#Ob er series#
There’s already a Japanese series of live-action film adaptations, popular in its home market, which ages Light up a few years, places him in law school, and characterizes him as a reactionary tyrant. Light is an altogether different character in the new Death Note movie, directed by Adam Wingard for Netflix. He’s shameless, and he only occasionally pretends to use the Death Note for anything more than sport. Too bad for the thousands of personal rivals and criminal suspects whom he will go on to victimize, Light delights in testing the Death Note’s limitations. In the original manga series, which ran from 2003 through 2006, as well as its popular anime adaptation, which aired on Japanese television from 2006 through 2007, the Death Note falls into the hands of a vengeful high school outcast named Light Yagami. If you list a cause or manner of death, the subject will die accordingly. If you specify a time, the subject will die at the given time. If you, the owner of the Death Note, write someone’s full, legal name in the book and you’ve seen their face before, they will die.

When it falls from the sky, it’s mostly blank, save for the first few pages, a user’s manual that lists the Death Note’s rules and morbid effects. The Mary Sue has a strict comment policy that forbids, but is not limited to, personal insults toward anyone, hate speech, and trolling.As far as supernatural artifacts go, the Death Note is somewhat comically complicated to use, but it’s easy enough to explain.

The manga shows Light begging Ryuk not to kill him, where the anime gives him a more sympathetic end.
There is always a question with Light if he would have turned out differently if he’d not found the Death Note. It is pointed out that during the “Reign of Kira” we saw the end of wars and the crime rate drop by 70%.īut he thought that he was chosen to fix the world and didn’t realize all the lies he ruined in the process. Sexist, sadistic, manipulative, and so drunk on his own ego that he thinks his actions are good. Ryuk, who always knew he would write Light’s name in his own Death Note, kills Light with his trademark grin showing. He ends up getting shot by one of his long-time defenders and runs to a warehouse. Light was caught in 4k but ended up crying and monologuing trying to prove that he was “right” to kill countless people. Only to realize that Near has outsmarted him.Īhh, it was sweet. He actually ends up confessing to being Kira, thinking that everyone who hears the confession will die, from one of his minions writing in the Death Note. Near manages to outmaneuver Light with like two copies of the Death Note and by luring Light into a false sense of security. Light’s end is what the series was worth sticking around for. In a speedy eleven episodes, Near and Mello, L’s protégées, do what their mentor could not and lead to the capture of Light Yagami. In the place of L we get “Mello” and “Near.” Never have two characters have such big shoes to fill. With the internet, he is able to have even greater reach to the point where even the President of the United States is like “we have no beef with you.” Light has taken on the “L” moniker and still kills as Kira. Light just managed to be one step ahead.Īfter L dies we move five years into the future. Plus, he always really knew deep down that Light was Kira. He was beloved and his “relationship” with Light was compelling. L dying is one of the most divisive aspects of the series.
Eventually, Light gets the Death Note back and uses all of this bait and switch to eventually kill L. Ryuk gives the Death Note to Kyosuke Higuchi, a corrupt businessman who uses the Death Note to continue the work of Kira. Once I learned to time the opening for bathroom and snack breaks, I found that strength to push through the Yotsuba arc. Twice I stopped here and never picked the series back up. Is the Death Note why he is evil, or did it just awaken what was in him all along? Especially because it brings up an issue with Light himself. In both the manga and anime, I find the whole “Light loses his memories” aspect frustrating to watch. This is always the point where I start to mentally tap out.
