In the film series, Ryuk is very similar to his canon self. The second film ends in much the same manner as the manga, except Ryuk pretends to be more cooperative by laughing together with Light over the fact that the Task Force can't shoot through his incorporeal form. Ryuk informs Light that humans who have used the Death Note are unable to enter either Heaven or Hell and shows Light his name written in the notebook. Light yells at Ryuk and jumps through him, trying in vain to stop his death, before dying in his father's arms. After Light's death, Ryuk asks L if he will to use the Death Note, and when L says that he won't, Ryuk calls L boring and flies away. He is last seen several months later, laughing and circling around Tokyo Tower. Ohba said that he did not have a lot of awareness about the debate surrounding Death Note. He says that he remembered seeing a magazine article about the series and that the article was "too difficult for me to understand [ laughs]." Ohba added that the creators did not intend for Death Note to be "such a noble piece of work." Obata added that "some people may have been taking the series a little too seriously." Obata recalled a television critic discussing the series and said that the broadcast was "so complicated I didn't understand [ laughs]." The two reiterated that the "deep philosophical themes" such as debates about whether Light is good or evil, "life and death," and the "merits of our Internet society" differed from the intention to entertain.

One must know the face of the person whose name is written down for there to be an effect. That way, people with the same names will not be affected all at once. DEATH NOTE 7 (集英社文庫) (in Japanese).

Death Note is a supernatural thriller series that zeros in on a very delicate question: is all life worth saving or are there some that we'd be better off without?Early in 2005, school officials in Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning (People's Republic of China), banned Death Note. [140] The immediate cause was that students had been altering notebooks to resemble Death Notes and then writing the names of acquaintances, enemies, and teachers in the books. [141] [142] The ban was designed to protect the "physical and mental health" [143] of students from horror material that "misleads innocent children and distorts their mind and spirit". [144] Jonathan Clements has suggested that the Chinese authorities acted partly against "superstition", but also against illegal, pirate publishers of Death Note. [145] The ban has been extended to other Chinese cities including Beijing, [146] [147] Shanghai and Lanzhou in Gansu Province. [148] Legally published Chinese-language versions of Death Note are published in Hong Kong. [145] On June 12, 2015, the Chinese Ministry of Culture listed Death Note among 38 anime and manga titles banned in China. [149] July 5, 2019 - At Japan Expo, Oniri Creations unveiled the unpainted prototype for a new L & Watari figurine. Ohba and Obata rarely met in person during the creation of the serialized manga—they met with their editor, instead. The first time they met in person was at an editorial party in January 2004. Obata said that, despite the intrigue, he did not ask his editor about Ohba's plot developments as he anticipated the new thumbnails every week. The two did not discuss the final chapters with one another and they continued to talk with the editor. Ohba said that when he asked the editor if Obata had said anything about the story and plot the editor responded "No, nothing". Rosato, Julie (November 3, 2005). "Death Note Vol. #02".
