Why did L reveal the fact he was only broadcasting in specific regions of Japan? L could have continued investigating in secret knowing Kira is likely in Kanto, instead of risk Kira secretly fleeing and going to another country entirely.
Because he knew it would make Kira panic and more likely to make a mistake

seriously though that's like #200 on the list of plot holes

Reasonable. A lot of reasoning was mind games in the show.
But there is still a ton of flaws.
>>138678947
if Kira fled Kanto/Japan the suspect list would narrow dramatically, Kira could not have fled, lest he doom himself to capture.

Because it's impossible to realistically catch a smart death note so the anime had to make a ton of logic leaps to advance the plot and give L a chance.
>>138678947
because it might make him paranoid and make him start making mistakes, it worked to some extent

Basically this. The largest leap is just assuming some kind of outside magic is the cause. Realistically, Kira could have kept killing with impunity and no one the wiser, forever.

Pretty much this, though L's reason for doing it was mostly because he wanted a "total victory."
L pretty much knew "Kira = Light" without much time. Yet to him, it wouldn't have been much of a challenge/victory to just detain him and investigate things from there.
