Why did L trust the handcuff so much?


Episode 20

> **L:** If I die, as long as I have this (handcuffs), you'll share the same
> fate as me

Okay, excuse my language, but what is up with that? It's just a handcuff,
you'll be able to chainsaw it or something!

If L thought that far and actually made the chain indestructible (Maybe he
used titanium or something!?), we would have probably been able to pick it.

IF (highly unlikely) L actually took every precaution, **L's body** is not
going to be as strong as the metal.

So why did he trust it so much? Was it a bluff/joke?




It was indeed a bluff made by light

Following this info it would mean as long as Light is bound to L he could not
use the notebook. Meaning he would die after 13 days, this would render the
book useless so L would die as well as he touched the book before hand.
