** The reality is that a Shinigami has to ''intentionally'' extend the life of a human. How to Read explains "The use of the Death Note in the human world sometimes affects other humans' lives or shortens their original life spans, even if their names are not actually written in the notebook itself." This does not contradic the rule against collateral damage. Therefore, we can also infer that a Shinigami is not punished for incidentally saving the life of a human if the saving of a human life was inadvertent. Had Ryuk rescued Light from his predicament by killing the SPK and the Task Force, even if his motive was to extend the game, then Ryuk would have died.

* One subtle indication of Light and L's opposition: Light uses a PC whereas L uses an Platform/AppleMacintosh.
* Minus Takada if you count her as the fifth Kira, the Kiras die in alphabetical order. Higuchi is killed by Light, Light is killed by Ryuk, Mikami dies by Near's actions (I follow the Near manipulated Mikami with the DN theory) and a year after Light's and Mikami's deaths, Misa commits suicide. H,..L, Mik, Mis... It's the same with L and his successors: L, then Mello, and eventually Near. So it's L, M, N.

*At first, Ryuk loving apples just seems like a RunningGag revolving around him, but it actually makes total sense. When Misa [[spoiler:reunites with Ryuk after regaining her memories and]] brings him an apple, Ryuk gives her one from the Shinigami realm, which Misa notes that it tastes like sand. Ryuk doesn't just like Earth apples because it's treated as a GRatedDrug, but the apples in the Shinigami Realm are definitely not as good as on Earth

* Light's DitzyGenius qualities and tendency to grab the VillainBall at times, may seem like FridgeLogic at first. However, when one realizes that Light's mission is little more than an ego trip and a means of seizing power, his VillainBall moments start to make a lot more sense.
** For instance, when Light internally called L's bluff on the thousands of FBI agents being dispatched only to immediately give L exactly what he was looking for by outwardly calling the bluff, Light was subconsciously doing it to mock L, since he can't seem to help himself whenever it comes to mocking his enemies. Or earlier, when he wrote Lind L Tailor's name in the death note for calling him evil. Light's ego has always taken priority in his mission to eliminate all criminals. That's what his whole [[AGodAmI God of the New World]] goal is ultimately about.

** Speaking of names-Light's name would have afforded him some protection [[EvilVersusEvil if he ever went up against another Kira without the Shinigami eyes.]] If the other Death Note user only heard Light's name spoken aloud they wouldn't have guessed how to spell it (with "Light" written with the character for "moon") and would have tried various combinations of "Light" or "Raito" or the character for "light" (Hikari? Hikaru?) until all four tries were used up.

* The Death Note allows you to kill someone in a way that under almost any circumstances would be perceived as natural causes, and the notes have probably existed for a ''long'' time. It makes you wonder how many historical figures that died suddenly actually did so, [[FictionalizedDeathAccount or were actually murdered by a Death Note user]]. And conversely, how many historical figures had a Death Note at their disposal...at least they wouldn't have the information to reach anywhere near Kira's kill count.

* Consider the tonal dissonance between the first opening song ("[[https://youtu.be/D7MMMNTQ7H0 the WORLD]]" by Nightmare) and the second ("[[https://youtu.be/pN2UmX3Kmrs What's Up People]]" by Maximum the Hormone). The fact that the first one is a wistful, tragic-sounding yet defiant song desiring to change the world while the second one is a cacophony of cynical (if not despairing) criticisms of humanity in general may as well be illustrative of how the story follows the fall of a young man from WellIntentionedExtremist to AGodAmI.
