Happy Anniversary Kings!
Mad scientists will be like "I know a place" and then strap you onto the autopsy table
only an autopsy if you're dead... please use the proper name for my vivisection table
fifth grader's report card with straight As and at the bottom the teacher wrote "extremely violent and dangerous young man"
...gonna get hate for this but I gotta put it out there
I have said before that in my non-professional opinion, that there are no true psychopaths in Death Note, least of all L or Light. I mostly hold true to that idea.
However.
However.
When it comes to the individual who looked at a damaged and likely autistic orphan and decided:
"You are capable of handing extremely disturbing and graphic murder cases, because you were able to solve a large fraud case that police could not."
"You do not need to develop any sort of emotional intelligence as long as you can function in the role I assigned you. In fact, it would probably be a hindrance."
"Whenever you decide, I will commit illegal and even deeply harmful on someone in order to achieve a confession that supports your claims. The consequences this has for the prisoner are irrelevant."
"The orphanages I run will now be pools for material to create your duplicate."
Again, I'm no psychiatrist. I can't make any diagnosis. But when it comes to Quillsh Wammy, he's skating the line hard enough that I would call someone who can.
Ohhhh lord some people gonna kill me for not calling him Grampa Santa
Like father, like son.
wake up gang a new ship bingo dropped, anyway send me a pairing and I’ll answer!
Light is too iconic to be cishet
Could a straight person do this?
Light kindly gave us a peek at L’s underwear and you thank him by calling him as cishet?
baby light yagami would choose the wire mother over the cloth mother
Everyone whose said that Ryuk was the ‘real’ villain of Death Note bc he dropped the notebook and that Light was a victim of circumstance owes me $250 for the worst take imaginable.
Don't you think that it's really unrealistic how death note had absolutely no female criminals except for wedy?
Well, there's a few ways to look at it!
Death Note doesn't really put a lot of emphasis on criminals. Sure, Light kills a ton of them, and we have a few scenes showing their deaths, but in terms of who they are outside of their crimes, Wedy and Aiber are the only two that count as actual characters. Another thing to consider is how they're presented. Misa is technically a criminal. She's a mass murderer along with Light. The difference between her and Wedy is that Wedy is identified as a criminal by Light from her very first appearance, while Misa isn't. And, given Light is our protagonist and our main lens of the story, if he doesn't see them as a criminal, they aren't a criminal in the grand scope of the storyline.
That being said...kind of?
I wasn't able to find a lot of information on crime rates determined by gender for Japan in 2003 or 2006, but from what I did find for other countries it's pretty much a broad conclusion that men are more likely to commit crimes than women. This is probably enhanced in Japan, but alas, I am but a westerner with a poor grip on Japan's legal system.
Taking a real life stance on it and taking into context that Death Note doesn't feature many criminals, I guess it's pretty realistic?
Taking a fictional stance on it however? Yes, it is. Especially with the drastic male-to-female character ratio that comes in Death Note's fun misogynistic package, along with far too many "women in refrigerators" and the overall mistreatment of them over the course of the series.
So Wedy gets to be the honorary strong female character and criminal! ...Who shows up even less than Aiber and is only there for plot relevance and then immediately dies after she's no longer useful. I guess, "strong" as in... "not manipulated directly by Light for his own personal gain".
Overall, Wedy being the only female character considered a criminal by our star of the show (Light) is realistic by the standards of real life, but unrealistic from a story perspective, even if the story doesn't really focus on criminals. She's a victim to Death Note's vicious sexism, just like the majority of everyone else. Doesn't stop her from being unbelievably cool though.
This is such an interesting topic so I mulled over it for a little while, sorry the response is a bit long or if anything is worded weirdly ^^ Thank you for the ask, anon! <3
i've noticed that, in the meager amount of content about higuchi that exists, he's generally just kind of portrayed as an arrogant asshole who genuinely thinks he's better than everyone else. and while to some extent i think this is an easy view to have, and it's not 100% incorrect, the fact that he's really just a deeply insecure person is an important part of his character. he puts on a front to mask it; he's constantly an asshole to the people around him because it makes him feel like he's better than them, but that's really just how he comforts himself. it's not what he really believes.
in reality, higuchi is very, very aware of his own shortcomings. that's why he invited seven other people to the meetings, after all! some people (like takahashi) are mainly there to make him look better, but characters like namikawa, mido - the reason they're stuck there is because higuchi knows they're smarter than him and that their input is valuable. of course, he's also not happy that he's admitting that, even indirectly, which is part of why he's so hostile towards namikawa... but that's a whole other can of worms.
I once again have. No Idea how to use Tumblr but send me asks maybe? Idk I’m just dying to talk about dn 💀

[This is based on information from the anime, as I have yet to read the manga for myself. Caps from or references to the manga may be included to emphasize points or provide visuals, but the version of the plot I'm referring to is taken from the anime.]
Light Yagami does not pick up the Death Note knowing he’s going to use it to commit mass murder and become the God of his New World.
