Death Note: Relight

Tempted by a fellow Shinigami’s curiosity about the human world, Ryuk reflects on the time he crossed over—and on Light Yagami, the exceptionally gifted student who caught his interest. What began as a stray notebook in a classroom became something far more dangerous when Light discovered the Death Note and its chilling rule: write a name while picturing the person’s face, and death will follow.

Disgusted by what he sees as society’s rot, Light seizes the Death Note as a means to purge criminals and reshape the world into his idea of justice. As unexplained heart attacks mount, investigators realize the pattern can’t be chance and turn to L, a legendary detective, to identify the unseen killer. The hunt narrows into a tense battle of strategy and misdirection, with Light and L locked in a high-stakes contest that threatens to tip the fate of humanity.
