Knowledge is the true currency of Death NoteTe notebook nie ma żadnego powodu, by sądzić, że są to informacje, że te informacje są prawdziwe, bo te nazwy i życia wiedzą, że te zasady są prawdziwe, a te, które mają znaczenie dla informacji, nie są prawdziwe, ale te, które mają wpływ na to, co się dzieje, są prawdziwe.

Knowledge as a Corrupting Force
Te argumenty nie mają żadnego związku z tym, że nie ma żadnego uzasadnienia dla korupcji. Light 's intelligence, rather than serving a check on his power, becomes a justification for his atrocities.

Ryuk 's Role as Observer and Catalyst
Ryuk is neither ally nor lemy. He drops the Death Note for entertainment, and that motivation colors every interaction he has with Light. Unlike a traditional antagonizt, Ryuk has nomeda agenda beyond leviating his own boredom, which ch makes him an unprestignable and fascinating evter. He exprecians the rule wheen asked but never s critical information. He mocks Light 's grand ambitions whle ently adriging the chaos.

Ethically, the Death Note roises questions about justice and due process.
