LIGHT COULD HAVE LIVED LONGER! (SHINIGAMI EYES THEORY DEBUNKED!!)

 Light Yagami is one of the most popular serial killers in not only all anime but also of all crime genres. From the chips scene to the rooftop scene, he had made ‘Death Note’ not only an anime but a classic beyond any genre. Such well lived was his life, and ‘glorious’ was his death!

(Lemme live my anime dream :) )




But in the years of the series’ release, and even thereafter (still 17 yrs later!!), his death remains a matter of discussion, umm…sorry, heated debates. Could he have lived longer if he played his ‘game’ right? What else could he have achieved? Was the world better with or without him? An important argument is always considered in regard to the first question. Ryuk killed Light by writing his name in the Death Note after he lost the ‘game’ to Near and was heavily wounded though barely escaped. He had no future ahead, thus Ryuk showing mercy.

But if he had taken the Shinigami eyes, he could have killed them himself! So such ‘games’ were never a necessity! Ofc, the series would become boring…but realistically, he could have lived longer!!

“No, he wouldn’t, fools. He would have died earlier! Think back to the time Ryuk offered him those eyes. What did he say? It reduces the user’s life in half! So Light would have died halfway only!! Think about when Soichiro Yagami took the eye and died the same day. If he hadn’t, he would still die in two days! Light has lived his full life!!”

“If your total life is 80 yrs and lived to 20 and get the eyes, your remaining 60 yrs would reduce to 30…meaning you will die at 50. Get those again at 40 and of the remaining 10 yrs you get 5, so you will die at 45!”

Understood. But not quite. Remember what Ryuk said in Ep 1? The Death Note takes whatever life a human has and adds it to the owning Shinigami’s life!! So if a man was to live for 80 yrs and at 20 he gets struck down…umm sorry…a sudden heart attack out of nowhere, the Shinigami will gain those 60 yrs. This is, in no case, a NATURAL death! A human will die naturally nonetheless, but if not killed by a Shinigami, they won’t be going before their ‘time’.



So? Remember how RYUK KILLED LIGHT? He wrote Light’s name in the Death Note so that he could die before getting caught. Thus, Light had a life ahead, whatever it was, and it was cut short by Ryuk! Obviously, Ryuk isn’t to blame, he did ‘save’ Light in a way, but if this situation could have been avoided, Light could have LIVED LONGER.

But, why did Ryuk do such a random act of kindness?? Wasn’t he supposed to be ‘detached’ from the entire ‘game’? But was he really not involved…like at all? Find out the TRUTH:

Mushoko Tensei Turning Points: What Are They?

Image
  If you guys are relatively new or anime-only fans of Mushoko Tensei, I bet you have heard several times about Olddeus, alternative timelines, time loops, and much more. This is confusing for a series where the MC doesn’t experience any of this! Mostly, the ‘Turning Points’…what really are they? We see them in episode and chapter titles, but honestly, what are they? So, let’s start from the beginning. Turning Points. These are events in the life of Rudeus that, if missed, would have led to a completely different life for him. These alternate timelines are pretty interesting by themselves, and usually, a small event snowballs into these timelines. So, let’s discuss all the Turning Points and what alternative outcome that would have occurred if they were missed! Turning Point 1 This happens on Rudeus’ 10 th birthday with the Mana Calamity. This was a pretty big event by itself. As per the chapter ‘Prologue Zero’, (which will be too much of a spoiler to explain here) it seems ...

Did Ryuk ACTUALLY HELPED Light?

  Ok, so from episode 1, Ryuk makes it clear that he doesn’t want to get involved in Light’s plans, is a ‘God’ in the sense of being ‘detached’- watching, sometimes enjoying and sometimes bored, as if an average audience of the anime itself, us! Except this is not the case, for Ryuk is in the anime and is the cause of the anime itself, having started it to overcome his boredom. Of course, he won’t help Light or reveal anything to him, and this ‘detachment’ forces Light to use his brain to find answers- a plot device making the anime more interesting and driving it forward. Also, Ryuk avoids the fate of both Rem and Gelus, who embody the fallen Gods who broke the iron rule of detachment. Bottom of Form But it is essentially foolish to think that, that Ryuk didn’t help Light at all. Avoiding this rule itself, Ryuk helped Light 3 times in the anime:- 1.   Spotting the spies (Episode 3): Ryuk spots Raye Penber and reveals it to Light. Of course, he made Light an...
