First lemme say that all this is only my opinion!

I got so happy when i saw new death note coming out i got my hopes up i thought they will continue kiras dream or something...but WHAT THE F***!
They messed everything up like everything the story started ok and the moment i found out what new kid gonna do i was already disappointed...i still kept some hopes but omg this was horrible it was painful reading it all and the ending?! noup this is horrible.
I find this new manga not necessary im like really disappointed. The kid barely did anything and everything went to waste.

im so disappointed i cant even explain whats bad about its just EVERYTHING...its all terrible...

Again my Opinion

The only thing that sucks about this is that final rule that Ryuk added. It ruined the GEOTUS's plan to MAGA :(

For me what ruined it was what the kid did with the death note...all the choices he had he chose that one...why?

I thought it was fine. It's a much deeper story than most people are even going to get.

the original had a crappy ending, so I thought maybe this would ''redeem'' it by confirming the fan favorite theory of kira turning into a ''shinigami'' and serving ryuki but....nah, just a crappy sequel

I disagree, it was a fresh of breath air that this kid wasn't interested in using the death note and it was also realistic, since he himself knows that the chances are way higher to get caught with the improvement of technology.

And the way how it was done was great, the only bad thing is the new rule asspull that became the main character death. Finally this was a simple one shot and it did nothing to ruin the main story, if they are planning a death note sequel then nothing would need to change.

That is so dumb, that is why it is a fan theory in the first place because its dumb.

Well, I liked the idea of how a Death Note would work in this increasingly interconnected world, it would be almost impossible to not get caught using it, also it would be boring to see another Kira, I mean, it's clearly that he was the smartest guy that could ever handle it, so if you're not gonna use it to kill people, you don't really have many choices to use it besides giving it to someone else, so selling it was the wisest option. Also, I was glad to see the return of the old characters and Minoru was a good protagonist, honestly, due to its design and the chapter cover art I thought he would be a Kira wannabe, but I was so wrong. The Trump part to me was laughable and weird, I get that it was like a kind of social commentary or whatever but it was so "WTF?" and the rule addition was unfair (ok, I know that word doesn't even work with gods of death) and a blatant asspull, but since it's an auto-conclusive chapter, it was obvious that the character would not get a happy ending. It was a satisfying story, the problem would be if Minoru was still alive and they were planning to do a full-length sequel of Death Note.

Writing the names is one thing, but with the increased surveillance it would be hard to walk around and do suspicious things like talking alone (when you're in fact talking to a god of death), trying to hide the changes in your mood or attitude, seeing too much people suspiciously dying of heart attacks again and so on. If L almost caught Kira, when there were million of other suspects, I think it would be obvious that Near, the guy that after more than 10 years most likely surpassed L, someway would caught Minoru sooner or later if he was killing people as he pleased, since he is not as brilliant as Kira.

Well, Light tried everything to not get caught writing the names and he outsmarted L, but it was just because he only suspected and didn't know about the existence of the Death Note until his very last days, now, everyone knows what a Death Note is, so if people suddenly start dying of heart attacks and other strange circumstances around the area where Minoru lived, he eventually would be caught, as I said, sooner or later, because Near is now as capable as L to caught every kind of delinquent and Minoru simply doesn't have the same wit, killer instinct and god complex of Light to go freely killing people and didn't have the privilege of being the son of the NPA's chief to avoid suspicion, I mean, Light was the perfect Death Note holder, no one could last longer than him using the notebook, if nobody ever knew what the hell a DN is, he would achieve his dream of being the god of the new world, but now that it is even mentioned in history books, that dream is no longer possible if you don't have the resources, so no point in using it. Really, if it is not used to kill people, I hardly can think in other option besides selling it to some powerful and rich guy.

you right...well if it was more realistic light would of won but obviously it would be weird if he had no difficulties...cuz lets be honest who would of thought that some random kid is killing people with a notebook...like no one in real world they wouldnt just randomly guess stuff like that its easier irl but again its anime lol

the 2nd half of deathnote's original manga was not needed, L was the best part of death note.

It's a one shot not a 2nd season (if that wasn't obvious enough). Kira's dreams isn't possible anymore, someone made a good video why the death note would fail in recent times, I suggest you check it out. I personally think A-Kira played it well going with pacifist route. He only got fucked by a stupid rule.

For me what ruined it was what the kid did with the death note...all the choices he had he chose that one...why?

to show how it would play out in a virtuous person's hands. I'd say he was more neutral good but, still, it worked as a one shot in my opinion.
moral of the story is, concerning the death note, that the only winning move is not to play. (you can rest assured that no one else will ever use the note, plus you'll have a shinigami to keep you company)

I had no issue with this one shot at all lol. Honestly seeing that Death Note had a sequel came off to me as a sort of cash grab to ride off of the success of Death Note. There really isn’t enough material to create a whole new series without copying or taking material from the original story.

With it being a one-shot, I thought it was perfect. The world was aware of this power and took precautions in case of it were to happen again. So creating a whole new series where someone tries to do what Light did over again is really something I wouldn’t want to see.

Honestly I would much rather see a pre-Kira storyline where an absolue idiot had the death note and the world didn’t have technology or the knowledge of the death note. Like if it were set in the 70’s or something, that would be fun.

The idea to organize an Auction for Death note was somehow fascinating but this is my personal opinion, because I've really enjoyed the 87 panels of this chapter, cuz I seriously wanted to see my gem Characters one more time, yeah it wasn't as panegyric as Death note but who cares if you are getting a chance to see your some loving Characters one more time...

I love it haha. if that king of death god didn't make that asspull new rule, the kid would've won. But just like what the oldest book in the world says, "you don't make a promise with a death god".

How so? He'd be dead, and America would still have the Death Note. The country would be better off.
