** Not to mention Matt's hair. He's never shown in any color pages of the original manga, so a hair color was never defined for him. Fanon decided his hair was a lovely maroon color or cherry red depending on what you like. When the anime came along, he was given a hair color of brown with natural highlights somewhere between navy and dark green, depending on the lighting. Guess which hair color he is still usually drawn with. Also, the fandom decided his eyes were any one of several shades of green. His canon eye color is a deep blue...but the green eyes are as entrenched in the fandom as the red hair.
* At the end of ''Anime/DeathNoteRelight'', we see a {{Shinigami}} that is [[GogglesDoNothing wearing goggles]] and torn up school clothes, during the scene where [[spoiler:Ryuk looks at Light's name in his Death Note]]. People assume that [[spoiler:the Shinigami is Light himself after dying. It was stated in the series that Light was more devious than a Shinigami by Rem, so people think Light got reincarnated because of how he used the Death Note]].
** This fanon has also sparked the overall idea that {{Shinigami}} used to be normal humans and that any human who uses a Death Note will become a {{Shinigami}} themselves after they die.

* [[WordOfDante The author]] of ''FanFic/ZeroVsKira'' did the math and gives a conservative estimate that if Light did nothing but write names (taking a ten minute break to rest his hand) [[PersonOfMassDestruction Kira's kill-rate would be around 1,000 dead per hour.]]

** Depending on the writer Mello might be German, Russian, Prussian, or Slovenian and he almost always was born with ties to the mafia.
** In many fics, Mello is said to be a practicing Catholic, because he is (particularly in the manga) seen with Catholic paraphernalia in his home and wears a rosary necklace, and also the aforementioned note on his (possible) heritage. (Notably, although Misa owns some Catholic paraphernalia, she is generally thought to just have it because it looks cool) It certainly also would be [[AgainstMyReligion a plausible motivation to fight against Kira and his regime]], beyond merely besting Near (who he [[spoiler: technically ''gave'' the role of L's successor to in the series.]] Also, Mello refers to [[{{God}} The Almighty]] in his introduction to ''Literature/AnotherNote''.
** In almost every fanfic where the topic of Mello's burn scar comes up, the one who treated the burns was Matt, who almost invariably has no medical knowledge, or only some ''very'' basic medical knowledge. In the series, we don't know ''who'' did, only that the doctors (legitimate and [[BackAlleyDoctor otherwise]]) that Kira et. al. talked to did not recognize anyone resembling Linda's drawing of Mello. It would have been ''very'' difficult (though not necessarily impossible) for a non-medical person like Matt to treat burns that severe [[note]] Or, indeed, for an actual medical professional ''outside'' of a hospital or clinic setting [[/note]], and not have them get infected or anything.

* Light's sister Sayu is lesbian. It's never outright confirmed but [[AmbiguouslyGay there are a lot of signs]]. Less common is her being bisexual due to her mentioning to Matsuda she would have considered dating him if he was younger, as well as [[CelebrityCrush going gaga over Hideki Ryuga]].
* Light himself is likely to be gay or bi (Shipper or not most fans believe he is at least into dudes)
* Odds are Misa likes girls too she just doesn’t realize it yet (this is Death Note no one is straight)!
