I think light the difference between pre death note light and post death note light is like a person before and after winningthe lottery, you see a lot of people saying that if they win the lottery they wouldn't change but you can also see how a lot of people who win the lottery change for the worse

2025-06-21 12:41:18 +0000 UTCOn the last part of the video you said that it feels kinda different. I think that once the introduction of the new intro and outro soundtracks, it's been given a faster pace (from music, to the number of twist moments and explanations) maybe to suggests the "biggest brains" working twice as fast and under pressure; it might be chosen also to mark the climax of the series (which storytelling-wise it would make sense).

But they have good amount of real bangers that I discovered from hearing them in this series. Both the new intro and outro are from them.. Been looking forward to your reaction to them :D

2025-06-08 15:26:52 +0000 UTCThis is exactly the case. The tone is meant to feel "lighter" for the episodes where Light is not actually "Kira." Everything will make sense to our boy in the next few episodes.

2025-05-30 23:21:39 +0000 UTC5:10 you have to remember how Light straight-up admits he started doing this because he was bored. Now that he lost his memories, believes himself to be innocent, he's assisting the world's greatest detective find the world's deadliest serial killer with supernatural powers AND he was/is a prime suspect in the case his life is certainly must be lacking in the boredom department. That's why this Light is so much different.

2025-05-30 20:14:23 +0000 UTCPersonally think these are some of the weaker episodes of the series, but they’re still enjoyable. The two mangaka (manga authors) that wrote Death Note also made a manga series about making manga (super meta, I know) where you get some insight into their creative process and how manga is written. Since every chapter is written week by week by a single writer, they can sometimes feel disjointed in the writing, which you can kinda feel in some parts of Death Note. Overall it’s a great show, though!

2025-05-30 20:13:47 +0000 UTCI see it as Light always having wanted to make some kind of ”positive” change in this world (he did work on cases for the police before all of this as well), but the Death Note presented him with a way to go about it in a different way. He mentioned being bored at the start of the series, so he was probably waiting for an opportunity to make that change and the power corruption of the Death Note got to him first. Having erased those memories, the only ones he has left as of late are of him working with L and them becoming closer while working on the Kira case, another way for him to make this grand change in the world. When he lost his memories he only retained those positive ones of him working on L’s side of ”justice” and so he can’t imagine being the violent criminal that they’re chasing, because that would shatter his current view of the whole thing. However, I do think that it is a very jarring character change as we watch him switch up in an instant, but it kind of makes sense if you take it to extremes and then just delete one extreme in his mind completely.

2025-05-30 19:21:09 +0000 UTC5:54 I think it's just power corruption a bit more in the actual possession of the item which he wouldn't have when theorizing about what he'd do while he doesn't have it. I don't think the death note is supernaturally corrupting light, just the power in general corrupting, and causing a shift in values. He can trade in his virtue of autonomy and rights(which most people fundamentally have) for the virtue of what he thinks would be balance, justice, and safety for the masses in the long term. As we all know, plenty of people with good intentions or outlooks do things post-power they wouldn't agree they'd do pre-power. Light didn't say this when he first had the death note, but, it's been sorta a journey to get him from being skeptical to him killing everyone who gets in his way. I don't think he can conceptually access Death Note owner Light's perspective without his memories and the corruption process which brought him there.

2025-05-30 17:20:50 +0000 UTCI think the series wants the tone to feel different at the moment due to Light not having his memories. It’s genuinely trying to push this playful more lighthearted tone to endear us more to the “innocent” version of Light & his dynamic with L (joking around, fighting like brothers, etc.). Misa just works as a bridge for that due to her personality - like how in this scene she’s literally getting them all to hold hands & twirl. It’s sort of showing that rather sadly, they could have genuinely been friends in another life. That’s how I see it anyway. Whether things will shift back or not tone-wise will depend on if Light gets his memories back.
