Death Note is known for its symbolic themes, smash-bitter tension, and fascinating graphic symbol designs. Likewise, information technology's one of the most serious anime out there. It involves a crazy guy who gets information technology in his head that he's god and can exact judgment on who he believes is guilty--or gets in his way.

But at that place is some sense of humor to exist had in this infamous game of true cat and mouse. Ryuk offers some comedic relief with his apple antics and snarky comments. L's candy addiction and sitting position is quintessential. There's besides the infamous potato chip scene. But what other weird aspects can be pointed out?

10 HEY, I JUST MET Yous!

Ryuk is a Shinigami, a death god, with a book that can kill anyone in whatever manner imaginable and he merely tosses the volume out into the homo globe and watches what happens. And coincidentally a brilliant high schoolhouse student with a hidden god-complex picks it up. Ryuk might as well have walked upwardly to Light and sang this parody. What could possibly go wrong? Simply maybe the world being thrust into chaos and dozens of people dying, including innocents and Calorie-free's family unit and well-nigh anyone who's had anything to do with Low-cal. But at least it's not boring.

nine DUCK AND COVER IS THE BEST WAY TO WARD OFF A KILLER NOTEBOOK

Sweet, sugariness Matsuda. So naive. If only this would piece of work for all of Light'southward victims. But duck and cover is not going to protect yous from a notebook that needs just your name to impale yous. In the terminal episode, Episode 37 "New World" when Mikami threatens to basically kill everyone with his Death Note, Matsuda braces for the seemingly inevitable. Thankfully our dear hero is saved and ends the terrible reign of Kira. But if Mikami did manage to write his name, then the pose taught on airplanes to assume in the event of a water landing wouldn't work.

8 WHAT We ALL WISH WOULD HAPPEN TO EDWARD CULLEN

The Death Notation anime and Twilight film came out at about the same time (two years apart), so it'southward no surprise that this meme was created. Edward Cullen is but the most annoying vampire to always live nevertheless many a teenage girls salivated at his pasty glittering abs. If only Ryuk and Light could set up that. Is it Cullen with an I or an Due east? Is information technology 2 Ls? Edward... That's spelled normally right? With a stroke of a pen, problem solved and no more vampire wannabe. If only that could exist true.

7 AN APPLE A DAY ...

Ah, the infamous saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Well, it doesn't keep Shinigami away. That'south for sure. In fact this crunchy juicy fruit attracts them similar flies. As Ryuk said they're like cigarettes and alcohol for humans and once they start eating them they get withdrawal which can cause body contortions and handstands. Tin't have a Shinigami running effectually doing handstands in the street or sleeping room. It'southward not pretty! And Light does not want to see that.

half-dozen FEED YOUR PET

"Feed the birds ... Tuppence a bag." Well, Ryuk doesn't care at all virtually birdseed, just he does need to be fed regularly to prevent those pesky withdrawal systems. Afterwards having to abstain from apples since Light's room was riddled with cameras, Ryuk's become twisted like a pretzel. In episode ix "Encounter," to beginning the symptoms Light buys a whole bag of apples from the marketplace and feeds him at the park, though to anyone else it only looks like he'south feeding nothing. Kira has to do something to continue his death god pet from writing his proper noun in his Death Notation.

5 STRAWBERRIES ARE RARE DELICACIES

What is this? Firefly? I don't think strawberries are very rare in the word of Expiry Note like they are in the 'Poesy even so Kanzo Mogi takes his bribe joyfully.

It seems like Fifty's only nutritional intake comes from the fruit on his sweets and the occasional banana, though that seems counterproductive, but the strawberry on a slice of shortcake is the cherry on a sundae, so Mogi should exist honored to have this treat. But 50's completely direct confront with this offer must be appreciated. Strawberries are wonderful but they can't compare to the delicacy of apples.

4 POTATO Fleck PRIZE

If simply every bag of potato chips came with a mini LCD-screen TV. In Episode 8 "Glare," Lite bought this bully device to go on track of the news and off criminals while studying for entrance exams similar a proficient, normal, non-psychotic, ambidextrous student. This reveal precedes the infamous potato chip scene. I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS Little TV! AND WATCH Information technology! As well bad Lite has to throw out that $400 TV to destroy the evidence. Where does a high schoolhouse student get that kind of money?

3 Die BEFORE Y'all'RE KILLED

Out of context, this is especially hilarious, but for some groundwork context this is from Episode 19 "Matsuda." In this episode, Touta Matsuda has to fake his death and while discussing this programme L gives this line. Acting drunk, Matsuda "accidentally" fell off of a building, but he's saved by falling on a mattress and Aiber poses as his dead body to complete the facade.

Thus with Matsuda out of Kira's sights, he can piece of work behind the scenes to accept down this serial killer with supernatural power. Thus he had to dice before existence killed. Does that make sense at present?

two WORLD'Due south SMARTEST DETECTIVE

Fifty's the genius prodigy detective, but he meets his untimely demise to a loftier school pupil. Granted, Low-cal is very intelligent. The child keeps upward this ruse for years with sociopath-grade acting, consulting a god of death, and elaborate schemes; he'south ambidextrous, and he passes all of his exams with flying colors. The two boxing it out with an amazing game of cat and mouse for twenty-five episodes but in the end, 50 loses because he grows to care besides much for the Light he thought he knew.

i RYUK LOGIC

Ryuk is a death god, impervious to death itself. Bullets, cars, nothing can terminate him only ... lawn tennis assurance? During a friendly game of lawn tennis between Calorie-free and L in episode 10 "Doubt," an aggressive serve from L sends the fuzzy green projectile directly at Ryuk and it scares the daylights out of his creepy creature. The truthful weakness of Shinigami has been revealed and it isn't apples. It'south tennis assurance. Buy a pack of those at the grocery store and go on them set up, because they're the nemesis of Japanese grim reapers.
