(Yagami Raito, alias “Kira” in Death Note)

I was watching Death Note episode 31 today, and thought, what would really happen if Kira exists in our world. Yep, most likely, like what happened in the Death Note series, crimes would be greatly reduced, I guess not much of questions about that. Though, if it were to happen for real, I doubt there would really be anyone like L to outwit Kira. How about Near and Mellow? Oh, I guess it wouldn’t be that hard to find a few bunch who would be as annoying as these two, God!

I had actually been following Death Note since the first episode of its anime series been aired in Japan (I didn’t read the manga before the anime been aired though). But I stopped right after L died and Near/Mellow were introduced. No, no, it wasn’t because I was a fan of L, not at all. I detest L actually, to be honest. I’ll leave it at that. Going there would make a different topic. But I stopped watching because I really couldn’t stand Near and Mellow!

Though there was L’s childish trait that these two inherited from L (that is, an obsession of “winning the game”), but the “intelligence” trait of L seemed to have not been passed along to these two. To me these two (especially Mellow, plus his girlish hair and stupid love for chocolates–as far as I know, only girls are crazy about chocolates!) were just filling up the gaps. They’re not even supposed to be there in the series.

Forget, about Near and Mellow.

If Kira really exists in our world, which side do you think you would take? Kira, pursuing his self-defined “justice”, or L and his team, opposing Kira’s search of “justice”, and actually bringing the world to its own cruel nature. Which side are you on?

It’s between Kira, or L.

The BASIC RULES of Death Note

Basic rules

* Human whose name is written on death note shall die.
* Unless the writer has the face of the person whom the name is to be written on the death note in their mind, there will be no effect.
* In relation, the human of the same name, or with alias name will not be affected.
* After the name is written, the cause of death must be written within 40 seconds.
* If the cause of death is not written, the cause of death will all be “heart attack”.
* Once the cause of death is started to be written, it all should be written within the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
* When the same name is written on more than one death note, the note which was first filled in will take precedence, regardless of the time of death.
* The effect of death note is the same even with the page or fragment cut off from death note.
* Regardless of death note ownership, anyone who touches a death note will then be able to see and talk to the Death God (Shinigami) who previously owned the death note.
* A person who does not have an ownership of the death note can obtain the equal effect to the owner if he writes a name on the death note, or fragment of the death note.
* It is not possible to cancel the death of the person whom the name has been written on death note, even with whatever method there is.
* A person cannot be killed if his face is only known by a drawn/painted picture. But by a clear photograph, he can.
* Pages of a death note will never run out.
* Any language can be used on death note, as long as you can recognize the substance which is written on it as letters (that can form names and words).
* Human who used death note cannot go to heaven or hell when they die.

Desu Noto, DEATH NOTE : Who, what.

Yagami Raito is a brilliant, but bored, high school student who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the “Death Note”, lying on the ground. The Death Note’s instructions claim that if a human’s name is written within it that person shall die. Raito is initially skeptical of the Death Note’s authenticity, believing it is just a prank. However, after experimenting with it and killing two criminals, Raito is forced to admit that the Death Note is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a Shinigami (Death God) named Ryuku, Raito seeks to become “the God of the new world” by passing his judgment on criminals, and to seek… “justice”.
