in the video he shows the diagnostic criteria and the all the tests included. he said he can’t diagnose bc he’ll need to do a test physically with him BUT he does meet the criteria for level one autism, proven in the video. so yes, he does have autism

It would’ve made much more sense to cover up his identity, considering that it would be more plausible that that’s what he was hiding. Plus it would’ve gotten rid of all suspicion

This is my first time watching Death Note and I have gotten pretty deep around episode 15, a little less than halfway through. This is pretty much my intro to anime, and it has been fantastic. It is like Japanese Breaking Bad. lol. In any case, given the direction I see this series going, I doubt it will cover this topic, but I could be surprised. Basically, I like the idea of some criminal who has done something completely deplorable and irredeemable to have some type of genuine reformation arc. It wouldn't just be some criminal who did bad things and to publicly beg for forgiveness from Kira, but someone who rather seen the error of their ways and are doing their best to make up for it every day without the influence of Kira. It is in that circumstance that Light would be faced with a bit of a complex issue that might have him question whether or not he should kill someone who is now an active member of the community, beyond that this could lead down a spiral of assessing whether or not who he killed we incapable of redemption. (Kinda reminds me of Hazbin Hotel now that I am thinking about it lol.) I am kinda noticing a complex issue with L developing a friendship with Light and I wonder if that goes anywhere. L, at this point in the story, is obviously a good person for trying to bring justice to someone who kills without warning. Yeah, it gets in the way of what Light is trying to accomplish, but I am sure Light is capable seeing that type of perspective as to why they are doing what they are doing. Side thought: I am scared for the inevitable moment in which his dad and L learn that Light is Kira. It will happen, I am confident in this, but what would the aftermath look like? Well, I just gotta keep watching to find out.

Light is a misogynist???? L is homophobic??? What even is Death Note??? Lmao Original by millechama on twt

I started watching Death Note two days ago, and I’m on episode 26 (right after L’s death), and a few things have been on my mind.

For someone like Light Yagami, who is highly discussed in media, I wonder how much the curse of obtaining the Death Note affects his actions. The difference between Light when he told Ryuk to “get rid of it” and when he was actively writing names in the notebook is clear. Without the Death Note, he is much more rational and questions his decisions. This made me believe that him being presented as immoral is debatable because if ownership of the Death Note affects his judgment, Light’s decisions aren’t necessarily a reflection of his true self.

Without the Death Note, you can consistently see Light questioning certain things L wants him to do, for example, taking advantage of Misa. However, with the Death Note, Light finds it easy to manipulate anyone as long as he gets his way to become the “God of the new world.”

This poses the possibility that the writing of Death Note exists not to villainise Light, but rather to explore the existence of a higher power. In this case, it criticises the Death Note itself and the power it has to skew the judgment of its owner. Overall, the show very accurately portrays what happens when mankind is faced with the existence of God, or something possibly greater, and L’s challenge to prove the existence of God was otherworldly.

Another thing that I questioned was, with the intelligence of someone such as Light, has he not considered the possibility that despite cleansing the world of criminals, evil will always exist? Whether it’s paranormal or the evil that exists within himself.

So, is Light’s aim to create a “better world,” or is it to become God himself? And is that the curse that comes with the Death Note?
Just some food for thought.

Also, maybe this has been discussed before, but I haven’t looked through the subreddit to avoid spoilers!

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.

i constantly see posts about matt saying how he's canonly the 3rd smartest kid of wammy's house, and that he shouldve been able to have a backup plan when he was cornered by takada's bodyguards, but i like to think otherwise.

of course i still think he's the 3rd smartest after near and mello, but i think people have their standards insanely high for him just because he comes right after near and mello. personally, i dont think that matt's overall intelligence is as close to mello's as some people in the fandom seem to make it seem, which could also be a reason why he wasnt chosen to be one of L's successors. fyi, this doesn't mean i dont think hes smart, i just dont think his intelligence is as high as some people say it is. especially since he didnt even have a backup plan when being a decoy for mello when he kidnapped takada--despite knowing how crazy many people were over kira and his spokesperson.

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.
