9 | The villain in the {{prequel}} novel ''Death Note: Literature/AnotherNote: The Los Angeles BB Murder Case''. |
10 | ----- |
11 | * AlliterativeName: '''B'''eyond '''B'''irthday. |
12 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: Beyond was [[spoiler: born with the Shinigami eyes and is noted by Mello to have a "Shinigami's laugh," despite supposedly just being a particularly vicious human outside of these troubling details]]. |
13 | * AlwaysSecondBest: To both L and A. |
14 | * AxCrazy: BB easily stands out as the most vicious and depraved criminal that L has ever faced. Indeed, BB is what you would expect from a {{sadist}}ic SerialKiller who enjoys committing heinous and brutal crimes. |
15 | * BadassBookworm: He ''is'' from Wammy's House, after all. |
16 | * BatmanGambit: [[spoiler: He's counting on L reacting in a certain way.]] |
17 | * BecauseDestinySaysSo: [[spoiler:He kills people he sees are at the end of their lifespans.]] |
18 | ** [[spoiler: A bit of FridgeLogic here. If you consider that only people with the Death Note are supposed to be able to change a person's destiny based on seeing their lifespan, those people would probably have died from Beyond himself, not from something else like he said to justify his actions. To be fair though, he couldn't have known that. Even more FridgeLogic when you think about the fact that if he hadn't had the Shinigami Eyes, he wouldn've have seen their lifespans, and wouldn't have decided to kill them, and their lifespans would have lasted longer. Their lifespans were shorter simply because he could see them.]] |
19 | %%* BetaTestBaddie |
20 | * BigBad: Of ''Literature/AnotherNote''. |
21 | * ButtMonkey: He's AlwaysSecondBest and there's the instance where he's ''[[AmusingInjuries stepped on]]'' by Naomi Misora. [[spoiler: Also there's the whole failing to achieve his goal of [[WhatTheHellHero "calling out L"]] with his EvilPlan thing-the poor guy couldn't even kill himself properly. [[CurbStompBattle And later while he's serving time in prison he's killed by Kira.]]]] |
22 | * CallingCard: The ''wara ningyo''. |
23 | * CanonForeigner: Does not actually appear in the series proper, but was absorbed into the canon of ''Manga/DeathNote''. |
24 | * CantCatchUp: [[spoiler: [[FreudianExcuse As hard as he worked to be the next L, L never saw him as an an equal, just a Backup.]]]] |
25 | * CarryABigStick: Clubbed to death, knifed to death, beaten to death- he's not too picky as long as he carries out his objective of making his target dead. |
26 | * CastOfSnowflakes: Played straight in the book. BB is only supposed to bear a vague resemblance to L. |
27 | * CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Is caught rifling through Quarter Queen's underwear drawer, for reasons unknown. It was ''probably'' to keep up the "unprivate detective" act, though Naomi thinks he's just being a pervert. (Partly because of a CrossCulturalKerfuffle involving the fetishization of women's underwear, and partly because she doesn't like Beyond in the first place.) That, or he was [[{{Troll}} intentionally trying to provoke a reaction from her]]. |
28 | %%* TheChessmaster |
29 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Just like L, B has odd quirks and mannerisms. |
30 | %%* ColdBloodedTorture |
31 | %%* CrazyPrepared |
32 | * CreateYourOwnVillain: Is angry with L, because he feels that L didn't care about the kids being groomed as his successors. |
33 | %%* CreepyMonotone |
34 | * CreepySouvenir: Takes Backyard Bottomslash's left arm away from the crime scene, probably to make said crime scene more confusing for L and/or whoever else might have been investigating. It's not known what he did with it. [[note]]Many fans assume he ate it, but this is not confirmed in-story.[[/note]] |
35 | * CriminalMindGames: Among other games and codes BB sends a CrosswordPuzzle indicating who he's going to kill next to the police. |
36 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: For his victims if the state of the corpses is anything to go by. |
37 | * CurbStompBattle: As [[spoiler: Mello]] points out, "how humiliating for him"... |
38 | * CuteAndPsycho: Well he's a psycho and [[spoiler: he looks like L.]] [[http://locust-713.deviantart.com/art/BB-s-first-love-133948383]] |
39 | %%* DarkAndTroubledPast |
40 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Subverted. [[spoiler: He comes off as very creepy from his first appearance but due to MistakenIdentity the audience is made to think he's a good guy.]] Turns out he's really DarkIsEvil all along. |
41 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
42 | * DeathSeeker: [[spoiler: B had planned it so he would be the final victim.]] |
43 | * DeceptiveDisciple: [[spoiler: No student at Wammy's House ever put so much effort into ''[[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor BEING]]'' [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor L]]...]] |
44 | * DefiantToTheEnd: "I have never once been submissive even to a traffic light." |
45 | * DetectiveMole: Naomi Misora is very impressed by Ryuuzaki's uncanny ability to [[spoiler: [[CriminalMindGames decipher BB's codes.]]]] |
46 | * DepravedHomosexual: Or possibly DepravedBisexual (we don't get to see enough of him to know for sure.) |
47 | * TheDeterminator: [[spoiler: [[FreudianExcuse Because of his Eyes, B knows that everything dies, everything falls apart]] [[VillainousValour but he presses on anyway.]] He also already knows that his death alone won't be enough to make L ''notice'' but creating a puzzle he can't solve will.]] |
48 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: To Naomi. |
49 | * DissonantSerenity: Does this a lot. |
50 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: "I have never even been submissive to a traffic signal!" |
51 | %%* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette |
52 | * EmbarrassingNickname: [[BerserkButton Backup]]. |
53 | * EvilCounterpart: To L. Indeed B goes out of his way to ''be'' this. [[ShadowArchetype Also to Mello]] ([[ScareEmStraight L shares B's story with Mello]] perhaps because he is afraid that that Mello [[TurnOutLikeHisFather would turn out like his predecessor]]) and [[EvilerThanThou Light]] (though Kira [[AMillionIsAStatistic kills far more people]]; B is more sadistic and his brand of villainy is more [[ColdBloodedTorture immediately terrifying]] and has a much more ''[[ItsPersonal personal]]'' touch.) |
54 | * EvilIsPetty: The entire thing is basically a [[MemeticMutation "Notice me, Senpai!"]] gambit. |
55 | * EvilLaugh: If Shinigami could breed you'd think he was related to Ryuk - he has his laugh. |
56 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Presumably, given L's voice from the series proper. We are never told what BB's voice actually sounds like, however. |
57 | * EvilTwin: To L, though he might not be (indeed, probably is not) a ''literal'' twin. |
58 | %%* EyeScream |
59 | * FameThroughInfamy: His entire goal is to surpass L... not by becoming the world's greatest detective, but by becoming the world's greatest criminal. |
60 | * FanBoy: he's an {{Otaku}} as well as being L's deranged fanboy. |
61 | * TheFatalist: It comes with knowing when [[spoiler: everyone is going to die]] |
62 | * FauxAffablyEvil: The friendly way in which he interacts with Naomi, and even when he's alone he's pretty chipper, for the most part. Also, the fact that he was (FromACertainPointOfView) "kind" enough to anesthetize his victims somehow, before killing and dismembering them in the grisly manners that he did. He also arranges for Blackberry Brown and Bluesharp Babysplit to be evacuated to a 5-star hotel (when a cheap motel would have been the norm). Finally, Mello points out that he never actually cut any of his victims' lives short, since his Shinigami eyes allowed him to pick out people who were going to die soon anyway, and he chose to kill them all on their death day, meaning that none of them actually missed out on anything life had to offer on B's account. |
63 | %%* {{Fingore}} |
64 | * FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: He was an orphan boy who witnessed his parents die, [[CursedWithAwesome was born with the Shinigami eyes]] and apparently knows how to read the lifespan numbers so he has seen death all around him all his life. Furthermore, B was never seen as an individual with his own merits-[[WellDoneSonGuy just L's Backup]].]] |
65 | * FullBodyDisguise: [[spoiler: Used when "testing" Naomi Misora.]] |
66 | * AGlassOfChianti: Or rather A Jar Of Strawberry Jam used to the same effect (is it jam or is it blood?) with the added bonus that some fans [[UglyCute find it cute.]] |
67 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: * [[spoiler:Is left with horrific burns after the "suicide" part of his MurderSuicide plot doesn't go according to plan.]] |
68 | %%* {{Gorn}} |
69 | * TheHyena: He practices his EvilLaugh. |
70 | %%* InsaneEqualsViolent |
71 | %%* IJustWantToBeYou |
72 | %%* InterruptedSuicide |
73 | * IdenticalStranger: Looks like L (though to what degree is debatable, given his status as a MasterOfDisguise). They may or may not be related to one another or know each other personally. |
74 | %%* ImAHumanitarian: WordOfDante has it that BB consumed blood and/or flesh from some or all of his victims, though this is not explicitly mentioned in the novel. (According to who?) |
75 | * IJustWantToBeYou: Copies L, to the point where it's not clear which are B's own personality traits and which he's doing to imitate L. |
76 | * InsaneEqualsViolent |
77 | * IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery |
78 | * KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Drugged all of his victims first. |
79 | * TheKillerBecomesTheKilled: He died in prison of [[spoiler: a sudden heart attack, suggesting it was actually the result of a Death Note.]] |
80 | * KnightOfCerebus: While ''Death Note'' is far from being family-friendly, BB is by far the darkest and most vicious villain in the series. His unusually unpleasant and gruesome crimes take the storyline to a level of BloodierAndGorier never before seen in the franchise, ''not even'' with Light Yagami as the BigBad in [[Manga/DeathNote the main series]]. The story's tone with BB even borders on GenreShift territory. |
81 | %%* PsychoKnifeNut |
82 | %%* LaughablyEvil |
83 | %%* LooksLikeCesare |
84 | %%* LoonyFan |
85 | %%* ManipulativeBastard |
86 | * MasterOfDisguise: [[IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery As part of his creepy obsession with L.]] |
87 | * MysteriousPast |
88 | * {{Namedar}}: He was born with [[spoiler:the Shinigami eyes.]] |
89 | * NamedLikeMyName: [[spoiler: "Ryuuzaki" copied the copycat when choosing an alias]]. |
90 | * NeatFreak: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as he needs to meticulously clean his victims' houses to avoid leaving any trace evidence behind. |
91 | %%* NietzscheWannabe |
92 | %%* NightmareFetishist |
93 | * {{Ninja}}: Although not actually described as being one, his way of doing things certainly evokes the image of a ninja. |
94 | * NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[spoiler: L's [[EvilTwin evil doppelganger]][=/=][[TykeBomb Wammy's Kid]][=/=]SerialKiller[=/=]born with [[{{Namedar}} Shinigami eyes.]]]] He's not a typical DN [[OriginalCharacter OC]], but a ''very scary'' BigBad. |
95 | %%* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace |
96 | %%* NoSocialSkills |
97 | * ObfuscatingStupidity |
98 | * {{Onryo}}: He has this look. |
99 | %%* OralFixation |
100 | * {{Otaku}}: [[spoiler: He leaves a clue in an ''Manga/AkazukinChaCha'' manga collection.]] |
101 | * ParentalAbandonment: Like everyone else from Wammy's, he's an orphan. |
102 | * PrimalStance: See "Running on all fours." |
103 | * RealMenWearPink: Wears makeup, and eats sweets. Also gushes over a manga geared towards young girls. |
104 | ** Also, he nails ''wara ningyo'' dolls into a wall, much in the way they would be traditionally nailed to a tree in a Shinto shrine. That activity, however, was ''traditionally'' performed by a woman. |
105 | %%* RedEyesTakeWarning |
106 | %%* TheResenter |
107 | * ReturningToTheScene: [[spoiler: More like Never Left The Scene...]] [[BatmanGambit but it's all part of the plan.]] |
108 | %%* TheRival |
109 | * RunningOnAllFours: He frequently crawls around in a freaky way. |
110 | * {{Sadist}}: He likes to kill his victims in rather painful ways. |
111 | %%* SelfImmolation |
112 | * {{Seme}}: Self-described as "an aggressive top". |
113 | * SerialKiller: It's hinted that the 3 from the novel are just ''his known victims''. Keep in mind, too, that the time between his leaving of Wammy's House and the events of the novel only span about ''3 months''. |
114 | * ShoutOut: Spends ''an entire paragraph'' gushing over ''Manga/AkazukinChaCha''! |
115 | * TheSociopath: He goes on a killing spree throughout Los Angeles. He kills a young teenage girl in the process and never shows any regret for it. |
116 | * SuspectExistenceFailure: That was the plan, anyway. |
117 | %%* SuckSessor |
118 | * SuperpowerfulGenetics: [[spoiler:[[HalfHumanHybrid So]][[CursedWithAwesome me]][[LamarckWasRight how]] he was ''born'' with the Shinigami eyes.]] |
119 | * SweetTooth: B must surpass L at everything, even sugar consumption. "It's sweet dirt." |
120 | %%* TeenGenius |
121 | * TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: Can see everyone's real names and lifespans (except his own, which is part of why [[spoiler:his suicide attempt failed]]) due to [[spoiler:being born with the Shinigami eyes]], and has spent most of his life [[DoomMagnet "surrounded by death" as a result]]. Combine that with the stresses of the L program, and it's no wonder he's so maladjusted. |
122 | * ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: When he's introduced [[spoiler: he comes crawling out from under a bed.]] |
123 | %%* ThirteenIsUnlucky |
124 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Strawberry jam. |
125 | * TykeBomb: Was being trained as this back at Wammy's. |
126 | * TheUnfettered: [[spoiler: He will do whatever it takes to get L's attention.]] |
127 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: BB stands out as an unusually horrific, disturbing and dark villain, ''even by Death Note standards''. Make no mistake, Death Note is by no means a family-friendly story, but much of its dark and sinister tone is balanced by its continued {{Shonen}} elements, with Light Yagami's [[EvilIsHammy entertainingly hammy speeches]], and occasional humorous or lighthearted moments. [[KnightOfCerebus Any trace of lightness or levity disappears whenever BB is involved in the plot of Another Note]], however. If anything, this is exactly what you would expect from an AxCrazy SerialKiller and {{sociopath}} who carries out a series of elaborate and brutal murders, adding a new element of darkness to the already somber tone of the franchise and pushing the series into BloodierAndGorier territory never before seen in the main series, almost bordering on a GenreShift. |
128 | * VillainousCrush: B both loves and loathes his senpai, L. |
129 | * VoodooDoll: Or rather wara ningyo left at every crime scene. |
130 | %%* VillainProtagonist |
131 | * WellDoneSonGuy: [[spoiler: He just wants L to notice him!]] |
132 | * WhiteCollarCrime: Purchased a storefront and warehouse to live in, by pretending to be affiliated with a business that was no longer ''in'' business. Also made use of stolen identities and credit cards. |
133 | %%* WildHair |
134 | * WorthyOpponent: Judges Naomi to be this after he tests her by attacking her on the street. |
135 | * WouldHitAGirl: Two of his victims are women (actually, one is a teenage girl), and he assaults Naomi as a test. |
136 | * WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: One of B's victims was 14 year old Quarter Queen.]] |

156 | |
157 | The 13-year-old protagonist of the ''Death Note'' Pilot chapter (which takes place in a different continuity than that of the main series). Technically, this makes him the first of the Kiras. |
158 | |
159 | Mikami's appearance, but not his personality, was based on Taro's. |
160 | ----- |
161 | * AccidentalMurder: He can't read the English on the notebook very well, so he uses it as a diary and in which he writes the names of the kids who bullied him. He doesn't make the connection until after the second set of bullies dies. |

165 | %%* BeingEvilSucks |
166 | %%* CanonForeigner |
167 | * DeathIsCheap: The Death Eraser can undo the deaths of anyone whose name is written in the notebook. |
168 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: Taro and the main antagonist part on good terms, with the antagonist thanking Taro for stopping him and then apologizing for almost killing him. |
169 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: Kind of. [[spoiler: He allows himself to be killed with the death note to prove that he's telling the truth to the police officers. He even jokes a little when giving instructions on what to write for cause of death. Of course, he's quickly revived with the Death Eraser]] |
170 | * FromBadToWorse: [[spoiler: Even after he revives his victims with the [[AssPull Death Eraser]].]] |
171 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Seemingly insignificant and unpopular kid who eventually has the entire student body scared out of their wits. |
172 | * HalfwayPlotSwitch: [[spoiler: At first, Taro is something of a VillainProtagonist who is trying to avoid being found out. Then, once he revives everyone he kills, he spends the rest of the pilot acting as a KidDetective, trying to find the killer who has taken his place.]] |
173 | ** When you compare it to the main series, it feels like a condensed version of everything Light went through from the first chapter all the way to [[spoiler:the end of the Yotsuba arc]]. |
174 | * HappyEnding: [[spoiler:The ONLY Kira who gets one of these, folks.]] |
175 | * IWroteOurStory: Cue EpilepticTrees. |
176 | %%* KidDetective |
177 | %%* KidHero |
178 | * KidsAreCruel: Taro is a favorite target for the school bullies. |
179 | * LighterAndSofter: When compared to Light. However, since he actually came first, you could say that Light is a DarkerAndEdgier replacement for him. |
180 | * LongHairedPrettyboy: After the TimeSkip. |
181 | * MirrorCharacter: [[spoiler: It turns out that the pilot's real villain is basically another kid who, like Taro, was constantly picked on and initially killed people by accident.]] |
182 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He has nightmares about the boys he killed until he undoes their deaths. |
183 | * PastExperienceNightmare: His victims haunt him in his dreams. Had he been the protagonist of the main series, it's doubtful that he could have gone as far as Light did. |
184 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: Potentially, though he isn't ''shown'' using the notebook this way. |

Also she has a strong sense of justice, is studying to be a prosecutor, and [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend is very protective of Light]]--like another of Light's allies who never got any screentime in the live-action movies--a GenderFlipped prenote![[HoYay Teru Mikami]]? |

362 | !!Characters in 2016 Live-Action Movie |
363 | |
364 | [[folder:Shien Yuki]] |
365 | |
366 | The antagonist of the 2016 film, ''Film/DeathNoteLightUpTheNewWorld''. A cyber-terrorist who idolizes Kira. |
367 | |
368 | Portrayed by: Masaki Suda |
369 | ---- |
370 | * AffablyEvil: Despite being a serial killer, he's very courteous to the people he executes. |
371 | * LightIsNotGood: [[http://otakumode.com/news/57197eb27780044f0a691f0e/Key-Visual-and-Title-Announced-for-2016-Death-Note-Movie Early promotional posters]] for the movie depict him dressed completely in white. And he's the villain. Quite fitting, as he's emulating his predecessor Light Yagami, who was a literal example of the trope. |
372 | * MultipleGunshotDeath: [[spoiler:How he goes out, just like Matt in the manga and anime]]. |
373 | * WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: Promotional blurbs for the film states that he "inherited the DNA" of Light Yagami. However, while it's revealed that Light had a child, Shien isn't that child.]] |
374 | [[/folder]] |
375 | |
376 | [[folder:Ryuzaki II]] |
377 | L's counterpart for the new film. Named as "Ryuzaki" in promotional material. |
378 | ---- |
379 | * AnimeHair: A bushy moptop with blonde streaks. |
380 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Dedicated to stopping the rise of a new Kira and an early poster for the movie has him dressed all in black, contrasted with villain Shien Yuki who wears white. |
381 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's pretty rude at the best of times, but he always comes around for his allies. |
382 | * MalevolentMaskedMen: A non-traditional example. He's not a particularly nice person, but not as amoral as his predecessor L and only uses the mask to protect his face. |
383 | * {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler: Early promotional material states that he "inherited L's DNA." Make of that what you will.]] |
384 | [[/folder]] |
385 | |
386 | [[folder:Tsukuru Mishima]] |
387 | A police officer who finds himself caught in the conflict between Ryuzaki and Shien. |
388 | --- |
389 | * EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Ryuzaki forgives Mishima, even giving him the L legacy.]] |
390 | * GetItOverWith: [[spoiler:When Nanase tries to kill him, as his status as Neo Kira meant that he killed her brother, he positions himself so that her gun is aimed directly at his forehead. He then tells her to pull the trigger, as he is guilty of being a murderer, and she does. However, Arma wrote Nanase's name in her 'Death Note' as it happened, so Mishima is spared instead]]. |
391 | * MemoryGambit: [[spoiler:It turns out he's the real Neo Kira, not Yuki Shien, and he pulled a memory loss trick a la Light Yagami, ten years earlier.]] |
392 | * RedHerring: [[spoiler:Throughout the movie, we're led to think he's the new protagonist and Yuki Shien the villain. But in fact, ''he's'' Neo Kira. And his real name is Ryo Nakagami.]] |
393 | * WalkingSpoiler: It's almost impossible to talk about him without revealing a major twist. |
394 | [[/folder]] |
395 | |
396 | [[folder:Arma]] |
397 | A newly introduced Shinigami for the 2016 film. |
398 | |
399 | Voiced By: Creator/MiyukiSawashiro |
400 | ---- |
401 | * ButterFace: Inverted. While she has the anatomy of a giant insect standing on its hind legs, her face is quite pretty. |
402 | * {{Expy}}: She's essentially a {{Gender Flip}}ped version of [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Sidoh/Shidoh]] from the original series. |
403 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: She saves Ryuzaki and Mishima from being killed by Nanase, going out the same way as Jealous and Rem: disintegrating into sand.]] |
404 | * LoveMartyr: Her relationship with Ryzaki borders on romantic and he states that she may give up her life for him. [[spoiler:She ultimately does.]] |
405 | * NiceGirl: She's very pleasant, not taking pleasure in other's suffering like Ryuk does. |
406 | * ThePollyanna: Never seen in a bad mood. |
407 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Grapes. |
408 | [[/folder]] |
409 | |
410 | [[folder:Sakura Aoi]] |
411 | A Death Note holder from the 2016 film, ''Film/DeathNoteLightUpTheNewWorld''. |
412 | ---- |
413 | * AdvertisedExtra: [[spoiler: She's killed off in her first scene.]] |
414 | * AxCrazy: Kills people completely at random. |
415 | * BigBadWannabe: Has delusions of surpassing Kira, [[spoiler: but isn't intelligent enough.]] |
416 | * {{Sadist}}: She'll commit mass-murder with all the enthusiasm of a teenager playing ''Videogame/CallOfDuty''. |
417 | [[/folder]] |
418 | |
419 | [[folder:Bepo]] |
420 | An original Shinigami for ''Film/DeathNoteLightUpTheNewWorld'' that accompanies Sakura Aoi. |
421 | ---- |
422 | * AdvertisedExtra: [[spoiler: Appears for all of one scene and is never seen or referenced again.]] |
423 | * AmbiguousGender: It's not entirely clear if Bepo is male or female. |
424 | * {{Expy}}: of Armonia from the original manga and anime. |
425 | * GoldMakesEverythingShiny: Has golden skin. |
426 | * MrExposition: Gives the Kira Task Force additional information regarding the Death Notes. |
427 | [[/folder]] |
428 | |
429 | |
430 | [[folder:Light's son]] |
431 | Light's son, introduced very fleetingly in ''Film/DeathNoteLightUpTheNewWorld''. Very little is known about him. |
432 | ---- |
433 | * AllThereInTheManual: Most of what we know about him comes from supplementary materials. According to the tie-in novelization for the film, he was an abusive, controlling and threatening individual, who treated Mikami, his foster father, as a slave. |
434 | * AssholeVictim: Probably one of the least sympathetic Death Note users. |
435 | * CreepyChild: A nine-year-old boy who's gleefully killing criminals and may well have killed his own foster father had said foster father not intervened. |
436 | * MysteriousPast: We never do find out who his mother was, but it definitely isn't Misa. |
437 | * NoNameGiven: We never do learn his true name. All that's shown on-screen is two characters from his name, the 神 from "Yagami" and 光, the latter of which can be read as "Hikaru," "Hikari," "Akira," "Teru" [[note]]though this is unlikely seeing as the series already has a character named Teru and [[OneSteveLimit never uses the same name for more than one character]][[/note]] and "Mitsu" among other potential readings. He's only ever referred to in the novelization as "Light's son" and "the boy." |
438 | * TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: How else to describe a boy who's not even ten and is maliciously killing criminals? It says something that Mikami felt it necessary to get him out of the picture, and not for villainous reasons. |
