Ohba also revealed a little bit about his own insecurities as a creator. I cannot pretend to know so much that I can say he improved and in what way, but I do believe his ability to express himself through art continues to get better and better.” I cannot express how lucky I was to have him do the art for my series. “My impression of Obata Sensei is that he’s a very serious and sensitive person. He also said that “no human has the right to pass judgment on another’s actions” and that “No one should play God.” “Humans will all eventually die and never come back to life, so let’s give it our all while we’re alive,” he wrote. In the special 13th volume of Death Note, which served as an encyclopedic guide to his supernatural thriller series, Ohba revealed that there was no main theme for Death Note, but that he did believe in making the most out of life. What we know most about are Ohba’s personal convictions. His gender wasn’t even public until the inside cover profile of Ohba’s comedy-romance manga Bakuman in 2008, where Ohba was described with male pronouns. Friday’s release of Netflix’s feature film adaptation of Death Note means that audience members who want to learn more about the man behind the story will be looking for a ghost. He goes by a pseudonym, and has only given a few interviews. Tsugumi Ohba, the man behind the juggernaut anime and manga series Death Note, is largely an unknown entity. This helps guide him to his own decision when he gets a hold of the notebook, which differs from how others use it in the other short stories.Tsugumi Ohba isn’t a known comic book legend, like Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, or Frank Miller, but his impact on pop culture over the past decade has been monumental. This is reflected in characters from the original series (such as Near and the task force who went against Kira), and newcomers, like Minoru, revealing that he actually learned about Kira in school and understands that there are those who are pro-Kira and those who are against his actions. That’s the other part of Death Note Short Stories that I like – seeing how the world has processed the existence of the notebook. Minoru, having grown up learning about the Death Note in school, knows this, and uses it to his advantage. The money being offered for the book could solve a whole lot of problems, but instead, various governing bodies are focused on getting the book first and pinky swearing that they won’t use it (lol yeah, bullshit they won’t). The price the notebook goes for is in the same vein as “ Elon Musk has enough money to end world hunger but bought Twitter instead.” Like. The bidding war is unsettling because of how truthful it is. It really hits the nail on the head on how the government would react if such a terrifying weapon was available. Minoru’s story is my favorite in Death Note Short Stories. Of course, the idea of killing bad people is one that someone would have, but there are characters who are genuinely disturbed by the idea of killing anyone, and others who find more… financial uses for the notebook. Since the short stories are straying away from a character who ends up viewing himself as a god, we get a more relatable perspective. Killing them is helping the oppressed.” There are people justifying the deaths of the elderly because they’re just a burden and I felt like I was on Twitter in 2020, watching folks justify COVID deaths because “it’s only affecting old people.” “These old people may be alive, but they’re just a burden. There ends up being a group of elderly people BEGGING Kira to kill them because they’re in too much pain to live, but with that comes comments from society that sounds VERY similar to the way people were talking when COVID first hit. This causes a couple of different things to happen. For example, there’s a “Kira” who is going after the elderly.
