Well, you did it, you finished Death Note! The ending always gets to me, honestly.. I'm curious tho, he is usually said to be a psycopath with a God complex.. but say Light came to you to get treated (I bet you'd struggle getting through his sessions 😆 ) what are the diagnosis YOU'd give him here? 🤔 No matter what Light.. or should we say Kira has done, it always brings up some kind of emotions to see him so scared and desperate now 😅 It's like in his final moments he loses the "God persona" and we finally see him as a human again. The audacity to call out for Misa and Takada after the lenghts he's gone to use them.. In his moment of desperation, it's natural to think of someone who would run to him without hesitation. Tho for him it's probably less about love, and more about needing unconditional loyalty one last time. Even though Light never showed genuine romantic love toward Misa, she was one of the few people who offered him affection without conditions. Facing death, he might have instinctively reached for the closest thing to "comfort" he's ever known.. not because he suddenly loved her, but because fear pushes people toward familiar safety. In the end "God" calls for help like any ordenary person, seeing Light like this I just can't help but feeling a bit sad for him 🥲 And such a small but impactful scene as he runs past his younger self trying to flee. This scene can be seen as a way for Light to reflect on his entire life, from his initial idealistic goals to his fall into becoming a mass murderer. I like to believe that seeing his younger self might also symbolize him regretting the path he's taken 😓 And finally the stairs scene 😭 As this series always has symbolism, I think it's safe to say its bittersweet of him dying in the stairs while "seeing" L. Even in death he keeps thinking of L and I guess you could say L won even if he also died. And the stairs, goes to show he does not go to heaven or hell, rather he is stuck in a state of "nothingness". Stairs are often seen as a symbolic representation of the journey between good and evil, heaven and hell. Light's death in the middle of the stairs, in an old facility just strenghtens the idea that he is neither good or evil, and that his actions have led him to a place of oblivion. In the end, Light died in such a pity state with a sad look on his face, such a contrast from how we are used to see him. He really died as "just" a human in the end 😩 And last I can't help but to feel for here is Misa.. She couldn't go on without Light as he (Kira) was tied to her entire identity. She worshipped him not just as a romantic partner but also as her personal savior. Her history of risky and self-destructive behavior just shows she valued her bond with him more than her own life. Misa likely had abandonment trauma after her parents murder, and she filled that void with her obsessive love for Light. I can only guess that losing him would feel like reliving that trauma, but worse.. because she had built her whole world around him. Poor girl has barely felt safety and love in her life, she deserved so much better 😔 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is by far one of the more tragic series I've seen, but it's been interesting to also see a story through the villains view. I love how it's still a topic til this day if he was right or wrong, and where the line goes that his actions were justified. This series really got people talking. It's been a journey watching you go through this, I've really enjoyed it! Looking forward to see what's up next! Try not to cry too much about this when you go to bed tonight 😆🫶

my suggestion on the anime to fill death note: Naoki Urasawa's MONSTER. it is a Seinen rather than a Shounen. Shounen is targeted towards teenagers. which are like Dragon Ball Z, Attack on Titan, and Death Note. where as Seinen is targeted toward Adults. animes like Berserk, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Monster are for more mature audiences. now that being said, Monster fills that Cat and Mouse theme of Death Note and Breaking Bad, it has some SEVERE mental health topics such as indoctrination PTSD and multiple personality disorder. both its dub and sub version are amazing, but because it takes place in europe rather than japan, id suggest the dub. the voice actors all do it justice. not to mention, MONSTER is getting a Blu-ray 4k remaster soon. i cannot stress it enough. its a masterpiece. it even follows the manga almost 1:1

Oooh yeah I do support Monster!! It's another (and not talked about enough) truly great one!! ✨️✨️✨️

Gosh I love this ending so much. Light’s decent as he slowly loses his “God” persona and instead becomes this scared desperate man writhing on the ground and trying to run away. (Reminds me of Azula and her breakdown) The way he’s so out of it he’s yelling out for Misa and Takada (even though he literally killed her 😭). How he runs by his past self and how things could’ve been if he hadn’t found the notebook. And lastly, the way he sees L in his final moments

Hyperion

if not Monster, Squid Game. seriously. that one is so good too.

an interesting fact about the world of Death Note, Tsugumi Ohba, the creator of the manga and anime, has stated in "Death Note: How to Read" that neither heaven nor hell exist. just the earth realm and shinigami realm. when someone dies in Death Note they return to the state at which they were before being born, Mu, or Nothingness. there is no afterlife.

I also really like how it was Matsuda who shot Light. The entire series we see him get made fun of by everyone else but he was the one to pull trigger on Light. It’s also really sad to see how heartbroken and betrayed he felt when Light was revealed. We have to remember that Matusda seemed to have grown really close to the Yagami family, like when he referred to Lights parents as mom and dad, how he liked Sayu, and how he always defended Light and his innocence. In my mind I like to think that Matsuda steps up and takes care of Lights mom and sister since they don’t have anyone else anymore 😔💔.

Yeah they are often overlooked when talking about the DN ending. Tho we don't see them in these last episodes, I can only imagine their grief. The trauma Lights sister went through, knowing their dad/ husband died trying to catch Kira, only to find out their brother/ son was the reason for all their sorrows (given they were told, I dont remember if Kiras true identity was revealed in the manga ending).. if they found out Light was Kira, can't imagine the conflicting feelings and sorrow those two would go through after all that's happened to them cause of Kira

Loved the reactions to the series Tom!

Kiwi

One of my favorite lines from L: Change the WorLd (alternate story where L wins) is “Light wanted to live a god, but he didn’t die like one”

Reaction Therapy

That’s so true, I didn’t think of it that way…and he was a really sweet and innocent part of the show 😊🙏

Reaction Therapy

We need to start a chat about what’s next!!!😊😊😊👍👍👍

Reaction Therapy

So much to unpack here! I will probably have to do it in pieces…Light, Misa, Heaven/Hell/Nothing….how I would treat them…that’s an entire livestream or at least a video to make….stay tuned! I will say these are all amazing points😊👍

Hyperion

matsuda represents the general public. he was always the hardest one to convince that light is evil him shooting light represents society as a whole turning on Kira once they learn the whole truth. L and his successors knew Light was kira, but until the other detectives, including matsuda were convinced, then the SPK and L could not arrest Light. the crazy thing is that had light actually gone quietly he could have had his followers break him free. the outrage of real life trials like OJ simpson are indicative of how the public can rally behind someone despite the allegations. Kira going on trial would ABSOLUTELY start a revolution.

What an amazing anime man, truly one of the greatest shows out there!

light dying in the middle of the staircase represents him not going to neither heaven nor hell, i think there is an after credit somewhere that shows him meeting ryuk in the shinigami realm reincarnated.

Light didn't write Mikami's name, he was writing Near's (nate) name. After Light got shot, he was hoping someone would do something, and since Mikami and light think almost the same, he knew cutting himself would buy some time for God to escape.

Nabbed this from the Death Note Wiki: (Ohba also states in Death Note 13: How To Read that she likely committed suicide. The anime came first, but the 13th volume is canon.) The following information is from Death Note 13: How to Read. Tsugumi Ohba, writer of Death Note, decided to create Misa to be the second Kira before the serialization began. They felt that having the story solely consist of males would be "boring" and that they wanted "a cute female." Ohba, intending to introduce Misa with the Shinigami Eyes, described her as having to be "spontaneous and not too bright" and that they determined her personality "from the start." Since Light Yagami would never want to trade for the Shinigami Eyes, Ohba wanted another character to use to trade for the eyes, so they decided to use Misa. Ohba said that the conception of the name Misa "was kind of random but I think it was from "kuromisa" (Black Mass).

I can't believe you paused and ended right before the after-credit scene :(

Lights last name “Yagami” is “I’m a gay” in reverse, old death note joke thought it was funny 😂

Noo u missed the after-credit scene. At the start they said, a user of the notebook will not be able to go heaven or hell. U were about to see where Light went
