Hello YouTube.
This is CZ speaking.
With the release of the new Death Note movie on Netflix *clear throat* OK I'm not going
to keep up that voice for the entire video.
But anyways, here are The Things You Missed in Death Note.
The very first episode of Things You Missed was an episode on the trailer for this movie
and now it's finally been released.
One of the biggest complaints I saw about this movie on Twitter was the lack of the
iconic potato chip scene.
However, it may have actually been referenced in a small way at a couple different points
in the film.
Mia Sutton is seen eating some potato chips in Light's room, then he goes over to the
desk and it's covered in crumbs!!
So maybe the scene did take place "off camera" so to speak.
Did anyone else think when Light got caught with the homework pages that it was strange
that she found those, but not the Death Note?
I just imagine her thought process: you may have this book that's capable of killing 1000s
of people, and that's fine, but boy if you cheat in my class I will mess you up!
It's even more ridiculous considering that there have actually been instances of kids
getting in trouble for having fake Death Notes in schools before.
I attempted to read each page of the Death Note, but motion blur and Netflix's streaming
quality made it kind of hard, but here's what I picked up.
This page says something about Suicide and Scarlet Fever.
Light Turner is not the first one to have the Death Note and all the previous pages
and names are already in there.
Some of them were historical figures, others just seemed to be names.
This guy Jean Chabot was a Canadian legislator in the 1800s.
Michel Claparede was a French general in the 1700s.
Charles Adrien Merode was a nobleman in Europe, and I believe the name is also French.
In fact, it seems that the Death Note spent quite a lot of time in France.
The next page contains Louis Chabot, Michel Claparede again, with something crossed out,
and Andre Massena, a French Military commander.
So I'm thinking one Light's predecessors used the Death Note as a political weapon in ancient
France.
Can you say spin-off?
Before we continue, I need to set the record straight on this apple thing.
For some reason, in this movie, Ryuk does not, eat the center of the apple.
If you're a Death Note fan, you know that apple cores are a myth, they don't exist,
it all just apple.
Don't believe me?
Let me demonstrate.

Another thing I found strange: nobody questions the destroyed classroom?
This seems like a bigger deal than helping some kids cheat on their test, but it never
comes up again.
As Light goes to the window, some text reading: The World, is written on the wall.
Is that because it's a classroom and classrooms have maps of the world?
Yes.
But could it be a reference to the song title of the first OP of Death Note?
🎵Hirogaru yami no naka kawashiatta 🎵
Maybe.
Probably not.
In this movie, Light lives with his Dad, so unfortunately we do not get to see Mrs. Yagami
or Sayu.
We actually find out that Light's mom was killed.
I had assumed that it was earlier in his life, but she's still around in this picture on
Light's 16th birthday, so it must be very recent.
Now in the anime and manga, the Gods of Death come from the Shinigami Realm, which is not
seen any of the films.
Unless you count the relights, but those are just the anime cut down into the length of
a film, so that should not count.
Although we don't see the Shinigami Realm in this movie, that doesn't mean it doesn't
exist.
I noticed Rule 65 in the notebook makes reference to the Shinigami Realm.
It would also appear that the 19 day rule is still in effect.
If you aren't familiar with it, it allows you to write the cause of death before the
name, so long as you do fill in the name within 19 days.
Also, the 490 days you get to to maintain ownership of the Death Note without possessing
it has been shortened to 7 in this movie, and for no good reason because it never comes
up.
In this scene Light tries to get Mia to see Ryuk by having her touch the notebook, which
works in the anime, but not in this movie apparently.
So what I'm wondering is, where did he get the idea to try that?
Did Light watch the anime or read the manga?
Do those things exist in the world of this movie?
Kind of.
The Brode hostage situation takes place in Little Tokyo in Seattle, which is just a little
reference to Japan, and there a few in this film, like how Light tries to make it seem
like he is in Japan by adopting the Kira moniker (again, did he watch the anime?) and making
many of his early killings in Japan.
We are going to start getting into spoilers for the anime and the movie now, this is your
final warning.
Remember in my initial video how I speculated that Mia Sutton was the US version of Misa
Misa?
Well, Mia has an eye on her window, which is interesting considering that Misa obtains
the Shinigami eyes in the manga, and she is basically the eyes of Kira.
In the movie, there are no Shinigami eyes, but she does at times play the hand of Kira,
which is what Mikami does in the manga.
The song that Watari sings to L is from the Wizard of Oz.
It plays when they skip through the flowers toward Emerald City.
I'll talk more about the significance of flowers in this Death Note movie, later in this video.
Detective Turner has a list of murders that he suspects to be Kira murders in his office.
Some of them are kind of funny, and there are very few heart attacks compared to Light
Yagami.
Here are a few examples.
Eaten by Thylacine.
Attacked by bullshark.
Crushed by crystal chandelier.
Falling to death.
Electrocuted while playing guitar in the bath.
There were a few interesting things that L has, one of which is a golden apple, the other
appears to be a puzzle cube type thing.
If Mia Sutton is a combination of Misa and Mikami, maybe L is a combination of L and
Near.
The Lind L Taylor scene is skipped over in favor of L directly confronting Light.
He claims: "I shall be meeting you face to face very shortly."
Which he does.
In a really short scene, Light notices this guy following him, who is basically Raye Penber.
His name in this movie is Raymond Young.
In the anime, Light goes on a date with his classmate Yuri to Spaceworld, which is a Japanese
amusement park, in an attempt to out the identity of Raye Penber on the bus.
In this movie, he takes Mia on a date to this attraction on Pier 57, where they address
how the stalker should be dealt with, so I guess it's supposed to be the same scene.
That's not how L holds a phone.
This is how L holds a phone.
It seems strange that some of his other mannerisms from the anime carried over to Stanfield's
L, but not this others.
I guess Watari, is just W's full name in this movie.
Light writes "Watari" in the Death Note and it works.
In the manga, his real name is Quillish Wammy.
This is probably my favorite entry in the Death Note.
The guy's name is Abdul Aswad, and the cause of Death.
Eats a grenade.
EATS A GRENADE.
At this point, I don't understand why doesn't Light just burn the page himself?
That would be the first thing I would do.
If you haven't noticed, this movie is nowhere near as smart as it's Japanese counterpart.
If you haven't seen those movies, I would highly recommend you check out Death Note
and Death Note II: The Last Name.
I can't say the same for the spin-off sequel, L: Change the World.
This video is not sponsored.
Both the first and last major Kira killings happen in front of a florist.
When Mia dies, she lands right in this bed of flowers, leading me to believe that flowers
are somehow representative of death.
If flowers are death, than butterflies are an agent of death, or a spreader of death.
We see butterflies constantly being associated with Mia: in her room, in her locker, a butterfly
balloon hovering next to her when she is reunited with Light close to the end.
If you noticed any other references, let me know in the comments.
