Spoilers below Ryuk gives note to a genius kid, Tanaka. Instead of using the note, Tanaka decides to monetize by doing an online Death Note auction. Near (now L) tries to figure out who Tanaka is but in the end, Tanaka outsmarts Near. Some American wins the auction and pays Tanaka 1000 trillion yen. While all this stuff is happening, Ryuk gets called by Shinigami King and Ryuk announces that there is a new Death Note rule, stating that if you sell the Death Note, that person will die as soon as that person receives the money. Manga ends with Tanaka dying in front of an ATM
Kinda unfair to make the rule after it happened, but glad to see Near still sucking balls
Jace Scott
>haha lets make a rule because we dont like losing
this is fitting but a shit tier ending
Jonathan Hernandez
making up a rule because you got outsmarted by a fucking kid and got butthurt is pretty pathetic.
Brandon Harris
Okay that's stupid and fucked up.
Ryuk, you can't pull that just because the person who got their hands on the death note wanted to make some actual money instead of playing your stupid game.
That's pathetic Ryuk and you know it.
Brody Nguyen
The Shinigami were the kids all along
Nathan Clark
What are Death Note fantasies/a/? I always wanted to use a Death Note to get the girl that didn't like me to suck my cock then die of a heart attack seconds later.
Thomas Myers
that's fucked up.
Eli Rogers
That's not very nice user
Jace Fisher
Why is selling it a problem? All of Light's shenanigans with giving it to other people was fine, but selling it is a no-no? Why? Ryuk can just switch to following around the guy who bought it for entertainment. What does it matter to Ryuk whether the guy he gave it to is the one who ends up using it?
Sebastian Baker
>not killing her family and then swooping in as emotional support How beta can you get?
Shinigami King made Ryuk add the rule because he was mad that humans were selling the death note
Ryan Ramirez
Because they greatly mischaracterize Ryuk in the spinoff:
>W-who are you?!?! >I'm the Shinigami Ryuk. I randomly dropped this Death Note to see what a human would do with it! >Soooo, this is the thing that killed people like Kira did >Yep! And you can do ANYTHING with it! >Okay, then I'm going to sell it to the highest bidder! >FUCK YOU I'M GONNA MAKE A RULE SAYING YOU CAN'T DO THAT AND IF YOU DO YOU WILL DIE!!!
Geez Ryuk, whatever happened to "I want to see what you would do with it"?
Jason Gray
>Shinigami King made Ryuk add the rule because he was mad that humans were selling the death note
That's still stupid. It's fair game to sell it if the game is "I want to see what you would do with the Death Note". Don't fucking apply such a rule in effect because you don't like how the game was played.
That's like someone saying "I'm going to walk away with my earnings at the poker table because I played well" and the owner of the casino says "SHOOT THAT FUCKER DEAD!!!"
Don't be made at the guy playing the game right. It's petty and it's downright bad writing
Nolan Evans
As stated, that doesn't make any sense. Ryuk does not make or enforce the rules. Don't you mean that the Shinigami King made that rule? Either way, it still doesn't make sense. The Shinigami King had no problem with all the shit Light did. How is selling the Death Note for money worse than literally trying to become God-Emperor of the entire world with it?
Connor Reyes
Not saying it’s not bad plot. Just wanted to clarify that Ryuk was forced to do so
Jacob Evans
Tell me that Near at least dies in this, please.
Jeremiah Stewart
You're dumb user. You could make her fall in love with you and then she dies of a heart attack 60 years from now or something
Oliver Jackson
This is awful, if I were the author's I'd feel ashamed of myself for letting that pass but they're the same people who wrote that terrible Bakuman manga so they only care about money anyway
Ayden Taylor
Pretty sure there's a time limit on how long you can control a person and it's far shorter than that.
Levi Ward
>How is selling the Death Note for money worse than literally trying to become God-Emperor of the entire world with it? Because you aren't using it for the intended purpose, which is killing humans.
Blake Wright
Maybe because he saw what he did with it (selling it and not use it) and had no intention of letting anyone to actually use it.
I think the problem people have is understanding that Ryuk have no intention of giving the Death Note and just likes seeing people being corrupted by the power of using the Death Note, he have all the power and just lets people believe they have control over him.
David Howard
Why though? What make Death Note good was the characters, with L and Kira gone what is the fucking point, I don't give a damn about Near(gay)
Thomas James
> Sell the death note for some outstanding sum of money
Was he being smart about it because all things considered that's a terrible idea if you can't keep your identity hidden, the person who buys it off of you can just write "X sends me back all the money I gave him and then dies" and boom, free death note.
Jayden Johnson
where is the source on any of this
Jackson Torres
There's the 23 day rule but if you write 'dies by disease/illness and specify an illness that would take more than 23 days to manifest/kill you then the rule isn't broken and can end up taking more than that allotted time.
I think Light gave Aiber liver cancer or something and it took him two years to pass away.
Liam White
Presumably whoever is the highest bidder is the guy who is most interested in killing humans If the Shinigami King cared so much about the job getting done he'd just ban humans from using Death Notes at all
Asher Rogers
This, if people are going to end up being killed after the sale then what do the shinigami care? Time is basically meaningless to them.
Ian Price
>using the dn to kill Fucking brainlets all of you. I would impregnate thousands of women while living a life of comfy neetdom.
Why even bother making that rule? Wasn't a shinigami dropping the DeathNote in the real world actually an anomaly? Most shinigami's didn't care and called Ryuk a weirdo. Why make it seem like the shinigam-king sees value in proper use of the DeathNote by users?
Jonathan Perez
What a stupid way to end the plot
Christian Morgan
Has there ever been a case where a continuation of a series that has a definitive ending ages ago turned out to be not a complete shit?
>shaman king flowers >not shit a fucking helicopter tempts me to disagrees
Angel Smith
>This, if people are going to end up being killed after the sale then what do the shinigami care? Time is basically meaningless to them. I think the issue is that even the Shinigami King CAN'T do that even if he wanted to, because at that time it's already "human property".
Actually what happened to the Death Note in the end? Ryuk shouldn't be able to take it back because it was never given back to him, unless he became smart enough to find a loophole like writing a nearby human's name with the description "gives a mythical being he meets ownership over a strange notebook he finds next to a corpse" or something like that?
Andrew Davis
I havent read it in a long ass while but didn't Near have the real one in his possession at the end? Maybe he gave it back afterwards? Or maybe Ryuk didn't need to be 'given' it since Near didn't use it ((as far as I recall)) so it wasn't in his ownership?
Angel Taylor
Why has Near not kicked rocks yet?
Luke Nguyen
IIRC the rule is that it has to be explicitly returned from by a human to a shinigami.
Jonathan Thompson
Couldn't he just take the money and kill the people his "client" wanted? Like a supernatural assassin or something. It's not like he's selling the book itself.
The non-Nisei Kinnikuman continuation is generally pretty well-received.
Isaac Allen
Reminds me of Greek Mythology and retards trying to outsmart or claim they're better than the gods, and shortly after get what's coming to them
Ayden Cooper
Is it supposed to be like an old myth where the moral is just “Don’t fuck with gods”?
Nathaniel Lopez
Maybe the Shinigami King overlooks Ryuuk's eccentric habit of dropping Death Notes into the human world because at least names are getting written down. Death Notes popping up on the black market are probably a bit too far for him.
Eli Howard
Can the spinoff be about the American guy next time?
