Finally Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty of Solzhenitsyn definitely applies. Kiyomi Takada – Burned to death by setting fire to everything around her, as written by Light on a piece of his Death Note. (Note: Mikami also wrote this in the Death Note, but it's implied Light was the first to write it.) Yamamoto ( 山本, Yamamoto) is the newest member of the NPA who only appears in the final chapter. [33] He works as Matsuda's junior, and was seen troubled by Matsuda bothering him with going to a bar. In the special one-shot chapter set three years later, he can be seen in the same room with the rest of the team, albeit not belonging to them, as noted by Matsuda. [34] Criminals and initial victims [ edit ] Kurou Otoharada [ edit ] After the police arrived, Kujo and her surviving associates were arrested. Presumably, Kujo was sentenced to imprisonment or at most, sentenced to death for her crimes. Mello ( メロ, Mero), real name is Mihael Keehl, grows up in competition with Near to succeed L. After L's death, however, he concedes the position to Near and leaves to hunt Kira through criminal means, eventually joining the American Mafia. His obsession with surpassing Near serves as the primary motivation for many of his actions. He has blond hair, dresses extravagantly, and is rarely seen without a bar of chocolate.

Armonia Justin Beyondormason [ edit ] Voiced by: Hideyuki Umezu(Japanese); Michael Dobson (English) Death Note, a twelve-volume series written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, is one of the most complex, well-thought-out, and utterly mindbending stories I have ever read. Truly, Ohba must be of some genius-level intellect to have crafted this tale. The way he displays the thought processes of Light and L, the world-class detective charged with Light's capture, is utterly astounding. The method by which each one of them develops their plans, anticipates the other's plan, and formulates a counterplan... it's mind boggling. And it also makes for a great, great read. What can I say about Death Note, the story of Light Yagami and his quest to change the world "for the better" through the use of the Death Note, a powerful, mystical object that allows him to kill anyone by writing down their name? I can start by saying that it absolutely floored me like no other story has done in a long while. In the Matsuda spinoff short film, Sanami tries to help Touta Matsuda and passes him a note from Soichiro Yagami. The note tells Matsuda to visit Ryuzaki to help Matsuda find closure with the case.The twists in this book keep this so engaging and hard to put down. And with every twist comes a new development in the characters story and how you feel about them. I ended up rooting for Light / Kira, I wanted him to succeed. Kira as a character is so interesting and complex, and it’s just so clever and makes you feel so many different ways towards the character.
Following Light we give L ways to little credit cause what he does in response to all the curveballs is flawless, and he is determined: To defeat evil, there must be sacrifices, that’s what you’ve done, right? Let’s be honest, every one of us has at least considered the line of thinking above at least once or multiple times; I still do sometimes. That’s part of being human, especially when everything you hear or see around the world is filled with injustice. The main character, Light/Kira Yagami, is a genius that accidentally obtains a Death Note, and he wants to use it for one single purpose: to make the world a better place by killing all scums, rapist, criminals that exist in the world; untouched or touched by laws, there’s no exception. This makes him an ultimate vigilante that practically untraceable by anybody because of its killing method, almost as if he’s truly a god. The plot, of course, became more complicated and engaging once his main rival, L, came into play. Not only Kira and L are both one of the finest characters I’ve ever read in manga, but their rivalry also to this day stands as one of the most highly praised rivalry in the world of manga/anime for many great reasons. To state a few, their characterizations and their deadly game of cat and mouse were so well portrayed that you can’t help but root for both of them. An incredible bargain at a fraction of the shelf space: less than half the price of all 12 individual volumes. Shakespearean. Death Note the anime stands out as perhaps the single best anime adaptation of manga, which itself is perhaps the best manga of all time.Death Note Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases (Novel)".

Unknown Person - Implied to have jumped to their death after Misa wrote their name in her death note off-screen because of Light's plan, body shown. Kira Yagami is also one of the reasons why I have very high standards towards characterizations in grimdark. Up until now, I still haven’t come across many authors—whether it’s manga or novels—who can write a grimdark character as well-written as Kira.My other complaint is that it felt like the story repeated itself after the halfway point. Except with a different outcome. Because of that, I found the second half of this manga to be a bit boring and predictable. The manga goes into greater depth than the anime, expanding on the main storyline and drawing out more details. Also, the audience has more of a window into the thoughts and concerns of the detectives. World class detective "L," for example, expresses more doubt in his own theories, and so seems less superhuman. It’s a highly influential and immersive series. In fact, Death Note has sparked plenty of real-life copycat crimes and attempted malicious behavior around the world, mostly among students. One minor case for example: In May 2010, a middle school student in Avonworth School District in Pennsylvania was suspended for a "Death Note" with names of fellow students and pop singer Justin Bieber. This is, of course, just one case out of many; you can search up Death Note copycat crimes, and you’ll find so many cases. This is obviously not a good thing, but looking at the bright side, this also shows just how great this series is. It ended up influencing a lot of people around the world. Whether the influence is for good or worse depends entirely on the individual. Ohba, Tsugumi; Obata, Takeshi (2008). Death Note 13: How to Read. Viz Media. p. 13. ISBN 978-1-4215-1888-6. Also it makes very clear that showing a connection to the taskforce was a major mistake and Light could have mobilized public opinion much more.
The shift to chapter 38 is brilliant, and also raises questions on the morality and limits of powers of L Director Kanichi Takimura – Committed suicide by hanging himself with his tie off-screen, as written by Light in the Death Note, body shown. Death Note is a fantastic 5/5 series, but I want to make some details about this specific edition clear to potential buyers. Naomi Misora [ edit ] Naomi Misora as portrayed in the anime. Voiced by: Naoko Matsui(Japanese); Tabitha St. Germain (English) Light is brilliant, and one needs to admire how he manages to get himself out of troubles, like in chapter 14. What a brilliant resolution but also what a collateral damage.there is no doubt about the impact this manga has had in the last two decades. From various adaptations to derivative works that it spawned, till this day it stands as one of the unique offerings in this genre that very cleverly adapts a myth, crime and morality through out its run. There's a five year time skip between the episodes "Renewal" and "Abduction" and while it is mentioned that Light started killing more people after L's death, it's not specified how many and there's no good way to give a conservative estimate. As this is my first-ever manga, I can't draw upon experience in this genre to provide a meaningful benchmark. However, manga or novel, one reads for the storytelling and its characters. In both aspects, Death Note excels beyond any shadow of a doubt. Kira, the protagonist in Death Note has to be one of the most complex grimdark characters I've encountered and I find myself being torn between cheering him on towards his ultimate goal and being disgusted with his methods to achieve it.
