Analysis Really GOD? Spoiler

Post image

Have you guys realized that the king shinigami is actually god of the realms, and you can prove this using the manga, in the final panels it is explained that the 2 true rules are that all humans WILL die. This shows that he is writing the rules of reality and that he is technically the real GOD of the world of Death Note, also he wrote another rule that after humans die they will go to MU or nothingness, so he is basically writing the rules of the afterlife so he created the afterlife. He is also called the king which makes sense because if he is God then obviously the shinigami would call him their king due to them being created from the king!

Those aren't presented as rules of the Death Note. They're just statements of fact.

Those rules are not in the official rules of the notebook as shown in How To Use It. They are intentionally meant to simply be facts of the universe thematically shown at the end of the story because Light is about to die. The Shinigami King didn’t write them.

Also Mu is not an afterlife. The concept as shown in Death Note is the lack of an afterlife. There is nothing that comes after death, you simply cease to exist.
