  I really really appreciate the director’s choice to exaggerate the potato chip scene in the anime because this is really how Light views himself and his genius

  For anyone wondering why L having kids was scrapped it was because Tsugumi Ohba couldn’t imagine L having sex.

  him dying halfway up the stairs could also mean dying without being able to finish his work. He won&apos;t be remembered for his greatness like he hoped, he died without being able to fulfill his dreams like the average person. Even though he saw himself as greater.

  A nail in the coffin against Shinigami Light theory is that the author stated that it wasn&apos;t him.

  A YouTuber did the math, following Ryuk’s explanation, to find out how long Light would’ve lived for if Ryuk didn’t kill him. The YouTuber stated the author confirmed everyone else’s numbers are random except Light’s, so the YouTuber did the math and found out Light would’ve lived till 50

  Misa&apos;s height and weight is terrifying. 152cm, 36kg. I&apos;m 149cm and when I was in high school, I was 36kg. I looked and felt awful. I had no energy, I looked a lot older than I do now almost 10 years later and my body looked so frail. I guess it fits with how models were in the 2000s but still, holy crap.

  i don&apos;t think that the L light sees is an actual ghost, but simply a hallucination of light&apos;s like the one he had in episode 26. almost as if light is subconsciously recognizing that L still beat him in the end. <br>as for matsuda&apos;s theory, i definitely believe near would write mikami&apos;s name to control his actions.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogprO2Exel0&amp;t=246">4:06</a> Actually... There is! Because of the fact that Japanese is a Phonetic Language, and L&apos;s real name was written in Katakana, which is used to transliterate foreign words to Japanese, we just need to look at the kana for his name and go from there.<br><br>「エル・ローライト」 which, when transliterated (Not translated. Big difference.) back to Latin script, becomes &quot;Eru Rōraito&quot;. Taking into account the phonetic differences between Japanese and English, as well as the official spelling for his name is &quot;L Lawliet&quot;, we can infer that the pronunciation for L&apos;s true name is something akin to &quot;Law-light&quot;.<br><br>As an aside, despite Light&apos;s given name being spelled 「月」 / &apos;Tsuki&apos; / &apos;Moon&apos;, it is transliterated (Again, different from spelled.) as 「ライト」, mirroring the latter portion of 「ローライト」.<br><br>- Yours truly, a Romanian linguistics student who studied Japanese for two years.

  I took the “humans who use the death note can neither go to heaven nor hell” and that “when they die they go MU (nothingness)” as part of the a whole. Human who use the death note go to MU. Not necessarily all humans go to the void, but humans who use the death note go into the nothings.<br><br>And I’ve always liked the idea of that human death note users become Shinigami after death.
