Light Yagami became a Shinigami in the Death Note Anime after his Death

I don't think Con carefully read my argument posted in the third stage. In response to Con's first REBUTTAL: Con just so you know I was not regarding the rules displayed in the screen clips as irrelevant... (That was the impression you seemed give off of what you thought I meant when you write your first REBUTTAL). I was just saying just because one of them said "All humans, without exception, will eventually die. When they die they go to MU (nothingness)" doesn't mean that has a convincing effect on the Anime reality. Yes indeed they are there to show how it works, I know that! That can still be regarded as making it "interesting" which is partly what I was trying to say. Now I agree with Con that the clips of the rules are there to show to how it works, but like I kept saying the Anime is only BASED on the Manga. Therefore it doesn't have to be the same reality. Once again look at the end rule in this link: http://deathnote.wikia.com... Now in we learnt in the Manga that the End rule starts off saying: "All humans, without exception, will eventually die. When they die they go to MU (nothingness)". Then we've learnt that there is a bit more that came after that which said: "All humans, no matter what they do in life, will go to the same place after they die. All humans are equal in death. Once dead, they can never come back to life". Now that bit was never shown in the Anime, and if that bit was shown then Con's argument may be leaping high. However due to that fact that the anime maker's didn't include it means it cannot be confirmed as true in the anime. Once again that goes in the advantage of the Anime makers to have Light Yagami reincarnated as a Shinigami. One thing I'd just like to point out is that where the end rule says "Once dead, they can never come back to life" that isn't exactly true. In the Death Note Pilot Manga it is learnt that there is a Death Note eraser that can be used to wipe out a written name in a Death Note and bring the victim back to life. So I think that implies that the End rule may not be all that genuine after all. Reference here: http://deathnote.wikia.com... ... Within Con's third REBUTTAL, Con said: "Every human goes to MU (Nothingness) and if the Shinigami realm /was/ MU, then there should billions upon billions of Shinigami in the Shinigami realm because billions of humans have died throughout the history of mankind." It appears Con didn't fully read a sentence I said below the paragraph where Con's third REBUTTAL was spawned, and I said: "That is very good evidence to suggest that the Shinigami realm is ANOTHER kind of MU (nothingness). And can be a Purgatory for Death note users." What I was saying was that there are 2 kinds of MU (nothingness). 1.Fate for non-Death Note users which is just plain nothingness 2.Fate for humans who have used the Death Note which will be the Shinigami realm. As Ryuk said: "The shinigami realm is slowly rotting, really meaningless and empty lives, and the only reason we still take human lives is because we're afraid to die ourselves. In fact the truth of the matter is that we no longer even know why we exist. In fact, I doubt there is any reason for our existence at all." Which means it can be regarded as another kind of nothingness. Once again is can be something Death Note anime maker's can take advantage of. ... In response to Con's forth REBUTTAL, Con basically said that the Shinigami Realm could not be a Purgatory because in order for it to be a Purgatory there would need to be a Heaven and Hell. And in the Death Note universe there is no Heaven and Hell. A Purgatory doesn't necessarily need a Heaven and Hell in order to exist. The point is that it's clear the Shinigami Realm is linked to the Human world, so it could very well a different kind of Purgatory to what humans know. Anyway with all the supernatural stuff that happens in the Death note universe it's clear that the Shinigami Realm must be some kind of spiritual world like a Purgatory anyway. As for what Con said about reincarnation Con said: "In reincarnation, you are reincarnated into a realm of existence depending on what you did and what your desires were when you were alive. In Buddhist reincarnation, you are reincarnated into an animal if you possessed a large amount of stupidity in your previous lives. You go to the Naraka/Hell realm if you were extremely hateful in your previous lives". Reincarnation can come in many different formats; it doesn't necessarily have to be related to what your desires were when you were alive. Death Note reality reincarnation can indeed be possible for humans that have simply used the Death note. Do bear in mind that Shinigami are Death Gods and main speciality is KILLING. Light Yagami was a Killer who desired to kill as many people as he could that he thought were better off dead. So the Shinigami realm can indeed be realm of existence for him depending on what he did and what his desires were when he was alive. It seems to suit him. ... Now let's recap on what my point of view is... due to the differences that the Death Note Anime has to the Death Note Manga (such as the different ending where fate of Death Note user is not explained). It seems very likely that the makers of the Death Note Anime wanted to adapt the Manga towards their own satisfactions. Satisfactions that wanted Light Yagami to have an Afterlife (as a Shinigami). I have explained as many facts of the Death Note reality as I could that would be in favour of the Anime maker's taking advantage of to make it plausible of Light Yagami becoming a Shinigami. The result of that was the unnamed Shinigami seen in film Death Note Relight 1: Visions of a God. This is the film I'm talking about: http://www.nt2099.com... Now let's recap what is known about the Shinigami seen in the film: This Shinigami must be the reincarnation of Light Yagami. This is due to the following pieces of evidence (that can be seen in the video reference above): -The coat he wears looks very similar to the one Light was wearing when he died. -He walks up stairs to meet Ryuk, which could be seen as a subtle reference to Light's death in the Anime. -The way he tosses the apple to Ryuk, as Light did when alive. -A red tie (which looks like Light's) is wrapped around the Shinigami's head. -The Shinigami walks into a bright flash of light at the top of the stairs. -The fact that he inexplicably knows Ryuk's love for apples without asking the other Shinigami. -The fact that Ryuk says "Light" after the Unnamed Shinigami leaves. -The red eyes that in the anime shows Light's 'Kira' personality. -He carries a scythe, similar to how Light does in some pieces of artwork. -The limp displayed while walking up the stairs is similar to the way Light limped out of the warehouse as seen in the Anime. -The Shinigami's mouth is shaped like Light's "Kira" smile. -The Shinigami sports a messenger bag almost identical to the one Light often carried with him in Season One. This is a picture of it: http://media.giantbomb.com... Now with all those similarities IT'S CLEARLY MEANT TO BE THE REINCARNATION OF LIGHT YAGAMI. IT'S RIDULAS FOR IT NOT TO BE! IF IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE LIGHT YAGAMI THEN WHY DOES IT HAVE ALL THOSE SIMILARITIES? Why couldn't the Shinigami have been some big slug creature or psycho cookie monster or a furry kind of Chewbacca or a kind of monkey on weed? For some reason it had to be a lot like Light Yagami, most likely because it is meant to be Light Yagami... You don't need to go deep into the logic of Death Note to be sure if that Shinigami is not meant to be Light Yagami. It is clearly meant to be Light Yagami... I rest my case.
