Oh my god the question at the center of death note isn’t “how do we make the world a better place” it’s “if a cop’s son had the power of a god, would that be fucked up or what”
#death note doesn't have a point other than 'watch how quickly this one guy decides to be the worst person ever'#and that is because we are all actually looking at it from the perspective of ryuk#we are his shinigami buddies and he's telling us about this totally bonkers time he had on earth#ryuk: yeah i gave this guy a death note and he immediately became a megalomaniacal serial killer#ryuk: i didn't even have to suggest it like that was his FIRST thought it was great (via @andsotheuniverseended)
