* While also a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, Light's [[spoiler: near-effortless manipulation of events in the third act]] definitely shows the [[MagnificentBastard manipulative nature of Light's anime counterpart coming to the forefront]] after the viewers got to know a seemingly less malicious and powerful version of the character.

* At the very end of the film, [[spoiler: L has a page of the Death Note to himself, and he knows who Light really is. It's not shown if he kills him or not.]]

--> '''Ryuk''': [[EvilLaugh Heh heh heh]]... You could try. Let me tell you this, Light; my name has four letters. [[ImpliedDeathThreat The most anyone's ever gotten was]] ''[[ImpliedDeathThreat two]]''.

** [[spoiler::L's maniacal laughing at finding the page. That shows he has really JumpedOffTheSlipperySlope...]]

[[caption-width-right:350:One by one... they ''all'' fall down...]]

--> [[spoiler:'''Written in the Death Note''': Light Turner's heart will stop at midnight.]]

* The training that the potential L's go through, children are put in a "preparation room" for SEVEN MONTHS till they go insane, and the ones who don't have god knows what done to them to mold them into detectives...and L had this done to him at the age of SIX!!! Though they may have made a more traditional Wammy's house later as the building is shown to be abandoned thankfully.

* To the right, the FBI Agents throwing themselves off a building. [[spoiler: And the worst part is that it's not Light doing it. It's Mia.]]
* The scene where Light first meets Ryuk. Not only is Ryuk in shadow all the while, but he seems to ''goad Light into using the Death Note'', presumably for the first time. And how does Light use it? When he sees a pair of thugs harassing (and possibly [[AttemptedRape attempting to sexually assualt]]) a young woman, he writes one member's name, and then adds "''decapitation''."
** While we're at it, just Ryuk ''in general''. In addition to being portrayed with sinister menace by Creator/WillemDafoe, he's been redesigned to be [[SpikesOfVillainy sharper and more angular]] than his Manga and 2006 film counterpart and is much, ''[[EvilIsBigger much bigger]]''. He retains his MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily grin and his [[RedEyesTakeWarning gleaming red eyes]] are enhanced to reflect the "God" aspect in Death God, as upon closer inspections they aren't just glowing... [[GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath but reflecting]] ''[[GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath galaxies]]'' [[GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath within]].

* Light decapitating Kenny Doyle, while over the top, is incredibly brutal. It doesn't come off at the neck. It comes off at the mouth/jaw.

* At the very end of the film, [[spoiler: L has a page of the Death Note to himself, and he knows who Light really is. It's not shown if he kills him or not.]]

* [[spoiler: The reveal of just how dangerous Mia really is.

* Light decapitating Kenny Doyle, while over the top, is incredibly brutal. It doesn't come off at the neck. It comes off at the bottom of the head.

* Unlike his manga counterpart, Light does not give criminals heart attacks as a matter of course. Instead, he forces them to throw themselves off high buildings.
