* TechnologyMarchesOn: Discussed. Minoru points out that Light's master schemes would've fallen apart faster in 2017-2019 with all the security cameras on every street, bus, and train, and the police getting better at tracking down cyber crimes.

Minoru points out that Light's master schemes would've fallen apart faster in 2017-2019 with all the security cameras on every street, bus, and train, and the police getting better at tracking down cyber crimes. Ironically, all of this is in direct response to the ways Light was able to accomplish his goals originally to potentially prevent it from happening again.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Because Minaru told Ryuk to never contact him again, he can't be informed of the new rule [[spoiler:which will kill him the moment he withdraws money from selling the Death Note]].

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Due to Ryuk invoking ExactWords on his final conversation with Minoru, the latter dies as a result of the [[ObviousRulePatch new rule added to the Death Note]].

* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:Upon Trump learning that he will die for accepting the sale of the Death Note, Ryuk gives him two options: die, but keep the Death Note in US custody, or live, but return it to Ryuk.

** Both Minoru and Light started using the Death Note in their teens, and both wanted to bring a prosperous future with their use of it. Whereas Light was an egotistic megalomaniac when it came down to his new world, Minoru's plan was smaller in scope and he remained fairly levelheaded through his plan. [[spoiler:And while both died due to an unforseen circumstance, Light's own lack of oversight led to a pathetic death, while Minoru's LaserGuidedAmnesia and a rule patch that only existed after he'd "won" led to a quick but sudden death.]]
