Oh come on, how has this not popped up yet? We see him once in the far past, and whatever Piedmon's attack did to him eventually killed him. He reincarnated as an old man, appeared in DigimonAdventure to help the kids out. Sometime between that and DigimonAdventure02, he reincarnated as his past form, and used some time travel shenanigans to appear all over the world. He also appeared elsewhere in the various serieses... as [[DigimonTamers Rika Nonaka's Grandmother]], [[DigimonSavers Homer Yushima]], and as [[DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersLeapingThroughTime The Clockmaster]]. Hell, in his last form, he brought back most of the older protagonists, so we KNOW there are some time travel shenanigans going on... there's a Time Lord somewhere, certainly.

He comes back many times. Sometimes even after being in places normal Digimon should not survive dieing in (see also: Gotsumon, Pumpkinmon, or anyone else not named Blackwargreymon who died in the real world.) His past form was Daemon from 02, and he ends up becoming [[DigimonFrontier Lucemon]], [[DigimonSavers Kurata]], and [[DigimonXrosWars Bagramon]] before his time spent as [[DigimonTamers Impmon (and later Beelzemon)]] causes him to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone? realise he screwed up]], causing him to go back in time and try to fix things. He then reincarnated as Wizardmon and Richard Samson. This ALSO explains how Wizardmon lived all those near death blows, and how he came back in 02, and, hell, how he was so resilliant in the first place. It also explains why he died - HE LET HIMSELF TO STOP A PARADOX FROM HAPPENING IN A FULL OUT BATTLE WITH HIMSELF.

Specifically,they're a bunch of renegade Time Lords having used up their regenerations.They've been experimenting with genetic engineering for this. The Death Note has both TARDIS and Chameleon Arch technology in it,allowing them to feed. Part of their reason for this is that,like the Weeping Angels,they feed on your potential lifespan-only they just straight up kill you. Ryuk is a clone of the Master

!! The Shinigami are cousins of the Weeping Angels.
They "gain" lifespan in a similar way as the Angels do (the Angels transport you to a different timeline and feed off the potential energy. The Shinigami kill people and gain more lifespan). Their powers are only limited to humans, so the Time Lords don't care (who cares about the cosmic equivalent of cavemen?)

Also, this will explain, why L wasn't really satisfied with his results. And why he still suspected Light, even if he couldn't be the murderer. And why he predicted every Light's move (remember those "fights", that they had?)

!! Mikami is a Cyberman.
It's so OBVIOUS! ''DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!''
!!L is The Master
In the episode where he [[spoiler: dies]] L mentions that he can hear bells. While everyone assumed that this was something to do with his human past due to the opening flashback with Big Ben, that isn't necessarily true, and if it is, may actually be part of the fabricated memories implanted when he chameleon arched. When The Doctor psychically connects with The Master in EOT, The Drums...don't really sound like drums. If they were quieter, they could easily be mistaken for bells, and they might well be slightly dulled by the chameleon arch. While this may lead some fans to think that, due to Chameleon Arch personality flips, this makes Light The Doctor, it is my opinion that Aiber is actually The Doctor. What's the one piece of character development we got about him? [[TechnicalPacifist He hates guns.]] It's entirely possible that, (Although not true every time due to 10 training his students in rifles and machine guns as John Smith) that the flip's severity varies, and that when they chameleon arched for whatever reason, The Doctor got a very mild one which put him on the wrong side of the law but left him a mostly peaceful man who despised killing, thus his willingness to work the Kira case, while The Master got a somewhat more severe flip which, while it still left him a somewhat cold manipulator, brought him much closer to good.

Sakura did intentionally invent a method to create immortality when he was a Time Lord. Due to the consequences this had, the other Time Lords chameleon-arched him into being a 12 year old Japanese boy and hid the arch. [[XanatosRoulette Sakura planned around this to ensure that he does invent immortality]], and so the Time Lords had to send other Time Lords disguised as angels to try to prevent this. Sakura, being the MagnificentBastard he is, has come up with billions of ways to invent immortality. The only recourse for the other Time Lords is to disrupt his life as often and as violently as possible.

Admittedly the twin sister, [[spoiler: cross-dressing]] and DissonantSerenity don't quite fit, and his appearance doesn't change. Plus he spends long enough in hospital a second heart would be an issue (unless it was fobwatched away). That he appears to have been born on Earth is also a bit of a problem, but since the circumstances surrounding the birth are kind of murky [[spoiler: and involve a giant conspiracy he proceeds to play for a bunch of {{XanatosSucker}}s]] this can probably be handwaved. Anyhow, considering some of the shapes the Master's taken over the years, human child shouldn't be that hard, and [[EnfantTerrible Johann]] [[WiseBeyondTheirYears isn't]] a very [[CreepyChild convincing]] [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour child]], at that.

Failing all those, the son theory should work around the difficulties. Let the mother be human, even [[spoiler: the Master would only have to pass himself off as human long enough to romance her and then mysteriously, tragically disappear]]. The twins can then both be his kids, possibly DNA-masked to appear more human than they really are – Anna anyway has that slightly odd, mildly {{Cloudcuckoolander}}ish kind of BewareTheNiceOnes [[IdentityAmnesia amnesiac]] air to her that John Smith and [[spoiler: Professor Yana]] have. The fact that neither twin has a visible fob watch about them is obviously just a cover-up. And a TARDIS would come in handy for explaining how Johann's XanatosRoulette luck almost never fails, as well as his language skills. [[spoiler: also, Johann is an Ersatz of sorts for ''MW''s Michio Yuki, who's as close to the personality of Simm!Master in characterization as makes virtually no difference]]

Since The Doctor's regenerations had a tendency to become younger as time passes by, The Doctor is now a highschool age boy. Susan Foreman, who for the second time became a companion and avoided the Last Time War by not being in Gallifrey, finally convinced him to fix the Chameleon Circuit.

Somewhere in 20th-21st century Japan, The Doctor and his Companions got separated from the TARDIS. The TARDIS herself lost her memories, but The Doctor cannot let her know what is actually happening to prevent a time paradox. And so, he disguised himself, the TARDIS, and his companions as highschool students.
