* AngstWhatAngst:
-->'''Light:''' L, why?! ''[[VillainousBreakdown Why did you leave me?! Why did you leave me alone with these IDIOTS!]]'' *sobbing* And... yeah, I'm over it now.
** And:
-->'''Matsuda:''' My life's work has just gone up in flames! Just like [[spoiler: Light's ex-girlfriend.]] \\
'''Near:''' Too soon, Matsuda.
-->'''Light:''' No it's fine. I'm over it.
* BadassDecay: Near does his [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]] stare with [[DizzyCam the room spinning effect]]... and gets really dizzy and throws up. Also:
-->'''Light:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fu2nykadfY&list=PL66A1A5413B5E90F8&index=114&feature=plpp_video As I'm walking down the street / wanna kill everyone that I meet / Look at that top, it's sweet!]]
* CrossesTheLineTwice: [[spoiler: Souichiro's death]] Also:
-->'''Light:''' I'm rigging my desk so it will explode if anyone tries to steal my diary.
-->'''Ryuk:''' That's a good idea! Wait... Where's your sister at?
-->'''Light:''' What sister?
-->'''Sayu:''' ''*screaming* ''
* FashionVictimVillain: Mello
-->'''Souichiro:''' So... Music/LadyGaga has teamed up with the aliens...
* 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 [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome finale.]]
* HoYay:
-->'''Ryuk''' (to Light): I just noticed how [[WhatBeautifulEyes pretty your eyes are.]]
** And Light has a one-sided crush on L.
** Light and Namikawa. "Hey, L-boy!" Phone sex!
** Roger/Watari:
-->'''Roger:''' Such an angel [[spoiler: was plucked from this world too soon!]]
* InferredHolocaust: [[spoiler: What with the [[TheLegionsOfHell Shinigami]] [[AlienInvasion invasion]] and Near [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over the world]].]]
* JerkassWoobie: Light. Sure he's a SerialKiller killing off celebrities but he's also being molested by Shinigami and the man he's fallen in love with just wants to see him executed. His FreakOut after [[spoiler: L dies]] (while simultaneously being NightmareFuel) cements his [[TheWoobie Woobie]] status.
** Mello is a strong candidate as well. That poor psycho had to grow up with [[JerkAss Near!]] And [[spoiler: [[PoorCommunicationKills he gets killed over a stupid misunderstanding.]]]]
** Poor Mikami. [[CosmicPlaything The writer really has it in for him.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_QhsRInEbM&feature=channel&list=UL]]
** L is ever a Grade A JerkAss but still being [[spoiler: being BuriedAlive / resurrected just to die again]] was not cool. [[TheReveal Actually that]] was [[spoiler: ([[MindScrew probably]]) [[SerialKiller Beyond Birthday]] who had stolen L's identity so that also qualifies him for this trope. L himself still qualifies seeing as [[SexSlave the real L was being kept alive in Light's basement / lovenest for the last five years.]] ([[MindScrew Probably]]).]]
* LesYay: Misa and Takada.
* MemeticMolester: Ryuk. Also Matsuda and Mogi were hiding in Sayu's room while wearing a giant bear costume in order to spy on her... [[DontExplainTheJoke a "pedobear," if you will.]]
** "I was only seven. Beyond Birthday [[BigNo NOOOOOO!!!]]"
* NoYay: Ryuk/Light, Beyond/L, Ryuk/Misa, Near/Light, [[CargoShip Ryuk x Apples]], Souichiro/Ryuk, Matsuda/Ryuk, Demegawa/Kira, Aizawa/Yumi (Aizawa's daughter), [[{{Gonk}} Osoreda]]/Near and the taskforce wanting to gang rape Misa. There's also Gevanni (or rather [[spoiler: Raye Penber]]/[[CargoShip the Death Note]] and [[spoiler: Light keeping [[MindScrew L (or is it B?)]] as his SexSlave.]]
* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Takada and Near are far more likeable and/or interesting than their canon counterparts. Takada is a reasonable and likeable [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]] and Near is LaughablyEvil.
* TakeThatScrappy: Take That Misa:
-->'''Takada:''' I hope you're not mad but I think my bodyguard crippled your fake girlfriend today.
-->'''Light:''' Oh no, that's terrible! Is she paralyzed?
-->'''Takada:''' I don't know I'm not a doctor.
-->'''Light:''' Will she be able to talk?
-->'''Takada:''' At the rate she was blabbing I doubt that death itself would shut her up.
-->'''Light:''' Dammit! You should fire your bodyguards!
