it is absolutely true that every character in death note is in a completely different piece of media from every other character. light thinks he's in law and order. L is in columbo, as columbo. misa is in a sabrina carpenter song and rem is in a chappell roan song. to ryuk this is all the three stooges. soichiro is in taken and matsuda is in brooklyn 99 and aizawa is in disco elysium. this is mikami's silence of the lambs and you're living in it. mello will either make this whole situation into twilight or die trying, and near? well. near is in death note.

i mentioned it in tags before but im still rotating it in my brain so. I think it’s really cool that L’s successors kind of embody the three categories of people that Light wants to rid the world of once and for all. There’s the morally ‘evil’ who commit crime (Mello), ‘lazy’ people who waste their talents not helping society (Matt), and any people who try to stop him from achieving his goal (Near). Theyre quite literally the personification three people he could possibly end up hating the most
