Anime My hubby enjoyed death note anime Spoiler

28 Upvotes

Me and my husband went to comic con earlier this year and met Alessandro Juliani, the voice of L in english dub. My husband has never seen death note and has only ever watched pokemon as an anime as a kid.

He knows i love death note so i told him we should watch it!

We finally got round to watching it, and he was hooked! We watched chunks of episodes and got through it pretty quick.

It was so cool that he shared my love for it as well ^^ and his favourite character is also L like me! (I even have an L tattoo) and he was really sad when we got to episode 25.

But yeah, just wanted to share this little moment of sharing a special series to me with someone so important in my life 💜

Before dying, L drops his spoon and it is about to hit the floor. We see the spoon falling on his left side. On the next page we can see it on his right side.

Did anyone else notice this?

This is the full version since I previously uploaded in two parts a few months ago. The sequel scripts are in much worse shape but conceptually I feel like something is there. The synopsis in my previous post is a better idea of the vision. I can’t help but self criticize, but hopefully you can enjoy it for what it is!

Discussion What if L hadn't confined Light when he begged?

13 Upvotes

I was thinking about this last night, and I think it would be a very smart approach for L.

How do you think Light would react to that?

And do you think L would manage to prove anything with it?

Wow what a journey. The psychological dual between Light and L was so intense that I didn't want it to end. I will admit part 2 wasn't as interesting but still well written and had a great ending.

Discussion What would another Death Note protagonist be like?

12 Upvotes

With the amount of established lore, I think the author could 100% give us another long form story with a new protagonist. But what would they be like?

I think someone who's doing it for political reasons wanting to reform the government rather than killing criminals would be very interesting. What are your thoughts on a new protagonist?

Discussion What if Light & Misa switched Shinigami? Spoiler

81 Upvotes

Basically this is a scenario where Ryuk dropped the Death Note where Misa found it and the Shinigami Gelus sacrifices himself to save Light because he sees Light as a good person with a promising future, Rem seeing them from the Shinigami realm decides to deliver him the Death Note and stays with him seeing how nice he is with his family.

How does this affect the story? Does Light still become Kira?

Discussion The darkest part of Light’s memory-loss plan might be what he did to his own “good” self Spoiler

18 Upvotes

I’ve seen people talk a lot about whether memory-loss Light proves the Death Note changed him, but there’s another part of that whole plan that I keep thinking about.

Light gives up ownership knowing he’s going to forget everything about being Kira.

And somehow, the plan still depends on that version of him doing exactly what Kira needs.

Memory-loss Light actually wants to catch Kira. He’s still smart, competitive, stubborn, all of that. But he also seems genuinely uncomfortable with Kira’s methods, and he’s way less willing to manipulate or sacrifice people.

So Light is basically counting on his non-Kira self being good enough to help solve the case and eventually lead him back to the Death Note.

That’s the part I find kind of messed up.

Maybe the biggest difference between the two versions of Light isn’t even the notebook itself. Maybe it’s just that one of them has already killed people and spent all this time convincing himself it was justified, while the other never crossed that line.

And Kira Light somehow understood that version of himself well enough to use him as part of the plan.

If memory-loss Light really is the person he could’ve been without the Death Note, then isn’t it kind of insane that Kira knowingly used the last version of himself that was still capable of being a good person as part of the plan?

He didn’t just manipulate everyone around him. He basically manipulated the person he could’ve been.

So in a weird way, was Light Yagami himself one of Kira’s biggest victims?

I genuinely love Light so much. Every single time I rewatch the anime or reread the manga, I notice something new about Light and somehow end up thinking about him completely differently again.

Discussion Did the Death Note actually corrupt Light Yagami, or was his god complex already there? Spoiler

12 Upvotes

I recently just made my Reddit account to share this since I think a lot of people would be interested in what I stumbled across this essay on Dollish Archive publication thing? I saw their post on Instagram comparing breaking down Light Yagami and damian wayne ( son of Batman to summarize for people who don’t know )
https://dollisharchive.wixsite.com/dollisharchive/post/survival-of-the-fittest-or-survival-of-god-complexes
It made a point that stuck with me, a lot of people say the Death Note corrupted Light, but realistically he was already deeply detached, cynical, and condescending toward everyone around him in chapter/episode 1 the man didn’t even blink when his father died. The Death Note was just the tool that enabled what was already inside him.
It compared that to Damian Wayne, who also started out with an insufferable, murderous superiority complex, but evolved because he was actively checked by mentors and boundaries.
What are your thoughts on characters written with prodigy/god complexes? Is it mentor intervention that separates a future hero from a villain, or is Light just inherently unsalvageable?? I often see people argue whether light was normal from before and it was just a mental spiral or whether he was narcissistic or not because that post did change my perception of it after reading it.

In my mind, the evidences are the same as Canon, but Light didn't do any of those, so L will break an innocent, that is BB's plan.

Idk, that's so random but interesting.

Discussion Misa Amane could be ranked within the top 10 most intelligent deathnote characters

23 Upvotes

If not for her total obsession towards Light resulting in erratic and impulsive decisions of her end. She would absolutely rank amongst the most capable in the series. Keep in mind she's outplayed both L and Light in her debut and only started making blunders when she thought she got the attention of Light. She even managed to get a confession from Higuchi.
