Pretty sure it has to be explicit cases instead of subtext, since the main page mentions speculation not counting.

-->'''Ryuk''': But I warn you, there are four letters in my name. Most anyone's ever gotten were ''two''.

* InternalDeconstruction: Can be seen as this from a certain perspective, with Light and L being deconstructions of their manga counterparts and this affecting the story. For all their intelligence and belief in their abilities, neither of them reach the same levels as their original selves for two simple reasons: Light is ultimately nothing more than a teenager with delusions of grandeur while L's [[BunnyEarsLawyer eccentricities]] are shown to make him an arrogant DefectiveDetective who is sadly unable to handle the situation when things go out of control. Instead of two genius minds battling it to prove who will ultimately be the victor, it's just two arrogant men trying to prove who is smarter than the other.

** Related to Ryuk, Shinigami in the original manga and anime were portrayed as otherworldly parasites who used the Death Notes to kill humans and add the potential years they had left to the Shinigami's own lifespans. While still portrayed as antagonistic to humanity, they were clearly doing it because of the sustenance it gave them. Additionally, Shinigami by the present day were said to have become so lazy that they didn't even bother with writing names in their Death Notes anymore. In this film, no mention is made of Shinigami/Death Gods needing to kill humans to extend their lifespans; Ryuk simply tells Light that every human near the end of their life has a Death God stalking them, and that the Death Gods can manipulate events to their liking. This implies that Ryuk and others like him only actively kill for [[ItAmusedMe their own sick amusement]].
Added DiffLines:
* TheChosenOne: In contrast to the source material where Ryuk simply dropped the Death Note in a random location (Ryuk even mocks Light for thinking he was "chosen" to wield the Note's power), this version of events has Ryuk tell Light that he was chosen after the previous Keeper of the Death Note died. [[spoiler: When it's clear to both Ryuk and Mia that Light won't cross certain boundaries, the latter takes it upon herself to engineer things in a bid to become the new Keeper. Ryuk even comments that he likes Mia's attitude.]] Since we never see any other Death Gods in the film, it's unknown if others can do the same while Light is active, or if only one human can be chosen at a time.

** This also applies to the Death Note itself as seen in PragmaticAdaptation below. Due to many of the rules being unmentioned or simplified, it is far more powerful here than in the original:
*** In the manga and anime, it's explicitly mentioned that the Death Note can only mind control people to a certain extent. If a victim tries to do an impossible task, like write or draw something they don't know or believe, only the cause of death will take effect. In the movie, Light is able to have inmates in various continents write "Lord Kira has returned to punish the wicked" in perfect Japanese despite most of them likely having no knowledge of both Japanese and Kira.
*** One of the rules shown in the anime say that if a cause of death leads to the death more than the intended, the victim will simply die of a heart attack. In the movie, one of the deaths shown was a terrorist leader blowing himself up right in front of his men, also killing them, with no indication that Light or Mia wrote their names in the Death Note as well.
*** A similar rule in the original specifies that even though only one name is written in Death Note, the victim will simply die of a heart attack if it influences and causes other people ''not'' written in it to die. This rule is absent in the movie, which [[spoiler: Mia uses to her advantage to influence one of the FBI agents to write down the names of the other FBI agents in the Death Note.]] In contrast, the original Light had to threaten Raye and trick him into writing down the agents names on pages of the Death Note before killing him.
*** While the rules in the original never specify what types of name count, the manga and anime makes it clear that there needs to be a first name ''and'' a surname, as shown with [[spoiler: Soichiro saying he's written Mello's first name in the notebook before being shot and Light in the manga being one letter away from finishing Near's surname before Matsuda intervenes. Since Soichiro and Light didn't finish writing it down, the Death Note does nothing]]. Here, the Death Note can take effect even with only a first name, with [[spoiler: the Death Note taking effect on Watari using his first name instead of both that and his surname.]]
