Death Note (デスノート) // Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata

[mysillyside]

Misa Amane is conceptually, at her core, a character driven by a need for an emotional connection to another person after the death of her parents. Light is her ideal person to latch on to. Not only is he Kira (her savior) but he's also an attractive charismatic man her age. She asks to be his girlfriend specifically to ensure he stays in her life, essentially to trap him from leaving her, even specifying she's okay if all he does is use her, bc ultimately she just wants to be helpful to Kira. While she hopes that someday maybe he might learn to love her too, she's fine with playing pretend when he suggests he can act like her boyfriend, even if he clearly states he doesn't reciprocate her feelings. The reason Misa is so easily manipulated is because she's already in a vulnerable state of mind. Traumatized and emotionally unstable, she needs someone to depend on, someone to fill the void left after her parents were murdered.

You see the problem with Misa isn't that she's inherently a flat character. The problem is that she's written by a misogynist.

What happened was, the author wrote an extremely interesting set-up for a great female character full of potential depth- and didn't realize it.

So instead of exploring her preexisting characterization or motivation meaningfully, the narrative frames her as purely unintelligent and oblivious, because that's how the author sees her.

Despite her extreme competence at many crucial parts of the story like her emergence as the second Kira, the fact she managed to trap Light in a relationship with her or her contributions to the case during the Yotsuba arc, she's instead used for comic relief or fanservice. She's usually portrayed as dumb and irrational, a nuisance, nothing but a pawn in Light's plan, another woman who fell for his manipulation.

She's not allowed further complexity or to be taken seriously, because the author isn't interested in exploring his female characters beyond the most surface level writing required for the story to make sense.

#misa dw i will save you from ohba's misogyny... also to be clear this isn't exclusive to just misa. #all DN women no matter how interesting conceptually aren't allowed anywhere near the same amount of depth/exploration/focus as the men. #death note #misa amane #analyses & meta #💬 katposts

You know how people are often like, ok obviously Lawlight actually hated each other but wouldn't it be funny if they had crushes on each other instead and I'm like... I sincerely don't even think they seemed like they hated each other in the manga, hahaha like 100% of the time they were just unabashedly flirting and complimenting each other in their minds and obsessively following each other around, and L was constantly being like "tsk clearly only LIGHT could be as iconic as Kira is," and Light was constantly being like "tsk if only ANYBODY else was as iconic as L was at trying to trip me up" ...like I'm sorry but that's not hating somebody that's having a gigantic crush on them, idc what anybody says

#and yeah light killed him but #thats lights version of banging people tbh #and did you see how much he regretted it afterwards goddamn the man was in mourning about it for 500 years #anyways thanks ohba for writing the best gay love story of our time #sorry that you didnt do it on purpose hahaha #thats rough dude #light yagami #l lawliet #lawlight #p

Started this as a tiny sketch more than 10 years ago, and I finally finished it...

Interesting how she wore this in the anime JUST before a major character died

Part 1 of the long Death Note Analysis

Okay no because I’m sorry but what the fuck. You’re telling me that of the SIXTY-FOUR cameras that were placed in Light’s room, NONE of them thought to place one RIGHT WHERE HE SITS at his goddamn DESK??? Like HELLO???? Bro is writing names left right and center and not a SINGLE one of the 64 goddamn cameras can catch his WRITING?? Man no wonder he doesn’t respect his dad or the ICPO, they’re fuckin’ STUPID.

the thing that annoys me the most about lawlight and death note in general is how light and l would have met anyway if light wasn't kira!!! in the how-to-read it says that light would have been one of the greatest police chiefs in the world and worked with l on cases!!! i need a spin-off manga where light never becomes kira and they get married 💔

Death Note (デスノート) // Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata

I got Death Note HTR13 recently and reading it made me realize how there's barely any thematic meaning put into this story intentionally. Same with political commentary. Even (most of) the discussion around morality. Everything remotely intellectual ppl discuss about this series isn't a conscious decision, to a point that both Ohba (creator/writer) and Obata (artist), admit they were surprised by how much ppl had to say and analyze abt it.

Example of what I mean:

Also during the interview sections, there's so many instances of Obata asking Ohba what his creative vision was for this and that and Ohba just nonchalantly admitting he barely put any thought into the story beyond "oh this would be cool" or "oh this kinda fits the vibe".

There's a whole page of the interview where Obata is befuddled how the apples didn't have any intended symbolism behind them after Ohba tells him they were purely an aesthetic choice. Obata is so shocked by this (bc he knows apples are a common religious motif in art) he actually keeps asking Ohba if he's joking, while Ohba keeps stressing he's being serious. (Context: they never interacted while working on Death Note, they only spoke through their editor who'd rely production notes)

Obata for like three pages during his interview with Ohba in HTR13, after Ohba told him apples had no symbolic or thematic meaning in Death Note:

#EDIT: upon further reflection I think it's likely that in some segments Ohba was being humble or vague for privacy reasons #I just wanted to clarify that I no longer think that DN is a happy accident entirely! There was clearly still thought put into it. #(but a lot of it still very much feels like a happy accident at least imo) #death note #death note 13: how to read #tsugumi ohba #takeshi obata #💬 katposts #🤪 sillygoofy #analyses&meta
