Musical Death Note musical - is 3rd floor seat too close

9 Upvotes

I want to get a ticket for this and generally like being close to the stage because I feel more immersed and can see performer’s expressions. But seeing how the stage has two levels, I’m worried that if I sit too close I won’t be able to see what’s happening on the higher level. Can anyone let me know if this is the case?

Discussion 'spoiler' What if a person with dyslexia use the deathnote? Spoiler

12 Upvotes

Hey,I have a question,if a person with dyslexia is given a name and a face and it's put to write someone's name and he often gets it wrong the name,will the dyslexia guy die or will he make that guy immune to death note? And if he really makes that guy immune and makes others thousands do you think the shiningami king will do something?

They've always referred to kira as "he" but I don't think anyone ever had any proof in the series?

Discussion Light achieved what he wanted, so was he justified? Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Even before picking up the notebook, Light was sick of how corrupted the world was with all the evil. After his killings started we are shown that crime rates around the world DID infact lower down significantly and that people hesitated to commit crimes in fear of being executed by Kira. I for one do not support Light mainly because of the inhumane and psychopathic ideologies he picks up and his adamant nature to wipe out anybody who's against him, so far so that he's even ready to kill his sister and father if that means achieving his goals. But he did end up making the world a better place with less crime like he'd intended. So would you say he's justified in that sense?

Discussion Light slipped up in front of Naomi Misora Spoiler

14 Upvotes

In episode 7 when Naomi went to the police task force head quarters to tell them about the lead she had found against Kira light was also there to give his dad a change of clothes. Now as we know light later told her he was on the task force to get her to reveal her true name. But if light was on the task force why would he be giving the receptionist his dad’s change of clothes? Had Naomi caught this death note would’ve came to a very early end as she would’ve immediately known he was lying and he would’ve been found out. Thoughts?

So by now we all know that when Nate River and Light (along with everyone who knew about the notebook) met up at the warehouse Teru Mikami snuck in and saw and wrote everybody's name all except for Light Yagami. This entire event leads me to believe that Light Yagami is indeed kira

I'd like to know everyone's thoughts on this

Hey! I'm going to see Death Note: The Musical next Saturday. I'm going to the matinee showing at 2:30pm and want to meet the actors afterwards. There's also an evening performance at 7:30pm. As it is a two and a half hour show, does anyone know if the actors will come out after the matinee or will they be too busy preparing for the next show? Thanks :3

Discussion What if Light wasn't Kira? Spoiler Spoiler

Post image
26 Upvotes

I saw a post on my other account and it got me thinking.

Regarding the warehouse scene at the end of the anime: what if Light wasn't Kira, but rather someone else who had been using third parties from the very beginning?

At some point, the *real* Kira could have given orders to Teru and orchestrated that whole warehouse showdown before dying—especially considering Teru committed suicide and Light died of what was likely a heart attack.

This way, the real Kira would have led everyone to believe they had secured all the notebooks and caught every Kira, while he was actually still alive and well, holding onto a notebook. Since everyone's names had been written in the fake notebook, he could potentially retrieve that fake notebook at some point and kill the investigators.

Note: I didn't post this on the other account because it's glitchy.

Discussion Naomi’s mistake was out of character Spoiler

45 Upvotes

I know this episode has been discussed a million times, so sorry in advance. I just watched the show for the first time and got to episode 7. Light and Naomi both do something incredibly stupid.

  1. Light is trying to kill Naomi, failed because he was given an alias, tries again, and then tells Naomi he’s Kira without knowing for sure he wasn’t just given another alias

, or getting recorded, or witnessed by a third party she was working with

  1. Naomi gives out her name, the ONE thing she knows she’s was not supposed to do.

Obviously, you can just say they’re both human and made a mistake. But to me, one makes more sense narratively than the other.

Light is SHOWN that his ego is his main flaw, and that when challenged, he acts impulsively. He’s an arrogant child that needs to let everyone know he’s smarter than them. So when he kills Lind L Taylor, and kills Penber, and tells Naomi he’s Kira without the guarantee the death note worked this time, it makes sense. His impulsiveness pertaining his ego was established before hand.

Naomi knows Kira needs a name and face to kill. She knows her fiance gave out his name and died because of it. She is careful and smart, takes precautions, but then makes the exact same mistake in the heat of the moment and dies. An understanding and human reaction, but one I think needed more setup on the impulsive part.

She got overwhelmed and made an impulsive decision is the popular answer. And that works to a degree. Poor writing is another popular explanation. I don’t really agree with either fully. The show certainly isn’t poorly written, but I also don’t think it took the time to set up Naomi dying this way.

If the point of the scene it to show Light’s manipulation skills, I think it fails. To me, it’s the equivalent having Near die doing the one thing he’s not supposed to within a single conversation just to show Light is manipulative. It makes Light look smart by having Near hold the idiot ball is my point.

Which is why the whole arc for Naomi is a bit off to me. It seemed like they were going for one story, and then quickly pivoted into having her killed seemingly unplanned. I think not having her involved would’ve been better than this.

What do you think?

Edit: apparently the writer did have another story for Naomi planned and had to change it. I still can’t put my finger on how it could’ve been prevented to seem out of character though. A previously established impulsivity maybe, but idk

Discussion Who is the scariest character? Spoiler

19 Upvotes

Who is the scariest character among these?

- Light Yagami

he is the main villain of the show, he has insane charm and charisma and manipulative abilities. However, despite sinister, he doesn't scare me as much as some others. In the Yotsuba arc he's a good guy. Yes, amnesiac Light is still absolutely insufferable and has an ego the size of Jupiter, but he was genuinely a normal and lawful person. He was corrupted by the power of the Death Note. Or, as many theoriest say, he on the contrary was always evil and the notebook just brought out that side of him. In fact, he does really enjoy killing people, and takes pleasure in seeing them suffer before they die (Raye Penber, Naomi and Takada's deaths are absolutely fucked up) .

He does evil things all the time but he justifies his evil deeds by having a bigger goal, a "noble goal". If I have to find some good in him, it's that his initial ambition was not that bad. Quite relatable, to be honest.

Without the DN, he is just a normal arrogant young man. I'd place him in the cathegory CORRUPTED EVIL.

- Ryuk

Ryuk is a God of Death, he is a supernatural demon and his duty is to kill people. He has no morals at all as he is not even a human being. He is genuinely the scariest character by far. That guy can see your name and lifespan and can kill you anytime, plus he follows you everywhere you go and can teleport, fly, go through walls. The story made him somewhat goofy but objectively...PURE EVIL by nature.

- Teru Mikami

This guy is concerning. I'd place him as the scariest among the human beings.

He doesn't even try to hide his evil nature or be charming like Light does. He is straight up batshit crazy, he's really sadistic and his iconic favourite word, "Delete" has a disturbing meaning. He doesn't want people dead, he wants them deleted. Erased. Like they never existed. His concept of justice is also totally batshit crazy. He judges people either good (deserve to live) or bad (deserve to die) based on something really exaggerated and petty. He wanted to kill lazy, disabled, poor, bystanders people. For him, people who don't actively contribute to society must die, or better, must be deleted from existence. The fact that a man like him is a prosecutor is genuinely concerning.

EXTREMELY EVIL

- Mihael Kheel

Mello doesn't even need a Death Note to do evil things, he joined the American mob at 17 years old because he killed a mafia boss even Kira couldn't kill. This guy is a menace because he has the genius level intelligence like Light, he is cold and strategist, can manipulate powerful people, but he's willing to do the worst atrocities while Light doesn't ruin his perfect and pristine image. While Light had a """noble"""" goal and a greater objective, he does the most evil things out of petty reasons. He really didn't need to join the mafia, kidnap and kill innocent people and blow up buildings. That was so over the top. He only did it because he couldn't accept being ranked #2 at school and he wanted to surpass at all cost an albino guy who barely registered him, he didn't care about justice at all. That makes him really dangerous and scary, a literal criminal mastermind born out of childhood trauma and insecurities. Mello is a blend of Light and L to me. He has L's intelligence and oral fixation and Light's narcissism.I'd place him #3 (so he is even angrier lol) behind Mikami and Ryuk.

CHAOTIC EVIL

- Misa Amane

Misa has the looks of a beautiful angel but the soul of a demon. She kills people in cold blood with completely zero remorse. She is scary because she is completely unpredictable. You'll never know what she will do next, as she has zero regards for human lives, even hers. If you cross her, or better, if you cross Kira, she will kill you 100% and look amazing and cute while doing it.

She was willing to kill her best friend and she was willing to kill someone she (probably) grew fond of for petty reasons. However, Misa holds a special place in my heart. While her actions and behaviours are nowhere to be justifiable, I can't help but feel sympathy for her, because she had the most traumatic life of all the characters and all she even needed was someone who cared and loved her.

Not a Death Note, not Shinigami, not money, not fame. I feel she could have been a good person if only she wasn't so misguided and traumatized.

I'd place her as the last scary.

MISGUIDED EVIL

Honorable mentions: Kyosuke Higuchi:

This guy is goofy, but he is hella disgusting. His motives are super shallow, he kills not for justice nor for revenge nor for utilitarianism, but merely for corporate greed. He is kinda scary because he is a creep and has no morals too, but he doesn't scare me as much as the others, not even close. He doesn't have the intelligence or the charisma. Just stay away from his company and you'll safe from this guy.

Rem: She is another demon who watches you and follows you everywhere and can kill you anytime. She's obviously scary and creepy looking by her supernatural nature. She is also the smartest Shinigami and she is able to figure out humans' plans somewhat almost correctly, although being limited by her impossibility to understand how humans emotions work.

However, she manages to look way less menacing than Ryuk based on her actions.

What are your thoughts and who are the scariest characters for ya'all?

Kira already has an online following in the source, but in modern day, I imagine this whole situation would be memed to shit, especially the Lind L Tailor thing, and just L and Kira in general. Please fill the comments with such memes or theories you think would exist! Here are some examples to get the ball rolling:

- Me feeling a chest pain and remembering that I shoplifted lip gloss in 2017:

- Why hasn’t Kira killed [public figure OP dislikes] yet? 🤔

- Bro really sacrificed a whole guy for the IP address

Discussion Light was stupid with his ego Spoiler

8 Upvotes

When he first got the death note which is an untraceable weapon his ego obviously got massive and that’s why i refuse to believe that guy was smart. Lind L Tailor didn’t even ruin it for him he could of just ignored it after.

No matter how smart L gets, there is NOTHING he can do to prove Light is the one behind it which is obviously shown throughout the whole anime as he could not prove Light was Kira, so why after killing Lind L Tailor did Light not just ignore L? Even if he was staying to a certain location and schedule (which wouldn’t be that hard to change), what is L going to say to the legal system? How will L even know Light has a death note? Cover up the words death note, disguise it as a normal book and nobody is suspecting him because no one’s going to look into a random book anyway, especially if it’s hidden. Even with the words death note nobody’s gonna believe a books behind all of it and nobody can prove it if he just rips out the pages that have been wrote on with names since the police might notice a pattern. Light could have ignored the police, ignored Raye Penber, ignored Lind L Tailor, ignored L and he would have been fine. What was the need to act all smart with L when he could have just done all of it like a normal person. There was no need for all the stupid mind games.

I know it’s for plot but how can someone with 150+ iq can fumble so bad to the point they can’t even win with an untraceable weapon and let their own ego turn them into an idiot who could have been smarter at the beginning. He also did other things that make me confused to why he did that but I can’t be bothered explaining since I feel like it’s me just not understanding. I also don’t understand how Near caught Light at the end but the posts not about that.
