Description:

In this thrilling adaptation, the protagonist Yagami Light is an exceptional student whose life lacks excitement and challenge. His world changes when he stumbles upon the enigmatic "Death Note": a supernatural notebook that grants its user the power to kill anyone simply by writing their name alongside the cause of death. Seizing this extraordinary opportunity, Light embarks on a mission to construct an ideal society, free from crime and criminal elements.However, as he starts eliminating criminals one after another, the police dispatch the brilliant detective L to investigate these mysterious deaths. This sets the stage for an intense mental showdown between Light's ingenuity and deceptive tactics, and L's relentless pursuit of truth. The Death Note movie, airing shortly after the completion of its anime counterpart, skillfully edits together the first 26 episodes into a two-hour feature while offering a fresh perspective by presenting events from the viewpoint of Ryuk, the mischievous Death God who gifted Light with the notebook.
