I feel like I need to address this about the Magic War

...yes, I hate Death Note and I think Light Yagami is both overrated as a character and wouldn't last long in a world full of magic.


I have seen stories on Fanfiction where he knows of magical creatures and there are bull reasons why he doesn't just kill magic users.

Given how easy it was to kill Rem, in what i admit is a smart move, fans exaggerate this trait to make him capable of being superior to magical users like the sailor scouts and Sora. And the Doctor.

But really...when those who know Kira is wirh magic..or even know about Kira, they can se magic to disguise themselves.


Given how that would have caused issues in Magic War, I decided to make Light order Ryuk to summon a Minster to attack Mikami in order to lead a magical user into the open. Oh and the whole thing about those with the EYEs being able to detect magic users? I made it up! Yeah I made it up. Wanna know why? Because of the lack of magical creatures in the proper Death Note, we don't know for sure if the eyes  can or cannot detect magic.

Light is NOT a recurring villain in magic war; by doing that he'll come off as comical with each defeat when he can just literally kill with a pen. So he has to die. And thus, his actions alongside Wing Skellingtons caused the events of Magic War.


aslo...about Hazama and Sly Cooper human? This is a different interpretation of them.

I hate Death Note and still think Yagami can NOT be a recurring villain, but the idea of exploring the aftermath of Kira set in a magical world has potential.

hence the Magic War.

(next chapter is being worked on :) )

Well this makes me very happy. Not only is light one of the most one dimensional anime characters I've seen in a long time, he's never once challenged, threatened or ever really put on the back foot. Not to mention that he's wildly irrational and is nearly as thin skinned as Donald Trump. 

In the first few manga issues he shit the bed when the fake L called him out on TV and killed him like some crackpot dictator. He's less professor moriarty than skinny Kim Jon Un. 

and because Light killed Rem doesn't mean that some magic user can't kill him, or can't outsmart him, or can't use his vast and fragile ego to undercut his apparent intelligence. Not to mention his physical cowardice and overwhelming overconfidence. 

Not to mention the fact that he rarely faces down anyone as eager to kill as he is. Misa could have easily killed him but she fell in love like a low rent Harley Quinn. L became friends with light despite knowing that he's a possible murderer and he displays highly sociopathic behavior that anyone with prolongued contact could spot. 

That said, I wouldn't mind seeing Light as a humiliated pawn by someone who can be a bit more threatening, maye Hugo Strange has surgically implanted a bomb in his head and unless he punches in a changing, secret code ever six hours that bomb in light's head will go off. Or maybe someone more twisted kidnapped light, sawed his limbs off and uses him as a brain trust stump. 

I may be getting morbid but I hate Light just as much as you do. And the thing about light, he can easily betray people who trust him (why they trust him I don't know) but you can't be betrayed by someone you never trusted. Like in a science fiction book a read where a mad scientist tries to work for an evil robot, but the robot removes the scientist's limbs because he knows humans are inherently untrustworthy.
