battler would actually pick up the death note by accident at the start of events. then someone would have half-jokingly suggest that light is kira based on his dad being a cop within like 30 seconds of starting, but then he would get distracted and spend all of his time trying to investigate ray penbar or light's dad or whammy house or misa or whatever, while insisting that kira must use some kind of long range poisonous gas or tiny self destructing drones that fly into the victim's aorta to block it or something
at one point he would see ryuk (because of the earlier death note touching) next to light and insist that it's a guy in a costume who must have used a mirror trick which is why nobody else in the room could see him

Genuine question as to what counts as true name though, because in theory Battler's "true name" via Shinigami Eye rules might actually be "______ Sumadera" based on whatever name Kyrie might have chosen for him before he was swapped with the stillborn Battler that Asumu gave birth to. But Battler Ushiromiya is the name he was given as a newborn, legally registered as, and listed in the family registry under, so it could very well count?
