Line 27:
** Raye Penber's [[Stay in the Kitchen]] line. Is he a misogynist, or does he just want his future wife to live a normal life as a housewife so she will no longer be in the risky trade as a law enforcement officer?
** From the live action movies there's Light's girlfriend (lol what?) Shiori Akino. Is she a) [[The Ingenue|genuinely clueless]] or b) she knows / suspects Light is Kira and [[Selective Obliviousness|is in denial]] or c) she knows / suspects Light is Kira and is [[Cooldown Hug|trying to talk him out of it.]]
* [[Americans Hate Tingle]]: And Italians Hate Light Yagami.
** Misa Amane is way more accepted in Japan, Europe and South America than in North America. If she could see fan reaction to her, she'd probably wish the NA ''[[Death Note]]'' fandom was more like the ''[[Batman]]'' fandom; [[Harley Quinn|she'd be more popular then!]]
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: [[Lethal Weapon|Shane]] [[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang|Black]] has been hired to direct the American [[Live Action Adaptation]].
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* [[Anvilicious]] : The power to kill is evil.
* [[Ass Pull]]: Mello and Near also come almost entirely out of the blue, in contrast to the usual pains the story takes to show the plans in action from start to finish.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Light is arguably in this trope's territory by the end of the series. It's clear he's cast off all altruistic qualities, committing murders in the name of pure self-deluded egomania instead.
** {{spoiler|[[Darker and Edgier|Ryuk calls Light out on this]] at the end of the first Live Action movie, and Rem re-iterates in the second one. In the films, he actually becomes ''worse'' than he ever was in the series, arranging for his girlfriend (whom he may or may not have even loved) to be killed so that the FBI agent in his way whom he'd manipulated into killing her would then take herself out. In the second one, he sinks so low as to make an active attempt ''on his own father's life'', which thankfully fails thanks to L. Even as he dies, he's unrepentant and insistent that Kira's way was justice with his last breath. And since both Higuchi and Rod Ross were not in these films, that makes Light himself the single most atrociously evil person in the story.}}
** Not to mention {{spoiler|Higuchi.}} {{spoiler|Rem actually comes to prefer ''Light'' over him when he expresses his obsession for Misa, hoping to make her, 12 1/2 years his junior, his bride. And, among all the characters who come into possesion of the Death Note, he's the only one who has no motive or attempt at justification whatsoever; he's just BAD. He's also the only Death Note user whose death has no aspect of [[Alas, Poor Villain]] whatsoever}}.
** [[Word of God]] names [[The Mafia|Mafia]] leader Rod Ross for the much competed title of "Evilest Person in ''[[Death Note]]''". To beat out [[Serial Killer|Serial Killers]], mass nurderers, [[Exalted Torturer|torturers]], terrorists, rapists, [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|greedy bastards]], and monsters that enjoy watching [[For the Evulz|human suffering for the lulz]], you must be doing something right... or rather wrong. Seeing how absolutely nonchalant he is about Mello's various atrocities definitively indicates just how soulless he is, and gives you the impression he's seen (and done) ''much'' worse in the past. In general, he comes off as the most repulsive person during that phase of the story, ''even moreso than Light.''
