|'''[[Magic A Is Magic A|Rule #1]]''' of the Death Note}}
In the land of the dead, the [[Shinigami]] Ryuk—bored out of his mind—attempts to create some entertainment by dropping a Death Note (a death god's notebook; "note" is simply what the Japanese call notebooks) into the human world.
Line 41 ⟶ 43:
** And then there's [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Matt]], whose hair came out dark greenish brown in the anime, was never established in the manga, was blue in the official game, and is bright red in most [[Fan Art]].
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The series is based on a short story about a schoolboy who finds a Death Note and mistakes it for a diary. As a result, {{spoiler|he accidentally kills his friends, until Ryuk helpfully gives him "The Death Eraser", which grants him the power to bring people back from the dead}}. Somewhere along the road to adapting it into a full series, the schoolboy became a mega genius with a [[A God Am I|god complex]], the boring [[Film Noir]]ish detective became a freakish mega genius with a sweet tooth, and the [[Deus Ex Machina]] ending was replaced with [[Xanatos Gambit]]s by the bucket-load, and the rest is history. The short story, however, appears as the prologue to the manga it sprouted.
* [[Adaptational Personality Adjustment]]: The Japanese live-action films did this for both Light and Misa Amane.
** Light's motivation in the manga and anime was pure boredom, picking up the notebook and testing it on a whim. In the movies, he's a law student that wants justice. After he gets mugged, Light laments how the current court systems are useless to help their victims.
** Misa in the manga, and to a greater extent in the anime, was meant to be a [[Spanner in the Works]] ditzy model and actress that upends Light's carefully planned game of cat-and-mouse owing to her obsessive love for him since he avenged her parents. She's more serious in the films, and we actually ''see'' the scene where burglars killed her parents. Unlike her manga counterpart, Misa is well aware that Light is not a good guy, as she's crying [[Tears of Remorse]] and horror when {{spoiler|he plans to kill his father to tie up one loose end but still loves him}}. The sequel movie confirms that {{spoiler|she would rather risk her life for a chance to see Light again, despite Light being dead for years, and writes her name in the Death Note saying he would return to her. Death Notes can't make impossible deaths happen, so she succumbs to a heart attack}}.
