This is what was written on the last page of the last book of DeathNote. I have just finished reading the entire series and it is one of the most entertaining and mind boggling comic I have read so far. But this comic is not suitable for people whose chinese is not good and who cannot tolerate immense amounts of speech bubbles. Yes, there are tons of dialogues in this comic and if you don't understand any one of them, there is a high chance that you may not be able to follow the story. After all, the comic is about the battle of wits. If you don't have wits, please don't waste your money.
Anyway, here is how the story goes:
The protagonist, an incredibly intelligent high school student, Light Yagumi (夜神月), got his hands on the DeathNote by chance and decided to use it to root out the world's evil and become the supreme god of his New World Order. So, he started killing off bad guys one by one using the Note. Light's actions received mixed reactions from the public; some revere him as the saviour of mankind and called him 'Kira' while some condemn him as just another psychotic murderer.
For a moment, it really seems that Light was well on his way to create a utopia but as we all know, the path to godhood is never easy.
The mysterious deaths attracted the attention of the world's top detective, also incredibly intelligent, Lawliet, otherwise known as L. And so began the battle of wits between god-wannabe Kira and god-defeater-wannabe L. Blah blah blah and L died in the end(his death affected me both emotionally and psychologically). L's disciples, N(Near) and M(Mello) then took over the battle with Kira. Blah blah blah blah blah, Kira was defeated and died a tragic death.
- End of story -
Well, after Kira died, the public gradually realized that the mysterious deaths of villians stopped occuring and so all the bad people became active again. I guess we can't helped it, its just human nature.
The greatest irony, in my opinion, is that, unbeknown to Light, he already is a god in the hearts of many even though he failed to create his utopia. The last few pages of the comic depicts a trail of people wearing hoods(like the KKK) walking up a hill and at the top of the hill, a young lady held out a cup and murmured "Lord Kira" and then started praying... and then
- Thus concludes the story of the DeathNote... -
I want to thank the author Tsugumi Ohba for creating such a marvelous comic. It helped waste alot of my time haha.
