History YMMV / LightAndDarkTheAdventuresofDarkYagami

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Watari is by far the best-recieved character in this fic, due to his hilarious LargeHam characterization.

** A [[DeathIsCheap relatively]] straight example: [[spoiler:“I HAVE KILLED MY ONE TRUE SON! NOW WHO WILL I TAKE TO SOCCER PRACTISE?”� “My deer father. You are bestest dad a dude could have.”�]]

-->“YOU HAVE LEANED WELL FROM ME!”� he whispered like moldy bread. “LEARNED WELL LIKE A FOX WHO WENT TO SCHOL AND DID WELL AND THEN WENT TO COLLEGE”�

* HilariousInHindsight: One of the story's first divergences from canon is establishing that it is set in the US and that almost all of the characters are american. [[Film/DeathNote2017 An official adaptation later did something similar.]]

** The Blind Note apparently exists solely as a reason for Light to hate Near (see KickTheSonOfABitch).

** There are "Sex Notes". What they do is unclear, but they seem to give TIOSEFAJ blonde hair and [[GagBoobs a killer rack]]. In the epilogue, it's mentioned Samanther/[[spoiler: Light's Mom]] has a sex note but it's not a Note, merely a book where she's written down people she wants to have sex with. Dark/[[spoiler: Soichiro]] being the only name on it so far.

** The Life Note[[note]]Although the Life Note is fairly common in Death Note fanfiction and appeared in the manga pilot in the form of a Life ''Eraser''[[/note]], each special ability of the Royal Death Note, Naomi's true identity... Dark's magic cellphone is both a metaphorical and [[AssShove literal asspull]].

* BadassDecay: Most of the characters who don't [[TookALevelInBadass Take a Level in Badass]] in the story suffer it in some form but Light definitely suffers the worst from it. [[spoiler:Until the final epilogue...]]

* HoYay: Light and L.
* LesYay: Sayu/Misa, Takada/"Desk Lady", Naomi/Night.

** Ruyk. "Why can't I eat a blood banana?" Practically everything he says could end ";_;"

* CriticalResearchFailure:
** As well as "Whales" being a town in England, the description of a nuclear bomb is wrong on about fifty levels.
** Watari somehow becomes the ''Queen'' of England and Scotland. Kilometers are said to be the same as miles in France.
** Apparently [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon Red]] was for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis and it has a score system.
** Dark jumps from the Eiffel Tower in Paris and lands in the ''Thames'' in London. Also, people in [[TheNineties the 90s]] apparently used their TV to download stuff.

* ShockingSwerve: Attempting to replicate the source material's penchant for plot twists, there's usually one per chapter. They are nowhere near as effective or epic as the author thinks they are, though; at most, they are hilarious.
