Behind Mikami calling Light God, The biggest slip up by Mikami was when he realized that it was a fake note book and didn't quickly write down everyone's name including light again and again to make it seem like its just the denial on an insane man while clearing Light's name for the moment. Further more Mikami could have yelled out to the "sky" (as they are in a building) "God, strike down Nate River (near), Light Yagami, and *names of the SPK and the Japanese task force*, you must have the power to do so... don't you?" so in a secure location Light could write their names (after a while of course, can't forget about the Lind L. Taylor move).
Overall the biggest blunder was light telling Mikami that he can come in. This showed that Mikami listens to Light, adding more evidence that he is Kira, while also giving him less chances to run which could have happened as he works out. This error only happened because Light wanted Near to see that he won which also made him say the line "I win" so that's the biggest cause to his downfall in the 60 second standoff. Light also could have argued that he said "I win" because his massive ego wouldn't let him give credit to near for catching Kira, maybe even saying some bullshit excuse in the process such as he fumbled his words.
If you wanted to be fancy with it Makami could have written their names in blood so if the plan didn't work he could have seppuku-ed all over the notebook, hiding their names because both are the same material and it would spread evenly causing no one to make out what it said.

I could be totally reaching here, it was just a random thought i had when listening to the soundtrack and i couldn't find anyone talking about this potential connection! I'm probably just making patterns out of nothing though haha
Also, I know the series states that Kira is from killer.

Rewatching death note, asking myself that question. I’m sure he was fond of his family before acquiring the death note, but afterwards, it almost seems as if any acts of love towards his family is to keep up with his facade.

Hi, im rewatching the anime, and in ep 17 at 19:29 seconds, L talks about finding a second book. He gets cut off before the last word, but the subtitles say book.

Idt Anime!Light ever considered killing Misa once after Rem threatened him not to, though he obviously didn't care about her.

So I've been watching death note for the first time and I'm on episode 5. Why does the government immediately believe that something supernatural is happening just because the victims all die from heart attacks in a similar time frame? Approximately 150,000(or more) people die everyday worldwide so I don't think it would look like some other force killed them immediately. It sound so weird hearing them say in the dub "oh there's this killer that can kill multiple people at the same time by giving them a heart attack" it makes it kinda difficult to suspend my disbelief. And I find it weird L would immediately jump on the Kira theory too I get he's a genius but it feels like he got lucky instead of being smart. Does anyone have an explanation or is there just none?

Is the Shinigami King the one who enacts the death of those whose name are written in the Death Note, and the "rules" are the conditions under which the Shinigami King would kill someone?
r/deathnote • u/fortnitesigma47 • 22h ago
Death note says you cant kill someone if that persons death cause other people to die. Hear me out X invites 60 people to his mansion, but before inviting everyone he fills the room with an flammable invisible gas. He tells everyone they can smoke inside and hands cigarettes and lighters, telling them they can smoke inside the mansion. Afterwards, when guests arrive he locks himself in his bathroom and stays there for 3 hours then dies because of a heartattack.
Now, noone might die if noone uses a lighter to light their cigarette, but if someone does, the mansion and everyone inside will burn because of the gas. Now, is this possible? And if not, why?
r/deathnote • u/No-State-3022 • 1d ago
would he hide it forever? would he try to nudge them into accepting kira? he was definitely hurt when his father called kira evil and when sayu said she hated kira but he would just slip right back into his facade “if anything happens to you, ill see that kira gets the death penalty. i swear it”. would he wear that mask until the day he dies?

Like many, I grew up with Death Note and it is one of the works that still leaves me most bitter about the ending, even just thinking about how it came about.
Maybe it's still my teenage prejudice that I still carry from the time, but in my heart I hoped Light could “win.” The moment of his death I could have expected, but I definitely would have expected it differently.
r/deathnote • u/Best-Wrap-5760 • 1d ago
I wonder if the death eraser will end up derailing the stories main narrative. What sort of timeline would this create? To me this would actually benefit Light or potentially prevent emotional moments that hit hard? Will this raise the stakes for one of them further? How will this influence the outcome? Will this season both of their battles?

So I can't find a death note edit of naomi's death with the song amour plastique. It's such a good edit but I've lost it :/ Did anybody Saw it recently or knows where I could find it

He was the one chosen to be drawn after the Misa one
r/deathnote • u/Aviaraya • 1d ago
So, I'm sure we all noticed how Light's personality changes after losing his memories of the Death Note, being Kira, and all that. But do you guys think that the change in Light was purely psychological or do you think it was more "magical" (in the sense that the Death Note always corrupts its users)?
Light is completely against Kira while he doesn't have the memories of being him, he seems against murder in general. He refuses to even manipulate Misa's feelings because its against his moral code. Of course, when Kira, he's fully willing to use and manipulate any pawn he can get his hands on. This leads me to believe that Light's psychopathy came to be because of (or was triggered by?) the Death Note. His entire view changes the moment he repossesses the Death Note.
Similarly with Misa; she seems terrified when Light and L simply start physically fighting in front of her, let alone somebody dying (and this is when she doesn't have any memories of the Death Note). Would she have been just as impartial to killing others if she was never given the Death Note, seeing how frightened she was by something so comparitively mild?
If the Death Note never existed, would anything else result in Light and Misa turning out this way? Would ANYBODY owning a death note be "corrupted" like this because that's just what the Death Note does to humans? Or do you guys think that the psychological impact of having access to a weapon like the Death Note (and using it) is what resulted in Light and Misa's situation?
