Series Synopsis
In the realm of the Death Gods, things have gotten rather stale. Hoping to relieve his boredom, the Death God Ryuk (voiced by Nakamura Shido) heads to the human world. There, he drops a mysterious object known as a Death Note. When a person’s name is written inside, that person will die. By complete chance, the Death Note gets picked up by a young man named Light Yagami (voiced by Mamoru Miyano).
Possessing a genius level intellect, Light sees the Death Note as an opportunity to rid the world of evil. In his mind, this is a task that only he can carry out. So with his new ability, Light decides to become the God of his new utopia.
Light’s actions quickly become the talk of the world. Dubbed Kira, Light is well on his way to achieving his God-like status. For there is no one capable of stopping him. Or so he thought.
Regardless of motivations, Kira is still a murder. The most dangerous one in history. Such a being must be stopped at all cost. A job that’s given to the world’s greatest detective. Known only as L (voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi).
Light and L, two brilliant minds, prepare for a battle that will determine the fate of the future. Should either of them make a mistake, the price will be their lives.
