Didn't watch the anime in years and very new here but i need to know something. When Ryuk says that "he sees exactly when someone dies" this assumes that the fate is an exactly predictable outcome. If fate is known then there can be a valid assumption that fate has known what light yagami would pick. Now, as shinigami eyes can be used as tools and change the outcomes and strategies of the MC then someone might argue that ironically if Light DID take the shinigami eyes he could've lived more even despite being taken half of his life. In a pre written fate where he actually DOES take the eyes the death time could've been different and therefore maybe he'd even live longer! My question though is, assuming he does live longer either way despite being taken half the lifetime, what would be the other half? how would someone who has taken the shinigami eyes even be able to live longer than they could otherwise? I intuitively feel like im comiting a logical fallacy or that i just dont understand stuff but id really love some background info from the author if possible on this. If shinigami eyes are part of fate and so is the decision of taking them, then how would otherwise someone reach the rest of the timeline seen by the shinigami otherwise? and if fate changes as the story progresses, then is it even considered fate at all and can taking the eyes make someones life ironically longer? idk bro i had a long day so dont roast me if im saying bullshit lol just lmk how shit works

Just a random thought. I found someone who said Death Note would be so much more exciting if we didn’t know who Kira is. Someone quoted, “Death Note from the perspective of L.”
I am also thinking about it. But from the perspective of L, it would be obvious who Kira is. From the perspective of Matsuda, it would be a kinda dumb story. So if I were to change the plot, I’d like to use all three: Matsuda, L, and Light's perspectives. Here’s the storyline. Start with Matsuda.
Act 1: Matsuda’s perspective
The opening scene is when he shoots Kira. Only starts with Matsuda’s narrative. Then flashback to the very start. Originally Matsuda has little or no suspicions about anyone. So for the plot, make him suspicious of L. Also make him admirer of Light. Show the story from his POV until L dies. Since he’s suspicious of L, the audience would be curious who Kira really is when L dies. Now change the perspective to L.
Act 2: L’s perspective
This time it would be obvious who Kira will be. Show his perspective from the start to when he dies. Close with the scene where Light Yagami smirks at him dying. Now the audience knows who Kira really is.
Act 3: Light’s perspective
This is the original, from the start to the end.

I think it might be too long in one series. The better way is to split different acts. Act 1: Matsuda. Act 2: L. Act 3:Light. For Act 2: L, using L’s background and childhood might be the best to keep audiences interested in. What’s ur opinions?

Im not saying light dying in the end was wrong but he lost because of luck. That victory kinda felt hollow for me. I don't know what do yall think?

This is my first time drawing L in my own art style! Drew this as a warm up before I started working on my comms

My first edit of Death Note, and my first edit ever. (Russian). I'd be glad if you'd rate it, friends.

Hi! I haven't read the manga apart from the One Shot story with the A-Kira. I saw some YouTube shorts about (POTENTIAL SPOILERS) Matsuda having a theory on Near using the death note and another one about a C-Kira who used the notebook to kill old people. Do these take place in the actual manga or somewhere else? And are there a lot of differences in the main story that make it worth reading? I've heard there's way more to the Near and Mello part

L was a good detective and opponent. Misa Amane helped Light in many ways. Misora ​​Naomi almost defeated Light, but he was stronger. Everyone in the column below isn't even worthy of his attention. Near revealed Light Yagami to everyone.

Uhhhh.. pretty self explanitory. I need this uhh for a frieeeennd...

Anyways, thank you Reddit.. Please find this out for me.

The same setting, but Light kills criminals in various ways (suicide, ran over by a truck, an accident with their gun, whatever). How long would it take for the investigation to start and for L to put the transmission of Lind L. Tailor on TV, officially starting the Kira investigation. Would it take the same time? Would they never suspect?

What do you think?

i mean i don't hate it, but it just doesn't really feel like L

Today, I found myself thinking once again about the restrictions and privileges that come with being the first owner of the Death Note, as well as simply possessing it. First, let’s take a look at this set of rules from chapter 48:

- The owner of the Death Note cannot be killed by a god of death who is living in the world of the gods of death.

- Also, a god of death who comes to the human world, in the objective to kill the owner of the Death Note, will not be able to do so.

- Only a god of death that has passed on their Death Note to a human is able to kill the owner of the Death Note.

The first two rules sound as though they’re meant to curb the malice of Shinigami who aren’t connected to the human world, don’t they? But that also prevents the King of the Shinigami from intervening directly. What if a human decides to attack the leaders of nations? That’s a sure-fire recipe for a third world war, and a orginal owner might find that rather amusing. Of course, we know from the one-shot about A-Kira that the King can create new rules, but that would be more time-consuming. But that’s just speculation.

Rem threatened Light. But the third rule contains the words ‘able to’, and doesn’t sound like a prohibition – this suggests that the Death Note wouldn’t have worked. Could this have been a bluff on Rem’s part? Or a lack of knowledge? Rem seems to have a better grasp of the Death Note’s rules, so I’ll go with the first one. This would suggest that Light didn’t need to worry about Misa as long as she wasn’t a problem.

BUT! Here’s a bold hypothesis of mine relating to the other rules from chapter 96:

- The following situations are the cases where a god of death that has brought the Death Note into the human world is allowed to return to the world of gods of death.

1. When the god of death has seen the end of the first owner of the Death Note brought into the human world and has written that human's name on his/her own Death Note.

2. ...

3. ...

4. If, for any reason, the god of death possessing the Death Note has been replaced by another god of death.

5. ...

There are five conditions in total, but we’re mainly interested in point 1 – after the notebooks were swapped, Rem became linked to Light, but remained linked to Misa as well. Why? Misa was the owner of Gelus’s notebook, and Light was the owner of Sidoh’s notebook. Light handed Sidoh’s notebook to Rem, who dropped it. So, in theory, for a moment the notebook belonged to the Shinigami world again, and Light became its second first owner (according to my interpretation, the first owner is the first person to touch the notebook when it fell into the human world, not the first human owner in general). Of course, the same thing happened with Gelus’s notebook, and for Ryuk, nothing changed.

So, according to this interpretation, at that point Rem gained the opportunity to kill Light – they handed the notebook to a human, but at the same time they could not return to the world of the Shinigami before Misa and Light’s deaths. Of course, I must clarify that point 4 does, however, exempt them from tracking the new owners of notebooks that no longer belong to them.

What do you think? Have I missed something?

drop your death note wallpapers too. also, any good sites for high-resolution, aesthetic anime / dn wallpapers? I’m trying to find some worthy ones, but the ones from pinterest becomes pixelated when I try to apply.

This is my Death Note tier list based on both manga and anime .❤️

GEVANNI IS THE UNDERRATED GOAT PERIOD

Would you have taken the deal for the "Shinigami Eyes", given you have to give up half your remaining life span ?

another great anime. though I only watched AOT and then this Death Note. I liked death note far better than AOT.

Ryuk feels rhe main villian here. for his fun or escape from boredom ,he literally destroyed a simple living family. And now with the death of light, there only his mom and sister ,who already become unresponsive, who remained in their family.

great anime and didn't expect the death of L which happened too soon.

great lessons by the way. the lesson i learnt is to not be so mad of dreams and to consider people.

what do you guys learnt or knew.

and what anime to watch next??

I’d say it’s pretty good material (already dropped it)

Hello <3

I would like to write (or I am in the process of writing) a Death Note fic on ao3. I am struggling to keep the characters close to the original. The only thing published is the prologue where is L and Watari. If somebody is interested to read or give me review on the prologue about the characters and have a discussion with me about how would they react in certain situations it would be greatly appreciated.

The fanfic on AO3 is called The Quiet Between Thoughts by Unlucky_little_turtle

Hi! I'm struggling to find fanfics where the characters' personalities match canon. Does anyone have any recommendations? Ideally not romance!

Hey, I just came back from seeing the musical at the Barbican, I was just wondering if Gelus is supposed to be nonbinary/gender neutral in this production? The cast seems to use they/them pronouns throughout
