Was Matsuda useful during the events of Death Note? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! But before I continue, I would like to mention that there will be some spoilers for the series in this post. I'll try not to give away too many major spoilers though. So, proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! Throughout the series, Matsuda is often mocked for his lack of experience. He also seems to be a bit clueless, and he often acts before he thinks. He was a rookie at the start of the case after all. But does this mean he wasn't useful during the Kira investigation? I personally think he was actually helpful with quite a few parts of the investigation. But, he was also a bit oblivious while doing so. He did play a big role in finding out information about the Yotsuba Kira by infiltrating Yotsuba's headquarters, but he also ended up having to fake his own death to escape getting killed by Kira. Along with this, he played a big role in finally catching the Yotsuba Kira as well. But these are only a few things he helped with. Even though Matsuda can be a bit naïve and oblivious at times, he can also be useful at certain points of the investigation too. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on it. I hope you guys still enjoy this post though! As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Matsuda below. Enjoy!
