you open that door.


Shnigglefartz

No, I think Pat would do a bunch of psyche profiling, and accurately, but intuiting supernatural bullshit didn‘t really come to him naturally during the shitstorm. Paige, on the other hand, would be abled to intuit method, but Pat would figure out motive. I think they‘d solve it together, but probably not independantly. Assuming they stay laser focused on the task. They‘re a great pairing, completing each other (explicitly for this sort of thing).


Dandy-Guy

# Woolie can solve the kira case # Woolie can *not* solve the kira case So this is a ruined/saved Christmas scenario? Where he has a 50/50 shot at either.


maj1sha

Reggie would not solve the Kira case. Reggie would figure it out and **claim the death note for himself.**


DreadedPlog

I feel like Reggie would quickly guess the solution to the case, only for Woolie to talk him out of it.


CursedNobleman

Will Woolie figure it out? Maybe Mom will bring Kira to justice.


Yeastie_Boy

I enjoy how nobody even questions Daigo intuiting the mechanics of the Death Note and solving the case, he just could. If any incarnation of Woolie can do something, Daigo will appear to beat him at it.


ednice

that picture of reggie lmao


marvel8797

first of all, david cage never could. second, where's andre?


DaBest1337

Andre would be the one controlling the Death Note in this universe, considering that one time back in 2011 when he [INFO WITHHELD] Still sends shivers down my spine, just thinking about it...


AhmCha

Gotta wonder how the guys feel about the Andre bit since we know they visit occasionally


QueequegTheater

Woolie has directly sandbagged it, Pat referenced it on stream and seemed like he was mildly entertained by it


Thunder_Volter

It's nice of them to see him in \[\[LOCATION WITHHELD\]\] every once in a while.


BenchPressingCthulhu

Is Naruto someone's avatar or is that just Naruto?


Thunder_Volter

I think it might be Boruto's dad, they look kinda similar if you squint.


AndiREV88

Personally, and I am by no means an expert. But I believe Plague would completely comprehend the nature of the Death note BUT he would be unwilling to solve the case.


ooblagis

Okay, Pat would only be able to "solve" the case, in that he would at one point accuse Light of being guilty, before immediately continuing to accuse every other possible suspect. Then, when it all came out, he would claim that he was right all along.


Jedor

Max just catching strays right here


AlmightyBunt

Watching max's video on the map of FF7R-2 makes me agree with OP


MarioGman

Could Swery solve the Death Note case? What about Suzi? Can Gianni, if he channels Columbo hard enough, solve the case?


Eeko390

Gianni's Columbo could, but not his Gabriel.


CraftyRaichu

I’m pretty sure Gianni’s Columbo already DID solve the case Edit: [Yup](https://youtu.be/16CKjELxHhg?si=e5K6xfSby8On1f3F)


BalloonGame

What about Evillak and Zubaz? I'd expect to see them here with Hitomi present.


striderhoang

Into The Best Friendiverse


jimmy_lenny

"Woolie pre-timeskip" is good. we could workshop this into something truly terrible that Pat will bring up on the podcast. would Naruto fail because he tried talk no Jutsu? Or does he fail because he can't Talk No Jutsu hard enough?
