History YMMV / DeathNoteTheAbridgedSeriesKpts4tv

* RonTheDeathEater: Souichiro Yagami is a [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero homophobic]] AbusiveParent, [[AxeCrazy psychotic]] GunNut, and PyroManiac... [[FridgeBrilliance ah, THAT'S where]] [[ItRunsInTheFamily Light gets his crazy genes!]][[note]]To top it all off, Souichiro is stated to be a former Death Eater in the series, making him a literal example of this trope.[[/note]]
** Also Aizawa within the space of an episode-he wants to violate Misa (though to be fair so do the rest of the taskforce), he got his own daughter pregnant, and it's revealed he pushed Sachiko down the stairs while she was pregnant with Light. Though in Aizawa's case [[spoiler: it's because he's being possessed by Souichiro's ghost.]]
** Also Near [[spoiler: is a Shinigami and leader of the invading force that's conquering the Earth and has set Light up to take the fall.]]

* BetterThanCanon: While some of the revelations are stupid-hilarious, like [[spoiler: Raye being Gevanni or Soichiro actually being a Shinigami, making Light a HalfHumanHybrid or even that the entrance to the Shinigami World was Matsuda's sphincter]], others do end up making for a more entertaining finale, [[spoiler: with Near being a Shinigami himself and planning to take over the world, making Near a much more interesting character to some people]].

* MissingEpisode: You can thank Website/YouTube for deleting episode 1.

'''Near:''' TooSoon, Matsuda.

* BadassDecay: Near does his [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]] stare with [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning the room spinning effect]]... and gets really dizzy and throws up. Also:

-->'''Near:''' TooSoon, Matsuda.

* GrowingTheBeard: The first two to three episodes are [[OldShame admittedly pretty bad.]] The series starts to gain its footing after that, but doesn't really fully mature until Season 2. The quality gradually increases, right up until the [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome finale.]]
