Hello friends, today I've decided to start a new video series on my channel. It will cover various differences between the Death Note manga and anime that I've been able to find out now, more than a year after watching the anime. I'm reading the manga. Well, in theory, most of the information I'll share is about things that happen differently in the manga than in the anime, or things that do happen in the manga but don't happen in the anime. From that perspective, most of the information I'll share will be accompanied by a few interesting things I've found. Well, without further ado, let's begin.
The order of events in chapter 1 varies between both versions. In the anime, the chapter begins by exposing us on the one hand to the shinigami world with Ryuk in it and on the other hand to the human world with Light in it. Ryuk is sitting and observing the shinigami world. Near Ryuk, there are two shinigami playing a game with some skulls. One of them invites Ryuk to play but he rejects the invitation. While Light, after being in his class, walks home through the city while hearing constant news of murders and other crimes. Both express how rotten and repetitive it is in their respective worlds, showing us both at the same time. In the manga, this scene is very short and does not show all those details. It only focuses on Ryuk sitting in the shinigami world and at school. Looking out the window seeing how boring and rotten their respective worlds are. In the anime, Light, when he finds the net, Note takes it to his house where he reads its rules. He ignores it and lies down, but then curiosity takes over and he decides to try. if the notebook is real and from there everyone knows what happens light kills two guys with what convinces him that the notebook is real and decides to use it to change his rotten world then as we all know it appears to him a few days after he has to use the notebook and moves on to everything else all these events in the manga are shown in a different order in the manga after light ignores the notebook issue the chapter skips when cco days have passed since light has started killing criminals and when ryuk appears to him is when this happens that in flashback form we are shown how Light verified the authenticity of the notebook and decides to change the world with it in the manga the scene where he decides to go look for his notebook because 6 days had passed since he threw it away in the human world is shown before light even finds the Dead note this scene of ruk in the anime is shown only after Light tested the notebook twice in short in the anime the events are simply shown in the correct order and without memories while in the manga they are shown in another order and some facts are shown as a memory Well actually there is a memory in the anime but it is only the part where Light actually decides to change the world with the notebook it is not shown as a memory when he tests the notebook that is why I do not consider this memory as great as the one in the manga in the anime if you remember the second test victim of Light to verify the authenticity of the notebook was a guy who was trying to get a woman he met on the street to go for a walk with him she rejects him and then Between him and his companions they try to take her away in the manga they never reached such harassment in fact he did not have a reason so serious as to kill him since although he insisted a lot to the woman to go with him they never got to try to take his clothes like in the anime.
In a scene from chapter 2 of the manga a friend of Light mentions Superman he is talking to Light and another guy who wonders if the criminal purges are the work of the police then the other says that the person responsible must be a league of superheroes with guys like Superman together in a scene from chapter 5 in which he is observing the data on the various members of the Japanese police when you see Light's father we can see that he is 7 years older than Light's mother While the anime takes place in 2006 at the beginning the manga begins in 2003 in chapter 10 Ryuk is seen watching something that appears to be wrestling XD in chapter 15 he is seen smoking while he is at the headquarters which does not happen in the anime in chapter 16 of the manga Ryuk apparently mentions Mario Bros since he arrives at his house and since no one is there Ryuk tells him why don't they play a game of Mario Golf this scene does happen in the anime too but Ryuk He doesn't mention that specific game, a curious thing that happens in the manga, but in the anime it's not that Light. Although he only mentions for a moment that Light's sister could be Kira, this happens when Light's father suffers from a heart attack and Light goes to visit him in the hospital. In the middle of the conversation between the three of them, he asks him what kind of person he thinks he is. who is Kira he answers that the type of person that Kira is supposedly is a teenager from a rich family who must be in the last years of primary or high school since according to his approach it is not likely that Kira was a child since this by pure tem would not be able to use the power that Kira possesses and if he could he would only kill people he did not like and would not do something like change the world by eliminating criminals light also mentions that Kira does not have to be an adult man since if it were an adult who possessed such power he would use it for his own benefit such as getting money to be able to succeed in his job etc. it is here when based on everything said by light he points out that the suspicious person more than being sayi then there he gets angry takes a super machine gun and kills raki no lie x well as he said he gets angry and tells raki how he could think of saying such a thing just when his father was in bad condition But Light's father says that he does not believe that sayu It was Kira since he couldn't imagine her killing someone and says that if she did, she would break like a cupcake.
Chapter 1
The anime and manga begin in a different way. The anime begins by showing us the world of shinigami. We see Ryuk contemplating that dark and dull world. We can see that two shinigami are playing. One of them invites Ryuka to join them, but she rejects the invitation. Then we are shown the human world. We see our protagonist Light Yagami who is in class. We see how his gaze reflects his discontent with society because he is bored of how every day is the same. We see that he apparently sees how several of his classmates, instead of paying attention to the teacher, are distracted. Then the teacher asks Light to translate a line from the book. After that, we see Light walking back to his house, listening to the news about multiple crimes that have been committed. With this, we see Light saying that days come and go and that the same news is constantly repeated, which we see a parallel between Ryuk and him. and light saying both that their respective worlds are rotten after that we see light in class again at the moment in which the no falls to the human world and he realizes it in the manga things are different although we do see the parallelism between light and ryuk this We only appreciate it in one page that I am showing you instead of showing their respective worlds in as much detail as in the anime after that in the manga the part happens where the shinigamis are playing but they do not invite ryuk but it happens that ryuk gets up and before the shinigamis question about where he was going he answers that he lost his Death note and that he would go to the human world to recover it since five days had passed since he lost it seeing how it falls to Earth and from there the anime and the manga begin to advance in a more similar way because after that in the manga the part happens in which light sees the Dead note fall the background music that is heard at the beginning of the episode is a Gregorian chant whose lyrics translated into Spanish would say something like Christ Christ have mercy which refers to the fact that Light would propose to become the one from the New World proposing to punish the wicked with death something strange is that in the Soundtrack discs of the series there are several versions of this song called kirie But that is not the strange thing but the strange thing is that the version that is used in this first chapter is the one named kirie 2 instead of using the version that comes to be the first which is somewhat different from version two in the Latin dubbing what Light's companions talk about is not heard very loud not like in the original Japanese version and no it is not because when you see it in Japanese one reads the subtitles but in truth in Japanese their voices sound louder as well as it happens in other parts also in those who are in classes I do not know if it is an error in the dubbing or an error in the subtitles when watching the chapter in Japanese but in the Latin dubbing a news that Light listens to reports that a man murdered his partner of 25 years while in the subtitles we can see that what he says is that he murdered his roommate, which in Japanese would be specifying that the victim was a woman, we can see that the television has Panasonic written on it, a reference to Panasonic in the Latin dubbing, what the English teacher says we hear in Spanish, which in quotes is Japanese, since the idea that it is in Latin is that it is in the language that the characters speak, while when watching the episode in Japanese we hear that what the teacher says is said in English instead of saying it in Japanese, that is, the language in which the characters speak, so in the original version there was no intention that the Japanese who saw it would understand. Yes or yes, what was being said. The teacher saying, "No, that's not how it is in our dub in the anime." It seems that Light picked up the notebook in a somewhat secluded part of the path where the other students were walking, while in the manga he picked it up quite close to the others. In the Latin dub, when Light reads the first rule of the notebook, it says, "The names of the people written in this notebook will die." I didn't know that men had lives in the anime. He left the notebook on the ground again and began to walk away thinking about how it could be possible that he could kill himself with it and then stop walking and turn around implying that curiosity got the better of him and he went to pick it up instead in the manga he threw it in his bag immediately he didn't hesitate to do it in the anime unlike the manga we see how light walks back to his house appreciating this part in which while walking he says that he must be crazy for even considering that the notebook would work with this in the anime it was represented in a different way than light Well with this part we see how very sane he was in principle since he was a normal person at first in addition to questioning a lot that the notebook would work this is also reflected in the fact that in the anime he didn't immediately take the notebook like in the manga before I said that the first background song that is heard in the chapter is related to the ideal that light proposes well also the line that light translates is also related because what light says is follow the teachings of God and receive his blessings and thus it will be that the oceans will be abundant and furious storms subside this also has to do with the ideal that Light would propose to become The God of the New World in the anime Light after having read in the notebook that if you wrote the name of a person, said person would die, says that no one would believe something like that, however, curiosity leg and gets up to test if the notebook worked And well there you know what happens while in the manga after saying that no one would believe something like that, Light yawns and there the manga skips to five days later with what we see Light returning home with some friends and when he enters his room he proceeds to continue purging criminals with the notebook because after these five days he had already begun to commit his murders and Well there he meets Ryuk Quital so that it is understood in the manga things are somewhat disorganized Well when Light lies down there is a jump in time to when he has already begun to kill and when he meets Ruk while in the anime they show us things in the correct order only in the manga do we see that when Light is in class in the afternoon or at night the teacher Apparently he throws him a pencil or something and tells him not to get distracted since he was the national number one and he shouldn't let them down. Between the anime and the manga there is a big difference in the second murder that Light commits with the notebook. Since in the B anime there were these guys who wanted a woman they met to go with them who didn't want to and then they grabbed her and tried to take her clothes off and in response to that, Light writes the name of their, let's say, leader, causing him to be run over by a truck when he was going to follow the woman who was escaping, while in the manga.
Although they approached her, that's all they did, they surrounded her but they didn't try to rape her or anything like that, so in the manga it was somewhat extreme that Laid killed him when the subject hadn't done much yet and it's curious because in the manga when Light feels terribly bad for having killed two people he already says that his first victim, that is, the criminal from the news, it didn't matter if he died but that the second, that is, the one on the motorcycle, was not a criminal who deserved to be executed but in the anime he doesn't say this for sure because in it the guy on the motorcycle and his friends were going to try to rape her so his act was not as mild as in the manga, only in the manga it is explained to us why Light writes so many times in the Death Note to his second victim, that is, the guy on the motorcycle, the reason being that he was writing the name of the subject which Light heard in different ways since in Japanese from what I understand writing a person's name is not that simple because you must know with what kanis to do it and since Light only heard the name, he had to try several ways to write his name in the anime Only now that Light has used the notebook twice do we see Ry go down to the human world to retrieve his notebook while in See This we saw it before Light even found the notebook. In addition to the fact that in the anime Ryuk goes down at night but in the manga during the day. In the manga Light is more serious or sharp when he gets home and gives his mother his grades after cco days have passed since he started killing criminals. On the other hand, in the anime he acts more cheerfully and when he enters his room we already see his Assassin personality like when tand you realize that light wrote in his
Dead Note confirmed will die in the anime ryu on his own sees all the names that light has written but in the manga it is light who shows him the notebook telling him that he had questions to ask him in the anime suddenly knocks on the door of light's room his mother and gives him some apples that the neighbors brought them appreciating that she can't see ryuk and here happens the part where ryuk explains to light that since the notebook was his and now he had it only he could see and hear him ryuk trying an apple becoming addicted to them in this part while in the manga the apple thing didn't happen so later we are shown ryuk's addiction and also in the manga ryuk goes out the window for a moment and being outside the house he explains to light that only he can see and hear him being the notebook the bond that unites them in the anime in the conversation between light and ryuk the only thing that is shown as a flashback is the moment in the one where Light felt bad for having killed and then realized that that's what he thought all along, that the world was rotting and that whoever caused it deserved to die, with what we see how he proposes to change the world with what we see how he murdered several criminals, but in the manga, apart from this, we are shown, as a memory, everything that has to do with Light testing and discovering the power of the notebook, with what we see how he tells Ryu that he has had trouble sleeping and that he has lost almost 4 kg, but that nevertheless, he is willing to carry out the cleansing that he would do to the world, which is only shown physically in the anime how Light began to kill criminals. And finally this chapter covers the entire chapter one of the manga except the last two pages in which we are introduced to Interpol. Who will be introduced in chapter 2 in the anime. This chapter of the manga has the name of boredom, words of Suguna, creator of the manga regarding the reason for this name. Ryuk dropped the notebook and Light aspired to be the God of a new world. His reasons were bored, both reasons were valid and so without a doubt it was decided that it was boredom. However, he did not start using the notebook just because he felt bored.
Chapter 2
Something quite curious that we can appreciate when we are shown scenes from the previous chapter is that, well, as you know, logically in a series when past scenes are shown, not all the dialogues are shown, but rather a summary is made. This is where curiosity comes in since when they show us the moment in which he appears in front of Light, the only thing that he told him that Light is shown to us again is that the human who uses the death note will not enter heaven or hell for all eternity. This is curious because it seems like if you would like to remind us particularly of this being something that at the end of the series will have some importance only in the anime it is shown to us in this chapter again in class with the same teacher appreciating again how several of Light's classmates do not pay attention to the class in addition to seeing how again the teacher asks him to translate a line from the book from what I can hear the teacher's voice is different from the one he has in the chapter a this filler of the anime allows us to see Ryuk in the classroom complaining about how boring it was to go to class with what we see how he talks to Light and he tells him not to talk to him since he couldn't talk to him on the street with so many people around I don't know if you remember but in the last video we saw that the line that Light translated that said follow the teachings of God and receive his blessings and thus it will be that the oceans will be abundant again and the furious storms will subside it was related to the ideal that Light would propose to return The God of the New World Well if we adapt this line to the series To follow the teachings and receive the blessings of God so that all the bad well it relates to Light's thought that the world would become a better world if they supported his cause I mention this because in this chapter something like this happens again since the line that Light translates says once his dream came true he felt overwhelmed both by the magnitude of his feat and by the joy and happiness that it gave him in the case of this line this is related to Light's situation at the moment Well he happens to be the person who is said in the book to have felt overwhelmed that his dream had come true Since in this chapter Light was already changing the world using the Dead Note which was going as he planned and made him happy while in the manga Light returns home walking with his two friends and then takes the notebook when he gets home to show Ryu the web pages that those who support his cause have made and have called him Kira and then the confrontation of l to light occurs for tOn television in the anime there is one of his friends and asks him if they would do something but light interrupts him telling him that he was busy that day telling him ryuk that he really had nothing to do to which light replies that he did have something to do with what we see that when he gets home he continues his murders in Yes this difference in the events is simply due to a change in the order of these it is not as if in the anime the thing with the web pages or the confrontation of l does not happen obviously something curious is that when ryuk passes in front of the boy to whom light tells him that he was busy, he sees himself through ryuk with what we see it this way but with the boy who was next to him this does not happen in the manga it is in this part where light continues his murders when he gets home in which we see ryu eating apples for the first time in the same way only in it is seen the moment in Yes in which he became addicted to these while in the manga one would think that he is eating one because yes simply while in the anime we already know that he had tried them before and he liked them when in the manga light was walking with his friends one of them said that whoever was carrying out the murders had to be a league of superheroes with guys like Superman in the anime after light explains to ryu how he should manage his time to be able to carry out his purges without neglecting his studies sayu light's younger sister tries to open the door that was locked since she was going to ask light for help with her math homework with which when she entered ryuk tells light that he must be careful since anyone else who touches the notebook could see him which causes light to say and wait until this moment to tell me something as important as that damn shinigami this information that ryuk gives generates that later we see light design a plan to avoid problems with this you know about the false bottom in the drawer in which he kept it and all that But this in the manga did not happen at this moment but both the part in which light helps his sister and the part in which we see Light's plan to hide the notebook we see it when light had already confronted light on tv while that in the anime this did not happen yet a detail is that only in the anime sayu asks light if something was wrong with him when he stands still and curses ryuk in his mind in the manga it seems as if light got scared or worried more when sayuk wanted to enter I do not know if it is because in this part light is somewhat crouched but in the anime sayu seems to look shorter next to light than in the manga only in the manga sayu saw that on the floor there was a porn magazine For which she says to light Of course That's why you had the door closed before which light tells her that she was reading an article about him and Kira To which sayu tells her It is true that in the future you will be a detective light were you studying well how hard before which light proudly tells her that he will become the most important of the headquarters which sayu believes that light will be able to achieve saying ryuk to as that with that in that lay Light's conviction wondering however how many years did he think that would take wondering what Light had in his head only in the manga it happens that when we are shown the ICPO we read in a certain developed country one of those who is in the ICPO meeting has the voice of Mario Castaneda, that is, the one who does the voice of Goku in the Latin dubbing this is a curiosity that many will already know and that has been said in many videos But well, the names that we see that those who are in the meeting have are in fact names of soccer players from the country they represent as you can see in the case of these two we appreciate names totally in Spanish such as Juan Carlos Escobar and David González Matsuda in the manga it is seen in a different way than it is seen in the anime if you observe it I am not sure for how long in the manga it is seen this way but I do know that from a certain point in the manga Matsuda already looks more like how it is seen in the anime only in the anime does Light's father arrive when the meeting had already started since he had to answer a call from headquarters only in the anime it happens that when I am cool Light's father explains to Matsuda who he was we see images that represent the multiple cases that he has solved in the past Watari's voice when he appears before the ICPO dressed like this and as the only intermediary between them and L. It sounds somewhat strange compared to how it really is in the anime. The only part in which we see Light gathering the things he would use for the system with which he would hide the notebook and destroy it in the hypothetical case that they found it is this one in which he goes to a garbage dump followed by Ruk. While in the manga we also see him go to a store to buy some things he needed. In this scene from the anime, a derivation of L's classic theme plays in the background and it's cute.Bear because this is the first version of the theme that we hear in the series instead of the original. One detail is that only in the light manga does he tell Ryuk when they're talking about how if someone in his family touched the notebook, he would see that if Sayu were the one who touched the notebook, she would die of a heart attack just from the scare of seeing Ryuk. In the manga Soiro and Matsura and in Yes, everyone is more surprised that he asked for the Kira research headquarters to be established in Japan. In addition, in this one we see how an English American or someone who spoke English asks this question in Japan.
like when you realize that Grisa copied Light's method to hide a book. In any case, we never actually saw Light use this method or that it ever actually saved him. This news anchor also has the voice of Mario Castaneda. Curiously, Light's father has the voice of the narrator that we hear from a certain part of the first Dragon Ball, all of Dragon Ball Z and even a certain part of GT, with José Labac who interprets him. In addition, Ryuk has the voice of Super Number 17, played by Rolando de Castro. Only in the anime do we appreciate this scene in which they show us several random people and various parts of the city, with which we appreciate how Kira's existence becomes increasingly famous. Only in the anime do we see that when Light tells Ryu that if it were the case that in a class the students were asked if an evil person deserves to be killed, everyone would say no. Since humans always hide what they think when they are in public, an example of how a girl would respond is physically shown that it is not correct in the anime. On Light's TV, we first see this screen, then a presenter who apologizes for the interruption in the usual transmission and announces that a transmission would be made from the icpo And then we see lind L Taylor who was posing as l while in the manga we see Taylor from the beginning in the manga once light kills Taylor and they take him away the Voice of the real l begins to sound and Shortly after on TV a screen is seen that says l while. that in the anime this screen appears and there l just begins to speak although in both the anime and the manga l tells like that among all the deductions he made is that he has discovered that his first victim was just a guinea pig only in the anime does he tell him after that so you haven't been killing for a long time Although apparently in Japanese he doesn't say it in the Latin dub yes And finally this episode covers chapter 2 of the manga although it also covered some things from chapter 3 and 4 thus generating some differences in the order in which the events occur between the anime and the manga as only chapter 2 covers it completely only from him we will say The origin of his name which is l These are the words of the manga's creator. Here he appears as the main character. At least another main character was included, and it was certainly a chapter of the anime. As a result, the subtitle was a single letter in homage to him.
Chapter 3
In the anime, we see Mogi inform the rest of the headquarters that they have received approximately 3,029 phone calls or emails from the public so far, most of them simply curious citizens or pranksters. However, there were 14 people who claimed to know Kira or have seen him, but none of them provided information that was not previously known. There were also 21 people claiming to be Kira.
And after that, another researcher reports that they have been able to determine that the information about the heart attack victims was indeed made public in Japan just before their deaths. He also reports that regarding L's request to investigate the time of death of each victim, they were able to notice that on weekdays they died between 4 pm and 2 am, with the majority occurring between 8 pm and midnight, accounting for 68% of deaths. While on weekends and holidays, the times of death were spread out between 11 am and midnight. The first difference is that in the manga the investigator speaks first, communicating the times of death, and then Modi speaks, who by the way, in the manga, looks somewhat strange, as if he doesn't look much like he does in the anime. Another thing is that, unlike the manga, once he hears the report of the victims' death times, he points out how extremely important that information is, explaining to the investigators that it is quite possible that given the hours in which Kira commits his murders according to the day, he could be a student, Kira being someone with a very strong sense of justice and who aims to become something similar to a god, but who nevertheless has a very childish concept of good and evil. That is, both in the manga and in the anime, after everyone gives their repIn short, he asks those in charge of investigating the victims and the media to further investigate the exact way in which their identities became public, noting that he is particularly interested in knowing if photographs of them were shown, but only in the anime. L also shares with the investigators his theory that Kira could very possibly be a student.
In the anime, when Soichiro is stretching after the meeting and Matsuda speaks to him, they are on an upper level of the building, while in the manga they are at the exit, as Soichiro was already heading home. This is why here in the manga we don't see Matsuda give him a coffee to cope with his tiredness, since here he was already leaving, unlike in the anime. In the anime, the last thing we see during Light's family dinner is Light pointing out to his dad that he looks tired as he explains that the case he's working on is difficult, appreciating how Ryuk realizes that the fact that Soichiro was Light's father was the latter's trusted source, appreciating how Ryuk points this out to Light once Light returns to his room, where Light explains how easy it is for him to hack his dad's computer to stay on top of the investigation.
However, in the manga we see that Soichiro, after telling Light that the case was difficult, tells him that the person with the most authority over them had said that day that based on the time of the murders, the criminal could be a student, causing Light's mother to tell her husband not to bring up such topics at the dinner table, asking her what was wrong with it given that Light's opinion has helped him in some cases in the past. And after that, Light gets up, his sister being surprised by how quickly he finished eating, then asking Light if she needed more help with her homework, to which she says no, causing Light's father to ask Sayu if Light has been helping her again, which causes Sayu to gracefully tell Light not to rat him out, and finally Light tells his mother before entering her room, that he himself would clean his room and therefore should not enter, she telling him that since he entered the institute they agreed that Ella would no longer do it, pointing out Sayuk Lightstein, in quotes, that age.
And it is in the midst of all these dialogues that in the manga we are told for the first time that it was already suspected that Kira was a student, so it is not that in the manga L has not shared this theory with the other researchers, but simply that in the manga, unlike the anime, the exact moment in which he shared it is not shown. In both the anime and the light manga, he begins by saying that given the rules of the notebook, if he wrote heart attack as the cause of death, he could manipulate the time of death by telling Ryuk that he could provide more entertainment. However, only in the anime is it physically shown how several criminals are dying while Light goes to school normally, given that he was scheduling the deaths.
It's curious that Light killed 23 people in a single day, since while it was true that if he wrote heart attack as the cause of death, he could manipulate the time of death. Much later, near the end of the series, we are told that the maximum amount of time a person can be controlled is 23 days, which is the same number of victims Light killed, taking advantage of this, both in the anime and the manga.
At one point, Ryuk tells Light that someone has been following him, even at that very moment, and that someone is an FBI agent. He requested that several investigators from the organization go to Japan to investigate the Japanese investigators and people close to them. The fact that the agent was able to obtain information about the investigation meant that he was either among the investigators on the case or people close to them.
This fact, by the way, is only physically apparent in the manga, but only in the anime do we see the moment when Ryuk realizes it. This moment is in this part where Light is in class and Ryuk looks out the window. Although in the manga, Ryuk is seen as if he were observing something while Light is in class, it is only in the anime that we clearly see what he notices.
In the anime, the agent following Light is seen as a shadow, that is, he is physically visible, but mostly his back is distinguishable. In the manga, although his back is also seen, he can be seen in more detail, including his head. In the anime, after Light finds out he's being followed, we see him in his room thinking about it, while in the manga we first see how his mother greets him.
In both the anime and manga, she tells Light that if he converts the numbers he sees above his head to human time, he can figure out how much time he has.He has left to live, which, however, he would never tell her. But in the anime, he tells her before he mentioned the deal about the Shinigami eyes in exchange for half of his remaining life, while in the manga he had already told her about the deal.
Therefore, when he tells Light that he won't tell her how much life he has left, La makes this face, since if he accepted the deal, he wouldn't know how many years he would have left to live. Alas, in the end, it turns out that in the anime, after
Light and Riu face each other, leaving us wondering whether Light would accept the eye deal or not, we see people watching Light's house and we even see his face, so in the end, his face is seen earlier in the anime than in the manga.
And finally, this chapter covered the rest of chapters 3 and 4 of the manga and chapter 5. Meaning of the titles of each chapter according to Sugunoba. Chapter 3. Name, family. After learning that LK had a younger sister and that his father was the head of the central office where the murderer's case was being investigated, we titled this chapter based on Light's final sentence.
If he made a mistake, Kira would be forced to kill his own family. Up until this third chapter, I decided the subtitles would have no more than two words.
Chapter 4. Name. Electric Current. From here on, we were careful not to reveal what the next chapters in Jump were about, as well as being aware of their names and playing with them a bit.
Essentially, this chapter talks about where the notebook was hidden because there were other options, for example, double and deletion.
But we concluded that electricity sounded more interesting, and as I mentioned before, it's played with a bit. Chapter 5. Name, Eyes. talks about the exchange of the eyes of the gods of death, but exchange didn't sound very appealing. I thought eyes sounded better.
Chapter 4
While in the anime, in the scene where we see several Shinigami wondering about Ryuk, we're shown each one up close.
In the manga, we see everything from a single perspective. Additionally, in the Latin American dub, two of the Shinigami have the voice of an investigator, one having the voice Mogi has in Chapter 3 and the other having the voice of SPK Commander Rester, who appears later.
The strange thing is that according to Blaje Wikia, this isn't Mogi, but rather an ordinary investigator, when from what I see, he looks exactly like Mogi. Although it's a minor change, in the anime this part is reversed compared to the manga.
Only in the anime do we see how the FBI agent following Light leaves the place, stopping watching Light's house when he sees that he turns off the light in the manga.
Throughout the conversation between Ryuk and Light, the latter remains seated in his desk chair, while in the anime, he leans back on his bed at one point, then sits down, and then sits down in front of his computer.
While in the anime, when Ryuk tells Light how rotten the Shinigami world currently is, flashbacks to chapter one are shown.
In the manga, only a very generic image representing said world is shown. By the way, something I forgot to mention in the last video is that in the manga, Ryuk explicitly states that for them, Shinigami don't care which human they kill to survive; they just tend to kill the first person they see, period. All ideas, such as trying to build a better world for humans, hating them, or simply wanting to cause chaos, no longer exist.
It's because of small things like these that we can appreciate how superior the manga is, as it's somewhat deeper than the anime.
Well, this simple phrase from Ryu makes you understand that the Shinigami weren't there to kill humans for the sake of it, but that when their world wasn't yet rotten, they sometimes considered who they should kill, and so they analyzed human behavior, just like Light does. As in several other parts of the manga compared to the anime, Light appears much more cheerful when he expresses to Ryug the importance he believes the Shinigami world has.
Despite Ryug, for his part, saying it was a rotten and worthless world. Only in the manga do we explicitly see how Soichiro records the data given to him about the victims who performed certain strange actions before dying. In the anime we see Light directly telling Ryuk that it was time to act, since he found a perfect criminal to do what he wanted, this being a drug addict who had tried to rob a bank, having attacked some people and coming out empty-handed, appreciating how Light calls a friend with whom he was supposedly going out on a normal date, we know that it was all a plan in which he would use the drug addict to find out the name of who was following him. But in the manga we first see how Light sHe sits down to breakfast and takes out a diary in which he notes that the things he wrote in the notebook happened just as he specified, noting that in the news that described how a thief entered a convenience store and, due to a struggle with the employee on duty, ended up with his own knife stuck in his stomach, dying from excessive blood loss.
In the anime, from the moment Light heads off to meet the girl he was going out with, we see the people from Facebook following him and Light noticing this, expressing in his thoughts that it was perfect and that after all it would be a waste of time if he wasn't doing it.
But in the manga, we see the people when Light is already with the girl and we don't physically see how Light realizes that she is following him.
But we see Light's dialogue before, or rather, we see him saying something that was almost the same when he was at home devising the entire plan. While he's devising it, he briefly wonders if the agent would also be following him that day, only to later reason that they would, given that it wouldn't make sense for them to only follow him on weekdays and not on holidays like that Saturday. While in the manga, they're still waiting for the bus when the girl tells Light that she didn't understand, given that he'd said he wouldn't leave until the exams were over.
To which Light replies that since he'd placed first nationally, she rather humorously tells him he was a nerp. In the anime, this happens when they're already on the bus. Another thing is that in both the anime and the manga, we see that the people recording the data express in their thoughts how normal Light was, spending the entire week studying, taking breaks, and going out on the weekends, so there was no reason to suspect him. However, only in the manga does it express, in passing, that there will be no need to investigate his sister.
In my opinion, in this chapter we see what would be the first event that could be considered something very convenient for the plot, being the fact that despite considering there was no longer any reason to suspect Light, the agent decides to see what he was doing that day anyway and thus conclude his investigation of Light, since Light's plan ultimately depended on it.
In the anime, they show you the bus ride in more detail, showing other passengers, as if generating more drama by watching Light wait for the thief he had selected to carry out his plan to appear. While in the manga, once the FBI agent sits behind Light and the girl, we immediately see the bus make a stop where the criminal appears.
In both the anime and the manga, Light notes that besides the criminal, there are seven passengers, so everything should be fine. However, in the anime, we get a close-up look at each one, while in the manga, we get a general view of the bus when Light says this.
Only in the anime do we see that once the drug addict enters and shouts that it was a kidnapping, the bewildered FBI agent wonders how a kidnapping could happen right then and there. This is quite interesting, because in itself, we could say that this guy already found it strange that something like a kidnapping happened just as he finished investigating a Serqu suspect.
In fact, I think he says it in the next chapter. We'll see when that scene comes out. In both the anime and the light manga, he asks people how he could be sure he wasn't an accomplice of the kidnapper, but only in the manga do we see that before asking him that, he tells him that from his accent he deduced he wasn't Japanese, the agent then tells him no, that he was American of Japanese descent.
Only in the anime do we see how Light smiles when he manages to get the agent to give him his ID, which indicated his name was Rey Pember. Only in the anime, the kidnapper silences the grandmother who was on board, threatening to kill her if she didn't keep quiet. In both the anime and the light manga, he expresses in his thoughts that they were safe and that the guy wasn't going to shoot, but only in the anime, at least in the Latin American dub, does he express that he wasn't going to do anything, which already showed that Light's certainty was justified, this being the fact that in the notebook, when he wrote the conditions of the guy's death, he manipulated him so that he wouldn't shoot them.
Only in the manga do we see Rey worried that the note Light dropped and the kidnapper took was the one that said they were planning to arrest him when he was distracted. He pretends to pull out his gun or something.
By the way, one thing in the Japanese audio is that it seems like Light is more surprised to see that Rey was from the FBI, as if his voice expresses more surprise than in the Latin American dub.
In the anime, the part where the kidnapper is taken is made more dramatic.The guy realizes Ryuk's presence because a piece of the notebook was the paper Light dropped and touched, which allowed him to see Ryuk. The exterior is shown first, and it's made as if the guy is gradually noticing Ryuk's shadow. In the manga, the guy only turns around to finish threatening Light, and then he notices Ryuk's presence.
In both the anime and the manga, Rey, thinking the guy was hallucinating, screams everyone to the ground, but only in the anime do we physically see Light and the other passengers heed his advice.
Only in the anime do we see Ray pierce Ryuk when addressing the hijacker. Only in the manga do we see Ray say that he's out of bullets when addressing him, but in the anime, he only addresses him, so only in the manga does it imply that he went after him since he no longer had any bullets, as obvious as that may be.
While in the anime, through Light's words and flashbacks, we are told what Light's plan consisted of.
In the manga, we have to read what he wrote in the notebook to understand what he did. Furthermore, only in the anime, at the end of his explanation, does he tell King Pember in his thoughts that he's next.
And finally, this episode covered chapters 6 and 7 of the manga, although it also covered a bit of chapter 5 due to the anime's changes in the order of certain events. It also covered a small part of chapter 3 that wasn't covered in the previous chapters, this being the scene of the Shinigami wondering about Ruk.
Meanings of the manga chapter names covered according to Sugunova.
Chapter 6. Name: Control. The chapter begins with an experiment Light conducts to determine
how much he can control people's actions before dying. Since it sounds similar to "investigation," it was considered, but since there weren't as many scenes from the headquarters where they were investigating, and since the meaning for Light was different, it remained in control.
Chapter 7. Target Name. Osoreda shoots Ryuk. By joining forces, Light has the name of his target: King Pember. So I more or less chose titles that had multiple meanings.
