Raye Penber and Naomi Misora go to different places after their death - FALSE! Closely related to the above, since heaven and hell don’t exist Naomi and Raye both go to nothingness as well. The rules that are in place for manga and anime themselves make the idea of Light becoming a shinigami impossible and the origin of shinigami is officially unknown.ģ. No, it’s not intended to carry over to main canon and thus confirms nothing outside of this particular adaptation.
Yes, Light may well be a shinigami in this particular OVA. They directly conflict with canonical events and rules and thus cannot be counted into the main continuity. However, any statement that refers to the OVA as ‘deleted scenes’ or ‘director’s cut’ is flat-out wrong - the OVAs are officially alternate retellings of the story. This particular piece heavily implies that Light becomes a shinigami and even shows the shinigami who, with high likelihood, is Light’s new form. * I put the asterisks here because there is one particular incarnation this does not apply to: the first OVA canon “Relight: Visions of a God”. Death is final and the only time you can achieve anything is while you are alive - that’s DN’s stance on mortality, as confirmed by the author in the special interviews of Volume 13. More simply put: there is no afterlife of any kind.Īnd, as the rule states by saying ‘without exception’, this applies to everybody no matter whether or not they are good or bad, used a note or didn’t use a note. The phrasing ‘place’ is misleading because Mu is a known concept that is a negation of any state of being. After they die the place they go to is MU (nothingness).” “All humans, without exception, will eventually die. The manga dedicates a scene to uncovering this hoax for the reader while the anime only implies it by showing the according slides of rules in episode 37: They can’t, because heaven and hell aren’t real. Ryuk is lying by omission to fuck with Light for his own entertainment - when he says Death Note users can not go to heaven or hell, he’s right. The matter of fact is that inside the Death Note universe there is neither heaven nor hell. The statement that humans who used the Death Note can neither go to heaven or hell has been widely taken to mean that heaven and hell exist alongside a third place - potentially being the shinigami realm. Light becomes a shinigami - FALSE*! This is one that I expect is more prominent with people who have only watched the anime. There’s been a lot of questions in the fandom as to ‘why doesn’t xy make use of xy rule?’ and the answer is pretty much always ‘they didn’t know that rule existed’.Ģ. So even if you as a reader are aware of rules existing, this may not apply to the characters in the series. They are written on the backside of the cover instead of actual notebook pages. The only rules written inside Light’s Death Note are the first page. As you may remember, Ryuk doesn’t even know all the rules - and he wrote those in Light’s note.
This is not the case for Light’s Death Note. The notes you can buy irl all contain each and every rule.

The Death Note contains a full ruleset - FALSE! This one is entirely the fault of official merchandise. So from fundamental DN rules to color schemes to presumed pop culture influences…. If I somehow wrote something factually inaccurate myself, please point it out to me so I can edit the post as soon as possible! If you’ve been around the fandom for a while, there will probably be no news for you, but who knows. Since misinformation is my mortal enemy, I’m going to dedicate a post to going through the ones I encounter most frequently. There have been a lot of myths and rumours in this fandom that are founded on misconceptions or lack of accessible information.
