#american death note

[oopdeathnote]

Imagine if you locked Light and Patrick Bateman in a room together. They would be having the most generic conversation but you wouldn’t be able to hear it over the sound of their overlapping internal monologues. There would be a few seconds where their monologues both play in sync to say something misogynistic.

for anyone interested in interpreting death note through lens that focuses more on the japanese political context, i truly cannot recommend "the world is rotten": execution and power in death note and the japanese capital punishment system" highly enough. here are some highlights:

As for the Japanese legal system, the population are unsatisfied because the failing network of responsibility and accountability means that the laws are not effective, the system is not providing the justice that the people expect of a public institution. Kira, on the other hand, is slowly accepted by the people as a legitimate source of law because he has the threat of force behind him.

By revolutionising the world with a new form of justice, Death Note challenges or overcomes two of the greatest criticisms of the Japanese capital punishment system by either exaggerating or eradicating them. The first element is the public nature of the Death Note's kills as opposed to the highly secretive stance the Japanese government takes surrounding the death penalty and its actual executions, and the second is the speed of death for the condemned.

In truth, Kira's first live (and widely public) execution, that of Lind L Tailor, was one that was practically sanctioned by the state as a legitimate use of violence and power given that Tailor was an inmate due for execution the day of his confrontation with Kira.

Light never claims to be law, and his claims to being justice hint at an insidious division between the two terms, 'suggesting that justice may be something quite apart from law, something that exists outside the legal system'. Justice is central to the idea of modern law, but it is the force imbued into the very concept of justice that transforms principles of justice into laws.

The world if people stopped applying their understanding of "conservatism" and "religion/christianity" through a very modern, deeply American view onto Death Note (a manga from the Early-mid 2000s which is very much set in the cultural and societal context of early-mid 2000s Japan and all that entails):
