This god of death is called Ryuk and is a spectral entity in 3D form that only Light can see. Meanwhile Light is visited quite often by the god of death who sort of eggs him along. L is on the trail to figure out who Kira is, and how he is causing the deaths of others. I suppose that means that no one can control death or face sentencing themselves. L (Ken’ichi Matsuyama) is the detective who despite the fact that criminals are dying is intent on finding Kira and revealing his identify. We gather pretty quickly that he is in possession of a Death note and able to do so.

Kira is the fictional name of the person who is causing all the criminals to die. For starters Light Yagami (Tatsuya Fujiwara) a student, is actually Kira. That is, it’s hard to tell who is what and what is who. So if your like me…a first-timer, the premise is a bit confusing on first look.
Ryuk death note 2006 series#
In any case, if you are watching the 2nd in the series first, you should study the intro credits a bit to get the facts of the death note legacy. They are of course mentioned in the intro but can fly by a bit fast if your not paying attention. The Death Note legacy has a few rules though that should be mentioned.

The 2nd film in the series that started it all. Light attempts to defeat L along with Teru Mikami (a Kira follower) and Kiyomi Takada (another Kira follower) but in the end will Light win? or will a Shinigami named Ryuk make all the difference in Light’s victory or his ultimate death? In the second installment of the Death Note film franchise, Light Yagami meets a second Kira and faithful follower Misa Amane and her Shinigami named Rem.
